Permanence of Iron Gall Inks.
Various iron gall inks which, when j
freshly made, had been analyzed by j
the Prussian government testing bu- ,
reau and had been ranked in the first j
class, were allowed to stand three !
years and again examined. It was j
found that the quantity of iron in so- ;
lution remained unchanged, but that
the tannic and gailic acids were
greatly diminished, in some cases by 1
more than one-half, so that many of
\ the inks no longer satisfied the con- ; J
v ditions established for inks of the j
\ first class. The sediment deposited
In the bottles contained only traces 1
of Iron and consequently could not
consist of tannate or gallate of iron, c
as has hitherto been assumed. It : ]
was probably composed of products j \
^ ;of the decomposition of tannic and J
gallic acids, if this decomposition is : '
favored by exposure to light, as is j ''

IN THE CLUTCH OF A BLIZZARI
By ERNEST McGAFFEY.
The snow had fallen softly an<
steadily for days. The strawshed wai
a Chinese pagoda, the haystacks re
sembled Swiss cottages, and the sta
ble, with snow packed deep about i
and a heavy mantle on the slopinj
roof, could hardly be distinguishec
from a huge drift. Every mornin*
the prairie chickens perched on avail
able corners of the stacks and out
buildings, and in the hedges the quai
and rabbits sheltered themselves a:
best they could from the wintrj
blasts.
John looked on the landscape witl
keen interest. Toward distSnt Tarkio
the tlmberline loomed black as
night. To the northwest rose Satter
lee's grove, a dark speck against the
sky, and for the rest there was only z
wonderful whiteness. Still the snow
fell, and higher and still higher rosv;
the drifts. They wound about the
slender trunks of the young walnu!
;rees like enveloping wraiths of foam
md among the tall cottonwoods tc
;he south they broke in misty billows,
lrged onward by the wind.
It was hard work now feeding the
Jtock and poultry, chopping and
jringing in wood and looking after
;hings generally on the farm. Saturlay
night the wind freshened about
L2 o!clock, and John felt shivery unier
the old fashioned comforters.
In the morning he found his uncle
md Mart Barr talking in whispers by
hp lritrhen stnvf>. He heard Rarr
say:
"I didn't much more than get back,
ind if this keeps up we're in for it."
He started to go outdoors, but his
mcle's sharp "Wait a while!" kepi
lim from leaving the room. He tried
;o look out of the windows, but could
see nothing but a whirl of flakes.
It began to be bitterly cold. Back
)f the stove was a pile of wood, which
apidly found its way into the fire,
ind it was evident that a new supply
nust be obtained if they wished to
teep alive. John's grandmother had
ilready been warned to stay in bed,
ind with a lighted lantern at her feet
she was buried under blankets and
vas quite comfortable.
"Step out on the stoop, John," said
[Jncle Tom. "See what you think oi
i blizzard. Hold on to my hand," he
idded, as the boy started for the
ioor.
John took his uncle's hand and
crossed the threshold. He found
limself in a blinding maze of furious
snows. HeAeld his disengaged hand
lp before him, and could not see it
lor the revolving drifts; he was
>tung and cut by fine icy needles,
vhich filled and even choked the air,
ind he Instinctively felt for the door
md got into the house again, gasping
'or breath.'
The first thing he said on recoverng
his breath was, "What'll become
>f the buckskin?"
His uncle looked grave. "The
pony will have to take his chances
vith the mules. Mart fed 'em all last
light, and he tried to get to the stable
this morning, but he barely got
sack. We've got to wait till this
itorm clears, if she blows a week."
The tears came into John's eyes as
le thought of the pony, but he knew
;he blizzard must be a serious mat:er
when Mart Barr or his uncle could
aot get to the stable.
They sat down to a good breakfast,
md the hot coffee heartened John up,
md he began to feel the novelty of
the adventure. He took his grandmother
her morning's meal, and re
turned to the room below.
The house was a small story-andi-half
frame, with no sheltering trees
Dr outbuildings near at hand. Ur
stairs were the bedrooms, three ir
number, and down stairs the singte
large room served as library, sitting
room, dining room and kitchen. II
was warmed by a squat, good sized
kitchen stove.
Pretty soon Uncle Tom rose, tied s
clohtesline round his waist, and weni
out into the swirl. Mart Barr helt
the other end of the rope, and in i
few seconds Uncle Tom returned with
a stick of wood from the woodpile
This he sawed into stove lengths witl
a hand saw.
The wood was dried in the over
and piled into the stove and eaten ui
like tinder. Then Mart put on th<
life line and made a dash for mor<
wood. After this grist had been de
v^ured by the kitchen stove, Johr
begged and insisted on being allower
to go for a stick. The woodpile la:
south of the house, hardly fifty fee
away, and you could not miss it, al
though you could not see it. Afte
some persuasion Uncle Tom fastenec
I
I
the clothesline with a firm grop about
the boy, the door was opened and out
m he darted.
The instant he emerged he seemed
m to be wrapped in a suffocating blanI
ket and pierced by innumerable bits
of glass. The time spent in reaching
the woodpile occupied only a few secjs
onds, but he almost fell before reaching
it. (
ie He seized a cord stick and half ran
;e and was half hauled into the house. ^
He was speechless from even that
short exposure, and for a few seconds
fairly numb. His uncle looked at
- him.
"You can't go ouc again, John," he
II said. "It's as much as Mart or I
d want to do to tackle that blizzard."
And with the rising of the wind
>3 and the plunging of the drifts it
j seemed to the boy's imagination that
the storm was besieging the house.
d The thin and fragile window glasses
^ were re-ehforced with wood, there
;c being no shutters, and snow fine as
the finest sand crawled in at every
crevice and was sifted down like powder
on the beds above. The grandit
mother's bed was brought down from
, up stairs and placed close to the
stove. John distinguished himself by
d finding an old cross-cut saw in that
corner of up stairs called the garret,
and the men sharpened it up and alI
lowed him to help saw the sticks
they brought in.

!t the cottonwoods and walnut trees,
breaking off branches and moaning
away in the distance. The winds
piled up the snow against the house
until the men were feheeted with it
when they rushed back from the
woodpile.
) Three days and nights the carnival
of an icy ghost dance kept up, and
three nights they had but fitful
snatches of sleep in the intervals between
the hurried races to the wood.
Pile- J
. At last the strength of the storm
was spent, and Wednesday it cleared, .'
s bitter cold. The men and the boy
hurried to the stable. The stock ^
' were all alive, but weak. They had
eaten the feed left in their boxes and
[ mangers, and then broken their halters
and got at some of the "slue
? grass" which formed the roof of the
stable. The snow had so completely
covered the low structure in many
places that they had not suffered un3
usually from the cold.
7 Every chicken and turkey on the
place had frozen, but the hogs had
1 burrowed into a strawstack in their
" pen, and were squealing vociferously
' for feed.
" Away to the river bottom the treea
! rose dark as scaffolds, and a great
1 white sea stretched in all directions
[ as far as the eye could reach. The
| air was still, hut nipped sharply at
* the boy's bare cheeks. It was hia
' first blizzard.
' To the northwest he saw the Sat1
terlee windbreak, and wondered how
' it weathered the storm. And as a
solitary hawk, strong of wing and
| gray as the drifts beneath him, swung
| high over the prairies, he turned to
the house.?Youth's Companion.

Tears of Blood. f
1 " The belief that certain individuals
are able to weep tears of blood is of
1 such antiquity that the German equiv- t
alent for "bitter tears" is "blutige
Thranen," "bloody tears." There y
seems, however, no outhentic instance
of blood being actually secreted by
. the lachrymal gland.
> Micas has^published a very inter- 0
: esting article" on real and false tears ^
of blood. It is a clinical study on g(
conjunctive hemorrhage. Some years tl
ago the author was consulted about g]
a boy aged twelve years, who from t(
> the slightest cause, such as laughter,
> or sometimes apparently for no cause ^
1 whatever, wept tears of blood?an V(
occurrence often repeated several w
times a day. The lad was pale and g1
enervated from constant hemorrhage. a
1 Tne source or tne Dieeaing was tne
tarsal conjunctiva, which was cov1
ered with fine papillae, and light
t cauterization with the galvano-caut- >
' ery resulted in a cure.
1 This case led the author to study 31
1 the literature of the subject. He
found that in none of the cases cited
1 is it certain that the blood did not
come from the conjunctiva or from ^
i the lachrymal passages. He feels
) that it is unwise to deny the possi
bility of a sauguineous secretion from '
- the gland, but that examples in which ?
- other sources cannot be shown to be
i present must be exceedingly rare.

Picked OutTender-Hearted Fireman

There was a fire in the cellar of a
big tenement, No. 155 West Twenty3fth
street, but that has little to do
with' this story. It serves only to introduce
one large black cat, four very
small black kittens, a tender-hearted
battalion chief and two sympathetic
firemen.
The firemen were pumping water
Into the cellar, when the big black
cat rubbed against the le& of a fireman
and "me-owed." The fireman
shaved her away. She went to another
fireman and received the same
treatment. Finally she rubbed up
against Battalion Chief Langford. He
noticed that aft?r each "me-ow" she
would walk off in the direction of
No. .153 West Twenty-fifth street, on
the ground floor of which was a
butcher shop.
"Seems to me that cat has something
on her mind,".he said. "Acts
as if she wanted me to follow her."
The chief followed the cat. In
front of No. 153 she raised herself
on a level \yith the window of the
butcher shop and-gazed in,, making
piteous cries. Langford peered in
and saw nestling in the window four
black kittens."Well,
here's a chance to sare some
lives, anyhow," said the chief. He
ordered Fireman Wittemeyer and
Bolinger to break open the door. The
cat scrambled Inside, leaped upon the
window ledge and carried one of the
kittens to the sidewalk. Langford
gathered up the other three and laid
them down beside kitten No. 1. The
kittens were gasping and almost suffocated.
The chief sent a fireman for
warm milk. While the kittens were
coming back to life the mother. cat
rubbed against Langford's boots and
purred her gratitude. Later the kittens
were taken Into a neighboring
doorway, the blaze was drowned out
and the sympathetic firemen departed.?New

Argument Against Railroads.
The stage fare from Huntsville to
Glasgow ? twenty-five miles ? was :
$1.50. This stage carried the mail !
and it had to go. When the roads
were so muddy horses could not pull
the stage a double yoke of oxen took
their places. It was slow traveling,
but they got .through. The steamboat j
fare from Glasgow to St. Louis in the :
early '50s was $7. That included |
stateroom and meals, and if the boat j
was held up a week or two on a sand- j
bar the accommodations went on |
without extra charge. The steamboat
owners never believed the railroads
sould successfully compete with them.
