jected with Koch's lymph, but the
remedy, instead of producing favorable
results, apparently had the contrary
effect. Coroner Langsdale, thinking
that the use of the lymph might have
hastened ELS death had a careful
microscopic examination made of the
lungs. There was nothing in the con-

daughter and youngest child of Calvin and
Mary Brown.

college six years, and during five of these
years rected to ME such studies as came in

to say that in all that time l never had
occasion to reprove him. He was uni
formly respectful and courteous to teachers

quired an accurate knowledge of the
branches pursued by him. He graduated

90 theticsIly, that he was a very pleasant
speaker, and possessed considerable talent
for debating. In the autumn of 1889 he
went to Ann Arbor University and began
the study OF law, and was making excellent
m progress. But alas, for human hopes and
plans, that fell destroyer, consumption,
marked him as a victim. On his return
w home in June 1890, it was believed by his
physicians that his recovery was very
90 doubtful. Though loving parents and
friends did all for him that could be done,
M he gradually but surely declined till the
end came. He died with the christians
hope of a blissful immortality in the home
prepared by the Savior for him and all that

Wonderful Capabilities of the Blind

Facial perception is the name given to
the unclassified sense of the blind man,
who by some singular instinct can tell
when he is opposite an1object, and whether
it is tail or short, slender or bulky. A re-
cent writer on the subject makes the start
ling declaration that the sightless man can
also determine whether the object is soli-
tary or continuous, whether, for example,
it is a close fence or an open one, and some
times whether a woodenfence, a stone wall
or a hedge. None Of the five senses has
anything to do with this perceptive power,
but the impressions are made on the skin
of the face, and by it transmitted to the
brain. The presence of fog interferes with
facial perception and makes the impress
sions faint and untru5tworthy, but dark
ness is no impediment.1 A noise which de
tracts the attention interferes with the
impressions. In passing along the street
he can distinguish shops from private
houses, doors from windows, and whether
the windows consist of number of panes
or a single sheet of glass.

just removed from the scene of his lugu-

been married so often that he did not know
the exact number of his progeny. His
eldest son, who is also in the employ of the

that he frequently slept in one of the dis

order to save himself the trouble of eli NIB

The Lad, the Nickle and the Slot

The nickle with string to it is not a
swindling device, at least according to the
opinion of an Iowa judge, who had before
him recently an ingenious youth charged
with feloniously working" a machine
which dispensed cigar each time a five
cent piece was dropped in the slot. The
lad had thread tied to his nickle, and
kept dropping it in and pulling it out till
he got all the cigars. The judge held that
the accused had committed neither burg
larry, larceny, nor robbery, nor even OBJ
tanned property under false pretenses. He
had merely done what the inscription ON
the machine told him to do-dropped a
nickle in the slot-and had kept on doing
it. Nothing was said about leaving the
coin where it was dropped.

razor. presumably just after securing pos

makers names had been cut from the hat
