6 THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, MAY I, 1«91. Tli«* Only Caw on Record. A curious surgical case is thzt pre sented by Henry Breen, of Fort Wayne. He suffers from aneurism of the orbit and his is the only case of the kind re ported by physicians. He has received many letters inviting him to appear be fore medical colleges, so they can exain- ime and study aneurism of the orbit, but as ho fears that the blood vessel back of the orbit may burst at any momeut and thus end his life he lias preferred to re main under the care of surgeons at home. Breen was a brakeman on the Wabash railroad, and while engaged in coupling cars at Cecil, O., he was caught between the steps of the caboose and the end of a saw log which extended over a flat car, and his skull was fractured. After a long and painful illness he rallied sufficiently to walk about, but it was found that the cords of the left eye were paralyzed and refused to perform their natural functions. The affliction grew worse and Mr. Breen went to Springfield, Ills., where the Illinois surgeons were holding their annoal convention. He was ex amined by 173 surgeons, who pronounced his case “aneurism of the eye, only one on record. He was put under the influence of opiates and an iron collar was placed about bis neck, to which was attached h thumb screw which was pressed over the orbit to stop the rush of blood. He was thus kept for forty-eight hours, but his case was pronounced incurable. He is now at his home in Fort Wayne. Breen is a man of strong muscular de velopment. and would appear to have more than the average man’s chances for longevity. He is not disposed to be melancholy over his condition, and says that he may ontlive the entire Spring- field convention. At any rate, he has the strange distinction of being the only man alive who wears a collar innde at a black smith shop.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat Boys Worry m Chestnut Vender. The life of the chestnut and peanut vender is a hard one, especially when the street arabs of tough bat tender years band together and swoop npon him in serried array and compact sally. A specimen of the “lately landed” order stood before his caldron wanning his five digits and nursing the glowing chestnut when a band of young urchins sallied by. One gave a quick kick at the stand as they passed, which made it tot ter. The Italian in charge mado an ef fort to save it, bat it went sprawling, tossing ont the lascioas nuts upon the street This was the grand strategic effect songht for by the urchins, as it put the vender in a hesitating position. If he chased the boys he left the stand, and if he went to the Rtand he left the nuts. The vender hesitated a moment, and the little band of young arabs waited to see what ho would do, prepared to scatter into complete indefi niteness. The vender chose to look to his stand, and his doing so was a signal to the youngsters. Like crows to the prey they swooped down upon the nuts in triumph, and with bowls and hoots filled their pockets to the full, pay ing little heed to the forceful ejacula tions of the vender.—New York Times. ft I* Hard in Want** It. Some advertisers nave an idea that only copies going-to paid np subscriber; are useful to them. This is not quite so. For example, suppose a journal has 25,- 000 actual subscribers to whom tho paper goes regularly. Sujqmse it prints 5,000 extra copies a week, which are sent as specimens to good parties, whose ad dresses are supplied by its agents and readers, and mails 5,000 one week to one set of persons, the next week to anothei set of 5.000 and so on. In this way *?60.- 000 extra persons are reached .during the year, while If the extra 5.000 were sent every week to 5.000 paying subscribers only that number could Ik* reached. In the former case 285.000 [tenons are reached. In the latter case only 30,000 all told. A person receiving a copy of a journal which he has not teen liefore, with a request to examine it. will tisoally look all through it, advertisements and all. Such a coarse is as useful to the yearly advertiser os if his card yrere sent to the whole 285,000 persons, or even more so. for his single loose card receives far less attention than would be found and the j„ the columns of a reputable journal —Orange Jndd Farmer. A Common Sense View. Nearly every business has its “dull season." during which a good advertise ment will do faithful work day and night, rain or shine, in familiarizing consumers with the name, location anf specialties or advantages of the adver tiser, so that when the time to bay comes he reaps the benefit of his seed sowing. —Azro Goff's Circular. A Deer on the Track. While extra train No. 071 was coming east Sunday afternoon a few miles east of Mast Hope. on the Delaware division, Engineer Edward Taylor espied a largo deer descending the almost perpendicu lar bluff on the north side of the track. The deer reached the track a few yards in advance of the engine, and thoee on the engine expected to see it ran down, but instead it started down the track in advance of the train for a distance of a quarter ot a mile, and then bounded down the bank toward the river. The mta oa the engine nv the deer until the train went ont of sight It was a back with five prongs, and must have weighed in the neighborhood of C00 pounds. It seemed to be greatly fa tigued, and was probably started np by a party of h on ten in the heavy woods back of Hast Hope. Taylor and his firemanconfidently expected to haves saddle of venison for their Thanksgiving dinner.—Port Jervis (N. Y.) Gazette. The Farm Tools, It would seem as If, after years of good counsel on the subject some farmer! would at least take the hint and look af. ter the farm tools—particularly after the season's work is done; bnt it will require a good deal of preaching from the text before “conversion" is accomplished. So one would think who rides far in almost any direction this time of tho year. Mowers and horse rakes still pnt in the fields, plows astride a rail fence, barrows leaning np against trees—these are some of the not uncommon objects which one may see on some forms. Get them in, give a coat of paint where needed, and save dollars.—Independent. II All Take. Time. Don't be prejudiced.
