The question asked in the headline
may sound odd to you if you have never
taken the trouble to give the subject
serious thought, but venture the broad
statement that yOu are not able to an
swer the question ''Otfhand. F" 1t is an
admitted fact, | must confess, that the
eve is the ''organ of vision, yet there
is but little doubt, even i'll the minds OF
opticians and PSYCHOLOGISTS, that the
phenomena Of seeing" is chiefly men
tain other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that 'sees. How often
have you seen a friend who seemingly
was engaged in looking intently at
some object on the table, at the opposite
side of the room or at some picture, who
on being aroused from his day dream
would confess that he was looking at
nothing in particular =" The explana-
ton of the factthat he saw nothing in
particular" is plain enough if properly
set forth 1t is because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces. bits of wayside scenery, etc,
were being presented to view III the
panorama of the mind, and the mind 5
eye''-Or mental visiOn-was engaged
III eagerly scanning pictures OF impress
sions made thereon months, years or
scores of years before Another test of
this mind vision theory is to shut your
eyes tightly and then ply the brain to
the task of recalling faces and forms
that have not been seen by the eye for
years. And, again, if you want to know
whether your companion looked at his
watch with his brain or his eyes,, ask
him the time of day after he puts the
timepiece in his pocllet.-St. Louis Re

BROOM HANDLES.

Interesting Information About an Indus
try of Considerable Magnitude.
There is but Il small amount of wood
/ in a broom, but so many millions Of
these implements are used every year
that the consumption Of wood for broom
handles is a considerable item While it
would have been almost impossible to
sell broom handle made of heavy hard
wood few years ago, at present the re-
verse is true
The manufacturer prefers hard wood
because it does not require SO large
bolt, can be turned down smaller and
vet retain sufficient strength and can be
ornamented more cheaply and artistical
ly. Broom swith hard wood handles sell
more readily and do not deteriorate in
appearance like the soft wood handles
Any kind Of Inexpensive hard wood,
such as beech birch, maple or ash,
makes acceptable handles, while springy
woods like elms are not salable, be-
cause one essential Of IL good broom is a
straight handle.
The manufacture of broom handles
can only he made profitable when the
timber runs largely clear. In the eastern
states the timber waste in making broom
handles exceeds 90 per cent, while i'll
the southwest it is usually less than 25
per cent There are four factories in
Amsterdam, n. Y, one of which has a
capacity of 200 finished brooms a day.
They use hard wood handles from the
south and west and get them for less
than the bolts ready for the lathe can be
furnished from native hardwood.
The handles are turned green and
dried afterward. The large end ON which
the brush is wired must be thoroughly
dry, or the broom will work loose. The
drying of the upper part of the handle is
of less consequence, except i'll the saving

Ex-senator Eyarts was given, i'll the
preparation Of his speeches and opin-

A CRIME TO LAUGH.
Queer sunday Laws of 1881 That StiI
Govern EngIands Lords Day.

Queer sunday Laws of 1891 That still
Govern EngIand's Lords Day.
The Introduction of the Sunday bill
by Lord Hobhouse brings mp the fact
that we are governed III respect to sun
day observations by an act of the year
1871.
1t seems that Sunday lecture can al
ways be made the subject Of prosecution
Some time ago a Sunday lecturer at
Leeds was actually sacrilegiouS enough
to make his audience laugh. The pro
prietor of the lecture hall was therenpon
prosecuted for keeping n disorderly
house
Music can now be given III the open
air on Sunday, but if it is given IN a
room nothing must be charged for
chairs. In other words, it will be posi-
BILE for any body of men and women to
run Sunday concerts and Sunday lee
lures with the view of making them pay
expenses, but not for their own profit
In the years 1900 and 1901 one kuS-
tace, abbot of Flaye, preached through
out England the observance of the Lord S
day. He enjoined that no kind Of work
should be done after the ninth hour on
Saturday until sunrise on Monday,
According TO the manner of the times
his preaching was backed up by mira
cles At Beverly IA carpenter perSistlnR
i'll finishing Il wedge after the ninth
hour fell down III paralysis. In the same
town Il woman went on with her WeaV-
ing after the ninth hour Result, par
alysiS, with loss of voice.
At Raf1erton Il man made Il loaf and
baked it on Saturday evening. When he
broke it ON Sunday morning blood start
ed from it. At Wakefield Il miller,
grinding after hours ground out blood
instead of flour
In Lincolnshire IL woman made a loaf
aud put it in the oven. 1t remained
dough In the same county Il piOus
woman, finding it was the ninth hour,
set aside her loaves. Lo! On Sunday
morning tho loaYeS We're beautifully
baked without any fire at all.
And yet, the chronicler adds, in spite
of these miracles the people have re-
turned to the holding of markets ON the
Sunday London Queen

A BIRTHDAY.

My heart Is like singing bird
Whose nest is in a watcrcd shoot;
Ny heart is like an apple tree
Whose houghs are bent with thickSet fruit
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in halcyon sea;
My heart Is gladder than all these
Because my love is come TO me.
Raise me "A dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomcgranates
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it IN gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver leurs de.lis
Because the birthday of my life
Is come; my love Is come TO me.

 Little did we think years ago when pr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an nounced through the columns of the Her aid that he would treat only a special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author- ity in the treatment of all private diseases Birmingham may well be proud of him.

He is perfectly reliable, strictly honest and financially responsible for any promise that he makes you. As a if not unequaled. Thousands testify to his vate nature. True merit always receives it's reward. Birmingham may well be proud to have his institution located in her midst.
