. HAS EYE8 LIKE AN OWL.
A Man \Vho Can See Only When Darkness
Casts Her Mantle Over the Light.
This is a strange case of Henry
C. Lanner, whose eyesight was ruined
for daylight, but of perfect vision at
night.
Ten years ago he was working in a
foundry when a shower of molten iron
struck his face and both his eyes. He
was carried to a hospital, stone blind,
andwllen the wounds had healed and
the bandages could be removed both
eyes were sightless. He tried to rec-
oncile himself to this awful affliction
through the first day after the wrap-
pings had been taken from his eyes. '
That night, however, happening to
awake after the light had been put
out in his room, he found to his
amazement that he could see every
object about him distinctly—chairs,
books, the figures on the wall paper
and carpet were seen as plainly as he
had formerly beheld them in the day-
time. He lay awake until morning,
overjoyed as a. man brought out of a
living grave. But as "the light of
dawn flooded through his windows the
world became dark‘ to him, and he
could see nothing when the morning
light became strong.
The next night he found that he
could read a newspaper in the dark-
ness and write letters, while in the
day he could only dimly recognize
the outlines of people and buildings.
A REMARKABLE TO‘NN.
Norwich, in England, is Slowly Sinking
into the Earth.
Assuredly the most curious town in
England, and the most upside-down
looking place, is Norwich. As the
stranger walks up one of its streets
he wonders whether he is the victim
of a disordered imagination or
whether an earthquake has been vis-
iting the locality. Here two houses
are leaning one against the other, as
if for mutual support; three more are
leaning from each other as if in sul-
len anger; higher up are dwellings
sunken in the center or at the ends;
the pavement, on one side in certain
places is higher than the other, while
a little further on it is iower.
In short, everything has a general
appearance of topsy-turveydom in this
town of what are described as “drun-
ken houses.” The cause of it all is
not far to seek. Norwich, as every-
one knows, or ought to know, is the
centre of the salt industry, and it is
the drawing of brine and rock salt for
the manufacture of this very neces-
sary commodity that is the moving
factor in the mischief. On nearly all
sides of the town are big salt works,
with their engines pumping hundreds
of thousands of gallons of brine every
week, while the extensive mines of
rock salt are being cut in all direc-
tions.

AvnArToa AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
Cap f. Drcvfzis Costs France ($12,000:: Year
and is flaking His Keepers Crazy.
Captain DrenyS was found guilty
of divulging army secrets by the gov-
ernment of France'two years ago.
There are not many nations in Eu-
rope rich enough to treat themselves
to a. traitor like Captain Dreyfus, who
is assuredly the dearest object in that
line that ever existed. '
The Figaro says that France might,
perhaps, have four heroes for the
same price. The government ma-
chine, with its usual genius, has so
skilfully arranged matters that it
costs $12,000 a year to maintain in a
distant islet a. man who has been de-
graded publicly for treason. If he
lives only twenty years, which would
not be extraordinary, he will have cost
his countrymen, reckoning in the in-
terest, a little more .than $400,000.
Never did any man who saved his
country cost as much as that.
It is also the first time on record
that any human being inspires a great
enough interest for people to spend
14,000 francs a year merely to learn
the condition of his health. If :1 Min-
ister happens to dream some night
that Dreyfus has escaped, that costs
1,500 francs in telegrams the next
morning. If Dreyfus catches cold it
takes 10,000 francs to announce the
event to the proper authorities, while
if a. German or English vessel is
sighted sailing past the Ile au Diable
we have to pay 2,000 francs.
Besides this the keepers and watch-
men on the island are subjected to
the most cruel discipline. One has
gone mad on account of the weight of
responsibility, two men have been de-
voured by sharks in going from the
island where the Governor lives to
the Ile au Diable to find out how
Captain Dreyfus had slept at night,
and pale, nervous, restless beings are
seen walking about anxiously with a
frightened look, startled and driven
out of their wits at the slightest
sound, having hardly time to eat and
sleep; they never take their eyes off
a very tranquil person, who walks his
hundred paces after breakfast, smok-
ing his pipe with his hands behind
his back. They are people with a
clear conscience, who watch a man
who has committed a crime.

just like her.” “How do" you mean?”
“She never did care much for society,
always seemed to prefer complete so

Perhaps the

man than the old

fresh air and the

do much for her.
Fresh air is a great

a great nerve tonic
if a woman be in
condition to take it.
A health woman

seemingly almost
inevitable ‘ "weak-

be already sick.
Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will helpefl'ect a cure. No women Who
suffers at all from so-called ‘ ‘ female weak-
ness” should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first ut herself into
possession of strong and earty health by
taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughl well, exercise and
diversion will help to Keep her well. The
cure should come first. Dr. Pierce’s Fa-

acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what ,is the matter with .them, it
will cure it. It will not-cure anything

'a healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by
taking it regularly during the-period of

many cases, almost entirely obviated.

FACTS REGARDING TUBERCULOSIS.
Especially of Dairy Cattle, and Sugges-
tions for Its Suppression.
The New York StaIeBoard of Health
has issued a circular from which we
8312?;ch '
The disease known as tuberculosis,
and, when afiecting the lungs, as pul~
monary tuberculosis or consumption,
is very common in human beings and
in certain domestic animals, especially
[cattle More than one-seventh of all
deaths occurring in human beings
throughout the civilized world is
caused by tuberculosis, and it is esti-
mated that more than one-fourth of all
deaths occurring during adult life is
due to it, and that nearly one-half of
the entire population at some time in
life acquire it. It attacks people in all
conditions of life, of all ages and oc-
cupations, in the country as well as in
the city. The disease is essentially
the some in animals and in man, and
hes the same cause. Among herds of
high bred cattle not infrequently more
than fifty per cent are found to be.
suffering from this disease. '
Tuberculosis may affect any organ
of the body, but most frequently first
attacks the lungs. When the living
germsfind their way into the body, if
favorable conditions for their growth
exist, they multiply wherever they
may lodge and produce small new
growths, or nodules (tubercles), which
tend to soften. In animals, in ad—
dition to the tubercles, large white
hard masses or soft cheesy material
containing gritty particles may be pro-
duced. The discharges from the soft-
ened tubercles or tubercular masses,
containing the living germs in enor-
mous numbers are thrown off from the
body in various ways. When once the
disease becomes established, it as a
rule extends, and the tubercle bacilli
multiply and produce a poison which is
absorbed by the body. The poison
causes fever attended with wasting
and great feebleness, and ultimately
the disease ends in death. 0n the
other hand, recovery from the dis-
ease may occur, or it may exist for
long periods of time, and in cattle
often extends widely and produces
grave changes in the body without
rendering the victim apparently very
sick or affecting its milk producing
powers. Cattle may be seriously af-
fected with tuberculosis and yet not
cough, eat well, be fat and appear
healthy, and the most careful physical
examination by a skilled veterinarian
may fail to reveal the presence and
nature of the malady.
The germs which are thrown off in
the discharges from diseased portions
of the body do not grow outside the
living human or animal body, except
under artificial conditions, although
they may retain their vitality and vir-
ulence for long periods of time, even
when thoroughly dried. As it has
been definitely proven that tubercu-
losis can only result from the recep-
tion of these germs into the body and
their multiplication there, it follows
from what has just been said that
when the disease is. acquired it musr
be through the reception into the body
of the living germs that have come
more or less directly from some other
human being or animal affected with
the disease. In man, these germs are
cast off in enormous numbers in the
expectoration and in the evacuations
from the bowels. In cattle, also,
whether there be cough or not, the
slobber or spittle or discharge from
the nose and the discharges from the
bowels contain these germs when the
lungs or the intestines are diseased.
These discharges fall upon the ground
or mangers or floors or fences,and are
often eitherlicked up by other ani-
mals or taken with their food, or dry
and become pulverized and are then
breathed into the lungs in the form of
dust. As the disease is communicable
it will be readily seen that the pres-
ence of one tubercular animal in a
herd may ultimately cause the disease
in many others with which it comes
in contact.
It has also been fully established
that the milk of cows which are
tuberculous, whether the udder is af-
fected or not, may contain these living
and virulent tubercle bacilli, and that
the milk from such a tuberculous
cow, no matter how healthy the ani-
mal may appear, may cause the dis-
ease in human beings who use it. It
makes no difference how far such milk
may be carried or how much it may be
mixed with milk from healthy cows, it
is always dangerous and its distribu-
tion for human consumption, if done
knowingly, is criminal. Among stall-
» fed dairy cows, from five to fifty per
cent are sometimes found to be af—
fected with the disease. Tuberculous
animals are also frequently killed for
food. Their flesh sometimes contains
the germs, and if not thoroughly
cooked is capable of transmitting the
disease. Boiling the milk and thor-
oughly cooking the meat destroys the
germs. In cattle, the only efficient
means to prevent its extension to
other members of a herd and to
human beings is by the prompt do
struction of all diseased animals.
If the payment by the State for the
tuberculous cattle destroyed be as-
sured, as it can be by an act of the
Legislature appropriating a suitable
amount for this purpose, a way will
be open for'the gradual extinction of
bovine tuberculosis.
This matter is brought to the atten-
tion of farmers and dairymen and
cattle owners in the hope that they will
co-operate in the attempt to free this
State from a dangerous and costly
pest, and thus promote their own pri-
vate welfare as well as the interests
of the public health.
