point is not SO certain as the other.
The compact was made without the
knowledge even of Baron Komura
and Mr.. Witte.
The car and the emperor of
Japan bound themselves solemnly to
secrecy about the treaty Cable
dispatches state that when Mr.. Mar
tens took the steamer from New
York last week he admitted that a
secret treaty is in existence.
Martens, one of the most astute
of diplomats, never would have
dared to make the acknowledgement
without his sovereign's permission.
1t is more than likely that Martens
was ordered to drop the hint about
the treaty and thus, as will be seen
to relieve the emperor of Japan
from most embarrassing position
at home. Indeed, it is not improb-
able that Martens was ordered to
sail from America to make an oppor-
tunity to speak.

Day Dreaming.

It Is much easier to fancy what we
should like to have, what position we
should like to fill and how we should
act If different circumstances sur
rounded us than it is to put forth the
efforts and self denial necessary to
make such attainments. A proportion
Of life Is consumed In this manner.
This habit is justly called day dream
ing, for as in sleep the brain, deprived
of the power Of will to direct 1t,
weaves cobwebs that the first breath
of consciousness dispels, so in this list
less condition the mind, uncontrolled
and unguided. brings forth specious
fallacies that reason, when fully
aroused, will utterly dlssipate. These
day dreams are sometimes defended
on the ground that If useless they are
ut least harmless; that If they confer
no benefit they inflict no injury. This,
however, cannot be theSase. Nothing
occupies so neutral a position. Use
lessness is of itself an Injury, but be-
sides this habit of idle reverle pro
duces positive evils. Valuable time is
wasted, energy is frittered away, the
mind is enfeebled, the activities are
discouraged, the present active life IL
rendered tame and insipid.

Jumping to the ground from height,
jumping from the ground over a height
and long jumping may be either harm
less or highly injurious, according to
the way In which one alights. The
human brain cannot stand jars. When

the injury may not be felt for years.
Headache, glddiness, sleeplessness,
neuralgia and a whole host Of other de-
partures from health may be set up
by Earring the brain. In jumping the
great danger Is not to the legs. The
part chiefly risked is the head. When
the feet touch the ground the shock
passes up the limbs and spinal column,
the parts above serving as buffers and
SO preventing the parts below being
thrown too greatly in the upward d.
rection. But the head has nothing
above it; hence the shock may dislo-
cate the neck or fracture the skull One
should always alight on the toes and
with the legs slightly bent. This posi-
tion greatly helps to prevent Earring.

The home of the mustache il In
Spain, and here Is the history Of its
origin: After the Moors first invaded
the country the Christian and Moslem
population became SO mixed that II
was difficult to say which were Moors
and which Spaniards. The Spaniards
then hit upon means by which they
could at once distinguish their breth-
rem. They did not shave their lips any
longer and they allowed tuft of hair
to grow below their under lips. so that
their boards formed the rude outline
Of a cross. Thus tie mustache became
a symbol of liberty and fraternity.

After telling Of the gradual drying
up Of the great lakes and rivers all
over the world in an article In Cham
bers' Journal, J. T. Whitby continues:
Everywhere In our own country, as
In others, water springs are giving out
and water beds drying up, slowly per-
haps, but surely. The Increase Of pop
ulation and the modern system Of
drainage have of course a great deal
to answer for, but much Of the drought
Is undoubtedly caused by the rapid
destruction OF timber on all sides, for
trees not only attract rain clouds, but
preserve the moisture of the soil. While
II Is impossible for puny man to con-
troll the geological period through
which we are passing and whose char
acteristics would be, according to
some, the gradual disappearance Of
water, it may be inquired whether 1t
would not be advisable to postpone
that disagreeable moment of a world
without water as far as possible by the
better preservation of our woods and
forests and the persistent replanting
OF trees"

1t is known perfectly well at the

secret treaty hrs been made between
the Gar OF Russia and the Emperor

The kaiser advised the car to
to make the secret treaty when they
met on their yachts Hohenzollen and

Raw white Potato For Infiamed Eye.
The writer wishes to testify, from
his own experience, to the efficacy OF
the raw white potato when used for ir-
ritated and infiamed eyes. 1t is used
as follows, but care must be exercised
not to let the juice of the potato come
into contact with any cloth or clothing,
which 1t will ruin by turning black.
The potato to be used should be pared
and then scraped with spoon into
small fragments and little water
added. This should be laid upon a
cloth which has been placed over the
eyes, and then the patient should open
and close his eyes as much as possible
so as to allow the liquid to have Its
effect directly upon the eyeball. The
patient will find great relief In this
effective but inexpensive treatment. or
course the patient must be and re-
main In a reclining position. STANLEY

to stop all sales of liquor in north

holds that the lands in question are
still Indian country" subject to the
terms Of the treaties under which
they were acquired from the Indians.
There were three distinct treaties
covering different sections, but in
each treaty the condition was made
that the sale of liquor should be
prohibited in the territory ceded
until otherwise provided by con-
gress or ordered by the president of
the United States" Congress has
never ordered otherwise, 80 it seems
to be up to President Roosevelt, If
he desires to follow up the oppor-

Moody's decision, he can decree that
Minneapolis, Duluth and all north
ern Minnesota shall be "dry." In
fact, unless he orders otherwise, fed.
eral officials can proceed to close the
