meeting Eyebrows.

The person whose eyebrows meet
may rest content in the knowledge that
he is the possessor of a vigorous con
stitution. The growth of hair above
the nose is, as rule. fairly sound
proof of good health. That is what the
scientists tell you. but the superstitious
have much more to say.
h the northern part of Aberdeen
shire there is a common belief that a
CLOSE broo't" man, or one whose eye
brows meet. is foredoomed to end a
wicked career on the scaffold. This
may be compared with the view held
in parts Of the English uidlands that
the close browed person is destined for
fame and fortune.
On the continent there are several
superstitions on this subject The eye
brows Of gypsies are often formed in
this way. q fact which they turn to
good account, for in many parts It is
believed that the owner of meeting
eyebrows is also the possessor of what
is called the evil eye and therefore
person whose good will must at all
costs be retained. The gypsies. espe-
cially in Germany and Austria. use
this belief to extract considerable sums
OF money from the credulous peas
ants.-London Chronicle.

e WOOD W|LLPLAY
RICHMOND FRIDAY
The Local Polo Bunch Is En-
thuSiaStiC Over the
Coming Game.
A preliminary MATCH.
kisBEYS AND HIGH SCHOOL WILL
LOCK HORNS BOTH GAMES
WILL DRAW IMMENSE CROWD,
IT'S THOUGHT.

Friday evening, the Richmond polo
team will play the fast Elwood polo
team. AS a curtain raiser to this con-
tset the kibbey and High School polo
teams will lock horns.
ElWood has one of the fastest teams
in the state and those who saw the
game at the coliseum last Friday know
that the local bunch is able to hold
its own in the swiftest company. There
is no reason why the game should not
be intensely interesting.
The result of the game last Friday
between Richmond and Indianapolis.
was the revival of interest in the
great winter sport Richmond is
once again suffering from an acute
case of poloitis and the indications are
that a big crowd will witness the FL
wood contest. The game will be called
promptly at $50 O'Clock. The Kib-
bey-High School game will be called
at 7:30 O'Clock.

SYmpathy leans to Ieus.

There is one appeal to charity that
Is pretty sure to be answered." said q
philanthropist. THAT is request for
an artificial leg. Legs. somehow. are
warmly appreciated by the general
public. and the fellow who has to
scrape along without one is the object
of sincere commiseration. During my
fifteen years experience in philan-
thropic work l have issued appeals to
the people at large on behalf of persons
who wanted various parts Of their
anatomy replaced. Some wanted teeth.
some an eye. others a hook like Cap
tain Cuttle's. Physical deficiencies OF
that kind aroused but little interest,
but just let a man advertise the fact
that he was in need of a leg and
enough money was quickly forthcom-
ing to fit him out with three or four
pairs Of legs."-New York Press.

Man In tho Moon leqend.

There is a quaint tradition about how
the belief in the man in the moon
originated that is worth retelling. Like
so many Of these beliefs. it began way
back in Bible times and in quite an
other dress. By many nations the old
man is supposed to be the one who
first made his appearance in the book
Of Numbers Chapter XIV, verse 32).
Then he was found by the children of
Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath
day. He was taken before Moses and
condemned to death. He was taken
later outside the camp and stoned I'M
til he died. One would think that was
punishment enough even for so awful
a crime. but superstition took him in
hand at that point and consigned him
to the moon. where. with bunch Of
sticks on his tired old back, he was
destined to climb forever up the shin
ing hill and never reach the top. The
story goes that his faithful dog was
permitted to share his fate. and IL you
look carefully when the night Is clear
and dark you will see the pair toiling
away upon their endless climb. The
face of the old man also grew out of
the old time tradition. but the figures
are quite plain if.one puts on the glass

4 Present Plans Materia|ize,
Garfield School Will Be
Moved to the High School
Building Many People Think.
SCHOOL BOARD WILL
SOON ASSUME CONTROL.
View Building to Be Erected on
Property Will Be One of the
Most Modern in Indiana and
Meet All Needs.

The Elizabeth Starr property at the
corner of North Ninth and 3 streets,
will shortly pass under the control IF
the school board $1,000 is the con-
the acquisition of this property. the
most valuable from school point Of
view of any property in the city. AL
ready the school officials are planning
to close the alley which intervenes
between the Garfield school and the
new purchase. This will give the city
a half block of ground, stretching
from North Eighth to North Ninth on
which there can be erected an entirely
new building, or a wing to Garfield.
1t Is not unlikely that a new building
for the high school will be erected here
and the Garfield school moved to the
present high school building.
IL new building is to be erected, it
Is the plan of the board and the SUI
perintendent to make it thoroughly
modern in every particular, in short,
one of the best equipped schools in
the state.
The advocates of this plan under
stand that it may not be such an
easy matter to move Garfield school,
as the North Eighth street location is
by far the most desirable one in the
city, and this fact Is appreciated by
the Garfield people as much as it is I'M
derstood by the advocates of the new
high school.

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.
Story of an Odd Incident In a Dental
Hospital.


A remarkable incident happened re-
Gently at dental hospital. A young
woman went there to have five teeth
extracted. The anaesthetic decided
upon by the dental surgeon was ethyl
chloride, and this was administered by
the usual form of apparatus. An in
dia rubber cap is placed over the pa
tents mouth and nosrrils, and con
nected with it is u bag into which a
sealed capsule of ethyl chloride Is in
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anaesthetic liberated. The
screw was turned, the patient went of
gradually into the usual condition of
insensibility. five teeth were extracted,
and the patient awakened without feel
ing any part of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly
normal Only when the young wo-
man had left the room and the ap-
paratus was being made ready for
the capsule of ethyl chloride had by
some mischance not been broken at all.
The whole condition of insensibility
had been brought about by the self
hypnotism of the patient The idea
that an anaesthetic was being admin
istered was so strong in her mind that
she had passed into insensibility en-
tirely by hypnotic suggestion.-Boston

GEESE IN BERLIN.

Rigid Inspection of tho Fowls Imported
Into the City.
The traffic in geese at Berlin amounts
to nearly 100000 year. AS the do
nestle supply is wholly inadequate, a
special goose train OF from fifteen to
forty cars arrives daily from the Rus
sian frontier. Each car is spel lily
built and carries about 1900 geese.
There is rigid inspection by sanitary
officials Immediately upon the arrival
of the train.
Should it be found that a single
goose has died or been i'll of a conta-
gious disease in transit the entire car
load is quarantined for eight days. If
other goose should die the quarantine
is extended for eight days, at a cost of
about $500 to the owners. The penalty
attaching to the bringing in Of diseased
geese makes the owners extremely
careful to import only sound and
healthy fowls. The geese which are
plump and ready for market are sold
to dealers at the close of the inspec-
ton. The rest. comprising the great
majority, go to feeding farms In the
suburbs of the city to be fattened for
market
There is a special market near the
great market place at which bracken-
namely. geese injured en- route, but
having no disease-are sold at a re-
duced price. Twenty one different va
rieties of the Russian goose are COM
mercially recognized. and the whole
sale price varies from A to so cents a
bird.-Chicago Record Herald.

THE KONGO FOREST.
Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
Is mNS+ar.

Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
Region of Mystery.
The mightiest forest of which the
IS that of the Kongo. 1t is a region
of impenetrable mystery concerning
which accounts have been SO strange
that until the past few years they
have been deemed incredible. But re-
cent discovery has transformed scien-
tifc increduIity into a measure OF be-
lief Thus on the basis of Sir Harry
Johnston's explorations Of Uganda a
giant ape larger than the gorilla IS a
denZen of this tremendous forest re-
gion. There. too, are animals of a
quite unfamiliar kind. notably the
okapi. The forest seems to be the re-
sort Of the five horned giraffe. the
tallest mammal In the world. The
hugest elephants, bearing tremendous
tusks, are there. The largest fish
found in all Africa haunt the streams
meandering through the recesses Of
this forest. Lions seem not to pene-
trate into the thick growth of the jun
gle therea bouts. The forest leopards
are arDOfeal, catcnlnS monkeys Tor
their food.
The curiosity of the mighty forest is
unquestionably the okapi, large and
seemingly new mammal, discovered
by Sir Harry Johnston. In his book s
of travel Stanley told of an animal Of
ass-like appearance existing III the
dense forest which was caught in
pits. The occurrence of ANYTHING like
a quadruped of the equine sort in the
thickness of an impenetrable forest
seemed SO anomalous that no scientist
of standing would credit the possibl-
ity: hence the determination of Sir
Harry Johnston to nvestigate.-Cur-
rent Literature.

ARSENIC EATERS.
Effects of the Drug on the Styrians,
Who Make 1t.

Who Make 1t.
Eating of arsenic is common in
Syria" said Alois E. SteinZierl OK
Vienna, a manufacturer of chemicals
and drugs. The Styrians say that ar
senic makes one plump and comely
and gives one strength for great exer-
lions, such as running or mountain
climbing. Syria, which is in Austria,
gives the world vast quantities of ar
senic The manufacture of this drug
is indeed the main Syrian industry.
They who make arsenic eat it, as a
rule. for they say that only the arsenic
eater can withstand the arsenic fumes
These makers and eaters of the drug
are comely. They have clear color
and look much younger than they are.
The foreman in certain factory
told me that in his boyhood, when he
first came to that plant, he was ad-
vised to begin to eat arsenic lest his
health suffer from the fumes. He did
begin, and his first two or three small
doses gave him sharp pain. like
burn, in the stomach, and this pain
was followed by tremendous hunger
and a violent disagreeable excitement
But as his doses increased in frequen-
cy and size their effect became pleas
ant. There was no longer pain or ex-
element. On the contrary. there were
a ravenous appetite and a mood of joy
Gus activity wherein the youth could
do three mems work.
This chap by the time he got to be
thirty was taking four grains OF ar
senic a day. He looked at thirty, with
his clear pink and white color. no more
than twenty-three. He was as robust
as a blacksmith. But he said he would
die at forty or so, that being the
age at which all the Syrian arsenic
eaters Washington Herald.

Program of Familiar Airs Be-
ing Arranged to Be Rend-
cred at That Time.
CUSTOM LONG FOLLOWED.
THE RINGING OF CHIMES IN THE
LARGER CITIES is MOST EFF
FECTIVE AND 1T is THOUGHT
SAME WILL BE TRUE HERE.

y midnight concert will be given on
the large chimes at Reid Memorial
church on New Years eve, providing
the whistles of the local factories do
not interfere. 1t is said that the
chimes of cathedrals, similar to those
of Reid Memorial church, are most eff
fective when played during the late
hours Of night and in many cities this
is the favOrite time for ringing them
1t is said that this rule is generally
observed in many of the large cities
with wonderful effectiveness, when
old familiar airs are played long after
the business of a great city is hushed
A pleasing program of airs is being
arranged to be played as the new year
is ushered in.
