Cigar Stump Exchange.

Without a doubt the most novel
mart in the world is the cigar stump
exchange which is held in the East
End of London every Sunday morn
ing Here the dweliers in the COM
mon l--::7S houees that abound in
the locality bring the cigar ends
"snipes," they call them-they have
collected during the week and sell
them to swarthy, alien looking men
for good, current coin Of the realm.
What becomes of them afterward
nobody seems to know but it is gem
orally surmised that they are made
NO into cheap cigarettes, after being
shredded. and probably mixed with
oJher tobacco or tobacco dust,
The sellers bring their wares in
paper bags in cardboard boxes, or
lied up in grimy handkerchiefs or old
"ags There is no dealing in futures.
Each broker sells only the cigar ends
actually in his possession, getting the
most money he can for them.
The prices on the Cigar Stump EN-
.hange vary from time to time, just
IS they do on other exchanges. In
summer, during the height of the
London season. they rule low. In
winter when fewer persons smoke cl-
Sals in the streets, the sellers get
10 or Is per cent more for their
Stumps.

TINE tendency these days is to get
underneath the sugar coating
No one is content to take his pill
in jam, not knowing his pill is there.
He wants to know what is in there He
wants to know just what is in it, why
he is taking 1t, Just what will be the
results. and when
He is no longer content to eat steak in
calf ox-like peace. He alculates, as. he
chews, on every mouthful having shf-
ficient of fats. proteids, carbohydrates,
and all those things of which we former
ly were so blissfully ignorant.
Daysey Mayme Appleton is carrying
this habit of analysis further. She no
longer tenderly smiles her way through
the realm of fiction. With a fierce frown
on her brow and the light of inyesti-

and pencil at her side, making note OF
all that is incongruous. The light OF
| romance no longer blinds her.

novels | have read since Christmas, the
hero clasped the heroine in his strong
manly arms in all but two. In SO OF
these novels he lay on his deathbed
but the writer's couldn't depart from the
time honored tradition. and his strong
arms were used the same as il he had
been in the best of health.

It is supposed to be a great aid in
warfare. 1t is nothing more nor less
than shell containing a parachute

ing powerful light. The shell is
fired at night. 1t bursts over the
enemy's camp. The parachute opens,
the great light bursts forth, illumi-

soldier, every piece of ordnance is
shown as plainly as if it were broad

trained on the enemy and the battle
continued throughout the night.

Care Of the Eues

THERE are few people who realize
the amount Of care the eyes de-
mand II they are to retain until old age
their brilliancy, usefulness and health.
1t Is not until ones eyesight begins
to trouble people that they begin to
take care of the eyes, and very often 1t
is then too late.
If the eyes are to be kept strong
there are three things to be avoided:
F~irst.-Reading in bed.
Second.-working in n falling light,
Third.-Exposing them to the glare OF
artificial light or strong sunlight when
they are overtired.
Camomile Tea.
Weak eyes can be strengthened by
bathing them with a strong solution OF
camomile tea. This is exceedingly
good, although 1t is a very old fash
Toned remedy, Tor each application the
tea must be made fresh.
When one is reading or sewing the
light should come from behind. over
the left shoulder. and as soon as the
light begins to get dim the occupation
should Immediately be stopped.
Do not sit facing a glaring light. All
the lights should be covered with
shades, the best color for the eyes be-
ing green or pink. 1t is a great mis-
AXE to read or write in your W
shadow and never read by freight.
Artificial light should also fall over
the left shoulder.
4 certain way to ruin the eyes Is
reading in bed by candleliGht. as this
overstrains the delicate mechanism
which must enlarge or make smaller
the pupil. The Pickering OF the candle
overworks the muscles and eyestrain is
sure to result.
Sunlight May Cause Blindness.
Reading in the bright sunlight has
often been known to cause blindness.
You should either sit with your back
TO the sun or else prop up the book UNI
til it is in the shadow.
People frequently overlook the ne
cessity for washing the eyes. This
should be don at least once n day
with tepid or cold water. II the eyes
are very sensitive n solution or three
grains of boracic acid to an ounce OF
water may he used. The camomile tea
solution mentioned above is also very
good for strengthening the eyes.
The eyes should always be bathed
after returning from a motor drive OF
long walk. as particles of lust accumu-
late round the edges of the eyelids
and work into the corners of the eyes.
Should you eyes constantly burn and
smart and the lids be reddish a cold
water compress laid over the closed
eyes for a few minutes every day will
rest tho organs wonderfully.
Ii any dust blows into ones eyes
ones first thought is to rub the ey,
with ones fingers or handkerchief, II

Perhaps the greatest fur novelty Of

Birdcages From Japan

IF you have a bird in n cage you will
be interested in some charming
ages which come from Japan. They
are made OF fine bamboo splints,
stained mahogany color, no thicker
than the brass wire OF which our cages
are made. and the cages are about the
same size as ours.
One of these cages ia decorated with
little scrolls and reliefs in coral colored
lacquer, and the tour legs of the cage
are tipped with real ivory. The various
small cups fastened about on the in
side OF the cage for water n seed
are bits of real antiquity porcelain. A
little blue figured dish not much big
Der than a saltcellar, with bulging
sides, Is fastened to a bamboo spllnt
across one corner OF the cage; in an
other corner and at a different height
Is fastened a tiny cup of green which
would hold enough water for a day.
There Is something indescribably
picturesque about these cages. One
has but to imagine a little japanese
robin-one of the most attractive in
mates OF the bird stores - hopping
from bamboo perch TO bamboo perch
and q Japanese vase OF iris standing
beneath the cage 10 make the posses
sion Of one OF them seem a necessity.
