QUEER FORM OF INSANITY.
Why Some Men Are Angels Abroad
and Demons at Home.

Why Some Men Are Angels Abroad
and Demons at Home.
There is form Of insanity, so we'll
recognized that wills have been broken
on the strength Of it. that takes the
form of brutality to those of ones
own family when at the same time its
victim is kind, benevolent and charm
ing to all outside. This is known to
alienists and lawyers as ''oikimania."
Historic cases Of it are those of Dean
Swift. Mrs. John Wesley and the ia
Their Of Frederick the Great.
In women it generally takes the
form Of an unreasoning and baseless
jealousy, leading them to make life a
burden to their husbands. to sulk per-
versely at home while shining in so
ciety or spending much time in re
ligious devotion or in works of benevO-
lence.
In men oikimania takes the form of
active brutality to their wives and
children. 1t is often accompanied by
continuous and exhauStin" re,nurSe
under the terrible ro1lSs business that
they are torturing those they really
love. But they are unable to shake
off the habit Sometimes. when the
object of their persecution is dead.
they themselves become actually in.
sane. Such was the case with Dean
Swift after the death Of Stella. the
victim Of his brutality, when he paid
the penalty in pathetic alterations of
delirium and melancholy.
So we'll is this form Of insanity recog-
nized that the courts will throw out
the will of a man who has manifested
it if this will cuts off his natural heirs.

The Mares Are Here.

The young mares previously adver-
tised in the Union are here, and they
are certainly a bunch of beauties.
Lose no time if you are looking for
good animals, as they will go fast.
These young mares have been selec-
ted with great care and are the best
to be procured. They are sound in
every way and range in weight from
1000 to l, 400 pounds. Just the sort
of animals you want for farm or gen.
eral purpose work. Don't overlook
this opportunity to buy good sound
mares at reasonable prices. Terms,

GR0ovED EYEsToNEs.
Found In Tiny MoIIusks Of the South
American Coasts.


American Coasts.
South American eyeStones are tiny
objects that look like fat. round bits OF
polished bone. Upon one side of each
stone there are numerous cOncentric
grooves.
1t an eyestone is placed in vinegar or
weak solution OF Iimewater 1t be-
HAYES very much as if it were alive.
1t moves slowly about in various direc~
tons and altogether conducts itself In
most mysterious manner. This
strange activity has given rise among
ignorant and superstitious persons to
the notion that the eyestone has life
and "loves to swim"
AS matter Of fact. Of course, an
eyestone has no more life than a paw
ing stone. 1t is composed of calcare-
Gus material, and in limewater or GER
tain other liquids it is made to move
about by the carbonic acid gas caused
by the contact of the stone and the
liquid.
These curious little stones were once
the front DOORS" so to speak. of the
shells Of a tiny mollusk that lives
along the South American coasts. The
calcareous formation occurs at the tip
end Of the mollusk. and when it draws
itself into it's shell to escape danger or
to go to sleep that tip fits so snugly
into the mouth of the she'll that it af-
fords the creature perfect protection
against it's enemies.
The natives collect these little mol
lusks for no other purpose than to get
the eyestones Sailors on the vessels
! engaged in the fruit trade with those
regions get the stones. bring them to
the United States and sell them to
! druggists.
The stones are often used for remov-
! ing foreign substances from the eye
when the services Of physician or an
oculist are not to be had conveniently.
Many persons think that before using
one you must put it in vinegar to give
it life" but the notion is absurd. You
need only insert the stone at the outer
! corner Of the eye with the grooved side
next to the lid. The pressure of the
eyeball moves the stone about in the
eye. The grooves collect and retain
the foreign matter, and when the stone
has accomplished its circuit it emerges
at the end of the eye next the nose.
There are other eyestones In the
head of the common crawish there are
two little bones just behind and be-
meath the eyes. These bones resemble
the South American eyestones. but the
fish bones are wholly smooth instead
of being grooved on one side. These
rawtish bones have been used in the
west as eyestones, but they are not sc
efficacious as those from South Amer
ica.-Youth's Companion.

How They Cured Madness.

Murder as we'll as suicide was some
times justified in the old days. In an
cient parish registers in England there
are such entries as ''Hodgkinson Thorn
as dyed ye 18th dale of April, 1917.
N. Bile was smothered for ye mad
ness" Which means that as Hodgkin-
son had been bitten by mad dog his
kind hearted neighbors settled his fate
for him by putting feather bed on
top of him and sitting on it till he was
suffocated.

A historic old tree, believed to be 500

his attack upon the national capital,
was recently cut down in Washington.
The tree was in perfect condition

An Instance of the Benefits.

AS an instance Of the benefits ex-
tended to the farmer it is pointed out
that in France these cooperative So
cieties, which have been developed
with government aid, spend part of
their surplus funds in the purchase of
high grade agricultural machinery.
This machinery can be obtained by
the farmer upon the payment of a
practically nominal fee and is some
times loaned gratuitously. Though
such a plan is not part of the pres
ent attempt, the reduction of rates of
interest on money and the improved
terms which it is expected will be OBJ
tanned for the farmer will make it
much easier thing for him to purchase
improved machinery and better his
methods Of cultivation.
The American organization would
probably act in far more restricted
field than most of the European COM
panies, which have many other func-
tons than the sole one of floating
bonds on farm mortgages. However,
it would provide the essential link be-
tween the farmer and the general in
vestor. President Taft is optimistic
that in this plan he can give the in
vestor safe place for his money and
at the same time apply that money in
the development of what he considers
one Of the most important Industries
to which the United States owes pro-
lection today.

or about $4O,OOO,OOO.
In Germany practically the same
system prevails in what are known
as "Landschaften." These are socie-
ties Of farmers with the power to is
sue bonds based on mortgages held by
the association. These bonds are guar
anteed by every member Of the soci-
ETY.. With this guaranty these bonds
find ready sale in any bank in the en-
pire and are bought by investors of
every class.
The hackers of the scheme in Wash.
ington feel confident that plenty of
American money at cheap rates can be
found for Investment in American
farm land mortgages if this system is
introduced here and the link is pro.
vided for the farmer to get his offer
before the general investors of the
country: It is intended to make the
venture, when adopted here, a project
primarily for the benefit of the farmer
The promoters of the scheme are not
to receive any portion of the profits
and even the earnings of the stock
holders will have to be kept down tt
very reasonable rates. Government
supervision may be introduced as il
France, or at least provision would be
made for thorough investigation OF the
operations of the company by the fed
eral and probably also by the state au
thorities. It is likely that the cooper

An officials View.

Discussing the plan one of the gov
eminent officials to whom has been in
trusted the preparatory work declared
that the failure in the United States
to secure cheaper money for the farm
er has been largely responsible for the
fact that the per acre production Of
many staple agricultural products in
this country is far behind the Euro
pean production. This is true, he said.
in the production Of wheat, oats and
potatoes, in all of which products Eu-
rope leads in acreage production. He
pointed out that in Europe when the
governments took up the question Of
teaching the farmer improved meth
DDS of agriculture they had the fore
sight to help him secure the where
withal to adopt these methods Much
is being done by both the federal gov
eminent and the states through the de-
partment Of agriculture, the agricul-
tural schools, experimental stations and
in other ways to teach the American
farmer better methods. but nothing
has been done, he pointed out, to help
the farmer secure money with which
to adopt them.
The agricultural educational work in
Europe was done hand in hand with
the farmers cooperative movement,
and the governments aided the coop
erative associations by granting sub
| ventions, lending expert advice and in
other ways, so that the farmer when
ever he was taught new method or
shown the value Of introducing i'm
proved machinery was given a way
to secure the necessary machinery or
| adopt the new plan.

A pretty fancy handbag is of doe
skin lined with white MORE and
drawn up with a cord to match the

novel way of using buttons for
trimming is to mount them on
thread or ribbon and use them like
garlands
Another trick is to attach the but
tons by means Of embroidery stitches
radiating from the center Of the but
ton.
Collars of extraordinary sheer ba-
tiste or mousseline, heavily embroid-
cred, are seen on almost every new
waist
Matelasse is a wonderful material
when you remember how It is used
for skirts. gowns, waists and even

Some of the new skirts have pockets.
but pockets large enough for the
owners hands only, not for even a
handkerchief
Hemp promises to be the greatest
favorite for spring hats, though milan,
horsehair and panama will hold their
own.
Beaded work on tulle is having a

of the best effects is where the dresses
are in two colors.
