HRS. CRAWFORD'S SHAME
H0W SIZE WAS RUINED BY SIR
CHARLES dixie.
Trial Of the Great London Divorce
Case-A De, rec for the
Husband.

LONDON, February 1.-the trial Of
the divorce case of Donald Crawford
against his wits, in which Sir Charles
Dixie is a correspondent, was begun
to-day. Great interest is felt in the
case and the courtroom was crowded
when it was called. Sir Charles ar
rived early and took his seat in the
courtroom without being recognized
by moet Of the people in attendance.
Mr.. Chamberlain, president OF the
Local Government Board, and many
gentlemen prominent in official and
social life, were present.
THE CASE BEING ANNOUNCED,
the petitioners counsel stated that
the first iniimation that their client
had OF his Wife's unfaithfulness was
on the receipt of several anonymous
aetters, TIE writer OF which warned
Mr.. Crawford TO beware of 1.-THE men,
Der from Chelsea" (Sir Charles Dilke).
Mr.. Crawford thereupon made an in
vestigstion into his wife's habits, and
found that she had been correspond
ing with one Capt. Forster. This Of
Tense he had condoned. Receiving
further anonymous lettsrs, Mr.. Crsw-
ford taxed his wife with infidelty.
She admitted her guilt and made a
full confession. She said she had
slept two nights in the same bed with
Sir Charles Dixie. His attentions to
her, she said, had commenced directly
after her marriage. He professed to
admire her because OF her resemblance
to her mother. The wife OF the Ieti.
toner had attributed the anonymous
letters to the vindictiveness of her
mother. The petitioners case rested
solely on the wife's confession. The
servants of Mr.. Crawford's household,
counsel said, would give evidence
showing Ii at their mistress had been
absent from home on the nights she
stated she had slept with Sir Charles
Dixie.
THE PETITIONER,
Mr.. Crawford, was called to the witness
stand and gave testimony supporting
the statements OF his counsel. Mr..
Craw lord faid he had been startled by
his wife asking him whether he would
forgive her if che had been unfaithful
to him. His wife's sisters had been
shown the anonymous letters, and
had agreed that they were in the hand
writing of their mother. In her con-
fession the witness said Mrs. Craw-
lord had declared that Sir Charles had
compelled her to enter a bedl with
Fanny" his mistress, Sir Charles
himself lying beside them. He Taught
her every French vice. He then told
her again how much she was like her
mother.
DECREE FOR CRAWFORD.
Counsel for the petitioner sub
mitted the evidence against Mrs.
Crawford, but submitted none against
Sir Charles Dixie. The court granted
Mr.. Craw ford a divorce from his wife
and dismissed the charges against Sir
Dixie.
The consensus Of opinion is that
the filthy revelations made in the trial,
and his failure to attempt to either
deny or disprove the charges against
him, have practically ruined Sir
Charles Dixie.

TRANSFERRING EYEs.-Two months ag'

TRANSFERRING EYEs.-Two months ago
DR.. Smith, of the eye and ear department o.
the County Hospital, Chicago, performed a
difficult surgical operation on the eyes OF
little threemopths'-old child, which wss
totally blind. Il suffered from ma!igusn;
ophtfalmia, and the cornea of one eye was
terribly bulged and completely opaque. DR..
Smith dissected out the indamed cornea aud
suyrafted with delicate needles the cornea OF
a healthy rabbit. In performing the opera
ton care was taken to preserve the delicate
structure of the conjunctiva Of the rahn'.
eye. No hope was expressed at the tune
that the transparency of the cornea would be
preserved after it had been engrsfted. After
q month had passed and the operation bad
proved successful in every other way, there
were some signs that the child might receive
at least partial sight. So similar operation
was performed on the child's second eye, the
cornea of the rabbits eye being first laid On
a piece of cork and the membranes adjoining
1t, which had sloughed off after the tirst ope-
ration, being removed, the surgeon being
convinced from the first operation that Tue
vitalizing power did not proceed from these
membranes. The eye on which the hrst
operaton was made has assumed lis natural
shape and color, and the other IS healing sat-
isfactorily. They are normal in every re-
spect except the giving Of sight. But for
the operation the eye-bail would nave burst

HalfThree Acres and a Cow.
From the Pan Mall Gazette

In the near vicinity of a thriving
manufacturing town in Scotland, with
a population of about is. 000 inhabi-
tants, many OF whom have small
gardens, there live a worthy couple
and their six children, who have not
so mach land as three acres" but
only about the one half of this guam
tity and no more. they have got the
cow however, and pig or two, and
they raise good deal of market pro
duce such as Strawberries, rasberries,
gooseberries, lettuce, cabbage, etc,
ia their season. Husband and wife,
and the children as they grow up,
work upon that bit of ground in
dustriously; they are never idle; they
till the land manure it, and keep it in
perfection. Not foot of it is incum-
bered with weeds, or is allowed to lie
waste. From early morning till
evening some one or other are bravely
engaged on ii at the proper season.
and in consequence the soil is lovingly
grateful to them for il, and repays
them well, SIS it always generously
doc, for the care and attention beStow-
ed upon It. 1t may be mentioned that
the small but well-built dwelling
house which stands in a corner of the
