poor woman who kept shop in a north
ern village, and who was troubled with a
husband who could scarcely be considered a
u widow through the sudden demise of her
spouse. 4 lady, who frequently made
small purchases at the shop, called to see her
and to offer her sympathy, though knowing
that the mans death must in a certain sense
come as relief, as the wife had often sui.
fered from his violence. She was not, how
ever. quite prepared for the stoicaI way in
which the wife took her bereavement.

K RAYS AND BLINDNESS.
No Good Evidence Found That One
VII HeIp the Othcr.

Quite sensation was produced sew
eral months ago by an announcement
that Mr.. Edison had helped the blind
to see with the aid of the Y rays. 1t
was intimated that the optic nerve
would respond to this stimulus when
it would not do so to ordinary light.
1t proved, however, that the great elec-
triciau was misreprescntcd. He had un-
dcrtaken some experiments in this di-
rcction, and few tritling circum-
stances gave him encouragement for
time. But he eventually found it i'm
possible to produce any effect where
the blindness was due to atrophy, or
loss of feeling, of the optic nerve. Va
rious physicians also made tests of a
similar character. In one instance,
where the cause was cataract and the
optic nerve was all right, the X rays
assisted tie oculist in ascertaining
what the matter was. The usual opera
ton for cataract then restored the pa
tents sight. But almost without eX-
ccption all investigators reached the
same conclusions as did Mr.. Edison.
One very sanguine eXperimenter, DR..
Louis Bell, however, declared that when
the current was turned on and off from
n Crookes tube the resultant fiicl<ering
could be perceived by man with whom
he had made tests. and who was blind
from paralysis of the optic nerve. The
matter has since been followed up by
two Texas scientists, DIR. Hilgartner,
oculist to the state institution for the
blind, and Prof. Northrup, an expert
| in electrical matters. These men pro-
| cured powerful apparatus and then got
hold of II blind people, seven of
whom had absolutely no power Of dis.
| cerning light; four others could very
/ family perceive light. But not one OF
them could get the slightest impression
| by looking either NJ an excited Crookes
tube or at Horoscope. This lack OF
substantiation will probably lead un,
prejudiced scientists to the conclusion
that DR.. Bell was deceived somehow
and that no help is to be derived from
this sourcc.-N. Y. Tribune.

Millions of people, like this poor painter, are de- stroying their lives by overwork and worry. Do not neg lect the feelings of exhaustion and las- situde. They mean much.

CARLSBAD"
 Taken at Home.

Prof. Hlawazek has proven by clinical experiments, that the Waters of Carlsbad act in the same manner when taken at home asif taken at the spring, and their remedial action is not impaired by export. The temperature can be given them at will. Even when taken cold the effect is the same, only depending on the pa tient's disposition or idiosyncrasy. The results obtained by Prof. Hlawazek, and published in his extensive works on Carlsbad, proved beyond a doubt, that the Carlsbad Mineral Water as ex- ported in bottles, will act pre- cisely the same as when taken at the spring.

DOWN DEATH.
A Tragedy of the Nerves.

A poor painter fell 125 feet down to death in one of the gigantic shafts of the Brooklyn Bridge.
 He was a superior workman, and his fate Is doubly sad from the fact that he had a wife and children. Work with him was not always plentiful, and he was doing his best to provide for his family while he had an opportu- nifty. With a chance to- work he over worked, as millions of others are daily doing. In his nerv- ous anxiety to &C., conplish as much as possible, he for. got himself and the scaffolding which held him 1n nid-air. His death was quick and tragic.

SERIOUS FOREST FIRES.

Middletown, Nov. IA destructive forest fire was raging to-day on South mountains, adjacent to the Air Line railroad tracks, about five miles to the westward of Middletown.
 Three hundred acres of woodland, owned by Wilson Bartholomew, and 100 acres owned by David Reed have all ready been burned over and the fire is now burning on the Seiferman estate.
 A gang of forty Italians had been at work fighting the fire since Sunday af- ternoon, but they were unable to check it. To-day's rains have, however been effective.
 It is thought that the fire was started by hunters.

 London, Nov. 1.-Reports received from the Menhaden fishing steamers during the past week have not been very encouraging for their owners. The vessels have been lying at Sandy Hook or Jersey City for the great part of the week on account of the strong east winds and heavy seas. What fishing was done was along the New Jersey coast north of Barnegat. The steamers Arizona and Quickstep landed at the Mantle works with about 600, ,O00. The boneys are moving south and the fleet, some twenty steamers, are following them along the coast.
 The fishing season is drawing to a close and the Arizona and Quickstep
