Mrs. f. A. Sprague of Wilmington
met with a very serious accident re-
Gently, which may result in the loss Of
one or both Of her eyes. She was try
ing TO unite one Of the childrcn's
shoe strings with a table fork, when
her hand slipped in such a way that
the tines OF the fork penetrated one of
her eyes, inflicting very painful and
dangerous wound. 1t is feared that it
will be necessary TO have the injured
eye removed to prevent the loss of the
other eye.

Sandgate over the discovery of the re-
