BLIND PEOPLE IN SPAIN.
The Number Is Very Large and There
Is M Effort to Re-
ducc 1t.

The large proportion Of blind people
in Spain has attracted attention since
the beginning of the present century.
The subject is again brought UP by an
article by Privy Councillor Eirschberg
in the German Medical Weekly giving
the results of his recent observation
in Spain, where he attended the hy-
gicnic congress. lie says tie streets
of Madrid swarm with blind bcggars;
the further south he went the more
blind he met. The proportion in Spain
as given in the census OF 1860 is II to
10000, against eight to nine in Ger
many, France and England; but that
figure is considered undoubtedly false
by continental authorities. More re-
cent figures give las. The chief causes
of blindness in Spain are inflamma-
tion Of the eyes OF infants granula-
tion and smallpox. The widespread

Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown il Mexican houses either. at
entrances or between interior rooms.
All doors open in 'he middle and are
fastened with bolts at top and bot
tom. Exterior doors are always fitted
with glass panels, for they also serve
rs windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open courts are fitted
with solid shutters that are folded at
the sides out of sight when not in
use.

various events connected with the end

described by John A. Church, formerly
of the Army and Navy journal. The
cost Of the war and the financial pro-
visions for meeting it are ably summed
up by Charles A. Conant, an experienced
financial writer. Henry Macfarand, a
Washington journalist, contributes a
character sketch of William r. Day,
the Secretary of State, which is of
special interest at this time because OF

A Coming cattl. Country.

With the revival of interest in the
live stock industry comes the oppor-
tunity the inhabitants of northwestern
Colorado have long been wanting.
Divide Colorado into four equal portions
and then take the northwestern portion
and there is hardly one person out of a
hundred that knows anything about
that section of the state. 1t is terra
incognito, and yet it is the most fertile
part Of Colorado. Hedged in on all
sides by high mountain ranges and
lodged by all the railroad lines crossing
the country, it is almost shut out from
the world, but in the wonderful valleys
and parks the finest cattle that come to
the Denver market are raised. 1t Is an
empire in itself and capable Of support
ing at least 5CO, 600 cattle. where not a
tenth Of that number can now be found.
Shut Oh from the highways of com
merce, the railroads, the inhabitants of
that country indulge in agricultural
pursuits only to raise what they want to
eat and what is needed for winter feed
for their cattle. Their only export
product is cattle. For years a few
white men have shared these wonderful
mountain valleys with the Indians, but
now the Indians are gone and the time
has come when the valleys can be safely
filled with cattle. The cattlemen al
