I remember being on a Chicago street car, says Ellis Parker Butler In Suc cess Magazine. sitting beside a nice old lady In mourning a year or so ago. She was nervous and kept glancing at me and then glancing away again. It made me uncomfortable. I thoughi. she took me for a pickpocket or some other bad man. Finally she could con tain herself no longer. She leaned over. "Excuse me," she said, "but have you heard yet how the Cubs' game came out?" I hadn't. and her face fell, but in a moment she saw a possible opportunity for consolation. "Well," she asked, "can you tell me who they are putting In the box to day?" How was that for a -ray balred grandma? In Chicago they all talk baseball fromn the cradle to the grave. Up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon during the baseball season no one talks about any thing but the game of the day before. From 3 o'clock on the only subject is the game that is being played.

ART CRITICISM. A Story a ?ainter Told About the Artist Constable. A weKl known New York painter told at a luncheon a story about art criti cism. "All art criticism Is tolerable." he said. "except that which is insincere. The great Constable at a varnishing daX at the Royal academy paused be fore A's picture and said: "'Very good, especially the sky. The sky Is superb.' "Then he passed on to B and said: " -A's picture is very bad. Go look at It. The sky is like putty.' "So B went and looked and then ex claimed as If to himself: "'Why. I like the sky!' "Well;'cried A. the painter of the picture. 'why shouldn't you like my skyy "'But Constable said It was like putty' B explained confusedly.- - "So A In a furious rage strode up to Constable and shouted: "'Corstable, you're a humbug. I never asked for your opinion about my picture. yet you came to me and praised it. You said that especially you liked my sky. Then at once you go of and tell some one else that my sky Is like putty.' "Constable listened. with a smile.

Its Discovery Was the Result of a, Workmnan's Carelessnes. Blotting paper was discovered pure ly by accident. Some ordinary paper was being made one day at a mill in Berkshire when a careless workman forgot to put In the sizing material. It may be Imagined what angry scenes wouid take place in that mill. as the whole of the paper made was regarded as being quite useless. The proprie tor of the mill desired to write a 1 note shortly afterward. and be took a piece of waste paper. thinking It was I good enough for the purpose. To his intense annoyance the Ink spread all over the paper. Ali of a sudden there, u fashed over his mind the thought that this paper would do Instead of sand for drying Ink, and he at once adver Used his waste paper as "blotting." The reason the paper Is of usp in dry g Ink is that really it Is a mass oarlike tubes which suck up liquid by capillary attraction. If a very fine glass tube is put into water the liquid will rise in it owing to capilary at-; tractIon. The art of manufacturing blotting paper has been carried to such a degree that the product has wonder ful absorbent qtalities. The original blotting paper was of a pink color. due to the fact that red rags were used, rags which could not be used for making the &dlinary pa per, as the color could not be remov ed. Here was a method for using the apparently useless matter, and so fort a long time pink was the predomilnant color.-London 31. A. P. MarvelousDscers mark the wonderful progress of the age.

Some Things That Are Said to Affect: the Sense of Vision. Many eye defects, of course, are due to the bad habits of their possessors.i Tobacco, for instance, Is generally hel to ImpaIr the vision. usually injuring the color sense so that gold and silver become indistinguishable. According to some medical authorities, again, the; connection between eye and tooth trou ble is more than an old wilfes fable. In his book dealing with..the subject Han-' cock relates the story of a boy who woke up one morning to find himselfW blind. On examination his teeth were discovered to be crowded together. and a few of them were removed, with the: result that by evening he could distin guish between iight and darkness. More teeth were removed, and In eler-: en days his sight was fully restored. Other cases which tend to show the connection between eye and tooth trou ble have also been noted. Very fre quently occupation has much to do with one or other eye defect. Thus; nystagmus Is sometimes known *as the' miners' disease. Nystagmus is an Involuntary oscilla tion of the eyeball to and fro or round: in Its orbit. In contradlstinction to glaucoma, it Is a young defect, having been noticed In infants, but sometimes4 it attacks miners after forty. Miners are Inclined to attribute the failing to the bad light, but it is more likely to be caused by the continual upward a glance so often necessitated by their r occupaton.-Strand Magazine. to What the Light Revealed.

Through the influence of the elder he felt sure he was appointed to a small' ad widely scattered settlement where .here was much hard work, and the results were necessarily meager. One~ day he was commenting sadly on the S nrrowness of his opportunities to a friend, who said gravely that he ought. to pray for light that he might see the: hand of the Lord In his appointment. f 1 have. brother." he answered. -again and again.
