TALKING TO ONESELF.
solilcuuies Are Rare Because W.
Fear They Mean Madness.

sOlilcuuies Are Rare Because We
Fear They Mean Madness.
Talking to oneself has this obvious
advantage over any other form of ora
tory or gossip: One is assured Of a
sympathetic audience. But 1t has also
this peculiar drawback: 1t is supposed
to be one Of the early symptoms Of in
sanity. Wrongly so perhaps. A mad
doctor might rule the habit out Of his
diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular
belief is firmly rooted, and 1t is for
fear of this belief doubtless that We
talk to ourselves even as we dress our
hair with straws so rarely.
1t may be said that we never do ad-
dress ourselves at any length except in
the delirium Of fever. In moments
of ordinary excitement of course we
utter to the wind some sort of appro-
pirate ejaculation. Delight wrings
from us a cry of "Hurrahw or THANK
heaven.' even though there be none by
to echo us. Similarly in any disgust
we emit one of those sounds whose
rather poor equivalents in print are
Ugh" and "Faugh!' and "Tut9 Much
further than this we do not go. "Why,
what an ass am Ir' cries Hamlet in
one of his soliloquies. Omitting the
first word and Transporting the last
two, the ordinary modern man does
often soliloquize to that extent. But
he could no more soliloquize to Ham
let's extent than he could speak in
decasyllabics.
Nor Is there any reason to suppose
that that class of the community with
which, contemptuous Of his own fluen-
cy, Hamlet compared himself is or
ever was more prone to soliloquize
than any other. In the matter Of solil-
oquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an
unbiased authority. We merely find in
him the possible origin Of the belief
that talking to oneself is bad sign

PAST HIS FIRST YOUTH.
A Fowl That Was Hardly to Blame
For Proving Tough.

Fowl That Was Hardly to blame
For Proving Tough.
The swan is said to be excellent eat
ing when young. but as it is one Of the
longest lived of all creatures it is well
to learn If possible how old your bird
is before you cook 1t.
A gentleman in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, sent dead swan to the Athena
UNI club, addressed to the secretary. A
special dinner was to occur that week,
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
At the dinner the swan, resting on a
great silver dish, was delight to the
eye, but when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed sharp
enough to cut it, and of course eating
1t was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
secretary and said, 81 hope you got my
swan all right"
"That was nice joke you played on
u.s." returned the secretary.
"Joke? What do you meanr
"Why, we had the thing boiled for
thirteen hours, and even then we
might as well have tried to cut through
the rock of Gibraltar"
"You don't mean to say you had the
swan cookedw
"Why, of course"
"Man alive! sent it to be stuffed
and preserved as a curiosity in the
club. That swan has been in my fami-
ly for 2S0 years. 1t was one of the
Identical birds fed by the children of
Charles 1. You've seen the picture of
It. My ancestor held the post Of mas
ter of the swans and keeper of the
kings cygnets.' Well, have no doubt
1t was bit tough"

HIS Appeal.

Little George was taken by his aunt
to see the newcomer, aged one day.
He was duly and profoundly impress
ed with the specimen and asked where
the little brother came from. "God sent
It," answered the aunt reverently.
The answer made a deep impression
on little George, for that afternoon he
was seen out in the backyard gazing
up into the deep blue sky and spread
ing his dlminutive apron expectantly
as he said, "Dear God, please throw
me one down too."-Troy Times.

The Original silhouette.

The name silhouette was derived
from Etienne de Silhouette, French
minister of finance in 1859, who intro
duced several parsimonious fashions
during his administration called a Ia
Silhouette, a name which continued to
be applied to the black profile portraits.
Silhouettes were executed in various
ways.
One of the simplest is that Of tracing
the outlines of a shadows profile
thrown on a sheet Of paper and then
reducing them to the required size eli
ther by the eye or by means Of pan
tograph. The camera obscura and cam
era lucida are also occasionally used
for the purpose.

NOT OPPOSED TO fRIARS
Father Santiago Paya Talks of
the situation in the
Philippines.

ROME. July 17.-Father Santiago Paya.
provincial Of the Dominicans in the Philip
pines. who is staying here, when informed
by the correspondent OF the Associated
Press Of the result of Governor Taft's
negotiations with the vatican on the sub
ject Of the friars and their lands. ex-
pressed satisfaction at the acceptance of
the hrst proposal OF Cardinal Rampolla,
the papal secretary Of state. that the mat
ter be discussed at Manila between an
apostolic delegate n the governor in
Manila.
When asked what was likely to be the
outcome, Father Paya replied:
II is more important to know what will
be the outcome of the matters between
the Americans and F~ilipinos. Although
the war Is almost over and the Fillpinos
now protest friendship for the Americans,
they In reality dislike them just as they
disliked the Spaniards. The Filipinos say
they did not struggle against Spain, but
refused to calmly surrender their indie
pendence.
Father Pays concluded with declaring
that It was not true that the people were
against the friars. The latter, he further
asserted, were hated only by the native
clergy and a fraction Of the people.

TO DEAL WITH THE TRUSTS
Imperial Government of Russia Pro-
poses an International Con-
ference on Question.

LONDON, July 17,-Details of an i'm
portant move by Russia, which. have evil
IDENTIFY been suppressed hitherto by the
censor, have transpired in London. This
move is no less than a proposal by the
imperial government for an internationa
conference to deal with trusts.
Baron AdR iStaal Russian ambassador In
London, about ten days ago presented to
the British. government a note from M.
de W!itte, the, Russian Minister of finance,
which note also was sent to all the powers
that signed the. Brussels sugar conven-
ton, proposing that these powers should
consider, in common, means to protect
international commerce against the artin-
cial depression Of prices, not only by
government measures, such as export
bounties or the control Of production, but
also by the much more dangerous processes
adopted by trusts, private undertakings or
c%artels, which tend artihcially to influence
the international market. This explains
the mysterious reference made in the
Financial Messenger Of st. Petersburg early
this week to n recent note OF M. de Witte,
which the paper said '1s an application, in
the economic domain, of the principles OF
