Stumng the Savages.

The South Sea Islanders who fled in
dismay when they saw Il white man
tako of one OF his legs. could hardly
be more astonished than the two Mat
abele chiefs, il they swallowed all the
yarns that were told them during their
recent visit to London. They were as
sured, for instance, by their humorous
guide, when they witnessed the aero
batic performances at Que of the thea
ters, that such feats OF strength and
agility were required OF all Englishmen
before they could aspire to be warriors,
and that the gentlemen in tights wero
merely undergoing the training needed
TO fit them for the army, The audience
had attained perfection in aerial
maneuvers. and ground and lofty tum-
bling, and were merely applauding tho
young aspirants who were striving for
excellence. There Is some reason to
believe this whopper was taken with
considerable salt for one Of the chiefs

Goethe and His Doppelgsnger.

Goethe, when young man, was
resting by the roadside on one occa-
sion when he observed the figure OF a
middle-aged gentleman approaching
him on horseback. There was some-
thing in the features and general ap-
pearance of the stranger that attracted
his attention in a marked degree, for
the face and figure seemed to be his
own, although older and more devel-
oped. In their costume, howeve., /,
there was no similarity whatever, for
while the stranger wore the robes Of a
councillor Of state, the young poet
wore the ordinary dress OF civil life.
In the course OF years afterward and
when the circumstance had been
nearly forgotten 1t was brought before
him again in most startling manner,
for one day while passing the very spot
where he had long since encountered
the stranger he found himself similarly
mounted and riding along leisurely and
perceived that in form and feature he
was now the very counterpart OF the
mysterious horseman and, to crown the
miracle, his costume was the same tc
the minutest detail, as he was himself
now councillor OF state also.

kindly and inquired particularly after

she lives is not at all prepossessing;

WHAT is COURAGE2
Most Men Are Brave More from Pride
Than from Pluck.

Most Men Are Brave More from Pride
Than from Pluck.
The one first, best, highest quality
that we recognize inman is moral cour-
age. Physical courage may be mat
ter O. physical condition, and is COM
mon to animals. The bravest animal
only fights when 1t is hungry or called
upon to protect its young, or to defend
itself, OF in the mating season. There
never was man born OF woman brave
enough to fight black cat in dark
room voluntarily, with no one to have
knowledge of the encounter or to look
on and applaud. Moral courage is the
growth of principle; physical courage
is the result of pride.
The best traitor at least one OF the
best traits-of the human character is
pride; it is the synonym OF thousand
virtues. A proud man will go open
eyed to deliberate death. no other ami
NAL that lives will willingly encounter
destruction. The dude is hero ON the
battlefield because he is dude. The
man who is proud, well born and moves
in good society, who is ambitious OF
the esteem OF men, the love of women,
the honors of life, will expose himself
at the head of fighting squadrons, on
decks where bursting shells are hurt
ling, and on the field OF honor, mid
conhagrations and storms to do duty
that will win applause. San Francisco
Argonaut.

FAps OF BOSToNIANS.
They Are Merely tho Outward Clrrum

They Are Merely the Outward Clrrum-
stances OF Mental Amusement.
Although the outer world, the ma
tions living in the darkness beyond the
zone illumined by the light reflected
from the gilded dome on Beacon Hill,
is fond of discussing the eccentricities
of Boston people, they seldom appear
to understand them. The mental at
titude OF the genuine Bostonian in re-
gard to what are popularly known as
"fads" seems to be matter absolutely
beyond the comprehension OF all those
who have not shared 1t.
A fad, properly speaking is any sort
of theory or idea which the class OF
people who think for amusement may
chance for the time being to take up in
considerable numbers. The accidents
OF the pursuit of this idea are usually
the formation of clubs, with discus
sions. the reading of essays and any
other. mental gymnastics which the
particular character Of the fad may
suggest. These accidents, being most
in evidence, are usually received by
outsiders as the essentials. and it is
not uncommon for New Workers and
Westerners to manifest not little irri-
tation that the people who should
know better waste their time over fol-
lies so obviously childish and futile.
The truth of this matter is, after all,
simple, as the truth is apt to be. The
people of Boston have the most practi-
cal and manageable imaginations OF
any folk in this round earth. They
come of race which has turned its
imagination to theological uses until
it has become. so to say, house broken.
1t will fetch and carry, play one hun
dred harmless tricks and devote itself
to the amusement OF its master with
ali the docility and far more than the
ingenuity OF the cleverist spaniel or
terrier OF them all. And the educated
Bostonian is quite clever enough to
perceive the possibilities of the enter
tainment in this quality Of his imagina-
tion, and Boston fads are simply the
outward circumstances OF what is real
ly game OF mental amusement.
Obviously one of the first qualities
of any successful use of the imagina-
tion is seriousness; and the Bostonian
takes his fads with seriousness truly
beautiful to behold, be it theosophy,
transcendentalism radicalism, or any
other ism whatever; be it the poetry OF
Browning or Shelley; or some artistic
adventurer with flute-like voice and
heart-tormenting manner, the faddist
to coin a word which is surely
needed-gives himself up for the time
being with deliberate and grave self
surrender which mas no Reservation
save the important one OF the secret
inner consciousness that the whole is
but a pastime to be enjoyed while it
lasts and be discarded like broken
toy when it ceuses to amuse. This is
