Peculiar Injury
About eighteen months ago a Car
rick lady was chopping kindling and
a piece, with a clot of dirt on it, flow-
up and hit her in the eye. The in
jury left a scab on the optic, which
caused her a lot of uneasiness at
times. Recently, when the injury
caused a lot of itchiness, she rubbed
her eye, and what she supposed was
a scab was loosened from her eye,
and considerable bleeding resulted.
A close examination of the object re
vealed that it was not a scab at all,
but a clot of dirt in which a wood
louse was comfortably imbedded, and
which had been causing all the trou
ble. Her eye has now completely
healed, and she has had no further
discomfort since.—Walkerton Herald-
