How to Save Time.

There are little time savers OF the
toilette which are worth learning. In
threading ribbon or tape through lin
gerie, a wooden match makes an eX-
cellent substitute for bodkin. 1t is,
however, possible to do without thread
ing the ribbon at all. and, when about
TO send the garment to the laundry, Il
piece of narrow tape should be tied to
the end of the ribbon and the latter
drawn out of the thread holes, leaving
the tape in its place. The knot is then
unfaStened, and the set of lingerie can
be sent to the wash, the ribbon being
replaced on its return in exactly the
same manner. In the case of tho1e
whose lingerie is entirely ornamented
with rows of ribbon run beading, this
plan may save many quarters of an
hour during the week

THE BLIND WHO SEE.
By EDWN A. NYE.

General William Booth. head of the
Salvation army, is declared by his ply
sicians to be ''hopelessly blind"
No. They are mistaken.
General Booth has merely lost his
eyesight. He is not hopelessly blind.
What do mean? This:
Few OF US are able with our natural
ton. Oculists tell US we can see not
more than 30 per cent OF the objects
at which we look.
But
We can see farther and more with
our minds than with our eyes. With
our eyes we may see one side OF a
thing while with our minds eye" we
may see many sides.
With our mental vision or spiritual
sight when we are at our best we see
things as they are. because the spirit
ual vision is strong And it is never
hopeless.
Think. then. of what this old man
can see in his so called blindness.
During his almost ninety years he
has looked upon the spectacle of Il
world in need. He has not cared 10 see
material things such as houses and
works of art He has gone to the
haunts of the wretChed to see suffer
ing
Where others eyes have looked upon
the homes OF vice and woe and want
and were turned away. shocked and
appalled, by that which they have seen.
the eyes OF William Booth have been
turned in keenest sympathy.
And thus seeing. he has not turned
away. save it may be TO find some way
by which the suffering might be re-
lieved. the hayward saved and the
hopeless redeemed
And this vision of Il world of sin and
suffering he still can see.
And seeing, he can help.
Hopelessly blind?
Why. this good old seer is one of the
few living men who can see things MS
they are and as they ought to be.
What Il vision must come to the
grand old mana vision of men and
| women fallen low. a vision Of minis
| help these fallen ones to arise, a vision
| from the spiritual hills whence all his
| marvellous strength has come,
Blind?
| Why. he can see both earth and par
ndi~e.

JARED THE EXPERT.

big offices they're collecting thumb
prints of the stars already signed up
Further than the marks are ''for the
purpose of Identification" none OF the
collectors will give any information
about them.
az know what those thumb marks
are for" said Broadway loiterer
1.-THE managers are going to have the
contracts so marked in order to make
them more binding"
That's not it," said another. 1.-The
managers have probably adopted that
method of permitting every star to
make his mark in the profession."-

easy time in the Revolution when
they struck South Carolina, but Gen.
