MEANING IN LOSS OF TEMPER.
Misfortune That Should Call for Ones
Sympathy.

A person complained to Socrates
that man had not returned his salu-
tation, and seeming to be angry about
it, Socrates said to him: 1T is an odd
thing that if you meet a man ill con-
ditioned in body you would not have
been angry, but to have met man
rudely disposed in mind provokes
YOU
This means that bad temper is like
a headache, fever or fit of rheu-
matism, and that ones attitude to-
ward it should be that of. sympathy
and sorrow, and not of anger or re-
sentiment, says writer in the Ohio
State Journal. A bad temper is a
'rheum or microbe in the blood. A man
cannot help it. 1t is a fate that has
been decreed against him by many
conditions. We use the term bad tenn
per in it's accustomed sense, but really
there;;1s no such thing. Temper is
equilibrium, evenness, balance, poise,
and when this condition is disturbed a
man is said to lose his temper and
take on the unnatural condition, which
is disease.
So when man loses his temper, he
loses his health, and thus becomes an
object Of sympathy. And as man
who is sick loses his strength, SO does
a man who loses his temper A man
who flies into passion is weaker for
it afterward. One who is surly, sour,
ill-natured is always a weak man.
Whatever he gains in the world is at
the expense of self-respect and per-
-sonal influence! It is hard for a man
to hold his temper through disappoint-
ments and amid dislikes. There is, a
| spell that takes him unawares. 1t is
misfortunate and not a fault, but, if it
can be averted like other distempers,
|'by good habit and hygienic living, it
becomes fault, and the more griev-
Gus because it can be cured by pa
.tience and kindn ness, for the loss of
ones temper means the loss of these.

that she had been adopted by her uncle
her life had been full of household du-
ties, which were further increased by
catering to the many whims OF the
aging politician.
The training at her uncle's house
had made Mary an exceedingly eco
nomical hOusekeeper, and she was not
long in finding that her husbands
extravagant ways were not at all JUS
titled by their resources. She knew
the exact amount of her husbands SAL
ary and also knew that they were liv-
ing beyond it. With the realization of
their prodigality came Mary's deter
mination to retrench expenditures, and
she began by discharging their two
servants.
Ferguson's first intimation of his
Wife's economical measures came to
him one night at dinner. Instead of
the servant he found his young wife,
in snowy apron, attending TO the table.
His wifes arrangement was not a.
all to Fergusons liking.
You foolish little girl, you! And
you Want to save, and so that won't
feel it But tell you it can't be done.
We don't have to economize, Mary.
