Until he reached manhood, John lived on the farm with his father, and it was not uncommon to see him driving to the city with a load of corn, wheat or other farm product. A piece of ground was given to him and each year he would plant and cultivate a big garden, which he would market in Clinton, and place the proceeds to his credit in a bank in Clinton. He would buy horses, cattle and hogs, and even when he was a boy he was regarded as a good trader. It is now a common occurrence for him to stop in the middle of the road and trade horses with some jockey, and it is said he is never worsted. When he decides to come to town, he goes to the woods and with as little difficulty apparantly as a man blessed with two eyes, selects which horse he wants from a dozen grazing in the pasture. Three years ago, during harvest, the blind man’s brother became entangled in the machinery of a harvester and suffered a broken arm. As soon as the accident oc curred, John started on a run from the field to the barn and began hitching a team to a spring wagon. He worked rapidly and when the men bore his injured brother to the house, the blind boy had the team hitched up, driven out in the road and ready to start with his brother to a doctor in the city. He drove almost at breakneck speed, made the turns of the streets after reach¬ ing the city, and brought his horse to a standstill in front of a doctor’s office. After assisting the wound¬ ed brother up the stairway into the office, he drew out his watch, slid the index finger quickly around the wasTrrnV-* mmutes driving to town.” There is no work on the farm that the blind man cannot do, and during idle times he builds and repairs fences.— Indianapolis News.

The making of wood into wood pulp and thence into paper set in¬ ventors to thinking, and a result is the discovery of the transformation of wood fibres into strong and handsome cloth, The wood is boiled, crushed and the fibres sepa¬ rated in parallel lines, dried and spun, the same as cotton or wool. Oak, hickory and locust make a very handsome cloth, while bam¬ boo produces one that is almost iron-like in its strength and elastic¬ ity. The cost of the new process is not large, but is still a little above that of converting cotton or linen into substantial tissues. Some Figures on Rainfall.
