Hér stool was withdrawn by a fellow worker from under her. Shefoll and. struck her head. The force of the blow causedan pressure of the skull on the optic nerve and she lost her sight, Twelve years later che fell from the top to the bottom of a cellar steps. A medical man, who was called in said she had shaken the optie nerve and declared that if he could give der a blow on the head her sight might be restoged. He dared not try the experi- mond however, as it might jeppardize her reason. Now Miss Goodyear "has fallen down a flight of stairs again Her fall was followed. by severe pains in the head, and the sudden return of sight, just in time to see her mother before the latter's death, Her sight is excellent once' more, and she has no need Tor "spectacles, JAIL RECORD.

Paris, Oct. 20~"Drunk and disor derly" was the charge against Jul Ploudal, and "drunk and interrupting traflic'" was the charge against his donkey when both were brought before the commissary of police, Pioudal and his beast of burden were discovered by the police sound asleep by the curb, while the vegetables in, the cart were spilled all over the Sgeet, und a jeor ing erowd stood around. The man was waked up and made to walk to the police station, but thera was no reviving the donkey, so he was unhiteched and allowed to sleep off his too potent libation. Pioudal explained tq the magistrate that he thought it was selfish of a fellow to get drunk all by himseli, 'and that he always treated hid donkéy whenever he had a drink himself, The animal, he de clared, had only a quart of "red wine with sugar in it, but it seemed some how. to have gone to kis head.
