Dr. Moreau of Saint -Etienne, Paris, France, publishes extraord- inary notes of the results of a sur- gical operation which restored the sight of a boy of 8 years. The child had double cataract from birth, and could barely distinguish day from bight. But the consciousness of ex- terior objects which sight refused was obtained by the development of his other senses to such a degree that he was able to distinguish the different cows in his father's stable by hearing them walk in the yard. After the operation and eight days in a dark room light was ad - pitted, and everybody anxiously awaited the child's first impres. lions. But he said nothieg, merely uttering a few inarticulate cries, After a few days more in the dark xoom again he was 'allowed free eight, but he showed no emotion and said that he did not know what ;various objects were with which he !was perfectly familiar by touch. He only recognized the hand of the sur - eon when he took it into his ower .and could tell wine only by smell ixnd so on. It was some time before he acquired the notion of colors, hut as soon as he did so they seem- ed of supreme importance, - over- shadowing everything else. Any- thing 5shown to him was black .or White, according to whether turned +.award the light or otherwise, and he now decomposed 'everything he saw into color points, like a silver point artist. e Fifteen months after lie was . in (hospital he had not yet learned to fead in spite of the assiduous •ef- orts of the nursing sister to teach $iim the alphabet. His father then took him away. A year later; when ,r. Moreau saw him in his own borne, the child had lot most of *,he ideas gained in hospital without aequiring new ones. The case ' is extraordinary at every point, and ' the patient seems less able to enjoy life than when he was totally blind. Nearly every man is true to his Arab love—himself. AN INFLAMMABLE CARGO. Mineral Water and Sodium Make a Bad Combination. The origin of the fire was, of course, in the radium. Medium is; a peculiar metal; which oxydizes ra- pidly when water touched it, and flames as sooi1. as the water bee4LCOSS warm. .Pi.ecording . to the chemist's classification, it is the second I?1c*n-. ber of. the alkali group that in- cludes lithium, potassium, rubidium and caesium,, All of these .elements have 'the same characteristics as sodium in greater or less degree. The sodium should have been ship- ped in hermetically .sealed tin cans enolosed in wooden cases. But the rolling of the ship and the careless stowing of the cargo broke, open some of these cases, and the sadi uric, which was not properly packed, was liberated. In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, water, if applied in sufficient quantity, w•111 eventually quench any fire. But the thousandth case, when water not only proves ineffectual, but ac- tually kindles and nourishes the. fire, is a perfectly possible occur-. renoe. The Boston • Herald prints an account of au extraordixlary fire at sea that shows how helpless is man in fighting the flames when de- serted by his ally, water. When the freighter Hardy steam- ed out of Le Treport, France, she carried, besides the mineral water in her hold, a number of small wooden cases marked "metallic - sodium." The Channel was rough. The vessel rolled and pitched violently. The captain saw that the ship was listing to port, and suspecting that the cargo was shifting, sent a boat- swain below to investigate. As the boatswain entered the hold, he saw that several cases of mineral water had broken, and that the water was swishing about in the hold. Then suddenly he saw one of the wooden eases marked "sodium" burst into flame. Immediately he gave the alarm, and the crew, rushed to their fire stations. The captain directed the men to play the hose into the hold. As the first stream of water struck the burning case, there were several explosions, as package after pack- age within the case caught fire. By this time two other eases of sodium had broken open, and their con- tents, as they came in contact with the water from the hose, burst into flames. The crew could not believe their eyes. The more water they poured on the fire, the more intense grew the conflagration.- Then- suddenly two cases flew into the air, 'crashed against theoverhead beams, and spread 'out in sheets of fire, the smaller pieces dropping back only to bounce and dance about, hot balls of flame, in the half -swamped hold. Panic-stricken, the crew dropped the hose lines and fled above decks. But the captain ordered the cargo flung into the sea, and led his men back into the hold. They succeed- ed in throwing several of the cases overboard. But as each case hit the waves, it rebounded into the air, a flaming ball. The superstitious crew was fast becoming unmanageable, and the captain saw that, in any • case, he must abandon the ship. He order- ed the crew to the boats not one moment too soon, for as the boats rowed away from the blazing hulk, several loud explosions came from the hold. Then there was one mighty detonation; the freighter broke in two, and plunged out of sight. Y FOR THE HAIR Restores the color, strength, beauty and softness to Gray Hair and is not a dye.

Martin Woolf, the member of the Alberta ' Legislature fpr Cardston, is making .his influence felt in the Provinei.al Parliament.. Last year Mr. Woolf was honored -'with the Preinier's request that he second the 'speech at the opening of the session. This year the C•ardeton member made grave charge's. When the glow of health comes back to sallow cheeks; when lan- guid weakness gives place to vigor when you notice some pale, ex- hausted hausted invalid restored to active health—enquire. More than likely you will find the cure to have been yet another of the 'thousands .al ready wrought by Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills. Headache and- neural- gia, St. Vitus dance and twitch- ing of the limbs, indigestion and rheumatism, eczema and disfiguu= ing eruptions, and the ailments of ,growing girls and women all dist appear when the veins are fille2l with the new, 'rich blood Dr.. Wil- liams' Pink Pills actually make. Here is one instance among thous- ands; housands; Mr. F. Ashford, Haileybury, Ont., says: "Some years ago I com- pleted a lengthy term of service in India, the last three years 'being spent in the beautiful but treacher- ous Peshawar Valley. Ague and. dengue fever were rife, and al- though I was fortunate enough to escape a severe attar oT either, on my return home it soon became apparent that the enervating4i- matie conditions had left their ravages on my constitution. In short the reaction had set in, and inexhorable nature was exacting a severe toll from years of strenuous labor.My first warning of the im- pending breakdownq�were severe pains in tyle -')sok. of the head and eyes, insomnia, irritability, a gen eral anaemic condition: and an in definable usrr+o. usnese, Life lost its zest, . work became impos_ sible and companionship intoler able. It really seemed that I was swiftly passing to that stage where nervousness enols and insanity be- gins, ` when by chance- I read an advertisement of Dr. Pink Pills. I confess I. was skejiti- cal of them doing what doctors had failed to do, but concluded that the cost was small, and perh:lps,. the chance in their favor, and so decided to try them. To my .joy there was soon an improvement, and a continuance of the treat- ment effected a complete 'cure.' I was now as fit and healthy as any man and am grateful that the lucky perusal of an advertisement brought to my notice the wonderful' curative properties • of Dr. Wil- liams' illiams' Pink Pills." -H t H iB t.zip t ra r r ' °•�i,.��•^x�• :; it � Y r•1 �� `a, FV � ,oty' 4��.� y 'ts � tf L . r ' • os ..yx �{�w. �r ' hf, w, ����'�'.;s ^. -fisAR•y8.�4AF,',</i•.''i' -.

Draw Bridal Carriage at Wedding of British Navy Lieutenant. A bride and bridegroom in full wedding regalia driving in an open carriage drawn by bluejackets pro- vided an unusual spectacle last week in Victoria Street, London, England. The occasion was the wedding of Lieut. Frederick A. Buckley, R.N., H.M.S. Excellent, son of Mr, and Mrs. Buckley, 'of Crouch End, and Miss Eva Gods- kesen, only daughter of the late Dr. Godskesen and Mrs. Gods- kesen of Copenhagen, and the cere- mony had been performed at St. Margaret's, in 'Westminster. While the wedding was proceed- ing in the church a dozen hluelack- ets, looking very smart in their. sailor blue with white straw hats. and gay buttonholes, quickly ttln- horsed the bridal carriage and lin- ed up four abreast to draw the couple to the hotel, where the re- ception was held. Bluejackets froth the bridegroom's ship also formed` an archway of -honor with . their cutlasses from St. Margaret's to the carriage. Her Father (sternly)—Young man, can you support my daughter in the style she's been accustomed I Lover (briskly) ---I can, but I'd be ashamed to. Tragedies of Disobedience. One frequently roads 'distressing ac- counts of accidents to children, accidents which seem unnecessary and' preventable. There was an item just the other day con- cerning a little four-year-old, 'who climbed up to a high cupboard, severed a bottle of Of poison and drank it. We call such, oc ourrenoee accidents, and no doubt many of them are. But many others, it is cer- tain, are merely the natural result of a very general and regrettable cause. And this cause is the laxness of modern par- ental discipline, The laziness of parents who. will not take the, time and trouble to enforce obe- dience fibre their children almost belongs in the class of criminal negligence. Strict disoipline, not indulgence, le what makes for the real happiness of children; and also it is the beet means of securing their safety. Dangerous objects cannot always be kept from their reach, but children can be taught not to meddle with the pro- perty of others, and they can be taught to obey absolutely. There is very little of this absolute obedience seen lately. One of the new playa of the fall deals with that very subject, the domination of mod- ern children over their parents. Hnfartu. nately it 1s a weak play, not adequate to the theme. But what a subject that is for a playwright of the day, full of tragic as 'well as comic possibilities. A 200•foot Flagpole. `The erection of a flagpole in front of the Provincial Court. House at 'Vancouver. B.C„ has presented unusual features be- cause of the desire to use a long, single stick, representative of the timber re- ouroos of the Province, and to so place It that its base would be secure from de- cay. ,A, suitable timber was out and de- livered in the rough at the Court House in the fall of 191.2. It was left for a year to neason, when there would be no likeli- hood of Its curving when drying. In Sep- tember, 1913, it was moved on rollers to its final location. The flagpole is 208 feet long, 36 inches in diameter at, the base and 10 inches at the top, and when ready 'for erection 'weighed about ten tons. Sur- mounting the pole is a four -foot globe and a twenty -foot weathervane en the shape of an arrow. Extension of Suffrage in Europe. Evidences abound of the steady onward march of democracy in Europe through the enlargement of the suffrage. Less than a century ago the suffrage Camel first poked his nose into the government tent. 11'o -day both his front feet are in- side everywhere except in Russia and the Balkans. Italy hag just granted what is preeti- oally manhood suffrage, without property al- lowed to ivote In Even illiterates approachi ag b el. tions. And now in Denmark the struggle that began in earnest forty years ago for a more liberal voting franchise bids fair to be victorious, The Banes have been fighting for a re- dtnotion of the voting age limit tb twenty- five years, for the extension of the suf- frage -to women on the same basis as that of males,' for the removal of property qualifications for voting and for the popu- larization of the upper house of the Dan. 'fah Parliament. All these Measures 'will go into effect provided they are indorsed by a majority of the electors in the forthcoming appeal to' the country, and of that there is said not to be the slightest doubt. The on- aomfng wave of popular rule has washed the shores' of Denmark and is likelyto wet the feet of standpat Danes. ilaciai Butt of Rudeness, All races are caricatured upon the stage.

In France a new system of road desig- nationconveniencefor theof tourists has been adopted. Every road in the country will be given a name and a number and these designations will be painted upon direction poets at the road crossings and the 100 -meter poste along the Toads. The highways of Prance are classified as na- tional roads, department roads, and so on. The roads in each case will be numbered. The direction post 'will state the olase of highway and the number of the road. The tourist starting on a journey will need only a strip of figures, and he will be able to find his way anywhere. Capitalized 'An Idea. Thomas A. Sperry, the inventor of trad. ing stamps, died recently, leaving an estate valued at $10,000,000. Young men who are discouraged because they lack capital to establish great enterprises should consider the case of Thomas Sperry and take heart. He capitalized an original idea and made it worth $10,- 000,000. The world has places of honor and dis- tinction for men who can think, who can lift their minds out of the endless circle of aimless thinking and give definite ection to their thoughts. Thomee merry observed the custom of sone utero ante to give t .sir Customers what tj}ite French ee" 'Kagmappe" and the spanisi� cath `iieloil.Re conceived the idea 5 systematizing the practice and making it a magnet to draw trade.

Is Arnold Bennett a happy man l The question may seem superfluous and even impertinent, but it is prompted by a little book called "The Plain Man and His Wife" which he has just published. He points out that the plain man tends to make his life all means and no end; to become too busy to examine the treasures of his soul; to grind away doggedly without experienc- ing the joys of consciousness. We do not clap our friends oftep enough on the back, or if we do it becomes just a habit which annoys them and gives us no satisfaction; there are those among us who spring out of our beds shouting Hurrah! but after a time this be- colnes ap much a part of the routine as shaving. Ur, Bennet asks whether there is not a remedy, and though his own principles would not permit him to go so far, he tells us that his plain man will presently become explo- sive and even relinquish his forti- tildes in favor of a little fun. Of course there is not asimple remedy, but we are invited to acqu-Ia' soul '• kin4 _of . p j -JCn ledge and to ale- teritiine whicfhh things 'really interest and which bore us. It may be ob- jected that one cannot be happy by, trying, but it is Mr. Bennet6 g point that you can, and he has a way of being right. Your money back if Giu Pills do not cure.
