Thomas Nelson Page In The Atlantic.

the south and obscure what was

as, shall we say. China is regarded to-
day-as one Of the effete peoples, as an
obstacle in the path Of advance and
possibly among many as an object of

The Humau Ear.

The human ear Is an organ the true
inwardness of which the Physicians
have never been able to get 1T. They
can examine the interior OF the eye
with q by throwing ITO its dark
chamber u ray OF light rejected from
a little mirror. and they found it pos
sible even to g the gray matter of the
brain by looking through the little
canal by which the optic nerve enters.
The cavity behind the nose they in
spect with the aid Of a light placed far
back In the mouth.
They have no difficulty in seeing into
the stomach by an electric apparatus;
the intestines likewise are readily
enough investigated, and the bladder
also. But the q as to its internal
arrangements is unapproachable. It is
impossible to dissect 1t satisfactorily
after death, for the reason that the
parts collapse at nee when the vital
spark leaves the body.

According to a Wisconsin legend, Ice

CHEAP TRAVEL IN DENMARK

Price of Tickets Ia Governed by the
Time Consumed ON Journeys.
Denmark was absolutely the pioneer
in cheap railway fares. The fares were
reduced all around. so that the longer
the distance the greater the reduction,
but at the same time the return ticket
system was abolished for journeys
within Denmark.
One OF the greatest boons TO business
men and holiday makers Is the so-called
fortnightly ticket. For third class 1t
costs 22s Sd and for second class f1 los
Cd. Such a ticket entities the holder to
travel all over Denmark for term
Of II days. He can go wherever he
cares to go and as many times over
the same route as he may wish within
the time paid for-namely, fourteen
days A holiday-maker may visit every
place Of interest In, Denmark during
that time and If he finds any pleasure
in travelling from town to town night
and day for the period he can do so.
He pays the price of $40. with de-
posIt Of $1.37 for the ticket, on which
a photograph of the holder is pasted,
and at the expiration of the IA days
he returns the ticket and gets the $1.37
deposit back.
He can also buy ticket for month,
which costs 80 per cent more. and the
longer the time the greater the reduc-
tion. While a fortnightly ticket costs
SOC, a twelve-month ticket costs $50.
If the passenger had TO pay for
twelve-month ticket at the rate Of s.. SO
per fortnight 1t would cost him $133.50.
Thus the reduction Is over 100 per
cent.
II instead Of paying for fOrtnightly
ticket traveller went from Eshierg
to Copenhagen and back as often as
he eould within II days and bought or
binary tickets for each trip they would
cost him over $50 and this amount
would be doubled in a fortnight IL he
went sightseeing from one place to an
other, travelling all over Denmark in
easy stages.
Season tickets can also be had for
journeys between two towns. Young
people under the age Of 1S travel for
half price.-London Express.

YOUR HOME AND FENCES.
No Man Can Conveniently Go Without Either
Of These Necessities.

thS~~@SeNe%~e
You may as we'll talk about going
without eating as going without
fences. If you have a house and
home you must have a fence around
it. II you have a farm you must
mark its boundaries by fences, and
also shut in the stock with fences.
A fence is in many ways as import
ant as mans house. As commun-
ity grows the subject of fences assumes
more and more prominence.
The success of the anchor" fence
in the United States has been phe-
nomenal for the chief reason that it
combines economy, strength and
beauty in way that instantly APP
peals to everybody. In the Eastern
states where it has been known lon
ger, the factories making it are
pressed to full capacity. In this
state, where it is comparatively new,
its widespread adoption seems to be
only question OF the agents getting
around and showing their wares to
the people.
There is ample reason for all the
talk going on about the anchor"
fence, as it is solving the great fence
problem satisfactorily. 1t is not only
we'll adapted to ornamental work,
but it is the biggest kind of a blessing
to stock raisers and ranchmen gener-
ally. 1t Is made of heavy wire and
the joints are held rivet-tight by the
patent "anchor" clamps. Tt does
not cost as much as the old-fashioned
fences, yet it lasts practically forever.
1t is worth apyone's while to write
to the manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., 742, Nicolai Street,
Portland, Oregon, for catalogue and
pictures explaining their wonderful
fence.

III Usage of the Eve.

Most persons are right or left sighted.
We all use one eye-the right or left-in
preference, when looking through
glass or taking aim with a gun. If we
do not perceive this ourselves, ocullsts
and opticians remark It, The ignorance
Of most people on this subject is Illus
trated by their buying glasses at the
opticians without taking account of any
difference between the eyes. Thus only
one Of the eyes Is helped, while the
other one, being less called Into exercise,
becomes less and less useful and loses
its power, as a tool rusts when not In
use. Yet both our eyes are needed to
see well. 1t becomes, therefore, highly
important to observe how the child
uses It's eyes In order to correct those
attitudes which tend to injury of the
sight, as well as the health. In writing
children rarely fail to give the head
an inclination by which the eyes are
placed at unequal distances from the
paper. They are also apt to incline the
head too far and acquire the habit Of
bringing 1t too near, as when they try
to accommodate themselves to feeble
light Not sufficient attention is paid
to these matters, especially when we
consider the consequences Of such hab-
its in mature age. A large proportion
Of our defects originate in want of prop
er care during childhood. We do wrong
to such wonderful tools as our senses,
when we do not give them the educa-
tlon they need. 1t is surprising that
parents who are so particular about the
way their children hold their spoon or
fork pay so little attention to the way
they use their eyes.
