A WONDERFUL POND.
Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by
Large Numbers of Living Creatures.


Largo Numbers of Living Creatures.
The water contained in we'll de-
yeloped, we'll formed eye in which the
sight is not impaired, more especially
where person is farsighted, presents
MANY curious phenomena. Looking
through an open window In daylight
upon a hazy atmosphere or upon fog
such as is seen in any city, or looking
to the north upon gray atmosphere,
one will see, if conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
in the eye water. 1t has been my privl-
lepe to watch these organisms for sew
eral years, fitting about in the eye
water, Jumping toward each other again
in strife and combat, in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear Of amebiform organisms, only to
be again full Of micrococci and the COM
bats as above.
The various shapes Of these animal
cule are surprising. Some are attenu-
ated, with fine fllaments. Again, others
are like wee bits Of fine porcelain, with
little projections, reminding one OF
turtles hopping about Again, others
present the appearance Of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is neutrality-suspicious. in the
water we drink or foods we eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies Of water,
is truth that can be proved positively,
beyond peradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract diseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation Of these
organisms in the eye water, their rapid
growth and the survival Of the fittest
or strongest be the cause Of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation
of the eye water, SO called paralysis OF
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms Of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other pains be caused by the overac-
emulation or growth Of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the Cir
culation Of the active principle Of life
in the arterial circulation or the nerv-
GUS forces? The same organisms are seen
when looking upon drawing paper

Strange Domestic Pets.

Mr.. Hutchinson, while British resi-
dent at Kumassi, had a panther pre-
scented to him by the king of Ashanti.
This animal he succeeded in tanning
and transformed from forest terror
into a domestic pet. Charles James Fox
had young tiger which showed great
affection for him, until one day, while
licking its masters hand, it scraped off
the skin. At the first taste of blood its
dormant instincts returned, and its
glazing eyes revealed to Mr.. Fox his
danger. Without attempting to remove
his hand he led it by gentle words into
the next room, where a loaded pistol
hung over the mantelpiece. Reaching
1t down, he shot his now dangerous pet
through the head.

INVASION OF WASHINGTON,
Admiral Cockburns British Soldiers Loot
ed and Fired the Public Buildings.

Admiral Cockburn's British Soldiers Loot
ed and Fired the Public Buildings.
"The last glimmer of twilight was
fading away when (afttr the battle at
Bladensburg, two miRs distant from
Washington into the veil nigh desert
ed city rode the redoubtable Cockburn
at the head of his banl of marauders,"
writes Clifford Howard in The Ladies
Home Journal of the INVASION and burn
ing of our national CAPITAL by the Brit
ish forces under Admiral Cockburn in
August, 1914. "Elated at their decisive
victory over force nearly twice as
large as their own aid thirsting for
spoils, the red coated folders marched
triumphantly toward the capitol. Dis
charging their firearms at the windows,
the soldiers burst in tip doors and with
a shout of triumph carried their leader
to the speakers chair, from which, with
mock gravity, he put the question,
Shall this harbor of tlp Yankee democ-
racy be burned?' A ybll Of affirmation
rang through the hall, hnd without fur
Their preliminaries npers and other
Combustibles were piled under the desks
and set on fire. In a few minutes this
noble edifice that had been in course Of
construction more than 20 years and
containing the library of congress and
vast quantities of offidal documents Of
gsSst historical value was destroyed.
Nov thoroughly aroused to their
work Of plumber, bowling crowd Of
the desperate maraudds hurried to the
White House in the hope perchance Of
capturing the president and his wife.
Finding the house locked and deserted,
they battered down the doors, and, con-
soling themselves for the loss Of their
distinguished captives by ruthless de-
struction of the furniture, they raided
the larder and RECALLED themselves with
hastily prepared fehst in the state
dining room. Then, destroying the re.
manning provisions and brealing and
mutilating whatever they coull readily
lay their hands on, they concluded theil
visit by setting fire to the home Of the
president. Numerous other public an6
private buildings were also destroyed
by fire"

IN AN OLD CANE.
A Letter to the Earl of Essex from
Charles /.

Charles i.
A dear friend of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and man of
cminence in letters, was shown over the
cathedral of Itchfield by the then dean,
SAYS writer in the Gentleman's Mag
azine. AS a souvenir of his visit he
was presented by the dean with a GU
rious and handsome cane which some
years previously had been dug out in
the course of some alterations. For
years my friend used this, until the top
came off and the revelation was made
that the cane was hollow. Thrusting
down a finger, the owner brought out
a vellum missive. This proved to be
q letter to the earl of Essex, signed
by Charles l., asking him to bring over
his army to the royal side and promis-
ing in recompense for so doing his own
gratitude and the richest reward that
monarch could bestow upon subject.
After the death of my friend [ was
permitted to show the treasure, for
such in fact it was, at the British mu-
scum. Alas for the hopes that had
been formed. Mr. Warner brought me
out a practical facsimile and told me
that others were in existence. Cop
les had been made, and several had been
dispatched by different hands in the
hope that one might reach the earl.
The copy held had obviously failed to
reach, though the ingenious plan of
concealment prevented its detection I'M
til the days of Queen Victoria.

THE WOODPECKER.
-Four characteristics of tho Little Drum
mer of the Woods.

mer of tho Woods.
There is an article by Frank M.
Chapman in st. Nicholas on 1.-THE
Little Drummer of the Woods" giving
much curious information concerning
the woodpecker. Mr.. Chapman says:
If we had a woodpecker in our hands,
we should see in the beginning that its
bill is not slightly hooked, with the
upper mandible turned down at its end
and overlapping the under mandible, as
in the crow and other birds that "pick
up living" but that both mandibles
are Of equal length and cut squarely
off at the tip. 1t is, therefore, like a
wedge or chisel.
Perhaps the tip Of the birds tongue
will be seen appearing through its near
ly closed mandibles, and our attention
is at once attracted by its peculiar
shape. We discover that it is remark
ably long, and when fully extended
reaches almost if not quite an inch be-
You'd the point Of the bill. 1t is not
fat, like the crows, but round and
feshy, and has sharp, horny point,
which, by looking at it very closely, we
see has series Of barb' on both sides.
In the meantime our hands have
doubtless been pricksd by the birds
tail feathers, each feather being stiff,
bristly and pointed at the end. Some
of the larger woodpecke rs-the pileated
and ivorybill, for inst nce-have this
singular kind of tail ft ather highly de-
veloped. The main steh or shaft Of the
feather is much larger than usual, and
each barb growing flpm this shaft is
curved downward and inward and is
strong and pointed. Comparing this
feather with the fiat tail feather of a
crow, we see at once how different it is
in form.
The wings do not Impress US as in
any way unusual. They are neither
very long nor very shprt, but the ar
rangement of the toh is SO peculiar
that they were at once commented upon
by blind girl, to WHO n | had handed
specimen of one of these birds. In
stead OF the disposition common to most
birds, three toes directed forward and
one backward, we diIcover two front
toes and two hind ones, and we will
note also that each toe Is armed with q
strong curved nail.

BUFFALO FARM.
Wisconsin Men Cross breeding the
Bison with Profit.

Albert and Charles Huber, living few
miles south of DNrand, Wis. have n
herd of about 25 full-blood bison and
some Is crossed bulls and heifers, bison
and native COW, reports the Minneapolis
Journal About six years ago they were
hurting in the western part of North
Dakota and succeeded in capturing alive
three young bison, bull and two COWS,
and these they brought to their farm
here. The animals grew and thrived
amazingly, and are pastured in an in
closure of about 400 acres running down
to the valley of Rose creek where they
have ample room and shelter.
Experiments were early made with
crossed breeds and it has now been
found that the cross is very successful,
the half-breeds combining the dociity
of the domestic animals with the en-
durance and large size of the bison.
They are also very fine fur producers,
and grow to maturity in less time than
domestic cattle, The flesh of crossed
animals is very palatable, and the fur
has all the good qualities of that of the
l bison, and is softer and more silky,

BUYING ONE SHOE.
Other People Do 1t besides One
Legged Men.

Legged Men.
"What does man do for shoes when
Re has only one leg, or his feet are not
mates?"
This question was thrust at big
Market street shoe dealer, but it didn't
seem to bother him bit, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
"IIe comes in here and has his feet
fitted just as easily as the ordinary
man," he said. "lt is a common oc-
currence in all shoe stores to have one
legged men as customers. We break
pair of shoes, sell the one required,
and charge the customer q little more
than half the cost of the complete pair.
No, the odd shoes are not allowed to
accumulate. They would simply be-
come incumberances. They are prompt
~ sent back to the factory and mates
made for them on the same last. 1t is
not only for one-legged men that we
are thus compelled to break pairs. There
are lots of people in the world whose
feet are not mates. 1t is a curious fact
that nearly every mans left foot is a
trifle larger than the right one, but as
general thing this does not interfere
with correct fitting. In many cases,
however, we encounter men one of
whose feet are so swollen by corns, bun
ions, govt or some other affection that
he has to wear shoes of odd sizes. For
these customers it is necessary to break
two pairs. both of which afterward have
their missing mates supplied at the
factory and go back into the general
stock"

Here they are: The smallest number OF
hands employed at any time here was
II; the largest number, IL; an average
OF as Tor every week in the year. Inc
factory made ca 800 pairs of shoes, and
paid out $11 900 IN wages
Very naturally the stockholders were
much pleased by this showing, and Man
ager Stocker's statement elected EN-
phatic evidences of approval. 1t must
be remembered that the operation OF the
factory this first year was attended by
some embarrassmentst that wlllno again
be encountered now that the establish
ment has gained substantial footing at
home and in the markets OF the country,
and it will be safe to expect decided
progress during the year to come. 1t
NAV be said that the making OF these
Ga 800 pairs of shoes has been accom-
plished without the necessity OF repairs
to the machinery.
The meeting was very harmonious
