Prevention of Blindness.
Century Magazine.)


AS to the prevention of unnecessary
blindness, this is a matter which the
physicians of the country have been
alive to these many years, but which
the New York Association for the Blind
has just taken up by means of spe-
cial committee. This movement result
ed from the fact that a member of the
new association, who has been leader
in far-reaching measures of philanthro-
py, recently became impressed by the
startling fact that, as DR.. Lewis puts
it, from 80 to 40 per cent of those who
are blind need never have become so
had proper measures been taken at the
right time to prevent this affliction." p"
In this case the method of prevention
is simple and absolutely painless pre-
caution to be exercised with newborn
children-a method invented a quarter
of a century ago in LeipSiC, and now
known and generally approved through
out the medical world
The work of the special committee in
cooperation with competent physicians
and state authorities. will doubtless be
taken up in other states of America,
and before another quarter Of a century
has passed this one device of preven
tion will doubtless be the means of saw
ing from misfortune thousands of men,
peIS VI tie llullldll IdIllily WHO VIII new
er have known of their danger. Should
this prevention become universal, the
hardship of blindness would be dimin
ished to an extent it is impossible to
compute.
And is it too strained an optimism
for us to look forward to time when
the danger of this phase of blindness,
as of other preventable diseases, will,
by purer and more sanitary living, be
largely removed from the ills to which
humanity is heir? That day of radical
prevention will be fastened by frank
er and more scientific attitude on the
part of both physicians and the public.
Already signs are multiplying of
great and widespread awakening-an
awakening which may do that for hu-
manity which has been for centuries
the dream not only of the wise physi-
cian,' but also of the long line of the
worlds great preachers, prophets and
poets.

Death Of EstimabIe Woman.

The many friends Of Rev. P. A Phil
lips will grieve with him in the keen
loss he has recently sustained in the
death of his venerable mother, who
passed away at her home in Vancou-
yer, B. c., a few months since, when
Father Phillips was so seriously i'll that
recovery was doubtful, he struggled
desperately for strength sufficient to
enable him to go once more to that
dearly-loved mother whom he never
failed to visit each year. The long and
tiTesOme journey proved a severe tax
on his fast waning strength, but under
her tender and loving care he was
slowly but steadily returning to health
when this blow fell upon him. Mrs.
Phillips had lived a long life, and one
in which the joys were mixed with the
keenest sorrows that cut a mothers
heart, the death of her children, but
through all trials her faith was ever
firm and she bowed with resignation to
the will of God.
A high mass of requiem for the re-
pose of her soul will be sung in Logan
avenue chapel on Saturday, Oct. 3, with
Rev. Father McMenamin celebrant,
Rev. E. lie Febvre. deacon; Rev. j. f.
McDonough, sub-deacon, and Rev. T.
y. Henegan, master of ceremonies.

False Hair Devotees.

Does the woman who wears during
the day a pound of ruffs, a yard of
rat" and bushel of other grated
tresses, always remember to brush her
hair at night? If she does not, it is
to be feared that the wearing of false
hair will be more serious an obligation
than that imposed by the caprice of
fashion. For the present mode of
wearing false hair is one which, even
with good care at night, threatens the
future health of the scalp. 1t stops
the circulation and, unless the hair is
well ventilated at night, there is bound
to be irreparable damage done. There
fore, let her whose head offers the
same building inducements to stray
birds as did the beard Of the old man
in the nonse verse be careful to
take down her hair each night and
give it a thorough brushing. During
the night she must either braid it or
allow it to hang free, the latter of
which methods is decidedly preferable.

Quiet Woman Gets Best Place.

Other things being equal, the quiet
and reserved business woman who,
Though friendly with all, says compar-
atively little while engaged in busi-
ness. is the one most likely to reach
the top of the ladder. Nor need oppOr-
tunities for sympathy and kindly as
sistance TO fellow toilers be laid aside.
There are men who must have some
one to talk to, who exact sympathy
and advice from all who come near
them. who, failing a patient wife or a
tender mother, will insist that the
stenographer, bookkeeper or other fem
mime employe reap the worry harvest
of all their troubles.
There are other men-though these
are not so numerous-who must share
their joys with all about them. A girl
habituated to working with a man of
either description will, especially if
young when undergoing the expert
ence, respond rapidly and even bear
the unfortunate business ways thus ac-
quired, to offices marked by more de-
sirable modes and conditions.
