The Fun That Adam Missed.

That Adam was n lonely man
I'm ready to believe,
Although his many days were blest
With natures fairest Eve.
BY maidens, aunts, and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus / often think about
The fun tina. Adam missed.
II seems TO me his life was like
An oft repeated dream.
He never treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
He never, when a little boy,
BY grownup girls was kissed,
And when he died he never knew
The fun that he had missed.
He never went security
And had the note to pay;
He never saw his banks cashier
Steal gracefully away.
In all his life ne never by
A mother-in-law was kissed
But why go on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed?
Perhaps IL he was living now
But, then, why Speculate
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed.
Perhaps ne sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed

this writer's work sets forth In clearer
day than has hitherto been done the ge-
MUS OF a woman whose life has been en-
veioped in clouds and mainly seen
through vague snatches of scandal.
The book is a recognition that the great
man of Russia was a woman.
Catharine stood alone. In the develop
ment OF other States the ministers have
OFTEN played greater parts than the SOW
ereigns. as Richelieu than Louis Kill.
bismarck than William H., and there
have not been lacking prejudiced sneers
that successful female sovereigns nave
owed their greatness to the men about
them.
But around Catharine's throne the chief
men were mere auxiliaries that played
subservient and feeble role. She could
truly say Of herself: II have made war
without generals and peace without min
listers"
There was never, perhaps, more one

Il Love Could Rule the World

III love could rule the universe,
How changed would all things be.
He would remove in language terse
All bars in his decree
No rank could ever intervene
To stay affections course,
'TwOuld bow its head with lowly mein
Before his gentle force.
The earth would be so bright
The radiant sun
Would shed its warmth and light
For every one.

An Empress love her page.

Might throw her winsome gage.

With banner high unfuried,

Could Love but rule the world.
How happy all would be,
An Eden vale
Again the earth would see.

THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY.
Experiments That Have Been Made
Upon the Human Body,

In the term ''the new Psychology" there must
be included other scientific work that that of
laboratory experiments but the research that
is being made in the laboratory must secure
very valuable data that can BE- used in cOnnec-
tiOn With other material. The great problems
OF perception, association and vuliton are being
brought from the domain of theory into the
partial grasp OF science. The structure and
Importance of nerve tissues are being
studied, but in connection with the phySi-
Cal phenomena or mental action science now
measures the speed OF willimpulse, as it
formerly measured the flight of sound wave;
and eXperimenters "sleep on balances with

These researches, while they deVPlOD much
that Is OF interest in the new psychology, give
only a section Of the whole truth, and develop
much that is of no present apparent use for the
ADVANCE oil educational methods. Still, the
pSycho-physcS laboratory is one factor IN the
modern basis OF education. Another factor is
TO be found In comparative psychology. which
seeks 10 trace, after the manner of the student
Of evolution, the growth of the instincts or
innate characteristics OF man. This STUDY
OF comparative psychology involves great
patience and labor. but great naturalists
