USING YOUR EYES.
Do You Think You Can Remember
Everything You See?

"Seeing is believing" is an old say
ing which is in a fair way to lose its
force. Modern psychology is proving
by experiments that people do not see
even a fraction of the things they con-
fidently believe they see.
The picture test was first demon
strated in America at Clark university
by the pioneer in this field, Professor
William Stern Of the University of
Breslau. at this time two unusually
intelligent children. q boy and a girl
in the upper grammar grades of the
Worcester schools, were shown sep
arately for the period Of a minute a
colored picture entitled the Bauer
stube," giving the interior of Ger
man peasants home. Among other
details Is seen table at which a man
and a boy are seated, while & woman
is standing.
The man has removed his coat, and
his bright red vest is clearly exposed
to view The boy is sitting on a bench,
his bare feet not quite touching the
foor The woman wears a brilliant
red skirt, over which is a blue-green
apron She has a yellow shawl over
her shoulders
Near by is cradle Of the same
striking blue-green as the apron At

it hang three pictures. These pictures

Hiah Quality Tea.

A verdict In favor Of high quality tea
as q harmless drink IS given by the
London Lancet. II is pointed out that
when caffeine and tannin are in state
Of combination the harmful astrtn-
gent qualities Of the tannin disappear
aud the bitter taste OF free caffeine is
not perceptble. Teas of high quality
yield. as a rule. a simple infusion of
caffeine tannate. not Of caffeine or Of
tannin. and such teas must be regard
ed cs the most desirable from phys
biological point Of view. Excessive in
fusion. it is stated. Will spoil good
tea, but even a short infusion Of a
bad tea may be as Questionable as an
excessive infusion Of good tea On

WALLED LAKE.

Where It's Water Comes From or
Where II Goes is Mystery.
One of the curiosities Of the west is
the walled lake" something over a
hundred miles west of Dubuque, Ia.
This lake il from two to three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In
some places the wall is ten feet high.
fifteen feet wide at the bottom and
Eve feet on top. A remarkable cir
cumstance with reference to this odd
lake Is the size Of the stones used in
its construction, inasmuch as the whole
OF them varies in weight from three
tons TO 100 pounds There is abun-
dance Of stones in Wright county. but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
Eve or ten miles there are none.
No one has any idea as to the means
employed to bring these stones to the
spot or as to who constructed this lake.
Around the entire lake is a belt Of
woodland half a mile in length com
posed Of oak With this exception the
country Is q rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the
time or the building OF the wall. In
the spring OF the year 1856 there was
a great storm. and the ice on the lake
broke the wall in several places. The
farmers in the silently were obliged to
repair the damages to prevent inunda-
ton. The lake occupies a ground sur
face OF $500 acres. The depth OF the
water is as great as twenty-five feet.
The water is clear and cold; the soil
is sandy and loamy. 1t is a singular
fact TINT no one has been able TO az

the bed is a window through which
nothing is visible except a branch of a
tree. Near the window is a clock with
the pendulum swung to one side. The
hands point to exactly half past IL.
All of the details of the picture are ex-
tremely clear
The children examined by Stern had
an opportunity in the minute allowed
for the examination of the picture to
study it in some detail. They knew
that they were to be tested immedi-
ately On what they had seen. Had
not the audience that witnessed the
demonstration been able to follow the
details Of the testimony by means OF
q reproduction of the picture thrown
by a lantern on a screen at the back
of the children they would have been
impressed with the remarkable clear
ness and apparent accuracy OF the
testimony, particularly with reference
to a certain cupboard which both tes-
tilted stood near the bed.
This cupboard was described MI
nutely with substantial agreement as
to the details. The fiction Of the cup
board was developed by a few sug-
gestive questions ingeniously put, such
as the following: Us there a cup
board in the roomT Che reply was

says that he has carried on the same
experiment with score Of subjects,
both adults and children. and has not
found one who could give a complete
ly accurate description of what he
had seen, even IN the direct testimony,

tons the witnesses have all shown

Scarcely two witnesses have agreed
as to the time of the clock; some have
not observed that it was going "a fact
clearly indicated by the position Of
the pendulum); several have described
the shoes. of the boy in detail Che Is

board: several have said that the lawn
is visible through the window and
have embellished it with fountain and
shrubs: some have seen a road wind
ing beyond the lawn and lined with
an avenue Of trees. taken bodily from
one Of the pictures on the wall: a nom
existent tablecloth has been described
as torn; the woman's apron has been
given all the colors of the rainbow,
but seldom the right one; the sleeves
of the mans coat, nowhere visible,
have been described as worn at the
edges; the brilliant red waistcoat has
generally been overlooked. But, most
remarkable of all. the entire twenty
| witnesses have taken their oaths that
the cradle Is not blue, but red or a
reddish brown
The results Of this picture test are
all the more remarkable when we re-
member that the witnesses In this ex-
pertinent are 10 much more advan-
tageous position for giving an accu-
rate report than are the witnesses Of
ordinary events. In trials IN court the
witness Is ordinarily called upon to re-
late what has occurred only after. a
considerable lapse of time. Mean
while he Is subjected to various ques-
tons, often by interested persons. He
talks about the occurrence with neigh
bors and friends, and then he is placed
on the witness stand with the injunc-
ton to tell "the truth. the whole truth
and nothing but the truth" Under

BOGUS ANCESTORS.

A Paying Business In England That
ThriVes Upon Snobbery.
The most tragic form of snobbery in
q country place is that which concerns
itself with the tracing Of a pedigree.
In my travels came upon man who
confessed that he had made thousands
Of pounds out of the conceit and snob-
bishness OF people living in country
places, and especially people who hap
pened to possess names OF a high
sounding character. His method of
work was simple, and only the ultra
snob could be taken in by it.
he would glance through a local di-
rectory and select q few names Of the
| Fitz-Blank style A short visit to the
/ town would help him TO determine the
character OF the persona snob Is cas-
ily distinguished. and he would return
to his place and write that he had
come into the possession Of a portrait
which he had every reason TO believe
was that of an ancestor Of Mr.. Fitz-
Blank
There would be few quaint hero
glyphics on the back OF the canvas
showing that the original was a native
OF the town in which Mr.. Fitz-Blank
was residing. In nine cases out of ten
that picture sold at a price which
meant a profit Of 100 per cent to the
dealer after he had paid the little ltal-
ian artist, who turned out the pictures
by the dozen. In many a country house
today there IS a fine old full length
portrait of an ancestor which was
painted in murky studio somewhere
down whitechapel way.-Margaret Bal

Serious and Ugly Wounds From Which

IF all deer that are wounded in the
course of the hunting season and sue
coed in getting out Of the way Of the
hunter should wander away and die
the woods would contain many more
dead deer than are taken away" said
an old hunter. But all of them do
not wander on and die a loss to the
hunter.
Deer have great recuperat1ve pow
ers. 1t is no sign that deer is doom
ed to go of and die because it is bad
Iy wounded. / have killed many a
deer that gave evidence Of having
been so severely wounded that its hav
ing survived to take the range again
seemed almost miraculous.
II once shot and killed a buck that
had a rife bullet encysted near the
skin Of the left shoulder, but there was
NO wound on the outside of the skin
to show that it had entered the deer
there. Investigation showed a wound,
long healed, near the top of the right
shoulder, Enthusiastically made by that
rifle bullet, which must have passed
clear through the deer TO the left Shout
der, where its speed was spent and it
lodged just under the skin.
Besides that severe wound that deer
had been pretty well filed some time
or other by buckshot, for took out
nine from one side Of him, where they
had broken several Of his ribs. These
two ugly wounds had been inflicted at
different times, and in spite Of them
he was in splendid condition and
