OUR FAIRY G0DMOTH-
EIaS.


The trouble with most people
is that they grow up with the
expectation that they will some
day have fortune Of their
Own, without any exertion on
their part to gain it. The source
from whence this fortune is ex-
pected is generally more or less
vague, but few indeed are they
who do not await the day when
their ship shall come in laden
with wealth. These dreams of
future good fortune doubtless
spring from the fairy tales of
our youth. What boy or girl
does not feel that be or she has
somewhere a fairy god mother
who will appear at the proper
moment to turn their pump
kins into golden coaches, their
simple garments into cloth of
gold, and whirl them away to
the waiting prince or princess
who will make them rich and
happy ever aftera 1t may be
that the eternal spring Of hope,
which the poet says flows in
the human breast, helps to feed
these fancies aud Keep them
alive. But no matter whence
they come or how sustained,
the truly fortunate person is he
who realizes in time that he
must be his own fairy god
mother; that his ship is not
likely ever TO come into port
unless he first sends one out
manned with resolution and
laden with strong endeavor to
win on the high seas OF life the
coveted fortune. Hope and am
bitten are very wholesome SEN
timents to possess, put they
must prove useless unless com
bined with steady determine
ton and pluck. We may "live
in hope," as the saying goes,
but it will be very poor sort
of 'hand to mouth" living, un-
less backed by something more
substantial. Parents should |
early instil this belief in their
children's minds, teaching them
that in the battle of life every |
man must depend chiefly upon
his own efforts.

THE insanity dodge, by which

The insanity dodge, by which
so many murderers have escap-
ed punishment for their crimes,
is no longer the thing in legal
circles. People were beginning
10 suspect the dodge, and so
the medical experts" have
discovered a new desease by
which murderers may evade
the law. This is called s.psy-
chical epilepsy" and is des
cribed as a form of epilepsy
which the victory may be afflict
ed with entirely unknown to
himself or his friends, until
it suddenly manifests itself
through the victim committing
some otherwise inexplicable
atrocius act, such as murder.
Next to the plea of hypnotic
influence, through which it is
claimed the person committing
a murder or other crime may be
but the instrument of someone
who has hypnotized him, that
of "psychical epilepsy" marks
the greatest advance OF modern
times in the art Of defending
murderers.

A DOGS NOBLE DEED.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Among the many heroic
deeds performed at the wreck
of the City of Chester, there is
one which should not go unre-
corded. Capt. Wallace had
on board the Chester a large,
finely built Irish setter dog
named Jerry. Amid the gen.
eral confusion which reigned
aboard the doomed vessel
Jerry didn't get much atten
ton. He ran up and down
the deck among the frightened
people looking for his friends,
and being unable to find them,
remained on board, and, ac-
cording to the testimony of
First Mate McCallum, was the
last living being on the deck.
He was drawn under by the
suction when the vessel sank,
but came again and began
swimming about among the
people in the water. He came
to a woman fiaoting about
helpless and almost gone, and
the noble animal caught her
dress in his teeth and began
swimming for the lifeboats.
He was seen by several per
sons from the deck of the
Oceanic as we'll as by the
first mate, who was in
the water himself, and
when McCallum, the mate,
was picked up, he directed the
boat to the dog, and both wo
man and animal were taken
into the boat and saved. They
found a friend in McCallum
and remained with him, and
last night, when the mate went
to the morgue to announce
that he was not dead. Jerry was
following at his heels as if he
knew what a brave part he had
played, and wanted to be seen
in the company of the man
who launched the first life
boat.

ARMY REORGANL
ZATION.

Washington, d, C., Jan. IS.
The House committee on
military affairs has begun a
series of meetings on a bill to
reorganize the line of the army.
The committee, it is said, will
vote to increase the artillery
regiments, making the number
seven instead of five, and to
retain the present number of
infantry and cavalry regi
ments. No increase will, it is
thought, be made in the engin
eer corps. The increase in
the artillery regiment has been
recognized as necessary for
years, and in view OF the large
expenditures for coast defenses
and the new garrisons which
will be required to man them.
the present force will be found
entirely inadequate to the de
m.lnds of the service. The
three-battalion system, which
the army has asked for several
years, is provided for by the
bill, and an effort was made to
increase the enlisted force to
10000.
AS Senator Hawley has al
ready favorably reported in the
Senate a bill similar in terms
to that of the House commit
tee, the army men are conf
dent the long-expected adop
ton of a reorganization plan
will be consummated before
the session closes. The pas
sage of such a measure will
mean quick promotion to ar
tillery officers, and necessitate
a transfer of several from the
other departments of the ser
vice to man the proposed add
tional regiments. Promotion
in this corps has been proven
slow for years. There.
are lieutenats who are nearing
the retiring age, and will retire
before they reach the rank of
captain. Two or three have
sons in the army, who will
soon rank them at the present
slow stage of advancement.
