Physical and PsychIcaI.

Dr.. Farill, lecturing before a social
service class in Chicago, said the
character of the man as a citizen Oft
en- was dependent on the physical
training he received" Yes, but his
character was more dependent upon
the moral training he had received.
His environment, his studies, his as
sociations, his methods Of thought,
the books he reads, the things he likes
to talk about have more effect on his
character than all the physical exer,
ciset he al pursue. Because sound
muscles, nerves and organs are to be
desired, they should not m%onopolize
ones interest entirely. The vanity Of
the flesh very often leads to the IN
dermining Of ones life.
Building up the physical at the ex'
pense Of the psychical Is a disturb
ance Of that equilibrium which means
health. The tendency Of the age IL
to disturb that equilibrium-to make
the legs Of q man the test OF his
mightness, which was not the Lords
way, as the Psalms remark. The right
way, in the determination Of those i'm
portant relations, Is to keep the sou
just a little ahead Of the body or
its upward march.

be glad to see our part Of the country
n~eutralized under the powers. as is
the case with Lebanon, over which,
however, Turkey has some control.
Then all these emigrants who have

the part of the principal foreigners

be a heavy drag on the wheels of the

Another ominous and allied fact Is
that the Christians in the Turkish en-
pire are emigrating by the thousands.
II anybody has the curiosity to exam
inc the bulletins of Ellis island during
the present six months he will find a

fed from the prospect Of military serv-

HOW TO AVOID MATRlMoNY
KInd.Hearted Soul Offers Some Valu
able Advice on tho Matter,
Without Charge.

To avoid getting married Is q very
easy matter. either for a man OF a
woman. II you are a man. frequent
the dance, especially the contingent
dance. Stick to the debutante as
men Of liberal views stick to their
opinions. Hang around con~servatories
when the music Is playing soft and
low, and where there are intoxicating
odors. Hang around summer resorts
and attend musical recitals. There
are other things to do, but this should
be enough.
For a woman to avoid matrimony
is quite as easy. She should live y!
a college town. or Washington, d. y.
| She should cultivate those young men
who wear yachting suits all summer
and who know what to do with their
hats on a piazza; who are good at
buckling on skates, who ask II you
have heard this and that, who would
Just as soon act as ushers at a we'd
ding as not, who are perfectly willing
to explain the game Of baseball, who
are willing to introduce other fell
lows.
That's all you have to do to avoid
matrimony. But, in order to cinch
the matter 1t may be well to add a
few more words Of advice.
Ladies! If a man comes along who
will not talk baseball with you; who
does not know anybody and does not
want to; who does not yer play
bridge; who cannot even tell you who
are the richest girls at the summer
resort and Just how rich they are;
who never was an usher at a wedding
and never will be-pass him the ice
pitcher! And do 1t quick! Then
go and hide!
Men! When you see a girl who
hasn't got a crowd around her; who
wears no scalps upon her belt; who
subscribes to the F'nme Lady; who
knows how to set a table for five In
q cottage that cost $1,000; who car

Foreigners Resident In the Turkish

Ing the Outlook for the New Re-

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Somewhere in Turkey.-For rea-

calize the interview which I shall re-
port in this article. The persons
quoted could easily be discovered. and
they would be made to feel the heavy
hand of the government. They repre-
sent the darker side of the present sit

Before proceeding to quote these
men, l may state n ominous and
related fact, viz: Every foreigner
whom l have met In Turkey-and ]
have interviewed hundreds-has
shown himself hostile to the present
government. This is an amazing con
dition of things. Sometimes the an

NESTS ON CAR TRUCK

= When a certain freight car rolled
out Of the railroad yard at East Bur-
lington. N. j., the other day, 8 thrush
and her six little one chirped from
a %neighboring bush a grateful good
bye. For weeks they had nested on
one Of the trucks Of the car. The
birds are indebted to William South
wick, the yardmaster. Four times a
switch engine had called for the
empty car and four times the yard
master had refused to let 1t 60. He
had seen the thrush darling In and
out from the truck and had discov-
cred the nest with the six eggs. He
knew the moving of the car meant the
determination Of the family and so he
made It wait until the mother Matched
the eggs and the fledglings could fly.

in Borneo, according to T. paper read
on the subject before the Academic
des Sciences by Professor Dybowski.
It comes from the milk Of a plant
known as Dycra c~ostulata, and, after
coagulating, the milk forms a white
germ known as jelutong. When
quite dried the matter is almost rs
hard as rosin, and 1t contains from
10 to 20 per cent rubber. 1t Is said

Theory OF Process Of Vision ID
. Changed az Result OF Series Of
Experiments.

new discovery with regard TO the
phenomena of the sense OF sight has
been announced by DIR. r. w. Edridge.
Green. an eminent English authority
In visual research. He has found by
an interesting series OF experiments
and tests that the process Of vision Is
not the simple transmission by the
optic nerve TO the brain Of objects
photographed upon the retina.
The new discovery in non.technical
language amounts to this: In front OF
the retina there is a small chamber
or sac OF clear liquid which is in con.
slant motion Of currents or. eddies.
DR.. Green finds that this liquid Itself
contains distinct percepiye nerve
power which plays an important part
IN conveying Impressions to the
brain.
In other words, this wonderful fluid
contains liquid nerves. so 10 speak.
