Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.

Chicago, June 20.-No one can
go into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large number
of them wear spectacles. The proper
ton seems to increase yearly. and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
c.. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and SO hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.

poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light of the ordi-

chimney, is about as bad for the eyes

brilliant as it usually is, has an I'M
steadiness due to variations in power,
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves Of sight. The compar-

light as has yet been found. 1t gives
clear white, unwaveriLg light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft and SO

Fortunately, acetylene is very easily

moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
it's use in the home increases, there
will DE fewer defective eyes, particu-

and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

MIND CURE OF THE INDIAN.
Inherited Superstition Makes tn
Medicine Man a Necessity.

Medicine Man Necessity.
The skilled professional doctor is
one of the greatest helps to the Indi-
ans and the Navajos are receiving
him with very little distrust. The
savage misapprehension of things
that are new is gradually subsiding,
as results make clear to him that the
white mans medicine is more power
full than his. But there are excep-
lions. The purely physical troubles
may be eradicated by the doctor, but
there still remains in many cases. a
mental uncertainty that demands the
attention of the tribal medicine man.
1t is not foible or a fancy that can
be overcome by medicine, but a men
tai disease governed by countless ages
or mysticism which necessitAtes the
occult, undressing treatment of the
old days. This, then, is the mind
cure OF the Indians-the Christian sci
ence of the savage, which, hand in
hand with concrete medicine, exists
in all races, whether barbaric or Gull
tured. 1t is as necessary to the Indi-
an as certain amount of mind cure
is essential to our happiness.
The knowledge of modern curative
agents should be impaired to the
younger members of the tribe. They
are capable of assimilating new facts
and will take readily to the new
school. Civilization is disrupting the
major portion of the old laws and be-
liefs relating to the cause and cure
of disease will soon be things of the
past. With this essential of the old
life gone the work of the medicine
men will have been finished At pres.
ent there must be certain co-opera.

goes among them and the medicine
man of the tribe.

Of architecture and construction,
whose owner had religiously refused
to reconstruct or remodel or repair
into the semblance of a modern edi-
fee. No newfangled notions for him,
and no new conveniences, no new
plumbing and no new notions. And
being hard-headed old Pennsylvania
dutchman, he took it that his word

than spend a few hundreds of dollars
to put them into the market.

truth be told, Tony found shelter.
He was more caretaker than tenant
and he occupied but small portion
of the big house. His simple needs
required but a bed, stove and
chair-tOgether with things to eat and
wear. But he was a home-loving man,
was Tony, and without place Of
refuge all his own at night he would
have died in this great new world
with it's promised streets of gold and
fabulous wages.
So he made shoes by day and lived
in the great barn-like building by
night year after year, lonesome and
alone.
1t was funny, indeed, that the baby
should have been left on his doorstep
But it was and the homesick heart of
the lonely Dutch bachelor went out to
the little waif when first he saw it in
the neat basket, swaddled in the plain,
warm clothes. He took it in and sent
for the wife of Hermann the baker at
the corner. There was a council of
war which was closed by Tony's an
nouncement that he would keep the
little wayfarer which providence had
thrown in his way. So a widow of
mature years was secured and Tony
paid the bills from his slender earn
ings. And the little one grew to be
a girl of marvellous beauty, and Tony
bowed down and worshipped her. She
was different from any other person
| the simple German ever had seen.
There was a delicacy and flavor about
her strangely in contrast to her sur
roundings. He felt this Unborn super.
iority of the mysterious waif most
| keenly and as the years sped a great
| fear took possession of his simple,
honest soul. With the unerring in
stinct which belongs to simple natures,
it came to him that if this were true
if Sophie belonged indeed to a differ
ent caste, she ultimately would find
her own, even as water finds it's level.

heard her sing. Then came an offer
for her to sing in opera; wild delight

part of Tony. The months which fol-

and like an inferno to Tony. She
leaped instantly into fame and filled
the house for an entire season. Night
