obstrueted Vision.

An old merchant who resided in Ire
land had glass eye, which II was his
custom to take out and deposit in n
tumbler Of water each night before
retiring. He awoke one morning very
thirsty, having on the previous night
drank not wisely but too well, and by
mistake drank from the tumbler which
contained his artificial optic, thereby
swallowing same.
His wife, fully aroused and greatly
alarmed at the semi choking condition
of her spouse, called to the valet, who
was an freshman, to render assist
ance. @
Pat having promptly arrived, was
requested to look down his masters
throat to see what caused the obstruc-
ton. Proceeding to investigate he
saw the eye In question lodged some
distance down the passage. Meantime

Four bulldogs in stone represent
student life at Yale. The bulldog has
been Old ELS mascot for 10 these
many years. One Of the dogs, with a
wrinkled brow, wears spectncles. He
is the student. Another bulldog, brow
not so much wrlnkled, wears a foot
ball players helmet, noseplece with
its end gripped In his teeth. He Is
the hero Of the gridlron. Another
bulldog wears soldiers campaign hat,
depicting what Yale men have done
In the various wars. Sun another
bulldog has cap and gown, repre-
sentlng the completion OF the college
course. OF all the carvings found,
these are the four most interesting, al

TlBETAN MENU NOT VARIED
Majority Of the Population subslsts
Almost Exclusively on Barley
Meal and Butter Tea"

Tibetans live almost the year round
on two things, parched barley meal,
called "tsamba," and "butter tea," ac-
cordlng to DIR. A. L. shelton, writing
In the National Geographic Magazine.
Tsamba Is made by parchlng barley
and then grinding 1t into very fine
-four. 1t becomes sort of emergency
ration, for, being parched, It requires
no cooking.
In preparing the other principal ar
ticle of their diet the Tibetans first
make strong liquid by boiling the
coarse Chinese tea, which they prize
most highly. The concoction is
strained into churn and to 1t are
added lump of butter more or less
stale, and handful of salt. The
queer mixture Is then churned into
an emulsion.
The typical meal among the valley
folk of Tibet, and among many of
the nomads as well. begins with the
drinking of two Or three cupfuls of
butter tea.
AS the Tibetan DRINKS his hot but
ter tea, he continually blows bach
from the rim Of his bowl the Aim
of butter that rises to the top. AZ
ter several bowls Of the beverage
have been drunk, there is consid-
cradle accumulation OF butter. The
bowl is then haif-Alled with the tea
emulsion. Into the hot liquid, rich
in butter fat, tsamba is now poured,
to be kneaded by the fingers into
Jumps and eaten.
Knives, forks, and spoons are I'M
known in T1bet-all eating is done
with fingers. The wooden bowl is
carried in the sheepskin garment next
to the skin, and each time after being
used 1t is licked clean with the tongue
and replaced in the garment.

Paper 1871 inches long by a little

foolscap, and this Is the story of it's

the paper used by the English gov

Of Charles II, having occasion to
use some paper for dispatches, some
of this government paper was brought
to him.

the stamp, he inquired the meaning

ing Plan.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. "a. - Gov. Ed
win P. Morrow Saturday gave out a
statement indorsing the plan of hold
ing the 1920 tobacco crop for a better
price. The Governors statement was
made after conference with COM
mittee of the tobacco growers ap-
pointed at Fridays meeting in Lexing-
ton.
The growers also discussed with
Mr.. Morrow and Charles l. Dawson,
Attorney General, the effect of the
antitrust law on the organization and
were assured that they were safely
within the law. This question had
been brought up at the Lexington
meeting.
In his statement Mr.. Morrow said:
"If the farmer or tenant sells his
crop at the price now offered he will
not receive sufficient. money to meet
his obligation, settle his accounts at
stores and banks or make payment
otherwise incident to growing the
crop.
81 believe in the right and neces-
sity of the tobacco growers of Ken
lucky to form a voluntary organiza-
ton for their mutual protection, for
the purpose Of making business plans
for marketing their crops, and for
establishing and creating conditions
that will bring about actual and hon
est competition in the purchase of
their crop.
1.-THE farmers of the state now find
themselves, at selling time, without
any plans for the marketing of their
crops under competitive conditions.
