EATS CANDY AND GOES BLIND The r collar Result Which Follow a Kew York Child's Indulgence. Emma Zin.erman, a 4-year-old girl of Bath leacli, which is now a part of the city of Brooklyn, has one of the strangest afflictions on record. The little one cannot eat anything sweet like a piece of candy, or pie, or fruit without becoming blind for three days. Her remarkable complaint, it is said, has so far baffled the skill of the physicians. She is now tinder the care of a New York specialist, but he has not been able as yet to give her any relief. While playing with some of her little companions three days ago Emma ate a piece of candy, and as a result a spell of blindness was brought on, from which she has not fully recovered. It was about a year ag-o that Emma's disease first manifested itself. She became suddenly blind, and then, after three days, as mysteriously recovered her sight Over her eyes came a filmy White covering that gradually increased in thickness, until it produced total blindness, after which it began to grow more transparent, and finally went away. After the girl had been afflicted with several of these spells a specialist was engaged. He was at first utterly at a loss to account for the disappearance of sight, but by a series of experiments with food he demonstrated that sweetmeats were the exciting cause of the blindness. Since then, al though great care is exercised, Emma once in a while forgets the dire results that follow the eating of forbidden dainties, and pays the penalty of her rash thoughtlessness by losing her sight for seventy-two hours. THE ART OF REMEMBERING. All Sort of Frttemi Have lieen In Use From Time Immemorial. The art of rendering artificial aid to the memory by a ociatinj in the minds things difficult to remember with those which are easy of recollection is said to have originated with the Egyptians. The first person to reduce it to a system was, according to Cicero, the poet Simonides, who lived 500 IJ. G His plan is 1 cnown as the topical, or locality plan, and was in substance as follows: Choose a largo house, with a number of differently furnished apartments in it. Impress upon the mind carefully all that is noticeable in the house, so that the mind can readily go over all its parts. Then place a series of ideas in the house; the first in the hall, the next in the si tting-roora, and so on with the rest. Now when one wishes to recall these ideas in thir proper succession, commence going through the house, and the idea placed in each department will be found to readily recur to the mind in connection with it. It is related that the mnemonic plan was first suggest! to the poet by a tragic occurrence. Having been called from a banquet just before the roof of the house fell and crushed all the rest of the company, lie found on returning that the bodies were so mutilated that no individual could be recognized; but by remembering the places which they had severally occupied at the table, ho was able to identify them. Ho was thus led to notice that the order of placs may by association suggest the order of things.

A man presented himself to a Chicago coroner, and asked what the chances were for securing a job as a juror. Ho said he had triei everything els3 and failed. The bodies of Greeks, when not burned, were placed in earthenware coffins and burieJ in tombs along the highways.

I., was at one time officer on a Massachusetts whaler and lost one of his legs by getting mixed up with a rope that was attached to a wounded whale. When James Freeman Clarke and Dr. Holmes wera in college together once they were talking of metaphysics, when Holmes exclaimed: tell j-ou, James, what I think metapyhsics is like.

"I make it an invariable practice to advise people to sleep with their bedroom window open all the year round." "Ha, ha!" laughed the other; "I perceive that you are a doctor!" "Not at all," was the confidential reply. "To tell you the truth, strictly between ourselves, I am a burglar!" MRS. GRUNDY SAYS That many a modern coat-of-arms requires several reference books.
