Struck Blind.

A special from Charlotte, n. c..
says: A singular calamity is report
ed from Steel Creek township, in
this county. Mrs. Margaret Miller,
an excellent lady Of that section, was
suddenly struck blind last week.
She was sitting in her room, when all
of sudden she discovered that she
was looking out of but one eye, just
as if she had closed the other one.
She knew such was not the case and
arose to leave the room. Hardly had
she done so when she realized that
the sight of the other was likewise
gone. She uttered cry of horror at
the idea of her great loss, and some
of her household rushed in. She was
led to seat and since that time has
been in total darkness. She expert
enced no pain whatever. Her blind
ness is due to paralysis OF the optic
nerve. Her eyesight is totally gone,
and she cannot even tell whether the
sun is shining or it is dark night.
A recent dispatch from Columbus,
Ohio, says The 10-year-old son of a
grain dealer Of this place was the vic
tim of a singular accident Yesterday af-
ternoon. The little fellow slipped
while trying to climb a tree, and fell
heavily to the ground. His mother
heard his cries, and running to him,
found him sitting up, able to move
his limbs, and apparently all right,
but the child kept repeating he could
not see. As his eyes were wide open,
however, Mrs. Williams attributed
their dazed appearance to the shock
he had received, and only sent for
doctor to give him something to quiet
his nerves.
By the time the physician reached
him he had in every way recovered
from the shock, excepting that he
still declared that he could not see at
all, though quite conscious of the SEN
sation of light. His eyes were exam
ined by the doctor who failed to find
any injury to them, and the only
thing discoverable of an unusual ma
ture was that no image could be
seen painted on the retina, either by
naked eyes or optical instruments.
The pupil is as clear and liquid as
ever, but fails entirely to reflect an
object. The boy complains of no
pain and seems quite sound and well,
but is wild with horror and grief.
The case has excited tremendous
interest among the medical men of
the city, as it is unique, and as no in
jury to the brain seems to have been
sustained they are at a loss to &C
count for the loss of sight. The boy
was within three feet of the ground
when he fell and the force Of the blow
was hardly sufficient to explain the
singular result.

Last week the city water works at
Brunswick, Ga, broke down, and the
Kennon Manufacturing Company, OF
Brunswick, to avoid a shut down in
case of another break at the works,
commenced digging large well. The
well was laid off ten by ten feet. 1t
was sunk to the depth of seven feet
when water was struck. The water
was noticed at once 10 be very warm.
As the we'll was dug deeper the water
became warmer until the men who
were at work in it were compelled to
leave. Capt. kennon and others went
to work to find the cause of the heat
ed water but failed. Great crowds go
to the we'll to see the boiling water.
Six hundred gallons are being pumped
daily but the water still boils. The
we'll is certainly a curiosity.

Household Hints.

A bruise may be hindered from dis
coloration either by the instant APP
plication of hot water or by using a
little dry starch or arrowroot merely
moistened with cold water and placed
on the injured part.
If the fishv taste in wild game is
Objectionable, it can be removed by
putting a small onion, cut fine, into
the water it is cooked in, or carrots,
if onions are not liked.
Never use the first water that comes
from pump or hydrant it has been
in lead or iron pipe all night, and is
not healthful.
Rub lamp chimneys with newspa-
per on which has been poured lit
tie kerosene. This will make them
much clearer than if soap is used they
will also be less liable to crack.
There should always be plenty Of
good kitchen aprons, which protect
the dresses so much. Long sleeved
and high-necked sack aprons for chill
dren should be kept on them while at
play or at the table.
The old-fashioned idea that burn
ing sulphur is disinfectant is pro
nounced by physicians of the present
day to apply only to the rooms and
closets of house, but will not answer
for clothing and blankets. which
should be washed in solution of car
bolic acid and left in the air for sew
eral days.
When the glass of chandeliers have
become smoked and grirny, soak them
in hot water to which little sal soda
has been added. Then put some am-
monia into hot water, enter the globes,
and scrub briskly with stiff brush.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

EIoped with His Mother-in-law.

The story Of a queer elopement
comes from Sullivan county, Pa.
Pounce Bailey, a lumberlnan and a
man sixty-five years old, whose wife
died last winter, fell in love a few
weeks ago With a comely young Ger
man girl who was working as a do
nestle for a farmer who lived near
Bailey's. The girl had recently ar
rived in this country, and was eight
cen years old. Pounce was so ardent
in his wooing that he won the girl
and they were married last month.
The girls mother, Mrs. Katherine
Kline, was at the time acting as
housekeeper for German in Potter
county. She knew nothing OF her
daughters marriage until a week or
ten days ago, when she was informed
of the fact by a letter from the girl.
Mrs. Kline at once went to see about
it. When she arrived at her son-in-
laws house she seemed pleased with
Bailey, and the marriage was APP
proved of by her.
Mrs. Kline is described as an elderly
woman, very fleshy, and by no means
prepossessing in appearance. For all
that. she had not been in her son-in-
laws house two days before she had
gained his regard to such degree
that her daughter was forced to pro-
test against the conduct of her hus-
band and her mother. They ignored
her protests, and she one day last
week told the old lady that she must
leave the house. Mrs Kline did so
Friday, but she took her daughters
husband with her, or, at least, he fol-
lowed her as soon as he heard that
she was gone The pair are now to-
gether in Potter county. Mrs. Kline
cannot speak any English, and Bailey
knows no German. The deserted bride
is said to have taken the affair phil
osophically, and has disposed of her
husbands personal property and
gone back to work at the farmers
where Bailey got acquainted with her.

THE MILK TRADE.
Why 1t Should BE Fostered by Farmers
Waste in Butter Making.

Waste in ter-Maktng.
The price for butter from small dali
ries frequently is 10 cents pound for
frst-class article. II we figure the
cost of packages and salt only, it leaves
barely IA cents pound. Any intelli-
gent dairyman will tell you that 16
quarts OF milk from the general aver
age of cows is Low estimate for a
pound of butter. Some high-bred
cows might possibly, with best care,
give record OF a pound Of butter from
quarts Of milk. Then, again, one
will find that it will take "a quarts for
q pound of butter for every one Of 8
quarts To sum the matter up: milk
tor butter (when the latter sells for ID
cents a pound) is worth less than l
cent quart. In small villages, or the
country, where, in a great many
cases, one COW is kept and this
for the purpose of milk only for home
use, it would pay far better to
sell what could be spared for 2
cents quart and buy butter to use in
the family. Some are charging the
exorbitant price of 4 cents, and in
many cases even cents per quart, for
milk at home. This is at the rate Of
from 80 cents to 90 cents for a pound
of butter, if the milk were used for
that purpose. At 2 cents a quart, the
seller would make living profit, even
if only part were sold and the rest
used for butter. But at cents milk
would become a staple article OF food
for young and old. and those who kept
but one COW would meet with ready
demand, which would be far better
than placing the price so high that
milk becomes luxury. What a pity
that those unable 10 keep a cow
through lack of accommodations are
obliged to 60 without one Of the best
articles OF food known, and from the
cause in a great many cases of the in
justice OF others, and, withal, to the
consequent loss to seller, as well as to
buyer.-N. Y. Tribune.
