Tears Brighten the Eyes.

There is a very widespread belief that the process of crying tends to weaken the eyes and rob them of brightness. Actually, the truth lies in the opposite direction, according to an Oculist.
 The shedding of tears (prOvided that the weeping is not oyerdOne) is one of the greatest aids to softness and brightness of the eyes.
 Ina explanation is this: The eyes need a bath just as our bodies do. There Is a certain quality in the tear liquid" which does not exist in water. and that ls why tear bath Is of much greater value than a mere bathing with cold or warm water.
 There is a possibility that one of the reasons for the superiority of femi- nine eyes in point of limpidity and brightness over the male optics is the tendency of the gentler sex to indulge in more or less frequent outbreaks of tears.
 The moral Is that If you want to have what novelists call "eyes like the tishpOOls of Heshoon," give the eyes tear bath at least once a week

HIS DESTINATION

MT. Herbert Hoover, the secretary of commerce. soon after he came to office had long discussion with a man who held the same job years before. They went particularly in- to the problems of government re- organization, pulled the subject back and forth for hours. When the conference was over the visitor said to MT. Hoover:
 "I must say that we seem to be in a good deal the same position of two negro soldiers, who, after the signing of the armistice, were talk ing about what they would do when they got back home.
 ''One said he was going to get himself long-tailed coat, a high hat, patent leather shoes. spats n everything. and he was going down to Georgia and show the whse folks that he was as good as they were.
 ''The second soldier said he was going to get all them fine clothes just like his friend and that he, too, was going back to the South land.
 "'An' what yo' goin' do when yo' get home?" asked the first troop CT.
 |" I's goin' to yo' funeral was the response. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The Power of Silence.

There Is nothing in this world Whlcn works to greater advantage than to be silent. No one likes to be ignored. IL hurts like the mischief to have an an tagonlst throw up a barricade against which we have no power. The mo- ment the other fellow is silent, that minute all detailed plans of attack are worthless. The only thing one can do is to be silent also, and there you are! Though but an armistice, the action of conflict is over.
 The one who refuses to converse may be one you have no use for. Still It bothers you. You are annoyed, your pride Is injured at the realization that the one you hold in scorn has the op- portunity to ignore you. The moment you resort to tantalizing banter you acknowledge the final defeat If you fall in line and initiate you compli- ment The secret is to steal the thun- der first.
 If one you love keeps silent it hurts twice Once because you have no idea how deeply you may have offended to bring down upon your head such pun ishment, and again because the loved one could ignore you. Just think over the conquering points of this silent weapon.-New York Mail.

 These deep marks on our continent quickly filled with water. Scarcely had the frightened bear bounded away, when the beautiful lakes Superior. Michigan. Huron, Ontario and Erie appeared full to the brim. They are old as the first bears tracks.
 The creator now hastened to make rain At sight of the water, filling the lakes. he began to fear. lest the soil again fall in a heap; and he caused the rain 10 fall from the sky.
