Small boys will no doubt continue
t. eat green fruit with no discrimina-
ton as to kind or quantity or manner
of consumption. For the benefit of
less adventuresome adults, the depart
ment of agriculture informs us that
adequate m%astication will prevent dis
astrous results from eating unripe
fruit, and that the danger is less than
is commonly supposed, especially
from gooseberries, plums, apples and
pears. This is in accord with the as
sertion of the poet that it was a little
green peach that made the trouble.
On ripe consideration, the Youths
Companion feels constrained to ad-
wise everybody of whatever age to es-
chew all green fruit-eschew it 80
times.

The Mikado as a Poet.

Great as is the position won fGT
himself by Mutsu Hito in the litera-
ture of his country, it must be
avowed that his poetry, from the
point Of view Of the west, is second
rate, says Current Literature. In the
original it is comparable only, affirm
native critics.. with perfume from the
trees. A striking feature of what
DR.. James A. B. Scherer-high author
ity on the subject-terms these Lilli-
putian odes is, he thinks, their "ellip-
tical terseness of STYLE" Hence, Mutsu
Hito's poetry lacks quantity, accent,
tone, rhyme, and all the incidents to
prosody. His majesty's stanzas are
made up of five and seven syllable
lines alternating, unless some patri-
otto frenzy agitates his muse. His
genius is grave. in the ode, gay in the
stanza, enabling him to perform with
out adventurous aid all the functions
Of the court poet. Thus, when a lady
in the diplomatic circle was returning
to her native land, and received in
consequence the unprecedented honor
of a visit from the empress, a royal
stanza embellished the parting. 1.-The
gray goose" ran the verse, "is flying
westward" The departing lady's
white hair was symbolized by that
bird to which Japanese artists are so
partial, the goose itself being en-
blematic in the native poetical mind
of feminine loneliness in its most raw
ishing aspects. The Japanese pretti-
ness of the thing is quite sacrificed in
u rugged ~phraseology. Mutsu Hito's
poetical fame is, therefore, strictly ma

When sending a car off on a record
making or breaking trip. en- the Pacific
coast, observes Automobile, there are
more things to be thought of than
gasoline, oil, tires and spares-many
more-and not the least of them is the
fact that, owing to the lamentable
lack of bridges and other signs of civ
ilization, there are apt to be many
times when the car will find itself
under water. Now the modern auto
mobile, while amphibious to a certain
extent, is not a diver, and when the
wet begins to rise above the foot
boards there is usually a mufled sigh
and a gurgle that sounds the death
knell of the carbureter as we'll as the
ignition system.

The Decisive Factor.

Temperament is a word that has
fallen into some d%iscredit, according
to a writer in the Revue Scientifique,
but after all, temperament itself is the
decisive factor in the daily life of
every human being. Heredity counts
for much, no doubt, and environment
is very important; but heredity and
environment together are not so in
fuential in determining the factor Of
ones everyday life as temperament.
An illustration of its potency is seen
In the ease with which a fortune teller
can read the past of a perfect stran-
ger. Many well-informed persons are
skeptical when clairvoyants claim to
be able to read the past life Of an in
dividual. The too credulous, on the
other hand, are amazed when some
fortune teller states accurately the
record Of their lives. The feat is COM
paratively easy. One needs but to
know what a human beings tempera-
ment is-sanguine, Emphatic, bilious
or nervous-in order to read an out
line of his or her past. Hence all i'm
posters of the successful sort, like
Cagliostro, for instance, studied hui
man temperament carefully. Charac-
ter, we are told, is destiny. It would
be more scientific to say that temper
ament is destiny. Opposed tempera-;
ments, if united too closely, may lead
to divorce, to rivalry, to a thousand
and one complications inexplicable
upon any other hypothesis. Before-we
can estimate any man or woman truly
we must satisfy ourselves as to his or
her temperament.

A Hearing Ear.

HggAat tltn-HLE - -
a busy doctor who had engaged a
young assistant was asked If he really
intended to entrust him with his
cases. sob, no." he replied. He will
listen to the patients, look sympa-
sthetic, and report to me in the fewest
possible words. A sick woman has to
talk just SO much, and I haven't time
to listen" The minister, the lawyer
and the teacher might follow the doc
tors example, and employ a listening
double" to their great relief, remarks
the Youths Companion. In fact, it
may usually be found that the most
helpful person in the town is the one
who can listen best to the complaints
and ~perplexities of the women-folk.
Self-expression is as necessary for the
welfare of most women as food and
drink. The very laxative woman has
q silent husband-not simply because
she does not give him time to speak,
but because she was attracted to him
In the first place by his genius for
listening. However, there may be
something more than mere self-indul-
gence in the habit of talking things
out" with some ~appreciative listener.
The wisest of women know that they
get light on their own perplexities by
the act of putting them into words. A
mother is often her own best adviser
as to the training of her child, when
she has once formulated his needs.
The remedy for the fault appears
when the fault is fairly described. So
the ecours to the listening ear is
mot to be entirely decried. It is only
when continual talk breaks down the
proper barriers of reserve that the
talking woman becomes a nuisance to
her friends and a menace to her fam
lily. 1t is pitiful to see the condition
of silent misery to which a family is
reduced when n woman in it is a
chronic chatterer. What were your
fathers last words?" asked a sympa.
thetic neighbor of a little boy jus,
bereaved. HE didn't have any,"
gravely replied the child. Mother
was with him all the time!"

One seldom realizes how many
things which are dear to sentiment
are repulsive to hygiene. The London
Lancet includes in the list the passing
of the loving cup and the cup of COM
m%union; the dust and cobwebs on old
Winebottles, the much-smoked meer-
sdhaum or brier pipe, mo%ss-covered
and time-stained stones, carpets, rugs,
draperies, the open fire and even the
smoky haze which makes London the

The New York Legislature has
passed a bill which gives women
school teachers in New York city the
same pay as men. 1t has long been
maintained that for equal work there
should be equal pay. The lower rate
of pay for women teachers has, for
better or for worse, left American
common school education largely in
the hands of women, and tended to
keep men out of the profession.

Forest fires, costly as they are, do
not always entail complete loss. Fire
killed timber is often valuable, espe-

even when long dry, it is useful for
railroad ties. The government,

encouraging the use Of such timber
for ties in order to tighten the demand
for green wood.
