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.

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, as if they had perfect eyesight They cut timber in the woods, made rails, the light sands that are mixed with oxide of tin, till only 25 or 89 per cent, of foreign matter is left Tho mineral thus enriched is melted In little brick fnmaces, with the aid of a bellows of bamboo, which is worked by a coolie os if it were a syringe.

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.
