He departed, and Libby followed him
to the yard to help him with the har-
Messing. When all was done he rested
his palm under her chin and looked
into her eyes.

voice. "Ive gotten to ask your par

Pardon for what?" she said, in great
surprise.
"Why, Libby, tits hard to put it into

THE OTHER EYE

Nine persons out of every ten, with
a cinder or any other foreign sub
stance in the eye, will instantly begin
to rub it with one hand while hunting
for a handkerchief with the other
This is all wrong. The right way is
not to rub the eye with the cinder in
it, but to rub the other as vigorously
as you like.
A few months ago I was riding on
the engine of fast express. The engi-
neer threw open the front window of
the cab, and I caught a cinder in my
eye which gave me intense pain. I be-
gan to rub the eye desperately, when
the engineer called to me:
LET that eye alone and rub the other
one"
Thinking he was chatting me I only
rubbed the harder.
"I know the doctors think they know
it all, but they don't, and If you will
let that eye alone and work on the
other one you will soon have the Gin
der out" shouted the engineer.
I did as he directed, and soon felt
the cinder down near the inner can
thus, and made ready to take 1t out.
"Let 1t alone and keep at the well
eye" again shouted the engineer.
I did so for a minute longer and
then. looking into a small glass the
engineer handed me, I saw the offender
on my cheek I have tried it many
times since, always with success.

wAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY PARTY

At a Washingtons birthday party the
guests should be arranged two by two
to represent the 22d. There should be
a booming of business on the part of
the gentlemen, and the ladies should
bang their hair and circulate reports.
A cherry tree may be represented by
the bows of the guests and the lips OF
the ladies. A dog might furnish the
bark, and also delight the guests when
he leaves.
Hens should be in evidence. because,
like washington, they do not lie, and
because they furnish the hatchet idea.
To carry out the hatchet idea at the
table, serve chops with Saratoga chips.
The conversation should flag frequent

FUNNY pORRIN

The family horse, which rejoiced in
the eminently proper name of Dobbin,
says the Montreal Herald, has earned
a rest by long service, and was ac-
cordingly sent away to the country to
spend his declining years in the broad
pastures of farmer friend of his
owner. The distance being somewhat
excessive for his rheumatic legs he
was shipped to his new home by rail-
Edna, the family 4-year-old, viewed
the passing of Dobbin with unfeigned
sorrow. She sat for long time gaz-
ing disconsolately out of the window.
At last, after a deep sigh, she turned
with a more cheerful expression and
said:
did old Dobbin go in the cars,
mammal"
Eyes, dear" answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over the little
girls face. "I was just thinking" she
said, chow funny he must look sitting
up on the plush cushions"

DOCTORS AND TURKISH WOMEN
Medical Men Called Now to Attend
Inmates of Harem.

Consantinop.e Cor London Lancet.
The attitude Of the hanoums to medical
practitioners has changed much of re-
cent years Twenty or thirty years ago
no Turkish woman would ever have sub
mitted to physical examination by a
doctor. All he could have persuaded her
to do would have been to show him her
tongue through a rent in the yashmak,
or let him touch her pulse from behind
a heavy curtain and in the presence, of
course. Of an argus-eyed eunuch or old
female slave.
Any attempt to apply stethoscope to
the chest would have been spurned as an
impairment presumption Of western bar
barism." No matter how severe the Ill
ness, the medical man could not go be-
yond certain strict limits of Islamte
usage and traditional custom. Even in
cases Of imminent danger to life these
scanty limits were never allowed TO be
overstepped. and the belief in the incan-
tationS Of priest and the house of REM
edies OF old. ignorant and superstitious
women held unlimited sway and was al
ways greater than the faith in the eff
cacy OF medical skill and science
This Is now changing and changing rap
idly. There are, of course, still many eX-
ceptions, where Anticipated views and con-
ceptons are fanatically adhered to and
practiced. but these become rarer with
each advancing year. Many Turkish
women will now WREN i'll. voluntarily
call on A medical practitioner and never
hesitate TO submit themselves to a thor
ough physical examination.
The general public opinion on these
matters among the Turks is fast alter
ing for the better. and only In very rare
cases is there now any difficulty at all
raised as to letting the lanoum submit
to an examination with a stethoscops OF
other Instrument.
