Eyes Of Night Providers.

Many creatures are noctambulists.
Some have eyes specially adapted to
the conditions of the night. among
them cats, night birds and night but
terfiies. In the eyes OF night animals
the ends of the optic nerve are d.
vided into about 20,0O0,000 cylindric-
al fibers and $4,000 conical fibers. Ac-
cording to Won Kries, the conical
fibers perceive dark colors Many ami
mails see clearly in the dark because
In their eyes cylindrical and conical
.fibers are uniformly intermingled.
The horse follows the road, how
ever dark the night; the owl sees
dark things better than he sees light
things; therefore, 1t Is probable that
the cylindrical fiberA of his optic
nerves are either more numerous or
more powerful than the conicai fibers.

Point Of View.

When the necessity Of daily labor
is removed and the call Of social duty
fulfilled, that of moderate and timely
amusement claims its place as want
inherent in our own nature. To re-
lieve this want and fill up the mental
vacancy games are devised, books are
written, music is composed, spectacles
and plays are invented and exhibited.
And if these plays have moral and
virtuous tendency; If the sentiments
expressed are calculated to rouse our
love of what is noble, and our con-
tempt of what is base and mean; If
they unite hundreds in a sympathetic
admiration of virtue, adherence OF
vice or derision of folly-it will re-
main to be shown how far the spec
tator is more criminally engaged than

idle gossip of society, in the feverish
pursuits Of ambition or in the unsated

MODEL IN A DOUBLE SENSE
One Quality In Wax Figure Which
Convinced Mr.. Jones She Would
Make a Good Wife.

Mr.. Jones came home at an I'M
seemly hour the other night, and was
surprised to see Mrs. Jones sitting
up for him below stairs with no other
light than that of the gas lamp which
faced the door to keep her company.
"M-M-Marie," he said. huskily, ~
you shouldn't sit up slate when I'm
out on business"
AS Mrs. Jones did not answer him,
he continued, in an alarmed voice:
Shorty, m'dear, but it's last time
tell you I'm sorry--won't shpeak to
me?"
At this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
"Mr. Jones, to whom are you talk
ing at this hour of the night?"
"Thash what I'd like to know m-m-
myself" stammered Jones.
Mrs. Jones fastened downstairs,
lamp in hand. When she saw the sit
uation, she laughed. in spite of being
very angry.
"It's the model" she said. "The
model / bought to-day to fit my dresses
on!"
Eyes, thash So" said Jones, tipsily.
Model woman-didn't talk back.

RECOGNITION or THE 0ccULy
Even It's Enemies Are Willing to
Grant That the Belief Has .
I Foundation In Fact.

The mysterious, the secret. and the
unknown have ever exercised power
full attraction over the human mind,
and the present craze for what we
may designate cocmprehensively as
occult research Is mo new thing. But
It cannot be denied that, apart from
the merely superficial side. which
naturally fascinates the empty-headed.
the frivolous, or the ignorant. there
are aspects of occultism which make
very deep appeal to the more intel
lectual and spiritual among us.
Whether this be a good sign or not,
II is not our intention to inquire; but
IL is curious to note the grounds upon
which its bitterest opponents base
their objections to occultism In gen.
eral. We need not trouble about the
superior or matter-of-fact persons
who, without the slightest inquiry,
smile at such "superstitions," for no
man has a right to sheer at another's
beliefs, unltss he can prove that other
to be wrong. But the real enemies OF
occult science are those who, fully
admitting the objective reality Of &C.
cult experiences, hold that they are
necessarily evil and harmful in them
selves. On this point, again. we
should not care to express an opinion.
but it is clearly a remarkable fact
that fancies which have for SO many
generations been looked upon as mere
superstitions and old wives tales
should now be acknowledged by so
many intelligent and thinking individ-
uals as at least resting upon some
foundation of fact. Who could have
predicted such tremendous reversal
of opinion concerning these matters
fifty years ago?-London Globe.

FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Been
Raised by the Decision Of
Learned Judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and a
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you to keep 1t from barking and yelp-
ing day and night, interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss of sleep, and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
ing, yelping and bowling. except in
cases Of burglary or fire." how would
you set about obeying the order?
If you fix 1t so the dog cannot bark
at all and burglars invade your domi-
Gle or fire breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying the
Injunction that your restraint of the
barking, yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
Is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out
for burglars and fires and be ready to
remove your restraint of the dog
vocalization when either or both APP
pear?
Yes, you might get rid of the dog,
of course, but there Is nothing said
about that. The law does not prohib-
1t you keeping the dog All 1t Is con-
cerned about is that you shall not al
low the dog to become a nuisance.
You have to place it under restraint.
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have to worry about what con-
stitutes reasonable restraint because
there's not word about reasonable
ness In the law. All you have to do
Is to restrain the animal from bark
ing, yelping and bowling, except In
cases of burglary or fire. The excep-
ton may, It Is true, seem unreason-
able, but the law Is made to be obeyed
somehow and 1t leaves 1t to you to
find out how.

ANOTHER SIDE TO THE CASE
Just Few Things Elderly Man Over
looked In His Indictment OF Lazy

Said the elderly man in the street
car: Zone thing that runs up the
cost Of living is the laziness of the
average woman. She's too lazy to
carry bundles home from the stores.
Everything she buys, from spool OF
thread up, she asks to have delivered,
and the cost of the delivering adds 10
per cent to the cost Of every article.
Now, my wife Is different from the
common run. Every week day in the
year she goes to the market with a
big basket, does her own buying and
carries the stuff home herself. That's
more than your wife does, I'll bet"

Wife's Unqualified Praise.

The young novelist, had had hard
time of 1t, and his dear wife had had
just as hard a one. She held his tai
ents in poor esteem and often urged
him to try something else, for she was
sometimes hungry and all the time Ill
clad. But one day his luck changed.
He began to make money. And there
came a day when he was able to write
his check for 800 and pass 1t to his
wife.
Her eyes filled with tears as she
read 1t.
"Willlbrand, darling" she said, as
she FASTENED around the table and put
her arm about his neck, "I'll take back

TOO MUCH OF A. GOOD THING
Duck Raiser Found Pepsin Of consld-
cradle Value, But He Has Dis
continued Its Use.

Refusing to eat any kind of food
Chester, N. Y, concluded that his
flock OF one dozen ducks had a form
of dyspepsia and decided to doctor
them himself. His method was not
entirely original, for he procured pep
sin tablets and, dissolving them in
water, he contrived to get the fluid
down their threats with the aid of a
metal tube. Releasing them one by
one he sat down In the house to see
what happened.
Almost magical effects were noted.
Instead of declining their usual pro-
vender, they ate 1t with avidity and
came back for more. Scraps from the
family dinner table also disappeared
In a similar manner. Delighted with
the success Of his experiment Koch
administered additional doses OF fluid
pepsin. Ducks eggs were one result.
But now the entire flock seems to
be always hungry. That has It's disa-
greeable features. Seven o'clock In
the morning is the customary feeding
time for the ducks, but 1t is different
now. The ducks know where Koch
sleeps, and they assemble under his
bedroom window and quack In chorus
before five o'clock, keeping up the
din until he throws some food to
them. Two hours or so later they re-
sumo their clamor So 1t goes all day.
Koch Is getting eggs, but he is losing
sleep.
Take 1t from me-" he says, II have
stopped the pepsin."

HAD LOST HIS "cREDENTlALsr
Salesman May Have Improved His APP
pearance, But Shave Cost Him
Customers.

Charles A. Cotterill has q grand and
gorgeous set of whiskers which, in
their own gold and tawny way. show
as many varying hues as changeable
silk under the midday sun. There are
mixed up In that growth OF beard all
the marvellous tints of the sunrise, the
South African gold mines. and the cir
Gus posters. But there is a sad story
connected with the facial adornment.
The first year that Coterill travelled
for big drug firm of New York city,
he waved the whiskers up and down a
wide territory. selling much merchan-
disc and making many friends. At the
end Of the season he got a shave and
on his next trip the tragedy began to
unfold. Nobody knew him. Every
time he went up to man to whom he
had made a sale previously, the fell
low would say:
"You are not Cotterill. How well !
remember Cotterill! He was a merry.
good-natured. entertaining fellow. and
he told such good stories. Besides. he
had whiskers. and you have none. You
can't be Cotterill."
After a week Of this, Cotterill. ut
terly detected by the fact that he
could make no Roadway in his bust
ness. telegraphed his firm as follows:
Must have leave of absence long
enough to grow beard"
He has not shaved since.-Popular
