"Evil Eye" Based on Fact.

Most people have heard of the Evil
Eye" and now we are informed by
Charles L. Smith, noted New York
refractionist that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know
ing it, has one eye that is different In
power and activity from the other He
designates it the dominant eye" and
according to whether it is the left
or the right children will grow up left
handed or right-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-
cry. to force child to become am
bidextrous. Such course may result
in wrecking the nervous system, and
can only be cured by a reversal of the
process SO that the dominant eye
may regain natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the EVIL eye"

Southwestern college, was damaged to
the extent of about $1,000 by fire the
other day. The blaze originated from
a defective connection of Il gas stove
in the chapel and when discovered had
burned a large hole through he chap
ell floor and the ceiling u: tne room be-
low. Prompt action of the students
with the use of the CHI eln cal appara'
tus and by forming a bLc'Iet brigade
from the basement saved the building.

Coffee" writes an Ohio woman, now l
laugh to know there is.
Since childhood drank coffee free
ly as did the other members of the fam
lily. The result was a puny, sickly
girl; and as l grew into womanhood l
did not gain in health, but was af-
ficted with heart trouble, weak and
disordered stomach, wrecked nerves
and a general breaking down till last
winter, at the age of So. l seemed to
be on the verge of consumption.
MY friends greeted me with How
bad you look! What terrible color!
and this was not very comforting.
"The doctors and patent medicines
did me absolutely no good. / was thor
oughly discouraged
Then l gave up coffee and COM
menced Postum. At first l didn't like
II but after few trials and following
the directions exactly it was grand:
II was refreshing and satisfying. In
a couple of weeks l noticed a great
change.
81 became stronger. my brain grew
clearer, was not troubled with for
getfulness as in coffee times, my
power of endurance was more than
doubled.
THE heart trouble and indigestion
disappeared and my nerves became
steady and strong.
81 began to take an interest in things
about me. Homework and home
making became a pleasure. My friends
have marveled at the change and when
they enquire what brought 1t about

Fishes Survived Drought.

A curious drought survival by fishes
is reported from France. The ditch

up last summer although usually
canal three miles long and fifty feet
wide, with five feet of water All carp
tench, perch, and pike disappeared
leaving dry mud. A recent sudden
rainfall however supplied little wa

rising-as lively as ever-from the
mud in which they had buried them
selves.

NOT HOPE.

~VHE appalling disaster which has overtakep the latest Empress
of the Seas in the lonely ocean wastes on her maiden voyage
to this country is bound to awaken . new and shuddcring
interest in the risks Of ocean travel.
SO far, the conclusions to be drawn from the moagrc details are
still family, if only family, reassurins.
That wireless telegraphy has again scored in saving life on the
high seas i, Of course, the one obvious fact. Only ton years ago q
great steamer, with 1890 souls on board, sinking twelve hundred
miles east of this port, with no other vessel within call Of flag, rocket
or whistle, might have remained forever q horrible mystery!
What will strike people unfamiliar with Transatlantic travel.
however, is the amazing number Of steamships that proved to b.
within calling distance Of the unfortunate Titanic. Within . few
hours Of the disaster tho vrginian. tho Psridan. the Csrpsthia, tho
Baltic and the Olympic we're speeding under full steam 70 the rescue,
while the Cincinnati, the Aaurstania, the Pinz Adslbsrt, the stdr-
mark, the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm and the Ameriks we're approach
ing from greater distances.
Few people can fail to b impressed with the fact that tho great
lanes Of travel from this port to England, Germany and France arc
at any given moment a~stonishingiy full Of traffic. Danger or disaster
may often mean hardly more for . ahp than turning for hlp to the
pAssers BY.
But this very dsnaHy Il tz.nsatlantc traffic raises another
question.
Until the full pastioalau Of the catastrophe are known it il.
both idle and unfair to discuas whether Il could have been prevented.
For the past week, however, IL b . fct that incoming steamers
hsys reported uncommonly heavy and dangerous leo in the regular
track. Tho Niagara Of tho French Line and The Carmanis Of the
CunaM Line both told Of narrowing ozpssisnoss with iccberss and
Geld Toe of tho banks Of Newfoundland.
Nov everybody imowy that when . vessel ia in trouble all steam
ships within 9 wireless radu coopests Thoroughly, report to each
other, indicate positions, pass On messages to the shore--contnue, in
fact, in an slmost unb,oken wireless conversation.
Is there TIC Same cooperation between ships Of different lines
in reporting frequently and infinitely tho position and character Of
ice? Thst every captain Of . big steamer gAs many messages about
ice from other vessels ID not for . minute doubted. But does he get
III data from every direction that might be helpful to him in figuring
'out what lies ahead? IL thsrs . systsmatic scheme Of this sort work
ing between ships Of al hines to furnish each captain tho fullest in
formation possible?
The loss Of the Titanic may we'll lead to . reimbursement Of spring
rcutes across the Atlantic. That an unusually largo and threatening
mass of ice has crawed down 10 the south is apparent from the stories
Of incoming vesscls. Even Broadway sailors could smell icebcrgs in
the sinister, penetrating chill Of the east winds Of Saturday and
Sunday.
But until full reports sTive, w on shore ran only .tsnd silent
md sgtast At these terrible and tragic messages borne in from tho
mysterious dcep.
