Saved Her Sight
Another Wonder Performed by
Hoods saFsaparlIIa.

any little girl Hazel is now four years
old. Two years ago she had the grip. After
recovery her eyes grew infiamed and sup
tursted. For over months she had to
have her eyes bandaged and stay in dark
room. The family doctor and an oculist
did everything possible. She did not i'm
prove and even grew worse. At last AFTER
six months he gave Us the discouraging
opinion that the cornes OF one eye was de-
stroyed
and Sight Entirely Gone.
That it was doubtful if she would ever be
able to see any with the other, as the sight
was rapidly being destroyed in that also.

Describing visit to the Now York
Assay Office the journal says: In two
furnaces ut this visit nearly $780, 900

for the meters TO ladle it out aud pour

four furnaces, wcro S110,00 in silver

The patriarch of this department is
Hartman Cooper. man about sixty
years of age, with full gray beard
and straggly gray hair. For thirty
years Mr.. Cooper has been in the gold
and silver melting business for the
Government. He is generally recog-
nized rs tho clcvcrest man in the pro.
| fcssion.
Tho boss meltcr has five assistants,
all Of whom have been with him for
years.
AT the time this visit was paid nll
was i'll apparent confusion. Workmen
were rushing hither and thither. A
pot containing $3.50, 900 in liquid gold
was soon TO be tipped and tho yellow
metal ladled ont iuto moulds, each OF

pounds.
Suddenly Cooper gave the word.
There was IL flash of light and the visi-
tors were looking into sccthing caul-
dron of burning gold.
Cooper and his first assistant, Amber.
son, took up their ladies'. These in
struments are of the finest tempered
metal. Tho "cup" i'll which tho 8 old

weigh from fifteen to thirty pounds,

Hartman dipped his ladlc into tho
glittering pond of fire. He filled it to

Protection in Italy.

The New York Press is rejoicing be-
cause Italy is extending hor protective
system to include raw cotton. The
Press says that Southern Italy has for
years produced cotton, but not in
quantities sufficient to supply tho
Italian cotton factories. With tho new
duty of two cents per pound tho Press
thinks that Italy can supply her owa
cotton mills, and perhaps detain in
Italy "a class of immigrants which are
deemed least desirable here"
Italy is, perhaps, tho most protected
country on the globe. Not only is tIsh
country rs IL whole we'll protectdl
from the pauper labor products OF
France, England and America, but her
provinces, and even her cities, are
protected from each other by octroi
taxes-substantia tariff duties leyiol
on goods imported into one province
from another. If there is any virtue
III protection" Italy ought to BIO filled
with happyan prosperous homes. In.
stead it contains larger percentag,
OF wretched, poverty stricken excuses
for homes thnn. any other country, ms
far advanced in civilization. Farming
ceased to pay many years ago, and
large portion OF the tillable districts
are now untitled Both farmers and
laborers have been emigrating as fast
ms they could obtain funds to pay their
passage to other countries. And now
cotton goods, which have formerly
been cheap and have been worn Iargely
by oil Italians who coulil a:for,l to
wear clothing at all, arc to be made

Birds That Love Fincry.

In order to investigate the migra-
tory habits OF birds, some time in ths
fall two years ago young woman, of
Fordyce, Ark. secured fine Balti.
more oriole. She tied bit of red silk
around his leg, turning him loose in
time to wing his flight along with his
companions.
Last April the bird reappcared,
bringing with him IL mate having n bit
OF blue ribbon tied around her leg.
The pair took up their abode in big
oak tree, soon swinging n nest and
bringing forth brood. The lady
watched the movements of the berib-
boned couple very eagerly, nnl whas
was her nstonishment one day, soon
after they left tho nest, to behold til,
young birds all strung out i'll line on
limb, while the parent birds, with
dett beaks and feet, tied bit OF
bright cloth about the leg of each.
Tho ingenuity of tho oriolc is we'll
known, and it is probable that thu
first bird became SO pleased with his
decoration that he tied IL blue ribbon
to the leg of his mate, and wished to
hand down the custom to his progeny.
The young woman is now eagerly
looking forward for the rcappearanao
OF her little friends this season anal
means to bestow upon each bright
now ribbon should they come again. :
