REMEMBER WOMAN'S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair, But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

A woman's eyes are the first objects to attract a mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair, the dimple in her chin and the soft, sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub- ject.
 He may not be able to single her glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet, but still some particular turn of her glance, some little trick of dropping will be as clear to him as the daylight. Ten years after love >has been lad away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like Banquo's s ghost at the feast and startle him just at the moment when the man is look ing most intently into the eyes of an- other woman.
 1t Is not the color of a woman's eyes which man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of a pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red headed girl on the other side of the table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed. tawny-eyed woman has lured away her sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sister s eyes and he will look at you blankly. "Jove," he will remark, TT believe I've forgotten. But they're all right. There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes were green or that Cleopatras eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinations of those fascinating la dies, nor dulled their regulations as coquettes. Color, size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess, the power to make man break a bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called it "soul." Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called it character" But no man will ever know what it is any more than he will ever know why he married the particu- lar woman he picked out or why the cook has left. It is a question as subtle and elusive as either of these.

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of Its
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? It is, I believe, that he teels himself in a country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; a country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention. 'good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which infects the American air like sting and challenge. and braces every Ameri- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open op- portunities. unreserved possibilities. no battering at locked doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here, m short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.

For Purifying Air.

Pure breathing air can now be main tained in small closed space by the use of machinery. The device consists clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into water at regular intervals, a cubical steel box and a ventilating fan The sodium peroxide is decomposed by the water with liberation of oxygen, ab- sorption of carbon dioxide and destruc- tion of the other toxic products of res piration. A refrigerator is also sup piled to counteract the heating effects of the chemical reactions. The com plete apparatus weighs about 2S pounds.-Detroit News-Tribune.
