and stated that it was the intention of
the company to have the surveys for

the venture and although he has since

Ottumwa from Eddyville to the coal
lands in Davis county. At that time

surveyors refusing to talk and local
railroad officials claiming to be as
much in the dark as to what the sur,
veys meant as anyone. The surveys
have continued until the present time
and today it was learned from an OF

One Way to Forete1l Weather.

There were weather prophets before
the weather bureau A correspondent
of the Springfield Republican says
that once when Dudley Leavitt, for
many years the maker of the New
Hampshire Almanac, was driving
northward through Nottingham he en-
countered farmer hoeing by the
roadside.
IA fine morning." said Leavitt.
EYES," was the answer, 'but it's 60
ing to rain before long"
There was no hint of rain In the
summer sky; but before Leavitt had
got through Northwood Narrows a
heavy shower came down upon him.
Wishing to find out how the farmer
could predict SO exactly, he turned
back and found him out in the field
again, after the rain.
II should like to know" said the
astronomer of Winnepesaukee, "how
you could tell so exactly what the
weather was going to be-"
WELL" said the sage, when my old
ram scratches his ear with his left
hind foot in the morning, I'm certain
twill rain before night. Besides, if
that old fool of a Dud Leavitt says in
his almanac, Fair weather may be
expected l know twill be just the
contrary"

WONDERS.

Suppose the earth should turn over, dears.
Some night when we're all asleep;
Why! Wouldn't the water all be spilled
From the ocean so dark and deep?
And suppose the stars rolled about In the
sky,
AS your marbles roll on the floor;
Suppose we could see for millions of miles,
When We look out the window or door!
Suppose we could travel thousands of
miles,
And never feel it, or know!
Oh, it makes me quite dizzy to think, dears,
If the world should a-spinning go!
What is it you say my wise little man?
That in kindergarten you learn
That the stars do roll about in the sky,
And the earth does actually turn?
And you, my dear little nut-brown maid,
With your satchel of books and slate.
You tell me the earth is flying away
At a most inconceivable rate;
That we're always travelling, travelling on,
Some thousands Of miles a day,
Though We never feel it, and may not
know,
We're so busy with work and play.
We've many wonderful lessons to learn,
Grown children as we'll as small,
For you know there were hundreds OF
years, my pets,
When no one supposed at all
That the earth and stars ever moved an
inch,
Then they wouldn't believe twas true;
But don't YOU think, dears, that all the
time
There was Somebody, somewhere, who
knew?

YELLOWNESS OF VISION.
A Condition Of Mind That Nav Ra
Fittingly Termed Mental
Jaundice.

There are some people who have
mental jaundice. That is to say, they
see everything yellow. Physical jaun-
dice produces yellowness of the eyes.
A great many cases of jaundice actual
ly color the aqueous humor of the eye.
This produces condition of the eye
which makes the patient see every-
thing yellow. In fact the patient is
looking out on the world through yell
low fldid, and, of course, everything
looks yellow, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
Now there is condition of mind
which might be likened to yellow jaun-
dice. A person gets yellow in his
mind, he is yellow clear through to
his soul, and his soul is yellow also.
Then he looks out upon the world and
discovers that everything is yellow.
Every publication is yellow, every en-
terprise, everything is yellow but him.
self, whom he fondly imagines is not
yellow, simply because he cannot see
himself
Mental jaundice is still worse than
physical jaundice. No drug can cure
mental jaundice, and there is no ra-
tional treatment for it. The patient
never knows that there is anything
the matter with him. His friends and
neighbors know that there is some
thing wrong, but they can never make
the patient believe it. A person might
great deal better have something the
matter with his liver than something
the matter with his mind by which a
concentrated bile of distrust and
hatred is impaired to the soul. Mental
jaundice Is great deal worse than
physical jaundice, as the bile that GOV.
ers the eye in mental jaundice is
wholly imaginary bile, which also
clouds |the judgment and impairs the
feelings.

STORY TOLD OF ROOSTER.
He Made Things Lively in Railroad
Car and Awakened the Sleepy
Passengers.

There were many passengers IN the
car, and nearly all were asleep. took
seat, leaned back, and had just fallen
into a doze when I was awakened
by the loud Growing of a rooster, writes
a contributor to the Chicago Tribune.
There he was, large rooster, strut
ting up the aisle, with head erect, and
every few seconds letting forth such a
loud chuckle that in a moment nearly
ing his head in establishment.
The rooster strutted wonderingly up
the aisle until he came to a large, portly
man, who was leaning back, with legs
crossed, one knee as high as his head,
and still asleep. The bird took only
one look and then flew up, alighting on
the conspicuous knee. At this juncture
everyone else in the car became intense
ly interested, and nearly all the passen-
gers were on their feet, anxious to see
what the man would do when he awoke.
It needed only one more sound from
the rooster before the stout man
opened his eyes. With a sudden start
backward he threw up his hands in as
tonishment, while roars of laughter came
from every part of the car.
This excitement was too much for the
rooster, and with one jump he flew up
to the bell-rope, which sagged under his
weight, and the train, laundering along
at so miles an hour, came to such sud-
den stop that many passengers were
thrown from their feet in confused
middle. The train had no more thar
come to stop when an irate conductor
came hurriedly into the car and de.
manded who had stopped the train By
that time the owner of the rooster hat
awakened, and, taking in the situation
reached up, gathered in the wandering
bird, and restored him to the bag from
which he had escaped.
There was no more sleep. Everybod,
was too busy laughing.

TO HELP THE. HOME DOCTOR
Some Suggestions Regarding Treat
ment OF Small Wounds and
Ailing Feet.

Salt is said to be a preventive Of
fostering in scratches, open wounds, etc.
An American teacher in Porto Rico was
surprised to see native, who was clear
ing a tract of brush. apply fine pow
dered salt to his feet and legs The
scratches could not be avoided, but a
pinch of salt could be depended on to
keep them from fostering, the man said.
Contrary to common opinion, salt does
not aggravate the painfulness of open
wounds, says Peoples Home Journal.
The value of salt as an antiseptic is
demonstrated by its general use as
preservative.
Affections of the feet are especially
distressing in spring and early sum-
mer to those who are obliged to be much
on them. The troubles are not due, as
so many suppose, to tight or ill-fitting
shoes, but to the excessive exercise Of
the feet in close shoes without free &C
cess of the air to the muscles in action.
The bare-footed boy is seldom footsore,
but the lad whose feet are incased in
close shoes in summer, when the per-
spiration is abundant, is likely to be a.
sufferer One of the remedies for this
trouble is to wear low shoes, so that the
feet may be partially ventilated. Next
in Importance to proper ventilation, is
proper bathing. All persons ought to
battle and rub their feet vigorously once
a day and put on fresh stockings.
Stockings nay be aired one day for the
next. 1t is not always necessary that
they should be put through water every
day. Simply drying and airing them
may be enough. Thus two or three pairs
of stockings may be worn in rotation for
week. Persons who suffer from excess
sive perspiration of the feet should be
especially particular. They should
bathe their feet in cold water, rubbing
alcohol between the toes and powder the
feet carefully with equal parts of orris
root and starch. When person suffers
from cold feet, frequent bathing is often
eft1cacious, but the feet ought to be
rubbed vigorously after the bath.
