Beautiful Eyes.

The almost universal habit OF turn
ing the head in whichever direction
you look deprives the eye of the cxer-
else to which it is entitled. The law
of vision is such that, when your eyes
are set straight TO the front you can
see in almost every direction, except
behind your head. Every now and
then you see a woman with eyes that
seem to roll in their sockets, taking
in everything without a suggestion OF
head movement. Those are the eyes
that drive men to distraction. Ok
eyes. Honest eyes. Usually brown
eyes. Open eyes. Altogether different
from the small. ferret eyes Of the de-
tective. which pretend to be looking
at the ground. yet see sidewise out Of
both slits.

Duration Of Animal Life.

A great variance as to length Of life
appears among different animals.
Some insects live only for few hours,
while fish, elephants and turtles are
frequently centenarians. The average
life Of the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the age OF about
Is years. while carp have been known
to reach a hundred and fifty. Chickens
live from 12 to 15 years: dogs to the
age of 10 and occasionally Is, and par
rots to extreme age. These birds have
been known to pass the age Of 200
years. Turtles are also frequently cen
tenarians, as are storks, and elephants
are said to reach the age Of 800 years.

less thrifty weekly newspaper. One
Of my features was country cores
pondence. and prided myself on the
accuracy Of my rural aids. In one
issue, from the best point on my
list, I received a notice reading AZ
follows: Mr.. John Grady. having pur.
chased a plot of ground in Mach.

into real estate body and soul. John
was always an enthusiast The item
looked all right to me. and sounded
quite enterprising, thought: but a

almost took my breath away. In II
was duly informed that Mr.. Grady
was dead and buried in the Machpelah
cemetery. where he had purchased a
plot some three months previously.
In conclusion, l may say that my cor

risen to prominence as a humorist,

THINKING ALOUD.

a Ruse Which Reused Lo.e Oec.ey
and Formed Friendship.
One Of the earls Of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself in ! very awk-
ward predicaMent on q certain occa-
sion. He was to spend the evening at
the house of q friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had i long drive
back TO his own home
When the hou: arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy
ed by the delay. one OF the guests.
whose way honcward lay past his
lordShip's house. politely offered him 4
seat in lis carriage. The gentleman
was almost :: stranger TO Lord Dud-
lev, but the offer WAS accepted.
The drive did not prove very socia-
bic one. Lord Dudley took his scat
and Immediately relapscd into silence,
his thoughts apparently eagrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in 4 low but distinctly
audible tone Of voice, and his compan
ion. to his establishment, heard him
say:
'T'n, very sorry accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. 1t was civil
certain!c. but the worst is I suppose
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit Of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice Of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently this stranger was atdict-
cd with the sane nalady from which
his lordshlp suffered, for he exactly
initiated Lord Dudley's tore rs he
said:
Perhaps he'll think did il to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for I shan't accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his Involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved maganimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.
