BORROWED TROUBLES.

There are many moments wasted in unnecessary worry. sometimes when we have not cares of our own we borrow from our neighbor, and thus make our selves onicious. There is wisdom in keeping ones own council, and discretion in letting our friends manage their own affairs. Much gossip emanates from idle ness alone. If ones thoughts are en- ployed they scarcely seek unnecessary ef- forts. There Is great consolation in friends, they make life-without them great loneliness would prevail. Every life has some worry, the'sun cannot shine on our house always, and when the clouds come around, it is best to wait until they roll by. Thus with our disappointments, they grow larger as we cultivate them, they are magnified as we repeat them to others, and as our secrets are often told twice they become public property and the fact that they are told over again and again makes us an object either of pity or criticism. The old adage laugh and the world laugh wits you" is often considered heartless, unsympa- thetic--it is but natural, laughter, hap
 
 discontent and fretting annihilates. Each traveller has their own burden; it does not tighten theirs to carry their friends, hence we avoid petty worry, unless we can be useful this in case of unnecessary trouble can only be by example. We are all creatures of habit; this does not per tain to outward manifestations only, but 10 thought and self-control, to reasoning the habit of thinking and thinking intelli- gently; there arc many faults, much an- noyance and worlds of borrowed griev- ances overcome by pausng a little and collecting oneself, gathering together the best that is in us, and commanding 1t for material life.
 Life is a spark in space,
 Is bright as we chance to see
 Its blunders and faults we can only
 efface
 With a heart that is joyous and free.

Jerome showed Wagner the suggestions ThaW made to Mir. Delmas for his sum ming up and asked:
 Assuming these not to have been writ ten as joke. but in good faith, by a man on trial for his life is it your opin- ion they are a product of d sound and normal mind?'
 There are many very excellent sugges- tions among those made by Thaw," re- piled the doctor.
 Dr. Wagner told the commission he had testified at the trial that Thaw was in sane when he shot and killed Stanford White and was insane for two months afterwards in the Tombs.
 Are you prepared doctor, in view of all you know of this defendant, his family history, etc, to say that he is sane man today?" asked MT. Jerome.
 No Evidence of Insanity.
 T am not here to state that positively" said Dr. Wagner. From my conversation with him this morning and from my in- tercourse with him during the trial, am forced to say that I was unable to dis cover anything to warrant the opinion that he is not sane"
 Mr. Jerome's efforts to secure more direct reply were intellectual.
 Dr. Wagner repeated to the commits sion some of his more recent conversa- tions with Thaw. When he first saw Thaw in the Tombs the prisoner said he had acted as an agent of providence in despatching Stanford White.
 q talked with him on that subject this morning." continued Dr. Wagner, "and asked him if he still thought there was any supernatural agency in the killing of Stanford White. He said no; he was convinced there was not. I asked him if he thought his present condition was se- rious. He said he thought it had been serious. but he thought his attorneys had made such progress at the trial that his position was not so serious as at first
 q asked Mir. Thaw if he had made any of the trial arrangement with his coun- sel. He said he had made definite ar engagements with some of them. but had not felt it was necessary to do so with his personal friends among the attorneys Taken altogether. his talk was intelli- gent. his answers responsive and he showed clear grasp of the entire situa- tion."
 "The grasp of a man who is now sane?' suggested District Attorney Jerome.
 Thaw Once Studied Law
 q have already stated, Mir. Jerome, that was unable to discover anything upon which to base an opinion that he is not sane. I would require a longer time than 1 have had for me to become entire ly convinced that MT. Thaw has complete ly recovered"
 Speaking of his advice to counsel.' said MT. Jerome, ''are you aware of the fact that this defendant once studied law?"
 ''Yes, he told me he had taken up the study of law at Harvard.''
 Attorney Hartridge tried to draw a more definite answer from Dr Wagner as 4 I1,,t piled:
 ''I have not enough evidence before r1e to state absolutely beyond all ques- tion as a scientific mar that he has entirely recovered"
 ''But as scientific mar, you have not discovered anything during the more than two months of this trial to enable you

At the Hippodrome.

The Rexos at the Hippodrome this week perform many wonderful stunts on skates, MT. Rexos in particular His feats of skill on regular skates, globe skates of his own idea, skating on his hands, throw ing the boomerang and with hoops are little short of wonderful when viewed by either the skater or a person who has never been on skates.
 The climax Of the act consists of his forming a human corlzscrew in the center of the floor first on both feet and then on one foot only. He revolves 100 times the first way and thirty times the sec ond. With the electrical effects at the Hippodrome the act is brilliant.
 Skating through an 1S-inch tunnel and spreading the eagle, propelling himself by his hands, conclude the act. In order to so through the tunnel he Is compelled to get his boy lower than eighteen inches, and to do this he has to spread one foot in front of him and the other behind.
 The dainty little woman in the act also skates well, and together they do num- Der of difficult and beautiful stunts in fancy skating. There is rythm in their double skating which makes it so eff fectiVe and attractive
 This afternoon MT. Rexos will lecture on the art of skating and illustrate his lecture on skates, which will be of great benefit to all skaters, new or old. He will explain some simple methods of learning to skate well and will give free lessons. Hundreds of people witness the act ak every performance. The next matl- nee performance Is Saturday.

Objects to Questions.


 'I must object to th- questions being put to this witness by the commission They are not proper cross-examination and If you will pardon my frankness in saying so, you are trying to put this gentleman in dishonorable position of swearing to one thing at one time an. another thing at another time. You must remember he swore upon one set of facts at the trial and upon q different set of facts today
 If this witness is in a dlshonorable position, interrupted Mir. Hartridge,, he put himself in 1t. That's all there is to it.''
 The examination of Dr. Diefen- dorf was shortly concluded.
 The defense asked permission to call two more witnesses-Dr. Charles G. Wag- ner of Ringhamton. N. r.. and Dr. Will liam A. White of Washington, D. C. Both physicians testified for Thaw at his trial. Dr. Wagner first took the stand.
