PREJUDICE AGAINST GLASSES
Ordinarily there is a great indisposi
tion to wear glasses a prejudice born
and fostered by pride and ignorance
Few prejudices are more foolish for
the proper adjustment of glasses to
improperly focused eyes Is one of the
greatest boons to humanity When
glasses are needed they should be
worn and a failure to do so means
deterioration of ocular health and
functions and usually produces much
unnecessary suffering and Inconven
ience to the individual
Upon recognition of the symptoms
of failing sight which are indistinct
vision near or far vision blurring

CImngcs lrm a FIhIi to a Bird
The story of the early life transfor
mation and final death of the Chinese
quail is the most remarkable that Is
found in the ornithological literature of
the world The narrative in all Its un
reasonableness is found in the story of
om chuug which is the name the Chi
nese quail Is known by when at home
in the Flowery Kingdom Celestial au
thorities on bird lore declare that nn
specimen of om chung was ever known
to live a year that they do not lay
eggs as all other known species of
birds do and finally that their pro
genitor is a slimy four jointed worm
which has a red head and a sting on
the end of its tall This queer seacoast
worm according to the curious legend
of om chung lays 100 eggs annually
Fifty of these become fish and the oth
er fifty are worms of the same species
as the parent The fish that has come
into existence In this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs a year Fifty of
these become water denizens after the
image of their parent and the others
become birds of the famed om chung
family These om chungs or Chinese
quails never breed and are only
brought into existence as above related
We give the above not as a literal fact
but as a specimen of the Chinese Men

Biographies as a Stimulus
We cannot help living in some degree
the lives of heroes who are constantly
in our minds Our characters nro n
stantly being modified shaped and
molded by the suggestions which are
thus held The most helpful life sto
ries for the average youth are not the
meteoric ones the unaccountable ones
the astonishing ones like those of Na
poleon Oliver Cromwell and Julius
Caesar The great stars of the race
ciazzle most boys They admire but
they do not feel that they can Imitate
them They like to read their lives
but they do not get the helpfulness and
the encouragement from them that
they do from reading the lives of those
who have not startled the world so
much It is the
triumph of the or
dinary ability which is most helpful as
an inspiration and encouragement
The life of Lincoln has been an in
finitely greater inspiration to the world
than the life of Napoleon or that of
Julius Caesar O S Marden in Suc

Bulldos a Menace to Health
The bulldog Is a menace to health
We have this on the authority of a
noted French physician who says that
because of his large mouth the bull
dog Is a great purveyor of disease es
pecially of consumption diphtheria
and the like as the dribbling from the
heavy loose jaws is incessant Those
who fondle bulldogs do so at a great
risk He traces many cases of In
fectious disease especially among
young children to households in which
bulldogs are kept as pets When we
uuu u mis me invariant ferocity of
the beast the danger to which children
and other innocent and defenseless
people are exposed whenever he roams
the Btreets or highways we have an
argument In favor of his disposal that
cannot be gainsaid Away with bull
dogs

a piece of fine cotton cloth tied with

pressing it quite firmly therein so that
the ball of spermaceti will closely fill

will find it quite effective for barring
noises and hence inducing natures

HE aito boat is pushing the au
tomobile close In the race for
popularity Builders are rush
ed the present season in turn
ing out power boats for cruising and for
racing Across the ocean an auto boat
exhibition has just been held In Mo
naco France where the latest achieve
ments in the form of racing and pleas
ure motor boats were displayed and
tested In general the French have led
In the building of motor boats as thpv
have in the construction of motor
vehicles One of the sensations of the
last season among the European
sportsmen was the auto boat Antoinette
III At Lake Garda Italy she cov
ered ninety three miles in 3 hours 2
minutes 42 seconds or at the rate of
uiirry one miles an hour Antoinette
III is only a little over twenty six feet
long but possesses a motor capable
of developing 200 horsepower Thlj
season the Antoinette IV was on ex
hibition at Monaco and she is expected
to be an improvement even over the
speedy Antoinette III The Seasick
and Rapier II also showed much speed
Motor boats are of two classes pleas
ure craft and racing machines The
pleasure craft may be speedy but in
their case speed has to be sacrificed
to comfort and safety The racers are
built on different lines They are con
structed so as to be very light and at
the same time carry internal combus
tion motors of high power Some very
fast motor boats have been built in
America in the past fow yeurs or pur

the twenty eight miles In 1 hour 20
minutes Perhaps the most sensation

ica is the freakish craft invented and
built by Charles F Herreshoff and
called the Den Her Inventor states that
she has traveled for short distances at
the rate of forty miles an hour and a

speed of fifty miles an hour is predicted
for the craft when sufficient skill in her
management is attained
The mile a minute boat has not yet
put in its appearance though Paris has
a count who has invented a gliding
boat called a hydroplane with which
he hopes to be able to reach a mile a
minute gait or sixty miles an hour
The boat has planes or fins upon the
bottom Exceptional claims as to
speed are made for a type of power
boat invented by Thaddeus Davids of
New York and recently patented at
Washington It has a tube running
through the hull thus allowing the
water to pass through the vessel from
bow to stern where It Is delivered to
the propeller in a solid mass This
prevents In great measure the churn
ing up of the water and the -eddies
caused by the water coming in around
the sides of the stern to the screw It
also lessens the combs of spray formed
by a boat making high speed and
which sometimes are bo heavy a al
most to hide the craft from view
resistance Is offered to the water at
the bow It is claimed in consequence
of the tube passing through the hull
The Invention takes advantage of the
principle that the movement of a fluid
through a pipe or tube is somewhat
analogous to the movement of a rope
through the same that Is It can be
drawn through with less friction than
it can be pushed through The invent
or expects that by using this type of
construction power boats may increase
their speed from 33 1 3 to 50 per cent
In other words boats which are ap
proximating a speed of forty miles an
hour as is claimed for the Den might
be able to hit up a pace of sixty to
seventy miles in the near future

The Xllae In the River
It is little short of astonishing to
see how little wuter Is required to float
the southern river steamers a boat
loaded with perhaps a thousand bales
of cotton slipping along contentedly
where a boy could wndr iicmw tin
stream Once however the Chatta
hoochee got too low for even her light
draft commerce and at Gunboat
Khoals a steamer grounded As the
drinking water on board needed re
plenishing a deck hand was sent ashore
with a couple of water buckets Just
at this moment a northern traveler ap
proached the captain of the boat and
nsked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there
Oh only until that man gets back
with a bucket of water to pour into
the river the captain replied Pres
ently the deck hand returned and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overboard Instantly to the
amazement of the traveler the boat
began to move
Well if that doesnt beat thunder
he gasped
The fact was that the boat touching
the bottom had acted as a dam and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream

General Sam Houston was not onlv

John Doe Proceedings
John Doe proceedings were abol
ished by law In Great Britain in 1832
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured In the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery of the posses
sion of land together with damages
for the wrongful withholding thereof
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward III A did not proceed against
B directly In such a case Instead A
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious John Doe
that A had devised the land to John
for a term of years and John had
been ousted from It by the equally
fictitious Richard Hoe Then Rich
ard informed B that he was not going
to defend the action himself but B
must do It and so on Occasionally
by way of variety John Doe gave

Columbia niver Thrice Named
The Columbia river has had three
names It was first called the Oregon
Afterward it was called the St Itoque
but when it was discovered by Robert
Gray in 1792 It was given the name of
his vessel the Columbia In place of
the two floating appellations Oregon
and St Roque According to Whitney
the original name of the river was the
Orejon big ear or one that has big
ears the allusion being to the custom
of the Indians who were found in its
region of stretching their ears by bor
ing them and crowding them with or
naments
Why Is ItT
Here Is a question In naval science
which Is to the average sailor man a
riddle unsolved Take a vessel of say
2500 tons place on it a cargo of 3500
tonsr This gives you a total of 0000
tons Hitch a little tug to this ves
sel and she will yank the big craft
along at therate of six or eight knots
an hour Now put the tugs machinery
in the big vessel It wont move her
half a knot an hour Why is this
When Yon Take a Bnth
When drying off after a bath stand
in the bathtub in water up to the an
kies When rubbed with coarse towels
until the body is all aglow step out
and wipe the feet This prevents that
uncomfortable chilly feeling experienc

bathtub full of water on to the bath
