How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: when
was a cabin boy l often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea. what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out of
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darling from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands Of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a
storm long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under it,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. New York Trib-
une.

MOVING PICTURES
BOON TO INSANE
WEEKLY SHOWS PROVE HELP.
Full TO STATE WARDS
IN KENTUCKY.
PATIENTS KEEP GOOD ORDER
Crime, Suicide and Violence Avoided
In Selection of Films for Exhibition
Diversion Proves to Be Highly
Beneficial to Inmates.

Hopkinsville, Ky-A moving picture
machine has recently been installed in
the Western Kentucky Asylum for the
Insane here. This asylum cares for
1920 patients and among them are
those with every conceivable mania
Some are idiots pure with no minds
at ALL Others are very dangerous and
their wits seem to have been sharp
ened by their affliction and their ca
pacity for outwitting keepers and do
ing violence greatly increased There
is middle class of irresponsibles,
whose minds seem to come and go,
but who need constant watching.
There are, too, those who are trus-
ties and are allowed to go about the
grounds, work the farm and go into
town by themselves. But when the
picture shows are given only one class
is barred-idiots who have not suffi-
cient mental strength TO grasp the
subjects and follow the movement.
All the others go and everyone OF
them thoroughly enjoys the perform
ances.
When the State Board of Control of
Charitable Institutions and the asylum
officials decided that moving picture
machine would be good thing, they
bought the largest and best on the
market. They thea contracted for the
newest and highest class films and the
show is equal to s1y, Il not better,
than those you pay money to see
OF course, only the light and enter
tanning pictures are shown. Any sug-
gestion of murder, crime, violence or
suicide are Stunned as a pestilence,
for these would only aggravate the
hallucinations of the demented audi
ence rather than to lift them to more
cheerful levels of thought.
The patients are taken from wards
in columns of two and are seated on
long benches running across the hall,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-04-14

the men on one side of the room and
the women on the other, the attend
ants of each ward sitting with their
charges. The patients could give
points to many audiences on how to
keep order, for after being seated
they never move from their places
until the word is given.
Patients who can read the wording
descriptive or explanatory of pictures
as they are projected on the screen
have formed the habit of reading
aloud so the less fortunate patients
may understand, too. So from the
first they not only keep up with what
Is being shown, but anticipate the
movement of the play.
Both men and women seem to enter
especially into the action of the love
scenes. If they are funny, they laugh
with the actors; If they are sentiment
tai the audience takes on the mood
and if the lovers are disappointed the
audience grows sorrowful
Recently an attack of Indians upon
defenseless settlement was shown:
women and children were captured
and taken off to the Indian camp and
were about to be tortured when the
men of the settlement, who had learn
ed of the capture of their loved ones.
and had modified, attacked the In.
dams, put them to rout and rescued
their wives and children.
While the Indians were In the Al.
cendancy and it seemed that death
was to be melted out to the captiyes.
the patients expressed their feelings
by means and muttered words.
But when the whites routed the red
skins and once more had their dear
ones in their arms, the patients yelled
and applauded.
No matter what the subject NAV be.
the patients follow it closely. They ap-
plaud freely and always at the right
time and in the right way. according
to the sentiment being expressed.
Already 1t is believed that the NOV
Ing picture machine will become a fix
ture in all of the modernly equipped
asylums.

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, 1t
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side Of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which it is well to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article Is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards of 100000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
it's increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points, Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below it's earning capacity
The immigration branch of the Domin.
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, Ottawa

Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in this
paper.

ITCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

II suffered from the early part Of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first I
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc., found no relief what
ever. After that diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of it's dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
Of my scalp became so intense that I
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because Of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days I recognized a marked
change in my condition. I bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after a few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without cake Of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. I highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf.
fering from similar skin eruptions and
hope you will publish my letter so
that others may learn of Cuticura
Remedies and be cured" (Signed)

Preventing a Disturbance.

Colonel Scotchem was weary. He
had had a very arduous day retreating
from the enemy, and he wished to re-
coup his strength in order that he
might retreat still further on the NOR
row.
"MacPherson," he said to his new
servant, 'Im going to snatch forty
winks' sleep. Stay in my tent and
see that I'm not disturbed"
Mac saluted. Five minutes later the
shores of Colonel Scotchem were cut
short by the loud report of gun.
"Great Scott!" cried the colonel.
Are the enemy upon us?"
