Not long ago a man appeared at the enpitol and had his card taken in to Senator Bailey. The Senator did not recognize the name, but, in accordance With his usual courtesy, came out to where the stranger was waiting. It took only a few minutes conver sation to develop the fact that the In dividual simply desired to make a "touch." It was the regulation "Been unfortunate, sah, and desire to' get back to my own country, sah." 'What is your business, colonel?" the Senator Inquired.

Secretary Sbaw paid a visit to the plebelt region of New England the past summer. He stopped one night at a small country hotel, where the youthful daughter of the proprietor officiated at waitress. Seating himself at the break fast table the next morning Mr. Shaw asked : "Have you any breakfast food, young lady?" The Ingenuous little Ver- monter stared perplexedly at the sec retary, cast her eyes with significance over the well-laden table, upon which w as spread the usual assortment of preserves, jellies, pickles, Worcester shire sauce, ham, eggs and bread, and stammered cut: "Excuse me, sir, but what did you want?" "Why, some breakfast food, please," repeated Sec retary Shaw, politely. The girl frown ed and then, with sudden Illumination of the distinguished guest's meaning, replied glibly, "Oh, yes, sir; we have apple, pumpkin, gooseberry, and I be lieve squash pie!" And she hurried from the room to execute Secretary Shaw's order. Exchange. The New Oplara Care. I We put very little faith In the new specific for the opium habit but its success In the region of Singapore equals that claimed here for Christian Science. As a result the Importation of opium In the Malay States has been reduced from eighty to fifty chests a month and thousands have been cured. The plant Is a climber, botanlcally called Combretum sondalcum. A decoe tlon of the plant is put Into two bot tles, Into one of which Is added as much burnt opium as the patient Is accustomed to use in a day. When he craves opium he Is given two table- spoonfuls from the latter bottle and as much from the other 'bottle replaces it to fill the space. This is now repeated when called for, but no new opium Is added. The patient Is cured in from ten to fifteen days. It looks like a plan for "taper ing off," with the assurance that the medicine does It The Independent Carrying Tone. "Did you want to hire a boy?" ask ed the applicant at a music store.

They prove that dark hair and eyes are supplant ing the light in this country a fact which all thoughtful persons have ob served. But also they demonstrate the reason which' is, shortly, that the blonde are constitutionally unfitted to endure the conditions of town life, and J,V v , I Secretary Sbaw paid a visit to the actually perish In the foul atmosphere DM ACH1 1 plebelt region of New England the past and the barbarism of the slums. Adults enter the hospital In proportions far too great and children die. They must have fresh air, wholesome exercise and de cent surroundings to keep in health. But these are the conditions of rustic life, which, aa universal experience in all ages, agrees, preserves, if it does not generate, such virtues as simplicity, truthfulness and honesty, which town life, favored by the dark, corrupts. Upon the other hand, the brown-eyed peoples assert that the fair are treach erous and cruel. This is a common belief in Italy, where It might be traced to a popular reminiscence of the blonde northerners who ravaged that hapless country from generation to generation. But It Is much older. Plutarch cites a contemporary epigram passed upon Cato the Censor, who was red-haired and gray-eyed, which shows that It was cur rent even then. And It Is an article of faith all through the east. . Sir Edward Malet tells In his biogra phy how he once called at Alexandret- ta, and the population assembled, be lieving him to be the new governor of Cyprus. To his dragoman he expressed a hope that they were favorably Im pressed by his appeafance, at any rate, but the dragoman honestly replied that It was not so a blue-eyed governor they thought must be harsh and cruel, And he added that the feeling Is gen eral all through the Levant By the famous code of Menu, an orthodox Hin doo Is flatly forbidden to marry a wom an with gray eyes or red hair perhaps for this reason, though none is assigned. In all cases It may be that a tradition of ruthless Invaders from the north has caused the prejudice, since many Af ghans, and many Perslons of the wild er tribes are fair not to mention the British In modern times. But that is an assumption. We are using the term blue-eyed In a conventional sense. As a matter of fact, that color Is the rarest by far of all. Some assert, Indeed, that it does not exist, and many doubtless have nev er seen It. Perhaps the rarity of blue is not to be regretted! unless by enthu siasts who set beauty above charity and humanity. For all animals which have blue eyes are more or less "hard of hearing." This Is generally known in the case of cats, ana It Is equally true of horses and wild creatures. It Is an Instance of co-relatlon, as Darwin term ed the mysterious law, and one would expect to find It apply to human be ings as Is alleged. Also we must admit that blue or green or gray eyes have a narrower range of expression than dark. Perhaps, Indeed, the fair do not respond so quickly to the Impulse of the moment ; of more sedate or cooler tem perament, they cannot meet a word or a thought half-way and flash back the answer instantly. At any rate, brown eyes, which we call black, have an ad vantage In power of expression.
