the story of their romance spread
through every ward in the hospital.
One evening a messenger summoned
Miss Deuel. from the residence of her
grandparents with message stating
that Lieut.. Stanton was sinking rap
idly and could not live until morning.
A few minutes after her arrival at
the hospital the young officer, in the
presence of his mother and sisters, ex-
pressed the desire to make Miss Deuel.
his wife, SO that she might inherit his
property. There was no time to be lost,
and it was too late to summon min
lister. Clasping each others hands the
young people took the vows of matri-
mony under civil agreement, which
was duly witnessed by the relatives of
both and a few minutes later Lieut..
Stanton was dead.

Ten minutes was the brief space of
time in which Miss Mildred Deuel. of
Richmond, Va, counted the stages of
life which most women reckon by
years. In that short while she was a
maid, wife, and a widow, and the
romance which had filled her dreams
had been realized and shattered. She
became Mrs. Richard Miles Stanton
while her husband was dying, vic
tim of fever contracted in the service
of his country in the Philippines.
Three years ago Miss Deuel., the
daughter of theater manager in
Richmond, became engaged to young
Stanton. She was but II years old,
and the objections of her parents ruled
the young people when they talked of
marriage. A year later the young man
obtained a commission as lieutenant
in the volunteer army, and was sent
to fight the Filipinos.
Love is not governed in its intensity
according to distance, however, and
the miles between Lieut.. Stanton and

BLIND SPOT IN The EYE.
Phenomenon Not Discovered TIL the

Phenomenon Not Discovered TIL the
Time of Charles II.
If I wrote an article about the eye
and said nothing about the blind spot.
which is where the optic nerve comes
through into the retina, about one
tenth of an inch nearer the nose than
the center, suppose my readers would
go to the box Office and demand their
money back.
Just to be different from other peo-
pie, though, 1 will not print a cross
mark here and dot over there and tell
will disappear. 1 could make a big
of an inch in diameter realize that it
was only Mortal Mind and had no real
entity, but 1 won't. I know a better
scheme. Close your fists with your
thumbs outside and held against each
other. Extend your arms. Shut your
left eye and look f1xedly with your
right eye at your left thumb. Separate
your hands, and when they are about
six inches apart the right thumb will
go out of business temporarily, for its
picture will fall on the blind spot.
Now here's the curious part of it.
Though men have tried all sorts of eK-
periments on themselves for unknown
thousands of years, this phenomenon
was not discovered until the time of
Charles II. of England. The blind
spot leaves no hole in the picture of
the outside world, but there being no
stimulation on that spot, there is not
consciousness of a lack, but lack of
consciousness.-Ains Magazine.

Dean Drtu Holes.

The drill hole on the Turf club
grounds near johannesburg, which is
nearly two miles from the outcrop of
the main reef, struck the main reef
at 1880 feet, or within twenty-five feet
of the depth at which it was expected
formation would be struck. A curl
Gus feature in connection with the
sinking of this bore hole was the fact
that the rods were left in the hole
for twenty months while hostilities
were going on, says Mines and Nip
erals. The details of the work when
it was renewed are best given in the
following quotation from the report
of the engineers, which is as follows:
Having completed all our prepara-
lions, we started 20 withdraw the rods
on Sunday morning, May 26, at $40
a. m. The full pressure of steam at
our disposal was applied, and as the
rods took the strain it was a moment
of great anxiety to the onlookers, and
we held our breath in suspense, as
it was seen the rods had not moved
an inch. The next moment, however,
to our great relief and delight, they
gradually and evenly slipped outward,
and so continued to lift, without a
hitch throughout the day, SO that at
knocking-off time we had pulled ], $50
feet Work was resumed at daylight
on the following Monday morning,
and we are happy to inform you that
by 10 a. m. on that day all the rods

A USE FOR EVERYTHING.
Nothing Yet Ever Created
Without a Purpose,
A Theory Difficult to Be Believed
In Some Instances.
Many Think Nature Might Have Been
Upon Improved In Many Ways.

We all wonder why certain thing
were ever made, why certain animals o
insects were allowed to live. And We
there is no doubt but that everything
was intended Tor some purpose, and 81
civilization advances, such purposes
are discovered. E
Cod liver oil is something that every
BODY knows to have been a wise pro,
vision of Providence, to be used as {
medicine in all wasting diseases. Why
Nature should have appended to this
valuable remedy it's horrible odor and
most terrible taste is also something
that many have wondered at. But that
was Natures way. She gave to man
the crude material, and has left it to
his intelligence to overcome many OF
its Objectionable features.
This Is exactly what has happened
in regard to cod liver oil. Every body
knows its value. Everybody knows
how necessary it is for physi-
clans to prescribe it in navy instances
Everybody also knows that 1t is one
of the most terrible medicines to take
that can be imagined. There is no
longer need of taking it, that il, in
the form in which we have been Pceus-
toned to know it.
Mr.. j. G. Dodson, proprietor of bod
sons Pharmacy, of this city, has asso
ciated himself with q Boston house
which is producing preparation
known as Vinol- Wine of Cod Liver
Oh. This is not a patent medicine.
ANY one may see, on the label of each
bottle, or Mr.. Dodson will tell any one
who will call On him, exactly what
VInol contains. AS he explained yes.
terday: "We have simply found out
how TO extract the active medicinal
principles from the cod liver that has
made cod liver oil valuable. THIS we
may obtain in the form of q concen-
trated extract. The grease, with all its
vile odor. is left behind. That, too,
has its purposes. 1t is valuable for
dressing leather, but as for its being
in any way good for man as medicine,
it is absolutely worthless.
''Now we take the medicine that we
have obtained, or the concentrated
medicinal properties of Gods liver,
aud place just the right quantity of
this extract in a delicious, MUD table
wine, and there you have the whole
story Anybody can learn in a minute
that Vinol is tasteless. Any one who
is compelled to take cod liver oil can
find out in a few days how much more
benefit can be derived from Vinol than
could ever haye been obtained from
cod liveroil in its crude form"
Mr.. Dodson's enthusiasm in regard
to Vinol is indeed we'll founded. The
which he is handling will
be in a short time one of tue best
known in the world.
