Even though starting from new and
lust position, Nordau has gone astray.
Convinced of the scope of the new psy,
chiatric weapon which he had in his hands,
he has so far overshot the mark as to i'm
pair the effect of his purpose. More alien
list than the alienists, he no sooner finds
neurotic OF maddish author than he thinks
his work itself can be demolished. Thus,
after having demonstrated by very sub
tic analysis that in Wagner the philosophlc
ideas concerning life are contradictory OF
arobaic-such as the idea Of the struggle
between the flesh and the soul or between
She spirit and the senses-he concludes
that Wagner was therefore crazy and not
q genius Likewise, because of Tolstoi' s
mysticism or his destructive ideas on love
and science, he deems Tolstoi insane and
his books nonsense.
But probably all geniuses have the &C.
centricities and even the delirious ideas
which he notices in Toistoi, Wagner anc
Ibsen. The last chapter of Goethe's evil
helm Meister' is more incomprehensible
and extravaganza than the ideas of Tolstoi,
while Balzac's scientific opinions and his
innumerable fluids would find mates in
the literature Of insane asylums. To dem
onstrate that genfuses are insane is not
difficult, because, as and others before
me have shown, genius is a form of degen
erative neurosis. Certainly Poicteyin, Mai
larrne and Chill are degenerates and ever

Where they all came from was a mys-

lected this day to shop was incomprehensi-
ble-at least to the finite masculine mind.
But the big shop was packed and damned
with them. They all looked utterly tagged

Irritation.
Two women of widely contrasting types
paused for moment on the outskirts of
this human vortex. They stood at oppo-
site points, equally distant from that por-
ton of the long counter dedicated to
remnants. Neither was young. The
one, evidently country woman, had the
plsoidly stupid gaze of a Illuminating COW.
The other WAS distinctly product of New
York She was dressed in rusty black.
Bits OF Grape were pinned al uncertain in
tervals upon her costume. Her shabby
bonnet, with its drunken plume, was very
much over one ear. She wore the suspi-
cious but alert air of a terrier that has
been fooled too often by the cry of traits"

habit of carrying her elbows close to her
sides and letting her hands flop down

weight the country woman projected her.

The little woman gave yelp of disap-
pointment as she saw her rivals hard
open the purse and disclose goodly sized
roll of bills. Instantly her face cleaned
with malicious triumph.
Leaning over the counter, she called In
shrill voice: "Miss, here's a LADY,

meeting OF Cuban smypathizers was held
at the court house tonight. 1t was called
by the State Camp of Confederate
Veterans and the 6. A. R.
The most significant part of the pro-

offered by the Confederate camp, which
pledge the Confederate soldiers to
maintain, by arms, if necessary, the
rights of American people in any conflict
with any foreign nation, and claim that
the principles embodied in the deoiara-
ton of independence give to the cuban
people the right to throw off tho Spanish

The resolutions 'sdeny to our present
executive the right of espionage OF our
people to prevent them as individuals,
from aiding the Cuban people in this war
against Spaiu,' and add. " The Consti-
tuition of the United States was in a
large part the work of a great

DR.. Shrady, in The Forum, gives some of
the big fees that physicians receive from
wealthy patients.
For four weeks attendance during Uphold
fever the ply stefan to the Prince of Wales
received $4,000
1t is the countless homes in moderate
circumstances, however, that find it so hard
to pay for the frequent Doctors visits.
What the plain people want is the very best
medicine, yet not beyond their means.
They have it in Paines celery compound.
To prepare such great, popular remedy,
that should embody the most advanced
ideas regarding disease and be easily within
reach of the thousand modest homes where
sickness exists, was the lifelong ambition of
that eminent Dartmouth professor, the
greatest ply stefan America has produced,
Edward E Phelps, M. D., LID. Paine's
celery compound, that remarkable nerve
regulator and blood purifier, was first pre-
pared by Professor Phelps in the laboratory
of the Dartmouth medical school.
Paine's celery compound embodied the
sound theory of Professor Phelps that only
by feeding aud rebuilding worn. out, diseased
nerve tissues could firm health be restored.
This greatest of remedies sets to work at
once to store the nerve tissues and the
muscular tissues with the means of rapid
growth. 1t urges the excretory organs to
cleanse the blood, and fills it with new red
corpuscles. There has never been anything
like Paine's celery compound for building
up the system when tired out, weak and
bloodless. 1t has shown its marvellous
power in permanently curing nervous de-
bility and exhaustion, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headaches, dy spepsia,
rheumati IN, and disordered liver and blood
disease-these many ailments being due to
