gotiations between Greece and Turkey will
not be attended by great difficulties, and

was due to the fact that the Greek govern

1t is an old, old story to accuse wOm-
ankind Of cOwardice where the mouse
is concerned But the oft-repeated
charge that any woman Will imme-
diately go into Mysteries or spasms at
the mere sight of smalI-sized rodent
Is an insult to the sex. Some may evince
their dislike of mice in this way, but
there are notable and conspicuous ex-
cePtions. For example, one woman,
while engaged in her domestic duties,
encountered mouse in the flour bar
rel. Now, most women, under similar
circumstances, would have uttered a
few gneuine shrieks, and then have
sought safety in the garnet, but this
one possessed more than the ordinary
degree Of genuine courage. She sum
moned the man servant and told him 10
get the gun, call the dog and station
himself at a convenient distance. Then
she clambered halfway upstairs and
began to punch the -four barrel with a
pole. Presently the mouse made its
appearance and started across the
floor. The dog at once went in pur-
suit The man fired and the dog
dropped dead; the lady tainted and fell
down the stairs, and the man, think
ing that she was killed, and fearing
that he would be arrested for murder,
disappeared, and has not been seen

IL COD WEATHER.
some OF TIE Disadvantage TO those
WhS Wear Spectacle

some OF the Disadvantage TO These
Eh0 Wear Spectacle
The man who wears spectacies with
metal bows that hook over his ears is
at a disadvantage in cold weather He
finds It a painful fact that the gold or
steel OF whatever metal IT may be eOols
of more rapidly than the flesh Of his
ears, producing a sensation that is any
thing but pleasant, even when the ears
have reached such a condition that no
nerves Of sensation appear to be left
In them. Something OF the same effect
Il caused by that part Of the spectacle
frame resting on the nose The theory
has been preached that the uncomfort-
able feeling noted in the backs OF the
ears is due to the operation of the we'll
known law that metal contracts under
the influence OF cold, thus reducing the
size Of the segments Of circles formed
BY the hooks and increasing the pres
sure on the apPendages Of the head
But this suppOsitiOn has not found IA
Eor in the minds Of the scientists whose
attention has been called in personal
way to the subject.
There are two or three ways Of guard
ing against the trouble. One is by
wrapping the psrt Of the spectacle bow
coming in contact with the ears with
fine silk Better still appears the sug-
gestiOn Of an uptown Oculist that pieces
Of fine thin rubber tubing be drawn
over the hooks. Chamois can also be
used as a protective covering, but it
is likely to be too thick and clumsy.
The objection of clumsiness appertains
to all the methods suggested and to
adopt any one Of them is so far a choice
Of evils that many spectacle wearers
prefer to bear the trouble they have
rather than to invite another that they
know not of. Another drawback to
the wearing of glasses of any kind in
cold weather is THAI when one to whom
it is a nec-~sity goes from out OF doors
into a place where moisture pervades
the air las for example 4 restaurant)
the first thing be notices is that the
lenses are so covered with vapor that it
is impossible to see anything clearly
before wiping them. Oculists and Cd
ticians say, by the way, that most wear
ers OF sPectacles and eyeglasses are
not particular enough in wiping the
lenses often and seeing that they are
kept free from dust, as well as other
substances that interfere with clear

The secretary recommends that ma
tional banks be authorized with a

lating notes secured by deposit Of

posted by them in the treasury, and
further, that banks be allowed to de-
post as security with the treasury
greenbaclzs, treasury notes, or silver
certificates to a total amount Of $780,,
600, OOO, against which national bank
notes shall be issued to them to an equal
amount. He also recommends that
the guaranty of the government

assets To secure the government
any loss, If any, a tax Of two per cent.
shall be levied on unsecured circula-
ton to create a safety fund to be in
vested by the comptroller IN United
