CHAPTER XIV.—(Ctintlnued) Fifteen Dollars a Week MEN who do such things have something In them that the mon back East Imve lost, l call it Hit' romantic spirit or the pioneer spirit and 1 say that a man who has it won't cure whether he's living in Maine or California und that whatever tlie conditions ure he will overcome them. 1 know that we three would huve lived on almost rice alone us the Japanese do before we'd have cried quit. That wus because we wero tackling this problem not us Easterners but as Westerners; not us poor whites i>iii us emigrants, Men on a ranch stand for worst- things thun we had and huve losfl of a future to dream about. So I repeat that to my mind the hmise details don't count here for any more than they did In the lives of the original New England settlers, or the forty-niners, or those on homesteads or in Alaska today. However, I'll put them in and I'll take the mouth of May as un example—the Ilrst month after 1 was made foreman. It's fairer to give the Items for a month. They ure us follows: Oatmeal, .17. Com meal, .10, About one-tenth barrel flour, .65. Potatoes, .86. Rice, .08. Sugar, .40. White beans, .16. Pork, ._0. Molasses, .10. Onions, .23. Lard, .50. Apples, .30. Soda, etc., .14. Soap, .20. Cornstarch, .10. Cocoa shells, .05 Eggs, .75. Butter, 1.12. Milk, 4.48. Meat< 1.60. Fish, .GO. Oil, .20. Yeast cukes, .06. Macaroni, .09. Crackers, .06. Total $12.75. This makes an average of three dollars and nineteen cents a week. With a fluctuation of perhaps twenty-five cents either way Ruth maintained this pretty much throughout the year now. It fell off a llttlo In the summer and increased a little in the winter. It's Impossible lo give any closer estimate than this. Even this month many tilings were used which were left over fronr the week previous and. on the other bund, some things on thla list like molasses and sugar und cornstarch went towards reducing the total of the month following. This left say a dollar nnd seventy- five cents a week for such small incidentals as are not accounted for here but chiefly for sewing material, bargains in cloth remnants and such things as were needed towards the repair of our clothes as well us for such new clothes us we had to buy from time to time. I think we spent more on shoes than we did clothes, but Uuth by patronising the sample shoe shops always came home With B three or four dollar pair for which she never paid over tWO dollars ami sometimes as low as a dollar and a half. Thc boy and I bought our shoes at the same reduction nt bankrupt sales. We gave our neighbors this tip and saw them save a good mnny dollars in tins way. On the whole these peoplo were not good buyers; they never looked ahead but bought jnly Whetl they were in urgent need and then bought at the cheapest price regardless of quality. They would pay two and two and a half for shoes thnt wouldn't Inst them any time at all. Whntever Ruth bought she considered the quality first und tin* price afterwards. Then, too. she often ran across something she didn't need at tlu- time but which was a good bargain; she would buy this and put tt away. She was aide to buy many things which were oul of season for half what thc same things would cost six months later. It was very difficult to make our neighbors B*afl Ihf advantage of this practice and their blindness cost them many a good dollar. Wo also had lbo advantage of our neighbors In knowing how to take good care of our olothOS, Tin* average mail was careless and slovenly. In a week a new suit would he spotted with grease, Wrinkled, ami alt out of shapi-. He never though! <»r pressing It. cleaning it "r ut putting it away carefully when through wearing it. The women were no hotter aboul their own clothes. This was also tr *f their Shoes. They might shine lli.-m once ■ month. Imt generally they let llam go until tiny dried up and cracked, in Ihls way Ihelr new clothes soon became workday clothe**., Ihelr new shoes, old shoes, and uh sueh they lusted a very few months. Dick and 1 might hav*- done a little better thnn uur neighbors even without Ruth to Wfitch us. but we certainly would not have had the training we ill*] have. Shoes had to be cleaned nnd either oiled or ihlned before going to bed. if It rained we WOK OUr old pairs Whether It was Sunday or md or else we stayed at home. Bvery time Dick or I pul on our good clothes wo were ns carefully Inspected ns troops on parade. If a grease spot was found. It was removed then and there. if ,i button was missing or n bit of fringe showed or a hole the size of a pin heud was found we had to wait iiiiiii the defect was remedied Every Sunday morning lho boy pressed both his suit and mine and every nighl we bad to hang our coats over o chair nnd fold our trousers. If we were careless about It the little woman WithOUl a word "Imply got up nnd did thom over again herself. ThOlO mav seem like small matters, tuit the result was thnt we nil nf Ul kepi looking ship-shape nnd our clothes ] lasted. When wo finally did finish with them they weren't good for any- | thing but old rags and even then ltuth used thom about her housework. 1 ! figured roughly that Uuth kept us well 1 dressed on about half what it cost most of our neighbors, und yet we appeared to bo twice as Well dressed ; as any of them. Of course we had a good many things to start with when we came down here, imt our clothing bill didn't go up much even during the last yeur when our original stock was very nearly exhausted, She accom- 1 pllshed this result about one-hulf by I long-headed buying, and one-half by i ber carefulness and her skill with the ' needle. To go back to tlie mutter of food, I'll i copy off a week's hill of fare during tills month. Ruth has written it out ; for me. Vou'll notice that it doesn't ! vary very much from the earlier ones.

To a man accustomed to a beefsteak breakfast, fried hasty pudding may seem a poor substitute nnd griddle cakes may seem well enough to tape** oft* with, but scarcely stuff for a full meal. All I say is. have those things well made, have enough of them and then try it. If a man has a sound digestion and a good body I'll guarantee that such food will not only satisfy him but furnish him fuel for the hardest kind of physical exercise. 1 know berause I've tried it. And though to some my lunches may sound light, they averaged more In substance and variety than the lunches of my foreign fellow-workmen. A hunk of bread nnd a bit of cheese was often all they brought with them. Dick thrived on It too. The elimination of pastry from his simple lun- clieons brought hack the color to his cheeks uml left him hard as nails. I've road since then many articles on domestic economy and how on a few dollars a week a man can make many fancy dishes which will fool him into the belief that lie is getting the same things which before cost him a great many more dollars, Their object appears to be to give such a variety that the man will not notice a change. Now this seems to me all wrong. What's lhe use of clinging to Ihe notion thut a man lives to oat? Why not get down to bed lock at one,, -nul face the fact lhat a man doesn't need the bill of fare of a modem holel oi any substitute Tor it" A fi'w simple foods ami plenty of ihem is enough.

The pioneer of today doesn't need any more than lhe pioneer of a hundred years ago. To me this talk thnt i return to the customs of our ancestors involves a lowering of the standard of living is all nonsense; it means nothing but a simplifying of the standard of living. If that's a return to barbarism then I'm glad to be a barbarian and I'll say tliere never were three happier barbarians than Ruth, the boy and myself. CHAPTER XV. The Gang If I'd been making tlve dollars a day at lliis time, 1 wouldn't have moved from the tenement. In the Ilrst place as far as physical comfort went I was never better off. We had all tbe room we needed. During tbe winter we bad used tlie living room as a kitchen and dining room just as our forefathers did. We economized fuel in this way iind Ruth kept lhe rooms spotless. We had no fires in our bedrooms and did not want any. We all of us slept with our windows wide open. If we had had ten mnre rooms we wouldn't have known what lo do with them. When we had a visitor we received him in the kitchen. Some of our neighbors took boarders and also slept in the kitchen. I don't know as 1 should want to do that, but at the same time many a family lives in a one-room hut in the forest afler this fashion. By outsiders it's looked upon as rather romantic. It isn't considered a great hardship by the settlers themselves. Then we had the advantage of our roof and with summer coming on we looked forward to Ihe garden und the joy of the warm starry nights. Wo hail some wonderful winter pictures, too, from tbat same roof. It was worth going up tliere to see the house tops after a heavy snow storm. If 1 had wanted to move I .could have done only one of two things; isted, All three of us were enjoying more advantages than we had ever dreamed would be ours. My Italian was improving from day to day. I (■(mid handle mortar easily and naturally and point a joint as well as my Instructor. 1 could build a true square pier of any size from one brick to twenty. I could make a square pigeon-hole corner or lay out a brick footing. And I was proud of my accomplishment. But more interesting to me than anything else was the opportunity I now had as a foreman to test the value of the knowledge of my former fellow workmen which I had been slowly acquiring. I was anxious to sec if my ideas were pure theory or whether they were practical. Tliey had proven practical at any rate ia securing my own advance. This had come about through no such pull as Rafferty's. It was the result of nothing but my intelligent and conscientious work in the ditch and among the men. And this in turn was made possible by the application of the knowledge t picked up and used as I had tho chance. It was only because 1 had shown my employers that I was more valuable as a foreman than a eotnmon laborer that I was not still digging. I had been able to do this because having learned from twenty different men how to handle a crowbar, for Instance, I hnd from lime to time been able to direct the men with whom I wns working as at the start I myself had been directed by Anton'. Anton' was still digging because that was all he knew. 1 had learned other things. 1 had learned how to handle Anion*. 1 had no Idea that my efforts were being watched, I don't know now how I was picked out. Except, of course, that it must have been because of tbe work I did. (To be continued) ROBERT BURNS, POET OF NATURE Burns* poetry possesses, in a higher degree perhaps than any olher, that touch of Nature lhat makes all men kin. Its Intense humanity, uot less than Its inspiration, appeals direct to "1 believe in giving every man a square deal. -Theodore Roosevelt -From Harper's Weekly either gone hack into the suburbs or taken a more expensive flat up town.

Ills phrases, his metaphors, his verses have become part of the bralii-malter of the Scot, ami ii is instinctive to phrase certain sentiments as Burns phrased them." In other words. Burns epitomized not simply un age. but a nntlonul genius. While. In his life.story, from the little white cot nl A Noway, through Edinburgh to Dumfries, he himself experienced many of (hi* processes lhal have moulded the destinies of his race, by the maule of his Muse his feet among (be furrows, but his brow beyond the stars be reigns supreme as Scotia's darling bard. WHAT SCOTLAND OWE8 TO BURNS All that Scotland hus suffered, her romantic history, and the manhood of her people would have disappeared had il nol been for Robert Burns. He preserved for ever the remembrance of iin* antique customs, tin* old national piety nml observances of the Scottish peasantry, lie interpreted their lives, thoughts, feelings, and manner*, us tbey hnd never been Interpreted before, lie imi only sympnlhlied with ihe Wan Is, lhe trials, the Joys and sorrows of their obscure lot, but lie expressed them in the traditional forms of his country's poetry, and in language made musical by ids instinctive genius. Burns was not only the Interpreter of Scot land's peasantry, he was the restorer of her nationality. He began to write after a century which had seen the extinction of Scotland's Parliament aud the removal uf all symbols of her royalty, and in which her ancient spirit had nearly been quenchel. While his contemporaries were .uixlous Unit their writing:* should not betray tbelr nationality, Burns chose for hia subject that Scottish life which they ignored, and expressed it in that vernacular which they despised, and touching the springs of long-forgotten emotions, he brought back to the hearts of ids countrymen a lide of patriotic feeling to which tliey had long been strangers. How deeply he was in earnest is shown in his impassioned and unparalleled popular songs, conceived ln a mind haunted by the traditions of Wallace and the heroic efforts of Bruce; songs whicli re-awukeiied in the Scots it fervid, intense patriotism of which Ibey are now so justly proud. Scotchmen owe it to Burns thnt their old kingdom did not merely sink into a province. He first turned the tide which Scott carried to full flood, and whicli Is expressed lu the love with Which Scotchmen today cherish tholr country. BY-PLAY IN WAR The annals of war offer more lhan one Instance of the fad that, with all Us horrors, war at times has a comic element, Armed forces relax occasionally in friendly controversy, as Is evidenced by u curious Incident related by the British o lllc or, General Sir Duuiel Lysous. This occurred during the Crimean War while the British forces lay before Sebastopol. R sooms that among the soldiers there was much speculation ns to the relative merits of certain English and Russian guns. One day during the armistice a Russian officer of artillery came through ihe llritish lines to see the olllcer 111 command of the Knglish artillery. "Vour 'Jenny,'" Bald the Muscovite, "your elxty*eight-pounder is a line gun, but we huve one as goml In the embrasure. We should like to have a fair ilia*! betwetn the two." Accordingly arrangements were made that at noon the next day nil other tiring should cease and lhal thc two guns should be put to tho test. At the hour Used a large number of officers were assembled to view the contest. The British sailors of the gun detachment removed their caps and siiluted tlie Russians, who, in turn, saluted the Britishers. The Knglish gun as the senior was allowed to fire first. Rs projectile struck the side of ilie Russian embrasure. Then the Russians returned a good shot. The third shot from "Jenny" went entirely through the enemy's embrasure The Britishers, thinking that the victory was theirs, jumped upon the parapets and cheered lustily. They were, howover. crowing too soon, for a minute later the Russian gun came again with some exceptionally clever shots. "Jenny" got a bad thrust in her side, which, however, did no material damage. At tbe seventh shot from the British gun the Russian was knocked clean over. Whereupon the British this time cheered with more reason, and the Russians, mounting Ihe parapet, took off their cups in acknowledgment of defeat. This finished the gun duel and more serious hostilities were resumed. CONFUSION OF NAMES OF COMMERCIAL WOODS No branch of forestry requires the Investigation of men of science more than lhe history of structural characters of the commercial timber trees. It Is lamentable to see so many talented men devote their entire lives to lhe study of small groups of relatively unimportant plants ot the desert or the ocean, while we are still ignorant even of tbe botanical names of a good many trees yielding timber of commerce. A number of the trees of Wesl Africa, whhh produce a targe percentage of the choices! timber used 111 England uml In thc United States for furniture and high-grade cabinet work, are now known In the trade by no olher name except mahogany, when In reality they do nol belong to the mahogany family nt all. Cocobola from Central America has been Imported Into Great Rrltain for over a hundred years, but today no one seems to know what tree yields this wood. A number of examples of this kind could be cited In regard to Important limbers which conic from tbc tropics. This luck of knowledge is (he chief reason why so many different w Is which bear the slightest resemblance imve been given th** same common or trade name, Such a duplication of vernacular names has produced among the w Is of comim-rce u confusion and brought nbout a mass of errors lhat II appeal** almost hopeless to expect to unravel them, For Instance, (here are now more than fifty different woods fold under (he compre- heiulve iia.le name mahogany; there are more lhan twenty-live referred to under the name cedar: there are more than a dozen rosewoods; equally ns mnny sntln woods, Iron woods, nnd box woods, not to mention a number of beef woods, eboliy woods, snudnl u Is, teak woods, i:iim woods, walnuts, aud u host of others, named according to (Infancy of (he shippers and importers. The duplication of names bus become sn complicated thai dealers are now Unable to know Whal kind of mahogany, cedar, walnut, or gum to supply when their customers order woods Ity these Haines. Timber constitutes a very Important product of lIn* foreign commerce of Great Britain. To many the number of different kinds of woods Imported will be ii mailer of great surprise, bill numerous as Ihey are now ihey ure few compared wllh those which Will be Introduced Into (he American marketh when the forest resources of Africa nnd South America become more generally available. Nol u month passes hut what some Importer adds another mn- hoi-iiuy, cedar, or rosewood to the bum list of fiii.''ituies. public attention nnd (he Invottlgntlon of scientific men are being gradually directed to this branch of work, and it is hoped that something can be accomplished which will prove helpful in protecting the purchasers from getting the spurious kinds when genuine sandal wood, rosewood, or mahogany is specified. COST OF FLAGS FOR A NAVY On every vessel of the United States navy, from tlie monster battleship to the tiniest tug, is stowed away nearly a ton of flags, which go to make up tlie number each vessel is required te curry for use on different occasions. About half of this vast pile of flags consists of emblems of foreign nations. The making of the flag equ-ipment for the navy costs more lhan $60,000 a year. Each ship carries forty-three foreign flags, which are thirteen feet wide by twenty-five feet long. As a ship's quota of fiags is renewed every three yeurs lt is no small undertaking lo keep them replenished, and to this end Uncle Sam keeps a large ling-making establishment running al full time tho year around at the Brooklyn navy-yard. Employed there are some hundred skilled needlewomen working, cutting the different colored bunting into the required widths and sewing them together. Making the United States flag Is not a dlllli-ull Job. Imi the making of some of the foreign emblems is quite a different matter and (his is whnt most ot' the work at the llag establishment consists of. Take, for example, thc (lag of San Salvador, in the background there is a belching volcano "pouring forth Its lava aud white smoke, ou tin* sides of (he mountain is the groan foliage mid shrubbery, whilo directly In (be foreground Is a tranquil sea of sapphire blue. Above tho volcano Is a rising sun set in a design of overflowing cornucopias uml a diamond frnin Which Ho- rays are BO I titillating ill every dlrcclloll. To Iho left and rlghl of lhe belching mountain arc draped In vnrlcd design huu tiers which hear a similarity lo the Stars and Stripes. Around the whole concent rat ion Is a wreath of cactus branches lovingly embracing the volcano, while at the top the date of the country's Independence Is Inscribed. To malic a Mai; of this description costs thc government $ri...r,o, and when one of these flags is placed on each ship of the navy every three years it can be readily seen that the Insignificant little republic to the south of us is really costing the taxpayers of the country more than has ever been thought of. Then thero Is the flag of China, with its long, crawling, mythical, blood-rea dragon, To make this emblem costs about Mft- However, the flag of the,, Republican Government of China is more simple, and should this "stay pul" tbe United Stales will probably save $UU on each flag of China that It makes hereafter. The flag of Costn Rica, with Its scenic beauty of mountains and sea, is another extravagant emblem, costing something like $50 to complete. So It seems that the smaller thc nation the more costly Its flag, The largest (tag 'made by the Unilod Slnics Is lhe Knsign No. 1, which measures Ihirty-slx feet long and nineteen feet Wide. The cost of this monster is $40 or thereabouts. The President's flag, while not the largest by nny means, tnkes longest to make, requiring the labor of one person for ;i month to complete it. It is of simple design, being a blue field with the coat of arms of the United States in the centre. The life-sized eagle with oulstretched wings and other emblems are all hand-embroidered and Involve the most patient work. Thc embroidery silk used on this flag, which is fourteen by ten foet, costs i'.> ii pound. Uncle Sam's flag emporium is In charge of his tlagiiinster. whose business, among other things, is to test all the bunting bought by the establishment, one day a sample lot of bunting Is soaked and washed In sonp and fresh water; the next day the same process Is followed wilh salt water, lt Is (hen exposed to the weather for ten days, thirty hours of which time must be In the sunlight. This Is termed the eolor-and-fadlng test. Another (est Is always made for the tensile strength. A strip of the warp two inches wide is placed In a machine and must stand a pulling strain of sixty- live pounds, while (wo inches of the filling must stand a forty-five pound strain. All over tbe floor of the workshop are arranged chalk lines and metal markers, by Ihe aid of which tbe fiags are cut out. Large stripes and cortain designs tan be more conveniently studied this way. The sewing Is done by women on machines run by electric molars. li is un interesting sight to see tho big mschlno at work cutting out stars for the United Stales flags. It is (he only machine of Us kind In the lulled States, It consists of a plunger fitted wllh steel knives the size of (he star wanted and wllh a single downward stroke II lays on a table one hundred stars. There are eight different sizes of slurs used for the different flags, and of COUrtO the machine Is provided with eight different dies for the purpose. Until recent yeurs these stars were cut out by bund, which wan a long ami tedious task, but now a day's work of the machine will supply stars for a week's work on ling***. CHINESE VIEW OF MILLINERY Speaking (o a Chinese gentleman tho other duy, mi Englishman asked him if tho Chinese Indies will emulate tho men and go In for Western headgear. In reply he beamed a smile most childlike and bland. PrOSVOd for something more definite, he remarked: "Did you not know that it Is a well-known fact among the Chinese thut Ihe reason so many European husbands look harassed nnd cnrerldden nml lhe further reason why so many of your young men refrnln from marriage is this very question of millinery, Ladles' hats cost so much thut they spell ruin nud so wo Chinese have told our women folk lhat we absolutely forbid them to follow Western fashions In Ihls reirard, whatever tbey may do In other directions." 134 CfflL-IWACK FREE PRESS tt You May Have Catarrh and Not Know It HEAD AND THROAT BECOME DISEASED WITH CATARRH FROM NEGLECTING COLDS AND COUGHS Catarrh is Treacherous—When Fully Developed is a Horror—Note Its Symptoms "Is your breath bad?"

New Vork, they assured her cheerily, wns Cull ol' positions, She luul bravely winked back the tears and turned directly homeward. Home, as she knew it, was empty and heartless and bale, bul she was driven there by an uncontrollable impulse. She knew it would be wiser, now thut she was down-town, to visit the newspaper ulllces, made a list of the day's likely "want" advertisements, and try each one in person, on the bare chance of finding something. Hut sho could not do it; she was faint and dizzy und heart-sick, and she wanted to be alone, to draw her shades upon the world that jostled her and shut her out. Her dizziness should have told ber that she needed a good meal. Sbo climbed the stairs droop liilly, and, once In her room, found*that she could not cry after alt; things were too bad for that.

Not many hours ngo, he had brought ff a very successful coup, the third he had accomplished from the dangerous, detective-ridden precincts ' of a world-famous tirm of jewelers. His victim had lieen a man—a large and muscular-looking young man—so that the adventure hail heen more perilous, md in retrospect filled Slip with a more complacent satisfaction. He hud followed his intended victim for blocks before he had seen him joyfully greeted by friends and dragged, with some show of reluctance Into the crowded bar of a big cafe, There the crowd and the hilarity of the new-met friends had given Slip bis opportunity. He had been unable to get at the wallet, which he suspected made thnt bulge In the young man's breast pocket, but he was well eon- tent with what he had found in a side pocket—a small, square, cushion-topped box, which he had had lit mind from the very flrst. Now, as he sat watching the girl, he fell th,* big diamond with appraising thumb. The box he bad kicked into a convenient Sewer, lie knew pockets too well to trust them, und be had slipped th erlng upon his Hide Knger, with the stone turned Inward. He kept feeling it nervously, much us a child will feel wllli his tongue lhe unfamiliar gap of a new-lost tooth; for it fitted insecurely. He hail tried It on his third linger, at Ilrst, hut it was just too smalt, Slip's hands were slender and graceful, as became his profession, (ind on his little linger the ring hung loosely. Tho train was fast gelling downtown. The girl might, he reflected, get out at any station, if she had been bent on Shopping, he would have lost ber already. He sternly collected his wandering thoughts. A man should bo above superstition. Besides, the thing he had done had been outside his custom, a dilettante excursion, taken partly for pure excitement, a successfully gratified whim of bis that surely could bave no effect upon bis subseiiuent legitimate business. This womnn was fair game, ami possibly rich game. It was folly to delay tiny longer. The train was grinding into a station. When the doors were flung open, a puff of wind blew his newspaper, flapping wide, across her lap and into her very face. Under Us cover, Slip's practised hand stole Into ber pocket, while he murmured profuse and awkward apologies. I.eila hardly hoard them, for she (oo bud been dreaming, and she realized with a start that the guard was shooting bis distortion of tMThamo of her station, Waiting passengers had already begun to stream Into the ear. She sprung to her feel, arid with some eXOltomont made her wny to lhe door, leaving bohlnd her u disappointed gentleman of the nether world, who cursed the well-known abruptness of womankind in pcrfervld silence that be longed (o break. Hut the cur was In motion again, and it wus too late lo follow her. If Slip eould have got out, however, and climbed (he step*, on the other side, he would soon have seen her; for Leila, ns she hud dreaded, had met the 111 chance which she had struggled to put from her mind. The place, the position thnt wus to stand botween her and that gaunt thing she ItnoW to be looking over her shoulder, was already taken.

She closed ber eyes for a moment, luxuriating in the rasp of the calloused hands. She felt as If the world throbbed and jolted beneath her; then she realized dimly that she was In a taxicab. "Where are we going?" sbe asked, with something of her old vivacious - n ess. He slid an arm about her ami drew her close against his shoulder. "That's a lovely flrst remark,' he laughed contentedly.

In fact there is nothing Egyptian about Egyptian cigarettes except 'that they come from Cairo, There they are made with Turkish tobacco, with Austrian paper, and by Greek workmen.

In 1874, Mr. O. N. Fry, of Mooresville, Tenn., was tbe owner of Gibson's Tom Hiil, who was making the season at |fi by tho Insurance, and if, when tho colt was old enough to Wean, it did not show the saddle gaits im fee whatever was charged. A neighbor of Mr, Fry then owned a mare named Lizzie, liy Johh Nelheriand, a paclng-bred horae, Mr. Fry happened to meet the owner of Lizzie one day ami suggested to him the advisability of breeding Lizzie to Tom Hal; hut Um owner of Lizzie demurred, saying In* could raise a mule, and that wben the mule was a year old he could sell It for JM*". which was much better than he eould do raising colts. Finally, Mr. Pry propi sod that If ho would breed to Tom Hal he would pay him $f»0 for the colt when It was a yenr old. If sound and all right. This proposition was accepted, and ono day tho next year Uie mnn nppeared at Mr. Fry'H place leading a colt so thin tliat he Would hnrdly mako a shadow, and In addition to apparently being hnlf- starved, ho wns covered with lice, Which had eaten his mane and tall nnd nearly finished whnt little vitality wns in his body. This colt wns Little Brown Jug (foaled April 18, 187.r,), which this man had brought to Mr. Fry pursuant to their contract, ns he claimed, and demntided tho JRO. When Mr. Fry saw the colt he refused to receive him, and told the mnn he did not want sueh a looking colt upon his place. The ninii saitl he hail no monoy aud had relied upon tin* prnmls- <-d $50 lo buy the nocossarles for his rurally and finally Mr. Frj i «>f sympathy but under protest, took lh.* coll and paid the $511. After a thorough cleaning utul cleansing the coll was given plenty to eat uml Improved very rapidly. The next year Mr. Fry leased ii portion of hts farm to a colored uian to work on Bhat'US, wh,, had im horse, nnd in the spring (hat Llttlo Brown .lug was two years old lo- was sold by Mr. Fry lo this colored man lor $75. Tbe colored man broke him to harness and used him lo plow the land .md imi in his crops; nnd iu addition I.* this work every Sunday his wile and two or Hirer children would gol upon lh,- back Of the cull and ride several miles io church; and, in addition to all Ihls, the colored man's son had a sweetheart who livod tw ■ throo miles from liis home, and lie would lake Ihis (-It, after having worked him sill day, and go acroBS the fields to the ] home of his sweetheart, hitch him outdoors, where ho would stand with nothing to eat ami often in storms until the early hours of the morning. This performance was repeated several times a week during the entire season. When fall cume tlie colt wns in a pitiable condition and showed liis bard usage Very plainly. Tbut full the wife of the colored man was taken sick, und, afler attending hor for some time, tlie doctor refused lo come any more unless Mr. Fry would become responsible for his bill, which he finally consented to do, and the doctor attended her until she died. Tbe doctor's hill was **_., and seeing there was no other way out of the difficulty the colored man gave the colt to Mr. Fry iind he paid Uie doe- tor the $-0. At tbat time lhe colt could not be sold for $60 iind .Mr. Fry only allowed that amount for him because there was nothing else for him to do. The colt was then turned out and with rest iind plenty of feed soon commenced to improve, and in the summer and fall of 187S, when the colt was three years old, Mr. Fry rode blm to the colt shows iind fairs and soon discovered thnl lie could pace fast, and tbe next year placed him in the hands of a trainer who trained on a half-mile track near Lewisburg, Tenn. The rapidity with which he improved was simply astonishing, aud in a few weeks thai half-starved and much abused colt became one of the speediest horses that iiad up to Unit time ever heen seen In harness. I saw him at Nashville the following spring, and gave him a workout, find I do not think I was ever behind ii stronger, easier going horse. Ills conformation was the most remarkable of any horse ever seen upon the turf. He was only about fifteen hands high, a rich brown in color, bis slim neck, small ears, large expressive eyes, and finely-molded head, clearly showed the thorough-bred blood which he had inherited; but the most remarkable thing about him was his abnormal muscular development.

His training wns more a pleasure to him (ban a labor. He was taught to trot in tbe old lohool wny of careful, easy training. He only trotted two races for his breeder. Onco he lost, the otber, his second, was an easy win. This horse changed hands nnd went to Massachusetts, with a brain full of nothing but plensant memories. His first senson'-i fools included Sadie Mac. Then bis powers wero put to tho severest test, as a four-year-old ho met aged horses.

What he saw on one. side was the rock-ribbed blue hills, on thu otber side wus some pasture that was more sorrel than grass. This horse, a bundle of nerves, entered the stud a nervous wreck iind in each year's crop of fouls, therefore, no Sadie Mae was produced. When sold he was a nervous, thin, dejected-looking horse. Luckily, he passed to u farm lu Kentucky. Here amid scenes thut do- lighted his eye lie gradually became normal, rnd from lhat time bis history in tlie stud has lieen crop after crop of futurity winning colts. Hnd this horse stayed in Massachusetts he would huve been culled a failure. Why did this horse get one sort of fouls iu Massachusetts und uu entirely different set In Kentucky?

The Manitoba Gypsum Co., Ltd. WINNIPEG, MAN. 136 CHILLIWACK FREE PRESS _fc Which is the Finest Race? In these days, when tbe science of human breeding is attracting widespread attention, Is it not Important that we should huve some standard ot physical perfection set before U8? Wo are so accustomed to regard the ancient Greeks us having generally attained the maximum of human beauty that It Is something of a shock to he told by more than one scholar that the Greeks, oven of the age of Pericles, were, on the whole; u plain, undersized lot. and that it Is chiefly to the art of the sculptor that they owe their national reputation, The Ideal Greek standard us displayed in their sculpture is, however, generally regarded as the highest of which the human race la Capable, and, at any rate, u convenient text upon which to base onr symposium. The late Lord Lelghton, I'.K.A., snld: "Unquestionably tho nearest approach to the Greek female type is the modern Knglish-woman of Uie upper und upper-mldilte class. The original of the Venus de Mil.., were she le appear amongst us today, would probably bo regarded us n typical Englishwoman, There are the long limbs, the eloquent lines and freedom frnin embonpoint, und tho placid dignity nf bearing which distinguishes tho Englishwoman from her sisters mi tin* Continent. With the men II Is different, other ruces the Italians, the Turks, tin* South Nra Islanders ure inure Symmetrica), and even more virile. Itut tlm [Englishwoman in peerless." Itut do other authorities concede this . superiority even in EBnglishwomon? There Is Professor Otto Uerginniin, of Munich, whoso dictum is us follows: "The Knglish frequently arrogate to themselves u physical perfection ns a raco which tbey ure fur from having attained. While it is true that amongst tbelr upper classes height and symmetry ure often met with, yet uny BOUlptor will t.ll ynu that tbe Italians are far their superior In symmetry ami the Turks In stature. I should put the Bwlss or the Scandinavian races above tho Knglish. The natives of Samoa are probably the most beautiful rue In the world. Kven the French huv far belter hair, eyes, und teeth thun the Knglish. Most Englishwomen are fur too angular and stooping to form to uny classical standurd of beauty, while our Germans have far tod much embonpoint." Now let us see whnt our authorities, painters, sculptors, anatomists, eugen- Ists, physical eulturists, bave to say to this. Kvery picture*lover knows tli. predilection for physical beauty expressed by Mr. Marcus Stone, R.A., In his canvases, Ills human figures are there all comely, all symmetrical, all attractive. This famous painter would sin against his artistic canons were he to delineate physical Imperfection. "The Anglo-Saxon," he writes, "amongst the nations whose characteristics 1 have had an opportunity of carefully observing, is more often lacking in any suggestion of the "Hellenic standard' of form than any other race —except the German, who are of our family. "Our Inarticulate and Incomplete type of form is more murked In women than ln men, "If we cross the Channel and move southward, we at once find a marked Improvement. The Freneh have hands —a very unfinished appendage with us. "I once saw about a hundred French soldiers marched on to the sea-shore to bathe. Tbelr average form was, without question, very superior to the nude seen In our country. "The movement Is more varied, expressive, and 'true' with the French, Italian, and eastern nations. The ungainly, constrained action of the British rape is opposed to even development. Tlie Knglish artisan affects nipenn country of the same class. Our stooping, lop-sided slouch. The French games, public schools, and universities and Italian workmen have a natural [have done much to develop our bod- movement and deportment; the self- lea. Our sports—hunting, golf, conscious Knglish an unCQUth and Inex-; cricket, football--have all had a hand presslve demeanour. The Italian Is a! in this great work, and I am not typical human creature. The self-con- ashamed of the men and women I meet scions cultivation of uncoutbness and , of our cluss. I consider tbem, physl- inexpresslveness permeates all classes |cally aud morally, superior to any other nnd both sexes In England. Our want! In Kurope." of grace Is largely tbe effect, but In a! "The question of tbe finest people," average In this way, 1 certainly do not regard the English race us beautiful. There is no doubt that the standurd of physical perfection Is very low in some parts of the country, particularly in the large manufacturing towns, and our average is thus rendered decidedly poor. Occasionally I have met n young man or woman of the country fur above the average, and more nearly approaching the true Grecian type than the best specimens I have seen of otber nations that I have visited. The Italians and other southern races aro certainly more graceful In their movements (tlie Arabs, for Instance, possess a dignity which tho Englishman does not begin to attempt), and nre finer in appearance than average Englishmen, "I think that the German raco averages physically rather higher Uuin our own. Tor they have the advantage of universal military training) a measure whicli. IT Introduced In (his country, would produce nn immense improvement iu the honlth, strength, .ami beauty of the nation" "English beauty is good enough for nte," writes Mir Lawrence Almu-Tad- etiui. It.A., utul this palmer's knowledge of both Greek and I toman beauty Is considered profound, "I am sure." says Mr. Itrltoii Ittvlere, K.A., "Unit lhe avorngo standard of beauty among Englishwomen has Improved during my lifetime, uml nlso her grOWth and Physical development, but I um afraid I cannot suy the sume of Englishmen. To get at the true typo one must study those who for genera- lions have been well nourished and well cared for that Is to suy, (he upper clnsses; and amongst our society women will be found u general standard of beauty unequalled by any other race of the world that I huve seen, What Lord Lelghton said—that thc Englishwoman certainly aprpoaohee most nearly to the clash* Greek type 1 believe to be true. "Tbe average size of our men has, I Ihlnk, Increased. 1 believe Unit most of Ihe suits of armor at the Tower of London would lie too small for the use of an average man at the present day. Hut I do not think they iire more handsome or of better phy slque than the public-school boys and university men of forty years ago. "1 entirely agree with Mr. Marcus Stone In all he says about the more expressive movements of the Italian and eastern races. Tell an Englishman to hold out his arm, and it shoots out stittly and deliberately. | The Italian will perform tbe same action with a graceful sweep which cannot easily he described In words, but of which the grace Is very apparent to the beholder." Sir William Goscombe John, R.A., believes that the Southern Italians are probably the finest race in the world. "External symmetry of contour Is less requently met with amongst the northern races. It Is true they have not Stature, but stature often implies disproportion of the limbs, and also gauntness or angularity, which Is associated with the fair-haired peoples." From the exponents of art, let us turn to the anthropologists, the writers on eugenics, the physical eulturists, and Inst but not least, to the travellers. Thus, the author of "The Living Races of Mankind," Mr. H. N. Hutchinson, writes: "As to the whole Knglish race, they may or mny not be inferior—so much depends on a man's or woman's occupation and surroundings. Rut 1 really do think that tbe men and women of England who belong to the upper-middle class and hnve had a good education are a better type phy- cally than those of any other Euro- small degree Ihe cause, of our lack of distinction In form." Flatly opposed to this opinion is that of the celebrated sculptor, Mr. Hamo Thornycroft, R.A.. whose "Teucer" and "Arlemls" testify to bis Greek spirit: "Circumstances and environment so soon affect tbe physical aspect that to discover the type of a people it is essentia! to look ut the youug and unspoilt of those In comfortable and well- to-do conditions. The 'Hellenic standard" soon disappears lu tbe wear and tear of elty life. Fashion may try to hide the type—may appear to destroy It for a tlmt from adults. "I fear that my knowledge of European nations Is Insufficient for mo to Judge where one approaches nearest to the Greek standard, but of nil cities with which I nm ucqttalntetl thero la none tu wifIch one sees so many beau- 11 itul women us In western London, The | greater part of our metropolis Is now i so foreign as to be no longer English. I During the disastrous period of the I Smith African war it wus customary [ for the Illustrated papers to give photo- I graphic portraits of the scores of ofll- | eers. mostly young, who were killed. This wns no list selected for their | good looks, but probably selected by j Death bOCaUSfl tbey were the bravest. |In that long gallery of portraits I think ! saw the English type, and 1 believe ll I might safely challenge any country In Ifhe World to show n type nearer to |tbe 'Hellenic' standard."1 Mr, Frank Dlcksee, R.A., holds the I lplnlon that no true decision can be I irrlvod at by comparing particular •lasses; but thnt only by examining the liverage types of each nation can any I'tilr comparison be made. "The sub- 1 'oot, therefore." he aaya, "not only re- |,'iilres much thought, but a vast I'lmount of travel In order that one may lieeome acquainted with nil tho different types of each people. Taking nn writes Dr. C. W. Saleeby, the well- known exponent of eugenics or rnee- eulture and tbe author of "Parenthood," "does certainly concern those who are what I call eugenists. Physical beauty and efficiency—so closely allied—are among the objects ut which we are bound to aim. But what the present facts are I do not know. Such chances of observation as I have bad lead me to iigree with the i p.nlon quoted, on the whole. "But, really, you know, there is nn- oth r question. If we study Sir G.'-rge Newman's last report, we find If one forms an opinion j that tbe nation's school-children are |abominably neglected; inspected, yes: treated, no. If malnutrition Is the rule among our urban slocks, antl prevails through the whole period of development, as we permit It. In our ig- nornnce nnd carelessness, to do, how can we expect to approach the Hellenic standard- that of a race which consciously aimed at physical fitness, and begun with Its young people? "The Lowland Scotch used to be unsurpassed for stature. But now thc hlldren have jnm nntl white hread und to women, to the lower-class Venc Hans. Of course, wben you speak of a fine man or womnn, ur a fine horse or dog, much depends upon what class of animal you are speaking of. But if you mean symmetry, suppleness, erect carriage, good hair, eyes, teeth, well-shaped hands and feet, then I say you will find tlio solection I have mado hard to beat. "You can, of course, find greater height, greater strength, more roundness. The Zulu is a fine animal, but his hands and feet, to say nothing of his features, are against him, in addition to the question of hair. I-ank, colorless hair Is also a drawback amongst most of the northern races, and Indifferent teeth would lose them a point or two. The French have a term—race—whieh expresses full- bloodedness, a richness of blood and bearing which Is very uncommon ln northern countries, but which 1 luivo found very'Vommou in Spain." "Ono of the finest object-lessons," writes Professor Meredith Clease, "given to the British public ou race perfection was on the occasion of tbo lust Olympic Games. Some dozen different countries seni picked representatives from the flower of their youth. On the opening dny tliere was a grant! parade of the nations before our lute King Edward. I had tin* honor of assisting in the marshalling of this historic gathering. Tim entire body, iu countries, marched around the arena, uud the unanimous opinion was tbut the British contingent wus by far the poorest specimen present, both in physique und deportment; as a matter f fact, the llritish section looked very much undersized. True, the British election committee could have placed u much liner ami more representative body on tlie field If tbey had chosen. Apart from this demonstration at tbe t Hyuiple gathering three years ago, there are nu means today of judging which nation Is Die finest in physique. During my Lwonty-BlX years' experience ! have examined and measured some hundreds of thousands of both sexes unit of all classes. I am bound admit that the average physical standard of the British race is decreasing in both height and general physique, while, to my knowledge, with one other nation—the American—it is Increasing. Tbe reason for this difference is not ftir to seek. In America those responsible for the welfare tif that nation have fully recognized that the overcrowding of cities, the increased hustte and bustle for existence, must eventually mean the phy- Indlans, and in Uie highest degree- by many oi the races or India. "As fur as concerns female beauty of features and of coloring, lhe United Kingdom stands first, and Ireland contributes (lie largest share to this British victory in lhe world's beauty competition. Hut—there Is a 'but'—tho beauty of British girls and women is marred—-except in the case of the Irish —by luck tif vivacious expression. Tbe face Is too often il stony mask; It frequently wears a haughty expression or one of suspicion, so tliat the chisel led features or the smooth curves, the large, clear eyes with their long lashes, the lovely complexion, lose the greater part of their artistic value. "The figure of tho British woman has Improved of late years, but her gait is still deplorable. That of the men varies between the free swing of the athleto and lho uncouth slouch common to Ihe Etonian and the 'clodhopper.' Less self-consciousness and more hclenllllcally - thought - out physical training would work wonders in Improving the gait antl bearing of tho English people. Universally mllltcry training, aparently visible before many ars have passed, will probably ensure this Improvement, "For tin* present. I would award the prise for manly beauty to those warlike races of India— Sikhs and Rajputs; for female beauty of face lo tbe women of Ireland, of form to the girls of Samoa, ami, in Europe, to those of Central Italy." Sir ID m os I Shaolcleton writes:--- "1 have never heard 11 slated before that the English arrogate to themselves a physical perfection which they aro far from having attained, I have never heard lhal tbo Knglish desired to have lhe same proportions as the classical Greek. 1 quite allow that the Polynesians antl Italians have a symmetry in appearance on finer lines than the Anglo-Saxon race; but I speak wllh u certain amount tif knowledge as 1 have visited every country in the world, from China to the South Seas, and the conclusion thnt I have come to is that symmetry and graceful appearance count but little, and that virility antl muscular strength, though perhaps not heautlful in outward form, are the determining factors in success, coupled with brains—and who will deny the brain-power of the Anglo- Saxon race? If one tnkes the portraits of nearly every great man of any nation, the flrst thing one observes Is that they do not conform to any standard of classical features, and I FINZ A0BOBATI08. -From the Toronto News Steal degeneration tif the race If something is not done to give the only true antidote—systematic physical exercise. Towards this end municipal authorities of all thc larger cities have installed a plentiful supply of gymnasia. For Instance, In my Inst visit to tho States, six years ngo, I found that Boston (about the size of our Liverpool) had no fewer than six fully- quipped physical training schools, each far larger than England's largest (Army, Aldershot). and, above all, the cost of tuition Is practically nil—they are state-aided, and they are always full. The feeders of these schools the public elementary schools. where pbyslcut exercise Is compulsory and often. The result of about ten 'ars of this state effort to stem tbe tide of degeneration Is now being felt and seen. In another twenty-flve years I unhesitatingly sny thnt Amer- a will be the finest race. "There Is one most Important factor In tbe state-aided scheme—the physical educator, or teacher. Is looked upon as ji high-class professional) and Is paitl a high-class salary accordingly. As a matter of fact, the physical culture toucher is on the same plane ns n medical man; many of them hold medical degrees, consequently the physical welfare of thc nation is In the hands t»f competent experts. "The same conditions exist In Sweden—hence the Swede's perfect physique, which wns so marked at our Olympic gathering. "In England, apart from n very Indifferent physical training in our elementary schools (public schools almost nil), tho physical welfare of the notion is left almost In the hands of private enterprise." In conclusion We come to three famous travellers, who have seen and moved amongst the various races of the earth with open eyes. Mr. Arthur Instead of oatmeal porridge, and the I Diosy writes thnt In his opinion: tdd pre-eminence Is gone. Let stop boasting; let us learn from the sculptors and artists that, even wben we do try, we aim wrongly, as In the case of our girls, whom we try to make, not women, but men of; and then, In another general Inn, let us take stock ngnln. Meanwhile, nil blessings nn you, or anyone else, who will persistently attract public attention to tbe question of questions, tbe culture nf tbe racial life, whieh is the vital Industry of any people." llr. Harrison Petrle writes: "Afler a familiarity with most of the rnees of the globe extending over n period of thirty years, I have come to (be conclusion that, Judged merely ns fine nnlmals, the palm must be awarded, as to men, to tho Spanish peosant, 'The average Individual belonging to that mixture of many racial elements known as the English people cannot rightly claim to 'approximate most closely to tho Hellenic standard.' The average Italian of Central Italy comes much nearer to that standard. Thc Scandinavian la a fine specimen of humanity, but too rough-hewn lo nc- cord with tho ancient Greek Ideal. In England, the highest and upper-middle classes have nn appearance of distinction In face nnd figure bul rarely found In other countries, hul the bulk of the nation has no claim to nny particular beauty of form or feature, und has no Idea of graceful ami dignified movement, such ns Is possessed by Italians, Spaniards, Magyars, Jap-'action upon organic matter nnd pro- nnese, Moors, Polynesians, American (vent the fermentation or putrefaction would join issue with Professor Berg- mann when he says that most Englishwomen ure fnr too angular and stooping to conform to any standard of beauty. The chances are—taking even Italy—that when one sees n beautiful woman walking along, she is cither English or American. However, after all, beauty and form are terms proportionate to tbe minds that conceive them." Sir Sven Hedln says: "In physical accomplishment there Is no race In Europe that could be compared with the Swedes and Norwegians. 1 mean specially In height, as has been statistically proved as clearly as possible. As un average, nt other nation in Europe has so high grown men and women as Sweden, and I dare say they are as well grown as those of any other nation. "Everybody who comes to the Olym pie Gnmes In Stockholm next summer will lie able to judge of these facts for himself. "i think Professor Bergmann is, however, very unjust to the English. Specially It cannot he said to be chivalrous to call the Englishwomen 'too angular.' Most English Indies I know itre very charming and far from angular." 3EWAQE AND SEA-WATER When sewnge Is mixed witb wuter the organic material becomes oxidized In time, the eurbon forming carbon dioxide and the nitrogen anil sulphur forming, respectively, nitric and sulphuric aold. The carbon dioxide escapes ns a gus, though n considerable quantity may remain in solution In the water; and the acids combine with other substances, forming mineral salts. This oxidation Is carried on indirectly, dependent upon the activity tif various micro-organisms, especially certain kinds of bacteria. But the activity of these bacteria depends upor the presence of oxygen In the water. The fresh water of lakes, ponds, etc., contains rolattvely more oxygen than does sen water, tbe difference bclnir In tbe ratio of about 10 to 8. But If tho oxygen Is removed from the water tho sea water recovers oxygen from the nir sn much faster that It more thnn makes up for the difference. Thun n given body of sea wnler will absorb In twenty-four hours more than two nntl a half times as much oxygen as nn equal body of fresh water, provided thc oxygen Is constantly renioved. For these rensons sewage may be more rapidly destroyed In salt water than ln fresh wnter. It had been supposed that the salt In sen water would have a preservative by tbe bacteria. Experiments made in England bring out the fact that there is no difference in the rate of carbon oxidation between fresh water nnd sea water, hut for nitrogen fermentation the sea water has a slight retarding action. Tho contamination of tlie water In the sense of destroying animal life Is another question that lias been investigated by government engineers. It has been generally supposed that the emptying of sewage into streams and lakes, etc., woultl be Injurious to thi; fish, and Indeed It Is well known that the fish of many a stream have been driven out or killed off by sewage antl other refuse. But it has heen found by more careful observations that tbe sewage (toes no direct harm to fishes, On (he contrary, many species of fish make direct use of the refuse us food, while others thrive In the neighborhood of sewer openings where tbe fish food is exceptionally abundant, This is explained by (he fact tbat tlie minute animals in the water, various species of Crustacea, tnollusks, worms, etc., upon which the fishes chiefly feed, are In turn nourished liy smaller particles of organic debris brought into the water liy the sewers. The ease of the bass may be cited as that of a lish lhat feeds directly upon sewage solids. The Romans bud observed this in ancient times. The best Imss for the epicures were obtained from (he Tilier ut (he mouth of the Grenl Sewer. The fad (hat emptying large quantities of sewnge im.. bodies of frflsh water has actually resulted in the death til' fishes is explained by the fact that Ibe sewage takes Up large quan titles of oxygen from the wuter so thut the lish die of suffocation. If the quantity of the sewage Is below a certain proportion of the uncontamlnated water the fish are benefited. Another important point to be considered Is the danger of infecting oysters and other edible water animals with disease germs from the sewage. The British government experts have concluded that the discharge of sewage into the sea or into tidal rivers is perfectly safe and they recommend this practice for a number of cities. If this plan is put into effect It will mean the saving of great expense and the Improvement of sanitary conditions for a largo portion tif the population. ARTIFICIAL EYE8 The man who manufactures artificial eyes works In a dark room, at best but dimly lighted by a little lamp. Although the methods of manufacture are more or less a mystery, artificial eyes have been made since the beginning of history. When tho flrst dynasties of the Pharoahs ruled, Egyptian embalmcrs set Imitations of eyes in the eye sockets of their mummified subjects. The natural orbits were filled with plaster and with wax and on either side, In the firm beds thus formed, a precious stone was set to simulate the iris of the eye to be. When the plaster hardened, when the stones were firmly fixed, most of the Wax and plaster was removed and a shell of silver or other metal was put In place of them, veined with red, and perforated In tho centre to show tbe precious stone. Eyes made of white marble ringed with cobalt blue or with greenish glass have been found ln ancient Egyptian sarcophagi. The Greeks and Romans placed artificial eyes ln the heads of their statues. The artificial eye is mentioned in the Talmud, but no man of ancient times attempted to insert eyes In a living human head. The flrst mention of such an attempt Is that of Ambroise Pare, who published an illustrated description of an eye of human manufacture such as expert goldsmiths could and did produco In his time (the sixteenth century). As It was difficult to lodge such eyes and hold them ln place, people who aspired to wear them were admonished to use the eyes formed by frames of very light flattened wire bent into ovals, covered on the Inside with soft silk or velvet to pro- vent bruising the flesh, and on the outer or upper side covered with leather painted to represent the human eye. Fmm thc beginning of the seventeenth century the art made rnpld progress and false eyes were well known. Glass eyes came Into use early In the ninelecnth century. About the year 1840 an Amsterdam glass-blower named Demmenle Introduced an enameled eye. Since then many attempts have been made to use more durable plastic mnterlal (vulcanite, celluloid, etc.), but nothing has been found to supersede the eye of enamel. When subjected to the action of fire, enamel or silicate of potash lakes a polish which shines like the natural eye nnd Is affected neither hy the eye secretions nor by the incessnnt friction of the eye-Ilds. The manufacturers .obtain tho colors of the natural Iris and pupil by adding different metallic oxides to the crystal t»f which the shells are made. The Opaque White Of the eye Is produced by tbe use of oxide of tin; oxide of cobalt gives IndlgO blue; the clear blue of the natural eye Is obtained by using copper. Protoxide of copper Is used in coloring the little veins: oxide or copper und Iron with a little bichromate of potash color the eyes greenish gray, oxide of silver nnd other oxides are mixed with the enamel In making a brown eye; oxide of manganese gives a very naturul and soft violet. The eye-maker's chief tool Is au en- ameler's tump—a small tin receptacle with a cover. In the bottom of the re- eptaele are three brass tubes whose extremities curve toward the lamp and in each tube or burner Is a cotton wick. The tire is blown to u flame by n foot bellows and the fluid Is fed Into the burners by a pipe. Eye-making is an art demanding minute and incessant enre In every tl tall. The work tries the eyes as It tries the lungs; but while an eye maker works at his trad* he must see with unfailing accuracy and make his color measurements with critical precision. He works ln the dark because the work of bis tamp cannot be clearly done lu the light. Peering at bis flame and working his bellows wilh his feet, he guides the Are horizontally until lt burns blue. It must burn blue tn do Its work. A white heat does nothing but tone the colors of the enamel. The crystal's first form is a tube; then when the tube Is formed the workman solders a drop of while enamel In the tube's orifice, heats it red bot, and blows It to the size and shape of a marble and perforates It with a conical punch. Then dropping the marble, still on its tube, he forms an iris, using for that part of tbe work a crystal wand or maiilstlck. lie paints in the rays of his t-rls with enameling pencils, using a drop of black enamel fr the pupil. That do- tail finished, he t\\m the iris to the eyo. This is the method of the French manufacturer. The German eye manufacturer fixes the iris directly to Ibe ball without perforation, liy that means he augments the middle of tho eyo. As a result the frontal chamber of tho eye lacks depth, but the German enamel Is too transparent to he used In nny other way. Whon the iris has been fixed lo tho ball the workman sections the crystal, leaving a drop thick enough to give the eye chamber the appearance of a raised body. Then lie paints In the veins. The "blowing" is ended. But a very delicate work Is still to be done: the eye must ho separated from the tubo from which it was blown. Some eyc- makers accomplish ihe separation In tlie flame, Others clip along the edge of the finished shell until it Is nil but free from the lube, when, finishing tho task with a snip of (he tin knife, they Seize the hot eye with nippers and put It ln the box to cool. Artlllelul eyes are fragile; uny sudden movement or a quick pressure on Uie bellows iind the delleute shell breaks or fissures, The coloring process is equally delicale and difficult, No mu* but uu expert of fine critical per- • ooptlons can color an artificial eye. RADIOACTIVITY OF THE HUMAN BODY Five or six years ago Dr. Richard Werner announced the results of some experiments In which he found that the normal tissues of the human body produco an effect upon photographic plates very much like that of radium emanations or the X-rays. Similar experiments were repeated by other Investigators with the tissues of rabbits and other animals. Dr. Albert Caan, of the Heidelberg Institute for Cancer Research, carried these experiments still farther. He examined material from different parts of the body and for Indicating the presence of radiations he used, i.n addition to the photographic method, a very delicate Instrument — Becker's emanometer — which shows the slightest change tn the conductivity of the air. Since the radium emanations and the X-rays cause proportional increases in the conductivity of the atmosphere, this Instrument id the most sensitive index of the presence of such radiations in small quantities. Equal quantities of the different tissues were taken—about three and ._ half ounces. T>.e material was reduced to ashes and tlie ashes were used in the experiment. Ferty-one specimnns were taken In all from twelve different bodies. The brain presented the greatest amount of radioactivity, the heart coming second, and the Uver next. The kidneys and the spleen were almost inactive, while the lungs were practically without effect In attempting to <:or- relate the intensity of the action ut rtie tissues with the social and eeon.-mn: status of the persons from whose bodies the material was taken. Dr. Caan eould roach no conclusions; the eoaehman, the business man, and the professional mun showed nothing distinctive wtth regard to the radioactivity of their ashes. But the age of tha subject did seem to have a striking influence upon the intensity of the radioactivity. The otder the person, the more active tht* ashes. Although the number of bod:"**- used was too small to allow broad generalizations to be made, it was tnferr-d that ill health tended to increase the amount of radiation. The material that produces these effects is probably taken into the body with the food and drink or In breathing; this would account fnr the increase In the quantity with the advance of age. Dr. Caan has formulated no theory as to the relation of the radioactivity to the vital processes nor as to Its effect upon these processes. These findings are In significant con-. trndlctlon to the vulgar notion that th*» vital fluid gives off some kind of "radi- ntfons" thnt have been compared to the X-rnys nnd to other poorly understood phenomena. OLD FLOUR AND DIGESTION Flour that Is exposed to the air or stored even in paper bags for a long time gradually becomes bleached. This effect seems to be due to the combinin-* of the coloring-matter In the flour wirh nitrogen oxides. This combination is not poisonous. The same results can be attained by treating wh« .t or corn flours with oxides of nitrogen, thus hastening the "aging" process. Ther<* is no advantage in the aging of flour, but this has been done by .1. A. Wiener nml George L. Teller, of Chicago, for the purpose of obtaining quantities of "aged" (lour to use In experiments upon digestion, The nitrite formed in the flour by aging has no effect upon the action of diastase In the digestion of starch; ami artificially added nitrite has no effect even when present in the proportion of one part in a thousand. Nitric and nitrous add do not Interfere wltb the action of the stomach jut..* and mny even be advantageous When the aas- ttlc fluid Is sub-acid. Tin* presence of nitrites in the flour do« not Interfen* wltb the digestive netion tif the pan- reatic juice, In none of the cummer- tally bleached flours that they examined did these chemists find mineral nitrites or adds present. It would seem that, so far at least as the bleaching effect of aging, old flour is as llgestlble as new and produces no un- leslrable efTects upon the digestion. CEMENT FOR PASTING TOGETHER CELLULOID ARTICLES Severn! formulae have been proposed for pasting celluloid articles. One which Is found serviceable Is the following: Prepare n mixture of three pans of alcohol and four parts of ether find keep this in a well stoppered bottle. When two surfaces of celluloid are to be placed together, wet them thoroughly with this mixture nnd repeat the operation until tho sub- statice has become softened, and then press them together for twenty-four hours. Another solution which may be used is one containing one part of camphor In four parts of alcohol, to which one part of shellac scale Is added. This cement must be applied hot FREE PRESS, CHILLIWACK, BRITISH COLUMBIA.
