BLIND.
All Paris was oppressed by that
overpowering heat which often pre
cedes a July storm. Low rumblings
of thunder , like the distant roaring of
a lion in the desert , kept coming near
er until the storm-clouds broke with
the sharp , crashing noise of splitting
planks.
The next minute large rain-drops
began to pelt the faces of the passers ,
and to speckle with gray spots the
dusty grange of the sidewalks.
A pretty brunette , about twenty
years old , over-taken by the unexpect
ed shower , hastened to seek refuge in
a hospitable doorway.
Her clothing was not such as could
be very seriously injured by the in
clement weather ; indeed , her attire
was extremely simple , and indicative
of the strictest possible economy. A
plain dress of black merino , well fit
ted and tastefully made , and a straw
hat trimmed with poppies , showed
her to be one of those little sewing
girls whose honest poverty obliges
them to make their own clothes.
Martha Duflou such was the young
girl's name was a pink of neatness
from her bare white hands to her
carefully'polished low shoes.
It was only ten o'clock at
night , and the street was almost
deserte'd. A younn man came hurry
ing along , and although he had an um
brella he ran for shelter from the rain
to the doorway where Martha stood.
He Has so absorbed in watching the
progress of the thunderstorm that he
had hardly noticed the girl when a
dazzling flash of lightning , .followed
immediately by n terrible peal of
thunder , illuminated the street and at
the same instant a shrill cry ranjj
through the air.
' Merciful Heaven ! " exclaimed the
young girl , "I cannot see it is all dark
the lightning has burnt my eyes I
am blind ! "
Instances of this kind , though com
paratively rare , are by no means un
known in the hibtory of medicine ; sud
den blindness caused by a stroke of
lightning is sometimes curable , but
when it results from paralysis of the
optic nerve there is but little chance of
recovery.
A flood of tears followed the sighs
arsd moans of the terrified girl as she
reflected that she could no longer earn
her living. She could not even find her
wa > home without help. What waste
to become of her ? Must she beg her
bread ?
Bertram ! Camusard was a young
clerk , and being accustomed to the
dissipations of Paris , was ever on the
watch fora trick. When , therefore ,
the young girl bemoaned her fate , he
looked at her curiously. Her face
was not in the least disfigured , The
large dark eyes shone brilliantly , a
.sliiitit flush relieved the whiteness of
her skin , and her features were small
and regulai. She was very pretty , he
found.
' 'Is there no one to help me ? " she
said piteously , extending her hand.
"Do not cry , mademoiselle , " ' nn-
sv/cred Uwtraiul , in a soothing tone ,
"I will take yon home as if I were your
dog. "
"Oh , thank you , sir. "
"Where do you live ? "
"At Xo. 120 , Lacondamine Street. "
"That is close to my house , " said
.Bertram ! to himself , then he added
aloud , "The rain lias stopped , will
you take my arm ? "
As they walked tiieyoung man look
ed at his fair charge in surprise ; if she
was acting a part , she was doing it to
perfection. Leaning on his arm in a
charmingly confiding Avay , she told
him that bhe was aiTorph.in , that she
had lately arrived from the country
with no baggage excepting a letter of
recommendation to a large estabjish-
iiicut where the had received employ
ment.
Her companion paid but little at
tention to her recital , and made a few
jesting remarks about the whiteness
of her dimpled hands and the becom-
insiness of her costume , for he was
firmly convinced that the girl was
playing a trick on him. At last ,
wearied by her sad air. he determined
to treat a * diversion , and also to show
her that he was too thoroughly a
Parisian to be ea-ily duped.
"Let us go and have a ghissof beer , "
lie said gaily.
With an exclamation of dismay the
girl let go his arm and stood still.
"Oh do not try to be so high flown , "
he said , taking her arm to lead her on.
But Martha" drew back in affright
and cried aloud
"Help , help ! "
A ! the sound of her voice another
man. a well-built fellow , came to her
rescue , exclaiming
"Let her go , you rascal. "
He dealt suchhard blows upon the
shoulders of Bertram ! Camusard that
the latter thought best to go his way
without arguing the matter.
Martha then told her story to the
newcomer , who in his turn informed
ifaer that his name was Pierre Carlier ,
and that he was bookkeeper in the.of-
fice of the Western Kailway. He did
iiot , however , mention the fact of his
having been wounded in the face dur
ing the war of 1870 , and of his still
bearing a frightful scar.
Being deeply interested in the helpless -
loss "irl who had talked and listened
to him without knowingofhisdisfigure-
mi-nt , which had always rendered him
X
repulsive to women , he took her to
her lodgings , nml on leaving her at the
uoor , asked nenni.ssion to return the
next day. She assented willingly , for
the sincerity of his voice and manner
inspired her with confidence.
Tin ; next morning Carlier brought a
physician to examine the young girl's
eyes , and his decision that the re
covery of her .sight was doubtful , and
would at best be slow filled her with
anxiety. Who would provide for her
while she was unable to work ? Pierre
Carlier read the question in her face
and answered quicklyr-
_ "Do not be alarmed ; your emploj'er
will allow you your regular wanes
while you are under treatment. Tlfat
is the custom ; I will go to him mj'self
and explain matters. "
A few hours later he came back and
f reported that the head of the firm had
promised not only to keep the girl's
situation for her , but also to pay all
her expenses till she was able to work
again. Medical treatment was begun ,
and Carlier came to her regularly with
her wages. It was but natural that
lie should stay and talk with her , for
Martha Duflou had no friend in Paris
excepting him , and she was glad to tell
him of her doubts and fears. Gradu
ally his visits became longer and more
frequent , and the friendly sympathy
already existing between these two af
flicted ones , the blind and the disfigur
ed , soon developed into sincere and
ardent love. She was in ignorance of
the terrible scar on his face , and his
gentle kindness and devotion won her
heart.
Three months passed , and still
Martha was not cured , and at last
she began to wonder that her former
employer kept on paying her without
making any direct inquiries as to her
condition. A suspicion of the truth
crossed her mind , and one day she
commissioned the janitress of the
house to co to the store and discover
how the matter stood.
That evening , when Pierre Carlier
came to see her she was deluged in
tears.
"I have found you out. " she said.
"Oh , how generous and noble of you
to let me think that the money you
brought came from an employer who
is utterly heartless ! But , indeed , you
ought not to have put such a debt up
on me ; it is absolutely necessary now
for me to regain my sight that i may
be able to pay you what I owe. "
"You can more than repay me ,
very easily , if you will , " he answered
gently.
"How can J ? "
"By marrying me. "
"You cannot mean that ! " she ex
claimed in astonishment.
When he repeated his words she be
gan to ciy with joy.
"I have not seen your face , " she
said at last , "but I am sure thatcit
reflects the goodness of your heart.
I will be vour wife on one condition. "
"Whatf is that ? "
"That we are not married until I
have recovered my sight. "
Her decision filled her lover with
dismay , and involuntarily he almost
wished that she should remain blind ,
for he could not bear to think of see
ing her turn away from him in disgust
the first time she beheld his face.
"Let us be married at once , " he said
earnestly. "We shall be so happy.
What is the use of waiting longer ? "
But Martha was inflexible.
"I have already been too much of a
burden to you , " she said ; "I will not
consent to becoming a millstone fast
ened to your neck. Jf I cannot be
cured at all , I will disappear , and you
will never hear of me again. "
"A suicide ? ] ) o you wish me to die
in despair ? " he cried.
But Martha felt sure that she would
be cured suddenly , miraculously , and
she longed to be able to give her lover
a joyful surprise.
It was the first Sunday in May.
Spring was just decking the shrubs
and trees in beautiful attire , and the
meadows had begun to smile under
the sun's rays.
Martha had promised to go for a
walk in the country with Pierre , and
he said to her alittle wistfully :
"What a pity it is that you cannot
see the loveliness of nature , for that
would decide you not to postpone
our happiness longer. "
' I can hear the birds sing , and
smell the perfume of the flowers , " had
been the answer of the blind girl.
The appointed time had arrived ,
and Pierre had called for his beloved.
What was his surprise to find that she
had taken all the bandages from her
eyes , and he fancied that she gave a
slight start as she turned toward him.
' "Can she see ? " he thought , growing
pale with apprehension.
-What is the matter , dear ? Ah , I
know ; you are astonished at my hay
ing no bandage on my eyes. There is
no use in wearing it. I shall never see
better than 1 do now. The doctors
can do no more for me. And Pierre ,
I will not keep you waiting any long
er ; if you wish we can be married at
once. "
In his delight Carlier imagined that
her eyes were smiling upon him , but
the next instant he laughed at his
own folly supposing that she wquld
speak thus if she could see him ,
The wedding took place four weeks
from that day. When it was over ,
and the pair were told to sign their
names in the register , Pierre took
hold of the blind bride's hand to lead
her to the book , but she turned away
from him , savins
"Let me alone ; I can find it my
self. "
Then to hia amazement , she went
straight to the desk and took up the
peii."You
"You are not blind , " he whispered ,
you can see my scar ! "
"Oh , I saw that a month ago. " she
said , smiling at his distress , and then
added softly , "Are you quite snreiaovv
that I love you , Pierre ? "
It is reported that several years since
a gardener discovered that by planting
his squash-seeds in earth that had a
layer of coal ashes a"bove and below
it , the vines were not molested by
cutworms.

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM * '
Sudden Appearance of Numerable
Tall Women in Public Places.
The number of tall women to be
seen on Broadway is remarkable.
Where do they all come from ? It is
the fashion to be tall and straight and
slender and willowy , because it is a
style well adapted to thebest display
of the latest things in Parisian
millinery and dress goods. But have
women the power to suddenly grow
taller in order to meet a prevailing
fashion half way , as they might
blondine their hair ? It certainly
looks like it. For there never was a
time when so many tall women could
be seen. They run all the way fro in
5 feet G to 0 feet 2. You can mcot (3
feet women in couples by the dozen
on Broadway any afternoon. By the
side of the ordinary run of men these
women look 0 feet 0.
There are two theories for the
sudden excess of tall women one that
some mechanical process has been
discovered and is being secretly
practiced by which stout women are
drawn out into long and slender fe
males ; the other , that these women
have always existed and are now
suddenly brought forth from their
retirment by the inexorable decree of
fashion. The latter would seem to
be the more reasonable explanation.
When it was the fashion for women
to be embonpoint the tall and slender
woman hid herself away fvQin public
gaze as much as possible , bhe shrunk
into her boots and walked stoop-
shouldered when she was to be seen in
public places. Now that she has her
inning she is making good use of it.
She is everywhere. She walketh erect
at noonday also in the evening.
When she has a beau she chooses one

THE LAST TO SURRENDER.
The Three Confederates Who Came
Out of the Dismal Swamp in July ,

While there are not a few indica
tions that skirts are likely to be less

draperies will pel-serve the effect of
slanderness now in vogue for some
time to come. Observing eyes ha.ve .

season's styles have gradually under
gone steadily approaching a repeti
tion of toilets in vogue in the time of
Louis Philippe , the main feature
of which are a moderately full cor
sage , with large high sleeves , and a
plain fourreau skirt with a ruche or
narrow frill at the hem. At the mo
ment the corsage is given the most at
tention by the modiste. All varieties
are popular , and will be throughtont

After a good1 deal of laughter the

Frayed Collars and Cuffs.
Worn linen isa most deceptive
addend in the sum total of apparel.
A pair of old cuffs will look so bewitchingly -
ingly respectable after a visit to a ,
good laundry that you will take
them up with thankful tenderness
and adjust them while a look of be
nignity wanders all over them.
"Didn't know I ever could wear
them again" you say , and you feel .so
satisfied at having counted one against
that dreadful opponent , the raggedy
man. Of course you have felt just so ,
and just as surely as you have
glanced down soon after and found
your wrists encircled by a pair of
soiled and shaggy cutt's. A little rub
here and a little rub there , a few
grains of dust from mother earth and
a benediction from a raindrop and
your cutt's have gone back whence
they came from outside the pale of
respectability. Next time you treat
those cuffs as exposed falsifiers , but
somefmeday when a spasm of economy
is contracting the muscles which open
your purse you'll get caught again ,
see if you don't. Toronto Globe !
First Listener to Jenny Lind's Sing
ing.
"Jenny Lind" to use the name by
which she -became famous all the
world over was born of poor parents
at Stockholm in 1820 , and at three
years of age first betrayed her musical
aptitude by picking out on the keys of
a piano a military fanfare which had
attracted her attention as some soldi
ers marched along the street. The
first listener to her singing was the
domestic cat , to which she sans when
she believed herself to be alone , and it
was the overhearing of this singing
that suggested the idea of her being
educated for the musical staiie.

sure to the offensive emanations from
cholced drains and soil pipes. There
is no gas in the sewer that may not be
encountered outside ofit , and neither
typhoid excreta nor tuberculous sput-
ems give forth more dangerous eman
ations in decomposing than any other
organic substance. The air of a well
ventilated sewer , in fact , is far less
unwholesome that that of crowded
schools or churches , or even the houses
of half of Glasgow's population.

The phenomenon of musical sands ,
which has only attracted scientific at
tention during the last few years , is
found to be very common. Drs. II. C.
Bolton and A. A. Juiien , who have
given especial attention to the subject ,
have now collected 610 samples of such
sands from different parts of the world ,
while reports from eighty-five beaches
in the United States have shown them
that sixty-five are famous for musical
sands. Tothseye a patch of this sand
is lilce any other , yet a blind man who
is deaf and dumb can easily distinguish
it by a distinct vibration , or tickling
sensation , communicated to hands or
feet. From about 500 samples exam
ined , it appears that the sounds
which are produced by friction and
vary in pitch with the amount of sand
acted upon do not depend upon a par
ticular variety of sand , but upon a
condition into which the sand gets.
Kolled in a bag , one specimen of musi
cal sand gave a whoop-like sound audi
ble for about 420 feet. Yet this sand
unless bottled lost its power in a
few hours after being taken from the
beach , and also became soundless on
the slightest admixture of fine powder
or of moisture.

Locusts In Africa.
Though mankind may avoid a repe
tition of the great locust plagues of
history , such , for iiibtunce as that
near the close of the last century , in
which the locusts drowned on one part
of the African coast were washed up
in a bank fifty miles long and four or
live feet high , or that early in the
Christian era , which resulted in the ,
death of 800,000 persons such plagues
have not yet entirely lost their terrors.
Recent alarm has therefore been caused'
in Egypt by the most serious visita
tion recorded for forty years , and has
been increased by the fact that swarms
of locusts , instead of being migratory ,
seem , to have developed from eggs laid
in the country last year. Every effort
will be made to exterminate the creatures
turesbefor great damage is done.
While investigating the locust plague
in Algeria , a member of the French
academy , . M. Kunckel Ilercnlais , is re- '
pouted to have fallen asleep from ex
haustion , when he was attacKea by a
swarm of locusts from which he was
unable to < escape. When his corpse
was found the insects had completely
devoured his hair , beard ana necktie.

Pretty strong
reasons for trying Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place , it cures your catarrh
no matter how bad your case ,
or of how lonp- standing ; . It
O O
doesn't simply palliate it
cures. If you believe it , so
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for 50 cents , from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured , and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of Dr. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong , you get the cash. If
