Preiudice.

The word "prejudice" comes from
two Latin words, "pro'' or pre-" be-
forehand. and "judico," I Judge. There
fore prejudice" means the forming of
an opinion beforehand or before knowl-
edge. To form an opinion o. declare a
judgment concerning any subject with
out or ignoring knowledge is "preju-
dice" An opinion formed after a life
long acquaintance and experience and
after thorough investigation and study
may be erroneous, but cannot properly
be styled prejudice" When the teach
ing and experiences Of the world are
disregarded, when the facts Of history
and science are ignored or denied, the
conclusions or opinions thus arrived at
must not only be mistaken, but they
must be the result Of prejudice.

JAPANESE NEW YEARS..
A Day Of Religious Rites and spe'
.cially Prepared Dishes.

A Day of Religious Rites and spe-
.cially Prepared Dishes.
To a devout Japanese breakfast on
New Years day is a religious rite rath-
er than a vulgar satisfaction Of the ap-
petite, says the London Chronicle. No
ordinary dishes are consumed at this
meal. The tea must be made with wa
ter drawn from the well when the first
ray of sun strikes it, q potpourrt of
materials specified by law forms the
staple dish, while at the finish a meas
ure of special sake from a red lacquer
cup must be drained by whatsoever de-
sires happiness during the coming year.
In the room is placed an ''elysfan
stand" or red lacquer tray. covered
with evergreen leaves and bearing a
rich dumping, a lobster, oranges. per-
simmons, chestnuts, dried sardines and
herring roe. All these dishes have q
special Specification. The names OF
some r homonoymus with words OF
happy omen; the others have an allie
gorical meaning. The Holsters curved
back and long claws typify life pro-
longed till the frame is bent and the
beard is long; the sardines, which al
ways swim in pairs. express conjugal
bliss: the herring is symbolical Of a
fruitful progeny.
These dishes are not intended for con-
sumption, although in most cases the
appetite is fairly keen. The orthodox
Japanese not only see the old year out;
he rises ut 4 to welcome the newcomer
and performs many ceremonies before
he breaks his fast.

Died Pleading For More Time.
"'To be celebrated and to be loved
these were Balzac's two supreme and
passionate DESIRES" writes Tighe Hop
kins, the English author. HE gave the
preference to fame and killed himself
with work If ever author did. His
books-each one of which, when he had
settled down to the 'Gsmedie HUI
maine,' he proclaimed a masterpiece
were q veritable obsession. We know
now with what ceaseless and almost
insane toll he brought them forth and
can see him wrapped in the monks
robe Of white flannel, the big throat
laid bare, veins swollen, the great
black eyes atlame, agonizing over plot
and scene, s%upplicating and cursing the
phrase that would not come, sustaining
this through the days and nights of
three dreadful weeks at a stretch In
the sealed and %curtained chamber
where the candles were never extin-
guished. Then. livid, unwashed and
half clothed, he would drag himself to
the printers. Thus only in a nation
of stylists could the man that never
achieved a style make himself the first
novelist Of his day and a classic.
"Wearing and wasting as this ira
vail was, Balzac's splendid strength Of
body, the sure and ready return Of his
inspired and seer-like periods. his
quenchless belief in himself and in
trepid faith in the future enabled him
to continue it, with a minimum Of re-
pose, for t%hirty-one successive years.
And what q bulk Of work! From 1921
to 1924 he wrote thirty volumes, and
in 1924 he was but twenty-five years
Of age and had not even begun to think
Of the 'Comedie Humane
"Between 1880 and 1912 seventy-nine
novels Of the Comedy saw the light.
and with all this the great work was
never completed. On his deathbed
he pleaded with his doctor for six
months, six weeks, six days in which
to consummate his task and sank into
coma while pleading for six hours"

Mexican Weeds That When Used

Mexican wee0s That When Used
VIII Drive Men Grassy.
Marihuana Is a weed used by people
Of the lower class and sometimes by
soldiers, but those who make larger
use Of it are prisoners sentenced to
long terms. The use Of the weed and
its sale, especially in barracks and
prisons, are very severely punished, yet
it has many adopts, and Indian women
cultivate it because they sell it at rath-
er high prices. g
The dry leaves Of marihuana, alone
or mixed with tobacco, make the smok-
er wilder than a wild beast. 1t Is said
that Immediately after the first three or
four drafts of smoke smokers begin to
feel a slight headache; then they see
everything moving, and finally they
lose all control Of their mental facul-
ties. Everything, the smokers say,
takes the shape Of a monster, and men
look like devils. They begin to fight,
and Of course everything smashed is a
monster "killed." But there are i'm
aginary beings whom the wild man
cannot kill, and these inspire fear until
the man Is panic stricken and runs.
J.. Not long ago a man who had smoked
a marihuana cigarette attacked and
killed a policeman and badly wounded
three, others. SIX policemen were. need
ed to disarm him and march him to the
police station, where he..had1.to be put
into a straitjacket. Such occurrences
are frequent.
There are other plants equally dan.
gerous, among them the tolvache, q
kind of loco weed. The seeds Of this
plant boiled and drunk Is tea will
make a person insane. Among some
classes of Mexico it IL stated that Car
lotta, the empress Of Mexico, lost her
mind because she was given tolvache in
a refreshment.
There is in the state Of Michoacan
another plant the effects Of which upon
the human organism are very curious.
The plant grows wildly in some parts
Of Michoacan, and natives have OBJ.
served that whenever they traverse q
field where there were many Of such
plants they lose all notion of places.
For this reason when q person reaches
a place where there are many Of these
plants he forgets where he is going.
where the place is and even where he
is and what he is doing there. 1t takes
from three to four hours for a person.
affected by the smell of the plant to re
cover the full control of his mental fac
ulties.
Another very curious plant is the one
called de las carreras in some places
where it grows. When a person drinks
q brew of the leaves or seeds Of the
plant he feels an impulse to u and
will run until he drops dead or exhaust

Rur Your Troubles.

Train yourself to keep your troubles
to yourself. Don't pour them out upon
acquaintance or strangers. 1t isn't
their fault If you have troubles, and
they don't want to hear of yours, be-
cause they have so many Of their own.
And besides-here. is a point to con
sider-if you insist OF telling other
people of your grievances they will at
length come to dislike and shun you,
because thereby you prevent them
from telling their troubles.
