The villa, Elusive Hat.

Just watch the man pursue his hat
In wild despair;
Now right. now left. he wildly springs,
His legs and arms he twists and filings,
AS blithely In its swift career
1t whirls and twirls in spirals queer.
Till scarce he knows where he Is at,
Or on the pavement sprawling fiat.
He wants to swear.
Now watch the people all go right
For that same tile!
They grab. they jab. like all possessed.
And each one tries to beat the rest
To stop that wild. elusive thing.
That gyrates like bird on wing:
Till finally 1t ends its flight
At some ones feet, who grabs 1t tight.
With lordly smile.
Why don't the man with noddle bare
Just stand his ground?
All things will come to him who waits.
Which most to Grant hats relates.
Besides. it's just all kinds of fun
To watch the people boot and run.
And some kind soul Is always there
To bring 1t back. brushed up with care,
All safe and sound. .

The grief within her bosom like a seething
cauldron boiled.

New Cure for Alcoholism.

Now that the Keeley gold cure is on the way to join the Kee1ey motor. there is room for the new Russian remedy for alcoholism which Michael George witch A1ayerdoff is introducing into England. His remedy is a secret herb found in certain parts of Russia. A deeper mystery enshrouds his recipe from the fact that it calls for 36 per cent of spirits of wine and 64 per cent. Of distilled water, in addition to the herb! The first thing that tho patient must do is to get thoroughly drunk over night. Scotch whisky is recom- mended for this. When he wakes in the morning with dark-brown taste in his mouth he is given a small glass containing the panaeea, which is not noticed After three days the patient can go his way, and will not wish to drink again, and even if he does-so says M. Alayerdoff, 1t will immediately make him "Womit"

Thunder and Lightning.

It is said that lightning may be rec ognized at a distance of 200 miles when the clouds among which it plays are at a high altitude, but thunder can sell dom be heard at a greater distance than ten miles. The sound of thun- der is also subject to refraction by layers of different density in the atmos- phere, as we'll as to the effects of " sound shadows" produced by hills and other interposed objects. These are among the reasons for the existence of the so-called sheet" or Summer" lightning, which seems to be unattend- ed by thunder.

THE TRACING OF SUICIDE.
Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has an
 Injurious Effect.

Denefe0 AhAN Lhsu1IaDiS Otet 1as h1
 Injurious Effect.
 Dr. Haig is of the opinion that sui- eide may be traced to error in diet, the error being the eating of meat, the drinking of beer and of tea and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in sup port of his hypothesis. Are there not more suicides among men than among women, and do not men consume more meat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than in Scotland, not apparently because the Scotch are a more canny race, but be- cause the English eat more meat and drink more beer, while the Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky instead of beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, 1t was perhaps hardly polite, when ad- dressing a Scotch audience, to 30 on to say that suicide increased with eiYiliza- tion. But the fact was explained on the ground of more injurious diet, that Of civilized man being more productive of uric acid and thus of suicide than that which prevails where civilization is less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, accord ing to Dr. Haig, the incidence of sui- eide ta1lies with the daily. annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant, namely. in the morn ings. in spring and summer and in childhood and the full prime of life.
 We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsible for much, and, among other things, for a certain number of suicides; nay, we would go further and admit that unsuitable diet, derange- ment of the proper relation between nutrition and waste and the conse- quent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of me tabolism have much to do with that i1l-temper and discontent which lead men to lay their hands violently upon their neighbors and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peccant material is in all cases the same, and still further are we from being agreed that uric acid is the origin of the evil.

Torrered Superstition.

Students of architecture have often wondered why the two towers of Notre Dame are not of equal size. though they appear so to the casual observer. A writer in one of the recent English magazines has found the explanation, which is rather curious. It appears that when the cathedral was built the cathedral of suffragan bishop was not entitled to two towers of equal size, and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.

Not long ago a soldier who had serv-
ed In the late war died in camp, and
IL was found that he was worth at the
time of his death $1,000. Having no
immediate relatives, the man had be-
queathed his money to the United
States government that he had served.
No sooner was this case made known
than several other cases Of the same
kind came to light, in which veterans
insisted that their property should go
TO Uncle Sam. In commenting on this
a government official remarks that,
taken into consideration with the con-
science fund at Washington, IL is
doubtful II any other country can
show such examples, both OF honest
patriotism and honest penitence rising
into affection for a government.

Ia the Review Of Reviews for July Mr..
George Wharton James relate "A Pilgri-
mage to Some Scenes of Spanish Occu-
pancy in our Southwest" Mr.. James
describes many of the scenic wonders of
Arizona and New Mexico, heretofore so
little visited by the American tourist,
and presents remarkable series of pho
tographs of the natives of the country.
Although no definite propositions have
been or are likely to be adopted, the con
ference is not failure. In the first
place. it has brought together the repre-
sentatives of the great military powers
of the world for the specific purpose of
lessening the burden of military arlna-
ments. Second, it has brought about, il
not frank, at least friendly official in
terchange OF views upon the subject
with the unanimous purpose of lessen
ing the probabilities as well as the havoc
and horrors of war. This of itself is a
real step in progress.-Gunton's Maya
zine for July.
Says Professor L. III. Bailey of Cornell,
| in an article on "A New England Coun-
try Road" in the Outlook: 1.-The common
notion that the agriculture of New Eng
land is on the decline is myth. Theagri-
cultures only changing Rural New Eng
land is prosperous. The highway from
Springfield to Hartford and Portland
runs through as thrifty country as one
could hope to see, and the only industry
is farming. 1t is not district of sum
mer boarders, nor of suburban residence
The clean, well titled fields, snug barns,
ample and coy houses, all bespeak a
happy and prosperous people. These
homes have been paid for from the land,
and they are replete with comfort No
other country can show such kingly farm
homes in such number, as America
There is flavor about these New England
farmsteads, which suggests thrift, fru-
gality, stability, contentment. Economic
conditions have drawn people together
in the last two generations. Cities have
grown. Conditions are slowly changing
People are desiring to eXtricate them
selves from the city. There is a percepti-
BILE movement countryward The coun-
try is improving and civilizing The re-
adjustment must come"
