TAKES ROMANCE FROM TEARS.
Weapon of the Heroine cooIly Ana.
 iyxed by French Chemist.

One does not care to have one's tears analysed like patent food or medicine, and to associate them with chemical substances, but we are noth- ing if not practical nowadays. and every shred of romance, poetry and sentiment is remorselessly wrenched from us for scientific purposes.
 A French journal devoted to mat ters of this kind has been telling us not only of what tears are composed but exactly the effect that is produced on brain and body when we shed them.
 So henceforth when We read that the heroine's beautiful eyes were sui. fused with tears" that fin a moment she was weeping passionately on his shoulder" we shall know that by kind of shower-bath arrangement mixture of albuminoid, water and chemical substances was let loose at .he back of her skull, thus dulling the nerve centers, and really giving her re- lief
 However, 1t does not sound roman tic, and mere man is likely to imagine that the fair one is really suffering doubly when all this happens.-G woman.

How ths Cow HeIped Australia.

Corn is king in America and the COW is queen in Australia" remarked R. J. Guthrie, agricultural editor of the Sydney Mail. "The COW has redeemed the country, and hundreds of farmers who lost nearly all they had by the drought of 1902 are now better off than they ever were, and it Is all due to the COW. Australian butter ranks we'll up with the best butter in the world.
 "Our butter making is all done by the cooperative creamery system. It has been years since the farmer made butter on the farm. We have little use for a dual purpose COW in Aus tralia. That is, the dairy farmer wants COW that will give milk ten months in the year, and he uses it for no other purpose, while those who raise cattle for beef have no thought of milk production"

EVERYTHING Is FIXED
AGREEMENT REACHED WITH EN GLAND REGARDING THE NEW
 FoUNDLAND FISHERIES.
ALL FRICTION HEREAFTER ID BE AVOIDED
The Entire Dispute, Which Is of Long Standing, Will Be Settled by The Hague Tribunal-Some Papers Not Satisfied-Trouble Started Prior to 181s.-NewfoundIand Consents.

London, Aug. 15.-The foreign of lice in announcing Thursday night the conclusion of modus vivendi re- garding the New Foundland fisheries. says:
 Ills majesty's government and the government of the United States unite in regarding the exchange of notes recording this proposal and it's acceptance as constituting in itself a satisfactory agreement for the season or 1908, without the necessity of a more formal agreement"
 The conclusion of modus viyendi between Great Britain and the United States governing the New Foundland fisheries and the rights of American fishermen means that friction in New Foundland waters will be avoided un- til a settlement of the entire position which is of long standing is had be fore the Hague tribunal. The dispute arises from the contention of the Americans that they have the same tshing rights in New Foundland waters prohibited by British subjects. passing their claim on the fisheries treaty of 1918. The Americans also claim the same rights as to Canadian waters.
 The Morning Post, in an editorial Friday, strongly attacks the govern ment for consenting to a modus vi. vepdi with tho ITp;tad cta+oc ,.or..a ing the New Foundland fisheries and reproaches Sir Edward Grey, the for eign secretary, for yielding to Ameri- can pressure"
 Continuing, the editorial says that while the modus vivendi is concluded for the third time arbitration is still pending and will continue to be pend ing until the Americans have quite matured their plans for securing favorable verdict on an issue not of fact, but of reasonableness. English men may we'll reflect whether relief from the burden of ornaments or from the worrying problem of imperial partnership may not be bought at too costly a sacrifice of moral ideals.
 The Times in an editorial comment ing on the fact that the modus vivendi was concluded with New Foundlands consent and approval, says:
 Happily renewal of the unfortu- nate conflict between the imperial government and the colony has been avoided even in appearance. The present government has not always shown tact in dealing with the af fairs of the self-governing colonies. but in this instance 6appears to have acted with dignity ard in a concilia- tory spirit and has now reaped the reward of Its patience"

ADVICE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE.
Exercise by Which System Is Re
 freshed and lnvigorated.

For relaxing tense nerves there is nothing like a tonic bath and this spe- cial relaxing exercise.
 The bath is quite simple--nothing but alternate sprays of hot and cold water, given for from five to ten min utes. This is possible for any one who can afford a rubber hose with a spray attachment, which fastens on tc the nozzle of the hot and cold spigot- It usually costs about $1.
 Follow the bath with this exercise, which stimulates the nerves without the expenditure of nerve force:
 Stand with the weight of the body on the left foot, the right fixed lightly on the floor little in advance of it. Raise slowly the right arm to the level of the shoulder. then move arm in circle from right to left and reverse.
 The left arm is then treated in the same manner. with the weight of body on right foot.
 By exercise of this kind the ner- vous system is refreshed and invigor- at. It is important in doing the move ments to relax so thoroughly that one forgets she has any muscles. In other words, the movement is to be quite in- voluntary.

Character Moids the Face.

It Is not in words applicable with what divine lines and lights the exer else of godliness and charity will mold and gild the hardest and coldest coun- tenance, neither to what darkness their departure will consign the love Hest. For there is not any virtue the exercise of which, even momentarily, will not impress new fairness upon the features; neither on them only, but on the whole body the moral and intellectual faculties have operation. for all the movements and gestures, however slight. are different in their modes according to the mind that gov srns them-and on the gentleness and decision of right feeling follows grace of actions, and, through continuance of this, grace of form.-John Ruskin.

Francois Coppee, the French author like many artists and actors, was ex- ceedingly fond of cats, and for years he had in his house in Paris and in the beautiful rose garden back of the house a number of fine specimens, in- cluding several valuable natives of Persia. When Coppee died. to be fol lowed soon by his devoted sister, who was his nurse, the Paris Animal Pro tective society felt called upon to look for the cats, which were supposed to have been left in the deserted Coppee home to starve Investigation showed, however. that the master had antci- pated the end He had given all his pets to friends.

Caused Him to Utter Cry and Step
 Quickly Backward.

vaughton had long ago got over the singing in his ears and the sickness that is first incurred by divers, and he was steady as rock when he was lowered cautiously on his rope. Look ing down he saw the deck of the Wis itor looming up beneath him. Already it was covered with weeds and green slime As his feet touched the boards he gave the signal to stop lowering and, slowly and cautiously, made his way to the forward hatchway, taking care 10 lay his rope and supply-pipe in such a fashion that they might not become entangled in the stray wreck age, of which there was a great quan- tity.
 His inspection of the forward part of the ship showed him that 1t was in no condition to be raised. The bow had been shattered by the contact with the reef, and the grinding had worn away the entire plankings of the forward decks. He returned slowly to the stern of the vessel and climbed over the remains of the rail down to the sandy bottom. Then he walked along the stern of the ship, keeping a sharp lookout for any damage done in that direction.
 As he did so he beheld sight that, cool veteran as he was, caused him to utter cry and to step quickly backwards. Staring at him through the porthole, his face livid and sunken, his eyes bloodshot, but gleaming with excitement. his hair matted over his forehead and his lips moving in what must have been outeries or entreat- les. was living. breathing man vaughton, at first. thought that his senses had left him, and he turned away to see if the apparition would around.

AT THE BOTTOM
 OF THE SEA By GORDON ARTHERToN
(Copyright, by shortstory Puh. Col

In June, 1892. the United States steamship Visitor sank on reef off the southern coast of Florida with all on board. Half of the passengers were saved by efforts directed from land, and the bodies of half the remainder were found. But one-fourth of the people of the Visitor lay. undiscov- cred and unburied. in the waters of the gulf
 few days later divers were sent down with a view of raising the steam ship If she were found to be in good enough condition. Among these divers was one Joel Vaughton, hardy, worn veteran with the scars of the civil war on his body and the signs of toll and hardship on his rough, honest face Vaughton was 45--possibly a bit over He did not know, but he remembered enlisting in 63 as Is years of age. He had not brilliantly distinguished him self in the war-as so many luckier ones had done-but he had fought hard and well. No opportunities had been given him of leading a desperate charge or of capturing an enemy's flag. He had been twice wounded at Bull Run and at Gettysburg. The surgeons had decided the last time that he was to die, and they had given him up. But he had determined to live, and live he did. He was dis charged from the hospital just in time to join Sherman in his march to the sea. After the war he drifted around doing nothing. and yet doing every thing. There was no occupation that he did not try his hand at, and there was none that he tried longer than a week. Finally he drifted south, and in 'S2 started farming on a small scale This evidently proved the exception to the rule, and he stuck to 1t for seven years, making modest income there by. But 1t was too monotonous for him. He lacked the excitement which hitherto had never failed him, and in 'S9 he discovered the work that suited him. He became a diver. He was well fitted for it physically with his sound heart and his good lungs, and he made a success of it almost imme- diately.
 Three days after the Visitor had sunk Joel Vaughton and one of his comrades were fitted into their suits and lowered down to the wreck
