was disappointed. 1t trusts, however,
that in the near future the call will

CHRISTMAS PSYCHOLOGY

There is no doubt that Christmas
has great deal to do with increasing
the happiness Of life. For little
time at least, most of the world pre-
tends to adopt the teachings of Christ,
and although it is only pretense, it
makes life for a day happier and
brighter. All the year following, the
remembrance of Christmas brings to
the mind pleasant memories. The lit
tie shams and pretences, as much as
anything else, bring about a happy
state of mind. The whole thing is an
effect produced upon mind, brought
about in various ways, and 1T is all
psychological. Happiness and unhappi-
ness are things wholly of the mind.
One man afflicted with poverty, poor
ly sheltered, poorly clothed and poor
ly fed is happy and goes singing
through the world while another with
all that wealth can buy may never see
a happy day. 1t is not material things
that produce happiness: it is condi-
ton of the mind.
The dread grind of the years as
they pass by is broken by the Christ
mas time. Then for short time all
join in trying to bring pleasure to
others and thereby bring the greatest
pleasure to themselves. If the eff
fort would only last through the year,
what different world this would be-.
In some hundreds of thousands of
homes this year, the homes where
wages have been cut down or where
all the wages have disappeared by the
discharge of over 100000 workmen,
it will take great effort to be hap
Ply, but for one day let the effort be
made and whatever hardships the
coming year may bring, it there be
one bright day around which joy
Gus remembrance will cling. Let it
be day of smiles and loving kind
ness.

where one devil was driven out ten
more returned, each Of which was
worse than the first.
The first result of the overthrow of
the Easy Boss will be that Governor
OGell will take the place Of Depew
in the United States senate and short
ly after Plat will follow Depew into
retirement. There may be somewhat
Of a struggle, but that will be the end
of it. The moment the followers OF
Plat find that he has lost his power
they will turn and rend him, just as
a pack of ravenous wolves tear in
pieces and consume wounded COM
panion. There was never anything
more inhuman than machine politics.
The thing that ought to engage
right-thinking men is study OF such
Phenomena. How is it possible that
hundreds of thousands of honest, hard
working men-Christian men-in-
spired for the most part by pure
ideals, will year after year follow such
a leader and cast their votes with the
regularity of a perfect machine for a
generation or more just as such boss
dictates? How is it that these hum
dreds of thousands will believe every
word such a boss says and believe it
all the more firmly the more the proof
Of its falsity is presented to them?
No doubt the study of such actions
by Mayor Jones resulted in his con-
viction that good government could
never be obtained as long as the party
system existed.
WHY is 1t that when a political party
Is once established and a boss gets
control, that a man who has once

party proceeds to deity 1t. to act as II

tached, they would declare that the

ton is what produces such state Of
mind as that and what is the rem
edy, or is there any remedy? There
is field for original research"
which could employ the best talent
OF the most eminent sociologists and
psychologists of the world.
There does not seem to be any re-
lief in sight anywhere from this state
Of mind which The Independent has
called partisan insanity" Plat and
Depew in their old age will be aban-
doned for younger bosses and the
hundreds of thousands of voters in
New York will go on voting as the
new bosses tell them. The old divi-
sions of spoils will be maintained.
The republicans will take the state
government and the cities outside of
New York and the democrats will
have New York. The upstate farmer
will swear by his new boss and city
democrat will swear by his new Tam
many leader just as they have in the
past, and that will continue until some
method of curing partisan insanity is
discovered.

A Cure For StammerinG.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives
q very simple remedy for the misfor-
tune: Go into room where you will be
quiet and alone, get some book that
will interest but not excite you and sit
down and read two hours aloud to
yourself, keeping your teeth together.
Do this every two or three days or once
q week if very tiresome, always taking
care to read slowly and distinctly.
moving the lips, but not the teeth.
Then when conversing with others try
to speak as slowly and distinctly az
possible and make up your mind that
you will not stammer.
Well. tried this remedy, not having
much faith in 1t, must confess, but
willing to do almost anything to cure
myself of such an annoying difficulty.
read for two hours aloud with my
teeth together The first result was to
make my tongue and jaws ache-that
is, while was reading-and the next
to make me feel as If something had
loosened my talking apparatus, for
could speak with less difficulty imme-
diately. The change was SO great that
every one who knew me remarked 1t. l
this remedy every five or six
days for a month and then at longer
intervals until cured.

born In 1857 amid the mutterlngs OF the
revolution. Guizot's parents were mar.

Protestants and became marked man.

Massachusetts Man Dies of Chambers.

James A. Hills, respected resident
of Warwick, Mass, died at his home,
last week Monday, of CHAMBERS, con-
tracted while taking care of horse
suffering from the disease. The horse
had contracted the disease at water
ing trough, and as soon as it was fully
developed the veterinary advised that
it should be shot. But its owner, who
was much attached to it, tried to nurse
it back to health, and one day while he
was clearing it's nose the horse blew
some of the morbid mucus into Mr..
Hills's eyes Soreness and ulcers fol-
lowed, the right arm became affected,
and the disease spread to all parts Of
the body. appearing something like
case of smallpox. Death ensued in
two weeks after the first attack.
Chambers is an incurable disease, in
horse or man, and the only safe course
to pursue is to destroy the infected
animal at once.
