In No Hurry.

A friend OF mine representing a big
American implement house, went to
Durango, short time ago and then
started out to solicit trade, says
writer in the Kansas City Times. He
had lot of samples in Durango and
was prepared to do big business. He
worked week and did not get an
order. Finally he met a young man
who had lived several years in Mex
leo, and began to abuse the country to
him. 81 know what's the matter
with you," said that young man, you
are in too big hurry. You talk pillow
and reapers to them too much. Those
are two things you must not do--talk
about your business and hurry the
people. If you will put yourself in
my hands for four days I'll sell some
thing for YOU" 1t was done, and the
two went together to call on rich
implement dealer. The travelling
man now and then wanted to talk
pillow, but his friend, who acted as in
terpretor, talked of everything else.
Finally they dined with the old Mex
lean, and over bottle of cognac the
interpreter cautiously remarked that
his friend represented an implement
firm, and had lot Of samples at Du-
range. The old man merely ans
wered that he might go over and look
at them. The implement man waited
three days and would have gone, but
the friend made him wait the full
time. The old merchant went to Du-
range the next day, and after looking
around a little ordered six car loads.
He hardly seemed to care what the
price was, and the implement man
was sure that he did not realize how
many plows could be put in car. He
explained, but the old man simply re-
peated his order and drew up check
| for the amount on the spot.

THE BLIND MADE TO SEEI
Vision Restored by the Wonderful Actt on
of Hypnotism.

siSion nestoreo Dy me wonderful 4ctto on
of Hypnotism.
One OF the most remarkable cases
In recent medical science is that of
Mrs. McBGrney, of Cincinnati. Some
time ago she fell, striking her face on
number Of tacks strewn on the
grouno. The eyeballs were ruptured
and the aqueous humor having
escaped 1t was deemed certain that
the young woman was doomed to q
life Of blindness. DR.. Pinkerton, who
attended her, had hopes OF restoring
her vision and after the sacs, which a
little before had been the seat of
sight, had been removed and the
wounds had healed he determined to
try and remedy the defect by the op-
GRAFTON of transportation. Six rab-
bits were selected and after careful
treatment were made ready to be
operated on. Mrs. McBurney was re-
moved to the operating room in one
OF the hospitals. but when it was
sought to place her under the intiu.
ence Of anRsthetics it was found that
she was not strong enough to bear
the ordeal. The doctor was a strong
advocate of hypnotism and saw an
opportunity of testing his ideas. But
In this case the patient could not see
and it had never been known that a
person could be hypnotized without
having eyes whereby attention could
be fixed. By pressure Of the hands
and by the voice Mrs. McBurney was,
however, placed III hynotic state
and the experiment was begun. The
small muscles of the eye which had
been preserved in the prior operation
were dissected free from their attach
ments and fitted to receive the rab-
bits eyes. The eyes were transplanted
as quickly as possible, and the little
muscles of the eyes were joined to-
gether with very fine sutures, so that
the rolling motion would be preserved.
The operation lasted an hour, and the
patient during the ordeal did not
have the least unpleasant sensation.
The result of the operation was that
one eye healed and the other sloughed
away. The operation was repeated
four times with the left eye we'll
matched, and they had very good
motion in every direction.
They were without sight, and the
wonders Of the unknown power were
again shown. DR.. Pinkerion saw the
patient every day for several weeks,
became familiar with her character
istics, and got her to form a feeling
OF confidence in him. Then he put
her under hypnotic influence again,
and, while under his power, he told
her that she could see. Sight
came to her eyes like a fash. She
described the contents of the room
that she was in, the various colors with
accuracy, walked any place she was
directed to without hesitation, and
did everything as we'll as person
whose eyes were in a normal state.
She could not see when not under
this influence, but it was noticed that
every time after the effect passed
away light could be perceived more
strongly until now she can family
distinguish bright objects all the
time. 1t is believed that sight will
be restored to her eyes in time, and
who can say that in hypnotism has
not been found the agent that will
cure blindness?

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol Of their wedding

third finger of the left hand. That

The Latest in Underwear.

The knitted silk underwear is always
most desirable on account of its warmth
and light weight The cream tones are
leaders, while the pale color tints of blue
and pink are popular. Night robes of
white and pale-colored wash silks are
trimmed with silk embroidery and lace.
The princess chemise has gained prestige
for itself after long rivalry with the corset
cover, in place of which it is frequently
used. 1t is trinity fitted, curving at the
waist, low in the neck and with shoulder
straps instead of sleeves. 1t is made with
tiny lengthwise tucks which may be
alternated with insertion. The neck may
be finished with embroidery or lace.
A pretty petticoat is of white ehallie
with red berries and olive leaves upon it.
1t is finished with q deep fiounce, which is
trimmed with Valenciennes insertion and
edging. A serviceable black petticoat is of
soft black silk with iounce of yellow silk
overlaid with black lace, which has head
ing of black ribbon ruching. Narrow rib
bon is used in white and colors made into a
coulisse under insertion of pretty de-
signs. This is used over corset covers, on
chemises, on kinkers and on walking skirts.
The combination underwear is becoming
more fanciful in models and finishing,
