LYNCHINCS.

There is much latent murder in
civilized human nature. The first i'm
pulse when some people hear of s.
brutal crime, and even common Of
lenses, is the wish that fell punish
ment be visited upon the perpeira.Or.
When President Mckinley was shot
down there was a general cry for re-
venge.
The chief of police of Buffalo re-
ceived hundreds of letters from
men who proposed the most dread
full tor,ures for the murderer, and
some OF the writer's went so far as to
offer their services to inflict them.
All such men are dangerous. Men
capable of such propositions are liza

The disposition to take the law in
their own hands is more common
among people in the United States
than in any other land. Students of
government believe The lynching
problem is fast reaching that point
where drastic measures will have to
be taken by congress to check it,
Governors of the "lynching" states

Eyes win be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into a glass or
eyecup of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa
ter. This Is somewhat difficult to do
at first. but if the water for two or
three days be tepid and gradually made
colder By imperceptible degrees until
it is no shock to put the face into quite
cold water it will soon become quite
easy and is very invigorating and re-
freshing
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is right
and wrong way of w ,ing the eyes
after this. too. and the right way is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after a long day the eyes feel so
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do little neces-
sary sewing for oneself. they should be
bathed with cold tea from which tho
leaves have been removed.

Mind is not matter nor from matter,
