Bad Men Always Insane.

Much Of the tyranny and despotism
of the world has been the result OF cere-
bral disease, and il justice had been
done, not few Of the rulers of history
would have been confined in asylums
for the insane. Caligula, the despotic
Roman emperor, was certainly lunatic:
His accession to the throne was greeted
with Joy by the Roman people, and he
aiterward became so popular by the gen.
erous and conciliatory acts OF his reign,
that when he was attacked with sickness,
sacrifices were offered in the temples for
his recovery.
His brain undoubtedly grew diseased
during his sickness, for from that time
he became changed man. The remain
ing four years Of his reign were dis
graced by some of the most un,
natural and capricious tyranny recorded
in history. The career of Nero was
something like that of Caligula IN
youth he was notably clever. kindly and
amiable, and for the first five years o.
! his reign he ruled with clemency ant
Justice, He was at this time so harasse'
by the attempts of his mother to wres
the sceptre from his hands that his brai
probably became distorted, and he wa
metamorphosed into tyrant. -,

some of the other tyrants OF kom

boarded the train. and were very loving

quiet. Finally tho station in question
was reached, and just after the whistle
sounded the groom gave the bride
rousing smack on the lip, and the brake
man opened the door and shouted:

PHILOSOPHY.

We have so many systems of philosoph that
almost any man can be suited. All he has to do
is to look around and take his choice. Perhaps
for good, solid practical every day philosophy
the first Napoleon stood at the head of his con-
temporaries His idea was that the concentra-
tion OF force on one given point at given time
was bound to win. This principle is applica-
bic to every act of life. Whether man is do
ing mechanical or intellectual work he will find
that he can doit exceptionally well if he con-
ccntrates his best mental and physical powers
and directs them to the matter in hand. This
is equally true Of writing paragraph, making
speech, driving nail or shoyeling dirt To
do his best work man must put his whole
mind into it. This was the Napoleonic method,
and there is common sense, genius and magic

NEUROPIIOBIA.

NCurophobia is the name of new disease.
ltis nothing more nor less than tho unaccount-
able dislike which some people have for certain
streets, places and objects. 1t is common
thing to find in our large cities nervous per-
sons, who cannot be induced to so into certain
streets or to visit certain buildings. They can
give no reason for their prejudice, but II by
any chance they find themselves in the oD]cc-
tionabe places, they fall into paroIysms Oh
nervous terror. With women neurophoo''
concerning colors is not uncommon. 1t Is GER
