SHOWS INFLUENCE OF MIND.
Evidence Antaaonistic to Physiologi.
cal Theory Of the Emotions.


In The Journal de Psychologist. M.
Mayer treats of the influence of the
mind on bodily secretions. We know
that tempting morsel OF food makes
the mouth water" and that stories
or memories can bring tears to the
eyes. Observations on dogs have
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
outlet before their mouths water or
their gastric juices are provoked. 1t
ID 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-
n0mena are caused by organic
changes. This may be the case with
some emotions" for example the
feeling of hunger, but for emotions
properly so-called 1t is rather the
other way about.-London Globe.

THE ANTIQUITY OF FASHION.
Japanese Historian Commented On II
Centuries Auo.

Every day the assertion that there
is nothing new under the sun" IL
more than verified. 1t is told by a
japanese writer of the twelfth cen
fury that the great ladies' of the Flow
cry Kingdom not only had passion
for wearing emotional" robes. but
that they were much more ambitious
and bold in their conception OF such
costumes than is the woman of to-day.
This Japanese historian ayers that at
fete so many centuries ago one OF
the ladies wore a robe signifying wa
ter, the mirror OF nature and an
other "love lurking in summer haze"
and SO on. These marvellous effects
were accomplished by wearing diaph-
anous materials. one over another, OF
various shades, until the sense OF
solid color was lost in a maze OF
changing melting harmony OF color.
Sometimes as many as twenty-five
robes were worn, one over another,
richly embroidered and picked out
with Jewels and sprays of flowers.

L,coR,cE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation Of Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.


Pretty nearly 100000 worth of
licorice is used up In this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made from the
wooden twigs and branches of a tree.
But in reality the licorice wood is the
root of a very pretty, dainty plant,
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on one
side and pale silver green on the 9TH
er. The licorice plant is perennial.
and in England. where they are trying
to make an industry of raising it. the
experimenters plant 1t in rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to 1t al
together. The licorice plant throws
out immensely feshy roots. full OF
juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth.
and good, big hole has to De dug to
get them out. The licorice wood, as
we see 1t here, represents only about
half the original weight and size Of
the root, for fully 50 per cent Of the
juice is lost in drying It, Therefore
the licorice dealers are getting to be
more and more in favor Of squeezing
the juice of the roots on the spot and
then shipping this extract.

Agency Formed to jog the Memory
The frequent cases of weakness OF
loss of memory which threaten &c
make this age remarkable have given
rise in Vienna to the establishment Of
q "Memento Agency" whose function
is to relieve Of anxiety those people
who can not rely on their own recol
ection with regard to future engage
ments. The agency issues double
envelope to its clients. In one, on
which you write your name, address
and the date on which you wish to
have your memory logged, you inc1ose
note OF the particular business OF
which you want reminding. You seal
1t up and send it, in the second on.
velope, to the agency, which returns
you the Enclosure exactly at the de
sired time. You are thus freed from all
intermediate worry. There is only one
possible flaw In this arrangement.
Who can guarantee that the employees
of the agency will not also lapse into
forgetfulness?

COMEDY OF a wAlsrcoAr.
Enolishman Furnished Amusement for
French Police OFFICIALS.

Enaiishman Furnished Amusement for
French Police ofGieiaIs.
An Englishman who had obviously
been dining rather well than wisely
walked up to the police station in the
Place de rOpera in Paris the other
night and sent the officials into roars
OF laughter.
He could not speak French, SO, to
explain that his watch and money
had been stolen, he solemnly took on
his overcoat and coat and showed
that his waistcoat contained none of
his valuables.
The police were attracted by this
waistcoat, which was white. and had
4 border three inches deep. Exam
lining 1t, they found that he was wear
ing 1t inside out and that his watch
and chain were in their proper places.
The Engishman went out into the
night in state OF complete mystifi-
cation. His state prevented him from
understanding how the police had
found his belongings. and he over
whelmed them with compliments they
could not understand.

How to Remain voune Naturally.

Better than the art of growing old
gracefully is the secret Of not grow.
ing old at all. 1t is something worth
knowing and worth remembering.
The secret is concealed in the fact
that men and women are as old as
they take themselves to be. That i'm.
plies will power. but what Of It? The
world is governed by will power
When a man says that he Is dead
on his feet he is usually telling the
truth.
Growing old is a habit. When a
man at 40, or so. or 60 years imagines
that he is growing old. he will be old.
After awhile the world will learn
the secret Of longevity. Improve con
ditions, supplemented by will r.17r
will perform the miracle.
Then a man, instead of growing ID
gracefully. will remain young natur

Sappho's Leap was the name given
