John Thomas Helsop, of Birmingham,
England, is lad whose powers of vision
are marvellous. He is known as "the
Lying microscope, on account of being
able to see the most minute objects clearly
defined, says the Springfield Republican,.
In 1873 or 1879 he was attacked with
some battling eye trouble, and came very
near losing his sight forever.
After the disease had reached its worst
there was an instant and startling change
for the better, which resulted in a COM
plete cure of all inflammation in an in
credibly short time. 1t was not cure,
however, that brought back the old eye
sight like that possessed by the average
genus homo. When it returned it was
with extraordinary increased powers of
vision. To John Thomas the most minute
plant louise was as large as rabbit, and
the mosquitoes bill as large as an axe
handle. He could see and describe dis
tant minute objects with startling clear.
ness and precision.
He was amazingly shocked upon re-
pairing to the well to get a cooling
draught to see the immense number of
hideous creatures that were floating,
lighting, and wriggling about in the
water. From that day to this water has
never passed the lips of John Thomas
Helsop. His drink consists of coffee, tea,
and milk. thoroughly boiled. The doc
tors say that the entire organism of the
eye has undergone structural change,
and that the cornea has become abnor-
mally enlarged.

such brethren and feel IL an honor to be-

In the days when n man was allowed
more than one wife, middle-aged bachelor,
who could be called neither young nor old,
whose hair was only just beginning to turn
gray must needs fall iu love with two women
at once and marry them both. The one was
young and blooming, and wished her hus-
band to appear as youthful as herself; the
other was somewhat more advanced in age,
and was anxious that her husband should
appear q suitable match for her. So while
the young one seized every opportunity of
pulling out the good mans gray hairs, the
older one was as industrious in plucking out
every black hair she could find. For awhile
the mon was highly gratifed by their atten-
ton and devotion, till he found one morning.
