"First take about ten or a dozen impwrl hz xug, crumble It tip tine and put it in a pan or washbowl, then pour over it enough uswhohs (either chhx or laky) to cover it well. Stir it up with your hands, being careful to break all the lumps; leave it set a few minutes; then get a few yards of cheesecloth J and tear it in pieces and strain the 'mixture through the cloth into another vessel, wring the sawdust dry and throw it away. The remains will be ' the lhal ugx uswhohs mixed. Next ' take the same amount of water as you used of uswhohs and pour it^; leave 1 the whole set for a few minutes." This is the "soup" employed by 1 yeggmen, and a single portion of it Is guaranteed to open the door of the stoutest safe, provided an aperture can be made sufficiently large to pour In the stuff. The names of the Ingredients are written In a crude sort of cipher commonly used for preserving such secrets. This and dozens more of the same' transparency of meaning are in the possession of the United States secret service men, the police, detective agencies and others who deal with the cooks of such dishes. By a substitution of letter for letter?the first six for the last six of the alphabet, the second six for the third six. with G and N taken out of turn and made interchangeable?the cipher is easily read. "Impwrt hz '* xug." translated, is "sticks of dan" <sbort for dynamite). "Uswhohs. either chhx or laky"?alcohol, either wood or pure?may be used. The directions for serving this soup -? require considerable attention and the * best of trained service. After the "gay cat," or advance agent of the * TESnd, has learned all that can be found * out aDout tne wink. store or post- c office, its lighting, protection and the n means of escape by freight train, ve- ? hide or on foot, bis companion or com- c panlons come on, avoiding notice as * far as possible. "Stickups," or look- 1 onts. guard the place while the 'inside men" break into the safe. Sealing the cracks about the safe or vault door with soap, the yeggmen pour in j g the soup through a small hole left. open at the top. The liquid flows i down by locks, hinges and bolts and! n is set off by fuse or detonator. Blan-1 ^ kets and covers of any kind are used a to muffle the sound of the explosion i and the fall of the door. Ferbaps the) "stickups" arc forced'to create a di-j h version outside and to frighten the clt-( 5l l^.cns or mislead then while the "inside men" pick out the valuable papers c escape.

Many Symptoms and May Af- tl feet tho Whole System. b Chief among the symptoms of eye p atrain are watering of the eye. a glu- *1 ing together of the eyelids on awaken- ? ing in the morning, headache, the posi- sl tion and character of which vary with c each Individual. It may be neuralgic 81 or it may be deeply seated, as was the J case with Wagner, the musician, who was complaining constantly of "the j nerves of his eyes." ^ The headache is often replaced by : 1 an inflammation of the eyelid3. especially In young and healthy persons. . who also have a little conjunctivitis, with a feeling of tension or fullness in the eyes which may become real pain of a dull aching character, the eyeballs *n being very tender on pressure. " Sometimes there are vertigo and ^ sickness, with dyspepsia, palpitation g and even difficulty in brerffchinir. Sleeplessness Is a very freqnent symp- r torn, ?lue In part to the excessive flow of blood to the brain and in part to tbe low tone of the whole nervous system. The symptoms of eye strain appear 0 sooner In those who lead a confined Q and sedentary life, who follow oecupa- a Hons which need a constant nse of the ( eyes in bad or unsuitable light and in [ those who are debilitated from any cause. The symptoms appear later In j those of coarser fiber, who pass much of their Hme in the open air or who ( follow occupaUons which do not need 8 a prolonged, use of the eyes for close work.?London Lancet j ? 3 Odd Bargain of Dumas.

Birds work more in conjunction with aan to help him than does any other orm of outdoor life, according to an rtlcle In Success Magazine. They olice the earth and air. and without Heir .services the farmer would be el p less. Larks, wrens and thrushes Kirch the ground for grubs and lnec'ts. The food of the meadow lark insists of 73 per cent of injurious iseets and 12 per cent of weed seed, hewing it to bo a bird of great ecoomic value. Sparrows, finches and ur.il eat a large amount of weed seed. Practically all the food of the tree parrow consists of seed. Examlnaious by Professor F. E. L. Beal of the iological survey of the department of griculture show that a single tree parrow will eat a quarter of an ounce f weed seed dally. In a state the Ize of Iowa tree sparrows alone will onsumc more than S00 tons of weed eed annually. This, with the work f other seed eating birds, saves the irmcr an Immense amount of work.
