Bow to Adjust the Latter to Properly 0b-
Ierve the Former. .

The observer, in order to see a picture
to the best advantage, must adjust his
vision to that of the artist who produced
it. Most of us do this instinctively. Not
only do we select the best point of-. view
from which to observe a picture, but we
recede from the painting until the lights
and colors blend in just the right degree.

pinch the eyes together, producing thus
a momentary astigmatism, such- as the
artist had produced m his own eye, and
find the picture thus apparently im-
proved.

A most useful appliance for viewing
pictures is the so called stenopaic slit.
This is merely a slit one or two milli-
meters in width' 1n a card or thin plate
of brass. Simple as this device is but
few persons are aware of how much it
adds to the eflect in viewing paintings,
as it allows the rays of light in only
one meridian to pass through the cornea
of the observer. If he wishes to look at
a painting done by an artist whose
vision is normal, or nearly so, the ob-
server turns the slit around to correspond
with the meridian of his own best vision.
If, however, he looks at a picture in
which it is desirable to have overlapping
of the retinal images—at one . where
the colors must be mixed in the eye, for
example—it is necessary to rotate the
slit to another position, usually at right
angles to the first, and with this a can-

blotches of color now becomes blended
into a much more perfect whole.

I. would recommend this simple de-
vice to any one who has not already ex-
perimented with it. Thus, by adjusting
our own personal equation .of eyesight
to that of the artist, we literally obtain
his point of view. The colors are height-
ened, the daubs blend and new beauties
appear. Instead of seeking, like our
friend mentioned at first, for “the
handicst way to get out of this ’ere
place,” we are glad to stay longer to
study and to enjoy. Here, as every-
where, it is art and science together
that yield the richest result. If science
is allowed to be the interpreter, we may
gain a heightened enjoyment of art and
the artist a comforting increase of ap-
preciation—Lucien Howe, M. D., in
Popular Science Monthly.

STAM BU LOFF’S SPIRIT.

Called the Bismarck of the Balkans Be-
cause of His Courage.

The late M. Stambulofi‘, ex-premier
of' Bulgaria, used to be called “the
Bismarck of the Balkans. ” One of his
most dramatic passages with RusSia
occurred during the war with Servia.
Prince Alexander had gone out to lead
the Bulgarian army in person, leaving
M. Stambuloif in charge at home. It
was a clear day, with not a breath of
air stirring, and the roar of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. M.
Stambuloff thought the Servians were
winning the day. In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus-
sian diplomatic agent for advice. That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said it was no affair of his.

“But, ’.’ urged the Bulgarian minis-
ters, “the Servians are almost at our

gates. You could stop them with a. sin-
gle word, if you would. ” “Yes, but
that word will not be spoken. On one

that is that your beggar of a prince
shall abdicate at once.” “And that,”
thundered M. Stambuloif, “he will
not do. No, not for 20 Russias!”

With that M. Stambuloif sprang into
the saddle and dashed away to the bat-
tlefield, while the Russian agent sent
to his friends to come to his house to
celebrate the defeat of the Bulgarian
armies. A few hours passed, and then
the Bulgarian foreign minister got a
telegram from M. Stambuloff, dated
on the field of battle, telling of Prince
Alexander’s magnificent victory and of
the utter rout of the Servians. 'He hur-
ried with it to the house of the Russian
agent, arriving there in the midst of
the festivities. And when he told the
news the representative of the czar, it
is said, ground his teeth in rage—West—

Questions of Health.

The popular notion that an athlete,
because of his athleticism, is a healthy
man is a delusive one. Muscular devel-
opment is not an affair of the constitu-
tion. It is an accident. Strong limbs
and a weak heart are not infrequently
associates. Many a “strong man”. dies
prematurely of consumption. If health
may be defined as a capacity for holding
on to life, then, in many cases, the
weaklings are the healthiest;

If such a definition is accurate, wom‘
on are healthier than men. Their aver«
age length of days is greater than ours.
But .it1s doubtful if centenarians, mere-
ly because they are centenarians, are the
healthiest. I knew a case of a woman
who recently died at the age of 105 who
was slightly paralyzed, even as a child,
and who was practically completely so
for more than 70 years. Could such a
one have ever been correctly described
as healthy? It is as hard to say what life
is as to say what health is, and the way

of life is not the least of the marvels.—

some chemists that caffeine in its essen-
tialities is identical with theine, the ac-
tive principle of tea. Claus affirms that

In ordinary coffee it is present '

 

the inferior qualities of tea contain more
caffeine than the best commercial grades. i

EPHRAIM AND THE BEAR.
not Be Killed u Yearling In a Fair
Fight Without Weapons.

Old Ephraim Hatfield, father of A1130 ..
and Elias Hatfield, of McCoy-Hatfield:

feud notoriety, was a born fighter.

was also a mighty hunter, and had onel

ambition. It was to killa yearling bear

in a fair fight without any weapons-

other than those nature provided him
with. Every day that he felt especially
strong he would go out with his dogs
and his boys, and, treeing a bear, would
get him down and fight him. When
bruin would begin to get the best of the
encounter, he would call his boys to let
loose the dogs. Year after year passed
and Ephraim had not yet whipped a
bear.

One day a fine ' yearling hear was
heed, and. as Cufly was climbing to a
place of safety old man Hatfield cut oil!
a piece of the animal’s tail with a quick
blow of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out:

"He’s a likely varmint. Stan aside,
boys, an watch yo.’ dad. I’m comin,
bar 1” And he clutched the bear by the
throat. .

The animal got its paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost im-
possible to'distinguish man from beast
in the cloud. The boys held the dogs
and encouraged the old man by shout—
ing to him:

“Go it, pap! You’ve got ’em! Give
it to ’im, dad!”

Down the hill the two rolled until
they could roll no farther.

“Let loose the dogs 1” shouted the old
man. “Let ’em loose! The critter’s got
me i” .

But the boys thought the old man
would never have a better opportunity
to realize his ambition and whip a year-
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
to have assistance, began to use his feet
and hands with an energy born of de-
spair, and in half an hour he succeeded
in choking the animal to death, but not
until his clothes were torn to shredst
his face and body were covered with
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed so freely that it left a crimson.
trail wherever the man went. Dragging
the carcass out of the pit Ephraim start-
ed after the boys, and it would have
fared roughly with them, but they fled.
The old man reached his home and was
almost dead from loss of blood, but his
ambition had been realized—he had
whipped a yearling bear in a fair fight.
The boys hid out in the woods for sev-
eral days, and would not return until
their father, whose joy at his success
had got the better of his pain and an-
ger, sent them word that he would not
whip them if they returned. Hatfield
never wear-led telling how he whipped
a yearling bear, and his sons are equally
proud of their father’s achievement.—

A GAME OF NINEPINS.

A Munchausenllke Story of a. Beheaded .

German Criminal.

In an imperial city lately a. criminal
was Condemned to be beheaded who had
a singular itching to play at ninlepins.
While his sentence was pronouncing he
had the temerity to offer a request to
befpermitted to play once more at "his
favorite game at the place of execution,
and then he said he would submit
without a murmur.

As the last prayer of a dying man
his request was granted. When arrived
at the solemn spot he found everything
prepared, the pins being set up and the
bowl ready. He played with no little
earnestness, but the sheriff at length,
seeing that he showed no inclination to
desist, privately ordered the executioner
to strike the fatal blow as he stooped
for the bowl.

The executioner did so, and the
head dropped into the culprit’s hand as
he raised himself to see what had oc~
curred. He immediately aimed at the
nine, conceiving that it was the bowl
which he grasped. All nine falling, the
head loudly exclaimed, “I have won
the game l”—From the German.

His. Account With His Dentist.
Brown has the reputation of being
one of the most miserly of men, but he
plumes himself on his inexorable sense
of justice. For 15 years he owed a den-
tist $22 for filling a front tooth with
g,old refusing to pay it because he said
the bill was exorbitant. The other day
the filling "came out. He took the gold
to a jewelry store and had it valued.
Then he wrote to the dentist and in-
closed a check for his account, based on
the following computati: ”Actual
value of the gold, $3.50; amount of
labor (which I deem liberal), $5; for use
of the tooth 15 years, $5; total, $13,. 50.
I return gold on account and inclose
check for the balance, $10. ”—Washing-
ton Post. .

Her Choice“.

. A woman who has traveled largely

in Japan mentioned in the course of a
lecture the fact that the Japanese lan-
guage does not contain an impolite
word; hence there is no swearing in

that‘happy land. She also stated that '

o’sculation was an unknown pleasure.
As the audience dispersed, cemmenting
favorably upon different points, an old
woman remarked in a. voice loud enough
to be heard by all. “Well, for my part,
I prefer a country where they kiss and
cuss !’ ’—Atlanta Constitution.

The Diamond.

None can tell where the diamond gees
to in combustion. Burn it, and it leaves
no ash, the flame is exterior like that
of a cork, and when it has blazed itself
out there remains not even so much as
would dust 'the antennas of a butterfly.

At Gibraltar; during the most famous

. of its sieges, the French commander,

learning that Elliot’ 8 men were s111fer-_
ing from scurvy, sent them as a present
a boatload of carrots.
