campaign plan in advance OF the fight

II he finds that Willard's defence is

fast, and the more signs he shows
OF firing the faster the pace will

limit Of ten rounds. as I have said be-
fore. But II the battle goes that
far. take IL from me. IL is going to

The Art Of Reading.

The printing press has helped hber-
alize and free the people from tyr
amy. Books and magazines and
newspapers have Ion much to dis
seminate knowledge and bring infor-
nation into the homes of the people.
They have promoted the art Of read
ing and stimulated the desire to read
more.
At the same time h very multi
tude of books and periodicals has Gull
tivated a desultory method of read
ing, a desire to skim Over everything
and digest little or nothing. Classic
writings, the great books of history.
biography and fiction have in a meas
ure gone out of fashion. "SOlid read
ing" as it is called, is not often in
dulged in, and the names of great
writer's, whose productions will live
always, are unfamiliar to many of the
present generation.
The excuse is that we live in q very
rapid age, and there is no time to
read heavy literature. The reason is
that most persons a lost their
taste for history, for biography, for
good reading. They have partaken OF
the froth for so long they have lost

Town Made Famous by Oysters

The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with quaint cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in q
dredger and the mayor made the first
haul of oysters. The mayor and cor.
poration then consumed gin and gin.
ger-bread-a custom which has pre-
vailed since the fishery was first
opened under royal charter In the
reign OF Richard I. A telegram ex-
pressing dutiful devotion was sent to
the king al a luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons SO
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, aud this device still forms the
arms Of the county of Essex. The
Colchester fishery lost all their o n
tinental customers during the war,
but the British public consumed all
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons, and were able
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitalS.

RELIEF IN TEARS

Provision Of Mature 70 Relieve the

and Fit Nervous Organization
to Endure Sorrow,

German statesmen have shed tears
over the hard terms Of peace imposed
upon them by the allies.
1t would not be necessary for one
to be ~hopelessly cynical to be remind
ed by this incident Of the legendary
tears Of the crocodile; though indeed
a sympathetic spirit might be inclined
to rejoice In the spectacle OF such
weeping, for Germany's own good say
Ing with the poet: "She must weep,
or she will die"
There are few physical functions
more familiar than the shedding Of
tears, and there is probably none more
complex and i~nscrutable; none more
strangely mingling spirituality and
science. From the material point of
view tears are nothing but an excre-
don Of salt water from glands of the
eyes. They consist normally Of the
purest of water with a small admixture
Of common salt, or chloride Of sodium.

abnormal conditions Of the body they
contain other chemicals. Thus one
suffering from poisoning with salts
Of antimony may shed tears contain
ing that chemical, so that tears them
selves are poisonous: and dlabetic pa
tents shed tears containing sugar.
From another point of view tears
are manifestations Of emotion and al
ways spring from the heart. That Is
to say n does o weep because Of
the mental processes of the brain but
because Of the feelings Of the heart.
Even II the tears be hypocritical and
summoned up for an i%nsincere purpose
they are produced by the brains work
ing back to the heart and making an
appeal to its emotion. An eminent &C
tor when asked how he was able to
shed real tears at will replied that he
did so by calling to remembrance his
father who was dead and whom he
greatly loved.
It is to be noticed. too, that the
nervous excitation which results In
tears is caused by grief, but not near
ly so much by actual pain. I'm the days
before the use Of anesthetics." says q
great surgical authority, II have had
patients who were undergoing opera
tons faint; I have heard them cry out
and scream until they made he by

Again, it is observed that tears arr

That value is not merely In the fact
that their low gives relief, but still

sensibility and that the nervous organ
