Men and women who trust their
ears more than their eyes are not to
be commended. 1t is discomposing
to find men condemned or praised by
those whose ears are ever open to
heard reports"
Those who see deeds performed
have difficulty enough to weigh the
truth accurately. One eyewitness is
better than legion Of hearsaysi
even though all seeing is not believ-
ing.
A thing when heard, rememb er-
strikes less keen
On the spectators mind than when
It's seen.
You see things differently from
spectres and other uncanny images
of a vacuous mind by virtue of the
waves of matter. which radiate from
substance. These waves carried
through space strike your eye. and
this sense is bestirred to give you the
perception of light. If the waves
which radiate from things are too
rapid or too slow, they fail to stir up
the human sensation of sight.
This proves that there are more
things In heaven and earth than was
ever dreamt of or seen by the der
ficient senses of man. Some animals
see more than you do, because their
sense of sight has been created to
catch waves that are faster and
slower than arouse human percep-
ton.
Similarly many insects hear sounds
beyond the ken of man. Air vibra-
tons 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 the spheres, OF mag
netic X-rays, the three rays of
radium, helfun, argon, intra-red
light. molecules, electrons and null

AS the daughter Of professor of
chemistry in Miami College, Caroline
Scott was brought up in a Western
college town. As a child she was
noted for her fun-loving disposition
and her fondness for all outdoor and
boyish sports. When she was twenty
one years old she married one of the
students in the college. This was
Benjamin Harrison, who was only
twenty years old at the time-a
young man who gave little promise
of the eminence which he was to at
tain.
The young couple went to live in
indianapolis in a little three-room
cottage on $500 a year. Caroline was
real helpmeet to the struggling
young man, and the first years of her
marriage were full of hard work and
many priva atoms.
After they had been married for
eight years Harrison went to the
front in the Civil War as a colonel
of an Indiana regiment, and Mrs.

can be effected by proper eating with

important discovery is given to Sur
geon Goldberger, of the Public Health
Service, who, with Director W. r.
Lorenz, OF the Wisconsin Psychiatric
Institute, and several assistants has
been at work for some months in the
study of the problem which this
disease has so long afforded. Pei
lagra has been much in evidence In
our Southern States, but Is more of
a menace in Europe, where it is prev
alert chiefly among the peassntry,
whose food supplies are meagre and
limited in variety. 1t had been at
tributed in Italy TO the universal use
OF cornmeal, the slight fermentation
of which was regarded as probably
accountable for the disease. This was
negatived when pellagra was found
to exist in countries where corn was
not used The discovery therefore
that pellagra is dietary rather than
due TO specific organism Is of world
wide interest, and more important
still is the announcement that the
disease can be cured through proper
feeding.

 In the village of Alexanddrovskoye 5000 miles from home and 15o miles from a raliway station, many of the villagers were prone to regard all exiles as danger ous ana pad, so her prospects for com panionship seemed slight.
 The government gave her eight rubles a month, or A, for living expenses The vigilance of the officials toward her, very constant at hrsts was relaxed al the days went by. She seemed too young and tim Id to escape. Once again the government was being blind It had made her a rev. olutionist; 1t did not know to what lengths she would go. One night three months after her arrival at Alexandrovs koye she was helped by peasants to get safely out of the village.
 She started to walk home but again the peasants came to her aid. For 50 cents they let her ride a long way in their carts, and this became the chief mode of travei, Villages are few and far between in Siberia, and the peasants when going to market often travel day and night without coming to one. So ruts have been built along the road as way stations. In these Marie slept sometimes, but often a whole night was passed on the cart. sleep ing or pushing on.
 She finally escaped to Paris Imprison- ment and exile have made her an tm- passioned revolutionist She returned tc hussia to take part in the uprising of Io years ago, was again sent to Siberia and finally escaped to America.
