Not So Funny, After All.

The misfortunes of others are filled with Irresistible humor in many cases, particu- larly in the more trifling acts of every day. To sec q man- sit on his eewn stiff hat is rclishcd with keen enjoyment by every other man in sight. If another man finds that tho crush has come in reality to his own headgcar after laughing wildly at tho supposed hard luck of his friend, then tho situation is a thousand times funnier.
 A young man with this human trait strongly developed swung down Washing ton street at Q sharp pace. He carried his mackintosh flung over his arm. At tho crossing of Fifth avenue there was rattle of coin, and shower of nickels and dimes raincd on tho pavement from some un- known region. No one was more aston ished than tho young man, and he stopped with great interest and watched passers eye the scattered currency askance and then shyly, as in fear of a trick. Finally all of the pieces had been picked up by small boys and other sensible pedestrians, and still there was no trace of the source The curious young man enjoyed tho incl dent and the study of human nature that it afforded and had got about two blocks farther on his way when his face length ened instantly as he exclaimed, By love, that change fell out of my macintosh pocketl'--Chicago Times.

hoped that his military and political studies would one. day meet in the oulmi nation of grand career. Those years of his life whioh appear like realization of the plan were, in fact, the least success full. The unsoundness of his political in- structors and the temper of the age com bined to thwart this ambitious purpose.
 Rousseau had every fascination for the young of that time-a captivating style, convincing logic, the sentiment of poet the intensity of a prophet. A young Cor sican would be doubly drawn to him by his interest in that romantic island. Sit- ting at the feet of such Q Gamaliel the young scholar would learn through con- vincing argument tho evils of a passing social state ns they were not taught else- where. He would discern the dangers of ecclesiastical authority, of feudal privilege, of absolute monarchy. He would sec their disastrous influence in the prostitution not only of social but of personal moral ity He would become familiar with the necessity for renewing institutions as the only means of regenerating society. All these lessons would have q value not to be exaggerated. On the other hand, when 1t came to the substitution of positive teach ing for negative criticism, he would learn nothing or faluC ana much Inut was most dangerous. In utter disregard of a sound historical method there was set up as the cornerstone. of the new political structure a fiction of tho most. dangerous kind Bonnparte, in his notes, written as ho read, shows his contempt fort in an ad mirable rcfutation of tho fundamental CT TOT of Rousseau as to tho state of nature by this remark: T believe man in tho state of nature had the same power of sensation and reason which he now has" But if he did net accept the premises there was portion of the conclusion which ho took with avidity, the most dangerous point i'll all Rousseau's system-namely, the doctrine that all power proceeds from the people not because of their nature and their historical organization into families and communities, but because of an agree. mcnt by individuals to secure public or der and that consequently, the consent given, they can withdraw; the order they have created they can destroy. In this lay . not merely the germ but the whole sys. tenn of extreme radicalism, tho essence, the substance and tho sum of tho French revolution on its extreme and doctrinaire side.-Professor William NJ.

QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.
Superstition Flays Leading Role With
 Youu.. Men and hIsidens.

It is customary in Polish villages to strew straw over tho Christmas evo sup. per tables, and for the young people, blindfolded or in the dark, to pick out each straw thercfrom. Should tho straw be green tho lucky maiden expects to wear bridal wreath or the youth to lead Q blushng bride to the altar during tho ap- preaching year, but dried straw foretells to either long waiting, possibly even until death.
 In other rural Polish districts on the "Christs eve" wine, beer and water are placed by girl between two candles on q table. She then retircs into a corner or an adjoining room to watch tho result re- 1ected in a mirror hung for this purpose. If ns the clock strikes midnight man enters and drinks the wine, she is happy, for her woocr will be rich. Should he drink the beer, she may be content, for tho wooer will be well to do. If tho water be chosen, her husband will be very poor. But if as the clock strikes no man comes to her table the anxious maiden shiverS with more than midnight terror, believing that she is doomed to be early the bride of death.
 Poland is peculiarly rich in these ob servances, spreading themselves through out tho year. both sexes being equally superstitious in this respect. On New Years eve tho young unmarried men place themselves before fire, and bending down look beneath their legs. Should a woman appear in the background it is the ono they will marry, but if they see shape as of coffin it forebodes for them death during tho year close at hand.-Philadel- phia Press
