He was sent to the Continental in
Q774) and was active in forming pub
lie opinion. He had gradually acqulr-
ed the reputation of being the Wisest
man in the House.
After Lexington and Concord, con-
gress. on motion of John Adams, Sc
lected Washington commandments
of the army. Refusing any salary, he
accepted the responsibility declaring
his appreciation of his own unworthi-
ness. He assumed command July 2,
.1775.
His courage, prudence, firmness and
perseverance, through defeats, jealous
les, and lack of men and supplies, new
er failed and brought the war to close
by compelling CORVALLIS to surrender
at Yorktown Q7SD. His influence Sc
cured the quiet disbanding of the army.
Washington's deep concern for the
welfare of the country again drew him
into public affairs.
He presided over the Constitutional
convention U7SS) when the time came
to elect a president, he was made first
president of the United States Q7S9).
He served two terms, declining third.
His good judgment was invaluable in
solving many difficult problems of the
new government. In his farewell ad-
dress, he showed his understanding Of
affairs by his advice Ito avoid entang-
ling with foreign allies"
His death was at the close of the
century he had made glorious Q799).
Washington more than any other
man in history is entitled to be known
the Father of his country. AS a SOL
der, he entered upon the war with
Idepreciative modesty. He was not al
ways successful but he fought invaria-
bly, on his own terms. He was contin-
ually surprising the enemy, but was
never surprised himself. Though
sometimes repulsed, he was not beat

cans to officer the troops though many
foreigners volunteered. His keen
foresight, quick perceptions, fertile in
genuity, and impetuous courage were
ever governed by self control, and
nothing but the small resources he had
to deal with has prevented him from
being recognized as one of the great
est military commanders. AS states
man, he was no less worthy. His re
markable skill in the selection of the
heads of departments brought the
chaos of the confederation into a strons

GROOVED EYESTONES.
Found In Tiny Mollusks of the South
American Coasts

South American eyestones are tiny
objects that look like Hat, round bits Of
polished bone Upon one side Of each
stone there are numerous concentric
grooves.
II an eyestone is placed in vinegar or
weak solution of limewater ii be
HAYES very much as il 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 1t 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 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 its shell to escape danger or
to go to sleep that tip fits so snugly
into the mouth of the shell that it af'
fords the creature perfect protection
against its enemies.
The natives collect these little mol
lusks for no other purpose than to gel
the eyestones. Sailors on the vessels
engaged in the fruit trade with those
regions get the stones. bring them tC
the United States and sell them tC
druggists.
The stones are often used for remov.
ing foreign substances from the eye
when the services of physician or ar
oculist are not to be had conveniently
Many persons think that before using
one you must put it in vinegar to give
| 1t life" but the notion is absurd. You
/ need only insert the stone at the outel
corner of the eye with the grooyed side
next to the lid. The pressure Of the
eyeball moves the stone about in the
eye. The grooves collect and retair
the foreign matter. and when the stone
has accomplished its circuit it emery =!
at the end Of the eye next the nose.
There are other eyestones. In thu
head Of the common crawfish there arr
two little bones just behind and be
meath the eyes These bones resemble
the South American eyestones, but thu
fish bones are wholly smooth instead
of being grooved on one side. Thes'
crawfsh bones have been used in tn
west as eyestones. but they are not 81
efficacious as those from South Amer

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

There is form of insanity, so well
recognized that wills have been broken
on the strength of it, that takes the
form of brutality to those OF ones
own family when ut 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 1t 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-
yersely 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 exhausting remorse.
under the terrible consciousness 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

LEAGUE ID MEET
 0N INSURANCE
QUESTIONS OF VITAL INTEREST TO PROPERTY OWNERS DIS
 GUESSED TONIGHT.
Companies Are Seriously coltcmplat- ing the Withdrawal of Bus. asss Un- less Demands Are compliaa With Soon.

There will be a special meeting of all property owners at the Business Mems League tonight for the purpose Of taking up the matter of local in- snrance. There is no longer any doubt but that the insurance companies are seriously considering the withdrawal of business from this city unless some demands they have previously made are met with prompt action.
 Some time ago we called attention 10 he fact that the insurance men were sincere in their demands for bet ter protection from fire, and that re- gardless of the fact that the city had no money, the demands would have to be met.
 Some companies are already refus- ing to carry risks here, it is said and others are willing enough to withdraw their risks, but they are being held through the influence of the local agents, who assure the general agents. and through these the compa. ni2s, hat the demands will be met as promptly as 1t is possible to do SO The interest the agents have in this i matter is to secure such prompt ac- ton from the citizens as will prevent the withdrawal of the companies, which the agents feel at +his time would prove a severe blow to the bns- | mess Of the city or course if the companies wore 10 withdraw. and the property owners were left without ih- | snranee, something then would have to he done and done immediately, and i. is for the purpose Of preventing such a crisis as this that a large at tendance is urged this evening at the meeting to be held at the League headquarters.
