The Secret OF Popularity.

Some people think that personal
popularity is the result of natural
gift. Emily Holt brings out a book
through McClure-Philips under the
title of "The Secret of Popularity"
in which she takes quite the opposite
point of view. In her preface she
declares that unpopularity is the re-
suit of a disregard of certain obvious
rules of behavior and an overlooking
of opportunities for kindliness, etc.
The book aims to put the reader on
the right track in these regards. 1t
is a rational and Straightforward
treatment of a subject of universal
interest

Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 1893, or it may be in
1903, Kilkenny was garrisoned by a
troop of Hessian soldiers who anus
ed themselves in barracks by tying
two cats together by their tails and
throwing them across a clothesline to
fight. The officer, hearing of the cruel
practice, resolved to stop it. AS he
entered the room one Of the troopers,
seizing a sword cut the tails in two
as the animals hung across the line.
The two cats escaped, minus their tails
through the open window, and when
the officer inquired the meaning of the
two bleeding tails being left In the
room he was coolly told that two cats
had been fighting and had devoured
each other, all but the tails.

vote. AS 1ar as surface indications
were concerned, there was no more
opposition to the platform than there
had been to that accepted unanimous
~ by the Republican convention in
Chicago a few weeks ago.
The nominations were immediately
proceeded with.
Alabama yielded to New York and
Judge Parker's name was The first
presented to the convention. After that
Hearst, Gray, Cockrell, Wall. Will
Hams, Olney and Miles were named in
speeches which took nearly the entire
night. In the end all the claims of
the Parker forces were proved accu-
rate. Parker had within few votes
OF enough to nominate, and these
were forthcoming. The speeches
which had been cheered so long and
loudly had neither made nor lost a
vote. The Parker forces, under per-
feet organization, remained serene.
After the nomination had been made
the convention adjourned to 2 D. M,
when a candidate for vice president
Is to be chosen. At the close of
the convention many figures promi,
rent in the contest were surrounded
by friends and heartily congratulated.
Notable among these were David B.
Hill, of New York, who has been in
actual charge of Parker's campaign.
He laughed and cried alternately. In
section of the hall sat Mrs. Hill,
daughter of Judge Parker. With a
party of friends she remained through
out the night. She showed her hap
piness with tears.
Jupnanr over Result.
William F. Sheehan, who has done
the personal work of Judge Parker
and August Belmont, was jubilant over
the result. One of the most interest
ing phases Of the convention was the
fact that although early evening was
succeeded by darkness, darkness by
dawn and dawn by broad daylight at
last tWo-thirds of all spectators. 80
per cent of them women, remained
until the nomination was made. Mr..
Bryan left the convention hall a few
minutes before the nomination was
made unanimous, but not before he
knew that Judge Parker was nominal
ed. To several correspondents wait
ing for him at his hotel, he said that
he had nothing to add to what he had |
said in the convention, which was that |
he would support any candidate nom
mated on the platform he had assist |
ed in making.
Il have not slept for hours" he
said. Goodnight"
1t may be added that those of a SUI
perstitious turn of mind may be en-
by the fact that Judge Park
er was not nominated on Friday.

The Balloon Plant.

One of the curious devices of nature
for scattering seeds is seen in the bal
loon plant of California. The fruit
is yellow and is a little larger than an
egg. 1t has the appearance of an emp
ty bag, but it contains watery sub
stance, which evaporates or dries up
when the fruit natures, a sort of gas
taking its place. This gas is lighter
than air, and the fruit fips back and
forth in the wind until it finally breaks
loose from its slender stem, rises into
the air to a height of from seventy-fve
to hundred feet, and sails away to
fall in some distant spot and thus ex-
tend the growth of it's kind.

de Foe, the author Of Robinson Cru
soe," travelled through the great east
ern marshes of England in 1922. He
records that in that damp part of the
world it was common to meet with
man who had had from five to fifteen
wives. Indeed he says that some had
more. De Foe adds that a merry fellow,
who had himself had about a score of
wives, told him that the men of the
marshes, being seasoned to the damp
climate, took little harm from 1t, but
that they went into the "hilly country I
for their wives. "When they took the
young lasses out of the wholesome
and fresh air, they were healthy, fresh
and clear and well. But when they
came out of their native air into the
marshes among the fogs and damp, J
there they presently changed their
compleXions, got an ague or two and
seldom held it above half year or a
year at the most" One wife was sac
rificed, another was procured, and so
the process went on. De Foe Is careful

The Duke of Wellington, according
to G. r. Gleig's "reminiscences, was
ignorant Of most things and seemed In
capable Of learning. Once, for instance
he asked Arbuthnot how turnips propa-
gated. whether by seed or by cuttings
like potatoes. But he was a scout.
Once upon time he and Croker be-
guiled a drive by guessing the nature
Of the country beyond the Nils WHICH
they mounted. The dukes guesses were
always correct, and Croker at last ask
ed the reason. 1.-THE reason r repneo

biologists have long regarded the
fish which remains for days out of wa

strangest departures from nature, but
the most wonderful of these is the peri
ophthalmus of the west African coast.
1t not only is at much at home on lana
as in water, but climbs the mangrove
roots and takes long journeys about
the swamps on them and builds ltseH
mud houses raised above the surface,
with an opening at the top, from when
its bulging eyes stare out at every
alarm. For this life the fish is htted
with long arms, with elbow and wrlst'

species hold the mangrove roots III
