HUMAN TEMPERAMENTs.
The Fourfold Classification Made Tws
Thousand Years Ago.

| The Fourfold Classification Made Two
Thousand Years Ago.
1t is interesting to find so thoroughly
scientific man as Prof. William Preyer
has adopted the fourfold classification
of temperaments made nearly two thou
sand years ago-namely: the choleric.
sanguine, melancholy and lymphatic.
The existence of one or the other OF
these temperaments may be discovered,
he says in his work on THE Infant
Mind" very early in the great major
ity of children--in the second quarter
of the first year, beyond doubt.
Nearly every one who has written
about temperaments has made a CLASH
fication of his own. Galen had nine,
Haycock give six, Graham Brown seven,
and others have got down as low as
two. Modern writer's use the word
nervous for choleric, and bilious for
melaucholic temperament. With these
verbal notifications the old classifica-
ton seems to answer all practical pur-
poses, and individuals can build up
combinations as needed.
Hutchison defines temperament az
Vic sun "a ehC Pisyoicdi pccuiidrltleS
of a man, exclusive of his tendency to
disease. This is not satisfactory, though
perhaps temperament is a thing little
too vague to be satisfactorily defined.
In modern terms it may be said to be
the peculiar way in which the indi-
vidual reacts to the stimuli of his en-
vironment. There is no doubt that one
class of persons react quickly and
easily, expanding energy profusely and
often needlessly in their life work;
others react hopefully and work buoy
antly, yet with less waste. We can
thus distinguish the nervous. the san
guine, the melancholic, etc. A capacity
to recognize and appreciate the i'm
portance of temperament used to be
considered part of sound medical
training. 1t has been too much neglect,
ed in our pursuit of minutiR with
microscopes and test tubes. Our teach
ers Of practical medicine might well
revive its study. Medical Recorder.

"Now, me boy, We see it's this way.
This lady needs We more'n do tonight,
and SO yen place me best if We bide
here with her. Don't let anyone harm
her, and stay here till come for We"
.Toots walked over and licked his
masters hand.
Good boy! Ye're the best friend !
have" said Ranney. patting him,
whereat Toots cooked up his ears and
wagged his tail.
Now, lie down and show the lady ye
mean to stay"
Toots obeyed and quietly watched
his master go.
After carefully locking every door
and window, Mrs. Stocker sat down to
write a letter. She found it hard to in
fuse a properly cheerful tone into it,
and caught herself listening fearfully
to every sound. The dog settled down
to comfortable nap, and seemed not
in the least disturbed by the shrieks of
the wind or the rafting of win
dows. She began to fear that if any
one broke in, Toots would not even
hear it.
The ticking of the clock was almost
unbearable, while it's deliberation
seemed purposely to lengthen the min
utes as they passed. The wind in
creased in fury. She peered into the
darkness, but could see nothing beyond
the swaying trees. Toots looked at
her inquiringlv, but as nothing alarm
ing was to be heard settled down once
more to sleep.
Mrs. Stocxer took up book, but
found it impossible to keep her mind
upon it. Frightful and menacing faces
rose before her. and all the tales of
violence that she had ever heard came
back to her. She walked the floor,
forcing herself to think of faraway
scenes in her happy girlhood, only to
be brought back to the present by some
fresh rattle of door or window that
sounded as if some one were trying to
get in.
At last fatigue made her drowsy.
She carried the lamp into her bedroom
and left it burning, so that anyone who
passed might think the family were
awake, md then lay down without un-
dressing. AS she dozed off she was
now and then awakened by the scrap
ing of the shrubbery upon her window,
and, though she did not believe in
signs and portents, it sounded to her
like the tapping of the willow wand
that foretells approaching death.
At last she looked at the clock, and
saw that in all these sleepings and
wakings. which had seemed to occupy
a lifetime, half-hour had gone by
She lay down again and at last sank
into deep sleep.
She was awakened by a gust that
shook the house. As the wind lulled,
she thought she heard noise at the
front door. She rushed into the parlo.

THAT LITTLE KID.

When see little youngster
Wrapped in long and swaddling clothes.
Strapped inside his wicker carriage,
Out OF sight except his nose:
When he's left with dancing sunlight
Torturing each blinking lid.
Then with all my heart I'm thankful
That I'm not that little kid.
When see him In the nursery,
& BY the fire warm and bright
Playing with his toys and trinkets.
Laughing. gay from morn till night
Keeping mother, aunt and sisters
Running hither at his bid.
Lest his life should know trouble
Would I were that little kid
When watch his helpless actions
AS he tries alone to walk.
When hear his wordiess prattfe
As he does his best to talk
When think what tiresome studies
He must have as we once did;
Really / am very thankful
Am not that little kid.
But!-when declSed with bows and ribbons
On his mas reception day.
Beld by scores of budding maidens,
Loved and Rugged. he hears them say:
Let me hold him" kiss me, darling!"
Pressed TO scores Of lips and hid
In their arms by clouds of kisses
Jove.-i wish was that kid

WHEN MY LADY SLEEPS.

The Gown She Wears Is Much BerIbboneo
and Profusely Trimmed With Lace.
The new night-robes are victims OF
the lace craze, like all else which per.
tains to my lady's wardrobe. They
are gay with ribbons, too. ana many
are pretty and elaborate enough to
appear as tea-gowns
The night-robe in best taste is white.
A dainty and not too dressy gown is
made of sheer cambria, with deem
yoke of Torchon lace. This is outlined
with rufile of cambria edged with
the lace, SO that the whole appears
much like sailor collar. 1t is fas-
tened in front with narrow white
MORE ribbons The full sleeves are
also tied with little bow at the wrist,
and finished with deep fall of lace.
Night-gowns of nainsook are trimmed
deliberately with Valeuciennes lace.
Many of the gowns have the lace in.
sertion arranged to simulate a BoIero
Jacket. The lace frills which outline
it make the effect soft and pretty.
White embroidery with a colored
edge is much in favor for the less ex-
pensive night-gowns, and coarse, en-
broidered yokes are finished with head
ing through which narrow ribbons are
run. A rather eccentric novelty, and
one which presumably will not be well
coined with fervent joy, is the gown of
delicately tinted chambray, trimmed
with ecru insertion and lace.-N. Y.

mistakes Of Nervous Singer,

The effects of nervousness are varied
and amusing. One young mezzo-so-
prano was prevented just in time from
walking on to the platform in huge
pair of fur-lined overshoes. which were
put on above her slippers and which
contrasted comically with her dainty
gown. Another songstress, who was
gifted with good verbal memory, was
singing without a note. During q
rather elaborate symphony, preceding
the second verse of her song, she
CHANGED idly to glance at the book of
words which she was holding. Con-
fusion followed. She could not link
the melody with the poem. 1t was
terrible moment but she stepped
swiftly to the piano. glanced at the ac-
companist's copy and finished her song
con amore! 1t appeared. on inspection,
that by a printers error two lines OF
her song had been left out of the book
Of works This had confused her and
WIS the cause of her failure to blend
words and music together.-Atlantic.

As the negress paused for breath,
Mrs. Stocker heard heavy pounding
at the front door, and, still smiling at
Dinah's duet-like efforts, hurried round
the house.
On the porch she found testy and
eccentric old man who gazed with
marked displeasure at her lovely face,
and, unappeased by her friendly smile,
roared out: What in thunder's going
on in this house "a prayer-meeting. or a

II s'pose you don't know how to write
receipt?" he queried, with his chin
cooked ENORMOUSLY in the air.
II think ! could" said she, smiling.
well, I've been owing your husband
some money for three years, and
couldn't even pay the interest, cause
people didn't pay me; but I've had a
stroke o. luck, and here's the money.
Gimme q receipt. and we'll be quits"
he said, as he lifted heavy bag lying
beside him.
''Oh, dear mew she exclaimed; could
you not give me check for it? Pm

He looked upon this feminine tim

bachelor, and promptly snapped: "No,

She reflected that this crusty person
might never make another effort To

and gave him receipt.
When he was gone she hid the gold
among some scrapbags in dark corner
of her bedroom closet
As the day wore on she grew anxious
and nervous. There occurred to her
