not care to make very close search

When morning came the shantymen
made breakfast of the yenison in the

Lachine, Canada.-Night blindness is
an ailment prevalent among lumber
men who work in shantles remote
enough TO make vegetables an unusual
luxury. In most instances the persons
affected have the normal use of their
eyesight from sunrise to sunset, but
are stone blind when the sun is below
the horizon.
Sometimes the trouble comes on
slowly, beginning with a dfmness of
vision at morning and evening, and in
creasing until it is impossible for the
patient to STIR outside except when the
sun is high. At other times, and es-
pecially in the bright days of March,
when the glare of the sun upon the
snow is trying to all eyes, night blind
ness sets in suddenly.
There was a curious case of this sud
den coming on of the blindness in the
Ottawa lumber district, near Beaver
lake. Four men had been detailed to
mark the logs laid upon the ice, and
they had worked three or four days in
the glazing light of the March sun re-
fected from the clear lake surface with
no particularly bad results. Two of
them were sufferers from night blind
ness and had to be led home at night
by their comrades, and as their shanty
was four miles away from the lake it
was their custom to start back little
before shutdown.
One day they had about finished
their job, and worked rather late to

How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from Door
or poisoned blood. In ananIia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism. malaria and the grip, the poison

complete it. To their dismay they
found when they stopped work and
slipped on their coats that all four
were completely blind.
The night was terribly cold and
there was more than half a gale of
north wind blowing across the lake
TO attempt to grope their way home
would be to risk their lives Happily
one of the men remembered that one
or the great timbers used as a sllidway
was a stick of white bircn the canoe
tree of the Indians.
Cautiously they felt their way to this
log and cOntrived to tear away a sec
ton OF the paperlike bark. Hastily
rolling this up into what would answer
for torch, they lit it with a match
and derived light enough for three of
the four to be able to distinguish their
surroundings.
The pirch pole was at once COM
pletely stripped of it's bark, and while
at this work they decided that it would
be almost madness to try to reach their
own shanty that night, along the mar
row pathway their footsteaps had
made in the deep snow. Right across
an arm of the lake on projecting
point was deserted shanty. and
thither they determined to go.
The journey was difficult, as even
with the flaming bark to guide them
the poor fellows found it difficult to
steer straight course 1t was proba-
bly, near midnight when they pushed
open the ride wooden hinged door and
entered the shanty.
A fire was quickly started in the ca
boose with some of the poles taken
from the bottom of one of the shelf
like sleeping hunks, still in position all
around the walls. After a time their
sense of seeing came back to them as
they sat about the bright fire and they
could lcoif about their new home with
tolerable clearness. AS their vision
cleared they made out the figure of
man seated at the clerks desk in
the corner, with fine hound at his
feet.
A little investigation showed that
both man and dog were stone dead and
frozen to stiffness. 1t was evident that
shanty had been the home of the dea..
pair for considerable time.
The greater part of fine deer hung
in the cooks lean-to, which was en-
tered by door from the rear of the
shanty. No trace of flour or other
provisions was to be seen.
The visitors had been prodigal in
their use of matches and now discoy-
cred that they had used the last of
their supply. Their keenest search of
the clothing and stores of the dead man
failed to discover a single one. and
though they found fine rifle in good
order in the bunk wherein the bed had
been made, not single cartridge
wherewith flame might be obtained
could be found. They at once piled
all available fuel near their fire and
determined to watch beside it all night
