SAW THROUGH HIS NOSE.

Modern Researches pvr,E> The Truth
OF Il story Which Is Centuries Oid.
Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
tury mentioned the eXis:--ace Of "a man
who, having lost his eyesight, could
see through his nose. The story, much
doubted at the time and pronounced
fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless
true if the researches of +. Douliut
prove correct, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t seems that the victim had
lost his right eye early III life and late.
on while climbing cherry tree fell
upon fence, the pickets horribly mu-
tilating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in considered
the eye entirely destroyed, sewed up
the wound and it healed in time, form
ing a large scar where the eye had been.
4 year later the man, then considered
stone blind, lay in the grass when he
surprised himself by discovering that
he could perceive through the cavity
of the nose the sky and the color of the
flowers on the meadow around him.
From that time on he practiced for
five or six years to see with his nose,
which to him became practically the
organ of vision. He gradually became
more proficient in seeing in this way
and could see everything beneath him,
while he remained quite insensb!e to
the light from above.
The condition of this man can be ex-
planned scientifically Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from it's
socket by the fall the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cav
ity of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed, which acted
as a lens in the same way as pin hole
can be used to take a Photographic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light ar
rive there after passing through 4 small
opening.

20 woman lovely woman nature made
thee to temper man we had been brutes
without you" Woman more than merits
all the good things that have been said of
her by the wits and poets of all times.
When man lau6s woman and her charms
and virtues he has in his minds eye an
ideal. That ideal is always a healthy wo-
man. No man makes pretty speeches and
witty toasts about woman, with the picture
Ia his mind of weak, sickly, nervous wo-
man, tortured by pain, and suffering from
depression and despondency. 1t is in the
power of every woman to be some man s
ideal if she will but build up and guard
her womanly health.
The best of known remedies for all forms
of disease peculiar to women is DR.. Pierce's S
Favorite Prescription. 1t works directly on
but one set of organs i'll woman's body.
1t allays and eradicates pain. 1t soothes i'll
Hammation. 1t invigorates and purifes. 1t
restores complete health to the organs dis
tinctly feminine and banishes weakness,
depression and dependency. 1t is the dis
covery of DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting
cal Institute, Buffalo, n. Y. If you wish to
know more about it write to him.
This is to tell YOU" writes Sister Eliza l.. de
Falcon of Corpus Christi. Nueces Co, Texas,
that had been i'll foT twenty one years and
was finally cured by your medicines the Golden
Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription s"
1t is as easy to be well as i'll - and much
more comfortable. Constipation is the
cause of many forms of illness DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They
are tiny, sugar coated granules. One lit
tie Pellet is a gentle laxative, two a mild
Cathartic. All dealers in medicines.

TIE LOCOMOTIVE SHREK.


Its Invention Due to the Destruction
of load OF Eggs.
II was in the year 1888, according to
an English exchange, that the head
splitting Shrek of the locomotive was
born. When the country roads for the
most part crossed at grade the engine
driver had no way of giving warning of
his approach except by blowing u tin
horn. One day in the year 1899 a farm
er was crossing the railway track on
one Of the country roads with Il great
load of eggs and butter when train APP
preached. The engine driver blew his
horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear it. Eighty dozen eggs and so
pounds of butter were reduced to one
common pulp, and the railway COM
pany had to pay what was then con-
sidered heavy damages.
a director of the company, Ashmead
Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to ask
II he could not invent something that
would give warning more likely to
be heard. Stephenson went to work,
and the next day had a continuance
which, when attached, to the engine
boiler and the steam turned on, gave
out shrill, discordant sound. The rail-
way directors greatly delighted, or
reded similar contrivances to be at
tached to all their locomotives. And
this developed into tie locomotive whis-
tie as we know 4,
