morning, strange to say, for the first time 
in .years the sufferer had vision. He could 
see objects about him. The frightful red 
nepper seemed to have in some way cut 
the film over his eyes. And all through 
that long and dangerous voyage to the 
North and freedom the young abolitionist 
doctor treated the eyes of the aristocratic 
slave-holder—and restored his sight. 
* * * * * 
Don’t believe it? Well, I wasn’t there, 
but I think it essentially true. I have 
seen even stranger things in my day. No 
man was ever cured of blindness in that 
way save by miracle. Do not be too sure 
that. I knew of a ease years ago where 
a young doctor restored a man’s sight by 
accident. This young man was an aurist, 
and he divided his office with an eye 
doctor. The latter had one patient, al¬ 
most hopelessly blind. The eye doctor 
had to be absent and told his friend if 
the blind man came in to drop a few 
drops of a soda solution in his eye. The 
bottles were mixed and the labels were 
wrong, and my friend by mistake dropped 
acetic acid into the eye. There was a 
horrible commotion and frightful pain, 
hut the patient actually gained slight vis¬ 
ion in that eye. I am not so sure it was 
all impossible. 
But that skeleton! 
Sure there was one in the chimney 
When they found time to examine it. they 
saw it was very small. It turned out t< 
be the bones of a big cat. One of the do"s 
had chased it up the chimney. There th 
poor thing had stuck, moaning and oryinv 
out its nine full lives to the great ten-o¬ 
of all the negroes. That was the ghost 
and practically all the ghosts I have 
known or heard of are not as tangible a- 
that cat. Well, they all had full reaso: 
to he thankful, and so have we. Have 
janother apple. It’s time the children 
went to bed. I can’t get away from think¬ 
ing what a strange thing it was that tin 
rank abolitionists should work so ban 1 
| to save the eyes of the slave-holder. 1 
guess one of the things we have to be 
thankful for is that so many Americans 
have the courage to “fight fair.”

A Name for the Farm 
^ ould you give me a name suitable for 
a farm in a level, fertile valley? 
M. L. S. 
Situation, surroundings and natura 
features should all be considered in nam 
ing a farm or homestead. The combina 
tion should be one readily remembered, 
euphonious, and not too pretentious or 
Pnr-fetched. There are many musical and 
appropriate names derived from Indian 
tongues, and local history mav provide 
something of this sort. In the case un¬ 
der consideration, we are told that the 
farm is in a level, fertile valley. In Cel¬ 
tic or Cymric names we find many com¬ 
binations formed with “lan.” a level plain, 
"dene.” a wooded valley, “combe.” a cun- 
shaped depression, “lynn.” a deep, still 
pool, or “mede,” a meadow. Such words- 
give attractive combinations, such asSun- 
nylands, Sunnymede or Sunnvcombe. Or 
one may combine the level plain with the 
owner’s name. and in this case where the 
name “Morris” occurs, call it Lanmoris 
Farm. Or, if the valley includes water, 
we can take the word “lynn.” a deep, still 
oool. and call it “Lynumoris.” Turning 
to the Gaelic, we find “strath.” a broad 
valley, which again Avould give Strath- 
moris. Perhaps there is some other fam¬ 
ily name that would make a desirable 
combination in the same way. 
If there is a brook we can use such 
combinations as Watermede or Meadow- 
burn. “burn” meaning a small stream. 
Names derived from adjacent trees are 
more common and less distinctive, but 
may be qualified in various ways. “Shaw” 
means a wood, and if a grove of manles or 
group of oaks formed a notable feature. 
Mapleshaw or Oakenshaw would be more 
distinctive than merely Maple or Oak- 
Farm. Then we may use the word 
“worth.” meaning an estate, and could 
form such a combination as. including a 
family name. “Schaffworth Farm”; Vale- 
worth. Lynnworth or Worthmoris. 
We believe hearily in the custom of 
giving each farmstead a name of its own. 
It gives dignity, and fosters a pride in 
the better things of life. Printed on a 
neat letter sheet, it improves business 
standing, suggesting a solid citizen who 
is running a recognized industry. With¬ 
out any feeling of snobbery, we think it 
sounds better to be pointed out as “Mr. 
Brown of Sunnylands Farm.” rather than 
“Jim Brown that farms it out on the 
Jonesville pike.” The custom of naming 
the farm has gained largely during the 
past decade, and the man who is in the 
business to stay has learned the value of 
this trademark.

Apple Crop in Nova Scotia 
Having just finished washing the apple 
pickers’ dinner dishes, I want to advert 
to the 35-cent dollar. It isn’t enough to 
get for our work, but after the late freeze 
it may be a fact. Nova Scotian late ap¬ 
ples were frozen hard as bullets, and it 
has hurt some of them, and I think espe¬ 
cially the Baldwin. Nova Scotia has an 
enormous crop, probably because we have 
practically gone spraying with modified 
Bordeaux. Queer how the apple crop 
went down and stayed at 600.000 bids, a 
year using lime-sulphur, and now with 
Bordeaux gives us 2.000,000 bbls. Only 
barrels are scarce as pearls, and worth 
much blarney aud $1 apiece.

as ordinary farm engines, but run even more steadily and quietly, because of 
perfect balance and accurate Throttling Governor. 
Because of their light weight, they are the most useful farm engines, as they can be moved 
so easily from job to job, doing many jobs other engines cannot do. 
They are alto very durable— in fact, the Cushman service record on American farms—where 
50.000 of them are at work—justifies our claim that Cushman Motors are the most durable farm 
engines in the world.
