The contents of a saucepan should
never cook, unless the recipe expressly
states to the contrary, without a cover
over them. Not only is the steaming
usually beneficial to the article in ques-
ton. but when that steam is allowed to
fill the kitchen it harms the walls and
furniture. Moreover, it imparts that
smell of cooking. not to the one room,
but more or less to the whole house,
which is so disagreeable and is what is

Queer Pair of Eyes.

Frederick Baufield, who suffered an
injury to one of his eyes few years
ago, inflicted by flying splinter in the
East Side Southern Pacific shops, is
just back in Portland, from Vienna
after a course of treatment. While
there he was for two months totally
blind. His sight, after it was restored
to him, proved remarkably abnormal
in fact, the most scientific authorities
on diseases of the eye say that there
is no similar case on record. Baufield's e
right eye became hyperopic, and the
left myopic; in other words, he could
see nothing close by with his right
optic, but at long range he was able
to discern the smallest object. Then
at distance of twenty feet, the larg-
est object was blurred to the left eye,
but within six inches of it the most
infinitesimal atom was magnified to
as great proportions as though 1t were
beneath the most powerful microscope,
says the San Francisco Call.
Baufield is somewhat sensitive on
this subject, as most abnormally affiict-
ed people are, yet few days ago he
practically demonstrated to few in
innate friends the unheard-of degree
to which he was suffering from hyper
opia and myopia. On one of the recent
clear afternoons he read the print OF
newspaper at distance of 200 feet,
while his left eye was blindfolded, but
when the paper was placed immediate
ly before him he was unable to deci-
pher letter. In addition he described
the color of very small piece of cloth
one of his friends had projecting from
thumb nail 800 feet distant.
To test his myopic vision a strong
microscope was employed. Two tests
were made, the right eye being closed i.
A drop of water and a small piece of
house fiy's wing, were the objects.
In both instances Baufield described,
with the use of his naked eye. what the
others saw only with the aid Of pow
erful instrument.
