Why Tragedy Is Cut of Favor,

The only thing demanded of the
stage by a great majority of it's pa.
irons is to be amused. The old time
love Of tragedy is gone never to re-
turn. The reasons for its departure
and for its staying away are easily
perceptible. There are but two OF
them, and the first is the redundant
plentitude of the tragic in the every.
day life Of the people. The other is
the strcnuousness Of modern business
life. In this respect our time con.
trasts with that of our grandfathers'
as the placid surface of a pool on q

strange that the people seek relief

suows INFLUENCE OF MIND.

IN the Journal de Psychologist. M.
Mayer treats of the influence OF the
mind on bodily secretions. we know
that a tempting morsel of food makes
the mouth water" and that stories
or memories can bring tears 10 the
eyes. Observations on dogs nave
shown that the nature OF the saliva
secreted at the sight Of food depends
on the nature of the food. The stom
achal secretions of the dog are also
excited by the sight of food. Some
dogs, however, OF a cold, positive
temperament" not illusioned by CHI
meras or what is out of reach. patient
" wait until the food comes to their
gullet before their mouths water or
their gastric juices are provoked. II
Is assumed that what holds for dogs
probably holds for men. The obser'
vations appear to show the import
ance of eating food that pleases and
avoiding what displeases or disgusts
They also run counter to the physio'
logical theory of the emotions, accord
ing to which the physiological phe-
nomena are caused by organic
changes. This may be the case with
some emotions" for example the
feeling of hunger, but for emotions
