HYSTERIA ON THE WANE.

Outdoor Life that Girls of To-day
Lead Accounts for Fact.
Here is tribute to the wisdom of
the modern Ideas on the upbringing of
girls:
Hysteria IL the generic name ap-
piled to some of the most battling as
well as most interesting cases with
which physicians have to deal; cases
which produce what might be called
phenomena Of the nervous system, NOR
bid and abnormal manifestations which
have been and are being studied by
medical men everywhere.
A nation whose women are inclined
to develop hysteria IL to be pitied One
whose women are conspicuously free
from the tendency Is to initiate. The
physician referred to above after not
ing the fact that hysteria Is less COM
mon In England than it was a genera
ton ago declares that much stress
must be laid on the detective educa-
ton and upbringing Of English girls
twenty-five or thirty-flve years ago.
They were allowed but little freedom
Of thought or action and were kept
closely tied to their mothers apron
strings. The mother was a well-mean-
ing person, but she had but little in
itiative and was hidebound by convic-
ton.
She was orthodox, but her orthodoxy
was that Of her mother, supplemented
by the teaching Of the village parson.
This degeneracy reached it's highest
point in the cathedral toms :. Great
Britain.
A quarter Of a century has marked a
great change in this respect and has
been concurrent with an increased ro-
business Of health of our girls They
are stronger now physically, mentally
and morally.
The advent Of bicycling and motoring
and especially Of greater facilities for
travelling In foreign countries has had
much to do with this, chiefly by per-
hitting a more vigorous and intimate
social intercourse between young men
and women. f-fT n.zs.f u
The girl of to-day dictates the policy
of her mother and with healthier out
door existence there are fewer Of the
factors which tend to make for hys-
terra and its attendant evils It Is
comparatively rare nowadays to meet
with a neurotic English girl and the.
most typical and exaggerated form Of
the disease must be sought among the
Latin races.-Medical Brief.

OAr1st1aA He1necken, the Scholar
and Mosart, Musician, Marvels.
OF all the infant prodigies that have
interested and astonished both hemi-
spheres 1t is generally believed that
none was greater than little Christian
Heinecken Of Lubbock. This remarka-
bic youngster when at tie tender age
OF II months was able to recite the
Pentateuch without an error and could
pass the most thorough examination
without single slip. Fancy a child
OF being able to converse fiuently in
both French and Latin. But that ID
what Master Christian could do and he
could hold his own with the best mas
tiers Of these languages.
No one could catch him on q single
question in history, ancient or modern,
and he was more familiar with re-
ligious and church history than the
majority Of clergymen are. Before
young Heinecken died, at the age Of
4, he was petted and made much Of by
royalty of the Danish court, whi.e
thousands Of people focked to SEE him
and listen to the words of knowledge
and wisdom that fell from his baby
lips.
Another infant phenomenon, whose
line was music instead of languages,
was beloved Mozart, who was looked
upon as harpsichord expert almost
before he could talk. As a matter Of
fact the child, Wolfgang Mozart, COM
posed concerto at the tender age Of
and, what was still more remarkable,
this composition was so difficult that
young Mozart's father, who enjoyed
an enviable reputation as a violinist,
could not master the work of his son
until he had devoted considerable time
to practicing it. Imagine this boy CIV
Ing recital In university hall be-
fore musicians of worldwide reputation
as students of music who had played
before Mozart was born. BY the time
he had reached the age of this aston,
fishing youth had won Europe entirely
and he was in fair way to being
spoiled by the kings and expresses who
showered him with honor, affection and
gifts

IMPROVING SERMONS.
~@~~~


The Kirk Of Scotland has always laid
great stress upon the power Of sermons
in it's illustrations. John Kerr, in his
"Other Memories, Old and New" gives
some Of his own recollections on this
point.
A minister whose disposition was
rather to drive than to lead called on
a woman whose attendance at church
was not quite so regular as he wished
II was pleased" he said, ito see
you at church yesterday. You have
not been very regular lately"
"Oh, yes, was there yesterday. I
likit your discoorse, and was muckle
the better OF" n4
"I'm glad of that. You'll remem-
Der the text, no doubtr'
mo, I've a very bad memory for
texts"
"Well, you remember what I said
about it, or some Of the things said?"
mo, Gamma say that l can reel OF
anything ye said"
my good woman, you must be
hypocrite to say you were the better
for being at the church, when you can
not tell me either the text or anything
I said about it."
do We see," she replied, pointing to
some clothes that were bleaching on
the green, "thae claes cot there?"
yes" he said
".Weel. watered them half an hour
since, and there's no drap o. water
to be seen on them moo butithey're
hantle the better OF for a. that"
This recalls the experience OF another
minister whose sermons were dull and
not for. edifcation. Meeting one OF
his congregation who had been seri-
GUS defaulter In respect Of attendance.
he said, "John, you have not been at
church for long time"
mo, I Gamma just say when I was
at your kirk. was gie'en some o the
ither kinks bit turn"
"But, John, have you never heard
that a rolling stone gathers no moss?"
AYE, but 1 have heard, too, that
tethered lamb taks a lang time to grow
fat"

Believes Douma is Doomed

London, April 4.-Misgivings as to
the longevity of the Douma have been
strengthened, according to the st. Pc
tershurg correspondent of the Times.
He telegraphs that it is evident that
the policy of ostracising the Constitu-
tional Democrats will not. be aban-
doned and in these circumstances it is
difficult, if not impossible, for the
Constitutional Democratic party to
fulfil it's mission of moderation. The
leaders of the party, the correspondent
says, do not know where to turn to
save the douma. Nothing but mir
acle, they think, can avert its dis
persal.

SICK MULE Is WELL PLAYED.

Dramatic Critic of q Kansas Paper
Pays His Tribute.
The sick mule was composed OF
Wayne Kimmel as the front legs and
Willie Bell as the hind legs Now the
question Is, Which showed the greater
histrionic art, the front legs or the
back legs? The front legs were GER
tainly sympathetic and showed fine
conception Of the character being por-
trayed.
Still, the back legs were easy and
natural and entered into the part with
a vim and abandon that made one In
stinctively pat the mule on the back
in a conciliatory manner before pass
ing behind the animal. The hind legs
were 30 perfect in action that it SEEM
ed a shame that they could not turn
around and bow during the applause.
But the front legs divided honors with
the back legs in every respect, and It
was equally unfortunate that the front
legs could not bow to the applause.
We do not want to have it under
stood that we wish to have the back
legs cast 4 shadow over the front
legs Both front and back legs were
fine and dandy. In delivery the hind
legs may have just shade the best OF
It, but, this Is natural, as the hind legs
are supposed to be the business end.
The front legs were par excellence In
<,oefrro ovnroszino With, fine deliCacy
what. was supposed to transpire with
the back legs The back legs woulti
then take up the cue and get In its
work. 1t was superb. 1t was grand.
Neither front nor back legs could have
been a better actor.

Remember This.


God loves each one of us with an in
tensity Infinitely beyond what the most
fervid human spirit ever felt toward
another, and with concentration as if
He had none else to think Of! And
His love has brought us into being, just
that we might be taught to enter into
full sympathy with Him, receiving His
our own-thus entering into
the Joy Of our Lord. This is the hope
the sure and certain hope set before
us; sure and certain, for "the noun
tains shall depart, and the hills be
removed; but My kindness shall not
depart from thee, neither shall the
covenant Of My peace be removed,
saith the Lord that hath mercy on
thee."-Thomas Erskine.

being. We may lie down tired with
our efforts, we may wake more tired.
but as we think, what now?" there
flashes across the mind some fresh act
OF self-sacrifice or Of ability to help
in some hidden or visible manner, and
there comes instant strength to reap
fruition. The purpose sends the blood
to the weary limbs, and the cheer Of
the heart quiets the aching head. Never
too poor, too ugly, too dull, too sick,
too friendless, to be useful to someone.
Now, one can live, no matter what may
be the pain In living; and heaven is
use, too. That glory ceases not with
life.

CANNOT NOW INTERVENE
In CENTRAL AMERICA

Washington, March 3O.-At present,
Intervention by the United States to
stop the war in Central America is not
feasible. This was the decision ar.
rived at as result of the conference
between Secretary Root and Am bassa-
dor Creel, Of Mexico. at the state de-
partment. The secretary also had the
benefit of the advices received by the
diplomatic representatives of the Gen.
trail American states from their own
governments. The absence of definite
information from the seat of trouble
is EN- barrassing to the officials who
are DESTROYS of bringing about peace.
It is feared that the collapse Of the
Bonilla government in Honduras and
the consequent installation of pro-
visional government in accord with
that of Nicaragua will result in q
combined attack, on them by other
Central American republics. It is
said that there is no disposition on the
part of this government to play the
part of policeman toward these sister
republics, but it would welcome any
proper opportunity to restore peace.
