A Terrible Fate That an OcuIist's
Patient Had to Face.
From the Pittsburg News.

From the Pttsburg News.
Somehow it made me feel badly, this
happening that am about to relate
was in the Office of an oculist, one of the
leading men in his profession in Pittsburg.
A big, strong, and healthy-looking man en-
tered. His appearance indicated that he
had many years of life before him. He
was well dressed. keenly intelligent and OF
pleasant countenance.
doctor, my eyes have been troubling
me, and l would like you TO make an eX-
animation of them and treat them"
After few preliminary questions the
doctor told him to strip himself to the
waist He took off his clothes and stood
there, a magnificent specimen of manhood.
The doctor examined him, paying partic-
ular attention to his back for a reason of
which I knew nothing. Having finished,
he said:
Put on your clothes; can do nothing
for you Your sight may last six months,
but no longer. Treatment will do no good.
Blindness is sure to come"
What's the matter, doctor?" he asked
quietly with a faint tremor in his voice.
The doctor told him in technical Ian
guage. and then explained that the trouble
came from the wasting OF a nerve leading
from the spine.
what's your bill. doctor?" asked the
man, when he got his clothes on.
Five dollars" replied the doctor.
He paid it and left the Office without an
other word In the fullness of life hS
walked out into the blessed light of day
doomed to darkness until death within six
months 1t was an incident TO the doctor

A Russian sleiphride.

George EULER vigorously describes
his first sleighride behind a trio of Rus

In st. Petersburg, in company with the
general in charge of the imperial stud,
proceeded TO Krenoyoi, which is 800
miles southwest of st. Petersburg. We
We're met at the railway station with
the regulation winter conveyance. a
low sleigh, with three horses hitched
abreast, a trotter in, the center, and a
runner on each side. Then commenced
the journey to the stud, and never
will forget that trip. After we were
seated in the sleigh and were comforta-
bly, wrapped up in the fur robes, the
driver, who does his teaming standing
upright, gave an Indian wan, wlloop and
we We're off. The first jump took away
my breath. The snow flew in every
direction, and as we whizzed around
corners the sleigh would ride on one
runner, and expected every moment
to be spilled out and have my neck
broken. The driver never ceased his
whooping, and altogether think rode
faster on that trip than ever did be-
fore in my life. When finally landed
at the stud, more dead than alive.

Journal. I'm one, draw In the child as
a block of marble, with mother, grand
mother, teacher working away dog
gedly, relentlessly; chiseling hammer

pleased to consider its proper shape.
In the other, draw the child as plant,
with roots firmly set In the soil of cir
cumstance, with peculiar tendencies Of
its own toward growth, naturally, glad
ly reaching outward and upward to
what was meant to be its blossoniiig.
Then tell me which picture appeals to
you us more nearly approaching truth.
i have faith enough in human under
standing to believe that none will choose
the first, but all the last, to hangin their
gallery of ideas. How much simpler
the beautiful growing process than the
harsh chiseling process! All that we
who love the child have to do is care
fully to keep in good condition its en-
vironment; to see that 1t gets its needed
sunshine; to study most carefully Its
natural growth and nourish that, and
perhaps gently and lovingly to prune

Of the people.
The author of this and many other
hymns that have soothed the troubled
heart was laid to rest recently at Plain
field, NJ. He was Rev. Robert Lowry,
a prominent Baptist preacher. Dr.
Lowry was for years pastor of churches
in New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
other places and was at one time pro-
fessor of rhetoric in Lewisburg Univer-
sity. He wrote many hymns, among
them, beside the one already alluded to.

"Shall We Gather Mt the River" like
SO many other gems of thought, was
written on an inspiration of the mo-
ment. On one very warm summer day
in 1864 Mr.. Lowry was seated in his
parlor in Brooklyn mourning the loss of
several near and dear friends and many
acquaintances taken away by an cpl
demic that was then sweeping through
the city All around him were signs of
sorrow. Grape WAS on the doors of
many houses; the signs of mourning
We're on The dress of the people; gloom
of sadness had been cast over ALL Ey-

the mind of the pastor came the

Has Yellow PronRs that Tell Where
to Find the Metal.
In the window of shop on one of the
main business streets of Seattle is a
glass jar Of alcohol containing a rare
bug. Crowds jostle each other all day
to look at it. The label on the bottle
says only "Klontlike Gold Bug, All
over the creatures body are lite
prongs tipped with very pale yellow,
almost white.
However, the more superstitious of
the returning miners believe that the
gold bug has mysterious liking for
the yellow metal and knows how to find
It, This is the story a returned miner
tells:

Anyways, got er poke of gold by long
