Sometimes persons become blind

scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
. ously V successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by

the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks
was entirely blind, being unable to tol—
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.

ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes

It was variously designated the
“Turtleback,” the “TurtledoVe,” and
sometimes merely the “Dove.” The old
salts of the island knew it only as the
Turtleback rock, named for its decided
resemblance to the shining brown shell
of a monster tortoise protruding from
the water; but on account of its charm-
ing security for a. tete-a-tete and for
the appreciation it met with from those
who were strong enough swimmers to
enjoy its advantages the name which
had been given to it for its crustacean
likeness was usually perverted into the
simple, melodious appellation: “Coo
rock.” Indeed, so general had this
term become that even the venerable
guests of the Shawkemo house, dis-
cussing the tide which covered it pretty
well at the full, would call it so in all
seriousness, possibly confusing it, men-
tally spelled with a K, with the various
Indian names with which the island
abounded, or believing it had refer
ence, spelled with a. C, to the gentle
lapping of the waves about it.
It was Monday morning. Most of
the men who had come to spend Sun-
day on the island had returned to
town, three hours distant by rail; and,
although the day was exquisitely clear
and beautiful and the bay rejoiced in a
thousand shifting- blues in the sun-
shine, the bathers were few—a half
dozen boys at the school age turning
back-somersaults off the float, some
children paddling around in the wet
sand with their clothes tucked up be-
hind out of the wet like cock feathers,
and a staid matron or two near shore,
mildly bobbing up and down incased
in flannel and bathers’ hats.
As Marie Trask walked down the
float for her morning plunge she
nodded to the boys, looked out over
the water, and sat down a moment on
the edge to try its temperature. She
felt a. little lonely, a. little depresSed;
she swung her feet—irreproachable in
size, in shape, and in black silk stock-
ings—lazily in the water, and medi-
tated.
She was a comely object for the wa-
ter to reflect; a. trim, svelte, girlish
figure in a well-fitting black bathing
suit, her blonde skin browned by the
outdoor life she was leading, her eyes
clear gray, a small nose which had a
tendency to be Roman, a sweet. happy
mouth that was quick to smile and
show the white teeth that had not yet
lost their baby unevenness at the
edges, and, crowning all, her sunny
blonde hair; not so much of it, but it
crinkled and rippled over her head in
such a fashion that no one came near
her but wanted to lay a. hand on it and
smooth it down a bit, just to feel how
soft and silky it was.
She looked over toward the rock; it
was quite a distance out in the little
harbor, and the tide ran rapidly there
at the turn. It was about full now,
but it would be slack water for some
time yet, and she thought she would
try it. She had been out there often,
but never alone. She was a. strong
swimmer for a girl. and destitute of
fear; but always before to-day there
had been someone to go with her.
She slipped off the float; the water
was perfectly clear and just cooler
than the air. With strong, quiet
strokes she started for the rock as a
goal; half-way out she grew 8. little
tired, floated a few minutes to rest,
and then swam on. It seemed much
further than usual; but always before
she had been diverted on the way with
manly converse, or given a. friendly
hand if she were tired. At last she
reached it, pulled herself eagerly up to
the highest bulging point of the rock,
and gaVe a sigh of satisfaction. She
turned her' back to the shore- and
looked Out at the hill-clasped harbor.
What a perfect day it was! She was
irritated with herself for being blue,
but. how could she help it when other
people made idiots of themselves?
What a stupid thing for her not to
have looked through the book, any-
way, before she hadlent it to him; but
at least she had discovered in time
what a jealous, doubting friend she
had almost consented to marry. She
remembered every word of the letter
she had found waiting for her that
morning. It ran:
“DEAR MARIE: When you loaned me Dob-
son’s poems last night, I do not think you
knew you had left the inclosed verses in the

Jack Edgerton, and that he must have written
them to you when you left the Edgerton camp

such things to you such a little while ago. and
~yes, and you have let me believe you loved
me.

She had never known Jack could
make a. rhyme till these verses had
come to her. Dear, honest'Jal‘zk! how
sorry he would be if he knew all the
trouble he had brought about. N 0,
she could scarcely hold himresponsi—
ble for her present diScomfort—it was
all her own carelessness; 'and the next
time she indulged in the exchange of
literature she would shake the volume
to its foundations to exorcise all lurk-
ing imps that might do her ill. One is
so apt to tuck things away in a book
and then forget all about them. Yet,
after all, he might have given her a.
chance .to explain.
, She was aroused from her reverie
by the soft rush of waters ~parted by
the even stroke of strong arms. Marie
turned her head shoreward; a. man was
rapidly swimming toward her. The
head looked very familiar, but he had
written her he was going on the eight
ten. A few more strokes and there
was no doubt of his identity; she
turned her gaze again out to sea. He
clarhbered up on the rock beside‘her.
He was a. superb creature, with limbs
bronze and shining as one of Gerome’s
Arabs. He looked like some radiant
river god with a dash of water on his
chestnut hair, his eyes as blue as the
morning sea, and with that beauty in
his face that comes from conscious
strength and kindliness and the glory
of youth and vigorous, overflowing life.
“Good-morning, Marie.”
She had not yet looked at him, but
she met his gaze now with a half smile.
“I thought you were going on the
eight ten.” '
“I started,” he answered, “crossed
the ferry, went to the station, and
came back. Why did you come out
here alone? You should have kndwn
better, the tide is running out now,
and the swim back will be a. hard pull
all the way.”
“I am quite capable of taking care
of myself,” she answered, somewhat
stifliy, “and if you are afraid of the
tide you would better go in at once. ”
,He was astonished to find her adopt-
ing an injured tone; if anyone had a
right to be hurt, he surely was the one
to enjoy the privilege of that position.
He looked at her despairingly; the lit-
tle curls, dried by the sun and wind,
beckoned maddingly. He forgot his
grievance for a moment.
“When Venus came ashore on the
waves,” he said. keeping his eyes on
the curls, “Zephyrus blew her there,
and before he left her he hovered about
and kissed her until her hair, which
the sea had wet, was dry and shining
like silk; but it always kept the crinkle
the motion of the waves had given it,
and all true daughters of Venus have
inherited that ripple of the waves ever
since. That is the story I always think
of,” he finished, seeking now her clear
gray-eyes, “when I see your hair in the
sun, Marie.”
She laughed gayly. “It seems to me
some one else is dipping into poetry
besides poor J ack.”
His brow darkened. “Don’t make a
joke of it,” he said; “the blood has
been boiling in my veins ever since I
read it. 1 don’t blame Jack for loving
you, nor for writing it to you. I ought
not to have read it; but the thought of
his having his arm about you, as it
clearly implies, and that you have
cared for him, perhaps care for him
still, has driven me almost beside my-'
self. If you have any pity for me tell
me the truth, or let me go. ”
“You may go,” she spoke coldly; “I
will not keep you.” ‘
“See; we are here," he said, “under
the free sky, with the pure clear water,
all about us, close to honest nature,
and life would be so good to me if—is
there always to be an if?——if only I
knew the truth and that it is not what
I thought—that you do not care for
him.” .
“I am very fond indeed of Jack; and
as for the verses, I think they are
charming, and that any girl should be
happy to inspire a. man like that.”
Darrell .groaned. “You are more
frivolous than I believed, and you have
not been true to either of us.”
“I think I will swim in,” she said.
She slipped off the rock and struck out
for'the shore. He followed her silent-
ly, keeping his eyes upon her, for the
tide was making hard out to sea.
“Don’t try and buck against the
tide,” he called; “let it Carry you
down. Just swim for the shore; you
waste your strength that way.” He
was swimming close beside her now.
“If I needed it,” she asked, “would
you be strong enough to tow me in?”
He laughed grimly. “Try me,” he
answered. ‘
He took both her hands in his, swim-
ming easily on his back; to this healthy
young giant her added weight was
nothing. They went rushing through
the _ water at what seemed a. terrific
rate of speed to the girl whose endur-
ance had already been taxed by the
swimming, and the sense of security
and strength it gave her was a deli-
cious relief. .
At last they reached the float; the
little boys were tearing up and down
the sand doing jumping “stents.” She
let go of his hands and he lifted her
easily to the float. She was quite pale;
perhaps there had been some nervous
strain in her unusual exhaustion.
“Don’t you feel well?” he asked, as
he stood beside her, taking long, deep
breaths after his exertion.
She put out a. small, wet hand to
him which he gladly took in his own
damp grasp. “I should never have
gotten in alone,” she said, catching her
breath a little, “so I cannot be horrid
to you any more. That book belonged
to my Cousin Mollie, but she does not
want to announce her engagement to
Jack till the fall.”—Demorest’s Maga-

Something About Dr. Cushman, the Con-
structor of the First Transmitter,
and the Manner of His
r“ Discovery.
It is not common knowledge, except
to those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the first tele-
phone was constructed in Racine, Wis.,
and that the inventor, Dr. S. D. Cush-
man, is now a resident of Chicago, says
the News, of that city. ' .,
His litigation with the Bell Telephon
company, extending over a period of ten
years and costing one hundred thou-
sand dollars, has been reported from a.
legal standpoint, but as it is one of Mr.
Cushman’s principles that personal
reminiscences are in bad taste, he has
seldom given a formal interview. The
venerable inventor, seventy-seven years
of age, who built the first telegraph
lines in this part of the “far west,”
pursues his business with more alert-
ness to affairs than the average young
man. -
In a corner of the room is a large,
worn piece of muslin on which is paint-
ed in thin colors a representation of a
telegraph line stretching away in
the distance, connected with acrude
instrument, set on two logs, near which
is a frog sitting by a stream. This old
relic represents the telegraph line of
“good cedar posts,” which Dr. Cushman
constructed west from Racine for the
Erie 3; Michigan Telegraph company
in 1851, and the experimental lightning
arrester which led to his discovery.
It is a. reminder of the days when
Dr. Cushman was associated with Prof.
Morse in the pioneer days of teleg:
raphy. On his desk is the first tele-
phone transmitter, constructed in 1851,
twenty-five years before the Bell
patents were taken out. It is a small,
square box, with a speaking orifice and
containing mechanism on the same
principle as that of the modern trans-
mitter.
In 1851 Dr. Cushman undertook the
construction of a.lightning arrester, his
object being to take the. lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that it would not interfere
with the light current used in tele-
graphing. This instrument was placed
out on the prairie on two logs and in
order to know when it had operated a
triple magnet with a sheet of thin .iron
at the poles, similar in construct-ion to
a modern “receiver,” was placed in the
corner of the box. In case the light-
ning passed through the instrument
the electro-magnet would pull this
strip of iron down into the range of a.
permanent magnet, which would re-
tain it until the instrument was in:
spected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end of the
line. One day while a thunderstorm.
was coming up,.and Dr. Cushman was
watching the instrument, the creaking
of frogs was heard, thirteen miles
away. This is the explanation of how
the old painting with the crude instru-
ment and the croaking frog is identi-
fied with the discovery of the tele-
phone.
Dr. Cushman is the inventor of the
fire-alarm system in use in Chicago.
His patent-office reports, he says,
“would weigh a. ton,” and contain a
great number of his electrical patents.
To the priority of Dr. Cushman there
is said to be no doubt, and the contest
of the validity of the Bell patents be—
gun in 1855 was at last taken to the
United States district court of Boston
in 1893, where it is now pending.
Dr. Cushman is a descendant of the
historical Cushmans who came to Vir-
ginia in 1640. He was a friend of Hor-
ace Greeley and most of his prominent
contemporaries in what might be called
the era. of rapid mechanical develop;
ment. In early life he was a newspa-
per reporter. Some twenty years of
his life was spent in central Ohio, and?
he sayszl “I never doubted that God‘
made that country.”
Terrible Torture in Morocco.
A charge has been laid at Mulai
Omar’s‘ door—that of having ordered
the music of the drums and fifes to-
cease on the occasion of the announce-
ment of Mulai Abdul Aziz’s succession
to the throne. 0n the players refus-
ing, his highness sent a slave, who en-
forced silence by splitting up the drums
with a. dagger. For this act of treason
he was afterwards punished by having-
the flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt,and the whole hand sewn
up in leather. It is a common belief
that this punishment causes mortifica-
tion to set in and that the hand deco’m—
poses; but such is not the case, for by
the time the leather wears off the
wound is healed, the result being that
the hand is rendered useless and re-
mains elosed forever. It is a punish-
ment not often in use, but is sometimes
done in cases of murder or constant
theft, as, without in any way injuring
the health of the man, it prevents his
committing the crime a second time, or
for the hundredth time, as the case may
be. It is a. punishment that cannot be
applied except by the sultan’s orders.
Woman’s Work.
Women were the first shoemakers.
They made beautiful shoes with soles
of rawhide and uppers of dressed skin.
Prof. Mason says that the women who
invented the moccasin should have a
statue by the side of watt. The Eskimo
woman is a bootmaker. She carries a
part of her equipment of tools in her
month, using her teeth to help various
processes. The reticule, tobacco bag,
traveling case, bandbox and packing
trunk all exist among the savages, and
in North America are made by women,
chiefly from the pelts of animals. For
the first two the skins of rodents and
“such small deer” suffice. There is a
beautiful war bonnet of eagle feathers
in'the National museum, all the work
on which was done with a. sewing-ma-
chine by the daughter of a chief, who
had been educated in the Carlisle
school. ' ‘

"-GOLD LlNlNG IN RATS.
The Metal Found in Rodents and Saw-int:
Take the Tip. ~
In forming a company for the ex-
traction of gold from the microbes
which are supposed to attach them-
selves to that metal in countless mil-
lions maturc Frenchmen seem to have
stolen an idea. from thrifty Yankee
boys, says the Chicago Tribune.
I. B. Lake, a representative of the;
Waltham Watch Company in this city,
says it is a common practice for the
boys in watch and jewelry factories to
kill rats and burn their bodies to get
the gold from them, and that the
amount thus obtained in the course of
a. year is considerable. In every large
plant like that of the VValtham Watch
company many oiled rags are used in
burnishing watch cases, and in time,
become strongly impregnated with
gold. The boys about the factories are
supposed to keep these rags out of
reach of the rats, but they don’t do so.
On the contrary, knowing the keen ap-
petite of the rodents for anything
greasy, the boys carelessly leave these
rubbing rags lying about where, the
rats can get at them and eat them.
Six months of this kind of diet fills the
interior mechanism of the rat with a
gold plating he cannot get rid of. It
sticks to him closely, and so long as the
supply of oily rags holds out the rat
sticks to the factory. In order to make
sure the voracious rodents will have an
inducement to gorge themselves with
gold, sharp boys drop butter and fatty
meats from their luncheons’ on the
floors and rub them well into the wood
by shuffling their feet on it. At night
the rats come out and nibble the floor-
ing. They don’t care for the gold in it,
but the grease attracts them, and in
getting at the grease they take a
dressing of gold with it.
Twice a year the boys have a grand
round-up. Rats are caught by the hun-
dreds and after being killed are put
into a crucible and burn ed. The intense
heat drives off all animal substances,
leaving the gold in the shape of a but-
ton. The amount collected in this way
depends upon the number of rats the
boys can catch. It’is hardly large enough
to attract an investment of? capital, but
it gives the ingenious youngsters con—
siderable pocket money, and encour— .
there are young Napoleons, who buy $10'
up in advance the shares of- their fel— ;
low-workers in the rat colony. A '
scarcity of rats will depress the price ,
of futures, while an overplus will ad- '
ages business tactics. In some factories
vance it. Sharpers who understand
these conditions are accused of having
at times caused an artificial scarcity or
oversupply, as it might be to. their in-
terest to bull or bear the market.
The French discoverers are a. little
behind the times with their microbe
scheme.

THE FLEET OF MONITORS.
Their History a Long Record of Extrava-
gance Consequent Upon Neglect.
When the history of the monitors in
the United States navy shall come to
be told it will lay bare a. long record of
extravagance consequent upon neglect.
Some of the uncompleted or recently
completed monitors, says the New York
Sun, were begun while many officers of
the navy were still in their cradles, and
the fleet of monitors just ordered from
the James river; near Richmond, has
been lying there rusting these twenty
years. They are of the single turret
type. One commander aboard the Ajax
served for the whole fleet. They are
all single-screw steamers, of 340-h0rse
power, and each carries two guns. The
Ajax, Canonicus,.Mahonac, Manhattan,
and VVyandotte are 2,100 tons each,
while the Catskill, Jason, Lehigh,
Montauk, N ahant, Nantucket, Passaic,
and Comanche are of 1,875 tons each.
Only two out of the six remaining at
Richmond are to. be prepared for sea,
and it is said that of the four that have
not been ordered. immediately from the
James some will probably be sold as
scrap iron. ‘
The history of the old double-turret
monitors, severed. of which have lately
been completed, is somewhat like that _
of their single-turret sisters. The
largest of these great ironclads is the
Puritan. She is of 6,060 tons and of
3,700 horse-power, and she carries ten
guns. She is a. double barbette turret
monitor and so are the Monadnock and
Amphitrite. They and the Terror, 3.
double-turret monitor, are each of
3,900 tons and 1,600 horse-power. The
Monadnock carries six guns and the
other two carry four guns each. All of
the double-turret monitors are twin-
screw-propellers. The whole fleet has
been the mystery of the navy for near-
ly a. quarter of a century, and the com-
pletion of several of these ships has dis-
appointed the expectation of every-
body that knows their history. Their
cost was enormous, and there have been
great changes in their plan of construc-
tion. One of them lay for years at a
shipyard at Wilmington, Del., until the
shipbuilders put in a. claim of many
thousands of dollars for dockage. It
used to be said that the double-turret
monitors, if completed, would never be
seaworthy, though, through change of
prophecy has been disappointed.
Fewer Lawyers in France.
There will soon be a great reduction
in the number of lawyers in France.
By arecent law each one must take
out a yearly license, for which he pays
an amount equal to about twelve per
cent. of his house rent. Many persons
admitted to the bar who are not in ac-
tive practice have asked to have their
names taken off the roll, amongthem
M. Faillieres, formerly prime minister
and minister of justice, and Senator-
Berenger, author of the law remitting
the penalty for first ofl’enses and also
noted for his efforts to improve French
morality.»

Chilton Paint,
Every gallon of paint made by the
Chilton Mfg. Company is mixed and
ground in pure Linseed Oil. All shades
are mixed and ground by machinery
seven times, making them uniform' and
even. Compare the size of cans and
weight with the cheaper makes. You ‘
get an honest gallon. Give it a trial and
you will be convinced.
