DO HEARTS BREAK?
Human Nature the Same Despite Moa.
 ern Improvements.


 Broken hearts, so the British Inn, nal of Nursing tells us, are quite ou, of fashion. The disease has become obsolete, and two reasons are assigned for this. In the first place. We are tod that women do not fall in love as once they did. Mere children are not en. couraged to think on love and matr. mony, and then women. having come to riper years and sounder judgmen, before they decide to marry do not let themselves fall into that state which was supposed to produce cardiac rupture.
 One ventures to express the opinion that tue statement is not altOgether accurate.
 Human nature does not alter from one generation to another. People fell In love" a thousand years ago; thousand years hence they will be do- ing the same. But they wore their rue with a difference: so will those who are to succeed us The fact is we do not now wear our hearts on our sleeves, and We havr learned that f lovers prove untrue CT unworthy therp are better and more dignified ways of llamenting them than souring our ten pcrs. wasting away and allowing our l friends and relations to treat us s, derelicts.

YEAR OF ANTICIPATION

This is the particular season of the year when we are led to appreciate that in any pleasurable event planned ahhead of time there are three epochs- anticipation, realization, and retro spection- and that the greatest of these IS an ticipation We are taking our vacations, have taken them or are about to take them, for which fact, glory be- We are therefore, in one of the three epochs
 With regard to the superior claims of anticl- pation If there is anything that is more fun than throwing the portable items of your worlds goods into a suit case, looking to see if your tickets are safe, and feeling your hip pock- ct to make sure that your money is still with you, we should like to know what it is. Reaiza- ton. no matter how up to specifications it may be, is bound to be relatively pallid It must be, in the nature of things, if we are good antici- pators. If it were not, the old adage about |hitching your chariot to star would be all wrong and we do not think it is. And retrospec- ton? Well that is very nourshing thing, but lit gets stale if it is not touched up with some thing fresh now and then.
 But anticipation-the suit case stage-that' s the high spasm of the whole outfit. When you stand in the middle of torn-up room and pack what you want and leave the rest; when you ponder over how many collars you will need. and then take twice as many; when you pick from your neckties only the very best; when you figure what things you will need first for they must be left for the top layer; when you go to your top drawer and page over coiec- tion of letters, and lay them carefully behlnd everything else; when you take out your time table. run your finger down the line of numerals. and say to yourself "Now I'll be here; now I'll be here; now Fl be there, and !" step off the train. and there on the platform I'll sec

A GOULISH SHOW

The posthumous literature which addresses itself with copious persisteney to the allegation of survival of the assassin of President Lin coin has been enriched by certain disclosures made by "a member of the Memphis (Tenn.) bar" who is quoted as intending to exhibit in the east the body of John Wilkes Booth, now in the care of an undertaken at Enid, Okla The opportunity for this grewsome spectacle Is af forded by the 'fact" that Booth was not killet on the Virginia farm where he was reported to have met his death, but that he escaped and went to the southwest section, and lived there until he committed suicide in 1903 The member of the Memphis bar was the confdant of this miserable refugee, and he received the prepos terous story with gulIibilty that is hard to understand in a day when the truth of the mat ter is so readily accessible It is equally diff cult to imagine any one, in or out of official life, here who will listen to such story with seri ous countenance It is reflection upon human intelligence to expect the uncanny yarn to be believed.
 If over there were q notorious fact of history. lit is the way in which Booth met his death. Af- ter he died, his body was positively identified by several people, including the then surgeon general of the army, J. K. Barnes, who held the autopsy and officially and convincingly ind- cated the means by which the body was known Ito him. The remains were inferred for some years under the fagging of the old Arsenal in Washington and were removed finally to Green mount cemetery, in Baltimore, where they are now The only missing official record in the whole affair is that which shows where and when the body was buried at the Arsenal and by what method the remains were transferred to the keeping of the family of the assassin. Those Iproceedings were evidently conducted by or
 ders given verbally by General Hancock and President Johnson.

With Chronicles aS its authority, the Plumbers Trade Journal says thai the bathroom was an invention of King Solomon, who put it In use a thousand years before the Christian era It was sinful to enter the sanctuary unless the body was perfectly clean, and for the accommodation of priests bath tub was erected at the entrance to the temple. It was said of Solomon, He made q molten sea of ten cubts from brim to brim round fin compass and five cubits the height thereof, and line of thirty cubits did compass it roundabout" According to the meas urements. the Solonlonian tub was for. ty-6ve feet in circumference at the top and six and one-half feet deep. It rested on carved figures of oxen and was of solid brass cast in one piece decorated with floral design. Con nected with it there were ten small sinks. which were used for washing the offering.

discovery of his body are frequently circulated, and some one gains day or two of newspaper fame, as in this case, which is the more aggra- vated in form by reason of the reputed object of the discoverer. He proposes to exhibit the remains he pretends to believe are those of Wilkes Booth, in order that history may be corrected. Perhaps this interesting account IS Ia fake; but assuming that it has the merit of worthy origin, the proposition of making spec
 tacle out of such find is revoting. Moth
 ing more nauseous has been suggested in long time. History, right or wrong, needs no refor-
 nation by any such sickening process. It is hard to believe that man who has sufficient in Itelligence to be member of the bar in any state of the Union will lend his name to an absurd
 story when there are reports galore, to say noth- ing of the recollections of people living now to prove how when and where Wilkes Booth died
 and is buried.
