The Nuntber Is Very I.nrge nud There I» No Effort to IVe dtieo tt. Tho large proportion of oliud people In Spain has attracted attention since the beginning of the present century. 'The subject is again brought up by an article by Privy Councilor Ilirsehberg in the German Medical Weekly giving the rc4ttltH of his recent observation in Spain, where he attended the hy gienic congress. He says the streets of Madrid svi;:rin with blind ut-ggars; ;the further south ho went tho more blind ho met. The proportion in Spain !as given in the census of l&oO is 11 to ;10,000, against eight to nino in Ger lnany, France and England; but tiiat llguro is eonwtiered undoubtedly false by eontiLCTitril authorities. More re cent figures gfve 14.5. Theeiii- i i-uuses !of blindness in Spain are inflamma tion of the eyes of infante, granula tion and smallpox. The widespread fatalistic nttitude of the sick, the lack 'of governmental oversight and the 6mall attention paid to disease of tho eye operate to increase the number of the blind in Spain. There is not a single public eye hospital in Spuin, ac cording to F-r. Hlrschborg; only wards in general hospitals and private Insti tutions. Instruction in diseases of the eye is neglected In the medical fehools, though there is hope that the new mod leal faculty in Barcelona, which has been organized within two ypars, may work an improvement In ophthalmol ogy in Spain.

Cleveland used to be somewhat sensitive over the gemeral regret so freely ecspressed before tho birth of the last child that there was no boy in tho family. It seemed to her to iinp'v a lack of appreciation of hc'T three little girls. A friend, who is mar ried and had a hon, visited the whits house one day. land when the children were brought in:ehe exclaimed: '.What a pity they are all girls!' Quick as a flash Mrs. Cleroland knelt, put her ams nbont the children and retorted!

Two years ago Lewis Nick tint, pro prietor of Nickum House, New Castle was fishing at Pulaski whet, his watch, worth frJOO, fell out his pocket to the bottom of the Shenango. Friday even ing a young man named Riley of onntrstown, while fishing at the same place, got his liook entangled and pulled out Nickum's watch. After beging oiled it ran and kept good time. A woman who claims to know, says the most satisfactory way to keep a ehirt waist down in the back is to stitch a little band at the waist line in the back on the outside of the garment with two buttonholes in the dress shirt.
