The man who is unfortunate enough
to lose his sight, or to be born blind,
is, says a medical authority, severely
handicapped on dry ground, but he
can, II he is a swimmer, find his way
easily enough in the water. Blind
people generally have keen sense Of
hearing, and they can steer themselves
in the water by sound as well as an
ordinary man by sight. II they are
swimming toward a certain point, a
whistle from time to time win enable
them to reach it with unerring accu-
racy. This fact has recently been
proved b. some interesting expert
ments. A fsce between blind men
and ordinary swimmers on a lake re-
suited in a victory for the former.
Normal swimmers lose much time in
raising their heads for the purpose of
keeping their eyes on the winning
post. This also prevents them from
concentrating all their attention on
speed.

Getting Ahead Of the Sparrow.

To get ahead Of the English spar
row is truly desired victory. There
is a way. The sparrow will not nest
within FIVE feet of the ground, the
bluebird will, so one can put boxes for
them on tree trunks at a height Of
about "A feet There is way to en-
courage the charming and helpful lit
tie wren. Put in trees not too high up
small boxes with round holes in them
about the size of quarter. The spar
row can not enter, but the wrens can.
The CHEEKY warbling of the wren is
good to drive away the blues and
makes an optimist Of pessimist. The
warbling of the bluebird makes all
sorts of JOY pass over one and fills one
with the happy thrills Of childhood.
Down with the sparrow. but let us
encourage the better birds.-Breeders'

Tn this country criticism of the re-

bad grace. The woman was guilty
of murder of course, and she was
acquitted on grounds of sentiment

the case, but we acQuit hundreds of
.murderers in the United States every

the French woman is not a menace

most to a license system for certain

sponse to her repeated knocking, to
find the house full Of smoke and to
detect peculiar and offensive odor
as Of burning flesh issuing therefrom.
Calling a man nearby the two en-
tered the house together and on 60

Tkreath lying dead upon the floor,
about a foot from the stove, her
whole body except her feet having
been. so completely incinerated as to

burned. Besides her husband Mrs.
