CONCERNING CATARACT.
A Disease of the Eye Which Usually At
taclxs Elderly Persons Only.

A Disease of the Eye Which Usually At
tacks Elderly Persons Only.
The crystalline lens of the eye is sit.
uated just behind the pupil, and lies be,
tween two fluids, the aqueous in front
and the vitreous behind. It's object is
to focus the rays of light which pass
through the pupil upon the retina be-
hind, where they act upon the terminal
ends of the optic nerve, and thus give
vision. This lens seems to get it's sus-
tenance from +he fluids in which it is
immersed, and when disease of it's
structure occurs it probably arises from
some lack of proper nutrition from these
sources.
Perfect transparency of the Lens Is es.
sential to good vision. When any por-
ton of it becomes Opaque the entrance
of light is INSTRUCTED, or it passes
through in an irregular manner, and
loss of vision, more or less complete, re-
suits. The condition of Opaqueness con-
stituteS what is known as a cataract.
1t may affect only portion of the lens,
or the whole may be so dense as to pre-
vent the perception of any object,
though it can never of itself be so COM
plete as to shut off entirely the sensa-
ton of light
Cataract may be congenital, or it may
come on in youth or in adult life, but
by far the majority of cases occur in
persons over fifty years of age, in whom
it takes the name of senile cataract
Generally there is found some embar-
rassment in the use of the eyes for a
longer or shorter period before the
opacity is visible to the eye.
The cloudiness usually has definite
starting-point and from that place it
may progress until the whole lens is in
volved, or it may be arrested spontane-
ously in any part of its course. Such
cases of arrest have given rise to the be-
lief that certain nOstrums will prevent
the formation Of cataract or will re-
move it.
In reality no means is known of stay
ing or preventing it. The only hope
lies in removing the mechanical OBJ
struction by surgical methods.
The form of cataract which follows an
injury is explained by the fact that the
capsule which surrounds the lens is
ruptured, and portion of the fluid en-
tiers the lens and produces sodden con-
dition at one point, from which the dis
Indignation may continue.
There seems to be predisposition to
the formation of cataract in some people.
for in elderly persons, when one eye has
become affected. the other is very likely
to pass through the same experience
While it is best, In order to get the
most satisfactory result, to delay the
operation until the cataract is ripe"
that period being the time when it is
most easily removed, one should never
wait until the sight is entirely lost, for
there is danger that the process may go
So far as to render any operation entire
ly fruitless. -Youth's Companion.

A FRENCH ROMANCE.
The History of an Annuity That Reads
Like Medieval Legend.

The History of Annuity That Reads
Like Medieval Legend.
Quite romance in real life has been
related by the Able Martin, the parish
priest of Audes, in the Department of
the Allier, who was recently robbed of
e2, 400. The priest was lying asleep in
his room, when he suddenly felt him
self seized by strong hand and gagged,
while the point of sharp instrument
was pressed against his breast. A voice
said to him, If you stir you are dead
man. The Able lay still, and, after
short time, the midnight marauders
went away. He then rose, and found
that his money was gone, and that the
robbers had also been in his brothers.
room. This is the tragedy part of the
story, but the real romance comes in
about the money. which was the install
ment of an annuity enjoyed by the
priest since the year 1887. The history
of this annuity reads like medieval
legend. Once upon time, several wears

family which he had utterly dishonored
by his sentence to penal servitude for
grievous offences against the law. The
unknown begged of the Able to get him
into monastery, where he could live
and die in complete obscurity, ''the
world forgetting, by the world forgot"
Able Martin took pity on him, and
found him place as lay-brother in
Spanish monastery. A few years after
that the priest received letter from
notary informing him that he had been
appointed the universal legatee and
executor of a person who died in
monastic establishment in Spain, and
whose property in France was worth
several millions of francs. The Able,
armed with his papers, went off to the
family of the deceased monk, whose
brother, believing him to have died in
the hulks had inherited all the paternal
property. By an amicable arrangement
the Able cheerfully surrendered his
rights, and upon the condition of never
disclosing the name of the family of the
defunct monk, he was supplied with a
handsome annuity of go, 400. Of this
fact the robbers who broke into his
room were evidently aware. The ma

Or. TALMAoE's MOTHER.

The Famous ! reacher's Beautiful Pen
Portrait of Her Death.
never write or speak to woman but
my mind wanders off to one model-the
aged one, who twenty-four years ago we
put away for the resurrection.
About eighty years ago, and just be-
fore their marriage day, my father and
mother stood up in the old meeting
house at Somerville, n. j., and took
upon them the VOWS of the Christian.
Through long life of vicissitude my
mother lived harmlessly and usefully,
and came to her end in peace. No child
of want ever came to her door and was
turned away empty. No one in sorrow
came to her but was comfOrted. No one
asked her the way to be saved but she
pointed him to the cross. When the
angel of life came to neighbours dwell
ing she was there to rejoice at the start
ing of another immortal spirit. When
the angel of death came to that dwell
ing she was there to robe the departed
for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers in the absence of my
father, say: so Lord, ask not for my
children wealth or honor, but | do ask
that they may all be the subjects of Thy
comforting gracer' Her eleven children
brought into the kingdom of God, she
had but one more wish, and that was
that she might see her long absent mis-
siOnary son, and when the ship from
China anchored in New York harbor,
and the long absent one passed over the
threshold of his paternal home, she said:
Now, Lord. lettest thou Thy servant
depart in peace, for my eyes have seen
Thy salvation"
The prayer was soon anSWe red!
1t was an autumnal day when we
gathered from afar. and found only the
house from which the soul had fed
forever. She looked very natural. the
hands very much as when they were
employed in kindness for the children
Whatever else we forget, we never for
get the look of mothers hands. AS we
stood by the casket we could not help
but say: Doesn't she look beautifully
1t was a cloudless day when. with heavy
hearts, we carried her out to the last
resting place The withered leaves
crumbled under hoof and wheel as we
passed, and the sun shOne on the Rari-
