Receivers His Sight After Fourteen Years.


Sight has been restored TO the blind
eyes of John F. Martin, who for IA
years could not even distinguish light
from darkness.
Martin says his sight was restored
to him by miracle through the agen-
cy of a woman, Miss L. A. Churchill,
and Miss Churchill says it was the
Divine Spirit working through her.
This much is certain: That Martin
can see so we'll that he is employed
at difficult and dangerous work in a
book binding and printing establish
ment, goes about the business streets
day and night unaided by companion
or walking stick, and without the aid
of glasses, reads medium-sized type,
distinguishes and names correctly the
colors in a many.colored carpet, writes
letter rapidly and in good hand,
and can tell thetime by watch.
Martin is the man who was hire :
as a substitute by the late Charles
Broadway Rouss, the blind millionaire,
to take the treatments offered when
he made his famous offer Of I$1 600
900 to anyone who should cure him
of his blindness.
In this capacity Of substitute Mar
tin went through ordeals sufficient in
themselves to have killed an ordinary
man, and in the hands Of quaoks and
humbugs his poor, sightless eyes were
30 maltrested as to make it marvellous
that anything but empty sockets re-

And the irony Of it is that Rouss,
the millionaire, who hired the poor,
penniless Martin to undergo the use

sl.oo A YEAR.
Farmers Live Longest.

Some one has been keeping a regis
ter in the State of Massachusetts,, to
ascertain what class of individuals live
longest. This record covers period
of thirty-four years and includes l6l..
500 men over twenty years of age.
The average age at which they died
was 6fty-one years The number is 30
great and the period covered is 80
long that by the study OF the classif-
cation ofthe employment of those dead
We can get very fair idea Of the
comparative ages at which men in
different occupations, and in an ordi-
nsrily healthy community, are swept
away by death.
It 10 noticeable that Of all who died
the cultivstors Of the earth attained
the highest average age, about sixty.
FIVE and one.hslf years, AMI thy made
up more than a fifth Of the total mum.
Der. We all know farmers as class,
not only in this but in all countries,
should live to ripe old age They
enjoy good air and free from many Of
the cares that beset those living in
the cities, to say nothing OF the con-
stant noise and excitement which de-
stroys the nerves and racks the sys.
tenn 1t is rarely that a farmer dies
before his head is gray. Farmers, as
a rule, too. 10 not, to any great de-
gree, indulge in alcoholic beverages.
One important fact must be taken into
consideration concerning the farmer
and his age. which is that the weak.
lings of the farmers family do not, as
a rule, remain on the farm after at.
tanning an age fitting them iOr some
pursuit. Such are sent 10 the cities
to choose trade or a profession, and
only the strong and healthy ones who
are fitted for the work are retained
upon the farm.
The class next TO the farmers in the
average Of life is that class called "ac-
tive mechanics abroad" such Az brick
layers, carpenters, masons, tanners,
mill.wrights, riggers, cslker. skaters
and stonecutters. the average age dur
ing the period mentioned was only
about 6fty-two and three.qnarters
years, q little over a year more than
the average age Of all the classes to-
gether.
Next to the active mechanics abroad
come the professional men, whose
average age at death was over fifty
one. OF the professional men those
set down as student. died at the earl
liest age, the average being only about
tventy-three; then came the profess
sors, well over 6fty-seven years; then
the physicians, over ffty.Gye years;

chants, fnsnciers, agents and clerks

this head, that Of gentleman, exceed

The shortest.liyed Of their class
were the telsgrsphers, who died at the
average Of age of twenty.eight. Clerks
and book-keepers also died early, at
the age Of thirty-siI. Railroad agents
and conductors departed this life on
the average at about forty years.

A Brave Girl.

n DldNS OA
Readers who know of and were In
terested in the case of Rosalie Mid
dleton, the blind girl who lost her
arm at the hospital as the result Of
the wreck on the @. Y. January l,
1904, will recognize in her the SUBJ
ject of the following clipping from
Philadelphia North American:
Just about year ago young blind
girl finished her musical education
and was ready to begin playing in
concerts all over the country.
She would show the people who
had made her training a possibility in
stead of a wonderful dream that they
had not misplaced their belief-that
their help had been given to the right
person.
And then everything was changed
in a moment. The train she was
travelling on crashed into another
there were the usual awful train
wreck. horrors-she was pinned under
a lot of wreckage, and, ahead Of her,
fire was slowly eating its way toward
her.
When she came to herself again
she was lying on bed in hospital
with that awful pain gone, but her
right arm felt SO strange-what was
the matter with it? Perhaps the
bandages were too tight-wouldn'
somebody come and lift it down
move it some way?
But after the shock Of the news had
passed little, she said: "Well, III
have to start al. over again, but Ill
still learn to play well-with one
hand. It's been done before"
1t had been done before, though
never by blind woman, already ter
ribly Handicapped. The nurse told
her story, and the wonderful heroism
of it spread, until from all over came
offers of help. She refused every
thing e1cept message that came from
a great tescher, who offered to teach
her to play with her one hand. That
offer seemed to make her life over
again, and she began to get wall.
Her general musical knowledge
helped her conquer the physical diff
culties until today she plays brilliant
ly and has begun her concert work
after all.
People who hear her play cannot
tell from her appearance that she has
only one arm-her one claim upon
sympathy is the closed eyes which
mark her as blind, and that is for
gotten when she begins to play.
The sleeves Of her concert dresses
are made of rufles, and the empty
sleeve is filed out 80 as not to hang
limp. She sits at the piano, turned
ever SO slightly away from it. For
tunately, she says, it was the right
arm she lost, and you wonder why
she should be glad to lose the stronger
until you realize the Importance of
the bass in music and how much more
Of it is called upon than the high
treble. Then you see the difficulty
of beginning and ending with the
right hand out of its natural position.
In the case of the young blind wo-
man it was simply genius working out
it's own ends, conquering circumstan-
ces.
And the best of the whole story is
that it is true.
