Blind Girls Earnings.

Miss Cora Crocker, a deaf, dumb
and blind girl, has surprised her
teachers In the workshops of the
Massachusetts Commission for the
Blind, in Cambridge. by the quick
ness with which she has mastered the
intricate machinery of her loom and
the beauty and delicacy of her work.
She has only just passed her twenty
first birthday and has been under the
care of teachers for a comparatively
short time. yet she weaves the most
delicate fancy articles, dainty colored
designs. She is said to be the only
person so afflicted who has ever sue
ceeded in doing such beautiful work.
There are several blind women work
ing in the same shop who do good
work, but she is the only one who
can neither speak nor hear. Her
earnings, 1t is said, of more than
$40 month are steadily increasing

me the story of the tragedy.
"she had been preparing the even

porch with the faithful Vote. The
door was open. Suddenly she was
startled by the piercing yelps that
had heard down In the grove. She
rushed to the door and was horror

Tears coursed down my wife's
cheeks as we bent over our dying
pet, and I confess that my own eyes
were moist. Vote recognized us. The
suffering he must have endured was
secondary to the satisfaction he
seemed to feel in the safety OF tho
baby, though at the cost of his own
life.
"The baby was about a year old
and she had learned to lisp the name
OF her companion. ''Ote. 'Ote!' she
called, as she reached her chubby
hands toward him. The fast dim

her as she was allowed to lay her

Lips 10 BE Red.

Lips will be of a deep rich red this
season. Hips, as a topic, have had
their day, and despite all the dictates
OF Panquin, women seem to be as
hipless or "hipful" as they were be-
fore. The prophets could make only
conjectures in regard to hips. 1t re-
mained to be seen what the New
York woman would do. But the
writer has seen the lips, and unlike
all talk about hips, can say that the
deep rich red is the latest fad. The
majority of the women whose lips
looked as though done with pure
crimson madder from the tube were
beyond the kissing age. One saw
them not in hundreds but certainly
by the dozens at the Manhattan
Opera House recently. One would
never have concluded that they had
neither chance nor inclination for
kisses. had they not all been so cross
to their husbands, as they entered,
and when there was any little un.
certainty about finding seats. One
wondered IL they had any children
at home who expected a good night
kiss after Now / lay me-" and the

prayer. With crimson madder lips,
the face is usually pure white, with
out rouge. and in the majority of
cases was as powdery as a freshly
suSared cruller. Entering the Met
ropolitan Opera House, there is not
such strong cruel light, and both
powder and lip rouge are absorbed
somewhat in an hour, or often less.
At the Manhattan, on The other hand;
many of the women enter the house
through the doors just in back of the
orchestra. Here there is a clear, cold
light; nothing crimson and kindly
as there is at the Metropolitan. Even
the unshaved Siciliaus among the
standees looked with amazement at
these white-faced women with bright
red lips. Some of the innocents
among the mere men imagined they
were members of the chorus who had
entered by the wrong door.-Brook.

A COYOTE HERO

denly came upon sight that never
can forget. 1t was dying female
coyote and two puppies. The young
ones. apparently near weaving age,
and hence able 10 take early lessons
in the acquisition of poultry, were
nesting close to the mothers head.
Four little paws were about the old
ones neck, two little tongtes iapped
her face, and the saddest and most
pitiful low wall came from two little
throats.
"The youngsters were so absorbed
with their grief that they failed to
notice my approach. When the eyes
OF the mother turned upon me, how
ever, there was an instant expression
of fright and an effort TO rise. But
the effort was hopeless. The shot
was fatal and she was dying.
How I wished at that moment
that my aim had missed! Evidently
realizing that she was dying. the look
of fright suddenly disappeared and
her big brown eyes assumed an ex-
preston that I have vainly tried to
blot from memory In the seventeen
years that since have passed. I never
have witnessed so pitiful a sight.
The poor creature. as she looked
from me to her puppies. seemed to
be making a mute appeal to me to
spare her little ones.
"Of course" continued the ranch
er, after minutes pause, "all that
will strike you as being sentimental
gush wasted on a prowling coyote
that had got its deserts. But you will
remember that the coyote Is simply a

Women ns Councillors.

On the first occasion on which
ladies have been eligible to sit as
municipal councillors their success
at the polls has hardly been as pro-
nounced as some of those who have
worked so hard to secure them the
right were inclined to anticipate.
Still. when It is considered that only
spinsters or widows could stand and
that in several instances boroughs
were being served by well-tried and
fully trusted members of long stand
ing, there is perhaps no reason to
feel otherwise than satisfied
Notable among those who have
been returned is Miss Dove, who
headed the poll at High Wycombe.
She is an advanced educationalist,
who for some years past has been
head mistress of Wycombe Abbey
School, with about 200 young ladies
In residence under her care.
Another striking success is that
OF Miss Merivale at Oxford. She is
a daughter of the late Dean Merivale,
the historian, and her candidature
enjoyed the support of many leading
members of the university. She will
take her seat as an Independent, and
education is strong point with her.
This, too. figured prominently in the
campaign of Miss Sutton, who was
returned unopposed at Reading. Mrs.
Woodward at Bewdley was also
spared the troubles of any contest,
as was Mrs. Garrett Anderson at
Aldeburgh. In Scotland the ladies
were less successful. Four came for
ward and none have been returned.
1t is significant that Lady Steel was
rejected at Edinburgh, for she has
been among the most militant of suf-
fragists, even to passive resistance"
as to paying her rates and taxes, and
the rebuke may be taken to heart
by those who think noisy methods
are approved by the majority of their
sisters.-London Telegraph.

yards, troughs and everything con-
nected with the poultry yard strictly
clean. It is probable that the drink
ing water is the medium through
which the gapeworm most often
comes, and, therefore. the greatest
care must be taken to keep the foun-
tains clean, when conditions are
specially favorable to the propagation
of the gapeworm.
The water supplied should be pure
and fresh. 1t Is strongly advised
that house, floors, perches, coops
and hatching-boxes should be thor
oughly cleansed with boiling water,
and then limewashed: that food
should never be thrown on the
ground; that access to polluted water
should be prevented; that the rearing
ground should be dlsinfected during
the winter season II 1t is to be used
the following year; and that the
bodies of all chickens that die of
gapes should be burned. It Is also
advisable that affected chickens
should be removed from the healthy
birds as soon as the symptoms of
gapes can be observed; but this is
hardly practicable where chickens
are reared by hens alone, as chicks
of tender age. IL removed from their
mother, would not survive for want
OF care and brooding. Where incu-
hators and brooders are used. there
is. however, no difficulty, as one of
the brooders can be temporarily
turned into hospital for the affected
chicks. III. d. c., in Farmers Ga
