no violence to the language when we

An Oculist Tells How the Sight of Several
Persons Was Destroyed.
prominent oculist of this city gives
the following list of queer accidents
that have come under his observation
recently:
A little boy, 10 years old, was stand
ing in front of a bird fancier's shop
when an aged parrot seemed to take a
sudden luminosity to the child and DART
ed at him, pecking out one eye before
he could get out of the way.
Some linemen left lot of short wire

the telephone connections in that dis
trict An old negro woman who was on
her way to market early the next morn
ing stepped on one end of a bit Of this
wire, when the other end flew up. strik-
ing her in the eye and binding her.
A mixer employed at one of the
dairy farms near the city was milking
IA COW that had got her tail matted and
tangled with cockleburs. In the course
of the milking the COW switched her
tail into the mans face, the mass Of
burs striking him in one eye and COM
pletely destroying the sight OF it.
A lad shooting at sparrows with an
airgun hit his little brother in the eye
and blinded him for life.
Tommy Peats, the handsome, bright
eyed 7-year-old son of widow, fell
down stairs backward. When his moth
er got to him and picked him mp, the
Roy was asleep, the shock having affect
ed him in this singular manner, and in
an hour after, when he opened his eyes,
they were badly and irrevocably crossed.
A poor lad who is affected with cpl
Ispsy during a recent attack fell against
the steam coils in his fathers Office,
burning and blistering his eyes SO badly
that the sight is gone.
As the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger train was coming into the city
some ruthless person threw stone at
the day coach, shattering one of the
windows. The particles Of glass flew
into the face of man sitting by the
window, as many as 40 of them embed
ding themselves in his eyes alone. Most
marvellous to relate, every bit of glass
has been distracted and the mans eye
sight remains unimpaired. New Or

The SMILE ON OUR eAeYs FACE.

God's angel was hidden to make her fair,
So he wove the sunshine into her hair.
He took Of the midnoon's cloudless skies
And fashioned therefrom her two blue eyes.
He washed her white with the sinless SHOWS
And painted her cheeks with the dawn's faint
rose.
He dimpled her tiny hands and feet,
He made her sunny and soft and sweet,
He nodded her round white limbs with art,
He got her from heaven pure child heart;
Then he kissed her lips and her brow and eyes
And brought her, sleeping, from paradise.
Such virtue lies in those kisses three
That how so weary at heart are we,
The look and the smile ON our baby's face
Bring rest and comfort and endless grace.
