An Odd Hunting Accident.

A remarkable hunting accident TOOK
place in the forest Of Rambouillet re-
Gently. The Duchess Dues hunts ID
the forest twice a week. The Paris
correspondent of the Newcastle Chroni-
Gle states that on this occasion stag
which had been ~put up was In full
fight when suddenly the Duchess de
Luynes appeared riding leisureiy just
in the terrified animals front. IninK-
ing only of escape from its pursuers'
the stag instantly sprang to vault over
horse and rider, but caught the duch-
ess. carrying her from the saddle ana
falling with her, while the horse bolt
ed. Fortunately the soft turf broke the
fall. and the duchess, on the approach
of the hunt, was able to rise with a
laugh and none the worse. a similar
accident happened to the king OF Eng
land at Compiegne twenty-five years
ago.

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.
The Chief Trouble In This Disease
Ites In the stomach.

The Chief Trouble In fhis
Lies In the stomach.
British oculist has called attention
10 a new and indire t method OF treat-
ing tobacco blindness, and notes the
extraordinary fact that the ehlei
trouble in this disease is traceabie 10
the stomach as the primary source. tx
cessive smoking, as Is well Known,
causes in many individuals partial ana
sometimes total blindness. Tobacco
blindness land also the failure OF vis-
ion which comes from the excessive
use Of alcoholic beverages) Is remark
able because of the absence OF any
change In the structure OF the eye
itself.
Microscopic examination in these
cases has disclosed peculiar alterations
in the ganglion cells of the retina, ana
the changes were formerly believed 10
have been produced by the poison OF
the tobacco itself. Three years ago
philadelphia physician published the
oninion that the alteration in the cells.
followed by failing vision, was not
nroduced by the nicotine itself, but by
poisons which the nicotine created IN
the system. These secondary poisons,
finding their way to the eye, modlned
the cells in the retina, this modincation
being followed by inadequate VISION
or by loss Of vision altogether.
With this original suggestion Tor
starting point, other Investigators look
up the investigation, with the result
that the seat of the trouble has been
located. This is found to lie In the
stomach. Nicotine disturbs the nor
NAL function of the stomach and In
stead of a healthy digestion the smok-
or has veritable poison factory In his
gastric region. Instead of treating the
eye. therefore, the new method goes at
once to the stomach and attempts 10
stop the manufacture OF poisons IN
that important organ.
Several interesting cases are report
ed of complete cures by this method
One patient, an excessive smoker
whose ewes were rapidly failing, was
treated for indigestion. The stomach
was pumped out and found to contain
evidences of gastritis. The mans diet
was corrected, his tobacco cut on ana
other remedies of hygienic kind were
annlied. In few weeks the blindness
had disappeared.
These facts seem to clear up the
mystery attaching in general TO toDac-
co blindness. Some men can smoke u
excess without impairing the eyes,
while others are affected in that way
, by a much smaller quantity OF smoK-
ing. This anomaly can be understood
when it is remembered that 1t Is the
, stomach and not the eyes upon winch
the nicotine acts directly. Some stom'
achs can resist the poison making
force of the tobacco; others cannot
and II is those whose stomachs are az
( fected by the use of the weed that sur
: fer from blindness. Smokers snouiO
n therefore have an eye 10 their diges
s tion.-Chicago Tribune.

Poor Jack of all trades! So strong
Is the prejudice against him that he
is even denied the right to practice
one vocation lest it interfere with his
calling. This is an age Of narrow spe-
cialization. When John Belcher, known
now as a daring and original archi-
tect, was a young man he gave good
deal of time to music.
He had a fine voice and was greatly
in demand at evening parties.
One evening, after he had sung to
loud applause, he overheard two gen.
tlemen talking him over.
"Who was the fellow that sang just
now" asked one-"the professional, l

"Oh. that was Mr. Belcher, an archi-

We are all ready 20 carry good news

defeat at Waterloo a messenger start
cd for the Russian capital to tell the
czar that his national enemy was over
thrown. On and on lie went. Wnlie
the horses were being saddled at the
different taverns he would sleep; then
into his saddle and on. When he rush-
cd into the Petersburg palace the cZar
was at dinner. But, undaunted, he car
ried the good news into the royal BAN
ouet hall. and then, after telling the
news, he dropped at the feet OF the
czar and fell into a slumDer from
which no one could rouse him. Ii d
czar's soldier would be so anxious TO
tell his chief Of an earthly victory snail
we not be anxious, like the Emmaus
discinles to tell all the world or a
heavenly victory? From this churcn
emhowered with flowers, where we
have seen the risen Christ in VISION
and heard him in song and sermon'
shall we not carry the news every
