The Psych of Pity.

A recent study of the emotion of
pity has been made by Professor G.
Stanley Hall and f. Fl. Saunders by
ted among a number of school chill
dren and adults. 1t was found that
hunger in some form seemed to be
that which excited the deepest pity
in most of those questioned, and in
the case of the poorer children this
proved to be almost invariably the
case. "The children of the poor who
know what hunger is in their own
experience have tar quicker and more
effective sympathies in the direction
of pity for the starving than children
who have never felt the pangs of
appetite themselves. Most people in
civilized life know almost nothing of
the very poignant suffering due to
lack of food, and adults have little
which children feel from hunger
With the young it Is very definite
sharp and localized distress that may
rise to the intensity of agony and en-
guish. At its strongest IL may call
out all the forces of the struggle for
survival and prompt the best chill
dren or adults to theft. petty of great.
to forcefuI robbery and to mutual
slaughter and cannlbalism. When we
reflect that the great MAJORITY of
animals find their grave In the nav
OF other animals. and that the strug

food. we can understand that II

shoulders, the upper one being cut in

The Furnishing of a House.

You must have certain things as a
basis-things that you cannot do with
out; they must be purchased at once
and set in place; but they are the nee
essities which are found in every
house, and which are absolutely in
dispensable. That is the bread-and-
butter part and you may eat it as
quickly as you please, but the part that
can be done by degrees is the orna-
menting of the rooms-the addition Of
a picture, bit of bronze or marble, a
few coveted books or an article of fur
niture which does not come directly
under the head of merely useful"
There is an excitement in the very
necessity Of making a choice when
there is only a stipulated sum Of
money to invest, and there are SO
many ways in which you want to
spend it-Sallie Joy White, in the

The Extinction OF Liberty's Torch

The story told on the first page of the Sun
day Magazine to-day of the condition of the
great statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World is not credtable to the public spirit OF
OF Congress or TO the political influence of the
gentlemen who in Congress represent the inter
ests of Greater New York. For lack CT a few
dollars in the appropriation bill the torch sheds
the feeble light of one-twentieth OF street
lamp, on a corrodng statue whose neglected
condition is painfully apparent to the millions
of passers-by for whom it intended to be
pleasure and delight.
And this is the statue of which President
Cleveland i'll his dedication address said, "WIll-
ing votares will constantly keep alive its
fres,' and of which Chauncey Depew said !,
"The rays from this beacon will light this
gateway to the continent"
Is there anything significant or symbolic in

tlngnishment of her orch?-New York World.

10 MCDILL'S MUSINGS.
The Facts.

The Globe Democrat, says that, "Uncle
Sam has been in business over one hundred
years, and has never yet been helped by an
independent party, or by egotstical cranks."
The Globe is either ignorant or falsifes.
Every school boy knows that the abolition
party was independent party, and that
James G. Brney, Wendell Phillips, Lloyd
Garrison and host of others were 'egotistical
cranks, and that the Republican party was built
up on the foundation laid by those able, and
liberty loving Americans, and that the prin-
cples they advocated were fought for on
hundreds of battle fields by the best soldiers
the world has ever produced. History shows
that the so-called 'egotistical cranks' are the
forerunners of all the great reformes that have
upiifted the human race On with the indie
pendent parties, and up with the 'egoistcal
cranks. because the independent party has
principles and the "egotistcal crank" has
ideals. The unreasoning multitude has neither
principles or ideals. | believe in the good
Book, which says: "Thou shalt not follow
the multitude to do evil"

j. R. Burton.

Some of the men who aided Burton to attain
his ambition are his heaviest creditors. 1t is
hardly conceivable that they were actuated
either by pure undehlet. friendship or lofty
patriotism. The assumption is that they saw
in the achievement of his ambition the only
chance of repayment and that it was sort OF
business speculation. In a way, therefore,
Senator Burton may be looked upon as the
capital stock of syndicate formed to realize
on some apparently worthless debts. In this
connection the question naturally arises:
"How will Senator Burton discharge these
obliga;ions?' His salary would not suffice,
for a man of the Burton stamp can eaisy live
up to that. The payment must therefore
come from some hidden stream OF advantage
attached to the office of senator; through OPP
portunties to acquire money that open to
senators, because of tneir official position and
the hand they have III the making of hose
laws of the land which have been so eff ,irut..
in times past in widening the gull between tt
rich and the poor.
