A New Operation for Elindness.

As blindness is one of the severest Attic
lions that can befall a man or woman, so
any discovery that will lead to its cure or re
lief is of the utmost Importance. A new
operation has been discovered by which the
sheath Of the optic nerve can be opened, and
even total blindness in some cases cured By
the operation the brain is also relieved Of the
pressure caused by the fluid secretions in the
sheath which runs from the brain to the eye
Four operations have been performed. One
case failed, but in the other three the patients
sight was restored, and themselves relieved
of all pain arising from the pressure on the
brain. Surgery is advancing while medi-
cine appears to be at a standstill and as back
ward as it was century ago. 1t is almo,.
the only science thas has not kept pace with
the discoveries of the times-Once a Week.

LIFE ON A PLANTATION.
Source Of Supplies for the Kitchen-An
Amateurs Cook Book Butchery.

A plantation is little world Of its own;
and housekeeping has to have a primitive
completeness about it; a hOusekeeper must
be what the ball managers call "a good all
round playerT Figure to yourself oar stu
alton, for instance. We are six miles Of
swamp from the nearest railway station.
The plantation store is the only source of
supplies outside the mailbag The store keeps
little of everything, from quinine to agri-
cultural implements. But it confines itself
to the necessaries of life. For the Injuries
we must depend on the mail rider To buy
by letter one needs to know very distinctly
what she wants There is a class of goods
kept by grocers especially for those people
in the country who do not know what they
want. 1t is labeled "For country custom"
1t is cheap and!
Just as plantation housekeeper must be
a bit of a grocer, she must be bit Of a but
cher. On a plantation one depends for meat
upon her own flocks and herds Does she de-
sire beef? then XII COW; is it mutton at

woods are full of game; and vension and wild
turkeys have the variety. It results that q
quarter of beef is the usual division. Half q
sheep, half deer, quarter of beef-that

in the first place, to know how long meat
should be kept. We didn't; and never shah
forget the marvellous toughness and queer
flavor of the beef that we only kept three
days. A week is the shortest time that one
should keep beef in the cold season. I think,
too, it would pay any housekeeper on plan
tation to take a few lessons from butcher
about cutting up meat
How vivid, still, is the picture of the three
of us helplessly watching Henry, the man,
shifting the hind quarter of beef on the cy-
press stump which served us as a meat block,
in hopes that we may discover the teuder-

and Constance waves Mss Parl0a's neat da-
gram in the air. But somehow the diagram,
with its dotted lines, does not in the least re-
semble the unwieldly mass on the block If
there only were dotted lines. we might make
out as Henry says; but there are no dotted
lines. and we finally chop it up with the

The fillet was hopelessly lost; think most of
