The Abbeville messenger. (Abbeville, S.C.) 1884-1887, 1886-07-20

The wearing of colored eyeglasses has
become fashionable in New York. They
are known as dudes glasses. Their pop
ularity is said to have originated from
the appearance in Gotham of an English
society man with colored glasses on his
nose. But for wear in bright summc,
weather glasses of the proper tent are 8
great protection to eyes that are weak,
and are cool and comfortable.

There died recently in New York city
at the age of forty-four, a business man
whose last hours displayed a fortitude
and a tenderness that literature might
preserve. While experimenting the re-
inoval of some machinery he was thrown
under the wheels of a freight car and had
the flesh salmost entirely stripped from
ono of his legs. While waiting for a sur.
geon he continued to give his orders to
his men, and wrote q telegraphic mes
sage to his wife to meet him on the arri-
val of a certain train. 'Ihave met with
an accident" it read, 'sbut I write this
with my own hand" On arriving at the
Grand Central Depot he was borne on a
stretcher through the waiting room. AS
Q as he saw his wife IN the crowd he
waved his hand to reassure her, saying
gayly, with a smile, sHere I am Annie"
When told that the limb must be ampu-
tated, can right" he replied, ''only
leave enough for me to ride horseback
with" The announcement a few hours
later that he would not survive the oper-
alton, was received with perfect calm
ness. "It's odd" he observed, eryly,
.that after lodging bullets for four
years in the war, and after facing DANCE,
for twelve years in and around the mines,
I should at last be killed by a freight
car" Tho next morning he was dead,
having retained his consciousness and
calmness to the end.

The fireman suddenly started to his
feet, with a hoarse, gasping cry.
"The signal" shouted he. "The reu

In less han a second the midst and

seemed to clear away from the engineers

the awful terror of their position-thc
express train rushing at dizzy speed tow
ard the yawning gulf, beneath which
lay the black river.
The signal! And he had not seen it.
Mechanically he sounded the whistle,
sharp and shrill-two brief, uncarthly
shricks-and then sprang out into the
darkness, through which the rcd light
streamcd like an eye of sullcn fire!
He had done what he could to a
the fated train, and he graspcd blindly
at the one chance in five hundred for his
own life.
He sprang, and striking against the
beams, lost all consciousness in the in
slant that the train skinned by him, its
long array of lights cleaning and vanish
ing, and faces here md there looking
out of the windows, all unconscious that
they were going to Death!

would, of course, do the man no harm
but would, in fact, prove rather nour-
fishing. Another theory is that the per-
former had previously been a sword
swallower, thereby having made his
throat so callous that the glass would not
cut it on its passage to the stomach; but
this does not explain how it is digested.
From all this, knowing that the glass
does not stay in his mouth, and being
equally certain that it cannot go into the
stomach, there is but one conclusion to
be drawn--that the glass =; intercepted
before reaching its destinai. n. But how
can this be done2 Very easily. The
sword-swallower educates his throat to
allow the presence of the sword; the
glass-eater prepares his to receive a tube
of some description, which probably has
a s~trainer in the end to allow the water
which he drinks to filter through, but
retains the glass until such time rs he
can dispose of it without being observed.
That silver tubes can be worn in the
throat we all know from the numerous
instances in which they have been used
in surgical operations. Meanwhile glass
eating is becoming one of the crowded
professions, and it behooves the mapa
