What Ia the Self?

Who has not gazed in the mirror at
what others call his self until the sense of
opposition between the real self and that
at which be was looking became so intense
that he turned away almost frightened and
glad to sink again into the old familiar
sense of unity with his body? The more I
reflect the less does my body seem impor-
tant to me. / Am the inner life of thought.
Most of my thoughts I acknowledge as
truly mine, and most of the deeds that
spring out Of them recognize as belong
ing to me. But occasionally thought ap-
pears toward which sense Of strangeness
arises. 1t seems none Of mine, possibly
because it Is 80 much better than my
usual thoughts that it seems like breath
from higher world, possibly because it
is so wicked that am almost tempted to
believe 1T comes from devil, possibly

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
How Mr.. HoIman's Chronic Objectin
Caused Young Man Trouble.

How Mr.. Ho1man's Chronic Directing
4 Caused Young Man Trouble.
Judge Holman's chronic objecting has
been productive of some queer results, and
at times reduced him to sore straits.
1t is related by chronicler more or
less veracious that on one occasion con-
gressional tenderfoot was nursing a bill
with great assiduity, but he had the fear
of Holman ever before his eyes A wag
suggested to him that he had better SUBJ
NIT it to the judge and secure his indorse-
ment, stating that he was really a very
kind and generous man, but liked to be
coddled; SO, with fear and trembling, the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the great economist.
He was very much elated when the judge,
after glancing over his bill, said with
something approximating enthusiasm:
"My young friend, that is a very meritori-
GUS measure. I will indorse it. Indeed, If
it will be Of any assistance to you, will
myself ask unanimous consent for its con-
sideration."
The verdant member thought his for
tune made and returned to the wag happy
as lark to tell of his unexpected good
fortune. What passed through the wag's
thinker will never be known. He was SO
deliricus with the prospect for fun that
perhaps he doesn't know himself. 1t is
said that he rammed handkerchief into
his mouth, bit his lips and used other anti
doteswarranted to prevent audible cacchin-
nation. But here's what happened. Judge
Holman rose sedately in his place, received
recognition from the chair and said grave

Mothers whose daughters do a great

new cycling disease. People have been
declaring that they have been suddenly
seized with a wild impulse to jump
from their machines-an uncomfortable
impulse which apparently seizes them
at the most awkward times, such as
midway down a hill. 1t is no new thing,
after all-at least no newer than the
cultivation Of overstrung nerves among
u.s. People afflicted with this mysterious
malady have been OVERRIDING their rid

that their i'll treated nervous systems
have not taken it's revenge in an even
