VISION.
South African Natives who Can See for
Many Miles.


Many Miles.
It has often been remarked that
civilized people tend to become short
sighted, says a writer in an English
periodical. This is because in towns
and cities their vision is most con-
fined to short distances. Savage races.
On the other hand, are generally gifted
with remarkably keen sight, and few
tribes are more noteworthy in this re-
spect than the African bushmen, whose
eyes are veritable telescopes. This
power is no doubt a wise provision of
nature, for bushmen are a small race,
and if they were not able to see dan
ger a long way off they would be ex-
terminated by their various enemies,
whether savages Of other tribes, or wild.
beasts. A traveller in South Africa
relates that while walking one day in
company with a friendly bushman the
savage suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out there was a
lion ahead. The traveller gazed long
and earnestly in the direction indi-

nothing. Nonsense" he said, there's
nothing there" And he went forward
again, with the bushman following at
his heels, trembling and unwilling, and
still asserting that he could see a lion.
Presently the native came to a dead
stop and refused to bulge another
inch, for this time, he declared, he
could see a lioness with a number of
cubs, a fact which made the animal
more dangerous than ever. But the
European, who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead.
After walking a quarter, of a mile,
however, he could dimly make out an
object moving across the horizon. Still
doubling that it could be the object
which the bushman said he had seen,
he continued to advance, and at last
was able to distinguish a l~ioness, with
her cubs around her, walking leisure
ly toward the woods.

had been a favorite resort for Bruin.
In less than twenty minutes after strik-
ing the trail on the burned land they
found the bear summing himself on a
little knoll only a short distance ahead
of them. Haze took n shot at the
bear and hit his aim. From the pelt,
oil, meat and bounty Haze got over
$50. This bear was the biggest ever
captured in the Allegash region. In
the hunting season Sam frequently is
sent into the woods with hunting par
ties as a guide. He is the only guide
in the state who has not secured q IL
cense from the state fish and game
commissioners, or who should do so
and has not. The dog keeps behind
the sportsmen until it is time to re-
turn, and then he is informed that the
days hunt Is over and they are about
to return to the camp. Then Sam takes
the lead, and invariably brings the
party to camp by the most direct route.
1t matters not how far Or in what d.
rection they are from the camp, the
party under Sans direction and lead
ership is sure to get safe back. He is
never ratified or troubled with buck
fever. Haze has had man fabulous
offers for Sam, but he says ne had
much rather lose his right hand than
to give up the animal.

Wonderful Russian Horse That Knows
up to Twenty-Five.'

Wonderful Russian Horse Thai Knows
up to Twenty-Five"
DR.. Timovief, a distinguished Rus
sian physician, has computed that
crows a count ten, parrots four, dogs
twenty-four and cats six. DR.. Tim
ovieff found one horse belonging to a
peasant that, when ploughing, always
stopped to rest at the twentieth fur
row, no more and no less. He also
drove after one horse that had been
trained to stop for a feed after every
twenty-five versts. On a familiar road
this made uniform feeding places.
Once, however, on a road this horse
had never before travelled, it stopped
for food after travelling only twenty
two versts. The doctor watched care
fully in returning over the same road.
and saw how the horse had made it's
mistake. In the course of the twenty
two versts, which We're all carefully
marked by the telegraph company,
were three other stones similar to the
verst signs. These the horse had seen
and counted, being, of course, unable
to distinguish them from the others.

WHY DO o nLusH7

The Latest Theory Is That There Are
Two Closely Allied Causes for 1t.
The general idea that blushing is due
to fullness of blood in the brain is in
correct, according to the new theory
of a French expert. 1t arises from the
relaxation of the arteries of the face,
neck and breast, thus allowing an ex-
ira quantity of blood to rush to the
skin. These arteries have in their walls
a layer of rings of muscular fiber, which
contract or relax according to the con-
dition ct the patient, and so permit
the arteries to become more Or less
full of blood. When they are extra
full, which occurs in weakness, the pa
tient bushes. There are two closely
allied causes Of blushing. One Is
named "ereuthopobia;" that is the or
binary cause-weakness, and the ex-
treme se~nsitiveness and other condi-
lions caused by it. The other is des-
fgnated "erythrophobia," and Is the
fear that one will blush unconsciously
at awkward moments. The latter is
a peculiar form of the disease. The
individual in question, although not
given to blushing, becoming gradually
possessed with a fear that he will 90
so, at some inopportune time, and this
fear grows upon him until it complete
ly masters him and makes him grow
red in the face when there is not the
slightest reason for it.
At the most simple questions the
color rises, and he is placed in. the
most absurd situation. He is looked
upon with suspicion, because other
people accept his confusion as con-
seriousness of guilt; he recognizes the
fact, and of course his condition grows
worse. Weakness is responsible in
this case also for the deplorable state
Of things, for when the sufferer is
taken in hand and he gets "braced up
he smiles at his former fears. 1t must
be a very strong emotion that causes
a flush to come to the face of a really
healthy man or woman. Whatever
they may feel they will not show il
any more than they will show fear
when confronted by great danger. In
the latter case there is no doubt about
the danger; it is fully understood that
there may be a feeling of fear within
but it is not shown by the face. A
similar remark applies to the sense Of
shame under reproach. That feeling
will not be betrayed by a blush, be.
cause the individual is NOT afflicted hx
the disease.

Reading Letters from Home.

The American soldiers in the Philip

in reading letters from home. "The
boys were all anxious to read their
letters" writes n of them, "but the
question was how to obtain a light,
Our squS& thought they had solved the
difficulty with some gum Oil in a dish
and a rag, but no sooner had we got
a good light burning than the bullets

adopted another scheme. I covered my

OPIUM.

There is a revolution in opium pack
ing in India which it is calculated will
save the growers $4,000, 900 a year.
Formerly, on taking the opium from
the cultivators, it used to be placed in
earthenware jars, and these jars were.
packed with straw into wicker bas-
kets. This Anticipated method will,
however, be seen no more, for the jar
system is being replaced by packing
the opium in cloth and gunny bags It
has undergone a preliminary test Of
two years in n sub-agency, and is
now being given a crucial test by be-
ing tried side by side with the jar
plan, half the opium of this season
being packed in jars and half in bags.
There is little doubt, however, as to
the final opinion.

The advantages r obvious-frst,
no breakages can occur, and there is
much less lost by the amount of opium
sticking or adhering to the sides. In
the latter case it is estimated that one
pound per jar is saved; while about 5
per cent is lost in b~reakages, or about
four pounds per jar. There is, there
fore, a saving of about five pounds per
jar, and as each s~ub-agency sends
about 10000 jars, the saving amounts
to $50, 900 pounds.

A chest of opium weighing 125
pounds sells for 1000 rupees at least,
so that the saving in one sub-agency

at the present rate of exchange may
be taken to be equal to $400, 900. There
are five sub-agencies in Bengal, and
probably the same number in the
northwestern provinces, which gives a
total of 81, 200, 900, to which if is added
the saving in freight, owing to the
bags being loaded in several layers in
a railway truck, instead of only one
layer of jars, we get nearly SIS, 900, 900.
