Ole, the sheep should be transferred
to a fresh pasture every two or three
weeks. Abundance of shade should
be provided tn every pasture and
when trees are absent, sheds should
be constructed, preferably on the high

sheds made as dark as possible are
best and afford the sheep much relief

utilized 10 great advantage as q eupple,

best adapted to sown pastures are rye

SIGHT RESTORED TO &a
WOMAN BLIND FROM BIRTH
Asheville Physician, by the Use of
Knife Restores Perfect Vision to
Miss Leila Cameron, Age 20,
of Marion, N. C.

Asheville, N. c., Nov. 25.-Miss
Leila Cameron of Marion, who is 20
years old and had been blind since
her birth, is able to see as we'll as the
average person in Asheville who uses
glasses. Her sight was given her by
by an operation performed by DR.. E.
R. Russell. The results of the opera
tion are probably among the most
wonderful ever accomplished in the
United States and the operation re-
quired only a few minutes. Miss
Cameron is without doubt one of hap
piest persons in the world today.
The operation was not performed
on both eyes, only on the right one,
and the happiness of the patient on
being able to see for the first time in
her life came very near making the
operation unsuccessful, as only local
anesthetic was used, and as soon as
the delicate operation was completed
she was able to see. She could not
control her emotions for a few mo-
ments, until it was impressed on her
that her continued sight depended
upon her emotion being controlled
until the eye has been healed. The
first operation proved success, and
as little pain had been suffered she
returned for the second, which was
equally successful and now her sight
is weak only by natural near-sight-
edness.
The trouble with Miss Cameron's
eyes that had kept her from seeing
was that the pupils were filled with
an opaque membrane that would not
allow the transmission of light. The
operation consisted merely in cutting
windows" in this membrane SO that
the light could pass through, thus
making an artificial pupil for each
eye. No trouble whatever was en-
countered in this, DR.. Russell says.
1t is understood that there has al,
ways been objection by all the frienda
of the young lady, except one, to
having her consult specialist but
this one believed that something could
be done and brought her to Asheville
to consult DR.. Russell.
Miss Cameron is a fine musician
and has taught music classes in Mar
ion for number of years. -

Clinton, Mo-, Nov. 23.-Capt. w. G..
Watkins, 79 years old, who served un-

President Lincoln approved the order,

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Possessed WITH
the idea that she was pursued for dis
honorable purposes, Miss Maude Van
Deusen, 35 years old, leaped from the
Goth story of the Mccormick build
ing and was crushed to death on the
stone pavement of an alley at the
street level. She jumped from fire
escape nearly $50 feet above the
ground, struck another fire escape
at the first floor and bounded into
the alleyway. Nearly all bones were
broken.
Miss Van Deusen, according to pa

appears that she had been seeking a
position here and had been obsessed
With the idea that she had been in
danger from white slavers. She

appeal for protection from Police

Did His Work Too We'll.

While it is no easy matter for a violin maker to rival the famous Stradivarius instruments, an American maker once dad this, and did it in so effective a manner that experts pro- nounced his violin a genuine Stradiva- rius. The successful man was George Gemunder, who died some years ago. His remarkable ability as a maker of violins was known to many a distin- guished player, such as Ole Bull, Re- menyi, and Wilhelmj, but he achieved so runs the story-his greatest suc- cess, at the last Paris exposition. To that exhibition he sent an imitation Stradivarius and to test its merits had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article. A committee of ex- perts carefully examined the instru- ment and pronounced 1t Stradivarius. So far Gemunder's triumph was com plete, but now came difficulty When he claimed that it was. not an old vio-
 m, but a new one, made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared that he had never made the instrument and pronounced him an impostor. He had done his work too well.

SENATE VOTES FOR HANDS OFF

Moon Blindness.

A naval correspondent had written from Port of Spain, Trinidad. stating that in his travels he had come across many cases of moon blindness, caused by men sleeping with the moon shining upon them, such cases occurring prin- cipally in the tropics and the Mediter- ranean. Strange to say, adds the Trini- dad correspondent, men so affected can see in daylight, but cannot do so when dusk sets in. MT. Elgie further quotes from a communication made by New Zealand correspondent to a weekly scientific journal. This correspondent was many, years ago an apprentice on the Liverpool ship Langdale, an East India trader. Once when the ship was between St. Helena and the line some of the crew slept on deck fully ex- posed to the glare of the brilliant moon. When they awoke three of them were quite moon blind. They had to be led about at night and the ropes put into their hands.-London Standard.

 The entire problem of force, or en- orgy, is being studied in laboratories with renewed activity and with the aid of instruments of ever increasing ac- curacy. Space may hold wonders yet undetected. Thus energy in form not at present known may reside there.
 A number of recent experiments have revealed effects that are inexplica bic by any laws known to science. These researches were made in light. The results of studies now being made are awaited with great interest. A new electronic theory of light may be for mulated-that is. light may be radi- ating rays of excessively minute bodies at least 1,000 times less than the hy- drogen atom.-New YoHk American.

Wealthy Cuban Merchant Motors Here With Sweet

Exalted Ruler Flint Called From Elks' Local Lodge
 Room to Issue License

Hello, Bill," sang a voice over ths telephone at 9:30 last evening into the Elks' Home, State street, when Exalt- the phone.
 The, exalted ruler. just out of his chair of office, responded in kind.
 "Got a couple out here. that wants to get married. In Fairfield, can't get married till we get a license. Can't get a license unless you give It to us. Can we send the car in for you?'
 "Sure thing replied the genial Joe, who is not only the biggest Elk in Bridgeport, but also the town clerk of Fairfield, the next town west. e Flint soon stepped into a Renault limousine and was whirled into Fair- field in jig time.
 There were awaiting him, J. Me- Leod Murphy, sometimes of 27e Brooks street, this city, more often of New York where he stops at the Hotel St. Denis; and the couple who wished to wed.
 sNeThey said they were Jerry>J. War ren of Key West, Fla, and Theresa Prescott, formerly of Louisiana, now of 325 Central Park West MT. War ren, they say, is one of the largest of the American merchants in Cuba, with a. DeauL1Iul nome al Key west, Wnlie both his bride and he are .reputed to be very wealthy.
 It appears that they with MT. Mur- pfy and a niece and nephew of the Bridgeport man were dining at the Hotel St.. Denis last evening when the niece and nephew, both of whom were married in Fairfield last fall, one in September, the other in Octo- Der, told of their romantic marriage so interestingly that right on the spot | Honeymoon trip was made up. They arrived in Fairfield something after 9:30. Justice of the Peace John E. Boyle, the famous marrying jus tice of the town, was serving soda to a sweet young thing that had flut- tered in from the beaches when the | big car rolled up He explained the law that required a license, then the ! hunt for Flint began.
 Boyle married the couple with neat n sss and dispatch and they were soon l speeding back to New York for their wedding breakfas; whioh was ordered 1 by phone.

Trousers.

A recently published work on the social conditions of the last century reminds us that trousers were invent ed by the Duke of Wellington, who was called upon to pay a heavy price for his temerity. Men, we are told, lashed themselves into fury at gar ment that reduced all legs to com mon level. The graduates of the uni versailles were refused admission to dining hall and chapel with the detest- ed trousers, while the Iron Duke him self was excluded from Almack's when he presented himself wearing his pet abominations. But the conqueror of Napoleon was not to be resisted in his far greater task of conquering public opinion. There was something about the pantaloons that commended them to the so called mind of the masses, and we have been wearing them ever since.
