A BUDGET OF MAXlMS.

Rather than say nothing, men are
content to speak i'll OF themselves.
A proud man can never be 4 loser
no, not even when he renounceS his
pride.
It is much less for mans honor to
distrust his friends than to be deceived
by them.
Few people have the wisdom to like
reproofs that would do them good bet

1t is with true love as with ghosts
and apparittons, a thing that everybody
talks Of and scarce anybody hath seen.
The most disinterested love is, after
all. but kind OF bargain in which the
dear love Of our own selves always

uFreedom to Worship God"

One Of the conditions which promote
peace between the states of the United
States is that wherever any citizen
may be he is free to enjoy whatever
form of religion he prefers. He may
be Christian, Mohammedan or pagan,
as he pleases, only he must preserve
the peace and live decent life. World
peace will be unspeakably promoted if
there prevails such system of world
law that when man goes into any
part OF the world he will be free to
worship God after any form he prefers.
Other liberties now not known in all
countries may be expected in the grow
ing liberation and homogeneity Of the
world.-R. L. Bridgnlan i'll Atlantic.

HAMLET:S MALADY,

A study OF the Melancholy Dane and

The tragedy OF Hamlet is that man
of Il peculiar introSpective tempera-
ment is called upon to settle q practical
crisis. Hamlet knew this very we'll
himself, and that makes the tragedy
deeper. Br::tus never doubted when
once his decision was taken that he
was the right man to cure the evils Of
Rome; Hamlet doubted from the very
beginning.
The times are out Of joint. o cursed spite
That ever I was born to set them right.
He was too fine, too distinguished.
too intellectual, q character to be the
rough instrument which fate demand

yzing his own motives. which is gener
ally destructive of action If you once
begin asking yourself what will be the
results and consequences of definite
act, you will ind that at the moment
Of action your will is paralyzed by ex-
cess of scrupulosity, as Hamlet's was
when with his drawn sword he saw his
uncle praying. 1t was disease of will
from which Hamlet was suffering. In
any other times it would not have been

he was called upon to do specific act

but is it an honest. ghost. is it really

1t on the battlements Of Elsln0re, but
he entirely disbelieve5 it in another
mood, when despite the evidences Of
his senses he talks Of ''the bourn from
which no traveller returns" The tray
eler who had returned Is dismissed ap-
parertly as fantasy Of his brain. And
these supernatural visit;ngs in such an
analytic and interpretive mind do not,
