Is there anything so wonderful as
the eye? I dp not care bow cold the
weather may be tbd eye never falls. In
the wildest of Montana blKfaids, yrlun
the tbermoineter registers 80 degrees
below sere, tghen the feet and fingers
freeze, when the threat fressss, .wfitB
even the torso, swathed In sweaters
and chamois skin vestings, freesea; whoa
the note and ears are treat bitten, when
the hair even crackle* In the blast—
when all la lost apparently, the eye*
puffer no pain, but conUnue to perform
their normal functions. The people of
the moot Inclement, most frigid re-
glons of the extreme north bundle up
everything but tbelr eyes. Iu Canada
yon may have a man to rush at yon all
of a sudden and slap a handful of
snow on your ears or nose or mouth,
but he ndver attacks your eye*. The
eyes are never frost bitten. They seem
to suffer only in a strong wind wblcb
carries in Its current some irritating
substance, as sand in the desert or
fine “coriander seed" in the polar re
gions. And yet, notwithstanding thla,
the eyes are the most sensitive of our
several organe.—New York Press.
The Weed “Kaffir.’ 1
Very curious has been the history of
the word “Kaffir.” Sir Henry Rawlln-
son once said that the loveliest oriental
lady he had ever seen was a Kaffir
slave at Kabul. When she had loosen.
*d her gulden hair she could cover her
self completely as with a veil. Thla
name of Kaffir is as worldwide as
Islamlsm, for it Is the name of “un
believer'’ applied by true Muhamma
dans to those that refuse tlis fM*.
'f be Portuguese found It applied to the
negroes of east Africa by their Arab
predecessors awl handed It on to the
Dutch and to tbe English. The Kaffir
sieve at Kabul belonged to one of
those black clad mountain tribes la
the heart of Afghanistan, who flU 1880
defied tbelr Moslem neighbors and pa
tbelr dizzy precipices gloated on tbelr
Idolatry. These Afgban Kaffirs claim
to b'e descended from tbe Greeks who
came with Alexander In bis conquest
of the east.

Clnmelus Serpent. Into Rod.,
Tbe Egyptian cobra Is not unlike Its
Asiatic cousin except In the Sheene* of
the .curious spectacle-like mark which
distinguishes tbe latter. Although lx,la
the most poisonous reptile known to
Inhabit northern Africa, It Is the fk-
vorlte among tbe shake charmers.
Tbese conjurers know haw to render
this serpent rigidly unconfdous by
presslug tbe nape of Its neck with a
dnger. This act appears to threw the
reptile Into catalepsy, In which he Mas
stiff as an Iron rod. Trecta- of, sofno-
thlug similar having been practiced jp
uldeu times may be found In the Bible,
where Auron made a serpent of hie
rod or Btuff.
A Venomous Suake.
Tbe only sure way to tell a venomous
snake Is to kill tbe reptile, open Its
mouth with a stick and topk for the
hollow, curved fuuga. When not In
use they are conpressed against the
roof of tbe mouth, beneath tbe reptile's
eyes. They are hinged, aa you can td*
If you pull them forward with a pen
ctl. The venom Is contained In a lack
hidden beneath tbe skin at tbe base of
each fang.—Field and Stream.

stale Brain..
Of course there Is no future for stale
brnlus or for a man who stands still
nmt censes to grow. He Is old who
thinks he Is old and useless who thlqlu
ho Is useless. When a man has ceased
to grow he begins to die, and maqy
people are half dead at fifty, not be
cause ot tbelr age, but because of tbslr
mental attitude, because of tbe way
they face life.—Success Magazine.

Iqg her decks, but tbe officers had as
sured' the passengers that there was no

calm,with the exception of one nihek
appearing little man, who every few
minutes would approach an officer and
anxiously inquire If be thought tbe ship
w,Q|i|d founder.
"No, I tell you!” nue of them [finally
exclaimed, with Impatience. “What la
tl)e matter with you? Look nt those
other people—they nro not scared th
death.”
"Oh, I'm not scared,” the mnu re
plied. “But, If the ship was going to

ahead of time.”
“Obi Wanted to tell your' friends

Lynch Law.
In an article In Law Notes ou “Tbe
Origin of the Term 'Lynch Law' ” men
tion was made of the fact that former
ly tbe term "Lydford law" was used
In tbe same sense In England. A North
Carolina Judge In a recent case quoted
tbe following lines:
I oft have heard of Lydford law—
How In the morn they hang and draw
Aqd alt In Judgment after.
They seem to show the existence of
a similar summary punishment lu Eng
land.
Vncoaaetona Sarcasm.
A Scotch visitor to the Carlyles, In
Cheyne row', was much struck with
the souud proof room which the sage
had contrived for himself In tbe attic,
lighted from the top, and wbere no
sight or sonnd from outside could pen
etrate. “My certes, this Is fine!” cried
tbe old friend, with unconscious sar
casm. “Here ye may write and study
all tbe rest of your life and no human
be on:
being 1
ne bit tbe wiser.”
