DREAMS OF THE BLIND.
at What Age Child Loses All Memory
of the Visible World.

at What Age Child Loses All Memory
of the Visible World.
Among the papers read before the
biographical section of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, was one on 1.-The Dreams of
the Blind by DR.. Joseph Jastrow, of
Philadelphia. The object of the paper
was to determine the extreme age at
which a child may become blind and yet
lose all memory of the visible world, so
that it no longer sees in its dreams
almost all dreams of normal per-
sons" the papers says, "are 81 ght
dreams, and dream is often spoken of
as a vision. The blind are deprived of
this most important sense; but if they
have not been born blind they may re-
member enough of what they have seen
to enable them to imagine how things
look, and when the Imagination has free
play in sleep to picture themselves as in
full possess: on of all their senses. Physi-
ologists would explain this by saying
that during the years in which they saw
a certain part of the brain has become
educated to receive and interpret all
these messages which the eye sends and
that when his part of the brain acts
spontaneously in sleep the person
dreams of seeing. Such portion of
the brain would be called the sight
center.
"If, now, we find out the latest age
at which blindness may set in and
vet the person keep on dreaming of
seeing. we will find out the time it takes
for this sight center to develop, for, of
course, it is not present in the newborn
infant. For this purpose about two
hundred blind persons of both sexes
were questo ned at the institutions for
the blind in Philadelphia and Baltimore,
and it was found that those who became
blind before their fifth year never
dreamed of seeing; of those whose sight
was lost between the fifth and the sew
enth year, some did and some did not
see in their dreams; while all whose
eyesight was DESTROYED after the seventh
year had quite as vivid dream visions as
seeing people. The fifth to the seventh
year is thus shown to be the critical
period. This period corresponds with
the age which authorities assign as the
limit at which a child becoming deaf
viii also become dumb, and also with
the age of ones earliest continuous
memory of ones self.
at is interesting to note that blind
persons dream quite as frequently as
normal people, and that with those who
do. not see in their dreams hearing plays
the principal part. When dreaming of
home, for instance, they will hear their
fathers voice or their sister singing, and
perhaps will feel the familiar oh, ects in
the room, and thus know they are at
home. We, in such a case, would see it
all. Philadelphia Press.

FANCY SWINE.

How to Obtain New Vigor without Part
ing with Marketable shape.
Those who have bred and fed the finer
kinds of swine can hardly be expected
to take a step backward, parting with
any portion of the shapeliness to which
they have been accustomed. 1t may not
be wise to do this, but an important
question is, how can those who breed
for feeding purposes mainly, or wholly,
keep up the symmetry, easy fattening
tendency and general style which be-
longs to a tirst-class market hog? After
a score or more of years have been oc-
cupied by the advocates of in-and-in
breeding, and they have been numerous,
the list of these has dwindled down, and
those possessed of intelligence. and
who have kept their eyes open, keep up
this advocacy in manner greatly
modified, and qualify their sayings
more than formerly. The best
framed sentences in advocacy of a
practice, the results of which an OBJ
serving man, though he runs can see,
count for but little, and eventually fall
to the ground entirely if the outcropping
proofs point in direction opposite to
the arguments.
Improvement as regards swine bred
for feeding, can be effected easily, with
out parting with shapeliness or fatten-
ing tendency, simply by crossing one
breed of improved swine with another,
the two having no direct kinship or
blood in common. The great refine
ment found in high-bred swine in gen
eral, undeniably weakens the vitality OF
the hog and his powers of resisting dis
ease. Now, in the crossing of two OPP
poslte breeds, though both are what are
termed fine, new vi COR is obtai ned with
out parting with the marketable shape,
and in place of lessening the fattening
tendency this is manifestly increased

Skinned milk and grass alone will
raise good calves if the milk is abundant,
and not allowed to become sour, says
the Agriculturist. When too sour IT
causes scouIs, which counteracts its
good effects. Skinned milk is rich IN
albuminoids and phosphate of lime,
thus giving strong muscular and bony
development. A little flax seed will
improve it, as it prevents constipation.

FRENCH CANADIANS.
How They Have Increased During the
Last Hundred Years.

How They Have Increased During the
Last Hundred Years.
A century and a quarter ago the
white population of Canada consisted
of about sixty thousand hardy French
colonists, who, with their Indian allies,
principally occupied the best and rich
est lands on the shores of the st. Law
renee, between the towns of Quebec
and Montreal Sonic few were settled
on the banks of the Richeleu, which
flows northward from Lake Champlain
and empt.es itself into the mighty St.
Lawrence near the little town of SOrel,
formerly call William Henry, after the
sailor monarch who once honored il
with his presence. The remainder OF
the vast area now known as the
Dominion OF Canada which stretches
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, and,
bounded on the south by the frontier
line of the United States tnunhAs -,;4el;
its northern boundary the extreme
linn is known to Arctic explorers-was
then a wild and tracKless coun-
try, covered in great part by
thick forest, teeming with animal life
and traver5ed by wandering bands of
savage and crafty Indians, who were
supported by the huge herds of buffalo
which roamed over the prairies, and by
the fish that abounded in every lake and
river. The province of Quebec, alone
the size of modern Germany, was, with
the exception of the region between
Quebec and Montreal, an ulinhabited
wilderness.
To-day the French-C Canadians have
increased to a number which may be
computed at over one million and a
half, and they have become something
more than an ordinary factor in the
population of five m lions, which, in
GLIDING English, Scotch, IRISH and
Frenchmen, has spread itself over Brit
ish North America, from Halifax in the
east to Vancouver Island in the west.
They are still chiefly to be found in the
province of Quebec, French names be-
ing as rarely met with in other portions
ofCanada as they are N England. The
spectacle OF fifteen hundred thousand
Frenchmen, speaking their own Ian
guage, following their own manners
and customs. and pract sing to a Ger.
tain extent their own laws, in
a country in which they are con-
quered people, is very remarkable
one How many nations besides En-
gland would have allowed this condi
ton of things to continue it is not very
difficult to say.-AN the Year Round.

Contraction of the Hoof.

A hoof contracts from dryness conse-
guent upon state of inflammation of
the interior of the foot, or from want of
nutrition of the horn at the origin of its
growth at the coronet The injury is
difficult to repair because the vascular
ssue of the foot which connects the
hoof with the interior part of it becomes
absorbed and in part lost. The remedy
is to rasp the hoof quite thin; to leave
the frog untouched, so that a healthful
pressure may be exerted on the interior
of the foot; to keep the hoof dres
with mixture of glycerine, molasses
and water in equal parts, and tc cover
it constantly with a bandage to keep it
moist and to apply blistering ointment
to the coronet,-M J, Times,

How Bismarck Pushed His Point.

An interesting and characteristic anec-
dote of Bismarck's early career in
diplomacy is given. He was Prussian
Minister to the German Confederation
which sat at Frankfort. In the house in
which he lodged there was no bell, and he
intimated to the proprietor the necessity
of establishing such means of communica-
tion. The proprietor refused, as it was
"not so nomin ated in the bond" or con-
tract. BY and by pistol shot was heard
in Bismarck's room. The affrighted
proprietor hurried into the room to find
out what the disaster was. "Don' d is
turb YOURSELF" said Bism arck; "this is to
call my servant AS there is no bell 1 will
henceforward employ this method of sum-
moning him." The bell was supplied and,
the shooting ceased.

AMONG the people of to-day, there are
few indeed, who have not heard OF the
merits of Prickly Ash Bark and Berries, as
a household remedy. Teas and drinks have
been made of them for centuries, and in

reliance in rheumatic and kidney diseases.
Prickly Ash Bitters now takes the place of
the old system and is more beneficial in all

Note By the Pu6liSIerS:-We have received
the above interview from H. H. Warner G.
Co., Rochester, N. Y, with the request
that we publish it for the good Of suffering
people. In foot note to their letter they
say:
"The experience of Dr. Clark is not
strange to u.s. In our correspondence we
have found that many thousands of people
are suffering from what they think is Con-
sumption, whereas the real difficulty is
with the liver and kidneys, proven by the
fact that when these organs are restored
to health by the use of Warmers safe cure,
the consumption disappears, and so does
uremic or kidney poisoning, which causes
so many symptoms of diseases that the hui
man system is subject to. The same may
be said of rheumatism, caused by an acid
condition of the system. We insist upon
what we always have claimed, if you re-
move the cause, the system will soon per-
feet the aCork already begun. Mrs. Rev. DR..
Theodore Wolf, of Gettysburg, Pa, wife of
the editor of the Lutheran Qadrterlu said
her friends thought her far gone with Con-
sumption but after thorough treatment
with Warmers safe cure, she says: Il am
perfectly well.' We can cite thousands of
such cases, but one is enough. If you pub
lish the abo 3 article, Kindly send us
marked copy"
We gladly eive place to the article, for
if we can in any way stay the ravages of

millions yearly, it is our bounden duty so
to do. Pun
