REMEMBER WOMAN’S GLANCE
Ken May Forget the Color of Her Hair,
But the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
A woman’s eyes are the first objects
to attract a man’s attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple in her
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him, says an authority on the sub
ject
He may not be able to single her
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste casket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her brown eyei
will be as clear to him as the daylight.
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like Banquo’a
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look
ing most intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It is not the color of a woman’s eyes
which a man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to
gaze into the green orbs of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
sweetheart
Ask any man the color of his sister’s
eyes and he will look at you blankly.
“Jove,” he will remark, “I—I believe
i ve iorgotten. But tney're an rigne.
There’s something about them that’s
catchy.” And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe’s eyes
were green or that Cleopatra’s eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat in order to give his wife what
she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it "soul.” Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
it “character.” But no man will ever
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why the
cook has left. It is a question as
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been be
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon muous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented the
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after his first company that made it
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it
The same mechanic, says the
World’s Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details in
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to his
works.
“What can you do?" asked the su
perintendent
"I'm a machinist a toolmaker and a
dlesinker and I can play a horn in a
band," was the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 ths
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company |50,000 on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previous
costs in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
steel and copper. An example of his in
ventive genius is the instance of his
forging offhand from a single piece of
copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician in charge
had said that such a scheme was im
possible.
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley was private
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scored
victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his best to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing
at religion and clergymen. Failing in
this, he resorted to sheer Impudence,
saying: “I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him."
The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, looking at him mildly, said:
“Well, let us both be thankful, my young
friend, that we are not in Madagas
car”
Much More to the Point.
“Ef yer real interested," said Dea
con Skinner, “I’ll tell ye what I want
fur thet horse."
“Oh, I wouldn’t be Interested In know
ing thet," replied Farmer Shoude.
“No?"
“No; but I wouldn’t mind knowin’
what ye’d take.”—Philadelphia Press.

FIRST OF NAVAL BATTLES.
It "Was Fought in Maryland Waters
in the Early Colonial
Days.
April 23 of this year was the two
hundred and sixty-ninth anniversary
of the first naval battle fought in
American waters. On that date two
armed forces met at the mouth of the
Pocomoke river, within the boundaries
of the province of Maryland, and set
tled, at least temporarily, the authority
of Lord Baltimore. The settlement at
St. Mary’s had been made but 13
months when this test of arms oc
curred, says the Chicago Chronicle.
About three years before the land
ing of the Maryland pilgrims under
Gov. Leonard Calvert, by virtue of the
grant of the territory from Charles I.,
a trading post had been established by
William Claibourne, of Virginia, on
Kent island. It was not a settlement
intended for permanent homes and the
tilling of the soil, but merely a place
fixed upon by Claibourne for conven
ience of trade with the Indians. Kent
Island was clearly within the jurisdic
tion of Lord Baltimore, but Claibourne
very foolishly resisted his authority
and refused to take out a trader’s li
cense from the proprietary’s govern
ment at St. Mary’s. This stubborn
stand of Claibourne resulted In the
capture early in the year by Capt.
Thomas Cornwaleys, one of the Mary
land commissioners, of a vessel be
longing to Claibourne for trading In
the waters of the Chesapeake without
a Maryland license.
Claibourne realized now that he
would either have to break down Lord
Baltimore’s authority by force of arms
or he compelled to submit to that au
i-uviii./. iic euvoc tv ugut auu, auGUi u*
Ingly, he fitted out an armed boat, the
Cockatrice, which was manned by 30
men and placed under the command of
Lieut. Radcliffe Warren, who was com
missioned by Claibourne “to seize and
capture any pinnacles or other vessels
belonging to the government of St.
Mary’s."
This was a declaration of war and
when the news of the rebellion reached
Gov. Calvert he at once determined to
put it down, as becomes a governor
whose rights are denied and whose au
thority is defied. Knowing the strength
of the insurgents, he wisely fitted out a
superior force, with the full determina
tion to crush the spirit that was giv
ing him no little trouble. So he
manned and commissioned two vessels
—the St. Margaret and the St. Helena
1—placed them in command of the gal
lant Capt. Cornwaleys, with orders to
search out and destroy the enemy and
reduce Kent island to submission.
The little squadron sailed out from
St. Mary’s with the Maryland colors
flying from the flagship and animated
by the same courageous spirit that two
and a half centuries later inspired an
other Maryland naval commander in
his gloriously successful search for the
Spanish fitei in the waters of the West
Indies. Their course took them across
the bay and soon they were rewarded
by sighting the sails of the insurgent
shi~ *?*r the mouth of the Pocomoke.
Cornwaleys skillfully maneuvered his
little fleet so as to prevent the escape
of the enemy and both sides cleared
for action. The insurgents delivered
the first fire, and so true was the aim
that William Ashmore, of the Mary
landers, fell to the deck, the first
American sailor whose life was sacri
ficed while in action upon the altar of
duty. The sight of their dead comrade
inspired the Maryland men to greater
determination, and made more deadly
their aim and threefold more terrible
their revenge. Their first fire killed
the enemy’s commanding officer—
Lieut, Warren—and two of his crew.
A U« lUSUIgCUW unniu(j V VUV11
and two of their comrades and seeing
certain destruction staring them in the
face, were brought to realize that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
therefore they wisely struck their col
ors and surrendered themselves and
their vessel to the victorious aMry
landers.
Kent island was afterwards subdued
and Claibourne stripped of his posses
sion. But he did not cease to be a
source of great trouble to the settlers
of St. Mary’s and more that once suc
ceeding in destroying, for a time, the
government of Lord Baltimore. But
that belongs to another story.
Thefts from Hotels.
A certain hotelkeeper in Washington
says that the people have no idea of the
small depredations that are committed
by guests, most of who are people of
money enough of their own to refrain.
He declares that not long ago he bought
700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and
before he had time to learn whether or
not the rooms had been supplied, the
whole outfit was gone, says the Washing
ton Post. “They are drummers, and
women and all kinds of people who took
them," said he, “and probably they did
not think it was stealing to take things
away from the hotel. As to downright
theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat
ter of meals, there is much less of it in
hotels than you would suppose; but
Lord! how they will crib the soap and
linen and spoons!"
Far from Home.
Relative—I notice that you have at Iasi
got acquainted with your next-door
neighbor, who has lived alongside of you
for the past ten years.
Mrs. D’Avnoo—Yes, we were Intro
duced to each other at the Pyramids ot
Egypt, and I found her a delightful com
panion. We became very intimate.—
London Tit-Bits.
His Limited Circle.
Solon was inventing his motto.
“What do you think of ‘Know thy
self?’ ’’ be asked.
“Fine,” they answered, “but can't you
get acquainted in any better circles?”
Sadly he began to search gfor a new
trade-mark.--N. Y. Tribuna.
FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
llames in Boom of Dumb and, Par*
alyzed Man So Scare Him
That He Begins to Talk.
Thomas Herring, a dumb and pa^
aljzed old man living with his son-in
law, E. Moss, in London, was so over
come with fright when a fire broke out
in his bedroom recently that he sud
denly began to speak.
Herring, who is 71 years old, was a
robust man, and up to a short time ago
was enjoying gooQ health, even work
ing at a small blacksmith’s forge. One
day he suffered a stroke of paralysis,
which also left him speechless.
The other evening two men rushed
in shouting that one of the upper
rooms was on fire. Running up stairs
to the chamber of his father-lu-law
Moss saw that the window curtains
were ablaze and the woodwork was
! alight The wind had blown open the
window and this had knocked over a
| lampfs causing the fire
The paralyzed man lay on the bed
helpless, unable to stir hand or foot
or raise a cry of alarm. The agonized
look on his face showed, however, that
he realized the terrible nature of his
position. The flames were smothered
before they had made much progress,
and the patient escaped unhurt.
Shortly after the family were sur
prised to hear the voice of the par
alyzed father. He was able to speak
distinctly a few words and his speech
was ooherent. The next days his pow
ers of speech were still further restored
and he regained the complete use of his
voice and was able easily to converse
with the family.
The restoration of the lost faculty
was evidently the outcome of the shock
I which his system experienced on the
1 outbreak of the fire.
| Although the paralysis of the limbs
mr. nerriug 8 uea.uu uas im
proved so much that he has been re
moved from the house to a hospital,
where it Is the opinion that he may
live a long time.
EXTOLS MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or
dained by God and We Will
Always Have It.
The cornerstone of a monument to
be erected in Salem Fields cemetery.
Cypress Hills, L. I., in honor of Jews
who lost their lives in defense of the
union was laid recently. Nathan Straus,
chairman of the auxiliary committee of
the Hebrew Union Veteran association,
presided. In the course of his remarks
Mr. Straus referred to “A time when
war will be reckoned a survival of bar
barism." This brought a protest from
Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, retired,
, who lost a leg at Gettysburg.
“Although we are assembled in a
cemetery,” said Gen. Sickles, “this Is
not a funeral occasion. No death Is
more glorious than death for one’s
! country. I know many think that wars
| are dreadful, but we have had our
I wars since the world began, and we
| shall always have wars. In the provi
| dence of God war was ordained, and
! the human race will always fight for
j what it loves. .This nation was found
ed through war. Would George III.
have agreed to arbitration to let us
found an independent government? No.
j We have liberty because our fathers
fought seven years for independence,
! and we will always have to fight to
| maintain our freedom.
“I hope the time will never come
when we shall cease to be a martial
people, or be unwilling to take up ai ms
In defense of our country. In the day
we are unwilling to fight for our lib
erties we shall surely lose the respect
of the world.”
HORSE FALLS IN CISTERN.
Then Battles with a Water Moccasin
for Life—Rescued by
Firemen.
A horse belonging to William Scales,
of Kansas City, Kan., fell in an unused
cistern the other day. The animal was
almost submerged, nothing but his head
and neck remaining above the water
When the hose company from fire head
quarters arrived a large water moccasin
about five feet long had wrapped itself
about the horse’s neck and had bitten
the animal several times.
The snake was an ugly looking reptile,
and for a few moments the firemen hesi
tated about going down in the well. Vol
unteers were called for, and some of the
men. more venturesome than the rest,
climbed down on a ladder and with &
large stick killed the snake. The horse
was then lifted from the cistern and a
veterinary surgeon applied antidotes
for the snake’s bite. Although the horse
suffered considerably from the com
bined effects of the fall and the snake
bites, it will recover.
Unearths Petrified Dinosaur.
W. H. Utterbeck, representing the
Carnegie museum at Pittsburg, Pa., has
in his possession portions of a petrified
dinosaur, called the triceratops, which ;
were exhumed on Hell creek, in Dawson
county, Montana. The load weighed
2,500 pounds. The remaining portion*
will weigh about the same, and it will
take until fall to excavate them.
Chickens Find Lost Diamond.
A diamond ring valued at $ 150, which
was lost by Miss Rebecca Rennough at
the home of Wright Griffen, In Great
Barrington, Mass., 14 years ago, was
unearthed by chickens vigorously
scratching In the soil the other day. The
I jewel was found by Frederick Burg
hardt, who has notified Miss Rennough.
The ring is in perfect condition.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda"
tion of its great musical werth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales Is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than thRt of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
