Blind Doqs and Rats.

Canines born blind or that become blind by accident are able to smell and paw their way into the most inac- cessible and out of the way places. It is practically impossible to starve them, lose them or trap them. Fur thermore, blind dogs learn as quickly as those that see. Loss of sight in no way interferes with their ability to learn tricks, acquire habits or find their bed.
 Rats, as a matter of fact, if they use their eyes at ala doubtful matter can see little or nothing of the world. The rctina of these creatures has no point of perfect vision such as is found in the higher animals and man; hence their noses. muscles. touch and hear ing give them information about the world they live in.

EYES IN PORTRAITS.
Why Some AIways Seem to Gazs Right
 at You and Some Never Do.

1B vOo oU0 SVUtO tN0NUV Ses
 You probably have noticed that some faces in pictures seem to follow you; also that in other pictures there are faces which are not looking at you, but no matter where you walk, even though 1t be in the direction in which they seem to be looking, you will never find the face looking at you. Indeed, faces in pictures are either looking at us from wherever we look at them or else they never look at us from wherever we look at them. The same is true of photographs.
 The rule is very simple. If the per son who was being painted or photo graphed was looking at the painter or the camera. then wherever you stand he will seem to be looking at you. If he was looking on one side, then wher- ever you stand he will seem to be look ing on that side of you. This works very queerly if you have group of people who were all looking at the camera when they were photographed. If you look at the photograph from one side they all seem to turn to follow you and then to turn back if you look at it from the other side. But if they were not looking at the camera you can never get them to look at you.-Kansas City Star.

Rice Culture.

The culture of rice is alluded to in the Talmud, and there is evidence that it was grown in the valley of the Euphrates and in Syria before 400 B. c. It was taken into Persia from India and later into Spain by the Arabs. Thence it's culture was intro duced into Italy about 1468 A. D. The Spaniards are also responsible for its introduction into Peru and other sec tions of Spanish America during the early colonial period, but the exact date has not been definitely determin- ed. The first introduction of rice cul- ture in the Americas seems really to have been in Brazil.

Find Out Whether You Are Pronnstsr
 or . caretaSer.
 In the American Magazine writer says:
 "Allthe world of men is divided into two classes-caretakers and promoters The most important decision a man can make in his business lie is to de- termine in which one of these two classes he belongs.
 Really I have come to believe that at least half of tl.e sorrow and failure and heartachc in the business world comes simply because men won't rec ognize that law. Square pegs in round holes what are they? Just promoters in caretakers' jobs. that's all, or vice versa. Brilliant subordinates who fail utterly in business on their own ac- count? Simple enough. They are care takers-splendid, efficient, successful caretakers-and they get the wrong idel that they are meant to be some thing else. A great big business sud denly begins to stageer and fail apart, and everybody wonders why. But ap- ply the same law and it's easy-too many promoters or too many caretak- CTS, not the proper working mixture of each.
 Alexander was a promoter of the first order. He conquered the world. But where were the caretakers to con- serve and consolidate and solidify? They just weren't, that's all. and Alex. ander's empire fell to pieces almost be- fore his ashes were cold. A few hun dred years later Caesar conquered the world, and his empire stood for gener ations. Why? Because Augustus, one of the great caretakers of history. fol lowed Caesar"
