The Man with the roothache.

A man with the tOothache doesn't
care about anything else. The glories
OF the world pail on his taste, the Won
ders Of creation seem as naught.
The tooth becomes volcano Of
belching fury and the rest of life hid
den in cloud of its billowing smoke
You can't borrow anything from a
man with the toothache. You can't in
struct and improve him. You tell him
that the world travels at the rate Of
1000 miles minute and it doesn't
startle him in the least. He simply
groans.
You say to him, "N1y friend, there
are stars so far off that their light has
not yet reached this world" but he
doesn't mind 1t. He only bowls.
You tell him that some Of the sun
spots are 100000 miles in diameter,
and that one Of them would take a
Jupiter at one mouthful, but it is moth,
ing to him. The toothache is neglect.

ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
Defined as n Disease That Afhict,
Amateurk.

Amateurs.
Gilbert X. Chesterton's "Heretics"
contains some of his keenest and most
amusing writing. OF great men he OBJ
serves: ''rhe first rate great man is
equal with other men. like Shakespeare
The second rate great man is on his
knees to other men, like Whitman.
The third rate great man is superior to
other men, like Whistler" In the fol-
lowing there may be discovered as
much truth as humor:
THE artistic temperament is dis
ease which arises from men not having
sufficient power of expression to utter
and get rid of the element of art in
their being. 1t is healthful to every sane
man to utter the art within him; it is
essential to every sane man to get rid
of the art within him at all costs.
Artists of large and wholesome vital
ity get rid of their art easily, but in
artists of less force the thing becomes
IL pressure and produces a definite pain
which is called the artistic tempera
ment. Thus very great artists are able
to be ordinary men--men like Shake
speare or Browning. There are many
real tragedies of the artistic tempera
ment, tragedies of vanity or violence OF
fear, but the great tragedy of the ar
tistic temperament is that it cannot
produce any art.

FlDDLERS AND DRUMMERs.
The Two Classes of Insects That Pro-
tluce Audible Sounds.

Insects that produce sounds audible
to human ears have been roughly divid
ed into two claSSeS-fddlerS and drum
mers. The grasshopper is Il fiddler and
makes music by scrapng its fore wings
against the rows of spinelike teeth that
ornament its thighs. The katydid also
plays an chronological fiddle. 1t pro-
luces its notes by rubbing the inner
side of the hind legs over the front
wings.
The locust, on the other hand, is a
drummer and Il loud one too. His
drum is formed by Il membrane situ-
ated at the base of the fore wing, and
he can make a forest ring with it. The
cicada. or seventeen year locust, car
rieS Il drum at the base of the abdomen
and makes with it noise that seems
to be quite as terrifying in the insect
world as that produced by the gorilla
pounding its resoundng chest is among
wild beasts. 1t is said that the clcada
sometimes frightens away its enemies
with the rattle of its drum.
There are other drumming insects
which make good music, but the violin
lists, after ALL carry off the palm, FOL
the great insect solost, the cricket, Is
fiddler.

LONG ENGAGEMENTS.
A Woman's Plan by Which to Bring
About Happy Marriages.

hHPpy
Marriage is an institution of the
state; therefore she should put it out
of the bonds of possibility that people
can marry each other in two days or
Il week. How many marriages would
be broken off if the state required a
three years engagement before people
are married? After all, if woman
wants to become a nun in two months,
no convent in the world will accept
her. She must be a novice for two or
three years. During that time she has
to make an examination OF her con-
science every day and to find out if
she has Il vocation for a nun. But
women and men marry without the
slightest preparation. without the
slightest thought of the future, while
Dame Nature laughs at her most odd
pairings. She wants her world peopled.
That is her part. The men and women
who are i'll suited to each other are not
her affair.
Girls and boys at school should be
taught to look upon marriage as the
most beautiful, the happiest, the most
desirable and the most possible thing
in the world. Boys should be taught
to keep their minds and their bodies
pure for the state which they will
probably enter and to have sense OF
protection and loyalty to girls, and
girls should be taught industry, self
sacrifice and responsibility for the mar
ried state.-Mrs. L. p. O'Connor in
Black and White
