GROWING BETTER.

Defense Introduce Evidence Tending
to Show That While the Young Mil
lionaire Was Insane at the Time Of
Killing Stanford White His Manner
Has Since Changed From "storm
and Stress" to "CaIm and Quiet"
New York, Feb. 12.-The defense in
the Thaw case continued during the
day with the introduction of expert
testimony as to the condition of the
defendants mind during the several
months following the tragedy of the
Eadison Square Roof Gal : en-.
1--WE do this" explained Mr.. Del
mas, Thaw's leading counsel, lin or
der that the jury, by means of the
wreckage on the beach, may infer that
there has been a storm upon the wa
ters.''
The witness, who occupied the en-
tire morning session, was DR.. Britton
D. Evans, superintendent of the state
hospital for the insane at Morris
Plains, N. J. DR.. Evans declared that
when ne first visited Thaw in the
Tombs on Aug. 4 there were many in
dications of the brain storm or ex'
plosive or Illuminating condition OF
mental unsoundness through which he
had recently passed.
It now became evident for the first
time in court that the defense is en-
deavorirg to show to the jury that
while Thaw was insane prior to the
killing of Stanford White and at the
time and Immediately subsequent to
the homicide the alienists who visited
him in the Tombs found thl~- as their
visits progressed his manner chane:'
from storm and stress to calm
and quiet" DR.. Evans testimony bore
out this contention.
Replying to questions OF Mr.. Del
mas DR.. Evans said that as the result
of his first three visits he reached the
opinion that Thaw was Of unsound
mind. AS a result of his last five
visits Dr.. Evans said he reached the
opinion that Thaw's mental condition
while still impaired, was improved
over his first visit.

WOMEN IN HoPI LAND.

Remarkable State of Affairs Due to
Feminine Rule.
Hopi Land comes very close to being
a woman-governed country, for the
status Of woman in this little republic
has as much freedom and dignity as it
possessed ages ago in other tribes gov
erned as communes. Hopi society Is
based Upon the gems; that is, upon the
tie of blood relationship. 1t is a So
ciety Of equals, where help is extended
n received in the true communal
spirit. How long this will last, now
that the touch of civilization threatens
to fall Upon them, can easily be
guessed. Among the Hopi the women
are excellent specimens Of primitive hui
mainly. The young women are we'll
formed and strong, and of irreproach-
able character. They own the houses
AZ well as build them, and all family
property belongs to the woman, who is
acknowledged as the head Of the house
hold. Inheritance, therefore, is always
through the mother. and descent is
reckoned through the female line.
In spite Of the liberty and impor-
lance enjoyed by the Hopi women, their
reserve and modesty is surprising.
They are as quiet and shy as IL their
lives had been passed in the utmost Sc
clusion and subsection to the dominance
OF man. Their whole lives are devoted
to the care of their children, and the
matrimonial customs Of the Hopi are
or q grade which, If generally under
stood, might make civilized lawmakers
and writer's Of civilized customs stop
n think. 1t is marriage from the
viewpoint OF the woman, not Of the
man. It is a striking example OF the
principal effect Of woman rule, and It
must be admitted, says a writer in the
Craftsman, that it is dominated ~
the highest order of purity as well as
Of common sense.

THE DEVIL OF EVIL SPEECH.
BY Rev. Polemus II. sw


Many n catastrophe has come to
struggling human life many a heart
has Deen made to ache many a splen-
did plan has been made to fall many
4 cup of hope has been dashed from
the lips of yearning mortals; many a
victory has been turned to defeat;
many Il reputation has been blasted;
many a life has been embittered and
many a home has been broker up III
consequence of the sins of the tongue.
There is the devil of falsehood. Ev-
cry lie is of the devil. There is no
bright future for the man who cannot
be trusted. How many forms his
devil takes on! Now he is the COM
lnercial liar, who sells goods for one
thing when he knows they are some
thing else. Now he is the social liar,
who INDUCES in white squibs." Now
he Is the SANDER monger who delights
in circulating false reports because the
circulation will injure some one whom
he hates. Now he is the constituencies
politician, who persists in repeating
reports that have been nailed as lies
days and days ago, because if the re
port can be kept IN circulation 1t will
make votes for his candidate.
Then there is the devil of gossip.
How many demons of hat type there
are in our day. How persistently they
keep at work. How diabolical their
business: The gossip goes about re-
peating an ill-founded tale or personal
.--,. -. l,,lc .D- r-l; 49,
a diabclicai influence that can never
be taken back or co~unteracted. 1t is
cftentimes just a half criticism, a
slight fling, a suspicious word, a depre-
eating sentence, a whispered suspicion,
a half truth or a whole truth that
ought never to be spoken, an insinua-
ton that ought not to have amounted
to anything.
There is also the devil of unkind
speech. How co1nmo that demon is.
You will find him in good homes. You
will meet him in office. He is not a
stranger at your club. His face is not
unknown in your church. There are a
great many people who would scorn
to tell a lie. who would spurn SANDER,
could not be charged with gossip,
to whom falsehood is an utter stran-
ger, who are yet guilty of making a
place for the devil Of unkind speech
i'll their hearts.
Is it not strange that we speak the
unkindest words to those we love best?
That boys and girls will talk to their
mothers as they would not talk to any
other woman in the world? That girls
will speak to a brother as they would
not think Of speaking to any other
girls brother?

SCHOOLS FOR THE DuELIsT.
Paris, Berlin and Vienna Have Their
Regular Academies.

Paris, Berlin and Vienna Have Their
Regular Academies.
Regular dueling schools have just
been established in Paris-as well as
in Rome and Berlin and yienna-not
merely for swordsmanship alone, but
also for regular practice with the long
barreled dueling pistol. The principals
wear long padded overalls and curious
masks like those of the deep-sea diver,
with a thick glass plaque in front Of
the face.
The bullets" used are pellets OF
clay, which, however, might do very
serious damage to the pupils in these
remarkable academies were it not for
the glass protection over the face. Les
SOM are first of all given in the elab-
crate etiquette Of dueling, and next
comes instruction in the necessary de
pertinent"
Last and most important of all
comes the duel proper. with the meas
uring out of the ground, the loading of
the powerful spring pistols with the
soft clay balls and the aiming on the
part of Zach combatant at a vital spot
usually the head. No doubt the
knowledge that the shooting is innoc-
uous tends to make the duelists' aim
accurate, but there can also be no ques-
ton that it .familiarizes Il man with
the entire routine of a procedure which,
without the Initiation, would be ex-
tremely disconcerting to the bravest.
Needless to say, the majority of the
pupils by no means haye real duels up
on their hands. but among passionate
people like the French, quick to anger
and to avenge real or fancied insult,
there is no lack of attendance at the
various schools, of which three or four
have already been opened in the
French capital.-Scientific American.
