Scientific Notes

Sunlight is superior to artificial
light because its action upon the eye
is equable and unvarying. hence II
may be used long without fatigue.
The skull of human being is apt to
become thin in spots over the sections
of the brain most exercised.
There are as many laughs as there
arc vowels. Those who laugh on A (the
broad sound laugh openly and frankly.
The laugh in E (short sound is appro-
pirate to melancholy persons. The I
(as in machine) is the habitual laugh of
timid. naive or irresolute people. The
o indicates generosity and hardihood.
The person who laughs in U is a miser
and hypocrite.
It is stated that diamonds become
phosphorescent in the dark after expos
urc to the sunlight or electric light and
when rubbed on wood. cloth or metal.
This is an important property. as it en-
ables the amateur to distinguish be-
tween paste and real. This property
IS not electric. as is clearly shown BY its
being visible when the gem is rubbed

New Cse for Tea Leaves.

Tea drinkers would probably not lose
their love for their favorite beverage If
told that the tea leaf plays an important
function in Chinese funeral. But still
it is matter of fact. Tea is promi-
nent rival to cremation and the earth
to-earth system, to say nothing of the
trade of the embalmer. In China the
well-to-do folk frequently preserve the
mortal remains Of their friends in tea
leaves. and I am told that a corpse
placed in a large chest Of tea will re-
main in high state of preservation for
many years.

Household Hints.

Beef and mutton possess the greatest
nutritive value Of all meats.
In choosing poultry young birds can
be told by their having smooth legs and
combs. Always select plump ones.
A large chicken or turkey is much
more economical to buy than a medium
sized one.
Here Is an excellent method Of re-
moving grease spots from waxed floor.
Pour spirits Of turpentine on the spot
and give 1t time to soak into the wood.
Then cover with powdered tale and
press with a warm, but not very hot,
iron. The tale will absorb the grease.
Brush OF and polish the place anew
with wax.

Substitute for Finger Bowls.

A charming substitute for finger
bowls. which is not likely, however, to
be popularity initiated, is seen on the
table of Mrs. Clara Louise Kellogg Stra-
kosch, now living in New York. 1t is
an exquisitely wrought basin of old
English silver, which is half filled with
fragrant rose water. Into this each
guest is supposed to dip corner of his
napkin. rather than the fingers, the
hint being given by the hostess. 10

Substitutes for HAY.

1t Is not an unusual occurrence that
the weather in the spring is so dry that
the hay crop is short, or an almost
total failure. It is strange that some
way cannot be devised for irrigating at
least sufficient amount OF tillable land
to insure the farmer good hay crop.
There is no ration that will take the
place of this, and the facilities for max
ing sure OF it are anything but salts
factory. Every farmer should set apart
a certain portion of his low land for
hay. In wet weather he is likely to
have good crop anyway. and IN dry
times well-cared-for field of low land
will do much to bridge over the time
between late autumn and early spring.
when there is nothing whatever out OF
doors for stock to eat. The practice Of
sowing millet. sorghum, cowpease or
cIimson-clover late in the season, when
the indications are that fall pasture
will be poor and that the hay crop is al
together unsatisfactory. is becoming
general. Cornstalks may be cut as soon
as the ears are ripe The earlier they
are cut the more nutritious they are
and the more valuable for feeding. AS
a rule, farmers give too little attention
to cornstalks. which, when properly
cured, are among the most useful of
food products for stock, especially so
in the absence of an abundance of good
hay. Rye makes a good crop, but
should never be fed to COWS that are
giving milk. as it imparts an unpleasant
flavor to the milk. and is BY many per-
sons considered unwho!esome.

SHOT BY A BARTENDER.


James Haynes. living on Shelby street.
was shot by August Brown bartender in
the saloon of his brother. Charles Brown,
SO Shelby street August Brown was ar
rested and charged with shooting with in
tent to kill. His story of the affair con-
fiicts with reports which first reached the
police. He says Haynes entered the saloon
and went TO his room in the rear, throw
ing himself across Browns bed. Brown
says ne followed Haynes. carrying fiobert
rife i'm his hands. He pointed the weapon
at the man. playfully threatening to shoot
him if he did not get off his bed. Haynes
sprang up and struggled to get possession
of the gun. In the scrimmage the weapon
was discharged, the ball striking Haynes
in the jaw. At the police station Brown
said Haynes was not seriously injured and
walked to a physicians office. after which
he returned to the saloon. Browns story is
corroborated by his brother Charles. who
says Haynes told him August was not TO
blame, the shooting was accidental. The
brothers said Haynes was not seriously
hurt.
1t was first reported To the police that
Haynes was probably fatally shot and that
he had declared Brown attempted to kill
him without provocation. 1t said
Haynes made this statement to the ply
Sician. DR.. Gaylor. who could not locate
the ball and feared it had penetrated the
hrain.

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled Longevity"
published a few years ago DR.. John Gard
ner. of England. predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so retard
those changes that bring about old age as
to prolong human life much beyond it's
present limit.
Acting. perhaps. upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought. many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time upon
the Shakers OF Mount Lebanon TO inquire
of them concerning the secrets of medici-
nal plants I'm which these sincere. simple
minded and God-fearing people are known
to be wise and skiliful beyond all other
men.
The Shakers willingly told what they had
learned. and i'm return received from their
visitors much valuable information about
disease. which they at once made practical
use of. The most important point was that
if a genuine and certain remedy could be
found for indigestion and dyspepsia ana
the ailments growing out OF il a long step
would be taken I'm the right direction. Old
age. said these physicians begins In a fail
ure OF the digestion. and so do most dis
eases at any and All periods OF life. The
result of these consultations was the dis
covery by the Shakers of the desired Spe-
cific. made wholly from herbs. and
known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its
action is magical and worthy of its origin

the Dardanelles and threatened to send IL
TO Constantinople. No one who is not Ia

diplomacy can imagine the CONSERVATION
which this action caused on the continent
The partition of the Ottoman empire Is the
one question which the five powers do not
dare even to mention I'm whisper. To se-
riously discuss IL would break up both the
interests of France and Russia are diamet-
rically opposed on this question. Russis
wants Constantinople and France wants
Syria and Palestine. but France cannot
consent TO give over Constantinople to Rus
sia. and thus make her the dominal power
i'm the Mediterranean. They chance to be
allies now but they may be enemies a few
years hence. And the Gar can never give
up the holy city 10 a Roman Catnonc
power. Ii might cost him his throne. He
is actually doing all that he can now TO de-
stroy French influence in Syria and Paies-
tine So Austria would hght TO her last

But the events of the present year-the

trough an increased sympathy I'm Europe
for the Armenians. partly from the finsr-

Salisbury may have been right I'm predict
ing that the empire would go to pieces OF

powers have assured each other that MOTH
ing can induce them TO talk about the par
tition of the empire. Russia could take

The English press has been entreatng hei
TO do IL. but she dares not: and the Czai
has been travelling about Europe TO assure
the powers that he will not No one has un-
derstood this attitude of the powers better
than the Sultan. He has seen, through all
these troubles. that he was master OF the
situation and could do exactly what ne
pleased. He has laughed at the threats OF
the ambassadors. and watched the gather
ing of the fleets in the archipelago With
perfect equanimity. He has not even trou.

These are rumors of an impending inter.
