COFFEE EYES
It Acts Slowly but Frequently Produces
Blindness.

The curious effect Of slow daily polls
oning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result. is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
i lady in OsWegO. Mont, experienced
A slow but sure disease settling upon
her eyes in the form Of increasing weak
ness and shooting pains with wavy.
dancing lines of light, so vivid that
nothing else could be seen for minutes
at a time.
She says:
This gradual failure Of sight alarmed
me and I naturally began a very earn

cause OF my trouble I concluded 10

experience with one cup at a Eeighbor's

coffee for about months and my eyes

nose Of his dog he had given it a rap
over the back with his cudgel, killing
1t instantly.
The dog showed every indication
that its queer action had been due to
the hypnotic influences of the rattler.
Until the snake had been killed it
made no move, but as soon as this
occurred. the canine broke out into a
profuse sweat and was SO weak that it
dropped into heap in state of COM
nlete collapse. The dead snake was
five feet long and carried 13 rattles.
Mr.. Smith is man of veracity and
had had wide experience with
snakes, which are remarkably num-
erous in that section of Venango
county. He has no doubt that the pe-
culiar action of his dog was due to
the power exercised over 1t by the rep
tile, and not, as some profess to be-
lleve, due to the benumbing effects of
having been struck by the fangs.

DO SNAKES HYPNOTIXE3
VcnangO County Farmer Is Now Con-
WINGED That They Do.

Oil City, Pa, Derrick.
Ezra Smith, Rockland township,
Venango county farmer, is a convert
to the general belief that a rattlesnake
can Charm" domestic animals. His
home is between Floyd, Pa, and the
Allegheny river. He is the owner Of a
Watchdog that is a cross between a
bulldog and a st. Bernard and noted
throughout that section for its cour-
age.
Mr.. Smith pastures his cows some
distance from the farm house, and the
uneven woodland. On Thursday morn
ing, accompanied by his dog, he was
driving his cattle to tho pasture field,
the dog little in advance. He no.
ticed that the dog stopped suddenly
and sLiffened in every muscle and
made as Lretty "point" az any bird
dog ever accomplished.
The action was so unusual that tho
owner also stopped and watched the
dog. Then he called him by name,
but the animal paid no attention to
him, not even to wag his tail. Mr..
Smith had good stout cudgel in his
hand and he pushed on to see what
allied the dog. Ahead Of tho dog,
coiled and ready to strike, was a large
rattlesnake, with only few inches
intervening between tho nose Of the
dog and the head Of the snake. Mr..
Smith is no amateur when 1t comes to
dealing with snakes, and before the
reptile could bury It's fangs into the
