REMEMBER WOMAN’S GLANCE
Ken Kay Forget the Color of Her Hair,
But the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
▲ 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 basket 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 eyes
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's
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 glhnce 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 forgotten. But they’re all right
There’s something about them that’s
eatchy.” And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe’s eyes
ornro trrnon ni» tfiaf Plortnatra’a avfil
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 w'hat 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 l
throughout the country patented th« i
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was *
j not considered particularly valuable un
: til after his first company that made it j
had failed and fights in Texas and wit!
i the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
i mand for it.
The same mechanic, says the
1 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
i appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
( was probably the first man to suggest j
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-1
j periutendent.
“I’m a machinist, a toolmaker and a i
iiesinker 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 the
| value of certain labor iu another fac
! tory, and by another invention saved j
i the company $50,000 on contracts ai
! ready made. Later, with a sewing ma- j
| chine company, he torged shuttles from '
one piece of bar steel and cut previous i
' costs in half. Since that time he has j
made forgings by the use of drops
! weighing as much as a ton dropping
j 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 & 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 j
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some i
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
1 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 Mona. Farley, by scoffing |
at religion and clergymen. Failing in |
this, he resorted to sheer impudence, j
saying:' “I am informed that in Mada-,
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him.”
I The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, lookiDg at him mildly, said: :
“Well, let us both be thankful, my young \
friend, that we are not in Madagas-!
ca-.”_
Much More to the Point.
“Ef yer real interested." said Dea- j
con Skinner, “I’ll tell ye what l 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 Preee.

MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS
Inquiries Made by Representatives ol
Powers at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been received in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
*st date of delivery at Atlantic oi
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
Hers campaigning in Manchuria
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen ol
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gor in 1851. At first only one oi
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured ir
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children—
soft as kid and embroidered witt
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of tlie sewing is still don?
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families ir
the neighborhood of Bangor. A1
moccasins are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process ol
tanning.
The common moccasin Is no!
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
Ings, and that is a strong point ir
Its favor. For keeping the feel
nianm on/1 /Irxr In pnT/1 amo ffuur f hr
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocca
sin leather still comes from tht
place of its origin, Pawtucket
R. I., although a considerablt
quantity is tanned in Bangor
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, whirl
aie not really moccasins, but art
made from soft elk skin, are i»
great demand at home and abroad
and are especially favored by tht
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. Ii
now seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasins art
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD
Hjr Crew Made a Brave Start, Bu
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice bj
recalling the quite well authen
tieated’ story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built iu England
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing
in- other ironclads how to driv<
her. When she was finished tht
Japanese seamen took possesslor
of her, bravely maintaining thai
they were fully equal to the tasi
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were
for she steamed out finely. The
trouble only began when shecanu
back to port again. Then, whei
they wanted to slow her down anc
stop her, they were unable to d<
90.
They had to put her out to set
again and go on steaming hei
about till her fires went out, hei
engines stopped for want ol
steam, and she could be towed in
From this to having the bes1
mentally equipped crews, perhaps
of any nation seems a long step
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided tbai
many insects have senses whicl
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbanl
that is only a part of several acre*
of such soil, and when it leaves it
search of food it covers the nest sc
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. Thai
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, aDd yet the
wasp flies back to it without bes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is anothei
wasp that unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.

This reward is offered because I
certain unscrupulous persons

Dr. Miles’ remedies cure by ,

system, and not by paralyzing
and weakening the nerves as
would be the case if these drugs
were used.
For this reason Dr. Miles’ 1
| Anti-Pain Pills are universally j
considered the best pain remedy
‘‘I have suffered for 25 years with
severe pains in my head, heart and
back, and have tried everything I
I could get and could not find any relief
j until I got a box of Dr. Miles’ Anti
Pain Pills. I suffered as long as 12
hours at a time with such severe
pains that I feared I would lose my
mind. The Anti-Pain Pills gave me
relief in from 10 to 20 minutes. I do
not have to use Mor hine any more.
I wish you would publish this so that
other sufferers mav find relief.”
