the other side of the street? Every

CHEMISTRY OF TEARS.
Phosphate of Lime and Soda Are the
Substances Emitted from the
Lachrymal Gland

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
fill space or to give expression to
emotion. 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 prescribed duty of the
body, washing thoroughly that sensi-
tive 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 re-
spect, advocating the invigorating So
luton for any distressed condition
of the optics. Tears do not weaken
the sight, but improve it. They act
as tonic on the muscular vision,
keeping the eye soft and impid, and
it 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 disposition, 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 nourish-
ment to the blood.
The reason some women weep
more easily than others, and still
more readily than the sterner sex,
has not it's difference in the strength
of the tear gland, but in the posses
sion of more delicate nerve system.
The nerve fbers about the glands vi.
brate more easily, causing a down.
pour from the watery sac. Men are
not nearly so sensitive to emotion;
their sympathetic nature-the term
is used in a medical sense-is less de-
veloped, and the eye is therefore pro-
tected from shocks. Consequently a
man should thank the formation OF
his nerve nature when he contempt
uously scorns tears as woman's
practice. Between man and monkey
there is this essential difference OF
tears: An ape cannot weep, not SO
much because it's emotional powers
are undeveloped as the fact that the
lachrymal gland was omitted in hit

our own against n surly railway por-

Master Boots that we emerge from

stand before the overwhelming power
vested In an offended waiter? We
cannot even mount y trolley car II the

Receives 6oer Generals, But Made
Conditions That They Refused.
Berlin, oct. 9.-The decision of the
kaiser to receive the Boer generals,
Bertha, DeWet and Delarey, is Sc
verely criticised by the people, al
though the law OF the lese majestic
prevents the newspapers from speak
ing out on the subject. The kaiser
was anxious to see the generals and
had caused them to be notified that
he would be pleased to give them
an audience when he was informed
that a committee of Poles were about
to visit England TO present the Polish
side Of the controversy with Prussia.
The kaiser thereupon concluded that
If he should receive the Beers, the
British might retaliate by giving an
enthusiastic welcome to the Poles
and he, therefore, made it a condition
of the proposed reception that the
Boer generals should be introduced
by the British ambassador and should
say nothing against the government
OF Great Britain. The Boer generals
did not intend to say anything against
Great Britain. but regarded the pro
posal in advance as a reflection upon
their judgment and fidelity to theiI
allegiance. They did not, therefore
request to see the kaiser, and the
kaiser, on his part, stated that he
would not see them. The general i'm
preston is that the kaisers attitude

asked If there was any possibility of

piled;
"Unless the demands of the strikers
are granted in full, do not see how
Mitchell can settle the strike without

of the demands are granted that
would render it necessary to call a
