Why Our Eyes spars<le..

II you should watch very closely the
eyes Of merry person when you see
them sparkle. You would probably no
tice that the eyelids move up and
down more often under such condi-
tions than ordinarily and II you know
what moving the eyelids up and down
In front of the pupil Of the eye does
you will have your answer, says the
Book Of Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down
1t releases little tear. which spreads
over the eyeball and washes 1t clean
and bright. It does this every time
the eyelid comes down. Now, there Is
something about being merry which
has the effect Of making the eyelids
dance mp and down. and thus every
time the lid comes down the ball of
the eye II washed clean and bright
and gives 1t the appearance Of spark
ling. as We say.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

He was In a ticket office and watched

The man dug Into well worn pock-

"How soon does this train gor' he
inquired.
'In Is minutes" replied the agent.
The man hurried away. Soon he was
back with three silver dollars, with
which he bought q ticket.
"PardOn my curiosity" said the tick
ct seller, ''but how did you get the
money! It isn't q loan, for see you
have disposed Of the 81 bill.r
That's all right" said the man. "No.
