THE FAITHF UL DOG.

whether the four-footed friend be q
stately St Bernard, an aristocratic
greyhound, an intelligent spaniel, or a
homely mongrel, once won, his affec.

dogs. as witness the beautiful lines he
wrote on the death of favorite pet,

The Microbe of Evil.
DIR. LON broSO has written a paper in
which he demonstrates that there is a
peculiar magnetism in crowds, which
renders them open to suggestions of
crime and violence, and explains most
revolutionary crimes as committed by
people in a more or less hypnotic state.
This explains why some of the worst
horrors have not been the work of hab-
itual criminals. He quotes another au-
thority to prove that "a crowd is soil
in which the microbe of evil develops
easily, and the microbe of good dies
almost always for want of favorable
conditions" and that in crowd
the good elements are eliminated
and the bad multiplied by mathe-
matically unerring law. This is partly
due to the want of moral courage--men
being ashamed to show their better
feelings-partly to real hypnotic sug-
gestion, which in this article is made to
% duty to an extraordinary extent-as
it is supposed to explain even the fact
that pupil learns faster from favor
