THE DECLINE OF
INDIVIDUALITY.

modern times Is
the loss of individuality and personal
characteristics.
We do not find in our national life, at
the present day, the striking, strong in
dividuality of early history. The hew.
ing, polishing processes of modern civil
ization seem to grind away all of the
sharp corners of Individuality, and ev-
erything tends to assume a conventional
form. People seem to be run in the
same mold.
A strong, striking character is rare
thing in these days. The individual is
lost in the mass. Cities grind away and
erase independence. Unfortunately,
there is many man who seems to be
content to be one of the crowd, and not
leader Of the crowd.
With some notable exceptions, news
papers lack individuality. Their opin-
ions are impersonal, and the editors are
lost. Few people know who writes the
editorials or the leading articles. The
udy VI Lu1tb CthA NI1CC1CJ DOWlcS
seem to have gone forever. Nobody in
particular is responsible for any opinion
or policy. Everything is referred to the
stockholders. Not only do the editors
lose their Individuality but so also does
everyone who is connected with each
paper.
Concentration in large centers is
largely responsible for this. The dis
semination of knowledge through news
papers, and the multiplication of books,
magazines, and libraries, has added very
materially to this unfortunate loss. The
strength of a nation lies in the stalwart
individuality of it's citizens. When this
is lost, civilization becomes insipid and
powerless.-Orison SWEET Marden, in
October "Success."

BEST SPRING MEDICINE
The Palm Given TO Or. Greene's
herVura.
That Grand Jury the People, Have So
Decided.
Used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed "The worlds Great
Spring Medicine. 1t has come to be
recognized by almost everybody as the
best possible spring medicine to take,
and hundreds of thousands Of our
people use it during the trying spring
months, to tone up anew the relaxed
nerves and re-invigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is necessity If
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter to summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, Is exactly what the system
needs at this season. 1t not only
purifies, but makes rich, red blood; 1t
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. 1t is not only an aid to diges-
ton, but 1t creates a regular, natural
and healthy action of the bowels, liver,
kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fact, it is just what people need
to make them well and keep them well
during these months. so threatening
to the health Of all, and when 1t is con-
sidered that DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
ti-ely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies. and that people give
it more testimonials Of cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.

The coro--tion chair, which was the
throne f the early sovereigns OF Eng
land is now in Westminster Abbey,
where it is seen daily by thousands or
tourists. 1t is a rude piece of furnl-
tie of primitive workmanship and is
older than the kingdom itself. The
seat is stone, which, tradition says,
is the same uron which Jacob, the
founder of Israel, rested his head the
night he had the vision of the angel
and the ladder. The stone is said to
have been kept in the ark of the COW
enant of the Israelites, and at the
time of the dissolution of the tribec
was carried 20 Ireland, and thence to
England, where it was held in rever'
ence by the Druids. The early kings OF
England sat upon it when they were

Bill For the Suppression of Malaria.


AS result Of the various studies
dealing with the origin and cure OF
malaria in Italy it is now proposed to
introduce a bill in the Italian Parlia-
ment providing for the suppression OF
the disease. The measures under con-
sideration make it compulsory for
landowners and employers of labor
to provide such means of resisting and
preventing the fever as are specified
by the authorities. 1t is also proposed
that the Government should purchase
pure quinine which would be rigidly
inspected, and then sold to the people
at a slight advance over it's cost. The
money obtained by way of profit could
then be used in further Investigations
and in the prevention Of the disease.

Don't he Drowned in Your Calling.

A European traveller tells OF the fol-
lowing epitaph which he read on a
tombstone in England: Here lies =;
he was born a man but died grocer
The man has disappeared in his calling.
We often find that mans vocation has
swallowed him; that it has completely
overwhelmed him, that there is nothing
left Of him for any purpose outside his
occupation
1t is contemplate estimate q a
vocation to regard it as the means OF
getting a living. The man who is not
greater than his calling who does not
overtop his vocation, so that it runs
over on all sides, is not successful. A
man should be greater than the books
he writes, greater than any speech he
makes, than any house he builds, or any
sermon he breaches.

Social Life at Yale.

at may seem, because Of it's intense
Capitalization, that Yale Is particularly
open to the charge of intr0version, on
the grounds that the students become
entirely absorbed in the affairs of their
circumscrbed world. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the college
is situated i'm the heart of busy town,
the homo OF a select New England So
ciety. During their sojourn in New
Haven the. e5iiesians are more OF less
closely associated with the town life.
Pie best houses arc open to them.
They figure prominently at social gath
erings, and not infrequently form ten
der attachments, which, sadly enough,
seldom reach maturity, but are left to
be perpetuated by following classes.
Social functions of the university, such
as the Junior Promenade, also afford
numerous opportunities for contact
with society at large. But the collie
gians association with town life ap-
prOaches the superlative degree when
spoken of in connection with HELPS,
Traeger's, Mory's and Jaques'. This
is the other side Of TIC picture; the
side which now and again provOkes
small rempests of invective against the
university. Mory's, among all other
places, is famed for its Welsh rarebit
and golden buck; but these delicacies
are not served in the velvet cup nor
the tobies which pass around. No.
fond parents, tho.e vessels are charged
with bona fde intoxicants destined
for the inner persons Of the objects OF
your patient care! The jolly fellows
drink and seem to enjoy it. They sing
and their songs grow suspiciously loud
err Traegers 'Wein Stube' is no less
engaged in the evolution of this sort
of Joy. Heib's, also, and several 9TH
er cafes almost within stones throw
of the campus, are doing thriving
business, mention of which must be
included in a true picture of the col
lege life. frederick Tilney, in AIMS

The NrIrin of Base bal.

The origin OF baseball-"our national
game'-is not definitely known, but the
first club organized to play it was IN
New York in I845. Singularly enough,
this club, like the one first organized to
promote rowing, was called the
Knickerbocker Club" After 1851 other
amateur baseball clubs began to organ
ize including the Atlantic, Mutual:
Union, etc. In 1857 a convention OF
delegates from sixteen clubs in and
around New York and Brooklyn was
held About ten years later, at the an
nual CONVEX. ION OF the National Asso-
citation in 1866, two hundred and two
clubs from seventeen States and the
District OF Columbia were represented.
The college baseball associations were
started about 1862 or 1868. Amateur
baseball throughout the Union was at
its height in the years 1865, GO, and 81;
Professional baseball was recognized
in 1868, and the first games were played
in 1900

by pure chance l managed TO get

sO-called professor of hypnotism, who
advertises to teach the art in series
of ten easy lessons by mail, and was
devoted chiefly to an exposition of its
advantages as a practical accomplish
ment for enterprising young men. AT
ter telling how most Of the obstacles
Of life could be overcome by little
hypnotsm, thrown in here and there,
the booklet proceeded to enlarge on the
dangers Of an improper use Of the
subtle power, and solemnly warned all
readers against exercising it for IN
worthy purposes. In that chapter, "
continued the lawyer producing the
pamphlet from his pocket, Il found al
anecdote that struck me as being de.
cidedly interesting. Here it is, and
with your permission. I'll read it:
eve learned recently that one OF
our male students, Mr.. r, CT Chi
cago. has married a wealthy heiress
against the wishes of ill her friends
and relatives. The lady is worth, in
her own right, about S250,000. and had
previously refused Mr.. F--s adj
vances, declaring that she did not love
him and would have nothing to do
with him. Greatly to the surprise OF
everybody they suddenly eloped and
were married r has admitted
that she was hypnotized at the time
and has been more or less under the
influence ever since. He hypnotized
her by our new method Of operating
nj distance, without the knowledge of
the subject, as taught in our ten.
lesson mail course; and, while the lady
insists that she is satisfied and happy.
we wish to condemn in the strongest
possible terms the employment of the
hypnotic power for any and all such
purposes. We mention this case to
show how dangerous the power may
be in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS people,
and for this reason we require prom
Use from all pupils that they will not
employ it to obtain an improper or
unjust advantage over others. Our re-
sponsibility would otherwise be too
great r4'< sss'%
THE anecdote about the wicked Mr.
F., of Chicago, made me laugh
real loud" continued the lawyer, land
l was also greatly entertained by the
solicitude Of the hypnotist who exacts
promise from all pupils not to elope
with any heiress after he shows them
how easily it can be done. l have seen
several varieties of the same game
shown up in the papers" he added,
"but nothing, think, that quite equals
this $250,O00 heiress story. l can im-
