CoIors to the Blind,

"Have you any conception of colorT'
a friend asked blind man. "What
idea have you when you hear colors
mentioned?
"a person blind from birth, as l have
been, can have no possible proper con-
ception of COLOR was the reply. ITO
me color is sound, or, rather, music.
When | hear the word red, for exam
pie, instantly think Of high piercing
note of music. Blue is to me delicate
~ SOUNDED note, fairly high and pleas
Ing in tone. Green is a soft tone and
rather low, quiet and restful, while
yellow is lively, quick little notes rap
idly sounding and causing pleasure
almost to laughter. Black, alas, is the
only color we can realize, for we are
told that that is the absence of all
light and we know only too we'll what
that means"

WHY so WEAK
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life AWAY.

When a healthy man or woman be-

dizzy1spells and urinary disorders, look
to the kidneys for the cause of it all.

cure sick kidneys and keep them we'll.
J. C. Culpepper, of State street, a
carpenter and one of the best known
residents of Albany, Ca, has tested
Doan's Kidney Pills to his entire salts
faction and speaks of them as follows:
Eyes, they certainly did me a lot of
good. / used them for backache and
urinary troubles from which had been
suffering for years. I had a constant
dull pain across my loins, so very
severe at times as to completely lay me
up. It was very bad at night. |

would wake up at night and feel as
though my back was coming apart.
was hardly able to turn over in bed.
The kidney secretions were very dark
and contained sediment. The action
of the kidneys was altogether too free
and passages were accompanied with a
sensation. This bothered me a great
deal during the day and often at night
L was called out of bed several times,
but until I obtained Doan's Kidney
Pills found nothing that helped me
much. They did the work quickly and
since using them I have not had the
backache, The urine has regained it's

ment. I feel first rate"

A Problem and a Solution.

Here's little problem I'd like to have
you help me out on: A induces me to loan
him some money, which, in order to &C
commodate him, l had to borrow. I bor-
rowed it from a good looking young wild
ow. Not long after that A asked me to
Introduce him to the widow, and 1 did it
to accommodate him. Now A has mar
ried the widow from whom borrowed the
money to loan him, and now his wife
formerly the widow wants me to pay
her the money which l borrowed and
which 1 loaned to A (now her husband).
A won't repay me the money, claiming he
hasn't it and can't get 1t, and his wife
WORT release me. Will you please tell
me what a poor fellow is going to do in
a case like this? READER.
Charge her a commission, equal to
the amount, for finding her a husband
and then keep away from good looking
young widows.-Denver Post.

Early Northwest Voyages.

Beginning with the American dis
coyeries of John Cabot in 1897, the
search for the Northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal. 1t was Fro
bisher, however, who in 1868 first
gave distinct national character to
the quest. John Davis, Of Davis strait
followed in three voyages, 1585-S8, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it will not be-" The
search from the Atlantic side closed
for two centuries with the voyage of
a great seaman, William Baffin. who,
in tiny boat of fifty-five tons, with a
miserable equipment, but an undaunt-
ed heart, attained in 1916 the highest

degrees 40 minutes N, and discovered
three radiating sounds, Jones, Smith
and Lancaster, the last being the east
ern entrance to the long sought pas
saga. w. Greedy in Century.

A savane,s Sense of Duty.

Although the Australian aborigine
has his vendetta, it is not always re-
venge that he seeks. Darwin tells of
native servant of a west Australian
magistrate who went one day to his
master, saying that one of his wives
had died. He must go away therefore
to distant tribe and spear a woman
to satisfy his sense of duty to the
dead woman. IF you do, I'll send you
to prison for life," said his master
For year the man hung about look
ing wretched and iii and complaining
that he could neither eat nor sleep, as
the spirit of his wife haunted him
because he had not taken another life
for hers. At last he disappeared A
year later he returned in high condi-
ton. There was no legal evidence
against him, but it was known that
he had gone to a distant tribe, had
speared a woman to death and so, as
he thought, appeased the spirit of his
departed wife.

savage Surgery In Africa.

Queer methods have the savage ma
tive surgeons of Africa What is the
secret Of their success it is not easy
to conceive, but savage doctors effect
cures in spite of the most atrocious
treatment of their patients. One of the
pafeg who was bearing Livingstone's
body to the coast was shot through the
leg, shattering thigh bone This is
how they treated him: First tlay dug
pit and buried him in it iWsuch a
posture that his head and arms were
free. Then they covered the earth
about his legs with a thick layer of
mud. Upon this were heaped leaves
and grass, TO which fire was applied,
directly over the fracture of the limb.
The heat gradually worked down to
the wound, and the man suffered re-
neWed agonies. After awhile he was
taken out and held quite fast while
two giants with all their might stretch
ed the shattered leg. Splints were duly
applied, and the man was pronounced
on the way to a complete cure. That
was the normal practice successfully
followed for this class of case.-London
Standard.

L.einh Hunt.

This famous Englishman has two dis
tinct claims to fame. Not only was he
a brilliant poet, essayist and critic, but
much that we know of Keats, Shelley,
Lamb, Byron, Moore, Coleridge, Dick
ems and Carlyle has been derived from
the knowledge of these celebrities
which Hunt gave to the world. Pos
sessing a happy spirit and genuine
scholarship, Leigh Hunts writings
sparkle with wit and cleverness, while
his translations are among the choicest
of their kind. His pecuniary difficulties
undoubtedly prevented Hunt giving us
his best at times, but after he was
granted a pension amounting in all to
1920 per Nnnum the improved COM
fort and augmented leisure enabled
him to make his mark on English lit
erature with essays of remarka BILE
power.--Pearson's Weekly.
