BEAUTIFUL EYES.
An Dentist Authority Says Those with
Large Pupils Are Apt O
Ee Detective.

A large pupil is one of the chief beau
ties of the eye, aud so well is this rec
ognized that the ntropia, which dilates
the pupil has been named belladonua
Yet diiatcd pupil is a very common
symptom of II defective vision The iris
is shutter to regulate the amount of
light falling on the retina. and ii the
latter be dull or defective ii requires a
larger supply. Hence diIated pupil'is
often associated with a feeble retina,
which, of course, means feeble vision,
Short-sighted people have often a
greater conveNity of the front of the
cornea, and this lends n certain bright
ness to the eye. Apart from these me-
chanical causes, there is a very COM
mon, but unexplained, association of
defective sight, and an irritable and
easily inhamcd eye, with some of the
rurcr and more beautiful colored irises.
The much-admired violet eye, and GER
tain shades of gray and blue, often snf-
fer from such associated defects.
Those with long eyelnshes are said 10
he more subject TO 'stye" and other in
hammations.

BALLOONS WILL SOAR.
Even IL Pierced by the bullets from n
Thousand rifles They WIN
Not Collapse.

Time and again the plot of a story has
hinged on the escape of the villain in u
balloon, and his miserable ending when
II well-aimcd bullet from the hero's rifle
has pierced the gas bag and brought
the whole concern smashing to the
ground.
Nothing could, however, be more
false to fact. A simple bullet will no
more bring down a balloon than grain
Of sand an ostrich. The experiment has
been tried, and by no less person than
the Brothers Spencer, the famous Lon
don baloonists.
A captive balloon was sentu and an
chored about 700 or 500 feet up. Then
firing began. with ordinary army rifles.
Impossible as IT. may seem, over 1000
bullets pierced the silk, yet even then
IL was three hours before enough gas
escaped to bring the balloon once more
to firm ground. One reason of this is
that the elasticity OF the material TO
some extent automatically closes the
rents in the material.

MALAY CHARACTER.
A Misrepresentation of Long stand
ins: That LIS without FOnn-
dntion.

In character the Malay is impas-
sivc He exhibits reserve, diiiidencc,
and even bashfulness, which is in some
degree attractive and leads the OBJ
server to think that the ferocious,
blood-thirsty character imputed to the
race must be grossly exaggerated. lie
is not demonstrative. lie is slow and
deliberate in speech. Children in the
company of men are silent, and are
generally quiet and obedicnt. When
alone the Malay neither talks nor sings.
lie is cautious of giving otfcnse. lie
does not quarrel easily about money
matters. Practical joking is utterly re-
pugnant to his nature. The Mnlays Of
the higher class are exceedingly polite
They are proud, and, if ill-treated, re
vcngeful; but under generous treat
ment are gentle, kind, humane, CRATE.
fnl, docile and faithful. They are duti-
ful children and kind parents. They
treat their aged kinsmen with the
greatest Kindness, and feel it II duty 10
relieve the wants of an INDECENT rela-
tion. Old men and women are always
regarded win respect, says lhe En-
cyclopedin of India OS5S).
DR. ONlcy described the character of
the unsophisticnted Malay as remark
able for its simplicity and honesty.
They have a regard for truth, and may
generally be depended upon in their
statements. What has so often been
written of their revengeful spirit, he
says, is much exaggerated; polite in the
extreme, according TO their own ideas,
they never indulge in abuse one to-
wnrd the othcr.

the Han.

In Austria there is press ms well as
literary censorship, hut it is more
particularly to the glaring anomalies
Of the literary censorship that | refer,
SAYS writer in the London Post.
German writer's consider the prohihi-
ton of the Vienna censor as kind of
letter of recommendation, IL not as n
certain sign Of Immortality. The cen
sor, in fact, has never prohibited a book
which has not some striking literary
merit.
The recent structures of the censor,
his prohihitcry oggrcssivcness in al
most every different department of lit
crary and artistic life, have irritated
the public mind beyond endurance.
The censor seems TO have started
from the standpoint that far too
little is couIiscated. All kinds of new
interpretations of the poets have been
found. and today poetry is the most
cuntiscahle commodity in Austria.
Nest to it comes the printers art.
Sculpture has fallen an easy prey. and
now ii is The turn Of music. The censor
reasons as follows:
"Mrlodics in themselves nrc in no way
illegal II is, however, otherwise with
the time or rhythm 1t is possible TO

even merely hearing n song having a
rhythm corresponding 10 the prevail

AhIc on the Platform.

The queen of Roumania is perhaps
the only royal parsonage who acquits
herself ns public lecturer. For some
time past her majesty has been accus-
toned to give lectures privately in her
palace TO the young ladies' of the lead
ing families in Roumania. These lit
crary assemblies proved so attractive
that the demands for admission have
grown inconvenient, so that the queen
has thought it expedient 10 lecture in
the high school for all the pupils who
cared to attend. Before her majesty
could do this, however, she had to OBJ
tain a regular professors diploma from
the king and the minister of instruc.

The United States court of Alaska,

witchcrart, MS practiced by the Indian
tribes on the southeastern coast of the
territory. A number of Indians arc at
Juneau under arrest. and their cases
are being considered by the grand jury
that is now in session. These Indians
are very supcrstiii0us, even more so
than those of the interior. If the med
icinc man is unable to effect cure in
any case he pronounces the patient ne
witchcd. The relatives of the sick In
dian will accuse some of the tribe Of be-
ing the witch devil" The accused is
confined until the fate of the patient is
decided. In every case lie is put 10
death if the sick man dies. The num-
her of Indians killed as witch devils"
increased during the past year, and
Gov. Brady gave ii prominence in his
report.
Judge johnson, in charging the
grand jury, said: "You will be called
upon TO investigate II number of Of
fcnscs peculiar to this territory grow
iEg out of the hrliof in witchcraft prev
alcnt among the native people. Many
of the cruel murders among them may
be traced 20 this belief and it is your
duty not to ignore, but to make patient
inquiry and return true bills where
the evidence so warrants, for the pro
lection of these people. The stamp OF
the laws dsnpproval of all such prac-
ticcs must be emphatic"

Grant Case Taken Under ConsideTa-
ton by Judge Rogers.
Arguments by Counsel for Mrs. Grant and
the Doctor Were Pointed.

The Grant case was taken up by
Judge Rogers this afternoon for con-
sideration. Long arguments were made
on the testimony by Irving Champlin
and Franklin +. owen, counsel for DR..
Grant and Mrs. Grant respectively. The
former was very severe I'm his denuncia-
-tien-afp t=Ae-.ermed a-plot on the
part of certain persons having an in
terest i'm the case to get the doctor to
go TO Sandy Fenner's. There had been
no reason shown. Mi. Champlin urged,
why the doctor should be forced to give
up the custody of his child.
Mr.. owen made shorter argument
than Mr.. Champlin. but took time
enough to deal trenchantly with what
he considered the weak points I'm the
doctors defense. He also reviewed the
testimony with the special purpose OF
showing that Mrs. Grant was i'm no
way responsible for the visit of her
husband 10 the place described i'm the
testimony.
During the arguments Judge Rogers
intimated that the case was one In
which he would not announce a deci-
sion until he had very carefully con-
sidered ID i'm all it's bearings. and that
there were features about the case that
called for very close inspection. il Is
expected that no decision i'm the case
will be announced for several days.
