POINTS In the PHYSIOLOGY and Psychology
of the Little salt Drops.
Terror, grief and joy, to say rothina
of other emotions, bring tears to the
eyes. Tears are the natural product OF
emotional excitement, the result of
storm in the central nervous system,
inducing changes in the lachrymal
glands and a discharge of water from
them. TO certain extent such a di.
charge is continuous; it serves to re-
move foreign substances from the eye,
and, being slightly saline. it performs
an indispensable function by keeping
the eye constantly bathed. The lachry.
NAL glands lie between the nervous
center and Shiny surface of the ''apple
of the eye" Tears afford us an insight
into the manner by which excited
nerves promote discharge from
secreting organ by pressure on both
sides of it. Inner nervous vibrations,
and external stimuli or reflex responses
produce flow of tears.
In both. cases the impulse proceeds
from vibrations Both the sentimental

tarily subjected to the same influences.
They both shed salt tears although
from widely diverse causes. Sometimes
Imagination alone stimulates the nerv.
Gus system to the production of tears,

visions.of narrowing scenes, conjured)
up by reading or hearing of them.
It is the emotions-sympathy, sorrow.
anxiety, etc-and not pain or hatred,
which provoke tears The pains of ma

by ansestheticss and this is quite intel

emotion which by their flow lighter

person who cries for pain does so prob.

For persons addicted to weeping,

The kaiser was out hunting while il

three miles from the luncheon baskets

therefore asked his companion, Count
Dalma, if there was anything at all
eatable in the neighborhood, and the
count remembered that there was a
small farm house not far away. Thith-
er they went and the woman of the
house told them that she had only
milk, bread, butter and wurst to set

illustrated by the following inc id ent

denounced him, wrote asking permits

A NORWEGIAN LEGEND.

y Mountain That Was Once a Hat ana
Adorned Il Giant.
Thorghatten, the famous Norwegian
mountain has a hole extending entire
~ through it from one side to tho
other According to Norwegian
legend this same Mount Thorshatten
was once hat and belonged to one
Thorg. hence the name Torghatten.
1t seems that in the mythical ages a
giant and giantess fell violently in
love with each other They were
forced apart for time, but vowed
that they would marry in the near
future. Soon after the tickle woman
pledged her troth to another. This
angered her giant lover to degree
unknown to modern men of smaller
stature. He was 70 miles from her
when the elfs brought the news, but
selecting good arrow he shot it in
her direction. Now it happened that
her brother, Thorg, was standing in
direct line of the arrows fight. 1t
went through his hat and skull kill
him instantly, and he fell harmless at
the feet of the faithless giantess. She
had the power of turning all objects
into stone, and forth with willed that
her brothers hat become stone mon
ument to the tragedy. The cruel
lover was turned to stone where he
sat astride his horse at Hestmando, and
the giantess herself petrifed at Lecko
The two latter objects have disap
peared, but Thorg's hat(Thorghatten}
is still the object of many curious pill

WILL OF AN Ex-sLAvR.

All Of Her Property Left to Her Former
Masters Son.
There was queer last will and tes-
lament offered for probate in Aikcns,
Ga, lately.
Some years before the war Julia
Phinizy, buxum young slave woman
with health and energy. contracted
with the late Ferdinand Phinizy-
her owner-for her freedom, agreeing,
to pay stated sum therefor. ByI
industry, frugality and economy she
managed to pay the amount and
gain her freedom just before the
emancipation proclamation was issued
Julia continued to work and econo-
mize, and was always regarded as
an exceptionally good woman. She
thought great deal Of her masters
family before and after freedom and
never ceased to hold them in the high
est esteem.
They also loved Julia, their old
slave. A few days ago she died. She
left a will duly executed and signed.
BY the will she bequeathed all her
property, which amounted to nice
little sum. considering the fact that it
was entirely the savings ofan ex-slave
made dollar by dollar with hard work,
to a member of her old masters
family.
She named as the beneficiary in this
carefully drawn document Mr. Marion
Phinizy, son of the late Ferdinand
Phinizy, who lives in Atlanta and who
is worth in his own right a quarter of
million.
Having no heir of her own, this
honest and devoted old slave left her
earthly POSSESSIONS rs a monument of
her love for her old masters family.

spread upon the records of the courts

BURNS. LOVE STORY.
So mething About the Highland Mary
Ho Sang Into Immortality.


The supreme love passage in the life
CT Burns is related in mis- songs of Mary
Campbell, whose memory has been
consecrated by untold thousands of
blovers. whose spirit fills their world,
glorifies their dreams, d. avs them like
IS, saint, who look up as to a saint at
,,.le mention of the name Highland
! Mary. She was the daughter of a
shipmaster, and Burns saw her first
one Sunday at the kirk of Tarbolton,
and instantly his heart of
finder glowed with consuming fire.
She was as Sir George Douglas
says. the most spiritual of all his
loves, and how different might have
been his fortune had he met her
earlier and made her his own. She
was a type of Highland beauty. and
female beauty always appealed to
Burns with irresistible force. So it
does to every genuine man. No
genuine man ever breathed who was
not touched at the sight of beauti-
full woman, for hers is the divinest Of
all forms of beauty. The genuine
man may, under the stress OF years,
care naught for wealth, for praise of
his triumphs, for influence or COM
mand, but so long as the years spare
him his heart will respond to the
beauty of woman.
Burns susceptibility to it is discov-
cred in almost every line of his poetry.
He was thrilled at this first presence
OF Mary, SO modest. so attentive to
the service, so forgetful of herself
amid the worshipers. Her figure was
graceful, her features delicate, her
complexion fair. She had large, lus-
trous, dark blue eyes, and hair of a
reddish tint. Her knowledge of Eng
lish was imperfect, and one can fancy
that her lips, accustomed to the Gaelic,
might soften and garble the more gut
teral language with bewitching eff
feet"
