A HAPPY HISTORIAN.
~~~~~@oOo>N

The intellectual training of Edward
Gibbon, the great historian, is mat
ter of unusual interest, writes James
Ford Rhodes in Scribner's Magazine.
From my early YOUTH wrote Gibbon
in his Autobiography" II aspired to
the character of a historian"
He had "an early and invincible love
of reading" which he said he would
not exchange for all the treasures of
1ndia," and which led him to vague
and multifarious" perusal of books.
Before he reached the age of Is he
was matriculated at Magdalen College,
giving this account of his preparation:
II arrived at Oxford" he said, with
a stock of erudition that might have
puzzled doctor and degree of ig-
norance of which a schoolboy would
have been ashamed" He did not adapt
himself to the life or method at Ok.
ford, and from them apparently de-
rived no benefit
Gibbon passed nearly five years at
Lausanne, from the age of 16 to that
of 21, and they were fruitful years
for his education. 1t was almost en-
tirely an affair of self-training, as his
tutor soon perceived that the student
had gone beyond the teacher. and al.
lowed him to pursue his own special
bent. .,
After his history was published and
his fame won, he recorded this opin-
ion: "In the life of every man of let.
tiers there Is an aerd, from a level,
from whence he scars with his own
wings to his proper height, and the
most important part of his education
Is that which he bestows on himself"
This was certainly true in Gibbons
case. On his arrival at Lausanne he
hardly knew any French, but before
he returned to England he thought
spontaneously in French, and under
stood, spoke and wrote it better than
he did his mother tongue.
II have drawn prize in the lottery
of life" wrote Gibbon. II am disgust.
ed with the affectation of men of let
ters who complain that they have re-
aounced substance for shadow, and
that their fame affords poor COM
pensation for envy, censure and perse-
cution.
MY own experience, at least, has
taught me very different lesson.
Twenty happy years have been ami.
mated by the labor of my history, and
its success has given me name, a
rank, a character in the world to
which should not otherwise have
been entitled"

industry That Has Thriven Since
The corner stone of opera Is the ten
or, and tenors are scarcer than four
leaf clovers Comic operas are now
written with baritone heroes for that
reason, the Brooklyn Eagle says, but
the great operas were written when
the disappearance of the tenor had not
been dreamed of, and tenors must be
had to sing In them; else no opera.
Hence tenor voice Is a surer and
often larger source of income than
q gold mine. Opera managers go up
and down the world listening to cab
men, truck drivers, old clo' venders
and the singers Of popular songs in
the cheap resorts, in the hope of hear
Ing voice that can be developed into
an operate tenor. For heretofore ten
ors, like the poets, have been born and
not made. The managers best chance
was to find such voice before his RI
vals and pay for Its education.
But Jean De Reszke changed all
that. He sang for years as not es-
pecially conspicuous baritone in Eu-
rope He was good enough artist,
but nobody thought of calling him
great Then a Paris teacher, adding
two or three notes to the top OF his
voice, in a few months transformed
De Reszke from singer at $4,000 q
month to one drawing S2,500 night.
Since his transformation the musi-
cal world has dreamed of raising bar
tones into tenors as the alchemtsts
dreamed of transmitting lead to gold.
And now a New York teacher has done
the trick. Rudolf Berger, who has
long been one Of the baritones OF the
Berlin opera, was the subject Of the
experiment. On Tuesday night he re-
appeared In Berlin, after years
study here, as tenor and sang Lo-
hengrin, with what the cable reports
to be great success. The audience is
said to have gone wild over the sue
cess of the singer and his teacher, and
no wonder. If that could be done
with other baritones the problem Of
an opera for every city would be
solved, Probably 1t cannot, more than
once or twice In generation, but that
will not prevent a lot Of ambitious
teachers from trying 1t. Presently we
shall see advertisements, "Tenors
made In the off season." as we now see
the signs of the emergency tailors. It
Is a great idea-if 1t will work.

The woman who exercises can more
safely indulge in rich foods, fat meats,
sweets and pastry than she who leads
a sedentary life.
Forcing food Is one of the surest
roads to dyspepsia. Except when not
in normal health the average person
should skip a meal occasionally when
not hungry.
Eyes which have become inflamed
from exposure to the sun can have the
bloodshot condition quickly reduced by
bathing them for five minutes In water
as hot as Is comfortable,
Biliousness should be fought In the
first stages. Try regulating diet. Take
glass of hot water half-hour before
each meal and at bedtime, In either
morning or evening glass squeeze Juice
of half lemon.
Do not neglect the value of fruit in
improving the complexion. Nothing
equals the Juice of oranges and lemons
to clear up the skin and brighten eyes,
The latter must be diluted and taken
without sugar, a half lemon In a glass
of water.
Perfect cleanliness of the teeth Is
most essential and can be secured by
thorough brushing in the morning
and after each meal and using an
antiseptic lotion, Dental floss should
be drawn between the teeth after each
meal and before retiring
You must not stop laughing, or you
will be like the woman who at an
advanced age had not line or wrinkle
in her face. but whose countenanee
was entirely expresslonless. Dreading
these same lines and wrinkles. she
had all her life schooled her features
TO express neither Joy nor sorrow.

suppress. That Nervous Laugh.

A musical laugh Is a rare gift; a
hearty one Is infectious; but II you are
incapable of either, suppress laugh
that means nothing. The woman who
really laughs is a Joy to those around
her 1t may not possess a pitch that
delights musicianly ear; 1t may have
infectious little notes that do not stand
for harmony; but If 1t Is real and JOY
GUS 1t will make all those who hear 1t
smile.
The laugh that is annoying Is the
one without meaning. 1t Is a nervous
ripple that Is often used as a period
or an exclamation point. 1t Is placed
at the ending Of every sentence. and
takes from the spoken word any mean
ing or emphasis it might have. Many
women who do 1t are not conscious OF
1t. They are far from silly women
They have poise and sense, and are not
as easily confused as one would judge
by the futile laughter they give after
their sentences. If this idea impresses
talking when outside the family circle
and intimate friends. You may not be
given to laughter, but again you may
6nd that you unconsciously punctuate
your most commonplace sentences with
q laugh that Is as artificial as your
back puffs
II you do this. stop 1t. This noise,
which is a giggle in girls, an inane
laugh In women, is the result OF pure
thoughtlessness.
The remarkable sound, given to man
alone, called laughter, should be used
only to express mlrth. When 1t Is not
spontaneous 1t is not laughter, and the
men who write dictionaries should give
1t another name. Giggle Is the only
substitute SO far, but 1t does not desig'
nate that insipid, mirthless sound that
hundreds of women permit themselves.

Temperaments.

The physician of a former genera
ton used to talk much Of the "tem-
permanent" of his patients, that is to
say, the predominant type of physical
constitution possessed by each. He
studied this permanent temperament
fully as carefully as he did the dis
ease temporarily present before de-
Gliding upon the line of treatment to
be- adopted.
Even to-day, although the physician
speaks less of temperaments and
dia6heses, and perhaps would be at a
loss to tell the names by which they
were formerly designated, he by no
means ignores the physical tendencies
Of his patients. From the viewpoint
Of temperament, one may regard the
human family as divided into five
great classes, although few belong
solely to one type. Most persons have
mixture of two or more, being classi-
ded rather by the one which predom-
mates.
The first of these temperaments Is
the lymphatic or phlegmatic. In this
the individuals are of quiet, rather
Inert disposition. They move slowly,
but they move surely. They are
usually dependable people, true to
their word, and faithful to perform the
duties assigned to them.
A second type, In many ways the
direct opposite of the first, is the
nervous temperament. These persons
are quick In their movements, ener-
getic in work and in play, strenuous,
but often without staying power. What
they accomplish they accomplish quick
ly.
The third type Is the gouty, san.
guine, or rheumatic. The individuals
of this group are of fiorid complexion.
frank and jovial disposition, good
eaters and sleepers, and never sick"
but in later life they pay for theh
previous health by gouty attacks. and
when attacked by serious illness, they
are likely to succumb quickly.
Persons of the bilious temperament
are poor assimilators Of food. They
suffer from intestinal indigestion.
which leads to repeated attacks Of
"biliousness;" all the processes of Sc
cretion and excretion are sluggishly
performed.
The fifth temperament is the strum
Gus. These people have poor digestion
and defective reparative power, little
cuts and scratches healing slowly;
they are always catching" whatever
contagious disease is about; they lack
drmness OF texture; the glands in the
neck, In the armpits and in the groins
frequently become enlarged.
The treatment of the same disease In
persons OF different temperaments
often varies greatly. and hence the

1t deserves consideration. 1t Is per-
fectly possible that women may have
the largest rights where they have
the smallest reverence. And If this
reverence of men for women be really
lacking, 1t is certain that the respect
of women for men will fail also. And
when the relation between men and
women shall be thus degraded, moth
ing can save the whole fabric Of life
from a process of swift deterioration.
