CHINESE SAILORS
Thoy Never Learn to Tie a Knot
Properly Says a Skipper
I dout know why it ia snld the
captain of i lie tramp steamer but
you cant tench miy of those Chinese
sailors there lo tie a reul knot
There Isnt much need u hoard a
steamer for the rope knowledge tbu
used to be so much the part of u
focsle training but we do need splice
and knots now and again just the
same
Those Chinese there who were
sigued on as A Bs ran do anything
needed in the way of splices that would
make nn old tar green with envy and
theyll tlx up dendeyes better than
most nt the men Ive shipped
But you cant get one of em to tie
a right knot Teach em again and
again and they remember the lesson
for half an hour Next time theres a
straight everyday knot to he tied the
Chinese foWle hand makes up the
same old granny
Every child that tries to tie n knot
makes a grauny This kind of a knot
Is made up by passing the ends around
each other in tin reverse direetiou
making the ends stand out at right an
gles The ends should be wound
around each other in the same direc
tion When they come out of the knot
they should lie alongside the line on
either side of the knot Such a knot
wont slip But a Chinaman cant
learn it for keeps not he
The Lascur and Malay and Kanaka
learn the right knot easily enough In
a storm thats one of the things we
have to guard against If we have Chi
nese sailors New York Sun
EYE DEFECTS
Some Things That Are Said to Affect
the Sense of Vision
Many eye defects of course are due
to the bad habits of their possessors
Tobacco for instance is generally held
to impair the vision usually Injuring
the color sense so that gold and silver
become indistinguishable According
to some medical authorities again the
connection between eye and tooth trou
ble is more than an old wifes fable In
his book dealing with the subject Han
cock relates the story of a boy who
woke up one morning to find himself
blind On examination his teeth were
discovered to be crowded together and
a few of them were removed with the
result that by evening he could distin
guish between light and darkness
More teeth were removed and in elev
en days his sight was fully restored
Other cases which tend to show the
connection between eye and tooth trou
ble have also been noted Very fre
quently occupation has much to do
with one or other eye defect Thus
nystagmus is sometimes known as the
miners disease
Nystagmus is an involuntary oscilla
tion of the eyeball to and fro or round
in its orbit In contradistinction to
glaucoma it is u young defect having
been noticed in infants but sometimes
it attacks miners after forty Miners
are inclined to attribute the failing to
the bad light but it is more likely to
be caused by the continual upward
glance so often necessitated by their
occupation Strand Magazine
What the Light Revealed
A story is told of a simple and de
vout Methodist minister who was not
sufficiently eloquent or businesslike to
be approved by the presiding elder
Through the influence of the elder he
felt sure he was appointed to a small
and widely scattered settlement where
there was much hard work and the
results were necessarily meager One
day he was commenting sadly on the
narrowness of his opportunities to a
friend who said gravely that he ought
to pray for light that he might see the
hand of the Lord in his appointment
1 have brother he answered
again and again But so far he
added with a whimsical smile Ive
had only light enough to see the in

Eyeglasses
Did you ever notice queried an
optician that nearly every person
who wears rimless eyeglasses when
polishing the lenses with a handker
chief holds the glasses by the nose
piece thus putting nil the strain of
the rubbing upon the screws which
attach the glass to the metal Of
course this tends to loosen the glass
and wear out the thread upon the tiny
screw This in turn causes the lenses
to wabble resulting in great discom
fort to the wearer Its strange how
little intelligence intelligent people dis
play in simple matters but then It

SHE KNEW THE GAME
A Nice Old Chicago Lady Who Was a
I Baseball Fan
I remember being on a Chicago street
car says Kills Parker Butler In Suc
cess Magazine sitting beside a nice old
j lady in mourning a year or so ago
She was unrvous and kept glancing at
me and then glancing uway again it
made me uncomfortable I thought
she took me for a pickpocket or some
other bad man Finally she could con
tain herself no longer She leaned
over Excuse me she suid but
have you heard yet how the Cubs
game came out
1 hadnt and her face fell but In a
moment she saw a possible opportunity
for consolation
Well she asked can you tell me
who they are putting in the box to
day
How was that for a gray haired
grand ma V
In Chicago they all talk baseball
from the cradle to the grave Up to
3 oclock in the afternoon during the
baseball season no one talks about any
thing but the game of the day before
From 3 oclock on the only subject Is
the game that is being played The
school child who cannot add two ap
pies plus three apples and make it
live apples with any certainty of cor

ART CRITICISM
A Story a Painter Told About the
Artist Constable
A well known New York painter told
at u luncheon u story about art criti
cism
All art criticism Is tolerable he
said except that which is insincere
The great Constable at a varnishing
day at the Hoyul academy paused be
fore As picture and said
Very good especially the sky The
sky is superb
Then he passed on to B and said
As picture is very bad Go look
at it The sky is like putty
So B went and looked and then ex
claimed as if to himself
Why I like the sky
-Well cried A the painter of the
picture why shouldnt you like my
sky
But Constable said It was like
putty B explained confusedly
So A In a furious rage strode up to
Constable and shouted
Constable youre a humbug 1
never asked for your opinion about
my picture yet you came to me and
praised it You said that especially
you liked my sky Then at once you
go off and tell some one else that my
sky is like putty
Constable listened with a smile
He was not at all confused
My dear fellow you dont under
stand he said 1 like putty Los

Born to Starve
Many years ago an American natu
ralist Dana discovered on the surface
of the sea a little animal of so singu
lar a character that he named It
monstrilla It is a small crustacean
akin to the cyclops so common in
ponds But while the latter are fur
nished with all that is necessary to
capture and digest their food the mon
strilia has neither apparatus for seiz
ing prey nor any digestive tube It is
richly provided with muscles nervous
system and organs of sense it lacks
only what is necessary to prolong life
by alimentation The monstrilla Is
doomed therefore to natural death -Exchange
