Tears of Blood.

The belief that certain individuals
are able to weep tears of blood is Of
such antiquity that the German equiv
alent for "bitter tears is "blutige
Thranen," bloody tears" There
seems however, nc authentic instance
Of blood being actually secreted by
the lachrymal gland.
Micas has published a very inter-
esting article on real and false tears
Of blood. It is a clinical study on
conjunctive hemorrhage. Some years
ago the author vas consulted about
a boy aged twelve years, who from
the slightest cause, such as laughter,
or sometimes apparently for no cause
whatever, wept tears of blood-an
occurrence often repeated several
times a day. The lad was pale and
e%nervated from constant hemorrhage.
The source of the bleeding was the
tarsal conjunctiva, which was COW
cred with fine paplilae, and light
cauterization with the galvano-caut-
cry resulted in a cure.
This case led the author to study
the literature of the subject. He
found that in none of the cases cited
is it certain that the blood did not
come from the conjunctiva or from
the lachrymal passages. He feels
that it is unwise to deny the posi-
bility of a sanguineous secretion from
the gland, but that examples in which
other sources cannot be shown to be
present must be exceedingly rare.

TECHNIQUE.

I take I little bunch of words and set 'em
n a row,
I take o little bit of ink and mark 'em
down just 50;
7 take a little time and pains ard then
have a verse
That starts about as this one does or may
be slightly worse.
And then I go back to the start and criss
and cross and scratch,
l vaeclnate my words until l ind me some
that match
The pretty thoughts that dart about like
silver fish and shine,
But need a patient, watchful hook to get
'em on the line.
My thoughts melt into words sometimes
not always-now and then,
And l can feel 'em coming down my arm
and through my, pen, /,
l only have to push it DER the paper and
it spells
For you and all my other chums the things
my fancy tells;
Just like a boy with building blocks, I
move my words about
When I have something in my mind and
try to work It out,
Until in orderly array l get 'em IN a row
Just as I think they ought to be and write
'em down just so.
And so just with some words I paint the
pictures that l think
The boys and girls who live in me and set
EN- down in ink,
And sometimes there's a tear in it, and
sometimes there's a smile,
And there is many a grassy bank and
many a vine-grown stile;
And many a lane that you would know if
you could be with me,
To look right where my pen is now and I
could help you see;
I merely take a lot of words and place 'em
in a row,
And build such pretty things if T can get
'em down just So!

Near Delicactes.

The mother Of a delicate Lanca-
shire girl, who seemed to be suffer
ing from loss of appetite and general
debility, called in a physician, who,
to tempt the patient to eat, pre-
scribed-so a writer in Good Health
states-a few oysters and a little
champagne.
"Where do you suppose I'll get
money to pay for Injuries like oysters
and champagne?" demanded the
mother.
The doctor shrugged his h%oulders,
knowing that many Of the Lanca-
shire miners earn good wages, and
often spend a fair amount of them.
"In an extreme case like this" he
suggested, at would not be extrav-
agance."
Some days later he met the mother,
and made inquiries for the girl. II
hope she is BETTER" said he.
"Well, she isn't" replied the
mother. "She's lots worse"
"Worse?" repeated the doctor, in
surprise. "I thought she would be-
gin to pick up. Did you give her
what I prescribed"
"Well, not exactly" said the
mother, "but I give 'er the nearest
the likes of US could afford. I give
'er cookies and ginger beer"

The Last Chance.

Dorando Pietri, defending at an
Italian banquet his canny course in
wearing a cigarette advertisement in
the race with Hayes, told an appe-
site story of an Italian grave dig
ger.
II must accumulate all I can while
[ am here" said he, ''for over there
in Italy money is scarce. 1t is with
me, in fact, as it vas with the grave
digger.
This grave digger, after digging
/ certain grave, put in a bill that was
axorbitant. When complaint of the
o~vercharge was made to him, 3e

ive years ago over a cart 1 sold him,

what he owed. So, seeing this was

| the clothesline with a firm crop about
the boy, the door was opened and out
he darted.
The instant he emerged he seemed
to be wrapped in a ~suffocating blan-
ket and pierced by innumerable bits
of glass. The time spent in reaching
the woodpile occupied only a few Sec
onds, but he almost fell before reach
ing it.
He seized a cord stick and half ran
and vas half hauled into the house.
He was speeches. from even, that
short exposure, and for a few seconds
fairly numb. His uncle looked at
him.

said. Its as much as Mart or I
want to do to tackle that blizzard"
And with the rising Of the wind
and the plunging Of the drifts it
seemed to the boys imagination that
the storm was besieging the house.
The thin and fragile window glasses
were REINFORCED with wood, there
being no shutters, and snow fine as
the finest sand crawled in at every
crevice and was sifted down like pow
der on the beds above. The grand
mothers bed was brought down from
up stairs and placed close to the
stove. John distinguished himself by
finding an old cross-cut saw in that
corner of up stairs called the garnet,
and the men sharpened 1t up and al
lowed him to help saw the sticks
they brought in.
Outside the wind raved and tore at
the cottonwoods and walnut trees,
breaking off branches and moaning
away in the distance. The winds
piled up the snow against the house
until the mel were sheeted with it
when they rushed back from the
woodpile.
Three days and nights the carnival
of an icy ghost dance kept up, and
three nights they had but ftful
snatches of sleep in the intervals be-
tween the hurried races to the wood
pile.
At last the strength of the storm
was spent, and Wednesday it cleared,
bitter cold. The men and the boy
hurried to the stable. The stock
were all alive, but weak. They had
eaten the feed left in their boxes and
managers, and then broken their hall
tiers and got at some Of the "slue
grass" which formed the roof Of the
stable. The snow had so completely
covered the low structure in many
places that they had not suffered IN
usually from the cold. ~.
Every chicken and turkey on the
place had frozen, but the hogs had
burrowed into a strawstack in their
pen, and were %squealing vociferously
for feed.
Away to the river bottom the trees
rose dark as scaffolds, and a great
white sea stretched in all directions
as far as the eye could reach. The
air was still, but nipped sharply at
the boys bare cheeks. It was his
first blizzard.
To the northwest he saw the Sat-
terlee windbreak, and wondered how
it weathered the storm. And as a
solitary hawk, strong Of wing and
gray as the drifts beneath him, swung
high over the prairies, he turned to
the house.-Youth's Companion.

Permanence Of Iron Gall Inks.

Various iron gall inks which, when
freshly made, had been analysed by
the Prussian government testing tu-
reau and had been ranked in the first
class, we're allowed to stand three
years and again examined. 1t was
found that the quantity of iron in So
luton remained unchanged, but that
the tannic and gallo acids we're
greatly diminished, in some cases by
more than one-half, so that many Of
the inks no longer satisfied the con-
iitions established for inks Of the
first class. The sediment deposited
In the bottles contained only traces
of iron and consequently could not
consist Of tannate or gallate Of iron,
as has hitherto been assumed. It
was probably composed of products
of the decomposition of tannic and
gallo acids. II this decomposition is
favored by exposure to light, as is
not unlikely, ink should keep better
