FIRST SIGHT AT 80.
Man Blind From Birth Until Now an
Interesting Study.

Edinburgh, May 27.-John Carruth
whose sight has been restored after a
life of thirty years spent I'm vague i'm
aginings, says blindness is blacker than
black. He is a most interesting study.
Yesterday he travelled to Greenock to
see the sea- He passed through long
and short tunnels. In one of these his
companion, who is blessed with full
sight, experienced the most intense
darkness, resembling, as he expressed
it, that of the most impenetrable night
He spoke of this to Mr.. Carruth, who
replied; 1T is aye dark, but there's a
feeling of light to me yet"
His friend replied: But it is pitch
dark"
"Oh, nothing of the sort" said Car
ruth, ITS ma sac dark as it use to be
when l could not see."
Some other curious facts about Car
ruth are that he has been moving about
with his eyes open for practically only
two days, and for the first time has
experienced what it is to be able to see
and yet be afraid. When he was blind
he rode horseback and delivered mes
sages and parcels. He was never
afraid of making a wrong turn or of
being thrown from his horse. He now
declares that he would be afraid to do
so. He walked on a rude plank lying
only on one rail over the water with
perfect confidence when he was blind.
He is very timid now. He also feels, as
he never did before, that he may get
run over or miss his footing and that
he must be careful to look where he Is
going.
AS the train approached ureenock
he observed that they We're approach
ing that town. When asked how he
knew, he said he could not tell by the
sound, although nothing of the kind
was appreciated by his companion.
When he smoked cigarettes during his
blindness he did not obtain half the
enjoyment that he does now. His ex-
pressions of wonder and admiration of
the beauty of everything as the train
passed by the fields and farms and
trees showed intense delight and the
deepest interest.
Il am taking stock; / Gamma make it.
all out yet; it will come doun."
He could hardly say that he had a
definite idea of what the women were
like but he never thought they were
sac bright and sac bonny.'

lumbus upon the FIVE dollar renomina-
ton. so that there is no lack of prece-
dent for such action in future, IL 1t shall
be deemed expedient. Up to this date,
however. no foreign king or emperor
mad ever figured upon a United States
stamp. Queen Isabella holds the rec
ord.
1he question of color scheme has not
been considered. 1t is possible the
stamps may be printed in two colors,
the portraits in black and the frame or
border in the established colors; but It
is more likely only one color for each
stamp will be used. The two-color
stamps cost the department four times
as much as the single color and involve
a vast amount of work for the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.
