Add,,ou.s Characteristics.

a. Addison is the very embodiment Of
that delightful gift of humor on which
we pride ourselves SO much as q special
~ English quality. That in its way his
style is the perfection of English style
is less dear and delightful to Us than
that what it conveys is the perfection Of
feeling. His art is the antipodes of that
satirical art which allows human ex-
cellence only to grid at it and insinuate
motives which diminish or destroy. Ad-
Olson, ON the other hand, allows imper-
fections which his Interpretation turns
into something sweeter than virtue and
throws a delightful CLEAN Of love and
laughter upon the eccentricities and
characteristic follies of individual ma
ture. That he sees everything is one Of
the conditions of his genial forgiveness
of all that is not mean or base or cruel.
With these he makes no terms Mrs.

The Old Time Singing School.


In the old colonial days when the
great and the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
were young the singing school was q
we'll established institution, writes Mary
E. Estes in very accurate article tell
ing exactly how 1.-THE old time concert"
may be reproduced at church enter
tainment in Ladies' Home Journal. 1t
was usually held in the village school
house, the schoolmaster often figuring
as the singing master. Thither at reg
ular intervals through the long winter
months tripped the grandmas with their
escorts. Little did they imagine as they
lifted up their sweet voices in unison
with the strong tenors and bassos that
those same airs, even the very gowns
they wore, would at some distant day
be reproduced for the benefit of an ap-
preciative audience. Yet it may be safe.
" asserted that with the exception OF
the colonial tea the old folks concert
is the most popular Of the old time en-
tertainments.
The success of an undertaking Of this
sort depends largely upon the adapta-
bility for her Office Of the person hav.
ing the affair in hand. She must of ne.
cessity have an accurate conception OF
the manner in which these entertain1
ments were conducted in our grand
mothers day. She must also become
thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF
hat Olden time.

The Polite British Waiter.

The extreme politeness of the average
English waiter is a continual source of
merriment.
He thanks you when he brings your
soup, again when he brings your nap
kin, when he takes away your plate,
when he happens to find you looking at
HMM fact, he says, "Thank you. at
every turn, and says it in such a jerky,
mechanical fashion that you cannot re-
press a smile. His example is followed
by the bus conductor, who thanks you
for your fare and thanks you again when
he hands you your ticket, and by the
theater usher when he seats you, and by
every servant you meet, in the most in.
appropriate manner. They overdo the
thank you" business, and always en-
ploy the same jerky manner and me-
chanical tone.-Chicago Record.

THE NUMBER THREE.

Some Curious superstitions Regarding It
In the Popular Mind.
There is superstitious regard for the
number three in the popular mind, and
the third repetition Of anything is gen.
orally looked upon as q crisis. Thus an
article may twice be lost and recovered.
but the third time that it is lost it is
gone for good. Twice man may pass
through some great danger in safety,
but the third time he loses his life. II,
however, the mystic third can be sue
cessfully passed, all is we'll Three was
called by Pythagoras the perfect num-
Der, and we frequently find its use SYM
bolical of Deity. Thus we might men-
ton the trident of Neptune. the three
forked lightning of Jove and three head
ed dog of Pluto. The idea of trinity is
not confined to Christianity, but &C.
ours in several religions.
In mythology also We find three fates,
three furies and three graces, and. COM
ing nearer to our own times, Shake
speare introduces his three witches. In
public house signs three seems to play
an important part, for We frequently
meet with "Three Cups, ''Three jolly
Sailors, '''Three Bells, "'Three Tuns.
Three Feathers fact, the number
of almost anything Of which fertile
imagination can conceive trio. In
nursery rhymes and tales this number
is not unknown. and if we look back to
the days of our childhood most Of us
will call to mind the three wise men of
Gotham who took a sea voyage in q
bowl, not to mention the three blind
mice that had their tails cut off by the
farmers wife. Perhaps there is some
occult power in the number which gov
ems the division of novels into three
volumes and induces doctors to order
their medicine to be taken thrice daily.
It is said that some tribes Of savages
cannot count beyond three. But, al
though they may have no words to ex-
press higher numbers, perhaps We should
be scarcely justified in assuming that
they are incapable Of appreciating the
value of the latter.-New York Adver.

Writers often express wonder that
any fruit OF vegetable should be found
without seeds, the acme Of surprise
seeming to be with respect to the seed
less orange The fact of the case is that
such examples are met with in almost
every variety of fruits and in several
kinds of vegetables. An instance which
can be cited in the apple is Mennecher's
Nocore, SO named because of both core"
and seed pits being entirely absent.
The Rutter pear is a SO called seed
less variety of that species Of fruit, but
believe that abortive seeds are occa-
sionally found in isolated specimens.
The ''zante," or seedless currant of the
grocery stores, is not currant at all,
but small species Of seedless grape. -

ABLE TO TRANSFER LUNACY.
Uncanny Result Of an Experiment In HyT
notism Made BY . Paris Doctor.

Uncanny Result Of IN Experiment I'm Hyp.
notism Made BY . Paris Doctor.
A series of very wonderful expert
ments which have just been concluded
by DR.. Luys of Paris, whose observa-
tons and discoveries in connection with
magnetism and electricity in relation
to hypnotism made a profound impress
sion upon the scientific world some time
ago, has led to remarkable result. The
latest discovery establishes the fact that
cerebral activity can be transferred to q
crown of magnetized iron, in which the
activity can be retained and subsequent
" passed ON to second person. Incred-
ible as this may seem, DR.. Luys has
proved its possibility by the expert
ments just referred to.
He placed the crown, which in real
ity is only q circular band of magnet
lied iron, ON the head of female pa
tent suffering from melancholia. with
a mania for self destruction, and with
such success was the experiment at
tended that within . fortnight the pa
tient could be allowed to go free with
out danger, the crown having absorbed
all her marked tendencies.
About two weeks afterward he put
the same crown, which meanwhile had
been carefully kept free from contact
with anything else, on the head of o
male patient suffering from hysteria,
complicated by frequent recurrent Pc
RODS of lethargy. The patient was then
hypnotized and Immediately conducted
himself after the manner of the woman
who had previously worn the crown.
Indeed he practically assumed her per.
sonality and uttered exactly the same
complaints as she had done. Similar
phenomena have, it is reported, been
observed in the case of every patient ex-
perimented upon. Another experiment
showed that the crown retained the i'm
preston acquired until it was made red
hot. London Telegraph.

WHAT IS GRsvITATIoNl
Some Examples That Seem to Answer the
Weighfy Question.

Some Examples That Seem to Answer the
weighty Question.
Two men at antipodes on the earth q
surface are drawn directly toward each
other Each is at the apex of a cone OF
the other. These cones interlock ut the
earth's center and are there equal, but
the greater part Of the mass Of each
cone and consequently the greater mass
Of gravity holding each to his place is
past the center Of the earth and culmi-
mates at the feet of the other.
Every point of the earth's surface
pulls in q straight line through the
center Of the earth. not stopping at it;
losing part Of the pound in proportion
as it approaches the center; then, pass.
ing, regaining it again in proportion as
it approaches the opposite surface. So
that half way past the center the pound
which at the center was nothing has
now become a half pound, and at the
antipodal surface pound again.
Make the center of the earth the COM
mon apex Of an indefinite number of
cones radiating to the surface. Accord
ing to mass, gravity pulls from the CEN
ter, and the center is again the point Of
nugation.
If gravity is an active essence pro-
duced by molecular motion, if being q
living essence, it is therefore a perish
able one, it follows that in a conglom-
crate mass, as the earth, some substances
will probably exhaust sooner than 9TH
ers by reason of expiration of molecular
activity, if that be its producer, or from
other or any cause. Being an active ex.
pending force, it must have a producer,
and that producer must have supplies OF
force producing matter. These supplies.
however great, must exhaust. Differ.
ent qualities of matter Gay contain thi:
force producing qualityIIn differing de-
grees and qualities. If SO, the minol
will sooner exhaust. A feather, a leader
ball and dry stick will fall through
space to our atmosphere with equal
speed because their atoms and the atoms
of the earth mutually attract each 9th
er regardless Of shape or size. Gravity
is atomic, and every atom is the equa
Of every other atom, nc matter how
diffuse or how concrete the mass of the
object of which they are parts. But
the dry stick may have lost its active
principle-gravity. Its essence produc
ing principles may have been exhausted
Nevertheless it would be grasped by the
overwhelming gravity Of the earth ant
brought down in company with its fel
lows
Gravity pulls laterally as well as per
pendicularly. The weight Of the eartt
has been calculated from the pull Of ,
mountain on a plumb line.
A person standing in narrow can
yon, with walls towering hundreds o.
thousands of feet above him ON eithel
side, has much better footing than i
on the pinnacle Of a monument. In ont
case he is held up by lateral gravity
In the other he is without support. r

A Dentist Says the Nerves In Them Are
Killed By Nicotine POISONING.

A Dentist Says the Nerves In Them Are
Killed By Nicotine Poisoning.
''There is one bad result of constant
cigarette smoking that very few people
know anything about" said Brooklyn
dentist. The result itself has been ap-
parent t. ne and to all dentists for q
long time, t1t the cause has been . mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves of teeth in every other way per-
feet have been found dead. A careful
examination of a dead nerve found in
an unexposed tooth recently revealed the
fact that it had been poisoned by nico-
tine. and thereby the mystery referred
to was solved Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking is killing the nerves
in the teeth of smokers. 1t is o most
serious state of affairs, although most
people will not understand. They think
q dead tooth is as good as live one.
They will find their mistake some day.
"a young woman whom have known
for some time came here the other day
and wanted a tooth attended to.
worked ON the tooth some time, and
some of the instruments used should
have made her scream little bit. But
she never made a sound, and naturally
concluded that the nerve of the tooth
was dead. 1t surprised me because the
tooth was a good one and the nerve un-
exposed. Well. extracted the nerve,
and the minute / saw it knew what
was the trouble.
" DO you want a live nerve left in
your head?' l asked.
why, of course, she replied.
=" Then stop smoking cigarettes,
said.
why, doctor. what do You mean?'
she began. Then she put on great
show Of indignation.
/" Ny dear young lady, I said,
what's the use of talking SO? I'm 9
dental surgeon and know thing when
/ see it. You have been smoking ciga.
rettes for long time, and my advice
was given in perfectly friendly spirit.
Well, she collapsed then, acknowledged
the truth of what had said, and that
ended it. don't think that cigarette
smokers figure this result of nicotine
poisoning in with the many other in
furious effects of the weed, but to my
mind it is tie most dangerous of all. y

VOICES OF THE HUMAN HEART.

I felt the breath Of the expiring year
Pass in the moaning breeze, and to my stghs
Glistened each star, as 'twere frosen tear
Upon the mute and Lonesome face OF night.
Time, in our breasts. that slumbers not NOR
sleeps,
Marks the faint murmur Of eternity
As ever round with rhythmic impulse sweeps
Sweet little eddy Of the life to be.
We look, and, 10! afar doth stretch the deep
With ebb and now amid the storm and calm.
Raising its thunderous praises to heaven 8
steep
Or chanting to the shore lowly psalm.
While in the ears that hear, from little hearts
That shrink and swell as with imprisoned
love,
Steal DER the silence Of their Utmost parts
The nearer echoes Of q voice above.
