indian with Eyeglasses.

st noticed something the other
day that was to me in the nature of
a novelty" remarked a prominent
local court stenographer, who has
spent considerable time in a business
way among the descendants of the
American aborigines. What struck
me as strange was my meeting here
in Washington with an Indian who
wore eyeglasses. In the course Of
all my experience with the red men
I never before observed Poor Lo
making use of lenses to aid his
sight. Perhaps the name of this
particular Indian has something to
do with his adopting what is unques-
tionably a very necessary custom of
civilization. He bears the cognomen
/ Foggy Cloud, and is a member of
the Chippewa tribe. All the other
Indians of my acquaintance are
blessed with keen sight of the most
pronounced type, and I do not re-
member hearing that any of them
ever had eye trouble of any charac-

Champagne end Cancer.

There is a remarkable coincidence be-
tween the spread Of cancer and the
largely increased daily consumption of
effervescent wines and waters among
the wealthy classes. Prior to the six
ties champagne as drink was, even
In higher circles, partaken of but occa-
sionally, nor were aerated waters com
sumed III anything like the quantity nor
with the frequency that they now are.
These beverages, and indeed all effer-
vescing drinks, owe their sparkle to the
carbonic acid gas which they contain.
My contention is that the upper classes
by their habit of constantly imbibinG
effervescent beverages, which are solu-
tons of carbonic acid of greater or less
strength, SO prepare their mucous tis-
sues as to make them fayoring host
to the cancerous fungus, If fungus it
be.-London Medical Times.

1t Is said that in Rhodesia white ants
destroy boots and articles Of clothing
left on tables or hanging on nails. The
following is from letter received re-
Gently from South Africa: "On awak-
ing in the morning you are astonished
to see cone shaped object on the
brick floor short distance from your
bed with two holes at the top. On
closer examination you discover that
the holes have just the size and shape
of the inside of your boots. which you
ircautiously left on the floor the night
before. They have given form and pro-
portion to an ant heap. and nothing is
left of them except the nails, eyelets
and maybe part of the heels"

BUTTER AS A MEDICINE.
II Is Good For Consurnptives and
For Thin, weak People.

For Thin, weak People.
Butter is SO common commodity
that people use it and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand in the pats of dainty yellow
cream fat. or course they know that It
is useful in many branches Of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare of its thinly rolled bread
and butter, its delicate cakelets and its
pther usual accessories. Beyond these
uses the value Of butter is thing only
vaguely thought Of.
But this delicate fat is us valuable
as the dearer cod liver oil for weakly,
thin people, and doctors have frequent.
" recommended the eating of many
thin slices of bread thickly spread with
butter as means of pleasantly taking
into the bodily tissues one of the pur-
est forms of fat it is possible to get
Butter Is carbon, and all excess Of

gives energy and power to work to
those who eat heartily of it. So it is
not economy at table to spare the but
ter, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery, If plenty of fat can be digest
ed, is one of the best ways Of curing
the disease If it is in its early stages
or Of keeping it at bay If advanced.
Butter is not simple fat, composed
Of merely one sort. 1t is mixture OF
no less than seven different sorts of
fats, and 10 more complex oil can be
taken than this is.

Clean nnd Crisp.
Most women hate to spend new
money" says an observant salesman
Il haven't the faintest idea why this
should be SO. but I've noticed it often
right here in the store.
"A woman will make a purchase and
pull out her purse to pay the bill, but If
she happens to have to part with a
clean, crisp note in making up the
amount she looks greatly annoyed. I've
seen women with fat wads Of bright
brand new bills 1ustered when they
came to pay for purchases because
they hadn't sufficient old money to
meet the charges. They would dig out
the contents of their purses and stow
the crisp notes to one side, and If they
couldn't scrape up the sum in few
cases I've known them to go out with.
out buying.
"Others will give utterance to little
feminine EXPLANATIONS Of dismay and
will hastily pay for the articles select
ed in the new money. Then they viii
march off with quite show of indig-
nation, just as If they had been invei-
gled into spending the money.

his salary home in beautiful, clean GER

culiarity of the sex, and he says it
saves him all kinds of money."-Phila-

1t has been ascertained by a series of
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart, so that q
continuous crack is formed along the
Tine of the intended cut. The crack
once begun, very small force is neces.
gary to carry it through the glass, and
thus the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep. A depth, according to fine meas
urements, of two-hundredth- part of
one inch is quite sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose, SO that the applica-
ton of much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into
proper form, will cut glass like dia-
mond, but are not so valuable for that
purpose. lacking the requisite hardness
and soon losing the sharp edge neces-
sary to make the operation success.

An odd Use For the Pin.

An odd use that the pin was put to
long ago was that of checking the in
temperate habits of the English. st.
Dunstan conceived the idea of dividing
the tankards out of which the liquor
was drunk into eight equal parts, each
part marked with a silver pin. The
cups were generous affairs, holding
two quarts. Consequently the quantity
from pin to pin was half pint, and
the regulation was that the drinker
"stop at PIN"
Roisterers, however, prevented the
purpose of good st. Dunstan and estab-
lished the rule of good fellowship"
by which the drinker was to stop only
at pin. If he drank beyond, he had
to go on to the next mark. AS it was
difficult to stop exactly at pin the
vain efforts always excited much
mirth, and the trial usually ended with
the draining of the tankard-
