For the last three years Miss Sarah Cunningham, of Vancouver, British Columbia, has blindfolded her eyes whenever she steps outside the door of the little cottage in which she lives all alone. She is a woman about forty years old For years her conscience was troubled by the sights of sin and Immortality everywhere visible as she walked the streets of Vancouver. Fin ally she decided that she could stand it no longer. If she could not put stop to the wickedness which oppressed her she could at least shut out the outside world Consequently she bandaged her eyes. Since that day, in 1896, her eyes have never looked upon the earth. As a result she reports that she is be- coming cheerful. The bright side of life now occupies her mind, and though she is aware of the fact that there is etill sin in the world, it does not trouble her as it formerly did.

The New York Times points out that the South Carolina man who has sent a public challenge to Esterhazy has disenfranchised himself, and rendered himself liable to imprisonment in the state penitentiary in the case of con- viction. In South Carolna it is un- lawful to fight a duel, send challenge. or carry one for a friend. The oath which persons take on assuming public office contains a clause denying that the person has fought duel or sent, or carried a challenge since 1881, the year the law prohibiting duelling was passed.
