Under the low tarlff OF iS46 we could
not compete successfully With foreign
manufacturers. and our own factories
were closed; general business was post
poned, and multitudcs were supported
by charity.

by $2l. 100000. and the public debt in

The Paths We Make.

A footpath is the most human thing
in inanimate nature. Even as tho print
of his thumb reveals the old offender TO
the detectives, so the path tells you tho
sort of feet that wore it. Like tho hui
man nature that created it, it starts ont
to go straight when strength and deter
mination shape its course, and it COOS
crooked when weakness lays il out. I'm
til you begin TO study them you can
have no notion of the differences OF
character that exist among footpaths.
One line Of trodden earth seems 10 you
the same as another. But looBl Is the
path you arc walking on fairly straight
from point TO point, yet DETECTED TO
avoid short rises and falls. and la it
worn to grade-that is, does it pillow a
deep way through little humps and hill
locks, something as street is cut down
to grade? If you see this path before
you, you may be sure il is made by tho
heavy shuttle of worzingmen' feet. A
path that waivers from side TO side, es-
pecially if the turns be from one bush
to another, and that is only a light trail,
making an even line of wear over the
inequalities of the ground-that is

made by the business man--the man
who is anxious to get TO his work at one
end of the day and anxious TO get Co
his home mt the other-is generally a
good piece of engineering. This type of
man makes more paths in this country
than he does in any other. He carries
his intelligence and his energy into ev-
cry act of life, and even in the half un-
conscious business of making his own
private trail he generally manages To
find the line of least resistance in get
ting from one point to another. From

LATEST IN ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

1t was left for a native of Servia,
of all out of the way, half barbaric
countries, to give to mankind a gen
Jus who should make, next to Edi-
son, the greatest advances of this,
the nineteen century in the adoption
of electricity to the need Of man.
Nikola Tesla, the Servian American
who devised the rapidly alternating
current, is as much of a wizard as
Edison. By the alternating cur
rent is meant, as Tesla expressed
it, one that Clerks back and forth
an inconceivable number of times
to the second. "
The quick changing of the direc-
ton of the current produces sparks.
of light. The more tremendously
rapid the vibrations or alienation
are the most light will be produced.
That, in brief, is Tesla's idea of how
the light of the sun is produced
by inconceivable rapid vibrations in
a magnetic field. Tesla thinks or
knows he has found out Just how
many vibrations through the atmos-
phere gives us sunlight. He calcu-
lates them to be 500, 900, 900, 900, 600
a second. 1t is perhaps just as well
not to try to take in all that with
out practicing a little in your
thought. When Tesla can succeed
in getting machinery that will make
that many vibrations to the second,
he will reproduce the light of the
day. He believes he can get them
finally. Meantime he has formulat-
ed plan which will revolutionize
electric lighting as soon as we
know how to get the current cheap.
Iy. At the present 80 per cent of
the power is wasted in our crude
system of lighting, Tesla produces
a vacuum in glass tube then he
passes the alternating current with
immense rapidity through the tube.
The result is a radiant glow of light.
The whole tube becomes bright and
shining like the sun, This is the
light of the future. 1t will take
the place of the crude, unsightly
wires and pulps. 1t can be made
to grow in stars, circles, radiant
waves, splendid, dazzling flowers or
in any other shape taste may de-
wise, and the fixtures will be CON
cealed. A pillar, post or cor
nice may be made no give forth
streams of glorious light
Another fact in reference to Tes-
las rapid alternating current is
that it is not at all dangerous. The
inventor himself once allowed 25O,-
900 volts of it to pass through his
body in the presence of an audience
in PHILADELPHIA.

REMARKABLE CASE.
Sight Restored After Eight Years of
Blindness.

Aunt Polly" Higgs, near eighty
years of age, is visiting in the city,
with Mr.. Bryant and Ben Foreman.
When seventy years old, she lost
her sight from cataract, which de-
veloped in both eyes, and for the
past eight years has been totally
blind and entirely helpless.
"Aunt Polly" is well known to
most of our people, and is honored
and cherished by all the citizens of
Washington, Lewisville and sur
rounding country.
Most of the friends of her youth
await her on the other shore At
ter she lost her sight it looked al
most like an act of mercy if she,
100, could go. But, after years and
years of patient waiting, at the
suggestion of DR.. j. T. Rice, of
Doggy, with whom she lives, she
consented to have her eyes operat-
ed on to regain her sight.
With remarkable fortitude she
submitted to the operation, which
consisted in removing from the in
side of the eye the cataract, or
ems, the size of a large coffee grain.
She never finched from the knife,
and with unbounded pleasure dis
covered a few days later, when the
eye was unbandaged, that she could
see, The good old soul shouted for
Joy, and, happily for herself and
friends, new hopes and ambitions
arose. AS her sight improved,
which still grows better and better,
now two months since the opera
zion, she has regained her strength
and activity, and gets about the
house and helps herself as well as
the others.
At present "Aunt Polly" can
read, and is looking forward to the
day when she can thread needle and
sew. No one can be happier than
"Aunt Polly" and all her friends
rejoice with her,
The good results of the operation
are remarkable in one so old, and
creditable to one of our townsmen.
1t will be remembered that Glad
stone of England had a similar op-
Grafton performed this year, but
without much success.
"Aunt Polly's' sight was restor-
ed by DR., j. Brown, the Oculist of
this city, assisted by DR.. Rice of
Doggy.
"Aunt Polly" is certainly the
happiest citizen of Arkansas, and
thinks there is no one like Dr.
Brown who restored her sight.
