OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 19fr8. The Two Alternatives. "We got some sad cases," said the attendant at the lunatic asylum to the visitor, and opened the door of the first cell. inside was a man sitting on a stool gazing vacantly at the wall. 'Sad story," said the attendant; "he was in love with a girl, but she mar ried another man, and he lost his reas on from grief." They stole out, softly closing the door behind them, and proceeded to the next inmate. This cell was thick ly padded, and the man within was stark, staring mad. "Who is this?" inquired the visitor. "This," repeated the attendant this is the other man." Different Points of View. Senator Beveridge, in recommend ing broad and generous views to grad uating class of a medical school, told this story: "i once saw tw.o famous physicians introduced at a reception. They were deservedly famous, but they were of opposing schools; and the regular, as he shook the other by the hand, said loudly: t '1 am glad to meet you as a gen tleman, sir, tho' I can't admit that you are a physician.' " 'And I,' said the homeopathist, smiling faintly, 'am glad to meet you as a physician, tho' 1 can't admit you are a gentleman.' ' Exchange. Give Your Lamps Attention. No lamp has any value whatever unless it burns well, and in order that it shall do this without that horrible oily odor it must be cleaned frequently, filled every day, and wiped off thoroughly after each filling. If a lamp smells persistently, unless it leaks or is otherwise distinctly out of repair, it means that the parts need boiling, To do this, take the lamp to pieces as much as possible, nut the parts in a big kettle and cover with cold water, add a handful of washing soda and bring to a boil. Then remove the parts, dry thoroughly, adjust and trim t!ie wick and fill. Nine times -out of ten this all that a smelly lamp requires Most lamps take well to this treatment once a month. The New Idea Wo man's .Magazine for July. Following the Law of Nature. A distinguished Massachusetts jurist in granting a divorce to a husband gave the two small children to the er jing wife. The unusual decision was explained in these words: - 'A mother's love survives the deep est degredation of which the female na ture is capable, and it is capable of a vlower state than man's nature. When a wcJnan comes into my court claiming the custody of her child I always grant it. She toaj be a bad woman and yet a good mother, at least the best, if not the only, moth1?j the child can have. In this way I haveat times saved both mother and child. "jfpr the sake of the child the mother wihat least strive to appear virtuous. It not a rare event for a father and son o be engaged knowingly to each othest in crime; it is never the case with mother and child." This may not universally be the lay of the land, but it is the inflexible law of nature. Special Rates.

A Fitchburg, Mass. dispatch sent out Saturday night said: "Mrs. William Tyson, middle aged and wealthy, and suffering from bron chitis and nervous troubles, is now on her way to Salisbury, N. C, enclosed in a big box with a glass front. For a year she has lived in a tighly closed room, believing that the slightest cur rent of air would aggravate her condi tions. The box was built from her plans. It is comfortably upholstered. She is making the trip in a baggage car." The Salisbury Post of Monday says: "Mrs. Tyson, accompanied by her hus band and an attendant, arrived here this morning on No. 11. The case in which she was transported from her far northern home resembles a big, long refrigerator. It is so arranged that tiansoms may be opened or closed by her. She Is pale looking and the prespiration stood in large spots on her face as she lay in her case in the wait ing room. She was wrapped in heavy blankets and comforts, and in the en closure which was neatly arranged, was a thermometer, clock, books and papers. The temperature is kept' at about 80. This was built especially for travel. Mrs. Tyson has lived in an almost air tight room for the past four years. The party left home on Wednesday. Mrs. Tyson comes south for a warmer climate, desiring to get away from the cold atmosphere of the extreme north. She will remain in Salisbury if quarters can be secured. If so her room will be kept as close as possible. . "Her case has attracted so much at tention in the north that the Jrost this afternoon received a telegram from the New York World for four hundred words upon her arrival here. Lexing ton Dispatch. Mrs. Gould Embarrassed Ada Rehan. Mrs. George J. Gould is possessed of rarely strong will power. Once convinced that she is right, nothing short of a miracle can sway her. An incident which occurred while she was still Edith Kingdon and was playing with Ada Rehan, resulted in permanently strained relations between the two women, says Diana Huneker in the New Idea Woman's Magazine for July. A special performance was given one afternoon at Daly's Theater, the receipts to be devoted to charity, Some friends interested in the affair sat in a stage box. Before them, in floral magnificence, were three huge bunches of deep red roses, intended for the principals in the cast Mrs, Gilbert, Miss Rehan and Miss King don. In the early part of the act the first two ladies received their flowers, and as soon as Miss Kingdon appeared the remaining bunch of Amerian Beauties was flung in her direction. She took no notice, simply going on with her lines. Miss Rehan in low tones urged her to pick them up, to which Miss Kingdon replied in equally guarded manner, "They are ior yon." Finally, Miss Rehan, recognized the discourtesy of allowing the gift to remain on the oo r, took up the flowers and graceful ly offered them to her sister artiste, who, putting forth her hand in emphat ic prdjtest, again refused to receive them. Miss Rehan then flung them on a nar-by divan. In justification of Miss Kingdon, it is only fair to say she was unaware that either Mrs. Gil bert or MissNRehan had received their roses, and refused an honor which she felt was not interred for her. The in cident caused considerable friction in the company, each sido having its par tisans. Ada Rehan never forgave nor forgot. Clipping. Eye Lore. Blue eves are said to be the weak est. Wide-open eyes are indicative of rashness. Small eyes are supposed to indicate cunning. Side-glancing eyes are always to be distrusted. Brown eyes are said by occulists to be the strongest. The downcast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty. The proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye. ; People of melancholy temperamant taicijr ujiyv uicai uiuo eyes. Eyes with long, sharp corners indi cate great discernment and penetration. The white of - the eye showing be neath the iris' is indicative of nobility of character. When the upper lid coversihalf or more of the pupil the indication is of cool deliberation. Gray eyes turning: green in anger or excitement are indicative of a chol eric temperament. An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil indicates mental ability. 5 Unsteady eyes.rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an unsettled mind. Eyes that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to indicate great in telligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes placed close together in the head are said to indicate pettiness of disposition, jealousy, and a turn of fault-finding. . Wide-open, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry, intolerance, and pertinacity without any firmness. When the under arch of the upper eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is indi cative of goodness,but also of timidity, sometimes approaching cowardice. Exchange. A REVELATION.
