Gemmel in the London Dental Rec- ord. ‘‘A boy, aged 11, complained that he wakened one morning to find he was blind. Previously and on going to bed the night before! there was nothing wrong with his eyes. The pupils were dilated, fixed, not influenced by light, could not tell light from darkness. Tho sud- denness of the attack pointed to functicnal disturbance. Several | causes were looked for, but exami- nation of the mouth showed crowd- ing and wedging of the teeth togeth- er. Two permanent and four tem- porary molar teeth were extracted. The same night he could distinguish light from dark and next day could muke out objects, and in a few days sight ‘was restored.’ He had no oth- er treatment.” TO CURE NERVUUS DYSP PSIA To Gain Flesh, to Sieep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Marc a Test of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.

Louis XVI's Leave Taking From His Wife the Day Before His Execution, Miss Anna L. Bicknell contributes | an article on ‘‘The Last Days of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette” to The Century. Miss Bicknell sayg: | At 8 o'clock the king camé out of the turret and desired that his fam- ily should besummoned; then, with Clery, he went into the dining room, where Clery pushed the table into a corner to give more room and placed chairs in readiness. The king, ever thoughtful and considerate in what concerned the queen, then desired Slery to bring a decanter of water and a glass in case of need. Clery brought iced water, but the king im- mediately said that it might make the queen ill and asked for water without ice. | The queen, holding the little dau- phin by the hand, came in first, fol. lowed by Mme. Elisabeth with Mme. Royale, All had learned the dread- ful truth through the cries of the news venders under their windows. With floods of tears the queen threw herself into the king’s arms and then attempted to draw him into his bedchamber, but he explained that he could receive them all only in the dining room, where the guards could watch them through the glass door. Clery closed it, and they could at least speak without being heard. The king sat down; the queen took her place at his left, with Mme. Elisabeth on the other side; the children were before him. All clung to him, and for some time only a burst of grief was manifest. At last the king spoke. © ‘‘He wept for us,” says Mme. Royale in her narrative, ‘‘but not through fear of death, He related his trial to my mother, excusing the wretches who were about to put him to death. He then addressed reli- gious exhortations to my brother. He especially commanded him to forgive those who were the cause of his death and gave him his bless- ing, as also to me.”’ The child was seen to raise his hand solemnly, the king having re- quired him to take ‘an oath that he would never seek to avenge his death, and the child did so. During the last hours of his-~life Louis X V1 seemed transfigured. His quiet and calm firmness, his truly Christian feelings of forgiveness to- ward his enemies, his faith, his res- ignation, are described with blended | wonder and admiration by all who came near him. The interview, so harrowing to all, had lasted nearly two hours, when, at a quarter past 10, the king rose decidedly, signifying to the weeping women and children that they must leave him to prepare for coming death. The queen entreated to be allowed to spend the night near him, but he firmly refused, saying that he must be alone and calin. : ‘‘] will see you tomorrow morn- ing,’’ he said. ~“You promise this?’’ cried the queen. ‘Yes, I promise; I will see you at 8 o'clock. ’ | “Why not at 7” cried the queen anxiously. “Well, adieu!” The word was uttered with such intense pathos that a fresh burst of grief followed, and Mme. Royale fainted at her father’s feet. Clery flew to raise her, assisted by Mme. Ehsabeth. The king Adieu!” and refuge in bis own bedchamber. then, at 7. But now repeated, ‘‘Adieu! AN ANT’S HEROISM, broke away, taking |." eriny and evening. survey was repeated’ several times in quick succession. The group of | ants gathered more closely together and seemed to be in a state of rest- less anxiety. As the water rose the circuit grew less, the vigil more earnest and the excitement more in-. tense with each return of the senti- nel. They rushed about over each other ina terrible state of agitation, for the water was rapidly approach- ing. There was now hardly room for them to stand on; just a little while and that would be under wa- ter. They ceased struggling, settled down into motionless inactivity and seemed entirely resigned to their fate. I picked up a little stick and laid it across the water to the point where the ants were. They seemed dazed and did not instantly take ad- vantage of the means of escape af- forded them. One then crawled hur- riedly up on the stick and wept its full length out and over the blades of grass on to the dry land. Without a second’s hesitation he turned and re- traced bis steps back to his compan- ions. Now the smallest one of the group returned with him to dry land. They both retraced their steps, and the work of rescue began. The rest seemed passive, entirely subservient to the will of these two. Each, with a companion, hastened out to a place of safety. The small one was much the more active, he rescuing about three to the larger’stwo. Time was precious, as the water was rapidly rising. It would soon be running around the outer end of the stick and the island was melting away. One by one they were taken out, the guide accom- panying the rescued one each time to a place of security. Why they did not all follow the first one out when he returned puzzled me, but they did not. ‘The smaller ant now hurried forth with the last one. Still he was not content and rushed back in search of others. The little hillock was now melted away, and he turn- ed to seek safety for himself. He did not seem as much concerned as before. He did not hasten on as When conscious of rescuing others. The water was running around the stick. The last avenue of escape recmed closed to him forever. He went tothe highest point and settled down perfectly still. His previous ‘conduct convinced me that he now fully realized that the case was hopeless as far as he was concerned. Must the bravest of them all thus dic When he could have easily made his escape long ago? He willingly risked his own life that he might save others. Could a more genuine example of heroism be found in hu- man annals? Could a more striking example of brotherly love and un- selfish devotion be shown? Coulda more earnest solicitude for the life of others be instanced? 1 think not. Within his own, power this little in- sect had no possible means of escape. He did not fear death, neither did be die, but he was last to escape. I lift- ed the stick from the water and laid rf onthe ground. He crawled hur- ric.lly away to his companions, wi m he had so recently torn from th. rasp of death. Whatever I may he. done for them, I can but feel thei, in his example, the little hero ant did much more for me.—St. CHU CLs, i eiemeieneaemanemeeitiond BAPTI51—sServices every Srnday, Prayer meeting “burscay evening.

The sun was just setting when I returned, slightly fatigued, from several miles’ ride on my wheel.

The bottom -of the circular ants sought safety on’a large clod of little mound, and to all appearance were indifferent as to their surround- ings. After a little one of the num- ber proceeded leisurely around the little island and after finishing the circuit hurried back to his compun- ions.
