IL n;.. az a Painter.

Only painters looked long at the pic
ture which Eugene Carriere exhibited
at the salon Of 1877, and for dozen
years afterward, while his portraits
and his studies of children and women
steadily gained in distinctive charac-
ter, they puzzled and repelled the I'M
wary, says Henry Copley Greene IN
the Century. Their merging varied
colors in a single tone, their dissolyinS
of sharp contours in smoke hued mist
suggested either insincerity or myopic
vision. Yet little by little Carriere I'M
pressed first few artists and critics
then part of the public, then even
the ministry of fine arts. In 1883 nc
was decorated, and in the next year,
when his paintings were seen at the
then new Salon du Champ de Mars
isolated in single group, Carriere be-
gan to be more widely understood. dis
fervid sincerity reverberating, as 1t
were, from picture to picture destroy
ed all suspicion Of pose, and as his
technic grew familiar the sculptur-
esque solidity of bis heads and figures
appeared through that mist in proof OF
his genius of eye and hand.

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is story OF
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment. How can the
dead eat and drink 2" he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the de-
fusion must soon become actuality-he
would die of starvation. The strangest
ruse was tried. Half a dozen attend
ants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently in single file into the room adj
joining his and with the door open sat
down where he could see them to
hearty meal. Here, who are these
peopleT inquired the patient. dead
men," answered the doctor "What!'
said the other. "Do dead men eat|
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
yourself" was the answer. "Well,"
said the corpse, 'if that Is SO, I'll join
them, for I'm starving" The spell was
broken, and he sat down and ate like
forty famished men. r, >

Tho Destructiveness of Worry.

As force, worry is purely negative
and therefore destructive; 1t never In
cites; 1t always discourages, because
back Of it is fear-fear, not Of some
thing In view, but Of the terrifying I'M
seen. 1t is the nightmare Of day,
cruelty absorptive Of mental and phys
ical energies and of all diseal,es the
most nerve decorating. Such force
obviously cannot help, but must nee
essarily hinder, the removal Of OBJ
stacles since itself has already Slapped
the very qualities essential to success
and broken the power Of resolution.
Moreover, constant brooding often
brings to pass the very thing dreaded,
which otherwise would not have hap.

The Herrinqe' Heads.

Miracles are not only Of religion.
Perhaps readers may have forgotten
the strange adventure Of the great
Johann Sebastian Bach. The story
was told by Bach himself and is there
fore, we may be assured, substantial
ly true. Bach was very young man
at the time. His chief object then was
to hear q great organist Of Hamburg
named Reinken. He was very poor,
and on one Of these Journeys, return
ing home, he found himself destitute
and yet far from Luneburg. So he sat
down on q bench outside an inn and
tried to dine on the smell of the cook
Ing. Suddenly window was thrown
open above and couple Of behring's
heads fell at his feet. He picked them
up and discovered In each piece OF
money! He could not find out who
his benefactor had been. But the made
a good use Of the gift, for he immedi-
ately tramped back to Luneburg to
hear Reinken once more. However 1t
happened, it was a miracle. But Bach
was dwelling in the regions Of the
miracle.-London Academy.

Rohn Winfia.

The Journal Of the Meteorological
society Of Japan contains an account
by DIR. okada of the occurrence in Ko-
rea Of those remarkable winds which
have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origi-
nally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snowclad mountains OF
Switzerland and producing extensive
MEETINGS of the snow. They have.
hence been called "snow eaters" The
fohn is essentially phenomenon OF
mountainous regions, and Wonsan, In
Korea, where they have been observed,
is surrounded except on the east by
high mountains. In this region they
are always westerly and cause abnor-
mally high temperatures and dryness
of the air. A similar wind In North
America blowing down from the
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also In the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes ID
midwinter they produce a remarkable
climatic paradox. AS a result OF the
elevation of temperature caused by
them it may happen that northern
Greenland, though in winter darkness,
Is warmer than southern France.

Don't Stoop When You Read.

The habit Of STOPPING over when
reading or writing has a bad effect on
most eyes and should be avoided, es-
pecially If one is nearsighted. Whea
people approach the age Of forty the
morning paper Is apt to appear blur
red, and they complain the printing -
getting bad. The trouble is they need
glasses. If they do not get them, later
on their eyes will deteriorate so rap
idly they will be obliged to wear them

person puts on glasses when the first
warning of "tired eyes" is received
he will never be obliged to wear. them

fine work.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

To cure nose bleeding, tie a string
very tightly around the small part OF
the thumb below the knuckle.
Half a teaspoonful Of table salt dis
solved in a half glassful Of cold water
will give instant relief in case Of heart
burn.
People with poor digestion should
drink no water with meals. but take a
glassful half an hour before and drink
plentifully an hour or so after each
meal.
To inhale steam from bowl of boil
ing water is very good for sore
throat. The sufferer should lean over
the steam, drawing 1t in both throat
and nostrils.
Many cases of indigestion, headache,
neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be
quickly cured by drinking slowly one
or two pints Of water so hot that 1t
almost burns the throat.
Warts may be entirely removed by
washing the hands two or three times
a day with the water In which pota-
toes have been boiled or by bathing
the wart several times with potato
water,

ANCIENT ATHENS.
Banquetins In the Greoian City In the
Time of Plato,


Banquetins In the Greeian City In the
Time Of Plato.
In Professor T. G.. fuckers Life In
ancient Athens" the author gives this
as a picture Of typical banquet in
that city In the time of Plato: when
all are In place the servants come
round with vessel, from which they
pour water over the hands of the
guests. There are brought in small
tables, light and ornamental, one Of
which is set down before each couch
Tor two persons, and on these are
placed the several dishes as they come
In order. The tables are lower than
the touches, so that the right hand
can reach down easily to them. Knives
and forks there are none. The food is
taken up with the fingers. 1t Is true
that in dealing with very soft foods
or gravies or In extracting things
from shells spoons were not unknown,
but usually the fingers were assisted
by pieces of bread followed out for
the purpose. 1t Is clear that there was
plenty Of room for neatness and daintl-
ness in handling food, and it was no
small advantage to have fingers not
too sensitive
"There were no napkins. Portions
of soft bread, often especially prepared
for the purpose, were used for wiping
the fingers and were afterward thrown
to the dogs which might be present to
catch them; but, apart from the dogs,
it may be something Of a shock to
learn that the floor, which was, OF
course, without carpet, was the re-
ceptacle for shells, bones. Feelings and
other fragments, which were, however,
swept out at given stage of the
proceedings. Conversation meanwhile
must be general. The first half Of din

iarly fish and birds, eels Qf they could

as beef, lamb and pork and vegetables

drinking as separate as possible from
their eating. Water is then brought

Men Who Helm Thieves.

The "rechristener' is the profession
al name of the man who alters the
names and numbers on stolen watches.
The rechristener is usually a clever
engrayer who through drink or other
wise has lost the chance Of obtaining
honest employment and aids the re-
ceiver Of stolen property. When
watch has been stolen the number or
name or other indication Of make or
ownership may be forwarded to the
police and by them communicated 10
pawnbrokers. There is consequently
an element of risk in attempting to
dispose Of 1t. There are various ways
of getting over the difficulty, and re-
christening is one that is frequently
resorted to. The engraver adds or pre-.
fixes another figure to the number or
he turns the name ~. Robins" into
or. J. Robinson" the extra initial
serving to make the name look level
and central on the watch case. This Is
done very cleverly, and the rest OF the
letters or figures are touched up to
make all appear to have been cut at
the same time.-LondOn Standard.

Why Is the Ocean SaIt7

The Creator made the ocean salt to
save the land from putrefaction. The
winds blow everything offensive and
pestilential Gas far as we allow them
to do the work of boards of health
out to sea, where all humors are abb
sorbed by the hungry waters. Salt Is
purifying agent. The ocean is a
great manufacturer. 1t converts every
thing foul into health making ozone
and hands it back to us without
charge. No government label Is nee
essary. Stand on the PROV Of ship
for three hours a day, deep breathing
like an athlete, and your lungs will be
cleaned of everything poisonous. Your
blood will leap through veins and arte-
ries. Your heart will be obliged to
thump with renewed force. The tide
is the oceans tongue. 1t comes in
twice a day to lick up the foul things
of the earth and convey them to the
oceans stomach, where they are df
gested, sailed down, cured and render
ed pure again.--Marine Journal.

ADAMS FIRST WIFE.
The Eiendlike LiIith Was a Complete
Matrimonial Failure.

The Eiendlke Lilith Was a Complete
Matrimonial Failure.
Whether Lilith was one Of the fe-
male creations of chapter or demon
OF something between the two, she
was, considered matrimonially, a COM
plete failure. She was expelled after
living with Adam for 40 years and
subsequently became the Wife OF Sa-
tan. by whom she was the mother OF
the Jinns, so familiar in Persian fairy
lore.
The emphatic remark Of Adam when
he first saw Eve, "This Is now bone Of
my bones and flesh of my flesh"
makes, it is suggested, comparison
between Eve and the beautiful but
fiendlike Lilith not complimentary to
the latter, while the reference on the
birth Of. Seth to him as Adams son

conveys a painful hint of the uncanny
offspring born to Adam and Lilith.
