According to DIR. \. ID. Williams. the
white, faxen hair of albinos shows
that there Is deficiency of eoloring
materials In their bodies. Further
proof OF this fact is found In the alb
sence OF the necessary amount OF pig
ment In their eyes. Such persons have
pink eyes, because there is not pig
ment enough In the iris and upon It's
posterior surface TO prevent the red re-
fex of the fundus from shining through
the iris. Alblnos are always greatly
annoyed by strong light because there
is not sufficient colorng to prevent the
ingress of Hood OF 1t, the bright glare
entering not only through the pupil.
but through the substance of the Iris
as well.
The choroid being likewise deficient
In pigment. the excessive amount OF
light dazzles and greatly eonfuses the
vision. Furthermore, the deficiency OF
pigments In the choroid prevents the
light after 1t has acted on the retina
from being absorbed, that being the
main function Of the choroidal pigment.
Albinlsm Is IN unfortunate condition,
as there Is no way TO supply the def
cient pigment 10 the Iris and choroid,

1t was lover who discovered this
trick. When he was not with his lady
love. he was studying chemistry and
experimenting, and one day recently
he found an easy method of changing
the natural colors of flowers.
He was In the habit of presenting his
sweetheart with bouquets OF beautiful
roses. which grew In his garden, and a
few hours after he had made the dis
covery he took her half dozen of the
choicest white roses and told her that
she could learn through them whether
he was really Ia love with her or not.
'lf you and | are destined for each
other" he said, these white roses will
become crimson within FIVE or six
hours from now. Gradually but surely
they will change color. and you may re-
gard the change not only rs an indlca-
ton that the flowers are delighted to
be worn by you. but also us an infalli-
bio sign That happiness Is assured TO us
IN the future"
Sure enough, before the eyes of the
wondering maiden the roses changed
color md were crimson Mt sunset that
evening. Marvellous indeed the change
seemed to her, for how could she know
that the roses were originally rcd and
that her lover had simply bleached
them white by holding them for some
time over a pan filled with smoking

In olden times fingers served well

wise more seemly methods. They final
iy manufactured forks that looked like
skewers. md out of the bamboo they
manufactured knives. The Indians,
proyerblally slow in adopting modern
ways, still eat without knives or forks,
although they have permitted the use
of spoons These were first made OF
shells and the rinds of gourds Later
handles were inserted, and, having
passed numerous stages. knives. forks
aud spoons have reached the present

The cup Is probably the most ancient

Best Way to Take People.

One OF the greatest lessons In life
Is to learn to take people at their best.
not their worst; to look for the divine.
not the human. In them; the beautiful.
not the ugly; the bright, not the dark;
the straight, not the crooked side.
A habit Of looking for the best In
everybody and OF saying kindly In
stead of unkindly things about them
strengthens the character. eleyates the
Ideals and tends to produce happiness.
II also helps to create friends. We
like to be with those who see the d.
vine side of us. who see our posslblll-
ties. who do not dwell upon the dark
side of our life. but upon the bright
side. This is the Office OF true friend.
to help US discover our noblest selves.
