The country always takes more inter est in an Ohio state convention than in any other state gathering. This is partly because there is always some thing new and fresh in Buckeye poli- tics. but it is mainly because the poli- tical events in that state 80 often have an important bearing on the affairs of the nation. Two former governors of Ohio have become presidents of the United States. One former governor is United States senator from Ohio. Three former governors of Ohio (Chase. Foster and Corwin) have been secre- taries of the treasury. A former gov ernor of Ohio was postmaster general during the administration of Lincoln and another was secretary of the in tcrior under Grant

oculist light has been admitted into the
life of 9-year-old Ethel Boothby of East

Before the skill of the oculist had swept
away the barrier of darkness not ray of
light had ever penetrated the child's eyes.
The eyes of the child at birth had no
natural pupils or lenses
Doctor Byron B. Viets, after an examina-
ton, found that the space where the pupil
is located in a perfectly normal eye was
filled with a tough. thick membrane. This
completely filled the space and precluded
all possibility OF ray Of light entering the
eye.
For three years Doctor viets worked pa

modern surgeons on her right eye. Little

brane. until one day a CLEAN of light

to see objects before her. and for the first

the original. Doubtless no novel was ever
prepared for presentation on the stage that
did not disappont, to greater or lesser
degree, lovers of the original story owing
to the obvious fact that incidents pretty in
themselves do not make a play. And very
often some one or two scenes or bits of

A HOUSEHOLD COMFORT.

One Of the necessities Of household
Is a hot-water bag. For many aches
and pains 1t gives relief and where
there is a baby this bag is ever COM
fort in the crib and carriage
In preparing the bag for use boiling
water should not be put in 1t, and
neither should it be more than half
filled. After the water Is in it place
the bag ON your lap before putting In
the stopper, and carefully press out
the steam. This makes the bag softer,
as it is relieved of the pressure the
steam makes.
When not using the bag drain out
the water, let it hang bottom side up
for little while, then take it down
and with the mouth blow a little air
into it, just enough to keep the inside
from coming together, as it will often
do If there is no air in it, in which case
the bag is quite sure to be ruined in
pulling it apart.
If you have a bag that Is stuck to-
gether put it into some hot water with
a few drops of ammonia, let it remain
a few minutes, then with thin, dull
edged piece Of wood, try to separate
the inside very carefully. Never fold
rubber bag after it has once been
used. A flannel bag for covering the
rubber bag is very useful.-New York

FOUND AND RETURNED.
Much Lost Money Recovered by En-

Thousands of dollars lost in the
cars of Chicago passenger trains are
returned to their owners every year.
The big warehouses in Chicago tn
are filled with lost articles have none
of these precious finds or any record
of them, because they are safely re-
turned without having reached head
quarters. Much of it is returned by
trainmen who are able positively to
identify the owners. Not long ago
conductor on Michigan Central
passenger train found a pocketbook
containing $1,000 in currency and $500
in negotiable paper. With little in
quiry, cleverly prosecuted, he was able
to find the owner, and returned the
money. The latter rewarded the faith
full trainman by offering him cheap
cigar. During the height of the last
excursion season, the station agent of
the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa railway,
at Hamlet, Mich, was one of the pas
sengerS on an excursion train bound
for Benton Harbor. He had in his
pocketbook nearly $400 in cash and
checks. While en- route the pocket
book disappeared, and he returned to
his station without the money. On
the following Monday the entire
amount inside the pocketbook was re-
turned to him. The pocketbook lay
Sunday night, and the car inspector
at Laporte found it Monday and re-
turned it to the owner, the property
being easily identified by the nature
Of the papers inside the pocketbook.
