The Science of making Eyes"
Woman's chosen weapon is the eye,
and an important feature Of this new
system from abroad is education in
the use of that lovely organ. Within
a certain range the female OF our
species has an instructive perception
OF the manner in which her optical
apparatus should be employed upon
the complimentary creature in panta-
looms; but science has reduced the
subject to exact terms. Charts have
been pr-epared-Washington girls are
studying them-showing that the eye
has 729 distinct expressions, convey
ing as many different shades of mean
ing. The proper thing to do is to pro
cure OF these charts, and repro
duce with your own eyes the 100 ex-
pressions before a mirror. When yon
have mastered them all, try them ON
other people and see how they work.
IL is popularity imagined that the
eyebali itself is an expressive thing,
but as a matter of fact, the ball Of the
eye has scare amy expression at all.
That all depends on the lids and
brows. The upper lid does the intel.
lectual; its position is regulated By

THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Some of the Contests Close and
Exciting.

Although the tennis tournament
came to /. temporary halt Yesterday
afternoon when the rain poured down
in torrents. as it did about 5 o'clock,
enough had been accomplished during
the day to make it possibility to fiD-
ish the entire play by Saturday evening.
One of the prettiest exhibitions OF ten
mis- during the morning was the contest
between E. p. Gates and f. f. Wallace,
which was won by the latter by the close
score of 81, SIS, 6-5. At several
points in the last set the series
could have been won by either man in
one stroke, but neither was able to
make the necessary point for some
time, until finally by a most brilliant
return Wallace won the series. The in
terest centered in the events scheduled
for the afternoon, which were the con-
tests between Angel and Sands and
Belden and Codd. Promptly at 3 O'clock
Angel and Sands began their series.
Angel won the toss and chose the south
court, giving Sands the sun and wind to
play against. In the first four games
Angel had everything his own way
then showed tight and made quite
SUl uSSlC lOl UilO uS-AO anu WIN IL,
Angel taking the next. Sands then
took another, in which Angel failed to
score a point. But Angel managed to
get two more and won the set. In the
second set the play was more exciting
than in the former, and at the end of
eight games the score was four each.
Then Angel took the game and Sands
was about to do likewise, with the
score forty to fifteen, when in jumping
for a high ball, Angel fell and
hurt his ankle so that he
was unable to continue at that time, so
the game was poStpoSed- q. p. Cold
and George K. Belden then took the
courts and played very strong and
even match throughout, COdd getting
the first set by a score of 6-3, and Bel
den taking one by score of GA. Just
as the deciding set was beng begun the
rain set in and every one sought shelter
at the hotel. In the evening, as there
was not sufficient wind for sail, the
yachting party was given up, and a
dance substituted, which was undoubt-
edly as pleasant for those interested.
Tomorrow will find the tournament
close onto the finals, and the play will
be more and more exciting as the con-
test narrows down. Tomorrow even
ing the grand tennis hop of the week
will take place, and will be an elegant
affair. The scores to-day will be as fol-
lows:
Wallace VS.. Gates, 81. SO, 6-5
Whittlesey VS.. Thomas, 6-3. 6-3
Belden VS.. Whittlesey, 60, 60.
Morse vs. Clarke, 6-3, Ga
Hawley Bros. VS. Thomas and Saumis, go,
60.
The unfinished sets were:
Angel VS., Sands. 6-5, Sd
Good VS.. Belden. 6-3, 40.

USELESS TO ENGLAND.
Gladstone Endorses the Cession of
Heligoland.

Gladstone Endorses the Cession of
Heligoland.
LONDON, July 24.-In the house of
commons tonight Sir James FERGUSON,
under foreign secretary, i'll moving the
ratification of the cession of Heligoland,
declared that England had obtained an
ample equivalent for the island. He
ligoland was, in fact, useless to Eng
land. The rights acquired in Zanzibar
were not only Quid pro quofor Heligo-
land, but had doubled EngIand'S in
fluence OH the East African coast, and
enormously increased her influence in
the interior. MIR. Gladstone supported
the governments motion, and paid
tribute to Lord Salisbury for etfecting
the agreement with Germany, which he
said, was conceived in a spirit of regard
for the best interests Of England.
He blamed the government, however,
for not having first secured an agree
ment with France in regard to her
claims in Zanzibar, but it was difficult
to comment on omission without cauS-
ing embarrassment to the government,
which he desired to avoid, He thought
it matter of regret that the offices of
prime minister and minister of foreign
affairs should ever be confined in one
person, as the two together required
what was beyond the possibilities OF the
human brain, unless the incumbent
possessed the powers OF
Napoleon or a Cromwell.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the course of fur
Their remarks, said that he would take
no part in the division ON the bill. He
would not vote against the measure. be-
cause the queen could. If she chose,
give Heligoland to Germany without the
consent of parliament. and he was not
disposed to take part in creating
precedent Oh a subject of such profound
practical Importance in the c0nstitu
ton. Mr.. G0Schen, chancellor of the
exchequer, expressed approval OF Mr..
Gladstone's attitude in regard to the
governments cesSiOn Of HeligOland.
Sir William Harcourt said that the con-
Stitutional practice in such cases was
for the house to move an address to
the crown approving the whole
agreement. But in this case the
government had introduced such a
bill as had never before been heard of.
He cited presidents to show that terri
tory had repeatedly been ceded in times
of peace without an act of parliament.
The Introduction of bill opened up an
immense question. He believed the
government had taken this course owing
to sheer ignorance of the proper method
of procedure. Mr.. Balfour, chief sec
rotary for Ireland, ridicuIed the idea of
Sir William Harcourt appearing in the
role of championing the prerogatives Of
the crown. He twitted Sir William with
being actuated by dread of putting
power in the hands of the house Of
lords. AS for himself, Mr.. Balfour
hoped that the precedent now estab-
lished would always be adhered to in
the future, and that no cession of terri
tory in time f peace would ever be
made without the sanction of parlia-

The Raccoon Embraced the Dog.
New York Tribune.
That the raccoon is the smallest rep
resentative of the bear family is fact
very well known to naturalists, and
generally set forth in dictionaries, but
the average hunter refuses to recognize
the relationship. SilaS Barnes, of New

was finally convinced at dawn the other
day that the familiar coon is true urSa
minor, and his eighteen-pound bull ter
rier learned lesson at the same time,
but too late to profit by it.
The hunter and his dog had passed
the night in the woods at the foot OF
Storm King mountain, on the Cornwall
side. and at daybreak Barnes "treed" a
coon in tall pine. He never carries a
gun because, he says, it frightens the
game he wants to catcll-and, besides,
he hasn't one. He climbed the tree and
drove the coon down, noticing, as it
passed him, that it seemed to be con-
siderably more bulky than his dog.
Then he sat on bough about thirty
feet from the ground to watch the
sport.
He saw the terrier seize the 'coon by
the throat. The shaggy animal made
desperate effort to release itself. Fall
ing in this. it stood upon its hind feet,
and, throwing its strong fore legs
around it's enemy's body, it gave him a
deadly hug. The dogs eyes bulged.
and so did those of the hunter, for
never before through long experience
as woodsman had he seen anything
like this. He went so rapidly to the
rescue that he fell the last ten feet, but
he was too late. The coon was gone
and the terrier was gasping his life
away. The blood that welled from some
ruptured organ filled his mouth, his
back was badly lacerated, and in few
minutes he was dead.
The squeeze of the little bear had
been more than even his seasoned frame
could stand.

State league is not party to the ma

pension of the two men does not pre-

that the action of the two striking ball
players will result in their being black

who played with Minneapolis the first
part of the season, is also a member Of

ocrat
E. NJ. TutwiIer, superintendent of the
Sloss Iron and Steel company's mines
at Coalburg, has, preserved in alcohol,
the largest black spider ever seen in
this section.
A few days ago Tutwiler heard a
great commotion among the chickens in
his yard. He went out to investigate,
and saw small chicken being slowly
drawn into hole in the ground. Some
invisible reptile had caught the chick
by one leg and was drawing it into the
hole in spite of its desperate struggles.
TutwiIer approached, and, looking
down in the hole, discovered an i'm
mense black spider. He punched it
with stick and compelled it to release
the chicken. He then dug the spider
out of its den and placed it in a jar of
alcohol. 1t lived an hour after being
placed in the jar. When dead the spi-
der was taken out. weighed and meas
ured. 1t measured two and One-half
inches across the back and weighed
nine ounces. Its longest legs were
four and half inches in length, and it's
eyes were as large as a hotel clerks di-
almonds.
