NEW WAY TO PLAY BLISDMAN

This is a simple little game. but Il
makes lots Of fun. One advantage
about it is that IL requires no think
ing. no knowledge Of books, no prepa-
ration Of any kind: It is just a jolly
game. TO make boys and girls Of any
age roar with laughter.
One Of the players Is to be blind
folded and the others stand about the
room as they please. The blindfolded
one then walks or grOpes around until
he touches a player. and the player
touched must then stand still and make
a noise in imitation Of some animal;
say cat. dog. q COW. a pig, or
horse.
II the blindfoIded player chooses he
can have the sound made three times.
and If he then guesses the name Of
the person the person takes his place.
IL be does not guess correctly he re-
leases the player and iries again

The Dead of the Glacier.

Lady Florence Dixle's appeal to all
who may be visiting Zermatt this sum-
mer will intensity interest in the
chance that the Zmutt glacier may
give up the lohg-Iost body Of her
brother, Lord Francis Douglas. Since
the rope broke on the return from the
first ascent Of the Matterhorn, just
forty years ago, and Mr.. Whymper and
two guides helplessly saw the fall Of
Lord Francis, two English companions
and the third guide. no trace Of Lord
Francis but one sleeve has ever been
found, though the other bodies were at
once recovered. The portion Of the
glacier which may have entombed him,
however. will reach the valley this
year. Chamonix has twice witnessed
such late recoyeries as that now hoped
for. The remains Of three guides over
whelmed by an avalanche on Mont
Blanc in 1920 appeared four miles
lower in 1861, and those Of Captain
Arkwrlght, an avalanche victim Of
1886, were similarly found in 1897

LADY DOCTORS FOR cRAzED

Physicians in Hospitals
for Lunatics.

One oi the most famous German
physicians for the treatment of mental
diseases. Prof Ludwig. is earnestly ad-
yocating the employment Of women
physicians in lunatc asyiums. After
wears OF investigation he has come to
the conclusion that the insane are pc.
culiarly susceptible to woman's pres.
epce and influence, not only the women
but the men AS well. He says he has
been instrumental In obtaining the ad-
mission of one woman physician to an
asylum for women In south Germany
and the results are simply phenomenal
The women are more tractable. aud in
the cases where mental disease Is the
result of sexual trouble the woman doc
tor works wonders. Ludwig is certain
that in a short time no men physicians
will be employed in female lunatic asy-
iums. His opinion Is supported in large
measure BY another eminent authority,
