Lengthening the ExeH.

1t is said that it is a common custom
practced among the Turks, who hold
long eyes in such exalted esteem as to
lengthen them by cutting the corners
of the eyes. This is done very early
al the age of two or three years-the
outer corner being deftly slit with a
lancet about the twelfth part of an
inch. While the wound is healing the
lids are drawn outward every day, and
when it is quite curved the eye is still
submitted to the drawing process every
day for long time, with the eventual
result that it becomes long and narrow,
and satisfies the taste of the "unspeak-
able Turk"

STRANGE GASES OF POISONING
ella Bite Was Not Deadly, But Um-
brelln Tree Was,

In the far northeastern part of Ari-
zona territory, that is to say in Navajo
county, young man was bitten by a
ella monster recently. Almost at the
same time, at Yuma, in the extreme
southwestern corner of the territory,
a little girl ate some berries that fell
from the umbrella trees that grow so
plentiful in southern Arizona. The
young man lived. but the little maiden
died. The latter case is the more re-
markable, perhaps. for until this in
stance not even the medical profession
suspected that there was anything
poisonous about the umbrella tree. The
child's name was Dora Lynch, her IA
ther being well-hnown in Yuma. The
lucky young man in the northeast was
Orrin Barney. who had started out with
party for Utah. He was following n
wagon up a hill and "scotching" it with
rocks. He reached down for rock
and picked up Gila monster. The
monsters head had to be cut off to
loosen the grip on Barney's hand. The
latter suffered severe pain for two days,
but then recovered. His only remedies
were tobacco and whisky.

\ Touching Instance of True Broth
erly Love.
Here is the story of two brothers
who stuck to one another through life,
and in death were not divided, says Les
Re's Weekly. They were past 60 years
OF age, and, being reported i'll and dcs-
titute in the old house where they
hved alone, were removed to Bellevue
hospital. Each, though helpless, was
anxious to take care of the other.
When asked if they had any friends,
both gave the same reply: The best
friend have in the world is my brother
here
On their cots side by side they Law

thought of his own suffering, but asked
continually that something be done for
his brother. The elder one died first.
saying: "Good-by, John, dear. God
bless you'll" Less than four hours after
this farewell John breathed his last.
The next day-it was the day after
Christmas-the two brothers lay side
BY side in the morgue. where an aged
woman, who had been their friend.
came and identified the bodies. promis-
ing to notify relatives who would see
that they were buried together.
Such is n real incident from the great
epic of daily life in the metropolis, and
1t points its moral better than some
fiction.

~ HE Dimes EARLY.
Explaining His Reason for nm Un-
usual Proceeding.


There Is a man in Wentzville, Mo-,
who has habit of eating his midday
meal before 12 o'clock, says the Sun
day Republic. A neighbor went to his
house not long ago, and found him and
his family at the dinner table. 1t was
then half-past IL.
"Why, Mr.. Majors are you at din
ner?" calculated the surprised neigh
bor.
"oh, yes" replied Mr.. Majors. "We
nearly always eat dinner about this
time of day."
ut seems TO me that this is pretty
early" said the visitor, smiling. "Why,
you must get through by 12 o'clock"
"Yes, I suppose we do" was the re-
ply. "You see we always have our din
ner early as precautionary measure"
"As precautionary measured" ex-
claimed the neighbor. "Why? DO you
want to keep from getting hungry?"
mo, that's not it," said Majors.
Don't you see, If we don't eat our din
ner early the house might burn down
and then we wouldn't have any? It's
a precautionary measure, precau-
lionary measured"

The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been firmly convinced that Adam

gratifying to find that philologists, as
they grow wiser, are coming round to
the same opinion, says the Scottish
American. 1t is true that they have

We are on the eve of am acknowledge
ment that Gaelic was the original Ian
gunge of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject,

skcptics and scoffers who derided this
article of Highland faith, ought to at
least make them give pause. DR.. Lett

guage and out of which Sanscrit be-
came written language" He even
goes so far as to assert that there seem
TO be in the Gaelic certain survivals
Of prehistoric language"
Clearly this point in the direction of
the Highland contention, and the pres
ent acknowledgment, therefore, al
though tardy, and not, perhaps. quite
80 full as might be desired, will no
doubt be welcome.
But Gaelic has another distinction.
IT is, rs even the Sassenach knows, the
language to swear in. The distinction,
however, is that one does not quite har-
nnonize with the theory of it's Para
disaical origin.

The attorney made polite and ,pacifie

fortunate debtor owed over $500 to the men
