MUM BLINK.
\ Peculiar Blindness Caused by Sleeping
in the Moonlight.


Three cases Of ''moonblink" occurred
on the British steamship Acanthus,
which reached Philadelphia the other
day. After the low-lying hills fringing
the shores Of Batavia faded from view
on the afternoon of July II for 50 days
her crew of 60 officers and seamen saw
no land, sighted no vessel and encOun-
tered no storm. Among the crew are
three seamen who. during the run
across the Indian ocean, suffered terri
bly, from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the
ewes prevalent in the tropics. and
known to sailors as ''moonblink." One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus was steaming across the In
dian ocean, one of them finding his
berth in the forecastie too uncOmforta-
bly, hot. went out and lay upon the
deck. The moon was nearing her full
and shone almost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at mid
night he was Weakened and was hOrri-
fed to find himself blind. At first the
captain thought the man might be
Siamming to avoid going on duty. but
an investigation was made. and il was
found that he could not see. although
his eyes were wide open. The calamity
was at once diagnosed as a case of
''mOonblink," and the captain eau
toned his men against running such
risks. When day began to break sight
began to return. and by sunrise he
could see as well as if nothing unusual
had happened. All of that day the
case formed the chief topic of Ccnver-
sation. and when night came two more
men determined to test the effect of the
moon. After two hours nap in the
full glare of the moon both men were
awakened totally blind. An order from
the captain prevented any further eX
perimenting in that line during the rest
OF the voyage.

HOLIDAY TIMES.
Preparations for the Midwinter Season Oh
EeStiNitY.

Festivity.
With the passing of All Saints day
and Halloween the holiday season draws
near. 1t has been the fashion of recent
years TO begin the season weeks be
fore Christmas actually arrives. Christ
mas greens decorate the shops and are
displayed with holly and mistlet0c
from Thanksgiving until the high tide
of the holidays sets in with Christmas
week All this time the holiday feeling
takes hold of all of us, and for the time
at least the golden rule becomes Il ilVln@
principle Every one feels the new nm
pulse which binds US closer to our fel-
low men. The young. who are forever
hopeful. are filled with bright anticipa-
tons of the season. The middle-aged
forget their sordid cares-forget- al
most, their struggle to keep the wolf
from the door-and join in the holiday
gladness.
The blessing of the holidays is seen
abroad in the cheerfulness and self
sacrifice with which home people bur
den themselves down with bupdleS, all
to give pleasure to loved ones. Men
who superbly order all their packages
sent home, take pleasure in carrying
home their Christmas bundles. all Tor
the pleasure of introducing them Sc
cretly, to hide them away until the day
arrives.
There are those among us to whom
Christmas brings sad memories, to
whom Thanksgiving recalls Il scattered
household, but we co .er our cares and
for this bcatific season and re-
N.
ritice of self will be Il power which shall.
let the Respondent into an atmosphere
of courage and hope. y large portion
of these blessed weeks before Christ
mas is spent in preparation of holiday
gifts and holiday feaSts for poor chill
dren. There are Il myriad of missions
going forth on errandS of mercy at tins
season.
Thanksgiving day, the first festival
of the holiday season. is peculiarly an
AmeEican feast day. Though it par
takes something of the nature of the
Jewish feast of the ingathering. it is not,
like that, a purely religious festival. 1t
is Il season when families that are sep
arated meet again underline old parental
roof. Like all festivals of Puritan origin,
it is celebrated with religious Obscrv-
ances in New England. The Thanks
giving sermon was formerly as much
a part of the celebration of the day as
the dinner that followed. This day has
been compared to the Harvest Home
days of the English farmer or the ''kirn
# Scotland. Both these days were pub
lie rejoicings of the entire community
in the completion of harvest, and were
celebrated with considerable rout and
rabble. These We're seasons of pictur
csque procession and merry drinking
bout. and not of religious and home OBJ
servance.
Let us all remember the holiday sea-
son in the holy spirit of good will to
men. 1t matters little what our eN-
ternal giving may be. if we give to
Heaven a CRATE full heart for the blessings
that are showered upon us. Let us not
profane this season by vulgar osteEta-
tlOus gifts. which are beyond our means.
and serve only to crafty our own self
esteem and pride. Let us meet the sea
son in the spirit of Tiny Tim, with the
prayer: God bless us every one.''-

INHERITANCE TAX VALID.
County Clerk Curry Sustained in His
Position by the Supreme
Court

County Clerk Curry was happy yester-
day on account OF tie receipt OF re-
mittitur from the Supreme Court which
sustained him in his position that the So
called inheritance tax is constitutions al
and may be collected in this State for the
benefit of the public school fund. The
suit under consideration was in the mat
ter OF the estate of the late ]. G. Will
merding, where the sum of $4,000 was in
volvod. The Supreme Court denied the
application for rehearing and the money
m ust be paid.
This decision will affect many other es-
tates. From the estate OF the late Sem
ator Leland Stanford there is now due
$500 COO, and against other estates there
are outstanding claims aggregating $780,
900 more, which will be recovered by the
County Clerk as soon as the court pro-
ceedngs car be attended to.
The total now due and payable will
amount to about $500, 900.
