Sharp Eyes.

a man has sharper eye than a dog, or
fox, or than any of the wild creatures,
but not so sharp an car or nose. But in
the birds he finds his match. How quickly
the OLD turkey discovers the hawk, a mere
speck against the sky, and how quickly the
hawk discovers you if you happen to be Sc

enough, though the flickcrlng leaves do
ail conspire to hide them), and that with
ike ease the birds see me, though unques-
tionally the chances are immensely In their
favor. The eye sees what 1t has the means
of seeing, truly. You must have the bird
i'll your heart before you can find it in the
bush. The eye must have purpose and
aim. No one ever yet found the walking
fern who did not have the walking fern in
his mind. Nevertheless, the habit of OBJ
scrvation is the habit of clear and decisive
gazing; not by first casual glance, but
by steady, deliberate aim of the eye are
the rare and characteristic things discover
cd. You must look intently and hold your
eye firmly to the spot, to sec more than do

shooter picks out his man and knows him
with fetal certainty from stump, or a
rock, or cap on a pole. The phrenolog-
ists 40 well to locate not only form, color,
weight, etc, IN the region of the eye, but
faculty which they call Individuality
That Which separates, discriminates and
sees in every object its essential character.
This is just as necessary to the naturalist as
to the artist or the poet. The sharp eye
notes specific points and differences
selzes upon and preserves the individuality
OF the thing. Persons frequently describe
to me some bird they have seen or heard
and ask me to name 1t, but in most cases
the bird might be any one of dozen, or
else it Is totally unlike any bird found in
this continent. They have either seen
falsely or else vaguely. Not 80 The farm
youth who wrote me ono Winter day that
he had seen single pair of strange birds,
which he describes as follows: "They
were about the size of the chip pie, tho
tops of their heads were red, aud the breast
OF the male was Of the same color, while
that of the female was much lighter their
rumps were also family tinged with red.
If l have described them 80 that you would

There can be little doubt but the young OBJ
server had seen pair of red polls, "a bird
related TO the goldtinch, and that occasion

the far north. Ano her time, the same
youth wrote that he had seen a strange
bird, the color of q sparrow, that aIighted

ground, and that walked. This last fact

A New Puzzle with Words.

Students at the Boston Institute of Tech
nology have designed a rival to the Gem
puzzle, which is beginning to excite con
siderable interest about town. Given two
words of an equal number Of letters, the
problem is to change one to the other by
altering ono letter at time OF the first so
as to make legitimate English word, con
tinuing the alterations until the desired re-
suit Is attained. The conditions are that
only one letter shall be altered TO form each
nc word, and that none but words when
can be found In English dictionaries shall
be used. Here arc some examples of tho
changes.
East to West East, vast, vest, West.
boot to Shoe-Boot, SCOT, ehot, Shoe.
Dog to Cat--Dog, dig. fig, fit, fat, Cat.
Milk to Hash--Milk, mile, male, mate,
hate, hath, Hash.
Road to RAILROAD, rood, root, coot,
coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, Rail.
Soup to Fish--Soup, soul, coil, foil,
fowl, fool, foot, coot, cost, cast, fast, fist,
Fish.
The game Is becoming quito popular in
offices as well as in family circles and a,
fliesides, and seems to furnish instruction
with amusement.

Modern British KspIcldes.

During Louis Phillppc's reign and the
four following years, attempts were made
upon the life Of Queen Victoria by Oxford
in 1910, and bya workman named Francis
in 1912; upon the King of Prussia, Ere
derrick William ~ in 1914, and again in
1850; upon the present Emperor OF Ger
many, then military commander of Coblcnz,
In 1919; and upon Isabella, Queen Of
Spain, in 1852. None of these attempts
succeeded. Oxford, who shot at Queen
Victoria while she was passing on Con.
stitutlon Hill, was Clearly lunatic, and
consigned to Beulam as such. He remained
there about twenty-five years, and whilst

Lament passed a bill enacting that nogging

seeking to inflict bodily harm upon the
Queen, or to threaten her. 1t was by vir-
tue Of this act that the young fool O'Con-
nor, who lcveled pistol at the Queen In
1869, was sentenced to be imprisoned for
year, and to receive twenty strokes with
birch. The Queen kindly rcmittcd the
whole punishment, and caused the boy to
be supplied with funds that he might emil

year after he had been shipped off to South

Perseverance and health.

n man who inhcrits wealth may begin
and worry through thrcescore and ten years
without any definite object. In driving,
in foreign travel, IN hunting and fishing, in
club houses, and society, he may manage
to pass away his time; but he will hardly

health that the powers Of man may be
trained upon some object and steadily held

vitality lasts. There may come time in
old age when the fund Of vitality will have

Poisonous Water Coiors.

The singular statement appears In the
Chenather Zeitung that, IN searching into
the causes of the death Of a young engineer,
there were found in the corpse remarkable
quantities of arsenic, attributed to the
colors which the deceased had been Ia the
habit Of using, for, on analysis, II was
found that a specimen of sepia contained
2.OS per cent Of arsenious acid, one OF
terra di sienna, 5. IA per cont, anG one of
red brown 3.18 per cont. The deceased
engineer having been in the habit OF draw.
Ing his brush, charged with colors, through
his lips, tits thought not impossible that
the arsenical colors were absorbed by de.
grees IN tho saliva. Further Investigation
Of thesdark colors Of French make showed
the following quantities Of arsenic: Coloret
sepia LILO per cent, natural sepia y. 90 der
cent. burnt sienna 1.78 and 1923, Var
Dyke brown 0.8l, brown ochre 0.52, sar

Leopold and Louise.

Their Royal Highnesses, Princess Louise
and Prince Leopold, when recently in De-
troit en- route for Chicago, a reporter saws,
tile most noticeable feature about tho party
was the entire absence of elaborate dress
ing or any indication Of royalty. The Prin-
cess was dressed in black, with a white
ruching about the neck. Her dlcss was
rather short, and so far rs the casuatobser.
yer could determine, her jcwclry was con-
spicuous solely for its absence. She wore a
dark hat with red facing in front, and On
her hands were what woman in the Third
street depot characterized as "nothing but
cotton, rs sure as you're born." The Prin-
cess Louise is not beau iful, but apparently
she is woman with happy disposition
that shines out in what would be called by
many real good face" Good she cor
tainly looks, and when she smiles she comes
near to passing for handsome, which she
undoubtedly is not. OF all the conspicuous
! ones in the party she seemed least affected
by her position. Prince Leopold, who has
a less intelligent face than his sister, is a
tair-sklnncd young man, who looks younger
than he is--twenly seven. He was dressed
In light snit, with the exception of his
small, round, black hat. His dark halr has
tendency to curl and Is parted very near
the middle. A light mouslache and poatec
serve to relieve an extremely fair face
which would be handsome but for certain
heavncss that robs it Of any intellect
ual look 1t might have. Generally he
strikes one as belonging to that great rank
of ''extra harmlsss," though he is credited
with being studious. His walk is some
thing terrible; it reminds one of the old
"Greclan beni' gait, but is, if anything,
more mlncing, and, therefore, more comlcal.
The Prince appears like an extremely ami
able young man, however, and this he
probably is

Sims Reeves, tho Tenor.

The famous English tenor, Sims Reeves,
contcmplatcs retiring from his profession.
AS he rust be nearly sixty years old, and
Is very rich, the wisdom of such course
seems undeniablc, though he Is still with
out rival In oratorio singing. About
fifteen years ago his voice doteriorated
considerably, but soon rcgaincd it's power.
1t il an open secret amongst the profession
that hc is obliged to have a1l his songs
trdnsposed couple of tones lower than he
used to sing them. Sims Reeves was,
cnrlously enough, both idolized and hated
ny the English public. 70 account for
this, 1T must be borne III mind that he never
could be depended on to fulfil his engage
menls. This gave start TO all Sorts Of
stories about his being a confirmed drunk
ard. Bat they were utterly untrue, rs tho
f"ct that lie has retained his voice to his
present age conclusivcly proves. The
truth is that his throat was always most
delicate; simple journey by rail was often
sufficient to make him :'as hoarse rs a
crow" In the height Of summer he did not
dare to walk across Hyde Park without rs
many wraps around hls neck as an ordinary
man would wear with the thcrmom cler be-
low zero. Reeves was native OF Wool
wich, and as Il boy attracted the attention
Oh inc oncefs ol ing garrison by his muslca!
talent. lie began his career rs a baritone,
and the real register OF his voice was not
discovered for some time. Even in those
early days his throat was most susceptible
to cold and fatigue, and after any severe
cxcrlon he was liable to spit blood. Much
OF his subsequent success was due to tho
care taken of him by his wife, who sacri-
feed her own musical career for tho sake
of looking after that of her husband. She
took as much care of him as a trainer does
OF the favorlte Of tho Derby, and during
years and years waited for him behind the
scenes with beef tea, garglcs and other
rcstolutivcs. The report about Reeves
habits of intoxication arose from his fond
moss for beef tea. lie was accustomed to
carry about with him pocket flask of that
nutritious but insipid beverage, and persons
seeing him constantly interviewing the
little bottle, jumped at tho conclusion that
1t contained brandy.
