A Use for Reindeer Hair.

The attention Of textile manufact'
arars has been attracted by a recent
report of the United States Consul
Caneral al Frankfort, Germany, set
ting forth the adaptability of reindeer
hair or wool for the manufacture OF
.axtile fabrics. The Laplanders have
lone used it for the manufacture OF
q coarse blanket, but it's peculiar prep

suitable for use in bathing suits.
The hair of the reindeer is not mol
low throughout like that OF most
other animals, but is partitioned Oh
into innumerable small compartments
filled with compressed air. The walls
CT these compartments are SO tough
that they are not broken up in the
nrocess of manufacture, SO that a
cloth of reindeer wool consists OF
millions of little pockets of condensed
air surrounded by an impervlous Gov
e-irg. This cloth is practically water
proof, as we'll as exceedingly buoysnt'

Eve Strain and lII.Health.

Is "eys strain" the chief physical
foe cf genius?
In his new volume of "Biographlc
Clinics" DR.. Gould makes further in
uuiries into the maladies of men OF
genius. He is more than ever con-
vinced that Carlyle, Huxley, Darwin
and other great men owed their Ill
health solely to eye strain.
To this he attributes "mlgralne
and "bfain fag" and ali the disorder
ed digestions and huge depressions
and remorsas of the special children
of genius.
Melancholy, mcrbidity and despair
are the confessed results OF MI
rraine.'" In fourteen patients
most of the great literary figures OF
the nineteenth century-he finds
.headache, insomnia, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, indescribaDle
suffering, inability to do literary work
without producing these symptoms.
DR.. Gould pleads for scientific spec
racles as the only remedy for an over
strung civilization. "One OF the
greatest of European men, with a
splendid equipment, physical and In

finally driven into insanity simply De-

And the cache is not literal term

is unnecessary, because in the North
country a cache is sacred. On it may

The American Farmer the Best In the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master OF
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
ooo, 900 for their products in a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you are master of Jour 0z.n destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, it
only needs little effort on your own part

"At first l say: Let us be glad

you will lock a door leading toward

thanks for every good which has come

1 have read, witty SAKE, your verses on

And if y you but knew it as we'll as know
You would find, o most genial and ex-

To be cleaned from the sentence I'll

Self-reliance we know is an excellent
trait;
The advance guard of science who pa

Until time has developed the truth they

And often in life, as in Euchre, 1 own,
You make big march when you "play

But to " go it alone" you no doubt un-
You must hold the big ksaoes Of the pack
in your hand,
And too often in life, in a similar fix,
You depend on such cards to win your
tricks,
So sometimes too much of the knave
may be shown,
In selfish desire to go it alone!'
And the game you describe as "triv-
ial strife"
Has a moral to point for the battle of
Life.
1t is this: when the cards are dealt
round the stand,
And each player looks anxiously into
his hand,
How bravely your partner ill.luck can
resist,
If cheered by the exultant words, "I'll

THE GAME OEaLlfE.

Now, when the game OF Enchre
seems to be enjoying great popular
favor; in fact to have become fad in
social circles; the following lines by
the great poet, John G. SAKE, will
probably be acceptable. as much
through respect for their renowned
origin as for the lesson of self-reliance
they teach. Then the reply, which
follows, teaches even better moral,
from an act prompted by that high
and holier emotion of love, the aid Of
the helping hand. 1t has the more
need for this quality, when appearing

the fact that it Was written by one to
