The IachrymaI Fluid.

Tears have their functional duty to
accomplish, like every other fluid OF
the body, and the lachrymal gland Is
not placed behind the eyes simply to
fill space or to give expression to ems-
ton.
The chemical properties Of tears
consist of phosphate Of lime and soda,
making them very salty, but never
bitter. Their action on the eye is very
beneficial, and here consists their pre-
scribed 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 laws in this
solution for any distressed condition
respect, advocating the invigorating
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 limpidI and 1t will be
sympathetic tears gather quickly have
brighter, tenderer Orbs than others.
When the pupils are hard and cold,
the world attributes it to ones dis
position, 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 nourishment to the
blood.

Indiana Music Teachers.

The Indiana music teachers annual
meeting at Terre Haute was largely at
tended by delegates. In his annual
address President Oliver Willard
Pierce of Indianapolis referred to the
new constitution authorized at the
meeting in Columbus year ago. and
adopted at special meeting in In
dianapolis last December. The change
in the law is to promote the purpose
of the association to become a genu-
inely representative body Of the mu-
steal interests of the state. He said
he had sent letters to every ladies'
matinee musicale or similar club, in
viting each society to elect two dele
gates. He also sent letters to con-
servatories Of music and educational
institutions in which music is included
in the curriculum. He also endeavored
to appoint a musician in each county
in the state to act as a delegate TO
the state body.

THE ENGAGED GIRL

Has an idea she has accomplished
her life work.
Looks down with undisguised pity
upon heart-free companions.
Sees something to laugh at in the
Jokes about maidens.
Spends seven-eighths Of her time In
the shops.
Begins to tell her mother how a
house should be run.
Starts a collection of handkerchiefs
and doilies.
Thinks all her old admirers are dy-
ing of broken hearts.
Becomes absent-minded and leaves
her left hand ungloved.
Gives the hero in the latest novel
her fiance's name.
Promises every girl she knows that
she'll be one of the 5ridemaids.
Is on the whole the most annoying
personifcation Of egotism imaginable

PASSING OF "MANNISH WOMAN"

PASSING OF "MANNISH WOMAN"
Backward and forward swings the
pendulum of fashion. We fancy we
have put away certain frivolities for
ever, and, presto! here they are again
as pronounced as ever. The fact is
that the man and woman in esse have
not changed at all. A baby born now
or before the Christian era has prac-
tically the same nature. the latter day
infant having no more capability for
development than his medieval pro-
totype.
Our boosted civilization of today, as
far as the individual is concerned, is
like the coral reefs that help to build
up a continent-it Is the accumulated
work and production of each insect
that creates the great result, the In
sect itself remaining always exactly
the same. Circumscribed as we are.
therefore, by the limitations of our
humanity, we find in our orbit that

The Photographic knapsack Is the
invention of an Iowa genius. His idea
is to place an ordinary photograph
that has been fixed to play waltz music
in a kHapsack that can be carried on
a mans back The phonograph has
two sets of receivers to be placed at
the ears These receivers are fitted into
an arrangement so that they can be re-
tanned at the ears without being held
by the hands.
The photographic knapsack has
been designed for use at dances The
young men carry them on their backs.
In beginning a waltz a man places one
set Of receivers at his own ears and
the other at the ears of his fair part
ner. By pulling a cord dangling from
the Photographic knapsack the ma
chine is set in motion and waltz Is
played to which the young man and his
partner merrily dance. The invention
will do away with orchestras and tin
sounding pianos, each male guest fur
nishing his own music for himself and
his partner.-Philadelph Times.

The levee along Feather creek broke
and the entire northwest of the city
of Clinton was flooded to a depth OF
from two to five feet. The section is
thickly settled, and for a time there
was a reign OF terror Few men were
at their homes, and the women avert
ed fatalities by carrying and dragging
children TO the highlands. a hundred
yards distant One woman was car
ried by the force of the water beyond
her depth, and was saved only after
desperate effort Gardens were de-
stroyed. chickens drowned and many
homes flooded. The damage Will ag-
gregate several hundred dollars.

CHECKS FIRES ON SHIPS.


Berlin Chemists Invention 1mprsgnates
Air with Carbenic Acid Gas.
It is we'll known that fire cannot burn
In an atmosphere strongly impregnated
with carbonic acid gas. This fact has
result that we have hand fire grenades
in many public buildings and factories,
and experience has repeatedly demon
strated their value. Some experiments
have recently been made in Bremen
In connection with a mode Of extin-
gushing fires on board ship, invented
by Berlin chemist named Gronwald,
that is based upon the theory OF the
hand fire grenade. The objects aimed
at and said to have been attained by
the new system are: First, to give
timely notice, by means of a special
apparatus, of any fire which may break
out in the hold of ship; and, second.
to extinguish promptly the fire by
pumping carbonic acid gas into the
hold. Two piles of wood were built
up in the forehold Of lighter. The
large logs were mixed with smaller
blocks CT wood and a quantity Of wood
shavings soaked in petroleum. On the
tops Of the piles Of wood was spread
about a fourth Of ton of coal, and
in the hold was placed an iron basket
filled with coke heated to q perfect
glow. The two piles Of wood were set
alight simultaneously at 4:07 o'clock
In the afternoon. The fire developed
quickly with the matches open, and at
1921 the matches were closed. Then
carbonic acid gas was pumped into the
hold for twenty-one minutes, and ten
minutes later the matches were opened.
The fire was found to be extinguished
completely. The fire alarm worked
perfectly, and the thermometer on
deck showed correctly the rise and fall
Of the temperature in the hold. The
inventor claims that when a fire
breaks out in a ships hold, if his sys-
TEN is followed the fire will be an
nounced automatically on deck; it Will
be kept under observation from the
deck and extinguished by operations
carried out on deck.

ly recognized that the common cold is
most infectious. The germs, whatever
they may be. have a way Of running
through household. The first infect
ed member of a family ought, If it
were practicable, to be put into quar-
antine, so as to save the rest Of the
clan, says the Philadelphia Ledger. I'm
luckily, colds may be caught in the
trolley or on the train, or any place Of
public assembly. Sad to say, places
Of worship are great breeding places OF
colds, because the ventilation is not
usually of the best, and the air, being
overmuch used by the congregation,
becomes of low quality, so that the
respirer of such air often falls an easy
prey to the germs which are respon-
sible for colds. The unlucky man who.
wiser than his generation, insists on
opening windows, often gets much
abused for causing cold by creating
draught. But the mischief was prob
ably done before the breeze began to
blow.

A Drinking Orchid.

A strange species Of orchid has been
found in South America along the Rio
de la Platte, the land of peculiar
plants and flowers. This particular or
child whenever it feels thirsty takes a
drink by letting down a tube into
the water. When the tube is not In
use it is coiled up on the top OF the
plant. 1t is highly Interesting CO CO
watch the working Of this plant. When
it feels that it needs water the tube
gradually unwinds itself until it dips
into the water Then it slowly coils
round and winds up, carrying with 1t
the amount Of water contained in that
part Of the tube which had been i'm
nersed, until the final coil is taken,
when the water is dumped into the
heart of the plant. Then the tube re-
mains coiled until more water is re-
Quired.
The plant grows at the edge Of a
stream directly over the water or
where the water has been. Where the
water has dried away it is almost
pathetic to see the tube work its way
over the ground in search Of moisture
to nourish the plant.

rate preamble to an analysis of the

her grandmother, of fifty years ago,
who does nothing bat look Supremacy

very much to the fore. says the New
York Tribune. A couple of years ago
it was generally thought that the ath-

develop a new woman, and that the
fluffy summer girl of yore had vanish

PLANT VERSUS MOSQUITOES

In Venezuela, the castor-oil plan
growing around houses is believed to
keep mo~quitos away. In that coun-
try the plant grows to the size Of
tree and is perennial, whereas in more
temperate climates it attains a height
of only four or five feet. But United
States Consul Plumacher at Maracaibo
thinks the plant would be equally eff
fective against mosquitoes anywhere.
BY keeping the branches and seeds Of
the plant in a room, he says, the pests
are driven away.

Corn OIL Versus Olive Oil.

attention to the approaching COMPETE
ton of American corn oil. 1t is stated
that this oil is greatly appreciated
from an industrial point of view, and
that its fine golden color and agree
able taste make it a possible rival
for older and better known varieties
of table oil. Well-directed efforts have
been made for some time, notably at
the Paris Exposition, to establish this
product in foreign markets, and from
present indications it would appear
that they have been successful.
