81 am beginning to believe that there

but that every thought is revival or an
imitation or downright plagiarism OF
some one which preceded it years and
years ago" said Calvin s. Southwocd as
he warmed his feet against heater in
the rotunda of the Lindell. Even
the inventions that appear SO brand new
may have existed or their possibility
been suggested away back before the
dawn of history. At any rate this is evil

In this line, If in nothing else, history re-
peats itself and the world runs in cycles.

at once recognized as used once by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and which in different
form once ran across in an old book
containing the Canterbury Tales. Yes
terday read in magazine an article
by writer of national reputation, who
used as his own the expression, Pride
that dimes on vanity, sups on contempt.
"This expression was evidently taken
bodily from the Poor Richards Alma
mac of Benjamin Franklin, and this dis
tinguished philosopher l feel sure bor-
rowed it either consciously or uncon-
sciously from an old German book full
of folklore. Many of these old thoughts
in more recent writers are unconsciously
reproduced, and in their new dress can
hardly be recognized. "a guilty con.

recognized in Hamlet's soliloquy, Thus
conscience does make towards of us all,

shapes ages before that. No, there's

TAKING DESPERATE CHANCES.
The Sort of Risks People Run Every Da.
without Getting Scared

The Sort of Risks People Run Every Day
without Getting Scared.
Why don't more people die of pneumo-
mia, quick consumption and other. lung
troubles?
That is What l think every night in
upper Broadway. There you'll see q
score or two of men coming out of SUI
perheated theaters between the acts to
stand in unprotected full dress around
the cold and drafty Hobbies or out on
the sidewalk for chat or a smoke
You'll see them at the Madison Square
garden-square acres of white shirt
front-sitting for hours in an atmos-
phere suggestive of overcoats. They
pour out of clubhouses and hot restau-
rants at all times of the night, often in
dripping perspiration from exercise
and with careless or no provision against
the evils of sudden change of tempera-
ture. You can meet them on Broad
way with topcoats thrown wide open
and the chest exposed from necktie to
waistband.
Yet it is only now and then that we
know of a man who was out around
town in apparently good health the day
before yesterday who is corpse today.
There are more than thousand men
taking such desperate risks every night
during the fashionable season in New
York.
If you were to tell one of these that
he was running greater risk of sudden
death than if he were going into the
heat of an ordinary battle, he would
probably laugh at you. Yet it would
be the solemn truth.
If he were a soldier going into action
it would be with blanched face and
trembling knees and silent prayer,
whereas it is now with careless mien
and fippant tongue and spirited devil
try that he dares the awful specter of
death.
If he were confined to his room with q
mortal disease he would be surrounded
by his sorrowing family and anxious
friends, and his will would have been
made and duly witnessed. But being
| blessed with reasonable health and man
ly strength and the sublime confidence
of ignorance, he plunges into the danger
without a thought on his part or a qualm
of conscience on their part.
Lungs are not made of chilled steel.
Yet it is wonderful what they are daily
and nightly subjected to, and how much
| they will stand-sometimes. You must
often feel that they really are practically
indestructible, they are put to such Sc
we're tests and with SO little concern.
Pondering upon this, the faces of
scores of personal friends and acquaint-
ances who fell in the prime of manhood
men of stalwart frame and superb
muscular energy-rise before us in
memory, while the way is strewn with
physical wrecks of the mortally wound
ed victims of fashion.-New York Her

A Story About the Pansy.

A pretty fable about the pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. The flower has five petals and five
sepals. In most pansies, especially of
the earlier and less highly. developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain. in
color and three are gay. The two plain
petals have single sepal, two Of the
gay petals have sepal each, and the
third, which is the largest of all, has two
sepals. The fable is that the pansy rep
resents a family consisting Of husband
wife and four daughters, two of the lat
ter being stepchildren of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchildren,
with only one chair; the two small gay
petals are the daughters, with a chair
each, and the large gay petal is the wife,
with two chairs. To find the father one
must strip away the petals until the
stamens and pistils are bare. They
have fanciful resemblance to an old
man with flannel wrap about his neck,
his shoulders appraised and his feet in O

He was in his study ON a Saturday
night when visitor was announced,
and there entered one of his subterra-
mean parishioners, who, having eau

were no listeners, addressed his clergy

importance: "Mester Whitworth, you've

A London idea.

In certain London restaurants each
customer is allowed to make his Tor herr
own tea. The waitress lights the gas
burner, which is affixed to each table
and sets thereon a silver kettle. Then
she presents to the teamaker silver
raddy divided into compartments and
offering choice of Souchong, Ceylon or
green tea. Amy one who is compelled to
drink the lukewarm stuff called tea at
restaurants will appreciate the new idea,

to Dover with his hands and feet tied, a
somewhat difficult performance, seeing
that the distance he sought to cover is
six miles. This novel attempt natural

Clara Jane Edwards has placed on our

about the size of turkey eggs. Clara
Jane says that the hen that laid 'em has
laid two of this size every day for the
last four years, but has now gone to set

A sLuMeER SONG.

Sleep, oh, sleep, my lambs a-wearyl
Shining sunbeams all are DER.
'Tis the time when little children
Sail away to Slumber shore.
Gliding, gliding to the music
OF a tender lullaby,
Gently drift the little children
When the stars come out on high.
Oh, the lovely flowers that open
Right across the Slumber seal
Float away, my birds that twitter,
For the dreamship waits for ye.
Softly to the swaying grasses
Fall the gracious drops eff dew,
Yet more softly at the cleaning
Close the bairnie's eyes Of blue.
