White Mule Hoodoo.

The only large fires that have ever
visited Knoxville have all occurred in
the ill-fated block between Commerce
and Wall. This has led many people
to say that the block is "hoodooed,
though no one could give any reason
why this should be so, but at last the
mystery has been unrayeled. 1t seems,
according to an old citizen, that twen-
ty-five or thirty years ago when the
ground wherein Knoxville's sky-scra-
pers now stand was the village COM
mon: all the circuses that came to
town used it as their camping spot.
On one of these gala occasions a
mule belonging to the show died there.
Now, as every one knows, the place
where a white mule dies is ever after
noted for the misfortunes that happen
on that spot, so it is really wonderful
that so few casualties have resulted.
Evidently the thing to do is to get
some really scientific "hoodoo man" or
''conjure doctor" to exercise the spell
Persons owning the property need
then have no fear of rebuilding
Knoxville Sentinel.

For Better Things.

What is it, after all, that we can
venture to claim for this old world of
ours, at most?" asks Henry van Dyke,
discussing in Everybodys Magazine
the question, is the World Growing
Better?' Certainly not that it. is al
together good, nor even that 1t is as
good as it might be and therefore
ought to be. Police stations and pris.
ons and wars confess that some things
are wrong and need correction. The
largest claim that a cheerful man Sho
is also a thoughtful mana chilS of
hope with his eyes open-dares to
make for the world is that it is better
than 1t used to be, and that it has a
fair prospect of further improvement.
This is meliorism, the philosophy OF
actual and possible betterment; not
high-stepping. trumpet-blowing, self
fiattering creed, Immediately available
for advertising purposes; but a modest
and sober faith, useful for consolation
in those hours of dependency and
personal disappointment when the
grasshopper and the critic both be-
come a burden. and for encouragemez&
to more earnest effort in those hoarr
of cheer when the Christmas spirit
fills us with good win to our fellow
men"

Wool Clip Contracted.

Dealers in wool seem to have no
fears of decline of wool prices for
another year at least. In various
western states dealers have already
been closing contracts for next years
wool clip at from seventeen to twenty
cents per pound and seem willing to
take all they can get at those figures.
While many farmers have sold their
next years crop on such terms as
these some are willing to wait until
spring to dispose of their clip, taking
the chances on the price going down.
They don't consider there is much risk
to run when buyers are so anxious to
contract so far ahead. and prefer to
take chances rather than to sell now
and likely to regret making the agree
ment before shearing time
The farmer who breeds and raises
good sheep may be pretty sure OF
reaping some good profits from both
his wool and mutton during the next
few years. The sheep business GER
tainly has bright outlook at the pres

WORK OF THE SENSES
USE is TO SEND MESSAGES TO
THE BRAIN.
Taking Sense Of Smell as an Example,
Dr. Andrew Wilson Explains the
Operation Gone Through--6rain
centers Are the Responsible Agents.

Few Of us realize that our senses
form the means or media whereby we
are brought in contact with the world
In which we live and conversely
whereby that outer universe is en-
abled to act upon u.s." writes DR.. An
drew Wilson. Take as an example
the sense of smell From the brain
arise the olfactory nerves. The hbers
OF these nerves descend into the nose
and when they are carefully examined
we find their special endings in what
the Psychologist calls olfactory cells.
Each minute fiber essentially termi-
mates in microscopic cell, which may
be presumed to represent the receiver
OF the messages the outer world pre-
sents in the shape of odoriferous par
ticles. The cells transmit their i'm
pressions' through their nerves to the
smell center of the brain. which, as
far as we know, is situated close by
the ear region. Thence the informa-
tion conveyed, sifted out and modified
by the cells of the brain center, will
reach the ultimate court of appeal in
some higher brain-area and will then
give rise to the consciousness of odor.
Shorn Of technical details, the forego-
ing ideas represent what must occur
in the operations of all our senses.
If the brain returns a message, re-
wives a memory, as 1t were, and pro-
Jects it outward and backward on to
sense organ, we then experience
those disturbances of sense to which
we give the name of illusions.
IF, for example, a person sustains
some brain injury affecting the smell
center OF the brain, he may be liable
to exhibit such disturbance of sense.
Cases are known in which after such
an accident the patient has COM
planned Of the sensation of a disagree
able odor 1t may be possible that
such a false sensation may not pass
out from the brain at all, hut may be
located entirely within its gates. 1t is
much more likely, however, that a
real irritation of the smell nerve ends
occurs, just as we can only suppose
that if man fancies he sees a figure
that has no real existence the eye
itself must participate in the produc-
tion Of the apparition.
Practically the vagaries of our
senses may be held to originate in
the brain centers. They are the re
sponsible agents and the nerves of
sense and their Examinations in our
sense organs are simply the under Of
fcials receiving the messages but ex-
ercising little control beyond that
which is concerned in their transmits
sion. They are the telegraph clerks
Of the system which have no concern
with the messages they dispatch.
They merely transmit and transcribe
them"

Where its wings find no resting place

That jewel bright and rare:

And pure as angels are.
And may love thee. o my friend,

True love is patient. without end,
Strong as eternity.
Sweet longings from thy soul and mine
Around our hearts their tendrils twine
And bind me close to thee.
But there's a love above all height
And deeper than the sea-
AS glorious as the morning light
AS boundless. and as free
'Tis Gods almighty love. that wings
My spirit far from earthly things
And shows his heart to me.

From day to day he works alway
Upon his search alone.
And through the years and years he

Thus constant to his ancient quest;
And men pass by and smile and say;
He seeks the Alkahest"
The secret is a secret still,
Though age has turned his hair TO gray.
But age turns not the constant will
That urged him yesterday.
And still the secret, like the fires
That DER the meadow marshes run.
Doth lead him famished with desires
Forever on and oni

it will be delivered to the housewife
in insulated containers ready to at
