New Method Of Washing.

The i'll effects of soda on linen make
interesting a knowledge of a mode OF
washing said to be in favor in Ger
many and Belgium, where the excel
lence Of laundresses Is prOverbiai.
The operation consists in dissolving
two pounds of soap in about three
gallons of water as hot as the hand
can bear, and adding to this one
tablespoonful Of turpentine and three
OF LIQUID ammonia. The mixture
must then be well stirred, and the
linen STEPPED In it for two or three
hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly
Theoretically aspOssible. The clothes
are afterward washed out and rinsed
In the usual way. The soap and
water may be reheated and used q
second time, but In that case half a
tablespoonful of turpentine and one
ofammonia must be added. The pro-
cess Is said to cause a great economy

1t is said that the operation of trans
planting a clear piece of a rabbits
cOrnea into the blind eye of a patient,
performed ten days ago at the Presby-
terrain Eye and Ear Charity hospital, of
Baltimore, has proved a success. At the
end of a week the bandages were re
moved and the eye exposed to the light.
The piece of the rabbits cOrnea was
completely united to the human eve
and had grown to the edge Of the hole
made IN the blind eye opposite the
pupil The clear graft had become
cloudy IN the process Of uniting to the
human eye. Already, however, 1t has
begun to clear up, and the man is be
ginning to enjoy the privilege of seeing.
This he has not done for three years,

Strange Life OF the Old Hermet of tho
..DcYiE6 Rifc.v

LANDER, Wyo, Feb. 20-[Correspondence
of the BEE. Ten years since there appeared
in this section Jew named Abraham Solo
mons, who has since become famous in the
annals of the Lander valleys and the Wind
mountains.
Towering above the long abandoned but
traditionally rich gold diggings of the
'Devirs Bite is Spruce peak. Half way up
one of the steep sides of this lofty peak, hid
den in dense forest Of spruce timber is an
immense cave,or rather grotto-for it is more
wide than deep. In this grotto, Abraham
Solomons, self-withdrawn from his kind,
with no companionshp but the birds of the
air the beasts of the mountain and nature in
her most unbending and savage aspect ten
years ago made his home, and in that homo
he has since dwelt.
When Solomons first entered INTO posses.
sion of his singular and isolated habi.
tation, he frequently appeared In the settle
ments of the Lander valley, and regularly
called for the numerous letters of which he
was in receipt from various eastern points,
notably New York City.
AS time passed on this correspondence
gradually fell or, and with its final cessation
there ceased also the pilgrimages of Solo!
mons to frontier civilization, and now for
the past seven years the solitary of Spruce
Peak has been stranger to all that Ia
human, except an occasional visit from wan
ucTHiR anu
SolOmons is probably man of sixty years
of age, though with his long and tangled iron
gray hair and beard, and the dress through-
out of the skins of wild beasts, he bears little
resemblance to man of any kind. This
singular being has not tasted bread for long
years. depending entirely for sustenance
upon the flesh of mountain game and tho
pulse of mountain berries He carries no
arms, offensive or defensive, except sling,
but with this he is as expert
as was David of old, and the animal finding
itself with the range of this sling is as surely
doomed as though it stood as a target for tho
most unerring hunters rifle of the mountains,
Custom and necessity have also made SolON
mons an adept in the minor branches of
woodcraft, and the snares spread and traps
set by this mountain hermit truely fail Of
their prey.
The most popular local theory regarding
the singular life led by Abraham Solomons
is that he is familiar with hidden and rich
placers of the deserted diggings OF the "Dey-
lis Bite, and that during all Of these lonely
years he has amassed gold untold. The cx-
PLANTATION is fascinating and possible.

Little Josef HOfmann to Play No More
For Some Years,

New York, Feb. 26.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE. The case of Josef Hoffman,,
is exciting good deal of interest and opin-
ions are divided as to the justice of Herr
Casimer Hofmann's action in suddenly with
drawing his son from the concert stage Mr..
and Mrs. Hofmann are unquestionably
alarmed about the boys health, and they
have some reason to be- DIR. Shrady's COM
ments on the boys state caused his parents
to believe that further appearance would
lead to a serious illness. Mr.. Hoffman, is
firm in his decision that the boy shall not
play any more for some years. He wishes to
take his gifted child back to Europe as soon
as possible and nov have him appear in public
again before he is fifteen years of age.
He believes his son is a genius and that his
own duty is to foster the boys gifts and let
nothing stand in the way of their full devel-
opment. Josef himself appears to be tired,
and declared that he does not want to play
and~vill not be forced to. The trouble from
which he is suffering, and which gives evil
dence of nervous unsettlement, made it's ap-
pearance some time ago and was detected by
his mother The father at first deemed it OF
no consequence, but subsequently, when it
grew worse and the mothers fears increased,
Mr. Hofmann, without consulting anyone,
wrote his letter to Mr.. Abbey.
