lad corson-Ilke Ability 70 Stay Those
Upon Whom He Gaze
Fell.

Among tho Hindus and especially
those belonging to the Yogi school
Of thought, frany phenomena, unac-
countable by western standards Of
knowledge, arc accepted as matter Of
course. A writer in the Hindoo
Spiritual Magazine says that the inn
possible becomes possible to one who
has practiced steady gaze, and in
stances a strange story of an opera
singer, named Massol, who was a
popular favorite in the Paris of Ma
.poleon III. Although Massol was
a man of small intellect, he had a
wonderful voice and an eye which
slew. During his rendering of the
curse aria in the opera of ''King
Charles w." if his eye fell acciden-
tally upon anyone in the audience OF
on the stage, that person died. After
he had killed scene shifter, the
leader of the orchestra and an unfor-
tunate merchant from Marseilles,
the opera was excluded from the
repertoire. The writer of the article
says the science and practice of "the
gaze" is known among the Hindus
as 'Trataka Yoga," and that the
killing of small birds by its means
is not unusual power of its devo-
tees.

MEANING OF sTEPMoTHER.

"Stepmother" is a word with q
commonly unsupported history.
Probably most people if called upon
to explain it would say that it meant
a woman who had stepped into the
place of the true mother. DR.. john
son, at any rate, believed that this
was the suggestion of the word to
most minds. Really, "Step" is the
Anglo-Saxon 'steop," the original
meaning of which appears to have
been Orphaned" Stepchild, step
BARN, stepson and stepdaughter
came first, and then, by gradual fad
ing of the chronological meaning Of
"step," stepfather and stepmothe
came into being.

LOVE MATCH or ROYALTIES
cermsny's Crown Prince and Hls
Wife Are Deeply Devoted to
Each Other.

There is in the Woman's Home
Companion a very interesting per-
sonal and intimate article about Ger
many's Crown Princess Cecilie, who
is twenty-five years old and has been
the wife Of the crown prince for six
years. Sheha four children. Fol-
lowing is a brief extract from the
article:

a wooing as quiet as might have come

man could have chosen. The beauty
of it is that they are even more
deeply devoted today, and show it
with a frankness that people seldom
attribute to royalty. Naive they are,
too, in this aspect, as this story, told
me by a singer who witnessed the in
cident, will show. She happened to
be singing at a musicale at the Mar

prince and princess in Pottsdam.
When she had finished he, leaning on
the piano and looking at her with

PLAYING CARDS FOR TREATY
How Lsbouchere and the British Min
lister Modified the American
Secretary Of State.

Years ago / was in America and
went down with the English minis
ter to the United States to a small
inn in Virginia, where we we're to
meet Mr.. Marcy, the then United
States secretary of state, and reci-
procity between Canada and the
United States was to be quietly dis
cussed. Mr.. Marcy, the most genial
Of men, was as cross as a bear. He
would agree to nothing. "What on
earth is the matter with your chief p
l said to secretary who accompa-
MED him. Gle does not have his
rubber of whist" answered the sec
rotary. After this every night the
minister and played at whist with
Mr.. Marcy and his secretary, and
every night we lost. The stakes were
very trifing, but Mr.. Marcy felt
6attered by beating the Britishers at
what he called their own game. His
good humor returned, and every
morning when the details of the
treaty were being discussed we had
our revenge and scored a few point,
for Canada.-Henry Labouchere, in

KILLED BUT NOT CONVINCED
IrIshman Wouldn't Believe the Enemy
Could Shoot Even After Being
MORALLY Wounded.

Senator John b. Johnson is a
great admirer of the Irish because
Of their courage and wit. He tells
a story illustrating his argument
that the Irish, from the viewpoint of
glorious bravery, are a great people.
He was in a battle on one occasion
during the Civil war, and the fire
from the Union men was unusually
hot.
While the bullets we're singing all
about them, an Irish corporal began
to laugh.
''What are you laughing atP'
asked Johnston.
"Shure," said the Irishman, 'T'm
laughing at thin Yankees. They
can't shoot at all, at ALL"
''Well, you'll get hit in a moment
and change your mind"
"Sure, not one of thin can shoot
at ALL" repeated the laughing man.
Just then he fell into the. ditch,
MORALLY wounded by a bullet
through his lungs.

think they can shoot"
'Not a bit of it." said the Irish.

BOAT RACING IN OLD DAYS.

Boat racing was a very different
affair from what it is now, when the
first boat race between Oxford and
Cambridge came off at Henley in
1929. Oxford won, wearing "blue
checks and sporting black straw
hats with broad blue ribbon; while
Cambridge was in white with pink
wristbands and high hats. The
weights of the racing boats used at
this time may be judged from the
fact that when they were converted
from "eights" to six oars, with seats
for passengers added, they could cas-
lily carry twenty persons.

CHILDREN ATTACKED BY OWL

A large owl, apparently angered
by its failure to capture any of the
pigeons at the farmhouse of Mrs.
Nels Anderson, near Carney, Mich,
attacked little children, who we're
coasting at the time.
The children sought safety by run
ming into the house. The bird
finally was shot and killed. It meas
ured five feet from tip to tip of its
wings. This is said to be the first
time on record that an owl has at
tackled human beings. = Detroit

OYSTER FISHING IN MEXICO
Immense Quantities Of Shells Are An
nuaIly Used in Making Shell
Lime.

Operations connected with the oy-
ster fishing in Mexico are very sim
pie, as in many of the lagoons the
water is so shallow that the fisher
men simply step down into the wa
ter, which will reach not much above
the middle of the thigh, and with
their hands pull off large masses of
the shells. The principal use made
of these oysters is to convert their
shells into lime. No limestone is
found along the Tabasco and Vera
Cruz coast, and to bring it from fur
their up the rivers is slow and ex-
pensive operation. The oyster beds,
centuries old, have taken the place
of the limestone quarries; immense
quantities of oysters and shells are
annually consumed in making shell
lime. The process is extremely
simple, but wantonly wasteful. No
distinction is made between old
shells and live oysters, nor would il
be possible to do SO. The entire catch
is taken on shore, where pile Of
wood is stacked up, and upon this
the shells and oysters are heaped and
a fire lighted. A few of the oysters
are eaten as soon as brought in, but
the percentage is insignificant.
