PACTS ABOUT PERSPIRATION.
A fraction Almost Pecaliar to Mea, Meikeys
aod Horses.
Perspiration is almost peculiar to
men, monkeys and horses. Horses
sweat all over the body, and so do
human beings, but monkeys. It Is said,
sweat only on the hands, feet and face.
The use of perspiration is mainly to
cool the body by its evaporation, although
it is generall believed that
waste materials are also excreted
through the sweat glands when the action
of the kidneys is interfered with.
In animals that perspire but little, the
cooling of the body is effected by
evaporation from the lungs, as we see
in the case of a panting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
greatly, according to the temperature
of the surrounding air, the condition of
health, the degree of exercise taken,
the amount of fluids imbibed, etc. The
average amount of perspiration Is
thought to be about two pints a day,
but this is of course much increased
in hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from
the skin is lessened, and so one seems
to perspire more profusely than in dry
weather; but this is only apparent, for
really transpiration is lessened when
the atmosphere is charged with moisture.
?
Hvperhidrosis is the medical term
used to denote an abnormal increase In
perspiration. This increase may be
general from the entire body, or confined
to some particular part, as the
face, the hands or the feet. Profuse
sweating is very common in cases of
debility and in excessively stout er
sons, it occurs aiso in connection wim
rheumsttism and certtain nervous disorders.
Sudden emotion may cause increased
perspiration.
The opposite condition, a great dim?
inution or absence of sweating (anhidrosis),
is mush rarer, and occurs usually
in connection with some disease
of the skin. Sometimes the character
of the secretion is changed, and cases
of black, blue, gray, yellow or red
sweating have been described.
The treatment of profuse persplraI&
tion depends upon the cause. Tonics,
cold or cool bathing, aspecially salt
^v - bathing, temperate exercise, and rub-.
bing of the skin are useful in cases
dependent upon general debility or
obesity. SprayiDg or sponging the body
with brandy and water, vinegar and
water, or a solution of tannin or of
boric add is useful.
Certain drugs which have a tendency
to diminish perspiration are sometimes
| employed to reduce the night sweats
of consumption, when these are so ex_
cesslve as to weaken the already deIfc
. * bllitated patient and to prevent muchpV
needed sleep.?Youth's Companion.
J What Wil! Become of China!
None can foresee the outcome of the quorH
rel betweeh foreign powers over the division

to pieces of this ancient but unprogres>

going to pieces because of dyspepsia, constipation,
blood, liver and stomach diseases.

"Him? Horatio Mixer ? married?
No, be basu't ever been, quite!"
"v^uite married?"
"i'es, not quite."
Lucretia adjustel her sewing !
glasses aud sorted out two or three
patchwork squares. The suggestions 1
of a story were iu her face. Then she 1
was rocking gently, aud the rocker
gave forth its familiar creak which
was a suggestion, too. When Lucretia's
chair creaked iu that way, her 1
hearers settled into their chairs aud
waite.l. It was only a mattor of waiting
1
"Well,there's them that are absent- 1
minded and there's tbem that are ab- 1
seut-minded," Lucretia said. "I sup- '
pose you've noticed that? Horatio 1
Mixer's the lattermost kind -land, j
T I A 1 A ? XT^.iL 1
jes: a uuve uoi oeeu to me m/nu

?not for absent-mindednoss.
She tried a pink triangle with the j
chocolate and then a blue oue. J
Neither exactly met her ideao of harmony,
and finally, with a sigh, she
substituted a vivid green.
"Tea?" some oue said.snggestivelv.
"He was never entirely married, you
said, Lucretia?"
"The greea'lldo," she decided, and
then returned to her story. "No, but
he got pretty near it?as near as the J
postoftice!" I
The creaking waved a little trera- j
ulous, as if the chair were laughing
with Lucretia. Of course every oue j
else was. There was something con- j
tagious in Lucretia's silent mi th.
"To this day I haven't got over it!" j
she gasped. "Nor I guess Cicely
Gove hasn't ?nor Horatio. He hasn't 1
been to the postoffice siuce. My little .
Jerry gets his mail." I
She threaded her needle slowly, j
"Poor Horatio!" she smiled. "No, I
he hasn't been since he came so near j
getting married. Laud, yes, I sup- j
pose I might as well up and tell the ;
whole story! I've got jour appetites !
whetted up!" *
"I should say so! Mine's as sharp J *
as Uncle Nehemi' Castle's scythe!" ^
Polemia Dunn exclaimed.
This was a neighborhood pleasantry,
but Lucretia's mind was on
Horatio's narrow escape from matrimony,
aud she let it slip by uuappre- 1
ciated.
"It was this way: nobody but *
Horatio Mixer could 've doue it.
Laud, no! But Horatio's e pial to j

concluded to get to the parson's and s
get spliced. Cicely'd g >t all her iixings
ready, and there didn't seem any s
u-e putting it oft' any longer. So i j
Horatio harnessed np. It was a good
two miles to the parson's. They
started along abont two o'clock, so as I
to get there betwixt hay and grass, so 6
to"WeU? Well, Lucretia?" c
"'Twnrn't well," chuckled Lucretia, J
unfeelingly. "Horatio's unlucky star
rose early that day and s>ared! I j
calculate 'twas right np overhead by 8
the time they got to the postoilice. t
Cicely said she guessed they might as
well stop and get the mail?poor
Cicely! ?as 'twas weekly paper day.
So Horatio went in aud shut the door i |
of matrimony behiud him. Cicely j
heard it slam, bnt she didn't realize I ,
what it meant. She set out there j
holding Horatio's horse and waiting, j
She waited two mortal hours!"
"Lucretia!" \
"Two?mo:tal?hours. Then Cicely 1
she climbed over the wheel and went 1
home. The horse kept on waiting?
land, he'd have waited till crack of <
doomsday! He was acquainted with (
Horatio." 1
"But Horatio, Lucrelia?" \
"Horatio? That's what I say! Well, j
you see he'd run across Hannibal Bin- <
ney, and that reminded him of
Hannibal's yoke of steers. He'd been ?
planning, off and ou, to swap his ]
mowing machine for them. They got <
arguiug, and argued themselves out of t
the back door, across lots, to Hanni- \
bal's. It was two hours or so later ' 1
that Horatio came back, towing the j
steei s. He hitohed them on behind \
his wagon and climbed in, as self-con- j
gratulatmg as you please. He was
real tickled.
"Some of the neighbors we e out j I
on the lounging seats,aud they spread ! 1
it round what Horatio did next. It j )
made a good story, after they'd found j
out about Cicely. Horatio took up !
the reins, looking kind of puzzled,
they said: 'Warn't there something j
else I was going to do?' he ruminated, j
out loud. 'Seems to me there was an '
errand. Now where was I going to ;
from here?' i
"He scratched his head considerable
and then he looked relieved. j
" 'The parsonage! That's it! I was j
going to the parsonage on an errand.
Get up, Molly!' and he rode away, |
with those two steers capering along
?he'd forgot them!"
Lucretia's bright bits of patchwork
drifted to the floor in a rainbow
stream. She glanced across at
Polemia, and began to laugh again.
"Land!" she gasped.
"Land!" edited Polemia. "Well?"
" 'Well!' I'm glad you think so. '
You're the only oue! What do you 1
suppose that mau did then?" '
"Went to the parsonage and? '
and?" But imagination failed. '
"That's just what he did! Went to !
the parsonage?and?and set there in j 1
his wagon, with them steers gaspiug j
behind, trying to remember what hi3 j
errand was! Well, after a spell of j I

there's where we'd better draw the j <
ourtainj my dears; The sun's got be- j <

And Lucretia went out and left hel
guests sympathizing with poor
Horatio,
"Didu't Cicely ever forgive him,
Lucretia?"' Polemia went to the door
to call out.
Lncretia'8 voice came back to them,
plaintive with tbe softening effect of
distance. "Cicely? No, she didn't.
She said she'd find a man that could
get as far as tbe parson's front door.
She said if ever .she died, Horatio
Mixer'd forget to burv her. Poor

"Poor Cicely!" Polemia echoed,
but her heart was with Horatio.?

FEAST OF THE POPPIES.
Beautiful Annual Ceremony at a Church
Near the City of Mexico.
Among the benntiful customs of
Mexico, which, it is to be hoped, will
never pass away, is that of the "Feast
of the Poppies." It comes on the
Thursday following Easter day, henco
is called "Jueves de Amapolas," or
"Poppy Thursday." The celebration
service is con lined to very few
churches, the favorite one near the
City of Mexico being Our Lady of
Carmel, in the town of San Angel, a
few miles away in the valley.
In the churchyard at the last celebration
were devout Indians, who had
brought of their treasures. Popping
with oak leaves in wreaths and
bunches, decorated the walls and facade
of the quaiut old building in
which convertr were made before the
first colonists bad arrived in New
England There were poppy-laden
booths, and Indian folk, men and
women, young people and babies, sat
on the ground with their brilliant
wares spread around them. In each
i orner of the yard was a pretty flowerdecked
altar to Our lady of Carmel,
aud to these the Indians lovingly
brought more of their fragile offerings.

the first notes of the "Gloria in Excolsis"

pink and white and red petals floated
from dome aud clioir gallery. It was
like a snowstorm of exquisite beauty,
snd the effect was enchanting. The
rich coloring of the walls and altar?
red, bine, gold and white?took on

poppy cloud. The showers were repeated
at intervals through the serrice.
At the close of the service the bells
oegan to ring aud a procession
narched from the church. A crossbearer
came first, with the altar boys,
ivho carried candles twined with poppies.
A deacon and sub-deacon with

Mishap Occurred.
HOLES THROUGH BOTTOM
Navy Department Notified and

XTUUipi; AUI/1UU iaaou.
The following dispatches were received
at the navy department Saturday
morning relative to the grounding
of the battleship Oregon:
| "Ciie Foo, June 29.?Secretary of
the Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense
fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles
south of How Ke Light, gulf of Pe
Chile. Sent out two boats and sounded?least
water five and half fathoms.
Weather clear. Got under way and
struck Pinnacle rock. Much wator in
the forward compartment. Perfectly
smooth. Shall charter a steamer if
possible at Chee Foo and lighten ship.
Rock through side of ship above
donbie bottom about frame 19. Small
holes also through bottom of ship.
"Wilde."
"Che Foo, June 29.?Secretary
Navy: Iris gone to assistauce of the
Oregon. Raymond Rogers,
"Commanding Nashville."
"Hong Kono, June 29.?Secretary
of the Navy, Washington: Princeton
arrived. Brooklyn leaves for Nagasaki.
The Zafiro, at Che Foo, has been sent
to assist Oregon, reported by Rogers
on a rock south of How Ke light. Iris
going to her assistance. Remey."
Captain Wilde's statement of the
injury sustained by tbe Oregon is not
sufficient for the department to form a
definite opinion as to the prospects of
saving the famous ship. They say,
I however, that the ship probably can
be saved, if the weather does not become
rough, but unfortunately this is
the season of storms in Chinese waters.
Tbe point where the Oregon
grounded is fifty miles west northwest
of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles west
of Pinnacle rock, where she struck.
At the request of the secretary of
the Davy, the state department sent a
| message to the Russian government at
St. Petersburg asking permission to
I bring the Oregon to Port Arthur to be
docked there in the event the ship enn
be floated. At that point is the nearest
dock of sufficient size to dock the
ship, and it is part of the navy yard
possessions of the Russian government.
Secretary Long will spare no reasonable
expense in the effort to save the
Oregon. Her total cost was $5,575,032.
On this total tbe hull and machinery
represented $3,222,810.
! The OregaD made herself the most
famous ship in the Araericnn navy,
| and the best known sbip in tbe navies
of tbe world by her remarkable race
from San Francisco around Cape Horn
to join the fleet at Key West just before
tbe war with Spain was declared.
It was a feat uneqnaled in the annals
of naval history, aud an unprecedented
test of the capabilities and
power of a modern warship. The
Oregon, under command of Captain
Charles E. Clark, began her long race
of 14,000 miles against time from San
Francisco on March 19th, 1898. She
arrived at Jupiter Inlet, Fla., on May
24tb aud communicated wnn me navy
officials at Washington.
Secretary Long ordered Captain
Clark to report to the Norfolk navy
yard if his ship needed overhauling; if
not, he was to go directly to Key West.
Two days later, or on May 26th, the
Oregon joiued tho fleet at Key West.
She hal steamed the 14,700 miles at
racing speed without the slightest impairment
of her delicate machinery, or
a break of any kind. The civilized
world rang with praises of the magnificent
performance of the ship and her
heroic crew.
The Oregon participated in the attack
on Santiago and with the Brooklyn
prevented the escape of the Colon
I in the memorable sea fight of Jnly4th.
During the chase of the Colon the
Oregon developed a speed of eighteen
knots under forced draft.
When peace was declared with Spain
the Oregon was sent to Manila. Some
days ago the vessel was ordered to
China, and had nearly reached her
destination when the accident ocr
curred.

The remains of Etta Wilbanks, the
young girl who committed suicide at
Gainesville, Ga., by shooting herself
with a 38-caliber pistol, were interred

It is thought Miss Wilbanks took
her life because a young mau she loved

No additional clew as to why she committed
suicide is brought out.

DEFECTIVE SIOIIT.
Warning to Those Who Need Glasses ano
Will Not Use Then.
The three defects of eyesight which
are most commonly encountered In
otherwise healthy persons, and which
can be more or less perfectly overcome
by means of glasses, are nearsightedness,
far-sightedness and astigmatism.
Theie are all Important, for
besides the discomfort and annoyance
of imperfect sight, the Involuntary efforts
which the sufferer makes to see
better strain the eyes, and not only
injure them, but also give rise, through
reflex action, to headaches and various
nervous disturbances.
Near-sightedness, short-sightedness,
or myopia as it Is variously called, is
a condition of the eyeball?usually a
lengthening?In consequence of which
the rays of light are brought to a
focus In front of the retina, and so the
object Is blurred.
This condition may exist from birth,
but is usually the result of too much
and too early use of the eyes, as In

"Baby boulevard* is the popular name
of the long stretch of broad cement
walk which skirts the west edge of
Lincoln Park, from North avenue to
Center street, in Chicago. An observant
man, walking south, passed twenty-six
baby buggies and met thirty-two;
in two buggies were howling twins. A
Lincoln park policeman is authority for
the statement that there are more ba?
bies trundled over this walk than over
any other length of sidewalk in the
city. He said in one day he checked
up 124 fond fathers, doting mothers,
nurse maids and small brothers and sisters
shoving baby buggies, go-carts,
wheeled chairs and perambulators over
the cement slabs. "And that was only
five hours during the whole day. That
was on a Saturday. On Sundays they
come In droves."
Not a Practical Proposition.
"My dear," said Mrs. Blanks to her
husband, "don't you think it would be

"No. I don't." he gruffly replied. "If

"Oh. well." meekly answered Mrs.

A3 a result of a quarrel over some
chickens which refused to lay eggs,
two residents of Coffeyvllle, Kan., have

stilt. Jason Brophy, the plaintiff, avers
that his neighbor, Xeedham Weeks,
presented him ten hens and two roost
ers in February last and assured liin
that the hens would lay upward o
sixty eggs a week. Brophy fed an
cared for the chickens for ten weeks"devoting
most of his time to them. i<
the detriment of other interests," bv
the hens failed to lay any eggs. Ti.
plaintiff alleges that he was un!a\
ful deceived by the defendant am.
seeks to recover $100 damages for h.s
wasted labor and for his expenditures
for chicken feed.

Tess?No, it isn't that. He stammers
naturally, and whenever he impulsively
starts to ask her his halting speeeh
gives him time to cool off and think
what he's doing.

A Little Lapse.
Being a pretty bride, "which creates
a correct impression that Detroit has
many pretty women, but few like
her, she liked to dress and see that the
gifts of nature did not lose through her
neglect to properly adorn them. Of
course they went to another city In
celebration of the nuptials, for the custom
seems as exacting as the requirements
of fashion.
Man like, he had some business to
attend to, and It was arranged just
when she should leave the hotel to meet
him, what street she should walk along,
for the distance was a short one, and
where they should join each other.
Speaking after the manner of men,
she dressed to the limit, and it was a
charming figure that went tripping
from the ladies' entrance of the hotel.
She could see that she was the magnet
for all eyes as she passed down the
crowded thoroughfare, but thought that
some looked at her in a rather curious
way. But why not? She had on her
best, she looker her best and' she felt
her best, a combination not to be beaten.
Yet she rather wondered.
"Here you are, my dear," was her
husband's greeting, "and on the tick
of the watch. What a punctual little?"
and then he gave her that same incomprehensible
look.
"What is it, Fred?' she inquired nervously.
"Where's your hat?" and she almost
swooned when she found that she had ;
left that triumph of millinery art at
the hotel and only had a white veil tied J
over her brow.?Detroit Free Press.

Thus we may say that putting children
to work at some of the kindergarten
exercises, such as perforating and
drawing, is in a double sense a shortsighted
procedure.
Many near-sighted people refuse to
wear glasses, preferring to deprive
themselves of sight for everything beyond
the nose rather than to Injure
their personal appearance, as they
think. This is another short-sighted
policy, for besides losing much of the
joy of existence, which comes from
seeing the beautiful things about and
above us, such persons are very liable
to suffer from inflammation of the
eyes, produced by constant strain.
A less common defect is long or farsightedness,
or hypermetropia. This is
the opposite of myopia, the eyeball
being flattened or shortened, and the
rays of light consequently not coming
to a focus by the time they reach the
retina.
In this case, the eye often corrects
the defect more or less successfully
by making the crystalline lens more
convex; but it does this at the expense
of the sufferer's nervous force, and so
we often find tired and congested eyes,
headaches, indigestion, and even serious
nervous affections. The effort to
correct the vision is entirely involuntary,
nnd can be overcome only by the
flttting of suitable convex glasses.

is astigmatism. In this condition there
is some irregularity of the surface of
the eye or of the lens, by meqns of
"which the image as it reaches the retina
is distorted. Untreated astigmatism
is a frequent cause of headache
and other nervous disturbances. The
only relief is the wearing of glasses,
at least while reading, writing, ot
whenever near objects are looked at-*

At Law Over a Caw
A curious suit to determine the ownership
of a cat has Just been ended at
BlufTton, Ind. Mrs. Mike Daily, of

Daily alleges, the cat strayed to the
