What Tears Are Made OF.

The principal element in the composition
of a tear, as may readily be supposed, is
water. The other elements are SALT soda,
phosphate Of lime, phosphate of soda and
mucus, each in small proportions.
A dried tear seen through a microscope
of good average power presents peculiar
appearance. The water, after evaporation,
leaves behind it the saline ingredients,
which amalgamate and form themselves
into heightened cross lines, and look like a
number Of minute fish bones.
The tears are secreted in what are called
the "lachrymal glands" situated over the
eyeball and underneath the lid. The con-
tents Of these glands are carried along and
under the inner surface of the eyelids by
means of six or seven very fine channels,
and are discharged little above the carti-
1age supporting the lid.
The discharge of tears from the lachry-
NAL glands is not occasional and accidental,
as is commonly supposed, but continuous.
II goes on both day and night-though less
abundantly at night-through the ICON
duits," and spreads equally over the sur
face Of the lids.
After serving its purpose the flow is car
Tied away by two little drains, situated in
that corner Of each eye nearest the nose,
Unto which they run, and called the "lachry-
anal points. "-Brooklyn Standard.

A Growing Industrial Union.

The Buffalo On. " Women's Educa-
tional and Industrial union hopes to ex-
tend It's work The report Of the late
annual meeting says: More room is
already required for the various depart
ments. A hall must be built on our
vacant lot for lectures, coterie meetings
and receptions. In the high, light base
ment there must be ample room for the
college of domestic training which we
expect to establish. The old building
must be adapted to the new, and some
much needed changes must be made. 1t
has been suggested that we set apart one
large room which shall represent the
achievements OF women, there to be
placed, among many other things, works
of art by women and manuscripts of
famous woman authors. We do not
know of a room in any public building
in our land consecrated entirely to the
result of woman's work; the Buffalo
union may set good example. Woman
artists and authors would gladly con-
tribute to enrich and beautify such a
memorial to their sex. We have already
one valuable cabinet of shells and min
erals, given in memory of the wife of one
of our well known citizens. If this
dream, as it has been called, shall be-
come a reality, marble bust of Julia
Ward Howe is promised, the gift of a
woman sculptor"

His Way OF Advertising.

81 beg pardon for intruding upon your

the small valise in his hand. "A peddler
is a nuisance. / know it as well as any

oilers, and all of us must live. 1t isn't our
fault that we are here. Those Of us that

his valise and taking out n sDlan cake of
SOAP and sponge, II shall be happy to re-
move it, and without charging a cent and
without asking anybody to buy my soap.
It's my way of advertising. My dear sir,
allow me. There is a little spot on your

deity applied the sponge, made a few
passes over the cloth with piece Of cotton

"There, sir, that spot is gone. You viii

bridging Rchrinr Straits.

Engineering skill has been advanced SC
far that no project is now sufficiently stu
pendous to appal the imagination. Plans
have accordingly been drawn to bridge
Behring Straits and construct an all rail
'route to Europe via Asia. The chief diff
culty-one that for the present at least is
1nsurmountable-is, such a road would not
pay and therefore could not command the
necessary capital. As TO the construction
of two bridges, each twenty miles long,
across the arm of the sea, that could
probably be done if there was money in it.
But in spite Of the assurance that the eli.
mate is mild, owing to the Pacific Gulf
stream, and that there is no danger from
ice, it would require some education of the
travelling public 10 induce them TO risk
their lives on such a bridge.-New Orleans

stork's Pathetic Romance,

A strange and pathetic romance ended
happily at the Old Bailey Tuesday. One
William Stork, a most respectable laborer,
was indicted for trying to murder his
sweetheart. He and she had loved each
other for seven years. Poverty, how
ever, had kept them from marrying. Out
of his earnings of 81 a week Stork had
kept the girl, her aged and infirm father
and brother and his own mother from the
workhouse. She, fearful of being a fur
ther burden, left to stay with a brother.
The lovers, however, met one day-the
man pressing the woman to marry, she,
still dreading their poverty, refusing.
Wild with despair Stork tried TO cut the
girls throat and his own. The Judge and
the jury both agreed in sentencing him to
a mere formal punishment, and the de-
voted couple met the reward of their LONG
self-denial by getting gift of $40 from the
sherlts fund to enable them to marry and
set up house together.-London Letter

A Gigantic Effort.

A gratifying indication that women of
wealth and position are interested in Sc
curing equal opportunities for their sex
is the movement on the part of women
to secure s15O,OOO to be given to the
trustees of the Johns Hopkins university
on condition that women be admitted as
students to the medical school which
opens this fall, on the same terms and
with the same privileges as men. Among
those interested in this movement are
Mrs. Henry Winter Davis and Miss
Mary Garrett, of Baltimore, Mrs. Dun
das Lippincott and Mrs. Anthony Drexel,
of Philadelphia, and Miss Marian Hovey,
Of Boston. A large part of the proposed
sum has already been subscribed, while
the trustees have signifed their willing
ness to accept the conditions when $780,
900 shall have been secure6. -

adventures Of the most romantic nature

Houston. He served several terms in the
Tennessee legislature, and from 1927 to1S31
two terms-in congress He opposed
jackson and was defeated. but was elected
again for the term of 1S33-lS35. He then
went to Texas, and his strange, noble and
adventurous career ended in the awful
