English Woman to Whom Sight Was
Returned by Knife, Was Surprised
at Size and Color of the Human
Face.

Philadelphia.-An operation per-
formed only few times by the great
est eye specialists of the world was
successfully completed in a hospital
clinic before the senior class of the
Medico-C -Chirurgical college by DR.. L..
Webster Fox. who occupies the chair
of opthalmology in the college.
BY the use of six needles, Indian
ink, and vegetable dye the doctor
succeeded in tattooing the perfect
semblance of an eye on young girls
blind eyeball, which was covered by
an ugly white blemish the size of a
five-cent piece
The girl asked Dr. Fox to put a
glass eye in place of the diseased tis-
sues, which made her face repulsive
to lock at. The doctor, upon examina-
ton, found that the growth over the
corner was so strong that the delicate
operation that came in his mind could
be performed with a chance of sue
cess.
Cocaine was inserted to destroy
whatever sensibility remained, but no
oA1oSolAClIC was lO luS
patient, who did not appear to suffer
any pain while the operation was go
ing on.
The students saw the skillful hand
of the doctor guiding the tattooing
needles produce the semblance of an
eye with the skill and patience of a
trained artist on surface that had
been a blank white.
India ink was used for the pupil
For the iris a vegetable dye which
had been carefully experimental with
was employed, and the brown color
of the other and healthy iris in the
girls other eye was duplicated.
AS DR.. Fox dropped his last needle
and turned to his class he was greeted
with enthusiastic applause of the
students.
The operation, DR.. Fox told his
class, can never become a common

Limpert and the dog in the house.
When the Schuermann's returned they
lighted up the dining room where the
dog always slept.
They saw Limpert lying on his face.
There was blood about him. The dog
jumped up and ran about the room,
but showed no signs of anger. Nc.
Schuermann's family physician, DR..
Oretine said Limpert had been dead
several hours.
DR.. O'Hanlon and DR.. Albert Wes-
ton. also coroner's physician, made
an examination of the premises and
Limpert's body, and when they got
through they ordered the body sent
to the morgue, where an autopsy was
held. DR.. O'Hanlon said that there
was no doubt Limpert was killed by
the dog which had the reputation of
being vicious.
1t was thought at first that Linz
pert might have died from a hemor.

Ten-Acre Homes

Southwestern Farmer.
Ten acres of good coast land, we'll
drained, half in orange orchard and
half in garden and field crops, will
make an industrious family indepen.
dent. OF this there is no longer any
doubt in our minds. We have seen
it worked out successfully too often
to question it. That being true, it
is as certain as anything human can
be that the coast lands will in time
reach an average cash market value
of $500 to $1,000 per acre. There is
no better savings investment for the
young man or woman in this region
than coast country soil at present
prices.
Southwestern Farmer is eminently
correct, and that the American peo-
pie generally will come to realize at
no distant day that such is the case
is the belief of The Hustler. Many
of them are already interested in the
Gulf Coast country, of which our
section is the best, as is readily ap-
parent upon even casual examina-
ttop.
Right here at Monte Christie we
have the choicest of all Texas land
OF this there is no doubt. We have
the right character of soil, the best
quality or water, and fine climate,

Possessing these, any settler, who
