SEES THROUGH RABBIT EYE
Washington Surgeons Believe Novel
Operation to Relieve Blindness
Will Eventually Be Successful
fA


WASHINGTON, April 2S-Partial
success has attended the efforts of the
surgeons to restore sight to Wilton
Heinard by grating the membrane
and corea of a rabbits eye to his. He
can now distinguish between daylight
and darkness.
Mr.. Heinard was operated on in the
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat hospi-
tai two months ago He has undergone
several minor operations since, and
when the bandages were removed from
his eyes he could see family.
The surgeons today declared them
selves satisfied with the result of the
operation. They say that If Mr. Hein-
ards sight continues to grow stronger,
as it has done lately, lie will be able
within year to walk about without
an attendant.
Mr.. Heinard lost his sight more than
a year ago when a negro coachman
threw lye in his face.

MEANS MUCH TO
ALL IRRIGATORS
RECENT SNOWFALL INsURES
PLENTY OF WATER
Mountains Covered With White Man.
tle--Land of Sunshine Becomes
for once Place of Cold Winds
and Low Temperature

The cold disagreeable rain which fell
yesterday afternoon was not unattend-
ed by good results, for the mountains
are covered as thickly with snow as
they were in the middle of the win
ter. "Old Baldy'' and Mt. Wilson are
both covered with snowy nantles and
the back ranges are white with the
f1eecy stuff.
Aside from the cold rain, yesterday
was q day to discourage the tourist
from the east, for the land of sun
shine and flowers was for the nonce
land of cold wind ard disagreeable
rawness Of temperature.
The snow on the mountains will swell
the streams that draw their water sup
plies from the big hills and will ac-
cordingly increase the supply of water
available for irrigation purposes.
More Showers Coming
More showers are foretold by the
weather man at Portland for Southern
California. 1t is likely, according to
the representations, that the nigh
winds of yesterday will continue to
blow through the streets of Los An
geles. The weather department says
that the storm which was central IL
Kansas yesterday morning is slowly
moving northeastward. with a rain
area extending from Eastern Colorado
to the Missouri river. Another storm
appears to be central in Nevada. (which
is causing cloudy weather in Southern
California, with light showers, and in
this vicinity cloudy weather may be
expected today, with showers and fresh
south to west winds. Thunderstorms

THINKS FIRE WILL BE

Insurance Money Obtained as Result
of conflagration Will Aid Material
Iy In Rebuilding San Francisco, He
Says-City Now DesoIate

81 think the fire was a blessing to
San Francisco rather than an added
Calamity" said Dr. G. F. Bovard, presi-
dent of the University of Southern
California last evening. DIR. Bovard
went north Tuesday and returned yes
terday.
TThe fire made it possible to get the
insurance money, thereby helping the
people to rebuild" continued Dr. Bo-
ward. "The buildings were so badly
wrecked they would have been OF little
use and the insurance money will help
them to get in shape again.
"San Francisco is in desolate con-
dition. 1t is a thing of the past.
presume it will build up again, but l
don't think the reconstruction will be
as fast as some seem to think. To my
mind it will take some time to clear
away the debris.
Methodists Lose Heavily
"The Methodist churches were heavy
losers. Howard street, Central and
the First Methodist churches, together
with the Japanese and Chinese mis-
sions and several German Methodist
churches, were entirely destroyed.
MIA street churches were badly
wrecked.
1.-The Methodist book concern was
completely wiped out. Temporary Of
fees have been opened at 2490 Shat
tack avenue, Berkeley, and the Advo-
cate will be issued this week as usual
Rev. Freeman b. Bovard, brother of
DIR. Bovard is editor of the Advocate
and had charge of the book concern.
He resides in Berkeley, so escaped all

PLEASURE FOR THE INVALID.
Little Things That Add to the Com
 fort of Shut-lns.

A magnet attached to ribbon is a boon to an invalid able to do needle work. Dropped to the floor, it will find and return the lost scissors, needle or thimble.
 A call-bell or small hand-bell should be part of every invalid's equipment, insuring prompt attendance upon her wants, and likewise relieving a busy caretaker of anxiety while engaged in other duties.
 Brushing the invalid's hair and bath ing her hands and face are services that can scarcely be performed too frequently, giving, as they do. such large returns in comfort, and often in- ducing sleep.
 A field-glass and a graphophone are happy gifts. One reveals interesting objects that without it are mere dots on the landscape, and the other means for her what going to a concert does to you.
 A hand-mirror should always be in reach, for if held at different angles it presents familiar scenes in new light-and change acts as a tonic.

Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles3

at first, and then more definitely, there came to him a suggestion which grew into an inspiration. His face Frightened; he leaned from his rock and into the water Up and down the shore he ran, gathering pink shells and snowy pebbles. He filled his wolfskin pouch with them. Then. as strenuouSly as if upon the hunt, he ran toward the village an the rocks and into his own particular cave. He was possessed of a very great idea, an idea which, in the crowding cen turies since. has won many soft hand and shaken many an oriental kingdom.
 For many days there was little seen of Cross Eyes in the chase or at the fishing. Food enough to sustain him. self was all he sought. Inside his cave he was at work, with flint and drill and sandstone polisher, engaged more earnestly than he had ever been when forming spear or arrowhead. With infinite labor and patience uneX- ampled hitherto, he wrought logged ly, but happily, and wonderful things began fashioning themselves in his strong hands. He bored each white chalk pebble, each rose pink shell, un- til there were many of them thus pierced, and then he shaped them and rounded them and polished them un- til they glittered wondrously when he brought them to the light. He mar veled at them himself. They were splendid beads.
 An eye for contrast had the worker. A long tendon from the leg of the great elk he took, a tendon such as made his bowstring, something that could not break, and which would last lifetime, and upon this he strung the beads, first a white and next a pink one, and so on, alternately, until all were thus secured He knotted the ends of the tendon together, in knot that could not become united, and then held up before him, some thing magnificent, the most glorious, shining bauble the world had ever knowu-the First Necklacei
 And during all the weeks while
  Big Bow had wooed most vigorously. He would make a last great effort and she must yield.
 So, as darkness fell, Big Bow went to the cave of Little Toes, where she chanced to be alone. Tossed over one of his shoulders was the body of 8 lawn he had killed that day, and over the other hung down to the cave mans feet great, dark, glossy mass which was something to demand at tention. It was the skin of the great cave bear, the only one ever slain by the tribe, and had come to Big Bow as being foremost in the famous chase and fight. It was magnificent thing.
 Few words had Big Bow. He laid the fawn at the feet of Little Toes and then he spread out upon the ground before her the great bear skin.

SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN.
Teaching Cups the Latest UtensiI to
 Find Favor.

Poaching cups that hold eggs so they will not have to be dropped into the water to cook are among the useful new fall utensils that all housewives who do their own work will appreciate as being economical and labor savers
 These poaching cups, in which the eggs are cooked by steam, are shal- low and round, and fit into metal lid perforated so the steam can come through. The pan on which this lid fits is round and about two inches deep, plenty large enough to be used as a cooker for cereals It is filled when in use with boiling water, and when the eggs are dropped into the cups that have already been heated a tight fitting top is placed over the poachers to prevent the steam and heat from escaping.
 It takes two minutes to poach eggs in this way, and the trouble of drop ping them into the water and fishing them out with a ladle is done away with. Besides it is less trouble to prepare eggs in this fashion, and when served they look so much more inviting than when the edges are ragged, for when cooked in cup they are always well rounded and the yolk is invariably in the center. They really taste better, too, for there is no possibility of being water soaked, a fault that many find with poached eggs. Then, too, they may be turned out of cups onto plates or toast, and look so dainty and tempting that even an invalid person with jaded appetite would be hungry after seeing them. The price is not more than 50 cents for the pan and half dozen poachers.

Dry Cleaning for Amateurs.

Dry cleaning at home, thanks to the ease with which gasoline can be acquired nowadays, is almost re- gard led in the light of a hobby by many women, although there is noth- ing original in subjecting gloves to amateur treatment of this kind, it has remained for recent years to bring in the fashion for more ambi- tious work. Blouses of silk, mousse line de soie, crepe de chine, taffeta and other fabrics, as well as silk jabots, scarfs and ties. can be suc- cessfully cleaned by means of gaso- line, while as regards renovating mill hnery and dress trimmings, a large field is open to the home-worker.

Tt is yours he said. Tomorrow night I am coming to take you to my cave"
 Little Toes did not answer at first, but threw herself down upon the furry skin delightedly It suited her.
 Finally she sat up. Tt is good" she said. Big Bow went away.
 There was slight sound, and Cross Eyes stood beside her. The fire in the cave blazed up and he called her to it. Then from his wolfskin pounch he drew forth something that flashed and fascinated. He hung it about her neck. The girl looked down upon it in silent amazement She lifted the glittering beads in her fingers trem- blingly, but could not speak. Her ecstasy was indescribable.
 Come with me to my cave and be my wife" said Cross Eyes. She did not answer, even then. She only put her hand in his and they went out into the night.
 They took the bearskin with them.

Cellar Shelves.

When space is lacking fer the safe. keeping of pickles and preserves in the closets and cupboards it is an in. expensive matter to have a drop shelf built in the cellar, or, for that matter the amateur carpenter of the family could make one with very little trouble by suspending four straight and sub. stantial strips from the rafters for supports and to these mailing a wide board for a shelf, so having it hang from the ceiling, safely out of the way of mice. and also in cool, dry place.
