Thoreau,s sensitlveness to Nature.

ThOreaus stole virtues withal never
dulled his sense of awe, and his long
years of observation never lessened his
feeling of strangeness in the presence
Of solitary nature, says Paul Elmer
More in the Atlantic If at times his
writing descends into the cataloguing
style of the ordinary naturalist, yet
the old tradition of wonder was too
strong in him to be more than tenn
porarily obscured. Unfortunately his
| occasional faults have become in some
| of his recent imitatOrs the staple Of
their talent; but Thoreau was pre-em-
inently the poet and philosopher of
his school, and l cannot do better than
close these desultory notes with the
quotation Of a passage which seems
to me to convey most wildly his sensi-
tiveness to the solemn mystery of the
deep forest. 1--WE heard" he writes
in his Chesuncook, "come family echo
ing, or creeping from afar, through the
moss-clad aisles, a dull, dry, rushing
sound, with a solid core to it, yet as If
half smothered under the grasp Of the
luxuriant and funguslike forest, like
the shutting of door in some distant
entry of the damp and shaggy wilder
ness. If we had not been there, nc
mortal had heard it. When we asked
Joe (the Indian guide in a whisper
what it was, he answered: Tree

MERELY AN EYE WASH.
The Chemical View Of Tears differs from
the Pooticni View.

The Chemical View OF Tears diners from
the Pooticni View.
Tears have their functional duty to
accomplish, like every other fluid of
the body, and the lachrymal gland Is
not placed behind the eye simply to ill
space or to give expression to emotion.
The chemical properties of tears con-
sist of phosphate OF lime and soda,
making them very salty. but never Bit
ter Their action on the eye IS very
beneficial, and here consists their pre-
sCrlbed duty of the body, washing
thoroughly that sensitive organ, which
allows no foreign fluid to do the same
work. Nothing cleanses the eye like
good, salty shower bath, and medical
art has followed natures law in this
respect, advocating the inyigoratlng
solution for any distressed condition of
the optics. Tears do not weaken the
sight, but improve It, They act as a
tonic on the muscular vision, keeping
the eye soft and limpld, and 1t will be
noticed that women in whose eyes
sympathetic tears gather quickly have
brighter tenderer orbs than others.
When the pupils are hard and cold,
the world attributes it to ones dispO-
sition, which is a mere figure Of speech
implying the lack Of balmy tears, that
are to the cornea what salve is to the
skin or nourlshment to the blood.
The reason some weep more easily
! than others and all more readily than
the sterner sex has not its difference
in the strength of the tear gland, but
in the possession of a more delicate
nerve system. The nerve fibres about
the glands vlbrate more easily, causing
downpour from the watery sac. Men
are not nearly so sensitive to emotion;
their sympathetic nature-that term
is used in a medical sense-is less de-
velOped, and the eye gland Is, there
fore, protected from shocks. COnse-
quently, a man should thank the for
nation of his nerve nature when he
cOntemptuously scorns tears as a wom-
ans practice. Between man and mon
key there is this essential difference
of tears. An ape cannot weep, not so
much because its emotional powers
are undevelOped, as the fact that the
lachrymal gland was omitted in his OPP
teal makeup. - Dietlc and Hygiene

STRINGS of pearls in the Hair.

London is at last waking to life,
dinners become more frequent, and
jewels are once more in requisition-
The newest notion is to twist strings
of pearls in the hair and if this is
neatly and artistically done, the effect
is excellent, especially when the hair
is dark. This is really an old fashion
revived, as a glance at books Of beauty
Or portraits Of ancestresses viii easily
prove 1t is by no means necessary
to use real pearls; indeed, many peo-
pie consider that contact with the hair
injuries the beauty Of valuable pearls

charming May Manton model has the
merit of being essentially feminine and
graceful at the same time that is
ideally comfortable. AS shown, it is
made Of white dimity with collar of
revering and frils of Valencennies
lace; but various white and colored
materials can be substituted and nee
dlework can be made to take the place
Of lace. Dainty striped materials are
fashionable and always effective;
polka dots and other simple all-oyers
are admirable and such plain colors as
blue, pink and lavender are pretty
when they suit the wearer.
The back Of the jacket is plain and
terminates at the waist line, but the
fronts are elongated and fall in soft

A stvIish Costume.

A stylish separate waist is of yellow
silk of rather a deep shade, with lit
tie white at the neck, hardly enough
to call a yoke or a vest. 1t shows a
pretty contrast in blue velvet ribbon,
which ornaments the waist at the
front-inch wide ribbon of a soft blue,
which is best described as a cadet, in
a number of long bows.
Another pretty waist is the one
shown in the large drawing by May
Manton Used in the same sketch is
an attractive fve-gored skirt which
serves to complete a costume of ex.
ceptionable beauty.

LIE sends His Bllls to the Mon.

'There is a man in an Eastern city
who does a large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children" writes Edward Box, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. HE makes
and sells nothing else. His trade is al
most entirely with women. Up to
within three years ago he would send
out to his customers bills amounting
to as much as $4,000. In six months
time he would receive less than $4,000
in return Yet his customers all stood
welp and were considered women Of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills
He went over his books and found
that he had some $4,000 worth Of un-
paid accounts. He made out the bills,
and addressed them to the husbands OF
fathers of his customers, directing the
bills to their Offices. Within sixty
days he had received $4,000 in checks.
His invariable rule now is to send all
his bills to the husbands, fathers or
the male members of his customers

lists he insists upon a cash transac-

becoming to almost all women.
TO make this jacket for a woman of
medium size, three and threequarter

The shirt waist that closes at the
back is a marked feature of the sea-
son and is peculiarly effective when
made of fine material stitched in tucks.
The smart May Manton design shown
is admirable in every way. The orig
inal is of white lawn with insertion
of Valencennies lace and is charming

many materials and combinations.
The front is tucked to yoke depth

NOTES.
One of the prisoners who was given a
sentence in Auburn jail has made writ
ten request of the court that the place
of punishment be changed to the state
prison. It is unnecessary to state that
no action by tho court is called for.
In the case of State vs. Harry Brown
of Waterford, an Indictment for throw
ing sawdust in Crooked River, Mr..
Wright, Browns counsel, has filed a
demurrer, and it goes to the law court
for ruling. The law under which the
Indictment is found is q special act for
the protection of fish, and prohibits the
throwing of sawdust in streams lying
wholly or in part in the towns of CascO,
Naples and Raymond in the County of
Cumberland. The defendants conten-
ton is that the law applies only in those
towns.

One of the curious incidents which the
clerk in a Lewiston glove store relates is
like this. A lady came in to have her
gloves fitted and sat down too far away
from the elbow cushion on the counter.
The clerk patted the cushion and said,
"Please sit up here" The answering
look of surprise on the visitors face was
overwhelming as she suffered back,
s'Why, my dear girl, I couldn't get up
there to save my life." She weighed
nearly 200. II was almost minute be-
fore the clerk could explain that she
merely wished the woman to sit nearer
the elbow cushion.
