He Being a Paper-Hanger, However.
They suit Him TO t.
A remarkable case OF visual deform-
ity, which has recently been brought
to notice. is perplexing. the ocullsts Of
Washington and Baltimore. writes the
correspondent OF the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. II is said TO be with
out a parallel in this country, so far as
is known. and perhaps in the world.
The subject Is Thomas Webster OF this
city, whose eyes are so peculiarly
formed that they baffle all rules OF eN-
preston and conduct themselves as
no well-regulated optics should. The
idiosyncrasies OF Mr. Webster's eyes
consist In the fact that the pupil. in
stead OF being in its normal place In
the eyeball, is In the lower portion, and
in shape is OF oblong form, extending
downward toward the white OF the eye
ball. The result OF this eccentric form
alton is that the subject, instead OF
looking directly ahead. as do those
with ordinary everyday eyes, has his
angle OF vision fixed about forty de-
grees from a true tangent Now. this
would strike most people as being a
most distressing lnhrmlty. but In the
case OF Mr.. Webster. professionally
speaking. it Is In the nature Of a bless
ing. Mr.. Webster Is a paper hanger.
and this popularity. In his business. Is
Of great assistance TO him. Most pa
per-hangers strain their necks In order
to keep their eyes on their work. which
in most cases Is above them. Not so
with Mr.. Webster. He,ls always look
ing upward, while apparently looking
in front Of him. and hence has a clear
view Of the wall without stralning his
eyes. the angle OF vision extending
several feet above him. Mr.. Webster
inherited this popularity In his sight
from his father. Charles w. Webster.
of this city. He had a great deal Of
trouble in persuadlng the ocullsts
whom he consulted that his eyes were
natural. and that their popularity was
not the result OF disease. The best
specialists we're disposed 10 think that
TINS pecullhrtty was the result OF an
operation. but when they examined the
eyes they found that the sight came
from the eyes at an angle Of forty-fivs
degrees. looking upward instead Of d.
rectly ahead. They were then forced
to admit the verify OF the freak which
nature had taken in the growth OF this
organ. Mr.. Webster Is the father OF
nine children. They are handsome boys
and girls. whose eyes are perfect in
formation. The peculiar eyes OF the
Webster family will probably not visit
the children Of the present member.
whose eyes certainly form a mystery
to oculists and present a strange sight
to all who happen to meet their pos

unsatisfactory state. there being only

Some of the escapes which happen
TO those who suffer shipwreck are al
most beyond the bounds Of credibility
A sailing vessel which was making for
Halifax, n. s., encountered a heavy
gale in the Bay of Fundy, and struck
on rock. Heavy seas washed over the
boat, and it was evident she would not
last long. To attempt TO swim ashore
was impossible. and all the boats were
lost. BY a lucky chance the captain
had a fine retriever on board. and, as
a last resource. a thin line was attached
to his collar and he was directed to
swim ashore. The noble animal seemed.
by almost human understanding, TO
comprehend what was required of him,
and plunged from the deck into the
raging waters. For a time. which
seemed almost an eternity, the unfortu-
nate crew awaited the result. No sign
of the dog could be seen, but every now
and then faint tug would be felt at
the line. Whether the animal was reach
ing the shore, or being tossed about
by the waves, was only a surmise. At
last a decided pull was given TO the
cord, and a faint cheer broke from the
men as they realized the dog had land
ed. A cable was attached to the line
and hauled ashore. and over this the
whole crew, with one exception, safely
passed, albeit in a much exhausted and
satured condition.

three years there had been trouble in
the family over religion. Clearwater
claims that his wife, after becoming a
Seyenth-Day Adventist, left him. An
elder and preacher in the church named
Saunders, 1t is claimed, told her II was

he was not believer. Last May. after
a camp meeting excitement at Oakland,
Mrs. Clearwater left her husband and
went to Los Angeles.

A party is searching the mountains
above Dunbar, Pa, says a Uniontown
dispatch of recent date. for two children
who have been lost in the forest. Two
daughters of Benton Beal and Nicholas
Downs, both about six years old, living
at the foot of the mountain back OF
Dunbar Furnace. together with an older
girl, visited a friend up the mountain
side the other afternoon. The little ones
strayed of. and were not missed until
the older girl was ready to start home
in the evening. It was then thought they
had gone home. When the girl found
they were not there, however. she was
too much frightened to tell her parents
what was wrong, and they only forced
the startling truth from her late at
night. A searching party hunted for the
children all night and they found their
footprints in the snow, indicating that
they were heading toward a precipice
1t is feared the children fell over the
precipice during their wanderings in the
dark. When last heard from the search
ers had not found the children.

One Of the most miraculous escapes
from death on record is that of police
man who entered house in pursuit OF
a burglar. The room in which the
apostle of probation had hidden was
quite dark, and, in entering, the con-
stable carelessly turned on his lantern.
The burglar fired, and the next moment
the officer of the law felt a sharp
singing sensation at his breast. He
grappled with his opponent. and ulti-
mately affected his arrest. His dismay
was considerable, on submitting him
self to the divisional surgeon who was
at the station. to find his shirt and
tunic saturated with blood. He soon
had cause to congratulate himself
however, when the surgeon told him
that the bullet had struck his ribs and
flown off at a tangent, merely ploughing
a furrow in the flesh. Had the revolver
been fired at any other angle the bullet
would have penetrated his lungs, and
he would probably have bled to death.

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins 70
wane, and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint OF all.
The reason for this condition Is
found Ia the deficient quality Of the
blood. During the winter, owing TO
various causes. the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality, Consequently,
rs soon as the bracing effect OF cold
air is lost, there is langour and lack Of
energy. The cure will be found Ia
purifying and enriching the blood.

and best spring medicine, because il is

A difficult argument for the anti-cor-
set advocate to controvert is to be found
in the following incident recorded In
the newspapers. A married man was
inspecting a revolver which had been
intrusted to his care by a friend, and
his wife was looking on. Suddenly the
weapon went off, and the horror-struck
husband beheld his wife on the floor
Naturally his first thought was that he
had been the unhappy cause Of her
death, but he discovered that the bullet
had struck one of the steels Of which
the corset was composed. and glanced
off, infiicting no worse damage than a
severe fright.
