He is a thrifty, intelligent man, and by
some means had incurred the hostility
of a negro. who lay in wait for him
one night, threw carbolic acid in his
face and robbed him. The negro is now
serving a term of 10 years for the of
fense. The carbolic acid destroyed Mr..
Heinard's sight entirely. but the ply
sicians of the Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital determined upon an unusual Op-
Grafton. They could not do his eyes
any more injury, and therefore any
thing was advisable that gave the slight

OF rabbits eyes upon his. Rabbit flesh

the experiment has been so successful
that Heinard's sight is growing strong

from night. There are hopes that his
sight may be measurably restored,
though 1t is believed that he will never
be able to read again. It is possible
that If he continues to improve, in a
year or two he may be able to walk

SUGGESTION FOR NOE-REFILLABLF
BOTTLE.

SUGGESTION FOR NOE-REFILLABI.E
BOTTLE.
One idea that has escaped so far the
attention of the inventors of non-refill-
able bottles is that Of making a SQUARE
necked bottle. All corks are cut round,
and if a man should invent a square
necked bottle the cork would have to be
cut especially. A patent could be OBJ
tanned, and no square-necked bottle
could be refilled without getting q cork
to fit We do not charge anything for
this suggestion, which undoubtedly
some one will take up.
Dr. Scale Harris. Professor of Medi-
cine in the University of Alabama. said
to the President last week that con-
sumption was making terrible ravages
among the negroes in the South. and
would in the end exterminate them.
He commended that, in spite of the gen.
erai belief, the death rate through the
South of the negroes is higher than the
birth rate. This is certainly true of
Washington, where the death rate of
the negro is 80 per 1000 per annum,
while that of the white race is only 16.
The negroes of Washington would soon
die out were it not for the constant
recruiting from further South. 1t has
been argued that this was caused by
environment. The negro is the result of
many centuries of existence in a tropi-
cal climate in hot. malariOus lowlands
near the level of the sea. This environ
ment has developed his sudorific sys-
tenn to an unusual degree, giving him
the large pores in the skin and profuse
sweating which characterizes the negro.
When he goes to the cold highlands the
pores are sealed up and the excrescence
remains in the body TO poison the sys-
tenn. 1t has been supposed that the
negro would continue to flourish and
multiply in the lowlands of the South,
but die of In the higher and colder
regions. The statement Of DIR. Harris
is therefore astonishing. and 1t does
not accord with the fact that the negro
population of the country is two and
half times greater than it was before
the war.

Of the things that is liable to be touch-

the governor is anxious to have NUM-
cipalities cut down their expenses that
taxation may be reduced to the limits

Always interested in school mat
tiers, it is likely that the governor will
take up taxation to the end that the

is also believed that the governor will
