The Cause of RheumatIsm.

An acid which exists in sour milk and

The Tyler Democrat says:
THE Victor Oil Company, managed
by Edw. L. Rose, met with very pleas
ant but peculiar thing the other day in
one OF their oil wells. They had well
on the lands OF Miss Temp Wells, south
of town on the river hill, that has been
producing from 10 to Is barrels day
for several weeks. Owing to the fact
that there we're other good wells in the
Immediate vicinity, they could not I'M
derStand why it did not produce more
oil. So they finally concluded to pull
out the tubing and clean the well out
and il it done no better to abandon it.
With this idea in their minds they
started to pull the tubing and after they
had pulled a part of the casing out the

inches of oil in a $50 barrel tank in just
90 minutes by the watch, and flowed
over thousand barrels day."
OF the 235 wells completed in the Sis

were busters. OF the ~ completed in
November only one was buster. The
average of the new wells in November
was 81 barrels, and of those in October
9715 barrels. Many Of the first wells
drilled there have so declined in produc-
ton that it does not pay to operate
them and the daily output is only
maintained by the large increase of now

Travel in the East.

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement at home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past on macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles o. wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush of the
train-these might not exist in the world
at all, and do not exist in the world of
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement and hustle, fux
and speed; there everything is imper-
turbable, immemorial, immutable slow

The Cruelty of War.

An incident related in the biography
of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Brit
ish feet, brings home to the reader the
cruel nature Of war. 1t occurred dur
ing the war of 1912. An American cap
tain had taken fine ship to Lisbon,
where she had sold her cargo for the
use of the British army under yelling
ton, and received several thousands Of
dollars in return, which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared, and
on her homeward voyage she fell vic
tim to the British squadron. One of the
principal objects of her captors was to
obtain information. The American cap
tain was sent on board the shannon
which afterward captured the famous
Chesapeake-but was kept in ignorance
of the war and of the fact that he was a
prisoner.
He answered unreservedly all the ques-
tons put to him, and Captain Broke,
who greatly disliked the deception lie
had been obliged to practice, now felt it
difficult to make the prisoner acquainted
with the next step which must be taken.
At length he forced himself to say:
.s'Captain, must burn your ship"
The American, overcome by surprise,
faltered, "Burn herY
aIndeed must"
"Bnrn-her for what? Will not money
save her? She is all my own-and all
the property havo IN the world. Is it
war, then?'
eyes," said Broke.
Both parties were painfully moved,
and the scene did not end without tear
from each, but duty was duty, and the
prize was destroyed. - Youths Com

The Wearing of Rings.

at is constant surprise to me-" said
a man tho other day, "that a woman
with a palpably ugly hand will call
everybody's attention to it by hanging
her fingers with sparkling rings. A GER
tain intuitive vanity that is common to
men and women alike ought to teach
her better. Freckles, big knuckles and
ugly or i'll kept nails are all accentuated
by snowy rings. I've seen a woman
whose rough, red hand must be her
ever present thorn in the flesh load it
with big diamonds, the white sparkle
and dull gold setting of which intensi-
fed the redness and coarseness of the
fingers they encircled. l long to tell
such a one to put her jewels at her
throat, on her arms, in her hair-any-
where but on her hands.
sin contradiction to this l. recall a
woman of my acquaintance who has
small brown hand like a gypsy's. She
has evidently studied its limitations, for
she wears never more than one ring, and
that always of odd design. I've seen her
wear a black pearl sunk in dull silver, a
hoop of carbuncles or an old English
ring of hammered gold, but she oftenest
wears superb alexandria that shows
black in some lights and deep seagreen
in others. l always applaud her wisdom
in banishing pearls, emeralds and dia-
monds or any conventional styles from
her ring box."-Her Point of View in

Liszt's Gypsy Protege.

The great pianist, who was passion
ately fond of the gypsies, once endeav-
ored to educate and civilize gypsy lad,
but failed ANONYMOUSLY. The wild spir-
it of the nature of countless generations
could not be tanned, and though as a
child liking the novelty of the new life
the young gypsy submitted, but with q
bad grace, to the instruction of the
teacher List provided, he soon broke
loose, and became arrogant and inor
dinately conceited. However, his I'M
tutored playing was excellent, and he
became the pet of those foolish women
in society who are ever on the lookout
for some new craze to feed their Eighty
craving after variety. Soon the child Of
nature pinned for the freedom of the fields
and savagery, and SO he went. He ran
away three times and was brought back,
and then List let him go for good,
In after years he turned up again in
one of the numerous wandering gypsy
orchestras, but he was only then medi-
OGRE player-instruction had actually
killed the real ability that as child he
had possessed. So was shattered one of
the dreams of LISTS life; he learned
that a savage man could not be tanned
quite SO easily as savage beast, as many
had discovered before him.-Belgrayia.

The Story of "nIaud."

Few people knew Tennyson and his
peculiarities better than did his neigh
Dor Mrs. Cameron, the well known pho
tographic artist, who made fine series
of character portraits by photography
to illustrate Tennyson's poems. The
history of her search for and selection
of models for these characters is inter-
esting. Maud was starving Irish girl,
who served her both as model and wait
ing maid.
The sequel to the story of Mrs. Cam
eron's Maud is too pretty not to be given.
When Mrs. Cameron held her exhibit
ton in London, Maud was sent up with
a chaperon to explain the pictures to the
public. A gentleman came in one day,
and after having asked several ques-
lions left. A year or two afterward he
passed into the Indian civil service, bat
before starting for the east he went
down to Freshwater and knocked at
Mrs. Cameron's door, begging for Maud's
hand. The beautiful Maud was willing,
and they were married.-New York

Injuries from Carbolic Acid.

Warnings are given in a German
medical journal against the injury to
skin, and even bone, which may result
from the long continued use of weak
say 3, 21a, or even 2 per cent.-carbo-
liked applications, especially upon periph-
eral portions of the body, such as the
fingers. This effect, it is asserted, is due
in small measure to the action of car
bolic acid upon the vasomotor system.
but in the main to its destructive effect
upon the red and white blood corpuscles.
This induces, partly in mechanical
and partly in chemical way, stasis,
first in the capillaries, and, if the actor,
of the drug be continued, then in the
larger veins and arteries, with the result
that the nutrition of the part is inter-
fered with, and the removal of harmful
substances hindered, the maceration of
the epidermis caused by the acid favors
evaporation, SO that the gangrene is a
dry one, a mummification, as it were.

Weed Maps in Germany.

The Germans have some educational
ideas which we in this country have bdr-
rowed with profit, and there are still
others which we might be wise to adopt.
Among them no doubt are the wall
maps of different species of pestiferous
weeds, which hang in schoolrooms where
the children can see them as long as they
60 to school.
A practical idea underlies the display
ing of these maps. 1t is we'll known
that farmers are prone to treat all weeds
alike, and hardly to observe any differ
ence between them, whereas the natures
of weeds differ as much as the natures
of other plants do, and the sort of
treatment which will exterminate one
will sometimes increase and multiply
another.
1t is important therefore that the farm
er and gardener should understand the
weeds which they are trying to extermi-
nate.
1t is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colored pic
lures of the most pestiferous weeds, in
all stages of growth, and also the ways
in which they scatter their seeds and
propagate themselves. By learning them
thoroughly, through seeing them day by
day on the walls, the child grows up
with knowledge of the best way to ex-
terminate them.-Youth's Companion.

Intermarriage i'm Eurasia.

There is no remote chance of Eurasia
ever being reabsorbed by either of its
original elements; the prejudices of both
Europeans and natives are far too vigor-
GUS to permit of much intermarriage
with people who are neither one
nor the other. Occasionally an up
country planter, predestined to a remote
and "jungly' existence, comes down to
Calcutta and draws his bride from the
upper circles of Eurasia-this not so
often now as formerly. Occasionally,
too, young shopman with the red of
Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried
off by his landlady's daughter, while
Tommy Atkins falls a comparatively
easy prey.
The sight of native with half caste
wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian
as well as native antipathy comes into
operation. The whole conscious in
clination of Eurasian life, in habits,
taste, religion and most of all in ambi-
ton, is toward the European and away
from the native standards.-Sara J.
Duncan in Popular Science Monthly.
