The next minute large rain-drops be
0ait to pelt the faces of the passers, and
to speckle with gray spots the dusty
granite of the sidewalks.
A pretty brunette, about twenty
yean old, overtaken by the unexpected
shower, hastened to seek refuge iu a
hospitable doorway.
Her clothing was not such as eonld be
very seriously injured by the inclement
weather; indeed, her attire was extreme
ly siuple, and indicative of the strict
est possible economy. A plain dress of
black merino, well fitted 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.
.Vartha Duflou such was the yjung
girl's name, was a pink of neatness
from her bare white hands to her care
fully polished low shoos.
It was only ten o'clock at night, and
the street was almost deserted. A
young man came hurrying along, and
although he had an umbrella he ran for
shelter from the rain to the doorway
where Martha stood. He was so ab
jorbed in watching the progress of the
thunder storm that he had hardly no
ticed the girl when a dazzling flash of
lightning, followed immediately by a
terrible peal of thunder, illuminated
the street and at the same instant a
shrill cry rang through the air.
'Merciful Heaven:, exclaimed the
young girl, "1 cannot see it is all dark
the lightning has burnt my eyes 1
am blind."
Instances of this kind, though com
paratively rare, are by no means un
known in the history 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
of the terrified girl as she reflected that
she could no longer earn her living.
She could not even lind her way home
without help. What was to become of
her? Must she beg her bread V
Bertram! Camrsard was a young
clerk, and being accustomed to the dis

watch for a trick.
When, therefore, the young girl "je

curiously. Her face was not in the
least disfigured. The large dark eyes
shone brilliantly, a slight flush lelieved

"Oh, thank you, sir."
"Where do you live?"
"At o 1-6, Lacondamine Street."
"That is close to my house," said Ber
trai d to himself, then he added Uoud,
The rain has stopped, will you take
my arm?"
As they walked the young man
looked at his fair charge in surprise; if
she was acting a part the was doing it
to perfection. Leaning on his arm in
a charmingly confiding way, she told
him that she was an orphan, that she

sad fir, he determined to create a di

"Let us go and have a glass of beer,"
he said gaily.

girl let go his arm and stood s UV

soon developed into sincere and ardent
love. Hie was in ignorance of the ter

Three months passed and still Martha
was not cured, and ai last she began to
wonder that her former employer kept
on hoping her without making any di
rect inquiries as to 1 er condition. A
; suspicion of the truth crossed her mind,
ami otio day she commissioned the
janitress of the house to go to the store
and discover how matters stood.
That evening, when l'ierre Carlier
came to see her sho was deluged in
tears.
"I have found you out," she sai d
"Oh, how generous and noble of you to
let me tliiiik 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 at solutely necessary now
for me to regain my sight that 1 may
be able to pay you what I owe."
"You can more than repay me, very

"How can 1"

"You cannot mean that!" she ex
claimed in astonishment.
When he repeated his words she be
gan to cry with joy.
"I have not seen your face," she said
at last, "hut I am sure that it reflects
the goodness of your heart. I will be
your wife on one condition."
"What is that?"
"That we are not married until 1
have recovered my sight.
Her decision tilled her lover with dis
may, and involuntarily he almost
wished that she would remain blind,
for he could not bear to see her turn in
disgust the first time she beheld his
face.
"Let us be married at once," lie said
earnestly. "We shall be so happy
AVhat is the use of waiting longer?"
But Martha was inflexible.
"1 have already beeu too much of a
burden to you," she said; "I will not
consent to become a millstone fastened
to your neck. If I cannot be cured at,
all, I will disappear, aiid you will never
hear of me again."
"A suicide? Do you wish me to die
in despair?" he cried.
But Martha felt snre that sho 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 wag just decking the shrubs
and trees in beautiful attire, and the
meadows had begun to smile under the

Martha had promised to go for a

he said to her a little 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 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
bad taken all the bandage from ber
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 matttr, dear? Ah, I

It is a mistake to eat quickly. Masti
cation performed in haste must be im
perfect even with the best of teeth,
and due admixture of the salivary se
cretion with food can not take place.
When a crude mass of inadequately
crushed muscular liber, or undivided
solid material of any description, is
thrown into the stomach, it acts as a
mechanical irritant, and sets up a con
dilion in the mucous membrane lining
of that organ which greatly impedes
if it does not altogether prevent, the
process of digestion.
Whe.i the practice of eating quickly
and tilling the stomach with unprepared
food is habitual the digestive organ is
rendered incanable of performing its
proper functions. Either a much larg
er quant ty of food than would be nec
essary under natural conditions is re
quired, or the system suffers from lack
of nourishment. The m.itler may seem
a small one, but it is not so. Just as a
man may go on for vears with defec
tive teeth, im.-erfec-tly masticating his
food and wondering why he suffers
from indigestion, so a man may habitu
ally live under an affliction of hurried
dinners and endure the consequent lots
of health without knowing why he is
not well or how easily the cause of 1 is
illness might be remedied. Medk-aj

More actual food material can be
nroduced from an acre of corn than
from any other of our farm crops
Land capable of producing two tons of
hay, will as a rule, produce 20 tons of
ensilage, having at least 25 per cent of
actual food material. Thus, 40,000 lbs
ensilage equals 10,000 lbs. of dry mat
ter and 4,000 lbs of hay equals 3,000 lbs
of dry matter. The cost of 100 lbs of
dry matter is slightly less in corn than
in hay. 100 lbs of dry matter in ensil
age costing 42c and a like number of
pounds in hay costing 44Jc.
It is well-known that green food is
especially favorable to the production
of milk. Careful experiments compar
ative of the me its of dry hay and
green ensilage gave the following aver
age: The ensilage staion, containing
d lbs of digestible dry matter, pro

There recently died in the OhioState
penitentiary a convict into whose life
was woven a romance, that has had its
sad ending with his death.
Ralph Holmes, a convict serving t
two years sentence, from Ashtabula,
Ohio, for passing counterfeit money,
gave his name a half hour before his
death to the nurse as F. C Guion, of
Connecticut, and asked that his mother
be notified. This was done, and she
ordered his remains sent to Little Falls
X. Y.
The following morhing two well
dressed ladles called to ask the privi
ledge of burying the body. They were
from Ashtabula, and explained that
the convict w as en gaged to be married
to the younger one they were mother
and daughter they had never believed
him guilty, and the wedding was set
for July 4, when his term expired. The
request was refused, but the faithful
finance took a last look at her dead
lover and went away in tears. The
body was sent to his mother, who by
his death, had the first intimation that
he had been in the penitentiary.
Taking a Drive With Grunt
I was a resident of Detroit when the
late Gen. Grant was a captain of infan
try aud stationed at Fort Wayne, the
military post near that city. Grant at
the time owned a pacing pony that
was as fast as a ghost One day he in
vited Bishop McClosky to take a ride
behind the pacer. The bishop weighed
2.0 pounds and was very dignified.
Grant's course lay op Jefferson avenue
to Crosse Point, then, as now, a favo
rite drive. Grant started the pacer up
long before he got beyond the city
limits, and was soon fairly flying along.
I well remember seeing the blihop
holding on to the seat of the buggy
with one band and on to his hat with
the other, while Grant was holding on
to the pony to steady him and not say
ing a word. When the ride was ended
the bishop expressed his thanks to
Grant for the courtsey shown him, but
Grant could never get him into his
buggy again. Poor old McClosky! It
is sad to contemplate that he was com
pelled to die in exile. Few men have
fallen as he did nor created a greater
sensation when they felt
