NERVES THE CAUSE OF MUCH VII
LAINY.

MANY overwrougAt villains Of the past, if
they were alive now, would be subjected to
q rest cure, which, though it could not turn
them into good men, might make their
viIlainy less irrational and dangerous. The
worst tvrauts Of the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance, the worst Roman omperors,
seem TO us incOmprehensible monsters OF
i|niauitv, men who did evil for the love OF 1t.
We should understand them better II we
consider how likely their way OF living was
to disorder their nerves, says the London
Times. No doubt Nero, even if he had
been brought up IN the most modern way,
taught from a child to take an interest IN
nature and to eat only the most wholesome
things, would never have been a very useful
or pleasant person. But he might have
been a harmless faddist or an innocent, #
un~distinguished, minor poet.
As it was, he was the master Of the world,
with no one to prevent him from eating and
drinking what he chose or from taking
whatever other unwholesome pleasure he
was inclined to. No doubt he exceeded in
everything, and suffered from extreme irrl-
liability ia consequence. Unfortunately he
could indulge his irritability without re-
straint. If, when he felt cross of a morning,
he ordered a Senator to die, the Senator did
die and he heard no more of it. Moreover
there was always fear to work upon a
tyrant's nerves and some Emperors became
tyrauts because Of that fear. Domitian
was a martyr to it, though a good man Of
business. If he were a stock broker Of to-
day no doubt lie would worry himself in
cessantly about the state of the markets,
and every one would pity him for his
nervousness. AS he was a Roman Emperor,
we think of him as a sinister villain who
killed men for the pleasure Of it.
We often hear talk Of that terrible taedl-
UNI vitae from which Roman mobiles suffered.
We should call it nerves now and our
doctors would prescribe a strict diet aud q
course of golf or gardening for it. But the Ro-
man noble did not know how to treat it. He
made a feast, and drank deep and fast, and
crowned himself with flowers and the next
morning must have felt it worse than ever,
Blu since be was a Roman noble he is q ro-
mantle figure to US and not a mere sufferer
from our modern disease of over strain

the hostess said had evidently been
left by mistake by the woman who had
taken the other garment. The avail
able coat was taken away by the wo-
man whose wrap was missing in the
hope that the mistake would be recti

Several days passed, and no claim
was made for the coat the guest had
worn away from the house, and the
woman took it to a dealer, where her
garment had been purchased, hoping
that some mark on the substituted
coat might be found by Which the
owner could be identified. The plan
was successful, and, much to her
amazement, she discovered that the
inferior coat was the property of her

The Apnreciation of Music.

If we would appreciate music Alright
we must remember that it's beauty de-
ponds not upon the composer alone
but upon ourselves also. Deep calls
unto deep, and the harmony Of sound
though appealing primarily to the out
ward ear, must be answered by har-
mony from within ourselves. The
more culture we bring to the hearing
of music, the wider our sympathy, the
more exquisite will be the echoes
which it awakens in the soul. If we
would understand the composers mes
sage we must cooperate with him.
We must reach out to him with all
our faculties. IL we do that, the reve-
lation of music will ceaselesSly renew
its beauty, ever turning unimagined
aspects to gladden. us.-Redfern Mason

The Word nPerson.u

General Benjamin f. Butler, it Is
said. once asserted that a woman was
not a person, and a London suf-
fragette insists that the word person
in its legal sense includes woman. The
word has had an interesting history.
Signifying by etymology something to
make a sound through, the Latin per
soma" began by meaning an actors
mask with It's mouthpiece. Then it
meant the character represented by
the player-"dramatis personae." Then
ii came to mean the part or character
one sustains in real life, and so the
persona ecclesiae," the man who rep
resented the church, became known
as a person" in a special sense and
was eventually spelled as ''parson.
On the other hand, person" faded
away to mean just anybody. And So,
though woman naturally resents be
ing referred to as a person in or
binary talk, many women no less nat
urally desire to count as persons in
the eye of the franchise law.-Chicago

SAW THE GHOST.
A Story That Stood the Test Of
Court Of Law.

AS a circumstantial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny Of q
court Of law Booty's case is without a
parallel. The date given is 1858 when
Mrs. Booty brought an action for SIAN
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said of her late husband.
According to an extract from a jour
nal produced in court, dated Friday,
May Is. 1857, the captain on that day
went ashore with a large party OF
friends to shoot rabbits upon Strombo-
II, the island off Italy, which, from It's
ever burning crater, is called the
lighthouse of the Mediterranean" At
about 30 in the afternoon two men
We're seen running toward the volcano,
which was emitting flames. Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed. Lord bless
me. the foremost is old Booty, my
next door neighbor." They then van
ished in the flames, fact Of Which
every one present took note.
Upon Captain Barnaby's return to
England be learned that "old Booty"
had died just about the time Of the
strange occurrence at Stromboli- He
then made the remark which was the
subject of the action, that he had
seen old Booty running into the flames
Of hell pursued by the devil" Mrs.
Booty claimed $1,000 as damages, and
the case came on in the kings bench
before the chief justice, Sir Robert
Wright. For the defense, in addition
to the testimony Of Captain Barnaby
and his friends, old Booty's clothes
were brought into court and identified
by several witnesses as being similar
to those worn by the foremost man
who ran into the crater-even to the
peculiar buttons on the coat. The
Judge was so impressed by this evil
dence that he said: Lord have mercy
upon me and grant that may never
see what you have seen. One, two or
three may be mistaken, but not thir-
ty." And so Booty's widow lost the
day, and the case remains. perhaps, as
the only judicially accepted ghost
story on record.-Londnn Chronicle.

Maori Women.

Maori women Of New Zealand know
nothing about kissing. Nose rubbing
is their form of salutation, and when
two friends meet they hold each other
by their hands, bend their heads until
their noses touch and then rub them
gently from side to side. This form
Of greeting is not confined to the wom-
en-, but is practiced by the men. They
seldom meet without rubbing noses.
In times of lamentation the Maori
women will sit for hours with thei1
noses touching and moan for the loss
Of some chief whom they have In all
probability never seen. The loss of
a brother or friend is enough to start
them off for days, all moaning and
bowling piteously. They are essen

rows Of one are the sorrows of all.
