tor to tho Oinmnatti Oi.mmcndal
Tribune. A notable homecoming
it was, for wit hin a month a mir
acle of science had been perform
ed, and the priceless Idessing of
sight lmd been given to eyes that
from birth had been sightless.
On April 2 I John Cr.rruth left
his homo at Croft Head, bridge
of Weir, for tho Ophthalmic In
stitution, Glasgow. From amid
the beauties of nature, of whose
glories lie could not tell, he went
to dwell in the gloomy building
planted in the midst of business
oflices in West Regent street,
Glasgow, and hero, after opera
tions the success of which forms
one of the sensations of the surgi
cal world today, he enjoyed his
first vision of things on earth.
In his humble home last night
he told the.story of bis discovery
to your correspondent. Could
those who are bored with the
sights of tho day, for whom city
and country life alike have lost
their charm, have beheld the over
whelming joy of this man who, at
the age of 80, saw for the first
time the place in which he had
spent his days, it is probable that
they would themselves have found
at that moment an entirely new
and contented interest in life.
1 [ehvas brought from the insti
tution by his mother, and proudly
he walked with her down the vil
lage street to their home in a cot
tage at the extreme end of Bridge
of Weir. Here in the large kitch
en he was received with gladness
by his sister, whom he beheld for
the first time, and his first act
was to go through to the garden in
which, in his days of darkness, he
had spent so many hours of labor.
There he related how he had
worked when blind. He had
grown flowers and sent them to
market, he had even delivered
parcels for a grocer, taking them
out in a van and delivering them
without a mistake. Following
this came the tale of his own and
his mother’s long hope that some
day and in some way, they knew
not how, his sight would I>0 re
stored.
They did not know of such
places as the Opthalmic Institu
tion, dwelling here in the most
out-of-way part of an isolated vil
lage, but they vaguely felt, so
Carruth himself says, that some
thing would occur, and so it did.
j a medical student came on the
j scene and stayed at the village and
I heard of Carrutha work and his
blindness from birth. The rest is
soon told.
Through t he agency of the stu
dent and through Dr. Maitland
llamsey (consulting surgeon), and
I)r. Si0wart- (Glasgow Infirmary),
John Carruth can now behold the
beauties of the world in which he
dwells, recognizes those friends
| whom he has hitherto only known !
i by touch and sound of voice and
■ behold the colors and beauty of
j the flowers he has cultivated.
The first face he saw was that
of Dr. Stewart. He did not know
1 what it was at first, hut when tho
| doctor spoke ho knew that

ruth, “all was so beautiful.’
'hen the dav after the operation
That was the day the bandage
were removed. Then Carrut h be-j
held the first woman lie had over)
seen, tfhe \Vas Nurse MM lor. “1 |
knew she was a woman, because 1
her face was pale and smooth. I
was too long in seeing Dr. Ram
say. I wish I could have seen his
face first.
No words were too good for
’•nurse” or for all the nurses.
Ami his mother! With what
emotion he spoke of the first time
he saw her, “1 kind of -surprised
her.” lie said proudly. “She
came to the ward and said: ‘How
are you getting oh?’ (Veil, I had
a peep at lu-r sideways and asked
her how many wrinkles she had on f
her brow. Then she said, joy
fully: ‘You can &oe. How can
you tell? Can you c< unt them?’ 1
could not see aye enough for that,
but 1 could see her dear face.”
Poor Carruth. He was nearly
in tears as he told of this, the i
most pathetic incident of his re
covery. His mother is lovely, he
says. How delightful is this
phase of his new-found vision.
Then what does he think of
women now that he first beholds
them? They are very beautiful,
he says. “They all seem so good.
1 think the world and tho people
in it are fine. 1 have always (this
with a touch of pride) thought a
great deal of the ladies, and now
■it is so good to seo their faces, to
look at them in their fine dresses.
“They always told me women
were my best friends, and I al
ways knew they wore, now 1 know
it more than ever. They are so
kind and gentle, beautiful and
graceful.”
What did he think of the earth?
“Oh, it is lovely. Bo much love
lier and greater than I had ever
thought or imagined. 1 am sur
prised and overjoyed. I had nev
er thought there was such diff'er-
ence and variety in the appearance
of things. Coining homo I was
really overwhelmed as wo rushed
past the green fields and trees.

Then Carruth has seen the king
and queen. That is a great thing
for him. He looks upon it as al
most a royal blessing on his re
covery, and as the brightest
promise of a happy future. He
saw the royal procession in Glas
gow from a window above a chem
ist’s shop. “Simply splendid,”
said Carruth. “I nearly cried for
j°y-”
Poor Carruth’s language fails to
describe all that he has seen since
that first wonderful flash which
came upon him in the somber
ward of the eye institution. But
the crowds-—these impressed Car-
l’uih. He had 110 idea there were
so many persons ou the earth.
“Whey, they are all round about
me.” The cavalry escort of their
majesties was wonderful, and
above all the colors astonished
him.
In short, Carruth, the man of
80, is hut a child. He is learning
every moment. Already he can
tell the time, and has copied his 1
own name on the blackboard. He
has come into the world anew
with all lus faculties, and although
to some extent he is guided by his
imaginings, yet all the earth is as
strange to him as it is to tho dawn- j
ing intelligence of gifted child
hood.

Mow To Kiss.
. By Johnnie (Jr,
Thousands upon thousands of
well educated people go through
life and never learn the art of kiss
ing, an accomplishment m our ex
perience worth mare than all the
learning of the great Sanhedrim.
Very true people do extract some
pleasure out of a kiss, hut they
never feol that blissful rapt me that
tingle* and dances along every
nerve from the medulla oblongata
to the very termini of Ihu great
sciatic.
Every son of fallen humanity
should feel and know tho ecstatic
joy. The following rule is freely
given to all those who have Hi mi -
derod over a simple littU kiss. It
is absurd to to think how few peo
ple pcrfofrn kissing correctly. All
men of sentiment read carefully:
It makes not a pavliclc-of difler-i
cnee whether your girl is young
or old, homely or beautiful, low or
tall, thick or thin, the oolyubsolute
requisite is love. To make a kiss
a success she must lend a helping
hand and not dodge, or squeal as
if she objected. Not a word iiaiust
be spoken. Never be in a 'hurry
haste mars everything.
Put your right arm over her
left shoulder and clasp her right
hand with your left. The arm must
now slide slowly down her back to
her waist—but don’t be in a hurry.
Send n little thrill down your arm
and press her close to your .heart.
Look lovingly into her eyes and
bend your head till your lips al
most touch hers—till you feel her
soft balmy breath. Let your
mustache sweep lightly across her
lips by way of preliminary—but
do not hurry. Aim fairly and hit
squarely. Let the four lips come
softly together and smack, so to
speak, into the sweetest homogeiu#
ousness. Look tenderly into her
upturned eyes, whiloevery tendon,
muscle and nerve quivers with de
light and fancy bathos her plu
mage in a sea <:f bliss and soars
through an atmosphere redolent of
where every passion and ap
petite inherited in Adam’s fall is
relined and all is swallowed up in
love—and you arc a natural born
iiliot if you hurry now,
“Humid seal of soft effeution;
Tcmlercet pledge of future bliss;
Dearest tie of young connection;
Love’s first snowdrop, virgin’* -
kiss.”
To every man of so*''
