for spectacles for cows, says an Eng-
lish newspaper.
Surely this must be a joke, said the
business men, or someone must have
blundered in writing the word cows,
for spectacles could certainly not be
needed for animals.
But there was no mistake. Cows on
the Russian steppes have long worn
spectacles to protect their eyes from
the glare of the snow, which stretches
for hundreds of miles on all sides till
late spring, and sets up a serious af-
fection that may result in total blind-
ness.
Snow blindness is not a new com-
plaint. There are many instances of
it in history. The glare of the sun
shining on the snow causes a pricking
pain; then there, is a sensation of grit
under the eyelids; light of any kind
becomes extremely painful • and the
sight begins to go. If the matter is
not -attended to, thie cyelids swell and,
the vision may remain impaired for
months.
Oia the vast steppes of Russia the -
cattle that graze during the early
spring, when the ground for hundreds
of miles is - whitet are
troubled with snow ,tajndness;'' but
several years ago an Englishman la -
vented a special form of spectacles
-
with brown glass which could be fas-
tened round the horns otecattle with
leather straps.
Quite a thriving business, grew up
in, the manufacture, of these spectacles,
but the war pat a stop to it, and the
cattle Nattered severely. Now Ruseia
is anxious to adopt the remedy again.
Mountain climbers and Arctic ex-
plorers have to wear blue or green
glasses when ,iI2 snow -clad regions,
and any neglect to do this may lead to
serious trouble.
No amount of familiarity or usage
gives immunity, even to the people
whose ancestors have lived amid the
snows for centuries. The Eskimos
have long made snow spectacles in a
very crude form from driftwood. This
is cut to the curvature ot the face:
a notch serves as a bridge for the
nose, and in each of the discs that
cover the eyes; where the wood isli
about two inches thick, --a narrow st,
about the width of a thin saw cut, is
made. Threugh the slits the light
passes to the eyes suffioiently dimin-
ished to prevent snow blindness.
Nausea used these Eskimo snow
spectacles in Greenland, and found
them very good as the absence' of
glass prevented the obscuring of the
sight by the condensation of moisture
on the lenses. Captain Perry, anear-
iter explorer, and his men, also wore
native snow spectacles. On one oc,J
casion, when a party of men set out
from Parry's boat without this pro-
tection, every man was struck with
blindness, and no one was able to di
-
tea the sledge.
Large bodies of men have some-
times, been affected by show blindness.
In -Peru a Whole division of the army
marching from' Cuzco to Pano became
blind, and a hundred guides had to be
summoned to lead them to their des-
tination. Many of the afflicted men
wandered away and tell over pre-
cipices,. In 1793, In the Alps, bodies
of Piedmontese troops were similarly
incapacitated.
But the lesson has now been leariied
and. modern travellers in snowy re-
gions invariably wear colored spec-
tacles; and thanks to English enter-
prise, which has done so much to fos-
ter kindness to animals, the. -lower
creatures are similarly protected.

Of jolly good times!
A field near one rriember's home had
been borrowed for the eceasion on a
Saturday atarnoore It was roped off
in true eireue style. A row of small
tents quite evideetly and audibly held
the side shows.
Pretty nearly everybody in the
neighborhood, and egme people Iron
the nearby town, had curiosity enough
to come, pay the entrance fee, and so
gain the privilege of a place by the
ring and a chance to explore the side

enough, were the band—all the mem-
bers playing kiteheeware instruments;
the midgets, the towering giant, the
fat lady, the bearded sisters, the
purple tow, the jabberwock, the
clowns, the pretty ladies in a chariot,
the wild beasts in cages—ie short, a
really fascinating assemblage of cir-
cus material.
and sister of two club members. They
were dressed in garments eut grown-
up fashion..
The giant, as may be imagined. was
a boy on stilts. A long duster coat
effectually concealed the wooden ex-
tension. A weird effect eould also be
gained by putting a mask on the brush
end of a broom, dressing the broom-
stick properly, and carrying it ere0.

The fat. lady was a boy unrecogniz-
ably stuffed out with pillows -covered
with the waist and skirt of a very
large size. '‘•She" rode, of course, in
the parade, sitting in a child's express
cart drawn by two lads, apparently
tugging fcr all they were worth, and
pushed by a third.
The bearded sisters were two girls
who put aside their feminine vanity
to the extent of allowing their hair
to be brought around eneh side of the
face, held there with spirit gum, and
then allowed to dangle in beard
fashion. ,,
The purple cow was a mysterious
ereature
our legs. purple Two boys composed the
skin, walking
strange animai, the first one -walking
bent over, the second following, and
resting his hands on the stooped back
of the first. In this position they had
been sewed into a purple cambric
revering with a tail and horns. The
hinelmost boy ewitched the tail, the
foremost one "mooed."
The clowns, the familiar plump cops,
-and blacked -up rascals were also .part
of the show. The pretty ladies were
much bespangled and betulled, and
rode on a float made from a lumber
wagon and draped with gay materials.
As for the beasts in their cages—
they caused a good laugh, for under
the label "Wild Australian Dog," Jim-
my Atkin' s collie was recognized. The
possibilities for a wild beast parade
are quite 'unlimited in the country,
where domestic aniinals are available.

A Clear Complexion.
A secret of bathing the face suc-
cessfully is first to open the pores of
the skin with warm water, then to
eleanse them thoroughly, and finally
to close them with cold water so that
as little -dirt as possible will lodge in
them.
Usually pure soap and water, with
plenty of sleep and fresh air, simple
food and sufficient exercise will keep
the skin clean and fresh, Bathe the
fa -ca every day with pure soap and
Will= soft Water and rinse it with
warm water and then with clean, cool
water. If the soap is not well washed
off, the skin will become dry and
tight.
Some skins, however, react more
favorably to a good told cream than
to soap and water. Avoid skin lotions
and beauty creams of which you now
little or nothing; experimenting with
such things may ruin your skin.
Choose a pure, cleansing cold dreeen.
Wash the face with a wash cloth and
warm water before you go to •bed;
then dry it and rub the cold cream well
into the skin. After a short time,
wipe off the cream with a towel that
has been dipped, in warm water; then
wash the face thoroughly with fresh,
warm water and finish by rinsing it
with cold water. Soma persons prefer
to leave the cream on overnight and
to wash it eff in the morning. There
is no objection to that plan.
Never try to clean your fele with
cold water alone, and when your face
is overheated do not wasb it in cold
water.
