CURE FOR BLINDNESS.
The Thesis System of Puneturing the
Skin Remedy.
Nav York


Skin Remedy.
New York Advertise
Thomas T. Hayden, who. until he was
stricken blind a few years ago was one of
the best-known amateur actors in Brook
Ign, has placed himself under the care Of
Augustus Thesis. who promises to cure him
of bis affection in years time.
Mr.. Thesis bases his practice in all cases
Of blindness on the theory that the remedial
agent should be brought into close contact
with the blood vessels. In order to effect
this he uses steel wire brush containing 80
wires, which he places in contact with the
skin, and then by means of spring drives
them in the flesh for an eighth of an inch or
more, leaving SO distinct punctures in the
skin. Into these punctures he rubs an oil
which purifies the blood, but which, coming
into contact with the flesh, causes great pain
for few moments.
Mr.. Hayden says that the doctor has
made two applications of his treatment In
one case he applied his brush 424 times,
leaving, therefore, about 14,000 punctures.
On his second visit the dose was increased
to some 22,011 pulctures, making in all
over $4,000 minute punctures which
cover his skin from head to foot
He says he has suffered greatly. not so
much from the pricking as from the rub
bing of the oil into the skin, which is
blstered by the operation. But he can al
ready notice wonderful improvement in the
tone af his system. He declares 1t will be
some time before he can expect to have his
sight even partially restored, but he Is GER
tain the results upon his blood and general
system are most decided. In three months,
DIR. Thesis assures him. he will be
able to distinguish forms, in six months to
recognize friends, while at the end of the
year recovery will be practically complete.

Herbage of the Great African Desert In

Fortnighty Review.
In the spring of the year, when rain has
fallen for two months, the Karoo is flower
garden. As far as the eye can reach stretch
blotches of white and yellow and pink fig
flowers. Every foot of Karoo sand is broken
up by small Towering lilies and wax fiow-
ers. In space few feet square you may
sometimes gather 80 kinds. In the crevices
of the rocks little, hard-leaved Towering air
plants are growing. At the end of two
months the bloom is over. the bulbs have
died back into the ground by millions. the
fig blossoms are withered, the Karoo as
sumes the red and brown tints which it
wears all the rest of the year. Sometimes
there is no spring. At intervals of a few
years great droughts occur, when no rain
falls.
For 10 or Is months the sky is cloudless
The kar0o bushes drop their leaves and are
dry, wlthered stalks, the fountains fail and
the dams are foOred with dry, baked mud,
which splits up into little squares, and the
sheep and goats die by thousands and the
KarOo is a desert 1t Is to provide for these
long rainless periods that all the plant life
in the KarOo is modified. Nothing that
cannot retain life habtualy for six months,
and at need for twice that time, without
rain can exist here.
The KaroO bush Itself provides against
drought by roots of enormous length,
stretching underground 10 a depth Of many
feet. AT the end of a 10 months drought,
when the earth is baked brick-dust for two
feet from the surface, if you break the dried
stalk of a Karoo bush three inches high,

A RED. WHITE AND BLUE HORSE.

Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Ambrose Jollife. the Hestonyille livery
stable keeper, has what is probably tue
most remarkable horse in the United States,
and his one sorrow is that the Park Com
missioners will not permit the animal to be
driven through their beautiful domain. The
horse Is a mddle-aged, well-proportioned
Kentucky gelding, about eight years old.
and once upon a time was as white as a
snowdrift at the North Pole.
Two years ago a young medical student,
who was studying ar the University OF
Pennsylvania, and boarded at Mr.. JOIlife'S
residence, suggested that in honor of the
Fourth OF July, Dashaway tine gelding'S
name) be decorated in the national colors.
He told Mr.. Jollife that he had two harm
less dyes which would soon fade out and
pointed out what unique and sensational
horse Dashaway could lie transformed
into by an artistic use of the dyes. AS
Mr.. Jollife was agreeable, the student
boiled his dyes and with a large brush
stained the horses head. neck and forelegs
a bright crimson red; the barrel was left
white, and the TANKS and hind legs were
stained brilliant blue. The effect was So
exQuistely beautiful that Mr.. Jollife and
his family drove about the vicinity of Hes
tonville every afternoon showing Dashaway
to their friends, and, save for the fact that
many of the horses that they met tried
with more or less success to run away when
the red-white- and blue equine met their
affrighted gaze, the cup of the Jollife'S fam
lily happiness would have been filed to the
bTim. The excitement in the park was SO
great that strict orders were given TO the
guards to keep the patriotic horse out Of the
great pleasure ground.
Dashaway has been freshly dyed twice
since his original decoration, and the Hes
tonville horses have now grown accustomed
to his spectacular appearance. But life Is
not what It should be for Mr. Jollife on
account of the Park Commissioners rule
barring Dashaway from the privileges of
their domain.

EDUCATOR RUSSIA.
Rapid Progress Being Mnds-Unfyersf-
ties Crowded With Students.
New York Sun


Eighty years ago strong inducements
had TO be held out to young men to get them
to enter the Russian universities. Now the
elassrooms are packed to degree Injurious
to health. In CharkoY University in 1890 the
lecture-halls were entirely inadequate TO
the throngs of students. The professor of
physics had 500 students although he had
only room for 40. and the professor of
chemistry, who had only seats for 10,
mad 40 applications for permission to
study under him. In the five chief uni
VefsltleS there are now over 5000 students
Ibus 81. Petersburg in 1891 had 2OS7;
Moscow, the year before. 3i73; while In 1889
Kiey, Warsaw and Kazan had respectively
30SS, 1151 and 765. From material point of
view the situation of the great majority of
the Russian students is not enviabIe. BY
far the larger proportion of them are sons
OF officers whose pay is small and whose
life is continuous struggle against want;
about one-third are children Of merchants
and shopkeepers. Out of 1000 in ST. Peters
burg and Key 80 belong to the peasant
ciass. The Jews are lighted to per cent
OF the total number.
1t appears that the minimum sum re-
CURED for the maintenance of a student at
Russian university is 375 rubles. Assum-
Ing tor moment that ruble is worth 90
cents in gold. this would be equivalent to
Slo7 90. Three Or four students often &C.
cnpy the same room, each paying u rubles
per month Tor his corner. Cases have been
known where students have had only cents
day to buy food. OF course, under such
circumstances, the purchase Of books is i'm
possible. According TO the Scottish Review,
however, a great deal of credit is due
to the Government for the assistance
1t affords. In 1877 no less than 80 per cent
OF the students were in one form or another
aided by the state. In the accounts of the
University Of Moscow for 1891 the sum of
1900 rubles is credited to stipenda or ex-
hIbitIons, varying from 200 to GOO rubles
year, and distributed among upward of 400
students. Moreover, between 600 and 200
students had their fees remitted. In Kiev,
also, about third of the whole number
were excused from the payment Of fees.
with such facts before US, it cannot be
alleged that the material welfare of the
undergraduates Of Russian universities is
neglected by the Car. On the other hand,
we should not omit to mark great def
cheney in the Russian university, viz: the
absence OF any clubs, such as are found in
Germany, where opportunities might
be given to the students for meet
ing together in a social way and
where esprit de corps might be fostered.
The Russian Government, fearful of plots
has always dlscOuntenanced any such feel
ing on the part of students, and has inYaTi-
ably rejected petitions to tolerate under
graduate clubs. At present the university
is little more to the Russian than a series of
lecture halls, which he enters three or four
times day TO spend an hour or two in
them, and what makes his college life still
less attractive. there is apt to exist between
professor and student an antagoniSm which
at times goes the length of hatred.

The Migratory Instinct.
Boston Advertiser.

The migration of birds is due to instinct.
But this instinct may be easily overcome and
suppressed. On the roof of the city hall in
Donawoerth. Bavaria, couple of storks
have nest which they have not left for
three years. The first time they remained
because there was a young bird too weak to
fly south. The parents were not willing TO
leave their little one and stopped to feed it.
They liked the winter and have stayed in
their nest ever since. having reared young
every year, all of whom left when the cold
season came and the rest of the storks de-
parted for the south. But the old couple
remain and do not seem to have any worse
health for being exposed to the cold
northerly winters on the high housetop.
