MORBID TENDENCIES
When we study the trend of
comment as presented by the
press, we notice a peculiar con
dition which seems to have ob
tained in the public mind.
The age in which we live is a
peculiar one, in this, that knowl
edge has increased, intelligence
has come with leaps and bounds,
and the public mind as rcpre
sented by those who are passive
is continually looking foiwan
in the panorama of life, wonder
ing what will be the next blazi
of excitement that will well uj
to feed this abnormal condition
For some time past llalley's
comet has supplied food for this
condition, but the climax of ex
pectancy has been passed, the
rlorv oi' its visit has not reache
the altitude expected, and tl
public dei-ire will look forward to
the next figure that appears i
on the chess board of entertain
nient, which will probably 1
the return of Kx-precident
Rooosevelt. with a deirree of
lonrinr for something to feci
this desire.
The proper study of man
sail 1 to ue "man and when w
begin to scan our own teiiuen
cies closely wo can very clearly
discern many of those of the hu
man family, as the spirit of man
has been very much the same
from the exit of Adam from th(
gate ol lvien, and to grow
healthy and strong, there inns
be supervision of our tendencies
The rolling-pin is without
doubt a lady's weapon, and on
ol iev Yoiks courageou
daughters has become .so skille
in the use oi this domestic uten
sil that she put a burglar com
pletely out in the second roil
She used a cuspidor when th
burglar first entered, with wide

grappled with her, and the ligl
went on, but when she reaehe
the rolling-pin the lirst pass sent
the intruder through the win
dow and when the police arrive
a ueau ourgiar awaited tneui m
the back vard. This one o
Eve's daughters exhibited a d
gree of courage worthy of imita
tion.
We nave hoard men speak ot
whole-souled persons, big-soule
people, and men whose sou
would rattle inside a mustar
seed, but we tdiall not apply th
comparison; let others take that
privilege. However there is not
always that freeness from self
iniorosi or laigeness ol sou
among the printing Irateriuty
that ought to exist. Generally
speaking they area broad-minded,
w hole-souled people, but oc
casionally wo tind one who hard
ly belongs to this class, as he

A Great Atset In Business as Well as
In Society.
Tbere have been great advocates at
tbe bar whose charming niauner. like
the preseuce lu court of some of the
world's famous beauties, would so
sway the Jury and the jmljie ns to en
danger and sometimes actually divert
justice, say Orison Swett Marden lu
Success Magazine. A gracious, Knial
presence, u charming personality, a
refined, fascinating manner, are wel
come where mere beauty Is denied and
where mere wealth Is turned away.
Tbey will make a belter impression
than the best education or the highest
attainments. An attractive personali
ty, even without peal ability, often
advances oue when peat talent and
pedal training will not.
Tbere I" always a premium upon a
charming presence. Kvery business
man likes to be surrounded by eople
of pleasing personality and winning
manners. Tbey are regarded as splen
did assets.
What Is it that often enables one
persoti to walk right into a position
and achieve wit bout difficulty tbat
which another, with Tliaps greater
ability. stniKKles in vuin to accom
plish? Everywhere a magnetic per
sonality wins Its way.
Young meu and young women are
constantly belna surprised by offers
of excellent positions which come to
them because ot iptaiities and charac
teristics which perhaps they Dave nev
er thought much about-a Hue man
ner, courtesy, i lieertnlness and Kindly,
obliging, helpful disposiiluiis.
ABSURD COSTUMES.
Outcome of a Curious Wager Made In
England In 1806.
A wager was made In ISOti In the
castle yard. oi k. England, between
Thomas Hodgson and Samuel White
bead as to which should succeed in as
suming the most singular character.
Umpires were selected whose duty it
was to decide upon the comparative
absurdity ot the costumes lu which
the two men were to appearv' On the
appointed day Hodgson came before
tbe umpires decorated wltb banknotes
of various values, his coat and vest
being entirely covered with them He
sides these lie had a row of live guinea
pieces down his back, a netted purse
ol gold around bis head and a placard
ou bis back bearing tbe legend. "John
Hall."
Whitehead came ou the scene dress
ed like a woman on one side, one half
of tils face painted aud a silk stocking
and slipper on one foot and leg. The
other half of his face was blackeued
so as to resemble a negro. Ou tbe cor
responding side of his body he wore a
gaudy long tailed linen coat, his leg
on that side being Incased In balf a
pair of leather breeches and a boot
wltb a spur. lie wore a wig of sky
blue braided down his back and tied
with yellow, red and orange colored
ribbons.
One would naturally fancy that be
presented tbe most singular aud ludi
crous appearance, but the umpires
must have thought differently, as they
awarded the stakes, some 20, to
Hodgson. London Tatler.
Mild Result.
The courtroom was crowded A wife
wii seeking divorce on the grounds of
ex Heine cruelty and abusive treat
ment. Guns, axes, rolling pins and
stinging tuvectives seemed to have
played a prominent part In the plain
tiff's married life.
The husband was on tbe stand un
dergoing a grueling cross examination.
The examining attoruey said: "You
have testllied tbat your wife on one
oocuslou threw cayenne pepper In your
face. Now. sir. ktudly tell us what you
did on that occasion."
The witness hesitated and looked
confused. Kvery one expected that he
was nlHiiit to confess to some shocking
act of cruelty. Hut their hopes were
shattered when be finally blurted out:
"1 sneeied:"- Everybody's.
How He Remembered.
A diffident young Koseville man went
to a party. If you are diffident your
self aud know bow bard It Is to re
member names when you meet a
crowd of strauge and lovely ladles
you will be able to understand why it
was that the young man's dauce card
read as follows:
L Twostep Helen,

1 Tole-lll girl.
4. Walts- lolMs
h. Twosiep-Swell eyes.

Saved by His Wits.
The Duke of Wellington, once met
by accident an officer in a state of In
ebriety. "Look here, sir." said tbe Iron Duke,
"What would you do It you met oue of
your men m tbe condition in which I
Hud youV"
Tbe officer drew himself up. gave the
military salute and replied wltb great
gravity, "I would not condescend to
speak to the brute." Ills wit saved
him his commission.
