Night Blindness.

Night blindness is rare condition
in which person toward evening finds
that objects are becoming less and less
distinct, and at last he is totally blind.
This may occur without previous warn
ing and cause great alarm, and next
morning he finds that his sight is re-
stored. This is repeated every night,
but at last the eyes become weak dur
ing the day also and suffer paralysis of
the optic nerve.
This strange afliction may be epi-
demic. 1t has attacked bodies of
troops exposed to great fatigue and
the glare of the sun 8 rays. If there
are no symptoms of disease within the
brain, recovery generally results by
protection of the eyes from the light
and entire repose. 1t is seldom met
with in this country except among the
sailors just returned from the tropical
regions. 1t is frequent among the ma
tives of some ports Of India, who at
tribute it, as our own sailors do, to
sleeping exposed to the moon-beams.
The more probable cause of the
affection is, however, exhaustion of
the power of the retina from overex-
citement or from excessive light, so
that it is rendered incapable of appre-
ciating the weaker stimulating action
of twilight or moonlight All that
suggests itself in the way of treatment
is to protect the eyes from strong
light during the day, and to prescribe
uuinine and nourishing mixed diet.

The Waif of Wounded Knee.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-T Those
who remember the terrible battle that
took place some four years ago be-
tween the Indians of the Pine Ridge
Agency and the United States regular
troops at the place known as Wounded
Knee may have forgotten that a girl
baby was found on the body Of her
mother four days after the fight.
That Indian baby is alive and well
and is now the adopted daughter Of
Gen. Colby, who took her under his
care as soon as she was found and
brought her to Ills wife. Big Foot,
chief of the Sioux, had about twenty
lodges gathered about him when the
outbreak began, but after terrible
fight in the winter not one of the
hundred and twenty warriors was left
to tell the tale !; and when the soldiers
went over the snow-covered field days
afterwards they found the dead body
of an Indian squaw and closely held
to her breast was tiny babe about Z
months old.
Zintka Lanuni, as she is called,
does not seem to be the "lost bird
that her name indicates, for when a
Times reporter called at the home of
Mrs. Colby few days ago she came
running in and began to speak in ex-
cellent English and show some queer
balls that she had gathered in her
rambles. She is large for her age and
seems to be achild of fine intelligence,
calling her adopted father and mother,
mother" and father" and evidently
not ever imagining that she is always
regarded with curious eyes hy all visi-
tors. She dresses in the same gowns
as the little American girls wear and
one would never notice her were it not
for the Indian cast Of the dark fea-
lures and the black, straight hair that
is combed back from the low brow.
Mrs. Colby, who has no children, is as
fond of the little waif as if it were her
own child, and she will be trained and
educated as well as any girl in Ameri-
ca.-Philadelphio Times.

Beglcy: "Plcase, mister, give
me dime. l am out of work and
cant keep the wolf from the door. .
Negley: "Here, man, is dollar; 60
out and buy cheap pistol and the
next time the wolf comes around shoot
the top of his head off. -
The following story is told in the
Epworth Era of the Rev. H. S. Thrall,
one Of the pioneers of Alethodism in
Texas: In company with a number
of itincrants who were on their way to
conference DR.. Thrall stopped to
spend the night with an old farmer.
It was the custom then to settle the
bill at night, so that they might rise
about 3 o'clock in the morning and
ride good way before breakfast, and
lie by in the heat Of the day. DR..
Thrall, acting as spokesman Of the
party, said to the old farmer after
supper: eve are a company of
Methodist preachers going to confer
ence. If you will get the family to.
gether We will have prayers with you. y
After prayers one by one settled his
bill. DR.. Thrall's turn came and he
asked for his bill. The old farmer
replied: "Well, pa'son, l charged
the rest 25 cents, but bein as you
prayed for us so good, | won't charge
YOU but 20 cents The brethren had
the laugh on DR.. Thrall.

New Agricultural Machines Called For

Secretary of Agriculture Morton de-
clares that the plow used by the Am
erican farmer is an enemy to fertility,
and that the invention Of some means
of stirring up the soil and subsoil is
very badly needed. He believes that
the common plow, when used in stone
less soil, packs every furrow it passes
over and renders it impervious to rain.
The secretary explains this fact as
follows:
"The draught Of the plow is down.
ward to such an extent that the full
force of the teams S strength is ex-
hausted in pressing the bottom of the
furrow into polished trough for the
condition of rain down the side hills.
1t is necessary to stir up the soil and
subsoil for 18 inches. If, forinstance,
it were possible to loosen the soil and
subsoil down for three feet all over
the State of Nebraska, we could then,
with an annual rainfall of 20 inches,
make abundant and profitable crops;
Until deep plowing-through subsoil
tillage-becomes universal in that
commonwealth, there will be, year in
and year out, no certainty Of remuner-
ative crops.
"Prof. Shaler, of Harvard, esti,
mates that the present inefficient and
i'll resulting methods Of plowing, es-
pecially upon undulating lands, cost
the agriculturists of the United States
25v square miles of soil each year by
erosion. Everywhere in Nebraska,
where torrential rainfalls are so fre-
quent, the side hills verify Prof.
Shaler's theory as to the annual waste
of washed lands.
"This is a matter of such vast i'm
portance, continued the secretary,
''that have asked Chancellor Can
field, of the University Of Nebraska,
to bring it before the 1900 students
in that institution and ask them to
try and think out new implement of
agriculture which shall supersede the
plow. 1t is subject upon which the
inventive minds Of educated farmers
should be concentrated. A proper So
luton of the difficulty will facilitate
subsoil tillage and at the same time
save both crops and the soil.
"In my judgment the coming i'm,
plement should spade the land and
turn it over, as a man who pushes the
spade With his foot into the ground,
and, drawing the spade out, turns the
soil upside down by the twist Of his
wrists. Possibly a rotary spader
could be invented. Possibly an i'm
plement consisting of large number
Of revolving knives could be made SO
that in passing over the surface Of the
field it should chop up the soil and
subsoil for two feet in such a manner
as to render the percolation of the
rainfall, down to the depth at which
the ground has been stirred, very easy
and perfect."- ."-Scientifc american.
