Kipling's Interview.

An Australian paper said very hui
morously: "Rudyard Kipling landed
ON this island at u o'clock, and at
1915 he had formulated an Australian
policy"
"Yes, that is very funHy," said Kip
ling, but it is not true. This is how it
was: A young reporter cornered me
just after l had landed. l treated him
kindly, but said, firmly, that was
not to be interviewed.
"sI have no thought of interviewing g
you,' replied the reporter, with touch
of sadness in his voice, i ask much
greater favor than that
1t turned out that the reporter was
man with theory who had been
persistently sat down upon by his SUI
periors on the press. He had an Aus
tralian policy that he knew would be
of the greatest benefit to the country.
No paper would print it. His modest
request was that Kipling would let
him put forth his theory as the scheme
of the young novelist. "They will
print it," he said,' eff I give it as COM
ing from you"
"All right" agreed Kipling, "fre
ahead"
So the young reporter got in four
mortal columns telling the people OF
Australia how to run their country.
81 never read the article" continued
Kipling, "but there must have been
some amazing theories in it from the
storm it raised. hope that young
man realizes my forbearance in stand
ing all the unmerited abuse heaped
upon me for it."-Detrott Free Press.

Seeing with One Eye.

A person may see as far with one
perfect eye as with two, but he cannot
see as clearly; for the advantage that
binocular, or double, vision possesses
over minocular or one-eyed vision is
that the former by allowing the OBJ
server to catch sight of the object from
two different points of view, gives him
at once some idea of the proportions of
its different parts. But though this is
true in theory, in practice the judg-
ment interferes and the Judgment has
been educated and in some measure
rendered Independent of the services
of binocular vision, by experience and
the use of other senses, such as touch.
Thus man with only one is never de-
ceiVed as to the nature of an object
with which he is well acquainted, for
the report of it that he gets from his
vision is corrected and supplemented
by his experienced judgment and
transmitted to his centers of conscious
ness in as perfect form as that which
reaches those of man with two eyes.
The advantages of binocular vision
may be thus further illustrated In
rapidly dipping a pen into an inkstand
or putting stopper into decanter
the one-eyed man can not judge SO ac-
eurately as the two-eyed man. Or,
again, if we shut one eye and attempt
to plunge the finger rapidly into the
open mouth of a bottle we are very
apt to overreach or fall short of it,

WOMEN WHO TALK uNDuLY.
They Are Very Aggravating to Even the
Best of Men.

One of the meanest conversation
tricks is favorite one with women,
says the Washington Post. A fellow
has something real nice and clever to
say; he is rounding up nicely to it.
when some chit of fool woman takes
gasp and says, "Oh, yes! [ know
what you mean," and, by jingo, says
it! Of course, she gets all the credit.
do hate a woman like that! She is
the kind of woman that says, "Ah,
yes!" and then goes off into poetic
illustration of the fact you have an
nounced-something nice and dreamy
that she never could have said by her
self.
/ hate that sort of woman, making
herself seem so clever and bright and
poetic and all that off of you. She
laughs before you have got your funny
story out, and says, "Yes, isn't it
funny?" 1t makes it so easy for you
to go on, that does. Actually, some
times she will go on and finish it for
you.
That is the kind of woman l hate,
too. She is always coming in with a
@Yes, but" and upsetting what YOU
have said, or else hauling out another
oAuO VI IL tudG yOu dId1 L Au0dh W navy
brought up. l hate women like that.
/ say let women learn to cook and sew
frills, and not talk like idiots.
There is another woman / forgot to
mention. She has genius for just one
thing. She will dislocate any conver-
sation by coming in with some insane,
irrelevant speech that leaves the lot of
you sprawEng incapable. Your ideas
will be sailing beautifully, and she
will make remark that settles dead
calm. Every body will be with you,
and in she will put her word, and the
whole thing has gone to pieces. Oh.
hate women like that. and there are so
many of them!
A woman. to be clever at conversa-
tion must have a good memory. She
must keep in mind so much as she
knows of the tastes and prejudices of
those present. If so-and-so's brother
fought on the Confederate side; if such
one has Scotch ancestry; if such an
other had dear friend or an aunt or
something who went on the stage; if
such another has written a poem on
mortality" and has his opinions about
immortality, and so on of each and
all, she must remember. And "as you
said the other day." is a good way to
introduce a pungent remark, or, "as
your favorite author has it," which
shows a fattering regard for ones
preferences. All these tricks, if you
call them SO. must be studied.

The Name "ChIna."

Upward of 1,1OO years before Christ
the Chinese were people ruled by a
dynasty of kings, of whom, like the
Pharaohs of old, there is no clear his
tory. and not until the Chow dynasty,
B. G. 1925, is there any clear history
of the main Chinese states. The Chi
nese take their history back to the
time of Noah. This ancient empire
has in its time borne many names, for
it was custom when new dynasty
assembled the throne to give another
name to the empire, as Hai-que, Cham
que, Han-que, etc, according to the
name of the ruling monarch. The
true name is said to be Chum-que,
"the center kingdom of the world. "
This term was by usage corrupted to
Chin-que, and from this word the Por-
tuguese gave it the name of China
Irish Times.

Bees Buzz at Night.

Bees work at night in the hive and
build comb as perfectly as if an
electric light shone there all the time.
1t has often been asked, says Harper's
Weekly, why they prefer to work in the
dark. Every one knows that honey
is liquid with no solid sugar in it.
After standing, it gradually assumes
a crystalline appearance, or granulates
and ultimately becomes a solid mass.
1t has been stated that this change is
due to the same agent which alters the
molecular arrangements of the iodine
of silver on the excited collodion plate
and determines the formation of cam
phor and iodine crystals in bottles.
Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well-corked TASKS, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystalized,
while that kept in the dark rema ined
unchanged.
Hence we see why the bees are so
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in their hives. The
existence of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food pre-
sented to them, and if light were al
lowed access to this it would in all
probability prove fatal to the inmates
of the hive.

Caught in the Act.

A well known Baltimorean was
standing at the corner of Charles and
Lexington streets recently, says the
Baltimore NeaOs, when he was accosted
by seedy-looking individual, who
said: "May I have few words with
you, sir?" "You may" was the reply,
abut if you want anything have no
money to give you" 81 don't want
any money. I'm mechanic, but have
been out of work for over nine weeks,
and my wife and children are suffer-
ing. l want you to give me an order
on some grocer for pound of meat
and loaf of bread" eff that's the
case," said the gentleman. "here's a
quarter" The stranger accepted the
coin with thanks and moved rapidly
down Lexington street. Having moth
ing to do the donor thought he would
follow his coin and see what became of
it. The stranger led the way TO a sa-
loon. on Calvert street and entered
without realizing that he was shad-
owed. He was about to swallow a
glass of whisky when his benefactor
remarked: "I'll drink with you" The
look of amazement on the bummer's
face was caution, but he quickly re-
covered, and together they finished the
quarter over the bar.

Surprising Hardness of Insects.

1t is standing puzzle to the ento-
mologists how frail little insects like
tho mosquito and the butterfly can
stand the cold of an arctic winter ana
come out unframed. The larvae of
the milkweed butterfly have boen ex-
posed to an artificial blast 6S deg. be-
low zezo. Taken out of range of this
artificial blizzard and gradually "thaw-
ed out" this same worm was able to
creep in less than a half an hour after
ward. Butterflies have been found
fitting joyously about in the highest
latitude man has ever penetrated, and
the mosquitoes of Alaska and Green
land are known to be the healthiest
specimens of that race of little pests.

HAS A BRAIN OF ITS OWN.
The Throat Has Subordinate Thinking
| Apparatus Which Does Lots of Work.

"Did you ever know" said a we'll
known specialist, as he deftly inserted
looking-glass into the roof of a pa
tents mouth, talking the while to a
Philadelphia Press reporter, "that the
throat has brain of its own? No? I
suppose few of the laity know it, but
it's fact. There is small ganglia
which exercises direct control of the
muscles of the throat and acts as its
brain. Of course, it is subservient to
the genuine brain, but at the same
time does a good deal of independent
thinking for itself. 1t is very timid
and suspicious at any strange objects
that come near the throat. For this
reason it is very difficult for physi-
clan to operate on the throat. Before
anything can be done in this direction
it is necessary for the operator to gain
the confidence of the little brain that
dominates it. 1t frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be Sc
cured, and until it is secured it is i'm
possible to operate. When the little
brain is finally made to understand
that no harm is intended it, but that
the physician is actuated by friendly
motives, it will submit to almost any
treatment, however painful.
"But woe to the man who attempts
rough treatment to the throat before
gaining the little brains confidence
and in spite of its protests. His opera
tions will be resented with violent
paroxysms, first of the throat, then of
the diaphragm, and, if the operator
still persists, the patient will be thrown
into convulsions. Still more curious
is the fact that this little brain has a
memory, and if once frightened in this
way, it is almost impossible to ever
gain its confidence, no matter how
gentle the operator may be. L don't
know whether its distrust would ex-
tend to other operators than the one
who frightened it or not. l think |
will try the experiment some time of
seeing whether it can remember
faces"

Longevity in Norway.

The average length of life is greater
in Norway than in any other country
on the globe. This is attributed to the
fact that the temperature is cool and
uniform throughout the year.

A KANSAS RHAPSODY.

Mi1ton's Mantle Makes q Fall Overcoat
for Los Angeles Man.
fLines suggested by. the departure after 9
visit to Los Angeles, of two charming Kansas
girls.l
o, Kansas girls. why will you 20
Back to the land where ice and snow
Hold sway fer six months Of the year?
Why not decide to stay right here?
Do you not like our sunny cline,
With all its flowers, fruit and wine?
I'm sure you do; then why not stay?
Why will you tear yourselves away?
You'll not find any land more fair,
If you should travel everywhere:
Its mountains grand, Its lovely Wales,
Are not surpassed in fairy tales
Earth's richestblessings here are found
In great profusion, scattered round.
In view OF this can't conceive
Why you should wish this land to leave.
Is it the call of duty stern.
That now compels you to return?
Or Is 1t longing uncontrolled
To see your beaux both young and old?
1t can not be your prairie flowers
Seem quite as fair to you as ours;
Nor your bright skies seem quite as blue
AS ours, which now smile over you.
Though Kansas boasts the sunflower tall,
Which proudly lords it over all
The humber flowers, twill not compare
With our bright golden poppy fair.
When you have reached your eastern home
Where thunders roll and cyclones roam,
If e'er lonesome feeling may
Steal o'er your thoughts at close of day.
Or you should feel depressed or blue,
I'll tell you now what you must do:
Just call to mind the pleasant hours
You've spent with us mid scenes Of flowers
Such as no other land can show,
Where balmy breeses softly blow,
As fresh and pure as those which blew
In Eden once when earth was new.
Pm sure such recollections sweet,
Will help to chase with flying feet,
All lsomber thoughts and hours so slow
Which sometimes come to all, you know.
Well hope to meet again some time
Mid scenes as fair in sunny cline
As those which have surrounded you
Since first you saw our skies SO blue.
