WON HoNORS THOUGH BLIND.
STUDENT In the South Carolina College
Who surmOunted Many
Difficulties.

The honors of the commencement
exercises at the South Carolina college
:hls year were carried off by John e.
Swearingen, of Edgefeld, S. G., who
has been totally blind since he was
seven years old, reports the Buffalo r.
press. Swearingen stood higher than
any man since the college was estab-
hshed early in the century. In such
branches as mathematics and astron-
omy, where the sense of sipht would
naturally be regarded as of the utmost
Importance, he has achieved remarka-
bic success. One professor saws, for
instance, that Swearingen answered
with two minutes thought complex
mathematical proposition that has not
been answered by another student in
the college. He appears to have per-
rect conception of relative positions
and distances, and he experiences no
difficulty in drawing geometrical fig
ures. 1t would be interesting to know
how much of his present conception
of these things is due to knowledge
gained consciously or unconsciously be-
fore he became blind. 4 child of seven
years generally has pretty good idea
or form, though not so good of dis
tance. If he were an unusually bright
child, as Swearingen probably was.
these ideas would be much advanced.
while in either case they would be last
ing. Swearingen is ambitious, but is
undecided whether to become a min
ister or lawyer. His teachers believe
he would adorn either profession.

MEMS FEET.
The Left Usually a Little the Bigger
Shoes, However, Made
Alike in Sise.

The man buying pair of shoes found
the right one perfectly comforta BILE and
easy, the left one rather snug, says the
New York Sun.
Its usually so," said the salesman;
"the left foot is commonly little big
ger than the right foot.'' e., g..
why don't you make the left Shoe a
little bigger, then?" asked the Gus
toner. si' if sts-. t.:
WELL" said the salesman, "the diff
ference is usually not great, and it
might not be enough so that it would
be noticed in trying on shoes. And
then it is nos so great but what the
difference in feeling of the two shoes
disappears very soon. And then, too,
in some cases the mans right foot is he
larger, the man being right-footed in
his respect as men are sometimes left
handed, the reverse of the common
habit in the use Of their hands. If fshoes
were commonly made with the left
little bigger than the right, to fit the
majority Of cases, they'd be worse than
ever when you hit a right-footed man.
So the shoes are made alike in size, a
man gets pair that fit him comfortably
TO start with, and they adapt themselves
quickly to any slight differences in the
feet" .#.-

British vital Statistics.

The British Medical Journal, which
should be an excellent authority, re-
ports that between 1879 and 1888 the
annual marriage rate in Great Britain
fell from 176 to 14.2 per 1000 of the
population. Last year it rose to 1862.
The birth rate has been less fortnnate.
1t reached it's maximum in 1876, but
since that year there has been steady
decline, last year the births being 10
per cent. below the number in 1876.
The marriage rate in the agricultural
districts is lower than in the manufac-
turing districts, and the decline in the
rural population is still further in
creased by the enlarged number of re-
movals into the towns. Is the mother
country going the way of France2
