To Husband and Wife.

Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state
and your heart Let no father or
mother or sister or brother ever pre-
sumo TO come between you or share
the joys or sorrows that belong to you
two alone.
With mutual help build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friends to be the confidant Of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments of alienation, If
they occur. be healed at once. Never.
no, never. speak Of 1t outside. but to
each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow's
sun still find you at variance. Renew
and renew your vow. 1t will do you
good. and thereby your minds viii
grow together contented in that love
which is stronger than death, and you
will be truly one.--National Magazine.
Two Dinsnsionai Vision.
Most people do not know that they
ought to be very thankful for having
both eyes In one plane instead Of hav-
ing them one on each side Of the head.
II the latter obtained no one could tell
that an object had more than two di-
mensions until experience and the
sense OF touch educated the brain to 1t.
Any one can try 1t for himself. Shut
one eye and look at different objects.
They appear fat. With binocular vi
sion two views OF each object are OBJ
tanned and neither is exactly like the
other, 80 the idea OF depth comes in.
The most easily shown example OF
the difference is as follows: Take a
ring and hold II about two feet from
the eye. With one eye closed 1t will
take at least fve trials to thrust pen
ell through the ring, whereas with
both eyes open It can be done on the
first trial.
All animals with eyes on opposite
sides OF the head labor under this dis
advantage, as do all insects. 1t is
called two dimensional vision. as the
idea Of depth is not possible. All this
is on account Of the image thrown OF
the retina OF the eye being in only two
dimensions.-P Philadelphia Press.

Trial Of a Dead Man,

Mr.. Christopher Hare's book on
"Charles de Bourbon. High Constable
of France" mentions the strange
trial which succeeded the close Of that
turbulent career. He had died in con-
quering Rome, which his leaderless
soldiers straightway sacked. For this
crime 1t was necessary to find a scape'
goat, so "on July 20. 1927, in the pres
ence of King Francois l.. on his seat
of justice, assisted by the peers of
France and the assembled chambers,
Jean de Surie. first usher of the court,
called Charles de Bourbon three times
at the bar of the parliament, at the
marble table and at the marble steps
and then reported that the said De
Bourbon had not appeared. The SEN
tence was drawn up, then solemnly
read out: The connetable de France,
dead. was condemned. his goods re-
turned to the crown, and the door of
his palace by the Louvre was painted
Yellow"

Woodearvers Of Burma.

The woodcarvers OF Burma are the
most skilled in the world. They Sc
lect and cut the best logs along the
1rawaddy river In the dry season, aud
these are thrown into the shrunken
stream. There they lie until the fresh
cts of the rainy season lift them and
bear them down to the populous cities
below.
Then huge elephants are employed
to drag the heavy logs from the
stream and take them to the saw
mills. They are then worked up into
timbers suitable for the woodcarvers.
The carvers use the figure of Buddha
or some other emblem concerning the
Buddhistic worship In the greater
part The details are worked out in a
careful way.
Sterns of boats are carved In an
elaborate manner, and some Of them
would be worth a fortune in this coun-
try. The prov of the boat is usually
ornamented with a fgurehead Of very
elaborate carving. The art Of wood
carving is handed down in the fami-
lies in Burma, the children being
taught by their fathers. Wichita

a Realistic Picture.

A still life by Jan van Huysen in
the museum at The Hague was injur-
ed, but it is believed that the perpe-
traitor was neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket of
fruit on which a number of insects
have gathered. On a pale yellow ap-
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is a. large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was in
jured by some one who endeavored to
"shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A trib-
ute to the painters genius" says the
letter recording the fact, 'for which
the work had 10 suffer"

Black Hand Methods.
In commenting upon the fact that
the newspaper which printed the sen.
sational story solicited orders Tor the
sale of the paper two days in advance
of it's publication from politicians to
have II distributed as a campaign doc
ument, the Gazette-Times says: "In
stead Of publishing its alleged revela-
tions in the usual course of business
as purveyor of news and thus con-
veying to the public such information
as II deemed proper without regard to
politics, 1t served a sort of Black
Hand blackmailers notice upon Sena-
tor Penrose that unless he withdraw
Mr.. Tener within as hours 1t would
publish certain exposures to prove the
latter's unfitness for the governorship.
Aside from the fact that Senator Pen
rose has neither the power nor the
authority to withdraw Mr.. Tener and
that the miserable creatures making
this threat knew Mr. Penrose would do
nothing of the sort, the effect of this
preliminary publication was to sub
ject Mr.. Tener to grave suspicious,
without redress or the opportunity to
defend himself for two whole days
during a critical stage of the state
canvass. Here was the real infamy
of this wretched sensationalism,
though the story as 1t finally appeared
is hardly less shameful in construc-
ton
THE whole affair, however, turns
out to be a flash in the pan" There
is nothing to show either culpability
or wrongdoing, unfitness or dishonesty
on Mr. Tener's part"
Upon every hand citizens are de-
nouncing the authors of the attack
and the fact has been demonstrated
that the unwarranted criticisms have
helped rather than hurt Mr.. Tener in
his canvass for the governorship.
Bitterly resenting the work of the
journalistic mud-slingers, Republicans
everywhere are evincing a keen inter
est in the campaign and are deter
mined to emphasize their contempt for
the slanderers by rolling up a great
vote for Mr.. Tener and the full Repub-
lican ticket on election day.
From the methods now being re-
sorted to by the Keystone Party man.
ayers almost anything may be antici-
pated in the way of despicable cam
paigning in the closing days of the
canvass. The masked man with still
letto is abroad and Mr.. Tener has been
picked as the victim. Every conceiv-
able form of malice and venom will be
employed in the desperate game to
elect Berry governor.
These men recognize the strength
of Mr.. Tener with the people and they
are driven to desperation and thug
gerry in their mad attempts to stem
the tide of popular sentiment th,t is
sweeping Mr.. Tener on to victory.

Would You Enjoy
Healthy Old Age ?

Advancing years bring tendency to
coldness of the hands and feet, resulting
from sluggish circulation, torpid liver and
constipation. This is a condition, not a
disease, and can best be remedied by taking
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills which
invigorate the liver, cleanse and revitalize
the blood and tone up the whole system.
They are of inestimable value, not only in
advanced age, but also for people of all
ages. They prevent premature wrinkles,
give health glow to the skin, and un der
their antiseptic and blood cleansing inhu-
ences the complexion retains its freshness
while sallowness permanently disappears.
Hundreds of grateful old ladies in their
letters write Your pills make me look
and feel ten years younger" Smiths Pine
apple and Butternut Pills always make old
age comfortable, and promote digestion and
nutrition by their specific action on the
stomach, liver and bowels. Physicians use
and recommend. They form no habit.
You should always keep them on hand.
These little Vegetable Pills will ward off
many ills.

Tho Ameer Mas Thorounh.

There were some interesting episodes
in the life Of Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place Of an At
ghanistan town he was fired at by a
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice of the incident, merely remark
ing, That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than 1t de-
served. but thought 1t advisable to say
no more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length
Sir Charles said, "Your highness has
been busy of late" "Oh, no." replied
the ameer; they are your little lot"
He had seized all the members Of the
would be assassin's family and hanged
every one Of them.
