DIDN'T YIELD TO TREATMENT
But Young Physleisn's Concern over
Patients Eye Was Really
Wholly Unnecessary.

From one Of the larger hospitals In
Kansas City comes the story GUAR
anteed under the foods and drugs
act) of young doctor ana an equally
young and well.trained nurseS who
collaborated in the conscientious
treatment Of the left eye Of patient
who had been sent 10 the hospital for
an operation.
II IL said that, following the opera
ton, The pupil ~ the patients left ego
failed TO dilate In accordance to In
struetions IN the hook, and the young
physician became somewhat con.
cerned AS to just Why the pupil was
expected 10 grow larger at the time
is not known TO the layman, but the
fact remains that the doctor prescribed
I'M eye bath and instructed the at
tending nurse to apply 1t every half
hour throughout the night. After the
eye had been bathed, the lid was
pulled down and massaged thoroughly.
And So every half hour, the nurse
carried out the doctors instructions.
When daylight came bandage WAS
placed over the optic to protect II
from the strong rays OF the morning
light.
At nine o'clock the young doctor en-
tered the patients room and asked
the man how his eye felt
"Well,' he replied, ut feels as good
as 1t has for long while. You see, II
has been glass eye ever since was
five years old."--Kansas City Times.

SNOW PENITENTS or ANDES
Remarkable Illusion Which Is Brought
About by the Action OF the
Elements.

In the higher Andes OF Argentina
and Chile, within Il very limited re-
glon, where there is polar climate IN
which no human beings can dwell the
so-called Snow penitents assemble.
The traveller comes Unexpectedly
upon great throng OF them, gathered
Oh the barren slope of mountain
peak. Seen from a little distance,
they have the appearance OF crowd
of hooded monks, all in white and
kneeling In serried lines. II Is re-
markable Illusion, for the monks are
not human at all, nor alive. Each one
of them is block OF snow and Ice.
One theory OF this phenomenon Is that
the fallen snow may be Of uneven
density and that the powerful rays Of
an overhead sun first melt those parts
OF ii around the denser spots, leaving
the latter still frozen, to assume the
form Of snow men.
AS the snow continues to melt, water
trickling down from the blocks may
help to deepen the surrounding hol-
lows, While prevented from accumuat-
Ing in the latter by the slope Of the
mountains. The arrangement of the
white figures in rows may be explained
by the slope, the water all draining in
enc direction. This, however, Is only
one of several theories offered In ex-
PLANTATION of the "Snow Of the Peni-
tents" as it is called in that part OF
the world.

The Castle o, Lewes.

The noble castle Of Lewes, In Eng
land. now acquired for the nation, has
history going back to the fierce days
of the Saxon inyasions. In AthelstaHs
day it possessed two mlnts, and tha
Lewes silver coin was recognized
coin of the realm. The conqueror
gave the town to William Of Warren,
who found a fortress ready to hand,
much like that he had left behind him
in Normandy.
Lewes, which has been famous for
long years for bonflres and fireworks
used to persecute Quakers and others ,
thus in 1859 a party of Quakers were
assembled for worship on the castle
green, when rude people, fell upon
them with swords, guns and pixies, and
assalled them with squibs. So squib-
bling is proved to be one of the most
ancient institutions Of the town,

Possibility of Saving Coal.

An ordinary passenger locomotive
consumes q pound Of fuel for every
SO feet ii travels. Each unnecessary
stop, made with heavy freight or
passenger train represents fuel loss
of from 800 to 7J0 pounds of coal. de-
pending on the weight Of the train,
the length Of the stop and the grade
conditions. A brake-line air leak on
a train of 80 freight cars has been
known to cause loss OF as much as
o,5A0 ponds of coal in ten-hour
period. The loss of coal each time u
modern locomotive pops off for five
minutes is about - pounds. If loco
motive tircmen were TO save little
more than one shovelful Of coal out
Of ench ton used, the total saving
would he equal to nearly one per cent
OF all the coal handled. Floyd w.

OLD GOBBLER KEPT PEACE

Unlike the ordinary run of turkeys.
Ben, a mammoth bronze gobbler that
one Of our contributors owned, had Il
great deal of sense. One day. our

entire flock OF turkeys invaded our
farmyard and soon started free for
alp' fight with our birds, The two old
gobblers engaged In combat; young
gobblers fought young gobblers; and
old turkey hens ciashed
A week later one of the women OF our
family saw the same flock coming
down the road, and ours going across
the farmyard apparently to meet them.
She turned back into the house TO get
her sunbonnet and the broom, but
when she went out not one Of the
home flock was In sight. A moment
later Ben emerged alone from behind
the big straw stack in the barnyard,
crossed the yard and met the intrud-
ers. Selling the leader firmly by the
neck, he marched him up the road to-
ward his home. The visitors nuiner-
Gus family evidently too much aston
ished TO do anything else, meekly fol-

Looking behind the straw stack, she
saw Ben's flock crouched perfectly still
In the straw. Not one Of them stirred
or made sound until Ben returned
and led them into the farnyard,
where he strutted proudly before them

VALUE or DEEP BREATHING
Comprehension OF Its Immense
Importance.

Singers are not the only persons who
need TO learn to breathe deeply; the
practice Is good for every one. say the
neurologists, and they add that we Of
the western lands have paid altogether
too little attention TO correct respira-
ticn and still less to the good effects Of
deep breathing.
In the Orient they look very differ
entity upon II and lay great stress upon
its constant and regular practice. The
eastern philosophers teach that the
mental powers, seIf-control, clear VI
sion. happiness and even morals are
dependent In great measure upon this
| practice Of deep breathing.
II includes the play Of the whole res
piratory apparatus every part OF the
lungs, every air cell. every respiratory
| muscle, is 20 be brought into action. In
modified breathing only part of the
cells are flied with oxygenated air,
and the muscles are only partly EN-
| ployed.
TO breathe deeply requires that one
| should stand erect and inlale steadily
| through the nosrIs. First sill the low
or part OF the lungs then the middle
part by pushing out the lower ribs and
(, breast bone. and finally the higher
! part by eleyating the chest. Hold the
breath for few seconds and exhale
| slowly through the mouth.
Deep breathing promotes a sort OF
massage of the internal organs and
produces soothing effect on the
nerves.
