PEOPLE VERY MUCH ALIKE.
Simplicity is Keynote TO Much De
sired Good Manners

A vast number OF people are need
lessly anxious about their manners.
Having been house folks" all their
lives, contentedly and usefuIly round
ing out their days among kindred and
neighbors who love and understand
them and share their standards, says
an editorial in the Home Journal, they
are prone when they make rare ex-
cursion into another atmosphere to a
painful self-cOnsciousness that spoils
their pleasures.
Travel is MOI al all necessary TO
culture; some OF the finest culture the
world has ever seen owed nothing 10
travel. But there is one comfortable
result OF travel, and that is the assur-
ance it gives that people are pretty
much alike. The superficial traveller
may be impressed by how different
things abroad are from those at home,
but the wise, observer is always be
ing newly made aware how much the
same are things the world over.
So with the gift OF tongues; one Of
the best services il does for US is TO
show how much in common different
peoples have when they can under
stand each other. History is another
help; the deeper into the past the stu
dent delyes the more wonderfully he
realizes how little time has altered
human nature. And as for exalted
rank and superior talents, it seems
as If every one ought 10 enjoy the ad-
vantage Of informal association with
at least one celebrity, If only TO prove
how little real difference fame or
splendor makes.
Knowing these things keeps one de-
lightfully free from that diffidence
which prevents many persons from
appearing well in strange society and
from getting that best OF the stranger
which he can give only to one with
whom he can be at ease. When 1t
comes 10 manners there are very few
things, after all, that are essential,
and more people make an awkward
appearance because they are too con-
cerned about their manners than err
in the other extreme. An absorbed
interest in another individual. an
eager uteAIt " Atdln A4ON MS NAptAA-
ence of life corroborates OF transcends
our own, a sweet willingness to give
OF our best toward the pleasurable-
ness Of the occasion-these are much
better beginnings in good manners
than are all the etiquette books in
creation.
The way to enjoy other people is TO
think as little as possible OF any
points in which they may differ from
us and as much as possible of the
many points in which they must re-
semble US. And as for which fork TO
eat fish with, and whether to leave
one card or two, and what to say TO
a hostess when presented-what folly
TO agonize ones self into a cold per-
spiration over these things. when If
we but knew the truth we should find
that about four-fifths of those present
had no more settled convictions on
the subject than we. And If we could
see the knowing fifth neatly roped on
from the rest We should find fewer OF

Beyond the Visible the Invisible, Be-
yond the Invisible the Unknown.
In "Victor Hugo's Intellectual Auto
biography" the great Frenchman
writes as follows of the infinite after,
asking what vehicle shall be adopted
to cross the spaces of the universe:
1.-The locomotive travels fifteen leagues
an hour. The hurricane travels sixty,
leagues an hour. The cannon ball
travels 700 leagues an hour. The To-
connective drags; the hurricane limps;s
the cannon ball is a tortoise. Let us
bestride n ray of light. This is a
mount 1000 times swifter than the
cannon ball, 100000 times swifter
than the hurricane and 100000
times swifter than the locomotive. 1t
makes, as you know, 10000 leagues a
second.
Start Light launches you from
the earth to the sun in eight minutes,
from the sun to Oceanus in four hours.
from Oceanus to Centaurus in three
years and eight months, from Cen
taurus to the pole star in twenty
eight years. from the pole star to the
Milky way in 1880 years, from the
Milky way to the nebula of Canes
Venatici in 100000 years-you have
not yet taken u step.
1.-The apparitions of the universe will
continue to loom. The unsoundable
will remain before you in its entirety
Beyond the visible the invisible, be-
yond the invisible the unknown.
Everywhere, everywhere, in the ze-
NTH, at the nadir, In front, behind,
above, below, in the heights, in the
depths. looms the formidable dark
ness of the infinite.
What then, is there back of all
this? Nothing, say you? Nothing?
What! l, worm Of the earth, am
possessed of an intelligence, and this
immensely is without one? Oh, pardon

A peculiar feature of lightning when
attacking Il human being is that It is
known to cure as we'll us to kill. In
one instance man who was para
lyZed on one side of his body from
childhood was struck by a thunder
bolt, and after remaining insensible
for twenty minutes he recovered
with the full use of all of his members.
Another case was that of an invalid
in one of the Austrian hospitals who
was lucky enough to stand in the way
Of an atmospheric spark and was en-
abled without delay to leave the hos
pital perfectly well.
A similar occurrence took place on
the passenger packet boat New York
when person who had been hopeless
ly paralyZed for q great many years
was struck by lightning. He was so
astOniShed to find himself cured that
he ran about the deck like a mailman
and was SO craZed with Joy that the
rest Of the passengers believed him to
have become mentally unbalanced un
til they learned the cause of his exu-
berance.
The cases where persons have bene-
flied by a visit from this heavenly
power are too numerous to mention,
as in number Of cases they have lost
their deafness or rcgained their eye

the number of people it touches each

which we would not get an overdose
