Department Libraries in Washington

While the new Congressional Library
building is rapidly assuming features of
early occupancy, and we shall soon have
a place for the splendid collection Of
books that are now almost impossible of
access, owing to crowding, why wouldn't
it be good idea to consider the broaden
ing of the purposes of the library SO as
to give it National character and name?
Perhaps few people know that every de-
partment of the Government has a
library of it's own. Some of these are
very extensive and valuable. But why
should the Government create and main
tain half dozen libraries in the Nation
al Capital? And why not concentrate its
efforts upon the real National library?
There is library in the Navy Depart
ment of over 100000 Congress makes
appropriations for it every year. 1t is
the second library in Importance Of its
kind in the world. being only excelled
by the United Service Library, London.
This Government side issue, however,
contains the best collection OF works on
Arctic exploration Of any library in the
world. There are complete chronicles
from the earliest times down to date.
These contain full and detailed history
of the British Navy. The other features
are quite as complete. Congress grants
an annual appropriation to add to these
volumes. and large sum is required for
the maintenance of the whole. : There
are no works of fiction in it. Dat there
is Treasury library of considerable
size containing works of fiction. and
which in other respects is exactly the
same as any other library OF general
reading. And there is a Patent Office
library and War Department library.
etc. They might all be merged in the
one great National book concern.-Pitts.

WHAT ARE TEARS?

Tears have their functional duty to
accomlish. like every other fluid of the
body. and the lachrymal gland is not
placed behind the eye simply to fill space
or to give expression to emotion. The
chemical properties of tears consist of
phosphate of lime and soda, making
them very salty. but never bitter. Their
action on the eye is very beneficial, and
here consists their prescribed duty to
the body, washing thoroughly that SEN
sitive organ which allows no foreign fluid
to do the same work. Nothing cleanses
the eye like good, salty shower bath,
and medical art has followed natures
law in this respect, advocating the in.
MIGRATING solution for any distressed
condition of the optics. Tears do not
weaken the sight, but improve it. They
act as tonic to the muscular vision,
keeping the eye soft and limpid, and it
will be noticed that women in whose
eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly
have brighter, tenderer orbs than others.
When the pupils are hard and cold, the
world attributes it to ones disposition
which is mere figure Of speech. imply
ing the lack of balmy tears that are to
the cornea what salve is to the skin or
nourishment to the blood.
The effect of tears on the skin about
the eyes, however is intensely irritating
and infisning. They keep the epider-
mis- in a dark, puffy condition, and in
legends only do weeping women preserve
of their great white Tide. The reason
some women weep more easily than
others, and all more readily than the
sterner sex, has not its difference in the
strength Of the tear gland. but in the
possession of a more delicate nerve sys
tenn. The nerve: fibers about the glands
vibrate more easily, causing downpour
from the watery sac. Men are not near
ly 30 sensitive to emotion; their sympa-
thetic nature--the term is used in a
medical sense-is less developed, and
the eye gland is, therefore. protected
from shocks. Consequently, a man
should thank the formation of his nerve
nature when he contemptuously scorns
tears as woman's practice. Why facial
distortion should be the usual accompani-
ment to the sobbing of the gentler sex
there seems no satisfactory solution. 1t
may be that the nerves which lead to the
muscles. as wires to marionettes, twitch
and pull them in this fashion while they
are at work emptying the tear glands Of
tears'which breaks the ice-bound letters
OF the heart" This is healthy action
all physicians assert. 10 some cases it

here the reason is scientific, for it is a

ALLEGED SON OF AARON BURR

A Belpre (O.) dispatch recalls the al
most forgotten story of man who
claimed to be the son of Aaron Burr.
Fearing Burr is dead, and now that he
sleeps his last long sleep near the isle of
his birth. some facts regarding him may
be interesting. He was born on Blen-
nerhassett Island in 1906, and through
out his life claimed to be son of Aaron
Burr. His earliest recollections were
associated with the hospitable home of
the Lewises, Lower Belpre, o., among
whom he was raised. His mother he
never knew and where he obtained his
given name, Fearing, is uncertain. He
never left Belpre, was of a retired, re-
served nature, always lived within sight
of the the shores of his beloved Ohio,
and now slumbers near its waters. For
years and years and until he died he was
the sexton of the old Cedarvile Gem
etry. and during his long life had digged
the graves of many illustrious person
ages-the Putnams, the Fearings, the
Brownings, the Danas. the Ameses. and
many other descendants of honored New
England Revolutionary heroes.
The home of Fearing Burr for seventy
five years is shown in Lower Belpre.
near the old graveyard. 1t is vine
covered cottage, log walls, weather
boarded outside and sealed inside, and
his housekeeper. Mrs. Maria johnson.
still resides there. A picture hangs over
the mantlepiece in the best room that
has history. 1t was saved from the
ruins of the Blennerhassett mansion, on
the island. which was destroyed nearly
a century ago, and came into the posses.
sion of Fearing Burr years afterward
through descendant Of Col. Robert
Phelps of Wood county, W. Va.
1t is painting by master hand. Blen-
nsrhassett was known to have been pos
sessed of some of the finest art treasures
ever brought to the Western world. and
this picture is said to be genuine picture,
obtained from the English home of Sir
Dudley Carleton by Gov. Agnew. of the
Isle of Man, Mrs. Blennerhassett's father
The famous canvas is a landscape
scene-a quiet meadow, towering Eng
lish oak, with the half hidden ruins of
an old castle in the distance.
The old housekeeper tells pathetic
story of the last days of Fearing Burr.
For some time prior to his death he
would go out to the gate that opened on
the broad road in front of his home and

POULTRY.

We know that it does not pay to feed
the COW only enough to keep her alive,
but that we must give her something
for the milk and butter we expect in re-
turn; and just the same rule will apply
with poultry. Give the same care. too,
in handling; aim to. keep them quiet
and gentle; give them clean quarters.
plenty of food and a good variety Of it;
pure. clean water and a warm coop in
winter, and wide range in summer;
they will then always give satisfactory
return.
At the Maine station experiment
proved that mixed ration of cracked
corn and beef scraps, of equal amount,
increased weight in poultry at cost Of
three and three.fourth cents a pound.
while when fed on cracked corn only it
was at a cost of more than twice that
amount.
BY attention to proper methods there
is almost no animal food which can be
produced at so small cost in proportion
to it's selling value as poultry. but the
fact is that under our ordinary careless
methods it often costs more to get fowl
ready for market than it is finally worth.
The cost is seldom considered, because
it is given out in small quantities.
Corn is largely starch. and in summer
will soon make hen over fat. so that
she will not lay at all. In winter it
keeps her warm and helps to maintain
the condition of temperature necessary
to the production of eggs. Do not waste
corn any longer by feeding it to the hens
in hot weather

CURING ILL TEMPER.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher once, in a
sermon, gave the following hints con.

troll. We must all study the cause OF
irritability. II men would often go to a
sanitarian concerning their health
habits, they would find an answer to
paryer in his revelation of truth. / have
know men who prayed for a good tenn
per in vain, until their physician pro-
scribed eating SO much meat; for they
could not endure such stimulation. So
long as they ate abundantly of animal
food they could not control their irrita
bility; but as soon as they we're put on
milder diet they were able to keep their
temper. Their physician, by the aid of
science, revealed to them the cause of
that irritableness. and their prayer was
answered. They were not unwise in
praying; but they we're wise in adding
hygienic advice. 1t is quite in vain to
pray for a tranquil spirit, or a genial,
hopeful spirit, when the organs CT diges-
ton are out of order. Not that one that
is suffering from sickness should not
pray for health. but prayer is to be con-
joined to hygiene. 1t is in vain to pray
for patience and then run heedlessly into
those very conditions where experience
shows causes which lead to impotence.

to the thickest hedge? Is it wise for
men to pray that God will give them all
the fruit of the Spirit, and then associate
with persons that will contaminate
them? Have I a right to pray for pur-
ity of my heart, and then let my ears
drink in all the vile sayings, and wicked
speeches. and vulgar insinuations OF cor
rupt men? Has man right to pray
that he may be honest, and then go in
to temptationP Has man right to
pray that he may be truth speaker,
and then take no pains to seek the truth?
Has man right to pray that he may
be moral, and then put himself where
his morality will be Slapped and under
mined? 1t is folly for man to pray for
common morals even, and still more for
spiritual graces, and then take no heed of
the way, humanity speaking, by which
these things are achieved. Just as soon
might man shut his arithme tic and
pray that he might know how to cipher,
or to sit in his chamber and pray that he
might be agood engineer, as pray for the
graces and then do nothing to get them.
We must study these things. The pre-
sumption of prayer being answered is
measured by the degree in which it leads
US to study the conditions that tend to
bring about that for which we pray. We
are to work for it, not without prayer,
but not to pray for it without work.
