Eye-stratn and Nervousness.

In some cities the nervous child Is
moving parents and physicians to ap-
peal for fewer hours in the schools and
less pressure. We do not much believe
In the intellect, the morals, or the
pedagogics of the colt-breakers or the
boy-breakers. There are better ways
to break a horse or a child than to
break its will, and the teacher that en-
tertains such diabolic theories should
be broken" The noteworthy fact
about the whole discussion is the ut
ter omission from a hundred papers
and editorials and discussions of the
most important element Of the entire
matter. There are, 1t is true, many
other factors; there is really overstudy
and overpressure, but the n cause OF
the nervous child which is ignored, but
which is as prolific a source of evil as
perhaps all others combined, Is aye

Our Mr.. Sitdown Thompson has ia
vored us with the following neat and
comprehensive article on the subject of
getting after the grafters:
at is evident that those who are
now beating about the bushes in the eff
fort to locate and run down a CRATER
are not familiar with the appearance
and characteristics of the game they
seek. AS the schoolboy says in his es-
say: There ire many kinds of graft
ers.' There is, of course, the common
or garden CRATER, which is apt to be
found anywhere. But for exciting
sport it is worth while to chase the
rarer species of CRATER. The follow
ing varieties will be found to furnish
much excitement when cornered:
"Phonografter-A CRATER who tells
everybody the same thing and keeps
all the money.
"Telegrafter-A CRATER who depends
upon his knowledge of the wires, and
rarely takes anything collect
"Paragrafter-A CRATER who con-
fines himself to two or three lines.
"Cinematografter-A CRATER who
works with a screen, and gives you a
poor explanation of the things he shows
you.
"Autografter-A CRATER who thinks
you ought to come to the center as
soon rs you hear his name.
"Aerografter-A CRATER who uses
lots of air-hot air.
"Monografter-A CRATER who sticks
to one graft.
"SKigrafter-A CRATER who depends
upon the X raise.
"Mimeografter-A CRATER who cop
les the work of other grafters and
claims his graft is Just as good.
"Radiagrafter-A CRATER who APP
plies high scientific principles to his
work. You can not understand how he
does it, but he goes through you.

lots Of face and doesn't mind an ex-
posture. Chicago Tribune.

WAR VESSELS WITH BAD NAMES.
Experience Appears to Indicate That
They Will Have Bad Luck.

From the Navy League Journal.
If one should be so bold as to characterize
the superstitious sailor as silly he would
at once declare that there is sufficient rea-
son for his belief and would proceed to
prove that war vessels named after singing
and venomous things have been unlucky
and that the country should not be SO in
different to the men who follow "a life on
the ocean wave" as to organize mosquito
fleet
That Snake is regarded as an unfortunate
name for a vessel is shown by the fact that
two Of that name have been lost, one in 1871
and the other in 1S47 but no vessel bearing
that name is known to exist now Serpent,
which Is only a substitute name for Snake,
Is an unlucky one also, for the one wrecked
in 1892 was the fourth British war vessel of
that name to meet the same fate. Viper has
been an unlucky name in the British navy.
The first one was wrecked in 1880, but the
admiralty would not swerve, and SO kept
the name on the list, each vessel meeting
its doom, and the fourth was lost only re-
Gently The French navy has also been un-
lucky with vessels so named. The Viper,
used in the British service after she be-
came prize from the French was lost in
1893. The second was lost year later,
the third in 1871 and the fourth was recent

TUNNELTON, w. Va, October 12.--Lo-
cal issues in West Virginia form the text
for the speeches of Mr. Davis, who is doing
most of the talking as he fits from one
town to another in his whirlwind special
He demands a registration law of the re-
publican legislature. also a relief from
state taxes for the farmer. with heavier
burden on corporate interests.
The way to be sure of these results. he
declared. Is to elect a democratic governor
and legislature.
When Mr. Davis gets through with his
audiences, which give him earnest atten-
ton and Endorsement, there is not much
time left for the discussion of national is
sues, which task is delegated to Messrs
HILL Daniel and Whyte. The early meet
ings today were short ones.

CARAVAN ROAD 5000 YEARS.
Scenes Along One Of Most Ancient
Highways in the World.
From Scribner's Magazine

From Scribner'S Magazine.
The road from HONS to Hama runs al
most due north. a straight white line cut
ting across the green fields. 1t is one of
the oldest routes in the world. Caravans
have been passing along 1t for at least five
thousand years, just as we saw them-long
strings of slow moving camels with their
bright colored bags OF wheat.
One could almost imagine that Pharaoh
was again calling down the corn of Ha-
math to fill his granaries against the seven
years of famine. But even here the old
things are passing. Just beyond the long
line of camels was a longer line of fellah
women, their dirty blue robes killed above
their knees carrying upon their shoulders
baskets of earth and stone for the roadbed
Of the new French railway. The carriage
road is French, too; and a very good road
it is. Some men were repairing it with
most ingenious roller. 1t was a great round
stone, drawn by two oxen, and having its
axle prolonged by a twenty-foot pole, at
the end of which bare-legged Arab was
fastened to balance the whole affair." If
the stone had toppled over the picture of
the Arab dangling at the top of the slender
flagstaff would have been worth watching.
All along the ride we were reminded of
the past 1t is fertile soil. but the very
wheat fields are different from ours. Only

English Champion Defeated Duffy.

The sensation Of the fall season In English
athletics was the invitation 1O0-yard run
at the games of the South London Harriers,
a little more than a week ago. Among the
competitors were Arthur ]. Duffey of Amer
lea and ]. w. Morton, the present English
champion and the man who defeated Duff
fey for the English title last July. Both
Morton and, Duffey won their heats In good
time and there was great excitement when
they came out for the final At the crack
of the gun Duffey was first away and at
fifty yards was leading the Englishman by
five feet. At seventyfive yards the Briton
drew level with the Yank, passed him, and
in the run to the worsted gained yard.
The time returned was 8 40 seconds so
that Morton Is now joint holder OF the
English record with Duffey.
A few days later. at the games OF the
London A c., Morton performed brilliantly
in the 12O-yard invitation event. He won
the final heat in IL As seconds, which equals
the record made by Bradley, Douner, WEI
ers and Dufey. Duffey did not start IN
the race. This meeting of the London A.
c. was held at Stamford Bridge grounds,
and it was notable as being the last fixture
to be held there.
The grounds will this winter be torn up
for building purposes.

An Italian scientist has lately pade de-

the waters of lakes and rivers, however
thoroughly infected, possess the power of
purifying themselves. great amount OF
bacteria. this authority says, is dragged to
the bottom by the precipitation of solid
matter. but this is not the only purifying
process. In swift currents the velocity OF
the stream is in itself a cleansing agent,
and 1t has been shown that sunlight de-
stroys bacteria in water to depth of three
feet The obvious conclusion is that rapid
ly flowing streams or ponds not more than
three feet deep contain the purest water.
