Dr. Oookin denied early reports that the milk injections are a cure for blindness. Those who are already blind, he said, may not hope for the restoration of their sight by this meth- od, but those who are but partially blind from infection or penetration, or those in whose eyes the Infection has Just been discovered, have good rea- sons to hope that their sight will get no worse, and also that sympathetic ophthalmia (affection of the other eye) will be prevented. : For the milk injection treatment, said Br.

The ship chandler at that place, a man with one eye, says Mr. Bildebrand, kept asking what he could do for us. In the end we told him we needed a cook, and as he left he hand- ed us his card, which we found bore the name "Lord Nelson." the ship was too small for safety and resigned.

He made four preliminary sketches before deciding on the pcse and the costume. After the picture had passed into the lady's possession, about the year 1778, she occasionally lent It for exhibitions ; then it dropped out of sight. In 1S41 a well-to-do haberdasher saw the picture In the cottage of an old seamstrMs, who had cut it down to fit a space over her mantel. He bought it for two hun- dred and seventy-flve dollars and ! thirty-five years later sold it to a well- known London firm of art dealers at a profit of over fifty thousand dollars I At this point there enters the sinis- ; ter figure of Adam Worth, an Ameri- I can criminal, who in May. 1875, was ! directing from his luxurious apart- . i ments In London the operations of an i international band of thieves and for- j gers.

In 1SS8 Mr. Rudyard Kipling, then a youug man, was among the visitors at Simla, India. His sister, a nice pretty girl of eighteen â€" writes MaJ. Gen. Sir George Younghusband in Forty Years a Soldier, â€" us&d to rive me a dance now and then, and no I got to know him. Rudyard's mother and sister were there for the staion, and he used to run up for a few days at a time when he could l>e spared. He was then aub-editor of what he called the local rag, the Civil and Military Ga- zette of Lahore. i It was at that time that he wrote Plain Tales from the Hills and De- partmental Ditties. They used to ap- pear on the outside page of the Civil and Military Gazette and curiously enough did not set the hills ablaze. * Some people thought them "raiher funny," and some wondered languidly. ' "WTio the dickens is R. K.V But the tales and ditties gave no offense at all ' for the simple reason that no one re- â-  cognized himself, though he Immedi- ately saw how exactly the cap fitted ; some one else. Rudyard Kipling was so seldom in Simla that I have alwaya felt con- vinced that his sister helped him a' great deal in the ground-work of his ' tales and ditties; she had a more in- timate knowledge than he of Simla and its society. Miss Kipling was a . bright, clever girl, and, though she did , not say much, she saw everything dis- tinctly. She was the bright damsel ' who, when Lord Duflerin asked her why she was no* dancing, replied with a placid smile, "You see I am quite ; young; I am only eighteen. Perhaps when I am forty I shall get some part- '. ners. " This quiet little dig at the middie-aged ladies who pranced about with the Hill captains while their daughters sat out appears in one of i Rudyard Kipling's verses. I It WU3 some years later that a tra- ' veling publisher happened to find the . Plain Tales on an Indian railway book- stall and, grasping the genius of them. ^ arranged to republish them. From that moment Rudyard Kipling became famous. ; For; SALE.

He reflected tor a moment and then said he thought cauliflowers, and brussels sprouts all originated In the wild cabbage, a na- tive of the coast and the South of Eng- land.
