Blindness,

There are various degrees and
knds of blindness, widow. There is
the connubial blindness, ma'am, which
perhaps you may have observed in the
course OF your own experience, and
which is a kind of willful and self-dam
aging blindness. There is the blind
ness Of party, ma'am, and public men,
which is the blindness Of a mad bull
In the midst Of regiment of soldiers
clothed in red. There Is the blind con.
ndence of youth, which is the blind.
ness of young kittens, whose eyes
have not yet opened on tho world. -

the craft, which was minus oars, was
soon at the mercy of the current. The

crew of a fishing smack, who over
took it and transferred the boys to
their vessel Owing to the dense fog

AEROPLANE PERIL TO BIRDS
Winged Species Becoming AIarminsly
Fewer in France as Man Com
petes with Them.

Paris-Eirds Of all kinds are becom
ing scarcer In France, say the orni
biologists. According to no less an
authority than Conte Clary. presiden,
of the ST Hubert club, the danger OF
extinction OF the winged species is in,
creased by the use of aeroplanes.
"All who were present during the
aviation contests at Rheims" said
CCmte Clary. will recall that the be-
hayior of the frightened birds as the
aeroplanes rose was a picturesque fea-
ture in the early part of the week In
some cases they seemed to be par
alyzed with fear, while in others they
scudded away with loud cries BY
the end Oh the week few birds were to
be seen On the field The same has
been true in other parts of France
where aviation meetings have been
held"
The proprietor OF a large estate in
the south of France says that he has
noticed the greatest alarm among
birds. and especially among wild
ducks. on the appearance OF a steer
able balloon over their heads. 1t is
feared by ornithologists and sports
men that the advent of flying ma
chimes will cause a decrease in the
OF game birds.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and wilderness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap. assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior TO all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, ii is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot.
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuucura Ointment on thin pieces Of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage OF old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, ifs
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

out the world. Potter Drug & Chem.

Substitutes for Cotton.

Owing to the high price of cotton
some German textile experts have
been turning their attention to other
fibers that might be used as substi-
tute for it. Recently spinning com
pany at ChemnitZ has succeeded in
spinning the fiber contained in the
seeds Of the kapok. or silk cotton tree
of the tropics. In its natural state
this fiber cannot be spun owing to its
extreme brittleness. but it is reported
that Prof Goldberg of Chemnitz has
found a method of treating it to make
it spinnable, and the yarn is de-
scribed as having a peculiarly soft.
silky feeling The fiber has the ad-
vantage of being considerably cheaper
than cotton. but no information is at
hand showing the wearing qualities of
fabrics made from kapok yarn.
