Similarly many insects hear sounds
beyond the ken of man. Air vibra-
tions slower or faster than those you
can hear are heard by birds, butter
flies and bugs. The senses of man do
not tell him of ultraviolet rays, Of the
music. of II the spheres, of magnetic,
x-rays. the three rays of radium. hell
um, argon, infra-red light. molecules.
eIectrons and multitude Of real things,
which are now known to mankind but
only by indirect means.
Thoughtless people full Of sentiment
and emotions are prone to believe these
hidden things are supernatural, SUPER
normal, or communications from the
dead. when, as a matter Of fact they
are of the same class as things seen,
felt and heard. 1t is mans inefficient,
few and restricted senses. which are at
fault. Some day a "mutition'' or sud-
den super-man will appear among hu-
man races, and like Abraham or a new
rose he will marry and give rise to a
pure race of supermen with other senses
besides those of present-day humanity.
Meanwhile, you must safeguard as

If strong light is received into the eye
for a short time, 1t Is not a serious

the eye surpasses in power the injury.
If, however, the intense light lasts too

TINES BEDTIME STORY
TOTTIE PLAYS WITH THE BOYS.
By FLORENCE E. YODER.

- RS. TABBY was clean
NU housekeeper, so she swept
every speck of dirt up from
the floor and put it care
fully in the coal hod before she left
the room. She put her paw to her
back as she Strengthened up from
the dustpan: I'm not as young as I
used to be-" she said with sigh,
1T is high time that some of my
kitty girls and boys were helping
me about the house work. There
is no reason why / should not call
Tottie this moment and have her
DUST for me"
She went to the door and called
Tottie, who was playing in the yard
with the boys. Tommie and Blinkie,
At her cry Tottie came running up.
and Mrs. Tabby saw that the tears
were standing in her eyes. Those
boys always hurt me" she began
The Washington times., 1914-10-01

play in the house, and the kitty
whom she caught was to do the dust
ing. So they pushed her whiskers
back carefully. and tied the hand
kerchief tightly about her eyes.
Then they whirled her around three
times. and left her standing in the
middle OF the floor with her paws
outstretched.
Tottie stood for a moment, listen
ing, then started to grope for the
kitty boys. She had not heard them
whispering together. and did not
know that they had left the house.
For that is just what they did. They
went out and shut the door behind
them. and then peeked through the
window.
Tottie poked and called: then she
begged: then she began to grow
angry: and at last she made such
terrible noise that Mrs. Tabby came
running. Tottie could not see her
enter the room, and she thought the
movement had come from one OF the
BOYS. There you are" she cried.
Il never saw such a sneak; but

have you this time" AS she finished
speaking. she made a grab for Mrs
Tabby. The old lady cat was willing
to be grabbed-to tell the truth. she
had started to grab for Tottic as
that kitty spoke her last word.
When Totue felt her big mother
instead of the kitty boy she had
hoped TO hold. she gave a scream
and tried to pull away. but Mrs.
Tabby held her fast. Not so quick
ly. Tottie,' she said, trying to keep
her whiskers from wiggling, for she
wanted TO laugh. Il am it, and /
have caught you. Now. who tied
your eyes up?"
She took off the bandage as she
spoke. and Tottie looked about her.
why. they're not here" she cried.
Mrs Tabby laid her carefully across
her lap. Don't worry, Tottie,' she
said. as she raised her paw, they
will come home some time"
Two faces disappeared at that mo-
ment from the window. and two
kitties skipped away. But, as she
said. they had to go home for their
supper!

The courier who brought the letter with
