DANGERS OF CHILDHOOD.
How Little Ones Are Constantly Sub
jected to the Risk of Death.

Most of us have marveled at times that
the steps Of childhood travel along the
pathway of life as safely as the do, says
The London Lancet. Their own inherent
and abundant heedlessneSs and the more
culpable uncOncern OF busy or careless pa
rents render their escape among the acct
dents OF everyday experience little less
than miraculous Their trivial Guties,
their pastimes, their very toys, may, and
do become the occasions Of injury. In an
instance recently published some children
were amusing themselves with a model
ST cam engine; while thus occupied one OF
them was burned to death.
The letter Of a correspondent suggests
another and more subtle source Of mis-
chief. Walking in the street he saw n
street vender Offering for sale toy bagpipeS,
which he tested in turn by blowing in the
usual way with his mouth. Naturally
enough the suggestion presented itself as
to the possible consequence were any OF the
child public to purchase and use, as doubt
less they did. the toys inflated with such
questionable breath, and perhaps wet with
contagious moisture from Questionable lips.

to cleanse Il breath residue, and an in
fected mouthpiece has before now been the
origin of grave constitutional trouble We
might, however, multiply cases of a like
or of different kinds. each illustrating the
dren, thus surrounded by little suspected
pitfalls.
we do not forget that busy people cannot
be constantly looking after their juvenile
offspring. Nevertheless, we are certain that
more careful supervision is possible. Were
children run over, burned, drowned, or
otherwise lost TO their homes, for no other
reason but that they were left to their own
Incapable guidance.

A QUEER AFFLICTION.
a Little New York Girl becomes Blind
Whenever She Eats Sweets.

Emma Zimn erman, four-year-Old girl
of Bath Beach, which is now a part of the
CITY of Brooklyn, has one Of the strangest
Affections on record. The little one cannot
eat anything sweet like a piece of candy,
or pie or fruit, without becoming blind for
three days.
Her remarkable complaint, il is said,
has so far bafiled the skill OF the physi-
clans She is now under the care of a New
York specialist, but he has not been able
as yet to give her any relief.
While playing with some Of her little
piece of canCy, and a result a spell Of
blindness was brought on, from which she
has not fully recovered. 1t was about a
wear ago that Emmas disease first mani
Tested itself. She became suddenly blind.
and then, after three days, as mysteriousy
recovered her sight.
Over her eyes came a filmy white cover
ing that gradually increased in thickness
until il produced total blindness, after
which it began to grow more transparent
and finally went away.
After the girl had been afflicted with sew
eral of these spells a specialist was en-
gagged. He was at first utterly at a loss to
account for the disappearance Of sight, but
by a series of experiments with food he
demonstrated that sweetmeatS were the ex-
citing cause of the blindness.
Since then, although great care is exer-
cised. Emma once in a while forgets the
dire results that follow the eating of for
hidden dainties. and pays the penalty OF
her rash thoughtlessness by losing her
sight for seventy-two hours.-N. Y. Times

COMMERCIAL HERO.
Working DOOrkeepcr in the Es-
tabIishment He Formerly Owned.

There are some heroes beside those
who faced guns, and Chicago has some
strange unwritten Stories" was the way
a retrospective man about town ex-
pressed it to a Chicago Herald reporter.
We were out for a morning walk and
had stopped in front of a great store
house.
Il want you to go into this house with
me-" he continued, and we turned in.
An elderly man opened the door for US
and closed ii. There was something in
his manner and face that attracted at
tentlon. He was a type of that school
os stateliness Of which you have heard,
but whose pupils, it must be admitted,
are becoming fewer every day. This is
not written from any pessimistic point OF
view. There was nothing IN the elderly
mans manner to indicate that the whirli-
gig OF time had played any pranks with
him His face was full Of content and his
voice was CHEEKY enough 10 warm the
cookies of the heart.
At one time, so the story runs he was
the president of this company. He was
its founder. He gave it the send-off which
had made it conspicuous in the CONNER
cial world. Business reverses, in spite Of
his ability. crippled him, and he lost not
meaphorically, but literally, every dollar
he had. He passed out of the concern.
He applied for the place of dOor<eeper of
the house he founded, and il was given
him, and there he stands every business
day during the business hours opening the
door to all corners as graciOusly as he
used to preside in the Office. No one has
the key to the side door of this mans
thoughts, but to all corners he faces his
misfortunes with a philosophy which
prompts one to lift ones hat to it.
The present manager of the house is
a young man who was employed in the
concern as an office boy by the elderly
gentleman now at the door. And the
young manager always lifts his hat TO
his former master as he enters and
leaves An equipage that is noticeable
brings the young manager to the door
every morning and calls for him in the
afternoon. The former head of the con-
