CAN SEE LYING DOWN,
But Blind While Standing Up--Cure
VIII Probably Be Effected.

New York, August 1.-On cot in
the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Nose
Hospital is patient suffering from
an extraordinary case of blindness.
He Is a young man and In all other
respects Is not only healthy and Wig
orous, but trained athlete. When
he Is standing or sitting in an up
right position, he is almost totally
blind, but while lying recumbent he
sees objects distinctly and with his
normal visual powers. That has been
his strange condition for about six
months, and during that period he
has remained most of the time in a
recumbent position.
In its cause as well as in It's effect
this peculiar form of sightlessness Is
remarkable. The patient, whose
name the hospital physicians prefer
not to reveal, was member last win
ter of well known team OF basket
ball players. In the course of one Of
the match games the ball struck him
sharply in the eyes, but the blow
seemed neither serious nor painful
The young athlete made light Of his
hishap and for a time seemed to
suffer no i'll effects. #e.
Later his eyesight began to trouble
him and then the peculiar ailment
began which made him sightless ex-
cept when lying down. AS soon as
he noted his poor sight the young
man consulted physician, and when
the condition of sightlessness devel-
oped 1t was decided that the blow
from the basket ball had so effected
the retina and other parts of the
inner eye as to disturb the delicate
adjustment Of those organs and to
cause the peculiar result noted, the
retina being thrown out of its proper
relation when the patient held his
head in certain positions.
For six months the young man has
been under special treatment before a
new x-ray method known as the x-ray
flashes, and the results are reported
to be encouraging as to warrant the
belief that within another, period of
six months his sight may be COM
pletely restored.

Value OF Tears.

DR.. RCmme, the well known French
medical authority, speaks e. jquently
rent issue Of LaRevue. Tears, he
writes, ale most useful in cases Of
great depression or deep sorrow. Cry
ing creates kind of cerebal torpor,
and mental Indifference, which acts
as an anesthetic. One browns sorrow
In tears better ever than in alcohol.
"We should never restrain tears.
They form, especially with children,
a safety-valve, which does nothing
less than preserve the balance of the
brain"

Woman Tougher than Man.
(New York Glohel !

q = !. 'H
Although men as they run are per-
haps muscularly stronger than wo-
men, their inability to withstand the
elements and their reliance upon
clothes places them considerably be-
low the so-called weaker sex In the
matter of unclothed toughness. Wo-
men wear clothes for ornament; men
use them as protective covering.
A group of men marooned clotheless
on an island In the temperate zone
might be expected to die of In q
month from draughts and colds and
rheumatism. The health Of woman
similarly placed would suffer little
from the enforced exposure. The
fact appears to be, therefore, that
in everything but muscle-in vital
'ity, ruggedness, character, disposi-
tion, brain power, etc.--woman Is
the tougher, not the weaker, sex.

REASONS FOR IMPEACHMENT.
A Bold Arraignment of the Georgia
Prison Commission.

The Atlanta Georgian of July 3Oth
contained the following arraignment
OF and reasons for the impeachment
of the Prison Commission Of Georgia.
"The members of the Prison Com
mission should be impeached at once
just as the conductors of de-
bauched and insolvent bank would
be removed and their office turned
over to receiver.
"1f the Governor knew as much
about State bank that showed as
hopeless a condition as the Georgia
prison system, how long would he be
seeing that the men in charge were
suspended?
"The Prison Commission should be
impeached--
Because of the unspeakable cru
elites and inhumanities practiced by
their leave. Humanity comes first of
all. And men almost without num-
ber have been beaten to death by the
commissions appointed wardens. Z
Because it has been plainly shown
eAAhS WIG StolC vi NSol HAS DSSH
mulcted of millions of dollars to the
enrichment Of private individuals, and
that the commission recommended
"unhesitatingly" the enactment Of
another lease law Ave years ago
making this possible while the very
chairman himself had six years pre-
viously asked that the State be reliev-
ed OF the Intervention of the middle
man.
Because the chairman Of the COM
mission himself admits that while
bids for convicts were to be competi-
tive, he, upon seeing that the biggest
bidder the State has ever had, had
turned in a bid tee low to get his
desired allotment, telephoned the
gentleman and permitted him to raise
his bid on seven hundred convicts.
Because, whether the commission
shared in 1t or not, they knew of
graft and gross irregularities in near
ly every branch of the department.
Because, II they pleaded that they
| did not know Of this graft and inhu-
manity, they are thereby convicted
| of negligence and incompetency SO
criminal that even the spotless char
| acter of Gen. Clement A. Evans can
not atone for 1t.
Because they allowed Jake Moore,
their chief warden to resign when he
was threatened with exposure, and
sought to hush the matter up, instead
| of having the alleged crookedness
| Investigated by, the States attorney.
because they permitted Goodloe
| Yancey to remain as secretary Of the
commission when his son was in the
confidential employ of the biggest
lessee in the State, and was himself
engaged in convict traffic.
Because, in the face of all the dis
closures of the past three weeks, they
have not raised a finger toward bring
ing to the bar Of justice even the
most flagrant violator of the law.
Because the disgrace that has
come to Georgia under the admins
tration of these gentlemen can never
be removed in the eyes Of the world
until justice is meted out to them

The following answers were given
by other officials, the questions same
as above, but omitted here to save
space:
1. Since December 1st, 1904.
2. l think business has increased
25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
3. Yes; occasionally we have a
few cases in the courts for violation
of the law, but not more than for
merly.
4. A most wonderful effect. I
think drunkenness has decreased so
to rs per cent.
s. No liquor Is sold in the county
except occasionally by parties who
open up blind tigers, and they are
soon caught and dealt with. A con-
siderable amount of liquor is shipped
In during the fall and winter months.
My opinion is that the entire sale
from all sources has decreased 60 to
rs per cent and possibly more, and
the drinking reduced in the same
proportion.
