Blush a Sign Of Good Sense.

Sir Arthur Mitchell, K c. b., of Edin.
burgh, who knows much that is
strange about dreams, laughter and
other commonplace human character.
istics, has just advanced the consoling
theory that blushing is an achievement
Of which everyone who can blush
should be proud.
He says ii requires brains TO blush
Idiots cannot brush, neither can ami
mails. Sir Arthur calls attention to the
fact that tiny infants do not blush, al
though they learn to at an early age.
just as soon in fact, as the brain be-
gins to exercise its functions. In
blushing, he says, the mind always
must be affected. 1t is always and
only a bodily expression OF a mental
state 1t is a natural thing for a blush
err to say that he had tried not TO
blush No individual bushes Of his
own free Will The blush arises with
out call instantaneously and vanishes
almost as quickly. Neither for its
coming nor It's going is there any exer-
else of volition. 1t is controlled, Sir
Arthur says. solely by the brain, and
is positive sign that there is an ac-
tive brain there.

BEAR REvELEo IN LuxuRlEs
Bruins Feed Somewhat Expensive &c
Railroad Company.

A large brown bear, the property Of
the traveller, Count Schoenborn, was
being taken by train to his masters
estate in Saxony, when he broke the
bars of his cage and turned his atten-
ton to the contents of the luggage
van. He smashed two egg boxes and
sucked 112 eggs. and then exploited
four butter casks. What he did not
devour he smeared over himself and
the sides of the van.
Some crates containing poultry for
market next attracted bruin, who con-
sumed three fat geese and several
ducks and fowls. He quenched his
thirst with a hamper of cherries and
was discovered at Halle In the act Of
sampling some cheese.
The officials, threatened by bruin,
fed for their lives. A long time
elapsed before the animal was per-
suaded to re.enter his cage. during
which time the train was delayed.

the Countess Abillinia, who gave her

knightly lover was thoughtless enough
to kill his lady loves father, her af-
lection turned to hatred, she vowed
TO kill him In a dream she saw the
man who had fascinated her, and she
stood. ready to STAY him, when sud-
denly his form changed, and before
her stood a grinning skeleton, saying:
Il have already been punished This
scene is illustrated in the old book,

hshed no one probably would have be-

How Men and Women Face Death.

How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells us
his experience. Tell the man of
higher type and greater intelligence,
he says. that he is facing death, and
he begins to fight, demands con-
sultation, talks about going to special
lists, and fights grimly to the finish.
Tell woman the same facts, and she
lies back to await her fate. All women
are fatalists. On the other hand. tell
a man that he has one chance In a
thousand to recover II he will undergo
an operation, and he will trust to his
own strength and endurance rather
than undergo the knife. The woman
will choose the thousandth chance,
and submit to the operation with as
founding calmness.-Chicago Ionrn al
