The Eye of the East.

Damascus, perhaps the most ancient
city in the world, claims the proud title
of ''the Eye Of the East" which the
striking beauty of its aspect from dis
lance fully justities.
Bright buildings which sparkle IN
der the Syrian sun rise out of a mass
of many tinted foliage. To the north
west stretch the long, bare, snow White
ridges of Anti-Lebanon, while in
charming contrast gardens, rich corn
fields and teeming orchards form a
brilliant setting on ell sides.
Winding through this profuse display
Of oriental beauty, the rivers Barrada
and Phege-the ALBANIA and Pharpar Of
Scripture-lose themselves far to the

Uacommercial List,

Artistic folk frequently have some

of the celebrated statesman and diplo-

To which List gave the tart reply:

"sillz" That Is Really Tin.

OF course British critics say that the
practice of adulterating silk with tin
originated in Germany. At any rate. it
Is common enough now.
All silk is mixed with more or less
foreign matter to give it weight and
stability. Vegetable substances We're
formerly used for the purpose. In dye
ing silk the necessary boiling reduces
Its weight about one-fourth, taking out
the natural gummy substances. The
weight is sometimes restored with tan
mic acid. Tin is more common-most of
all in cheap black silks.

Typewriter Puts 10, 800 Words on
Paper in Five Hours, Which
Breaks the Record.

Matte Van Pelt, stenographer
in a Paducah law Office has broken
the worlds record on a typewriter.
She has just written 10000 words
from shorthand notes in hvs hours.
The worlds record heretofore
was held by Miss Mary E. Pretty
a stenographer at the Capitol in
Washington, who wrote 1900
words in six hours. In speaking Of
the feat Miss Van Pelt said she
was not writing against the record,
and did not know what she had
done until she counted the words.
She said also that Miss Pretty
made her record by copying from
manuscript, which was much easier
and faster than copying from
shorthand notes.

SAD CASE.
A Father Driven Insane By Drown
ing of His Sons.

A Henderson paper of Saturday
contained the following: "Chiet Eli
jah Henry left yesterday for Hop
kinsville in charge of Charles Nc
Ahan, who was adjudged OF un-
sound mind in yesterdays court"
Behind this simple announcement
is a tragic and pathetic story. Mr..
McAhan saw his three little sons,
in the best of health, leaves their
homes in Henderson last June for
an outing in grove not far distant.
McAhan was sitting in his yard
when a messenger conveyed the
news of the little sons having been
drowned.
When the bodies we're found they
were tightly clasped in each others
arms. The father watched the res
cue of the bodies until the terrible
shock had done it's work. He fell
as if in death. He was lifted from
the ground and in the merciful
state of Inconsistencies was con-
veyed to his home.
After many hours consciousness
returned and with it the smile
which first enlightened his face at
sight of his dead children. At the
triple funeral people turned sadly
away as they caught glimpse of
the pale agonized features of Mr..
McAhan. The first paroxism ofgrief
had shaken the foundation of reason
and though his mind, lettering
under the awful strain, did not at
once become a wreck, it was not
far distant. The crisis came
week ago, when the unfortunate
mems insanity assumed a violent
nature. He was IN a store in
Henderson when, without warning,
he drew a revolver and fred
promiscuously atimaginary objects.
1t was necessary that he be taken
in charge by the authorities. An
inquest into his mental condition re-
suited in his being sent to the asy-
lum. The case, because of its es-
peclally sad features, has attracted
general attention.
