shis Is Not . Sentimental Talk, but Scien
tific Dissertation.
Tears have their functional duty
TO accomplish, 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 tc
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 con.
sists their prescribed duty to the
body, washing thoroughly that sensi-
tive organ, which allows no foreign
fluid to do the same work. Nothing
cleanses the eye like a good salty
shower bath, and medical art. has
followed natures law in this respect
advocating the invigorating solution
for any distressed condition of the
optics. Tears do not weaken the
sight but improve it. They act as
q tonic to the muscular vision, keep
ing the eye soft and limpid, and it
will be noticed that women in whose
eyes sympathetic tears gather quick
~ have brighter, tenderer orbs than
others When the pupils are hard
and cold, the world attributes it to
ones disposition, which is a mere
figure of speech, implying the lack
of balmy tears that are to the cornea
what salve is to the skin or nourish-
nent to the blood
The effect of tears on the skin
about the eyes, however, is intense
ly irritating and infaming. They
keep the epidermis in a dark, puffy
condition, and in legends only do
weeping women preserve the beauty
of their great white lids. The rea-
son some women weep more easily
than others and all more readily
than the sterner sex has not it's diff
ference in the strength of the tear
gland, but in the possession of al
more delicate nerve system The
nerve tibers about the glands vibrate
more easily, causing downpour
from the watery sac Men are not
nearly so sensitive to emotion. Their
sympathetic nature-the term is
used in a medical sense-is less de-
veloped, and the eye gland is there
fore protected from shocks. Conse-
quently a man should thank the for
nation of his nerve nature when he
contemptuously scorns tears as a
woman's practice.
Why facial distortions should be
the usual accompaniment 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 marion
cites, twitch and pull them in this
fashion while they are at work
the tear glands of their
contents. That the copious she'd
ding of tears which breaks the ice
bound letters of the heart is a
healthy action all physicians assert.
In some cases it is even thought to
avert insanity. Even here the rea-.
son is scientific, for it is sign of re-
Taxation # the brain nerves from a
tenseness that was congestion Be-
tween man and monkey there is this
difference of tears. An ape
cannot weep, not so much because
his emotional powers are undevelop-
ed as the fact that the lachrymal
gland was omitted in his optical
makeup. Philadelphia Times.

In the year 1868, Mr.. j. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name s'Dr Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him OF his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
ssjust as good as DR.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi>
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office
No. 1856.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The bad weather had deterrent effect on the meeting of the residents of the South Brooklyn school district, which took place in the school room last night. Nine persons braved the storm and discussed the advisability of taking similar action to the other town school districts. Chairman $. S. Lapointe explained the object of the meeting, and said he had petition to the general assembly praying that the proposed new charter be reported on unfavorably. Morris Fitzgerald was the first to speak and said he did not like the phraseology of the petition. He was not opposed to con- solidation. John MrAz was outspoken against consolidation and gave the powers that be good scoring on account ot the overcrowded condition of things in the Center school district. E. B. Green thought that anything that would relieve the dis trict from the impending dilemma should be hailed with delight. He thought it only question of time when they would have to succumb to the inevitable. The dis trict, he said. was not able to maintain the school. In order to get an expression of opinion on the matter Michael Harty moved that the meeting express its ap- proval of the scheme to consolidate the town, city and school governments. On being put to a vote four voted for the mo- tion and five against it. The meeting then adjourned. The petition will be cir culated among the residents of the district and each person asked to sign for or against the new scheme.

 onoo to the cafc of the Parker House call cd for Gilroy, who, with his wife. was a guest at the hotel When Gilroy appeared, Hale accused him of living on money from Hale's income.
