Baltimore. The Holland settlement in

was recently started by a number of
Holland settlers from the West. has

Is great deal of dissatisfaction among

induced to move here and purchase
small tracts of land, paying a small
sum down and mortgage for the re-
malnder of the purchase money. Some
being unable to pay the balance have
lost all they had and have moved West
again. 1t is said that others are in

Renewed Hope for the Blind.

A very important discovery made by
DR.. r. Deutschmann of Hamburg is
just now much spoken of by physi-
clans, especially by specialists on the
eye. 1t deals with the successful cure
of a disease of the essa-Which but
short time ago was considered abso-
lutely incurable, the so-called detach.
ing or peeling Of the retina, which
sometimes follows a case Of retinitis.
This disease consists in the shrinkage
Of the aqueous humor, a watery, slight
ly salty fluid which lies between the
cornea and the crystalline lens, with
the greater part of it's substance in
front of the iris. If the quantity of this
fluid is lessened to a certain extent the
eyesight is absolutely destroyed and
the physician can do nothing but pro-
nouhce the disease incurable. Now
Professor Deutschmann has succeeded
in introducing into the diseased eye
sufficient amount of the aqueous hui
NOR taken from a live rabbits eye to
restore the lost sight. Several cases
where this most delicate operation was
successfully performed are on record,
the one Of purser on one of the
steamers of the Hamburg American
line being most interesting. This man.

The Church Maid.

The up-to-date churches now employ
church maid. One who enters a sane
tuary in New York nowadays may see
slender figure in plain black gown
with cape and apron moving around
among the pews. She is, perhaps, dust
ing the hymnals, arranging the cas-
socks or putting notices in the racks
She will, however, come forward, an
swer your questions, direct you to the
sexton, tell you the minister's hours OF
advise you to whom you should apply
for other information than she may be
able to give. 1t is a part of her duty
to remain respectfully near visitors, fo1
strangers have been known to '1ift"
anything that strikes their fancy and
walk off with it. The maid also cares
for the minister's study and gives to
the edifice many touches Of which the
janitor is incapable. The church maid
has her hands full.-Pittsburg Dis
