WHY SWEAR

| why do men swear?' is question
which Prof Patrick. of the University
OF Iowa, attempted to answer in paper
recently read before scientific society
OF Lincoln, Neb. The question is a rea-
sonable one, and if the cause can be
learned, remedy may be applied, or it
may prove that swearing is necessary
evil and mild substitute for something
worse
Prof. Patrick, quoting from Campbell,
explains that men in anger may be
Obliged to express every over act and
every expression of emotion except facial
movements or some form of vocalization
that profanity is therefore a safety
valve, and if man did not swear he
would do something worse. Prof. Patrick
holds that there is something more than
this in swearing, and that it has an OBJ
Jective as well as a subjective force, and
is intended to call down a curse from
heaven upon the offender.
The psychology of the oath has by no
means been determined. Its forms and
ramifications are many and most of them
are subtle in character. If the oath is
safety valve, why is it not better adapted
to the use OF women, who are said to be
far more emotional than men? And vet
no self-respecting woman ever makes use
Of one.
Why did Socrates frequently swear?
The worthy sage lad perfect command of
his emotions and needed no safety valve;
yet again and again did he swear "By
he dog" leaving an endless number of
'rltlcs to dispute over his purpose and
meaning.
Andrew Jackson's ''By the Eternal''
nay have relieved his pent-up feelings;
'ut it served another purpose equally
veil, and that was to give emphasis to
lis sincerity.
The psychologists will do well to ex.
mine the subject of profanity still furs
her. To label it as relief for the emo.
ions is not at all satisfactory, for the
motions increase by the use of it; and,
to invoking curse, the class of people
ddicted to it have little faith in God or
emon.
1t is probable that the psychologists
fter all their investigations may come
belief in the worthlessness of pro-
unity and agree with the moralist, who
sed no laboratory methods when he
cached the sage conviction:
To swear is neither brave, polite nor
Use.

THE MAD DOG SCARE

There was a mad dog scare in New
York the other day which was direct
result OF the dog-days. They did moi
affect the dog; it was the people of the
metropolis who seemed to be bothered.
The dog was quietly trotting along
Amsterdam Avenue, minding his own
business and allowing other people to
mind theirs, when some boys spied him
and began throwing tin cans and stones
at him. Naturally, he ran. Naturally,
they chased him, and as it was hot day
and the dog did not see the necessity of
this sort of thing, he began to lose his
temper and snapped at one or two people
whom he passed. The door of yaude-
vile theatre was open, and the hunted
animal lodged in and ran down the aisle,
yelping out his predicament in dog Ian
guage; but nobody there had studied that
tongue, and the result of his advent was
panic. Women grabbed their children
and sprang upon the seats, as if the ca
nine intruder had been mouse; the
soubrette on the stage stopped singing
and screamed. When she saw the dog
coming toward her, she made an exit not
provided for in the program, and the
tired beast made for a corner of the hall
which looked quiet, and lay down, pant
ing.
A policeman was on hand by that time,
and he came up, with chair held be-
tween him and the dog, shot the animal,
and removed the deceased. Then the
show went on.
This is fairly good example of the
manufacture of a mad dog scare. Of
course, there is such a thing, now and
then, as case of hydrophobia, but some
cases which are taken for that are moth
ing but common, ordinary madness, in |
the Yankee sense of the word-madness
which is the result of temper and nerves,
not Of organic disease of any kind. 1t
would save time and trouble to recognize
the distinction and impress upon the
public that dog has nerves, just like
anybody else, and if he is teased and
,ormented in hot weather, he is likely
o become nervous, irritable and cross.
N that case, he does not need to be
hased up the street by mob with sticks
md stones nearly as much as he needs to
'e let alone and kindly treated. The
ormer treatment will produce very
ood imitation, entirely unnecessary, of
cal hydrophobia.

MUCH DrmArD FOR CANNED GOODS

The intimation having been given
recently, at the meeting of Gamers held
in Wilmington, that the prices of canned
goods would be higher next winter, many
people are purchasing canned goods now
on the market and storing them away for
the wiKter Naturally this years pack
is preferable, but there is a disposition to
buy up the present stock.
This will have beneficial effect on two
classes of people. 1t will benefit those
who are able to store away for the future
and also the Gamers, as the present de-
mand will pretty nearly exhaust the
supply and create an unusual demand
for the new pack, as those who do not
care to buy in advance or are unable to
do SO will buy the new goods, and it is
expected that the Gamers will have all
they can do to meet the demand, even at
higher prices

OF LARGE SIZE

A dispatch from Philadelphia SAYS
For thirty years Philadelphia has beer
building its city hall. Now PRACTICAL,
complete, it has been turned over bv acl
OF the legislature from the building com
mission, which has been experimenting
Its construction, to the city's chief execu.
tive' and it is the finest municipal build.
ing anywhere in the world.
Twenty-Five million dollars is expected
to be the cost of this remarkable munich
pal structure. Of this sum S24.-
3O6,OoS has already been spent. William
Penn himself marked out the site when
he planned the city in 1851, and nearly
200 years later, in 1870, the state legisIa-
ture created the building commission,
which has now at last put municipal
palace on Penn's site. The actual work
on the building was begun in 1871.
In the tower is the largest clock ever
made, run by compressed air and stand
ing $50 feet above the street. Eighty
million cubic yards of brick, 100000 Gu
bic yards OF dressed marble and double as
much ordinary stone have been used in
building it.
A separate line of water mains nearly
three miles long supplies the building
with water, and more than half million
gaiions g, as used every twenty four hours.
Ihere are twenty elevators in constant
use ior passenger service alone, and for
the buildings court room and Offices half
million dollars has been expended for
furniture and fixtures alone.
Many royal palaces exceed this muni-
clpal palace OF the new world in ground
area, but with the single exception of the
mouse OF parliment at Westminster,
London, Z Is It is the largest public building
