CLEAR AS CRYSTAL.
Chicago River IL Now = Paragon of Purit

Chicago River 10 Now Paragon of Purit
The arrest of ship steward for de
filing" the waters of the Chicago riv-
er with soapsuds and potato parings re-
moves all doubt concerning the COM
plete rehabilitation and renovation of
this much -maligned stream. In one
short year the most odoriferOus stream
on earth, whose foulness was Of world
wide notoriety and in whose bed re-
posed the accumulated and decompos-
ing refuse of a great city, has been
transformed into such a paragon of
purity that soapsuds actually defile it.
Time was when copious and frequent
doses of soapsuds in the Chicago river
were encouraged on the theory that it
neutralized its foulness and tended to
arrest decomposition. But all the soap
suds that could be poured into it could
not cleanse it, SO hopeless was its con-
dition of soliditied filth.
But the Chicago river no longer Of
fends the sensitive olfactories of the
strangers within our gates. That which
was the butt of merry ridicule and
jest, whose variegated smells were en-
balmed in rhymes of satire and deri-
sion, is thing of the past.
The arrest of the ship steward on
Tuesday was intended as a timely
warning by the sanitary board to all
who have been in the habit of acting
carelessly in the vicinity Of the Chi
cago river Stevedores who manicure
their finger nails while on the river
will be arrested. Water that is emp
tied into the river must be pasteurized
or boiled, and nothing in the way of
refuse will be tolerated Lake cap
tains who are in the habit of indulg
ing in seaworthy profanity must have
their speech disinfected before they
pass Rush street bridge.
The Chicago river is being washed
and cleaned by the blue waters of Lake
Michigan. The drainage board is going
to keep it clean if it has to arrest ev
cry stevedore, steward and sailor on
the great lakes.-Chicago Record.

SEIZED BY WORD BLINDNESS.
suddanly Loses Ability to Read, but Can
Still Write.

Still Write.
Word blindness, did you call it?"
said Thomas R. Supplee, when seen at
his home, 1106 Poplar street, Philadel-
phia, recently well, that is a pecu-
liar term but guess it about describes
my trouble. cannot read a word.
Reading used to be my greatest pleas
ure, but now the days seem to be so
long and dreary. l cannot understand
it. My general health is of the best;
my memory and eyesight are good but
l cannot put the letters together into
words. l can still use my pen, but
cannot correct what I have written.
l may repeat the same word two or
three times. This happened about two
months ago. One day l felt a sharp
pain in the left side of my head Pick
ing up a paper | was amazed to dis
cover that l could not decipher a sin
gle word. The doctors say it is blood
clot on the brain. They believe it may
be absorbed" DR.. Frank Woodruff,
former professor of clinical medicine
and therapeutics at Medico Chirurgical
college, speaking of the case, said:
''The affliction is very rare, although
not unknown. While at the college 1
saw a similar case-a man much
younger than Mr.. Supplee. He recov-
cred. Mr.. Supplee is undoubtedly suf-
fering from word blindness, form of
ephasia known as amnesia. 1t may be
due to a plug in one of the small
blood vessels shutting off the supply
of blood to the third frontal convolu-
tion QefD of the brain, which governs
this power, or it may be due to some
slight rupture and consequent blood
clot on the same nerve center In such
cases all written communications
reaching the speech center through the
sense of sight are cut Off The patient

and can also write out his own
thoughts, but cannot afterward read

The old Scotchwoman who liked her
minister because 'he joombles the
joodment an confoonds the sense"
would have appreciated bit of British
legislation which the premier seems to
view with sardonic amusement. .In
an act of Parliament" says Lord
Salisbury, which authorizes us to
press forward technical instruction. it
Ifs distinctly said that technical in
struction does not mean instruction in
any art, or craft, or livelihood. OF
course it is rather difficult under those
circumstances to know what it does
mean, but If you will go forward in the
act Of Parliament you will find that it
means the cultivation of foreign Ian,
guages." This Is Fdiverting indeed, but
the humor Of the thing does not limit
Its significance. Probably the British
legislator did not know exactly what
he did want. Assuredly he is not the
first man who has found it hard to
draw clear distinction betwixt you
may, you must, you cannot, and you
should"

FAMOUS SECOND FUNERALS.
Refinement of Notable Persons Remains
Attended by Crowds.


Attended by Crowds.
The most famous second funeral"
in all history is that which celebrated
the transfer of the body of Napoleon
/. from St. Helena to its present rest
Ing place in the Invalides in Paris. On
hay -, 1910, tremor ran through the
French chamber of deputies at the an
nouncement that King Louis Philippe,
with the consent of the English gov
ernment, had ordered the Prince de
Joinville to go with his frigate to ST.
Helena, there to collect the remains
of the Emperor Napoleon" 1t pro-
duced the same effect on the country at
large. The enthusiasm reached its
climax on the Dec. Is following, when
the second funeral actually followed.
Thackeray was witness to the cere-
mony and one of his most brilliant es-
says commentaries theS attendant
sights. Among other ceremonies of a
similar kind witnessed by the present
century, the most notable were the
transfer of the remains of Columbus
from Havana to Seville, in 1899, and
the reburial of King Rene at Aglow in
1896. The vault in which the body of
King Charles l. was inferred was last
opened in 1918, on the occasion of the
funeral of the Duchess of Brunswick,
the sister of George III. King Charles
coffin was found SO badly damaged that
new one had to be made. The body
was recognized beyond a doubt by the
fact that the head was severed from
the body. While the body of Crom-
wells victim sleeps in peace there is
nothing extant of the great regicide's
body, save only a head, which is be-
lieved to be his. Cromwell had been
buried with honor in Henry Wis
chapel at Westminster. The royalties
when they returned to power, with
the restoration, dug up the remains
and scattered them to the four winds.

off as post-mortem retaliation for

Love Among the Convicts.

A convict in the Andaman islands
who behaves himself well for a number
of years and who can find a suitable
convict woman for wife is, under
certain circumstances, allowed by the
jail authorities to marry. The report

The origin of the tiger as an emblem
of Tammany is said by w. c. Mont
anye, coffee and spice dealer, in
New York, to date from the time when
big Six" fire company, took fancy
to picture of royal Bengal tiger
in the elder Montayne's store in the
SOS. Tweed adopted the emblem for
the American club, and it soon was
accepted by all Tammany.
