THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY.

re-. Stanley Hall, in the August forun-I
The one chief and immediate field OF
annIication for all this work Ghe New
Psychology is it's application TO educa-
tion. considered as the science of hu-
man nature and the art of developing
it to its fullest maturity. 1t is especially
onnosed to low views of higher educa-
ton which are so prevalent often in
higher places 1t regards all the real
history of the world, from protoplasm

trograde movements, as educational.

tuition nation. or period, subject, and
man. is Judged by it's service to educa-
ton in this large sense. Philosophy in
orr colleges has often gone into by
WAYS and forbidden ways: it's only JUS
tification is the service it can render
to education So far from this being
an application of it to utilitarian ends,
it is it's highest conservation; for, when
we say of anything that it is good,
true, or beautiful in itself, we mean it
is purely educat ional. 1t suggests a
new development of ethics in some city
of Hygeia on the basis of health which
is already we'll begun and which can
always be appealed to with all classes.
It suggests that sociology must be
based on biology, and psychology as
above described, or it will ride so high
a horse that it cannot see the ground
under it,; it will teach only the dy-
namics of selfishness unless it has un-
derstood the history of the world as a
love-story, somewhat in Drummond's
sense, only more adequately treated.

STORIES OF NAPOLEON.
His Game of Billiards With Lnnnes

lfrO1n the N. i. fIeCOrQer.J
While the first consul was living at
Malmaison on certain day a lot of very
fine Arab horses were delivered in the
courtyard of the palace for the use of the
head of the state. Among the guests
who were present, all of whom admired
the consignment of handsome steeds, was
Napoleon always trusted, because he was
whose bravery, as well as judgment, was
beyond dispute. Lannes laughingly sug-
gested to the First Consul that they
should play a game of billiards for one
of the horses. He staked a fair amount
in cash and the game was begun.
Now, although Napoleon was one of
! the best mathematicians of the age, and
although 1t is said that billiards is only
applied mathematics, the great general
was only an Indifferent wielder of the
cue. So Lannes had the game all his own
way and claimed horse as his prize. He
hurried from the billiard room to the
courtyard, and, jumping on the back of
the handsomest Steed in the lot. eXclaim-
ed to Bonaparte: "Well, general, ] shall
not dine here. I'm off. If I were to stay
! thou wouldst be capable of taking back
thy horse"
This was little too cavalier treatment
for Napoleon to relish. He thought too
much of Lannes to quarrel with him, but
! he directed his generals removal from
court, for fear his carelessness of ETH

| FIRST Consul. He made Lannes the am

Well, told them they'd have to pay
toll. They agreed to that, and then
asked what else they'd have to do, but
1 said we'd attend to one thing at a
time. First let the toll be paid.
They went off and in due time they
came back. Some brought corn and
some brought meal; some brought
wheat and some brought flour; some
brought milk and some brought but

and some brought honey in the comb;
some brought one thing and some
brought another, but they all brought
something.
Then they gathered around and
asked what else they had to do.
Well says you certainly act as if
you wanted rainfall of you-there's
no disputing that. You have paid the
toll according to agreement. You have
surely earned the rain, and now there's
nothing for me to do but to find out
how much rain you want
with that they all began to talk at
once, especially Brother Bear, who
lived in the upland district, where the
drought had been the worst, but L put

THEY WE'RE DISAPPOINTED.

When the talk turned upon General
Sheridan at New York dinner table
the other evening, the host told a story
of how bitterly the generals figure on
horseback had disappointed some young
women up on the Massachusetts coast.
They had never seen Sheridan, but,
mindful of his ride, they had ready for

said one of the guests when the host
had ceased speaking. "a friend of
mine met him the next day, and MOTTO

Mr.. RABBIT AS A RAIN MAKER.
81 hope it won't rain" said Sweetest
Susan, "for then the spring would fill
up and we couldn't get out, and we
should get wet down here"
ooh, no." replied Mr. Thimblefinger;
the water is never wet down here.
1t is a little damp, that is all.''
well, that is enough, L am sure,
remarked Mr.. Rabbit. ut is enough
to give ME the wheezes when L first
get up in the morning, and it is not at
all comfortable, L can tell you"
There is one funny thing about
springs" said Mrs. Meadows; mo mat
ter how much it rains, they never get
any fuller. They may run a little
freer, but they never get any fuller.
Speaking of rain" she continued,
turning to Mr. Rabbit and laughing,
don't you remember the time you set
yourself up for rainmaker?"
Mr.. Rabbit chuckled so that he
nearly bent double.
Il don't remember that" sighed Mr..
Thimblefinger You two have more
Jokes between you than you can shake
a stick at That comes of me being
small and puny. Tell us about it,
please"
Mr.. Rdbblt fingered MS plpe-a way
he had when he put on his think ng
cap, as Mrs. Meadows expressed it
and presently said:
Its not such a joke, after all: but
I'll let you judge for yourself Once
upon a time. when all of us lived
next door, on the other side of the
spring, there was a tremendous
drought. / had been living a long
time but l had never before seen such
q long dry spell. Everybody was farm
ing, except myself, and even 1 had
planted a small garden.
well, there was a big rain about
planting time, but after that came the
drought, and the hot weather with it.

ten weeks-and still no sign of rain
The cotton was all shriveled up, and
the corn looked as If it would catch
a-fire, it was so dry; even the cow
peas turned yellow. Everything was
parched. The creeks ran dry, and the
rivers got so low the mills had to stop.
I remember that when Brother Bear
tried to carry me across the ferry his
fatboat ran aground in the middle of
the river, and the water was SO low we
found we could wade out.
The drought got so bad that every
body was complaining eX-

Bear would come and sit on my front
porch and do nothing but complain;

fPresently they went away, but it
wasn't long before they came back,
bringing with them all the neighbors
for miles around. They gathered in
the porch and in the yard and outside
the gate and begged me, if / was a
rainmaker, to make it rain there and
then, to save their crops. They begged
me and begged me, but 1 sat cross
legged and smoked my pipe-this same
pipe you see here. Brother Fox, who
had done me many a mean trick
Ghough he was always well paid for
iD, got on his knees and begged me to
make rain for them.
Finally 1 told them that I'd make
rain for the whole settlement on two
conditions. The first condition was
that every one was to pay toll.
s Toll is the pay the miller takes out

bon, and kept him there for a long time.
The doughty marshal was not fitted for
life in palaces, however, and it was in
the coming struggle with Europe on the
field that he distinguished himself, rather
than in the realm of diplomatic finesse,
where he was something of a blunderer.
HIS BLUNDER IN SEALING A LET
TER.
Probably no man ever lived who was
more in need of good private secretary
at all times than Napoleon Bonaparte.
He had a marvellous capacity for pre-
venting blunders on the part of others,
and almost as much for making them
himself when necessity o.. his caprice led
him into attempting strictly clerical
work.
At Schonbrunn, having signed the trea-
ty of peace with Austria, he had written
two letters, one intended for the Emperor
at Vienna, the other for the Car a. Mos
COW. A Russian officer was waiting for
the latter and an Austrian general for
the former.
Under the influence of one of those
whims which often controlled him, Ma
poleon began to seal these letters him.
self He closed up the packet addressed
to Vienna and handed 1t hlnseIe to tie
Austrian general. Then his attention was
distracted and Meneval was left to seal
the other.
AS good luck would have it, the private
secretary noticed at once that it was the
letter for Vienna which had been let, and
the conclusion was irresistible that the
one intended for the Car of All the Rus
sias had started, post-haste, for the capt
tai of Austria. Meneval called the notice
of Napoleon to the error at once, though
it may have required no little bravery te
thus convict his master of a serious blum
der. The French emperor expressed MS
thanks, and a fast rider was dispatched
to overtake the Austrian messenger anc
get back the letter that had been 1ntrust
ed to him. This was accomplished anc
no bad results ensued.
From that time it appears that Napol
con was more careful about meddlins
with matters that should be left witt
clerks He often TESTED with Meneva
about this incident, which would nave aI
been held to justify the discharge OF Ins
blunderer In any foreign office in Europe
even if the offender had been the meres1
neophyte in diplomacy.
