Eccentric People.

Half the people who are called eccentric
deserve to have much worse epithet ap-
Piled 10 them. Here and there a man or
woman is found whose oddities of opinion
and erra,ic conduct are genuine, and the
outcome Of some real inboru twist in
their mental and moral disposition. Such
persons are generally tolerable, and some
times very likeable, their idiosyncrasies serv-
ing as gentle entertainment rather than as
an annoyance to US. We feel that they are
quite unaware of their own queerness. which
is the result of a native incapacty to com
prehend the ordinary conventions Of society
But there are other people whose eccentric
tiles are not. or ought not, TO be endured
They are not innocently ignorant. but will
fully dlsregardful of a reign of law in the
social world. The worlds judgments are
no doubt superficial and therefore very
commonly defective or false; brt the
worlds cOnventlons-thatl is, its rules tacitly
agreed on for the preservation of the order
and decency of social intercourse are on the
whole respectable and ought to be observed
But the uncomfortable eccentric" prides him
self upon being law to himself in these
matters. He likes to know that his ac-
qualntances are saving Of him, "Oh, that is

Cold Day in the City.

"How is she now" said a gentleman
eagerly to a crowd gathered about the ther

"Yes, and she's climbing right along up
said another one enthusiastically, mopping
his face "She'll reach ninety-eight before
half past 3, and I'll bet money on it"
Here the crowd looked at the weather
prophet with admiration.
"Gentlemen, YOU don't call this hot wealth
er, do YOU ? I'm from Philadelphia. There's
where YOU see hot weather. We fry FISH

Then tine crowd moved slowly away, very
much depressed, and the Philadephian went
over to the .istor house and drank hot

Cropping the Hair.
NeM York Post. |

TIE fashion Of cropping the hair is fast
gaining favor both in Europe and America,
and it is quite wonderful to discover how
many ladies are willing to sacrifice their
wealth Of shining tresses TO passing fancy
1t is all very we'll while the fashion lasts for
the girls with pretty faces to transform them
selves into bewitching little cupids, but alas!
when short locks are pronounced old style,
what then A smart hair dresser can cut
off the finest, longest head Of hair in about
FIVE minutes, but the ultra fashionable VIC
tim who is thus shorn, must remember that
it will take five years to get those shining
waves back again. The hair lying in loose.
fluffy rings all over the head is pretty
sight, but when one has become tired of it,
and decides to let the hair grow long again,
the transition state is anything but agree
able, when the locks grow to about the
length of eight inches and hang straight
and stubborn behind the ears-too short to
braid or put up in any manner and too long
to arrange in ''montagues" or fluffy haloes
about the face. Ladies who cling to their
luxuriant tresses, while looking, perhaps, a
little out of style. will coon discover that
they have made hair breadth escape from
much annoyance and, perhaps, from the loss
Of considerable temper.

Advice to Swearers.

Nobody cares for the swearing OF habit
ual swearer. His volleys of profanity have
no terror in them. They mean nothing. 1t
Is man who never swears who scares YOU
out Of your boots if once in a life time he
does swear. So far as we can learn Wash
ington only swore once during all the eight
years of the Revolutionary War. But that
one time counted. 1t turned back the tide
of retreat, changed rout into victory. and
made things hum. But the fellow who
swears on all occasions, and swears hot and
cold with the same mouth, the intellectual
pauper who ekes out his barren supply of
ideas with an abundant crop of profanity.
whose conversation is long chain of milk
privileges and who talks as beaver works;
his swearing is weak, tiresome, disgusting.
So if you want to swear with any effect, my
boy, be very seldom about it, Be exclusive
in your profanity. If you can't get along
without it. bring it out occasionally, like
rare old family diamonds don't keep it run
ming six or eight hours day like the kitch-
en- hydrant.
And yen won't be offended, my son but
il you observe closely you will perceive that
young men. boys, Aedglings of about your
age, swear more than men-more frequent
ly, more awkwardly with less point and di-
rection. A man becomes ashamed of it..
II belongs to the cigarette and matinee pc
RODS Of life, my boy. 1t is habit that
aourishes in the bread -and-butter days,
along somewhere between the high school
and the college and while the blue ribbon
on the diploma is bright. 1t belongs to
what Puck so aptly calls the ''unsalted gen
eration;' the fresh young men. So put 1t
away and put on manly things.
| know some good men, some of the best
in the world, who will confound it. and even
dog gone it, and in New England even a
deacon has been known under terrible
strain to condemn" But. as a rule, nv
sou, don't do it. Don't swear. 1t isn't an
evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom
Any fool can swear. And good many
fools do H. |, my SOM All, if YOU could
only gather up all the useless, uncalled-for,
ineffective swears have dropped along
the pathway of my life, know would re-
move stumbling blocks from many inexperi-
enced feet and my heart would be lighter by
ton than it is to-day. But if YOU are 60
ing to be a fool lust because other men have
been, Oh, NJ, son, what hopeless fool YOU
will be.-R. j. Burdene.

The Maine Insane Hospital.
THE MANY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH HAVE
BEEN WROUGHT The INSTITUTION 4
MODEL ONE-SUPERINTENDENT SAN
BORN AND Hrs Work.

From nm Occasional Correspondent, :. W. NJ.
Among all our State institutions there is
none in and around which so many interests
centre as the Maine Insane Asylum. Could
its walls unfold the history of the poor bro
ken minds which have lived and died there,
what a sad story would be read of minds
diseased and distorted by wild fancies and
unsettled brains, of homes broken and hap
piuess ruined because reason has been de-
throned.
In the quiet Of this Sabbath day, as
think about the beautiful lawns, and the
buildings where there are nearly five hun
dred persons from as many homes in Maine.
! wish that those who wait outside with
sorrowing hearts could join me in my ram
bes and be hushed, as have been, BY the
quiet which is scarcely unbroken. There
is hardly a sound to remind one that this is
other than large boarding house. Plants
grow and blossom in the halls. Faces
frightened by strange fancies nod from the
windows. A hearty good morning" greets
the stranger and, but for the consciousness
of what the place is, there would be hardly
thought to mar the beauty, or break the
solemnity of the morning So different is
this from former years that every friend OF
humanity has reason 10 hope for wonderful
progress in the treatment of the insane in
the future.
The building Of a chapel and amusement
hall, where weekly the patients can gather
and be entertained, the opening Of the
grounds IN front, and the introduction OF
plants and flowers. both indoor and out,
have had a wonderful effect in soothing the
unrest nj tho minis di,sauai Tho f.rcipy
Of the park, where the more violent can be
taken and given liberty without fear OF
their running away, has been the means Of
providing exercise for many who for years
