LOST EYESICHT

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
of the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
of great numbers of cases that add to
the testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register-Gazette:
DIR. William Langhorst Of Aurora
has been treating one Of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach of Beach
county, and in the last four months he
had doctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case Is incurable.
A portion of the optic nerve has
been ruined, rendering his sight SO
limited that he is unable to see any
thing before him, but he can see plain

EDUCATIONAL ERRATA.

The retirement Of DR.. William A.
Packard as Kennedy professor Of
Latin language and literature and the
science Of language at Princeton
marks the close of 35 years Of active
teaching.
Granta, the Cambridge undergrad
uate organ, urges reform in the eng
lish university education. 1t says:
Rendered unfit for business, the only
places open TO- the graduates are
schoolmastering and the church, and
in the uttermost parts Of the earth
are to be found graduates Of Oxford
and Cambridge, now become laborers,
beggars and outcasts.'
Prof. E. w. Clark, Of Ripon col
lege, Wisconsin, has been honored by
the bureau of university travel IN
Rome in a manner which will make
it possible for him to go abroad each
summer and secure a new stock of
material for the lectures he is deliv-
ering. He has been engaged to con-
duct the teachers excursions to the
homes of the ancients and will spend
the next ten years in this manner.
A step has been taken toward the
organized athletic training of Amer
lean schoolgirls by the forming of a
girls branch of the Public Schools
Athletic league, of New York city.
Speaking of this movement, Miss
Grace Dodge said that the methods
of training must be different from
those applied to the boys. A prize
of $50 was offered by Mrs. Henry
Siegel for the best method of combin-
ing the essentials of moral and ath-
letic discipline

trip; two antelope for the Cincinnati
zoo, six black swans, zebra and the
largest water buffalo ever brought to
this country constituted the consign-
ment, in charge of John Osterman,
who has brought hundreds of beasts to
this side. The water buffalo is for the
Bronx zoo. Hagenback, the animal
owner, shipped the creatures.
When three days cut the Pallanza
was overtaken by furious storm. The
freight liner bobbed like a cork, and
the cages on the upper deck, where the
animals had been placed for fresh air,
tugged at their lashings.
The liOness showed the greatest ter
ror. She roared every time a wave
combed over, and hurled herself at the
bars. A big comber finally hurtled
against the cage and overturned it.
The beast got out and rushed down the
slippery deck, Keeling and plunging as
the ship ducked and rose. The seamen
fed, with the animal in pursuit. She
rushed at them, but, unable to keep a
straight course, failed to do any harm.
The men went below, while the
lionass ruled the deck. Her roars rum
bled above the shrinking wind. When
her roars showed that she was near
the stern some Seasmen, with Oster-
man, lodged up the ccmpanionway and
formed in line with cong spears. They
bore down on the lioness and gradu
ally forced her into a corner. Now
and then she would attempt to spring
past the outstretched weapons. but the
sting of the steel sent her back.
A big net, such as is used in India
to snare wild animals, was placed on
the spears. 1t was then pushed over
the c1ouching beast and, under Oster-
mans guidance, so twisted that the
lione5s became helpless. She was
| dragged gingerly to the cage, and once
again inside her prison was bound
with ropes.
1t is remarkable that the liOneSs, I'M
der the handicap of slippery deck,
was lot swept overheard. After the
storm subsidized she lay quietly in the
cage, subdued by fright. and refused to
touch meat for two days.
OSterman, who plainly showed the
effects of his scare, said that when he
has charge of animals at sea again the
cages will be SO protected that a
| craftsman couldn't open one.

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It Often Happens from Coffee.

Il had no idea," writes a Duluth

drinking all my life that was respon-
sible for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which I'M
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me and forthwith babe the harmful
beverage a prompt farewell, ordered
in some Postum, and began to use it.
The good effects of the new food
drink were apparent within very
few days. My headaches grew less
frequent, and decreased in violence,
my stomach grew strong and able to
digest my food without distress Of
any kind, my nervousness has gone,
and 1 am able to enjoy life with my
neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights.
My physical strength and nerve pow
er have increased so much that I
can do double the work l used to do,
and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get a hold to build me up again.

was unable to do so until after it had

were suspended. But for their prompt
action they would have been hurled
