A good story is told of the way in
which a New England senator was
once aroused to make a stirring speech.
At the outset of his political career he
had been known as remarkably clever
''orator of the stump" and later on, in
the lower house of the legislature, he
made a brilliant name for himself. But
when he became a senator he ceased
talking, much to the regret of his
friends and admirers. Finally the
liquor law came up for discussion, and
the wife of friend Of the senator,
who was much interested in it's passage,
was greatly disappointed to see that
the brilliant man had no apparent in
tendon of joining in the discussion.
She sat dowa and wrote a few words
on a sheet of paper, which she Enclosed
in an envelope and sent by messenger
to the senator. ''Do speak! Even Ba-
laam's ass spoke once!'' This brought
the senator to his feet and elected one
Of the best speeches he ever made.

THE LETTER IT"

French Grapholoeist Says That 1t In
81 d1cates the Writer'S Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter ST. alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality of
life, and the horizontal bar the influ-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality. IL. lz
In addition, he claims that the higher
part of the vertical line-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line CORE,
spends to the practical and material
part of the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
It's with line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet often crosses his It's quite above
the vertical line; in other words, in the
sky.
The pessimist crosses his It's with
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences at the ideal portion
of the letter, descends little by little I'M
til it is lost among the sad realities Of
earthly existence. ...~
The practical man, it appears, always
steers middle course, and crosses his
It's neither in the ideal nor in the ma
terial, but exactly midway between the

GENESIS .sof CRANK.
The Effect of Large IDEAS Upon Small

One Of the most interesting OF psy-a.
Geological studies, says the Century ii is
the effect Of a large idea upon q, 81 small all
mind. A large idea entering aIlarge
mind balances and dignifes it; it's eff.
feet upon small mind is often COM ~
pletely upsetting. The man becomes
INTEL ctually top-heavy and unsteady.
When one becomes obseryant OF this
phenomenon he finds much to amuse
and again much to deplore. He is
amused, for instance, to notice the re-
suit Of this overlo loading throughout a
long career. Where a subject is thus
acted upon by a succession of ideas,
each embodying an important truth.
which the man is incapable. Of carrying
his receptivity to Impression proves to
be his bane. The sudden realization
for the first time Of a fund amental prin-
ciple makes amonomaniac Of him. An
other sudden realizati ton of still another
fundamental principle and he is spin
ming off at a new tangent. Il
But there are times when this effect
Of large ideas upon little minds IS most
mischievous and deplorab1e. Thus is
bred the race of incurable cranks in
philosophy, theology, art and politics.
The word crank has been maliciously
misused for purposes of cynical ridi-
scule, but it is too descriptive a name
to be set aside. The congenial crank
is always started on his career. of in
utility by this application Of q big idea
to a small brain. The most firing
thing about him is his self-compla-
cency, owing to his knowledge Of the
fact that better men have been mis-
called by his own accurately descriptive
cognomen.

AFTER THE. ARMADA. !

The Combination Of Trade and Private
War Under Elizabeth. y
The defeat Of the Armada inspired
England with energy and hope. = Our
people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be-
came busy traders. Flemish traders
had been ruined by war, Flemish refu-
gees had fiocked into England, and
Antwerp, the great port for new world
commerce, had been sacked and taken,
England succeeded to the trade of which
the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond
the ocean lay a vast world of wealth
of which Spain. united with Portugal,
claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud-
ing English commerce from the larger
half Of the planet. Systematic VIC
lence-that is, the com bination of trade
with private war-Was the only mode
In which this monopoly could be ait
tackled. 70 =
Elizabeth connived at this covert mar
time war both before and after the
Armada, and the strug cycles between Eng
lish traders and Spanish monopolists
We're far too numerous and important
to admitof peace between the two gov
ernments. 1t was this spirit of com
mercial adventure, whether it be called
piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the
new world from the inquisition and
give it back to the free use of the human
race, which was the first step in the de-
velopment Of three colossal growths-
British trade, British empire, the Brit
ish navy.

Apropos OF Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt's
disagreement with his son, and the
latter's marriage to a woman very much
older than himself. the editor of The
Cosmopolitan, in the September issue,
seriously discusses the eduction most
useful to modern Life, and substantially,
if not in words, asks: ssDoes modern col
1ege education educate? The September
Cosmopolitan, as if to show magazine
can do, gives four complete stories in
this single number by such noted
authors as Frances Courtenay Baylor,
Maurice Thompson, Gertrude Hall, and
and John j. a'Becket, Louis Chandler
Moulton, Mrs. Lew Wallace, Francisque
Sarcey, l.. Zangwill, Agnes Reppler,
Norman Kerr, M. d., 81. G. Chatfeld-
Taylor, VIM. Eleroy Curtis, Robert E.
Strahorn, Colonel Hllman, and Ruth
McEnery Stuart are also among the
contributors to this one issue of a mag
azine that is sold for ten cents. Nor is
9A1s Ill. AnlOuB OGHei FWE1GofS HOG d!-
ready mentioned is Camille Flammarion,
who has an article on 'The Wonderful
New Eye of Science," which alone is
worth the entire price of the magazine.
The Cosmopolitan has been gradually
perfecting it's engraving and mechanical
departments, until the publishers believe
that. in the September issue, they present
number unrivaled! in artistic and mech.
anical excellence.
