the most elaborate programme has been
arranged. Nine. De We're, Miss Broad

Concerning Appendicitis.

DR.. H. r. Lemen of Alton, Ills, saws
81 often meet people who have such a
wholesome fear of appendicitis that they
do not eat grapes, tomatoes. figs or
fruits containing little seeds because of
a fear that these seeds will lodge in the
appendix and cause appendicitis.
Whenever l hear person say he
denies himself fruits because of this
fear take occasion to assure him that
1T is useless to take any such precau-
tions. If you like fruit. eat it. for APP
pendicitis, seven in ten instances. is
due to other things than seeds Little
particles of food of any kind can lodge
In the appendix and produce appendi-
citis even bread crumb being capable
of it In addition. great many cases
are caused by something entirely out
side the appendix. something causing
the inflammation
ITO all l would say, Go ahead and
eat anything you like, for all precau-
tions you may take are not going to
save you from appendicitis if you are
going to have it. The inexplicable
things to which the majority of cases
are attributable cannot be guarded
against; and it is useless to fight the
minority -

MARRIAGE AND CRIMINAlITY.
Single Men Commit More Crimes Than
the Benedicts.

From the Medical Journal
F. Prinzing has contributed a statistical
study of this subject. According to this
study, property rights are more generally
respected by the married than the single.
The married man does not commit the
grayer offenses against property, such as
robbery and fraud, so much as the less
dangerous crimes, such as receiving stolen
goods, breaking the laws of trade and
public health. and bankruptcy. Men who
are married at an early age Grom
eighteen 10 twenty-five) offend against
property more often than the unmarried
of the same age and than married men
who are older. This is probably explained
by the pressure Of family expenses. Of
fenses against morality, except, OF course
bigamy and for some reason, incest, are
far more common among unmarried men
"a fact that was to be expected. Ofenses
against human life are more frequent
among the unmarried. though the dispro-
protion is not so great as in the matter
of the rights of property.
1t is interesting To note that the crimi-
nality of widowers decreases with advanc-
ing years, although this Is probably true
of all men. Widowers, however, con-
tribute greater share of crime between
the ages of thirty and fifty than either OF
the other classes. This may be an argu-
meat either for or against marriage. dc-
cording to the point of view. Widower5
are especially prone to murder, incest,
false accusation and false witness. They
stand first in all classes Of crime, and
their offenses against property are note
worthy In eXtenuation OF WidoWers IL
NAV be claimed that the loss of the wife
leads to Generalization both in mind and
in domestic affairs. and removes an in
fiuence that is evidently salutary in the
ma iority of men. According to these sta
tistics the longer a man is married the
more law-abiding he becomes This may
be accounted for not only by the benign
influence OF matrimony, but also by the
fact that the burden of married life, Incl
dent to the larger birth-rate at that time
and the financial straits of the parents, Is
greater In the early years than it is later.
| This is indicated by the fact that the rate
of offenses against property falls off rap
idly with advancing years among the mar
ripd

DEFINITION OF A GENTLEMAN.
The Pew Qualifications Most Useful in
social Life To-day.

From scribuers.
The term gentleman always repre-
sents the total sum of a few qualifications
which experience has proved 10 be most
useful in the actual state of social life,
and to-day it represents qualifications
that. upon the whole, are not natural
artistic qualifications. There are those
who will refuse to admit that the con-
ception of what a gentleman is varies
with different epochS and conditions.
They will assert that the gentleman OF a
thousaud wears ago. of a hundred years
ago. is a gentleman to-day and Will be
one Tomorrow As 10 large matters of
ethics and conduct, yes; as TO minor mat
ters of behavior, no. We decide that
man is a gentleman by the manner in
which he wears" in daily existence; in
it's hap-hazard and promiscuous compan-
ionships and situations. And social life
at present is an International affair. Its
interests are not confined to the limited
stages where they would formerly
tended surfaces. The gentleman of to-
day therefore, is the individual who best
adapts himself to prevailing circum-
stances by not stopping the general flow
of things with an intrusion, when ne, not
strictly necessary, OF his own personality.
He is the individual who puts no over
sensitive valuation on his personal stand
ARDS. interfereS little with others, has the
silent courage OF his own conduct, Dut no
itch to explain it, or himself, or to i'm.
pose either on a preoccupied world that
has no time to attend and less patience.
This, III any case, may pass as a dei1nl-
ton of the social side of what the Anglo
Saxon calls a gentleman; and as the
Anglo-SaxOn race has spread over the
face of the globe more extensively than
any other aud been brought In contact
with the greatest number of peoples under
the greatest diversity of circumstances,
it may be fairly considered no bad judge
of the way to get through that compli-
Gated thing, modern life, with the least
irritab;lity on all sides and the smallest
friction We of the English tongue, in
short, believe at present that man most
acceptable to his fellows, all round, who
least obtrudes in personal intercourse,
