Sleeping in Church.

A physician who was asked for
reasons why people become drowsy
in church and if there was any reme-
dy for chronic cases, said that the
drowsy feeling in church was often
due to bad construction to overhead
ing and to the general quiet and
composing surroundings. 81 have
often" said he, "advised patients 0
mine who are troubled with insom-
MIA to try quiet church where the
preacher was not too energetic in his
manner, and in most cases the result
has been gratifying. The poor man
who has become almost wild through
want of sleep generally obtains re-
lief and falls off into gentle and re-
freshing slumber. Many people suf-
fering in this way take ride in a
railroad train for relief and often get
1t, but nothing has succeeded so well
as the Sunday morning service in a
quiet church. If those people, how
ever, do rot need to sleep in church
and do not want to would drink
very strong tea or coffee before going
to church, they might find it effec-
tive, but by no means healthy. Why
do you see the baldheads noddng
most in church? Because the old are
more susceptible to the influence OF
such surroundings. The women sell
dom go to sleep, because they are so
dressed that to sleep would be almost
impossible. If the men would lace
themselves up tight they might keep
awake. too. but, in the words of Gen
eral Knick booker, "they cawn't do
it, you know" -Philddeiphin Record

1t will be remembered by our read
ers that about a year ago Capt. p. A.
Chisholm had the sight of his left eye
destroyed by being accidently shot
by a comrade while hunting near
Oakland. For fear of the other eye
becoming affected he determined to
have the injured eye removed. This
was successfully accomplished on
Tuesday, by DR.. j. p. s. Houston,
of Savannah, Ga. assisted by DR.. d.
Murray Cheston, of Philadelphia, and
DR.. E. II. Bartlett, Proprietor of the
GIades Hotel. The doctors are con-
fident that Capt. Chisholm will be
able TO perform his ordinary duties
in few days.

A Charming Little Story.

Several years ago gentleman had
the misfortune to become totally
blind, a cataract forming over his
eyes. While in this condition his
wife died.
A young German girl, whom the
unfortunate man had never seen, was
very attentive to the wife in her last
illness, and, after her death, did what
she could to make the grief-stricken
husband and his two little mother.
less children as comfortable as posi-
Bile.
Such devotion did not go unrewar-
ded. The blind man proposed and
was accepted. He married the faith
full girl. Two children were the result
of their union.
During all these years the blind
man never lost hope that some day
he might again look upon the beau
ties of nature and the faces of the low,
ed ones around him.
A physician was finally consulted,
who agreed to attempt the removal of
the cataract. The operation was sue
cesSful, and he from whom the light
of day had been shut out for so many
years, saw again, He was almost be-
side himself with joy.
A friend, who was at once recogniz.
ed, came, leading a lady by the
hand.
DO you know who this is p he ask
ed the happy fellow.
No, l do not
This is your wife,
And then the pair, one of whom
had never seen the other, fell into
each others arms, and domestic
scence of pathetic beauty ensued.
The two children were also brought
to their father. He clasped them to
his beating heart and all the miseries
of the past were forgotten in the pleas
ure of that moment.
This is true story. The actors in
this life panorama, covering period
of ten years, are all alive. The hus-
band seems as we'll as he ever did,
and is now in business in a distant
city.
