slavery and it's application to staple
crops speedily gave al aristocratic tone
to society in both provinces, but be-

were fewer wealthy settlers and no

"TEAR PITS" OF THE DEER.
Grounds for the Poets Claims That
Stag Weeps.

Grounds for the Poets Claims That
Stag Weeps.
Both the poets and the prose writer's
of imaginative or contemplati tive turn
OF mind ha' e often alluded t. the tears
shed by stays and other wounded crea-
lures of the deer family, says the ST.
Louis Republic. Shakespeare put it in
this way in describing the injured stag:
The big round tears
Coursed one another down his innocent
nose
In piteous chase.
There is, Of course, more poetry than
truth in these references to the actual
shedding of tears by members of the
deer family, yet it is a fact that such
animals are provided with a curious set
of organs, the action of which has
given rise to the tear shedding belief.
The organ in question is the lachlymal
sinus or tear pit" which is situated
just below each eye. 1t is a kind Of
closed cavity, capable of being opened
at the pleasure Of its owner and which
secretes a greasy, waXy fluid. When
creatures provided with this curious
organ get hurt or become enraged it
has the effect of softening the waNy
substance in the tear pit" When SO
softened, it escapes as tears would and
flows down over the nose and face.
The uses of this queer set Of so-called
lachrymal organs are not clearly under
stood by the biologists.

The matter of changing the name of

he has positive assurances from the

Russian Criminals.

One Of the most curious results of the
Investigations made by doctors in the
Russian jails is the statement that each
group of criminals has it's own peculiar
color of the eye. A legal journal at
Odessa states that it has been found
that thieves and murderers usually pos
sess chestnut brown eyes. Robbers
that is to say, thieves in large and
violent line of business-have slate-col-
ored eyes, and the same is stated of Grim
inals convicted of swinding. The vag-
abond classes have eyes of azure blue
tint The color most observed among
minor criminals and those convicted Of
slight otfenses is chestnut brown
green"

Six Hundred Years.
1t is proposed 10y the lord Of the
treasury to commute the payment Of
e242 15s, which is annually paid TO the
holder of the ancient Office of heritable
usher of Scotland.
The Office, says the London Mail.
was originally conferred Oh Alexander
Cockburn, of London, and his heirs,
by an act of parliament in Scotland in
1898, and the original grant was con-
frmed by subsequent acts of the Scot
tish parliament in 1861 and 1856. the
latter act attaching a salary of $50
a year to the office, but certain statu-
tory deductions have reduced the
amount now payable to G 242 15s.
In 1905 the office, with the salary,
being a heritable subject capable of
being assigned away, was acquired by
Sir Patrick Walker for e 1900, sum
equivalent TO 31A years purchase of
the salary. IN 1890, the question
whether the grant was permanently
binding was submitted to the law Off
GERS of the crown in Scotland, who
stated that in their opinion ii was le-
gally binding, as resting Oh d series of
acts of the Scots parliament.
No duties of an onerous kind are or
have been required for long time
from the holder of the office, and it is
now proposed to commute the payment
ut 81 years purchase.

Get Trusted for Their Fares.

1t is perhaps not generally known,
saws the New York Sun, even in
Brooklyn, that persons Of respect
able appearance may travel on the
street cars of that city when they
have no money. A woman who has
left her purse at home, OF a man who has
spent ali his change specializing IN
stocks. if ordinarily well dressed, has
only to tell the conductor the condi-
ton of affairs, on boarding a car, to
get carried to any desired point. The
conductor gives the penniless passen-
ger an envelope addressed to the Office
of the company in which to forward
later the lacking nickel. This is done
as a matter Of course. and only pas
senger who looks disreputable meets
with refusal. This system has been in
operation some time, which is apparent
proof that the passengers who thus get
trusted for their fares use the envelopes
given them for the purpose for which
they are intended.

Live to Be Centenarians.
Last year an old peasant named Ivan
Kouzmin was reported to have travelled
from Moscow to Kief at the age of 40.
He was said to be in good health, says
London Lancet. He had formerly been
coachman to Count Sheremetief, but in
1910 was sent to Siberia. where he spent
81 years, returning in 1894. His is not
the only instance in which Siberian
exile has survived to extreme old age
Two years ago there was said to have
died III Samara one Lavarentil Efimotf,
who had attained the age of $50. Ac-
cording to the newspaper reports of
him he took part as boy in the famous
Fugatchef rebellion in the reign of
Catherine the Great, and for his share
in that brief bot sanguinary outbreak
spent 30 years Of his life in Siberia. Re-
Gently there was said to be living in
the village of Vank (Saratof govern
ment) an Armenian aged 10, the proud
ancestor of 81 descendants, of whom
II were still living. His name was
David Kazarian. Another Armenian,
priest named Ter-Mikaeliantz, was re-
ported not long ago to be living at
Gori, in the Caucasus, at the age of 108.
He was still able to walk to church and
once a year performed the liturgy. If
recent history in the Turkish empire
continues to repeat itself such instances
of longevity among Armenians seem
likely 30 become rare.

Frequently Receives Visitors Between

The emperor of China is one of the
hardest-worked men in the world, and
according to curious custom that [
have never heard explained he turns
day into night, writes a CORRESPONDENT
Of the Chicago Record. Some of the
most important events in his daily pro-
gramme take place after midnight. and
he frequently receives visitors by an
pOintment at three and four o'clock in
the morning. When Ii Hung Chang
returned to Picking from his tour
around the world the emperor received
him and heard his reports between four
and five o'clock a. m. He has often re-
ceived ambassadors at similar hours.
The enperor's work day begins at one
o'clock D. m. He first sees the members
of the privy council, then he devotes an
hour or two to the consideration Of
their reports and recommendations,
and then he receives the members of the
official boards, viceroys, governors and
other officials who have come to Picking
to be presented or to pay tribute or
receive instructions. He sits upon
throne upon raised platform. They
kneel before him with their foreheads
touching the floor until he commands
them to lift their eyes. They are kept
in this posture so long that the old men
always pad their knees with cushions.
The emperor dimes about sunset, and
has the third meal of the day at mid
night. Sometimes he retires as early
as one or two o'clock a. M, but he is
often at work until daylight.
