Tlielr Remarkable Powers, Which Attracted
the Attention of Selentlflo Men Seventy
Tears Ago—The Death of the last One
Brings Out the Story.
“Blind Andrew Twaddle'* remained
seated in his pew otter die benediction,
and his friends and neighbors passed
down tho aisles. With a calm smile
upon his aged face, his large eyes sight
less no more now than they had been
during the three score years and four of
his life, and turned toward the rude pul
pit, he sat quiet and still in death.
“The Blind Twaddles,” os they wero
known in this neighborhood, was one of
the most remarkable families of this
state, and perhaps of tho United States,
and this was the last one left Sixty or
Borsnty years ago this family attracted
almost universal attention from physi
cians and scientific men generally
throughout the civilized world. The
parents, who have long years ago gone
over to tho majority, had nothing out of
tho common to distinguish them from
their neighbors.
But there wero born to them a largo
family of children, nine in all, and of
these the first seven wero born entirely
blind and the last two bad but partial
eyesight. Scientific man wero utterly
at a loss to account for this phenomenon.
The father and mother had excellent
eyesight, and tho eyes of their children
wero largo brown and bright, but tight-
less. They were without 6ptic nerves.
In all other respects they wore bright,
healthy and intelligent children. The
scientific journals and newspapers of
that day had long accounts and various
theories regarding this, but why it should
havo been so is yet a mystery.
The state of Ohio, by a special act of
its legislature, deeded to the parents for
the support of their children a quarter of
Threshing In Syria.
On the outskirts of each village Is a
level space of ground of sufficient' size to
answer the requirements of the village
which is known by the name of the ha-
yadcr, or threshing floor. Each turner
and peasant has his own particular por
tion marked ofit by a row of stones, and
this portion is religiously handed down
from father to son and jealously guarded
from encroachment. Hither the various
crops are borne on the backs of camels
or donkeys as soon as they are reaped In
the fields, and they are there piled np
into separate sacks to be threshed ont in
toms.
The threshing is a long and tedious
process, occupying several months. It
commences about the beginning of June
and often is not completed till the end
of September or even in some cases till
the middle of October. During all this
time the threshing floor presents a lively,
busy and most pictnreaqno scene. Tho
process is a very primitive one, being
identical with that which was in vogue
in the times of Old Testament history.
Nay, tho hieroglyphic representations on
Egyptian monuments show that the
same method was adopted by the farm
ers of Egypt at least five thousand years
ago.
A flat board something like the bot
tom of a sleigh, with smalt sharp pieces
of basalt firmly let into its under tides.
Is driven round and ronnd upon the sur
face of the corn, which is spread out in a
circle of from six to twenty yards in di
ameter, according to the quantity to be
threshed. A boy rides on the board and
drives the horse or oxen as the case may
be. Meanwhile one or two men stand
in the middlo, and with three pronged
wooden forks turn the com over so as to
expose all portions equally to the action
of the threshing board.—Blackwood’s.

Tin Producing in Malacca.
It did not take long to witness the ex

is extracted. After clearing off the

blind and lived out their long and useful
lives in total darkness, became success
ful farmers, millers, distillers, etc., it
must bo conceded that they were re
markable in more senses than that of be
ing blind.
They were as able to go to any place
upon their farms or to surrounding
towns and perform all their necessary
farm work without attendance or help,

bis for people without tight Many are
the quoer stories recited by old residents
cf Lee, London and Fox townships re
garding feats performed by this family.
Their lands were intersected by numer
ous deep creeks, which were crossed by
foot logs, and these people would go un
hesitatingly anywhere along theso farm
paths, crossing the precarious foot
bridges and treading tho most intricate
ways unerringly.
They could name any tree in the for
ests by feeling of tho bark, select the
best ones for any designed purpose, and
“feU” them in the most convenient man
ner for working. Out of such Umber
they would make rails and build fences
when they desired, having them better
and straightcr than many farmers with
eyes. They could tako to pieces, repair
and place again In working order any
kind of machinery with which they
were called upon to be familiar, and two
of them successfully conducted a flour
ing mill for the farmers of the vicinity
for years.
But perhaps tho most remarkable as
well os the best authenticated of their
acquirements was the power of telling
the colors of animals by touch. They
wero all great lovers of hones, and by
placing their hands upon the roat of a
homo they would instantly tell its color,
and by feeling its bead tell to which sex
it belonged. They were excellent judges
of horses, and by a few slight touches
here and there, and hearing it walk or
trot, would pronounce an infallible opin
ion as to its merits.
„ A P** 1 ““J yean ago one of the
Blind Twaddles” came to this country
town on eomo business. At that time a
famous hostelry was kept here by James
Patton, yet a resident, and Twaddles
stopped and quartered himself and hone
at his tavern. His presenco at the hotel
gave rise to a discussion of his wonder*
ripen, because it is not yet old enough to
stay in their primitive It lg
only now, after no one can toll how
many centuries since tin has been known
and worked in the peninsula, that a
rational system of operating the mines Is
about to be adopted.—M. Bran de Saint
Pol Lias in Popular Science Monthly.
About Chloroforming.
The statement that when a handker
chief is thrown over a man's head he
immediately goes into a trance is inter
esting and raises a curious point Thore
are many lawyers who ore wont to do-
dare that the evidence given from time
to time at criminal trials leaves no
doubt that there exists some drag
which, when spread upon a doth and
placed over the nose and month, imme
diately produces unconsciousness. On
the other hand, chemists assert that
the thing is an impossibility, and that
no such compound has ever been dis
covered.
Chloroform and the other recognized
anaesthetics require at least three dis
tinct inhalations to produce the loss of
sensation. To reconcile this conflict of
testimony seems impossible, unless, in-'
deed, we adopt the sensational theory
that some camorra among the criminal
classes is in possession of a trade secret
as yet unknown to sdence. Probably,
however, this notion is too fantastic, and
we should rather incline to the support-
tion that tho immediate loss of con
sciousness is due to something compar
able to mesmeric action.—Spectator.
