Temperaments.

The physician of a former generation
used to talk much Of the Temperament"
of his patients, that is to say, the predom-
inant type OF physical constitution pos
SeSSed by each. He studied this perma-
nent temperament fully as carefully as he
did the disease temporarily present before
deciding upon the line Of treatment to be
adopted.
Even today, although the physician
speaks less Softemperamentsand diatheses,
and perhaps would be at a loss to tell the
names by which they were formerly des-
ignated, 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
a mixture OF two or more, being classified
rather by the one which predominates.
The first of these temperaments is the
Emphatic or phlegmatic. In this the in
dividualS are of quiet, rather inert dis
position. They move slowly, but they
move surely. They are usually depend
able people, true to their word. and faith
full to perform the duties assigned TO
them.
A second type, in many ways the direct
opposite Of the first, is the nervous tenn
perament. These persons are quick in
their movements. energetic in work and
in play, strenuous, bH often without
staying power. What they accomplish
they accomplish quickly.
The third type is the equity. sanguine,
or rheumatic The individuals OF this
group are Of florid complexion, frank and
joviaI disposition, good eaters and sleep
ers, and "never sick"; but in later life
they pay for their previous health by
gouty attacks, and when attacked by Sc
rious illness, they are likely 10 Succumb
quickly.
Persons OF the bilious temperament are
poor assimilators of food. They suffer
from intestinal indigestion, which leads
to repeated attacks Of "billiousness"
all the processes Of secretion and excre-
ton are sIuggishly performed.
The fifth temperament is the strumous.
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 firmness 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 importance
of the study and power to recognize the
five distincttemperameHts.

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

He who would build a house Tor all to see'
In honestly should dig the foundation ways
And lay the cornerstone Of love, and raise
The walls OF steadfastness; and then snouio nc
Bedeck the walls with song and poesy
And keep the fires OF sweet content ablaze;
The windows hope, the ascending gables PRAISE
And over all the roof Of charity.
Then let the tempests rage. the fires consume.
Times self is impotent TO seal the doom e
OF such house where wanderers may hnd
Carven in gold above the open portal:
Who enters here leaves hopelessness behind.
The true home is the heart, and so immortal

Woman Defends
 Questionable Plays Declares They Are the Only Means Some Persons Have of Learning of Ger tain Phases of Life.

New York, Feb. 2I.-Mrs. Helena Secor TongeS astoniShed the members of the Post Parliament Club at the Wa1dorf-AStoria yesterday by defend ing some of the so-called immoral theatrical productions.
 A general discussion of the present movement toward censorship of the drama was held, in which most of the members joined. under the leadership of Mrs. Cora Wells Trow, the presi- dent, the concenSuS of opinion being that many modern plays need modify ing before they are fit for tke pub lie.
 Mrs. Tonges, however. did not share this belief, declaring that there were many persons whose only opportunity to learn about phases of life aS they really were was to see them repro duced in plays. She asserted that she believed the infOrma tion so obtained was often beneficial.

The Mineral Jadc.

Most people have probably seen jade ornaments without having very clear idea Of the material of which such things are composed. Jade is an ex- ceedingly tough but beautiful mineral. much of which is found in China 1t is of five coIors. the most highly prized jade being the white. yellow and green varieties. The rarest of all is red jade. but this is So scarce that it has no place in market valuations. The mineral is frequently found in the beds of streams. and in searching for it MohamInedans are generally employed. as it is be Iieved that people of this faith are sen sitive to it's presence. and. like the dowsers or water finders. are affected with shuddering fits when passing over a place where jade is to be found.

M'KlNNON'S LEAGUE
 SEEKS PROTECTION

The Eastern Association of Profes- siona1 Baseball clubs, which was or ganized in Albany the latter part of last week, has made application to the National Association for protection under Class c or D. The league, of temporary secretary and treasurer is composed mostly of the old Hudson River League towns but this season will be much stronger. All the towns are, situated closely together, being somewhat similar to our Connecticut League Hugh McKinnon is manager of the Kingston team, and has already an option on the baseball grounds in that town, which are probably the fin est in any minor league city in the country. It is probable that some of the local amateurs will be given a try out with McKinnon'S team, as he did with his Allentown team of the old Union League.

Animals Clever With Their Feet.

Goats are the most sure footed Of our native animals. They can walk up- right where the average human being would not crawl. Horses are the dain- tiest treaders. however. though they cannot climb. No horse will step on a man if it can possibly help it. It is a standing rule in cavalry regiments that if q trooper is tiismounted he must remain perfectly still. when the whole column passes over him without injur- ing him. Camels are careless. on the other hand. and the man who came out unharmed from under the feet of camel corps was not born to be run over b. any beast CT vehicle.

 'sRED' WALLER IS SOME ALSO

News from the front at Marlin, Tex, brings constant reminders of the do- ings of Red Waller, late of the Bridgeports, but who now is making good with the Giants. Waller, w tn his exquisite form and hair of Titan hue. was taken for rube by the other members of the Giants. who began to make fun of him, especially Arlie Latham. who because of his form er antics on the diamond has been signed by the Giants to put life into the team in the coaching box. Waller was too strong for Arlie- In one of the games Latham yelled at "Red.'' 'I would give a dollar to see you in the Waldorf" Where do you come in to talk about a dollar" yelled back Waller. tsYou wouldn't give ten cents to see the Statue of Liberty do the Salome in the Bay" The Hal Har' from the play CTS was too much for Latham, and none of the others have since cared to start kidding the red headed 'tRube" from the wilds of Jersey City and the boy that made monkeys out of Con- necticut League batters.

 He showed three small leaves at tached to the ceiling by strings. They were without any soil or foundation, but were green. and from each there sprouted dozen or more little leaves. greener and fresher than the main leaf itself.

PRESIDENT
 URGES NAVAL
 REORGANIZATION
Sends to Congress Report of Special Commission with
 a Message.
Changes Contemplated by the Proposed Plan Elk pected to Increase Eff ciency of Naval Establish ment.

--7. Special from United Press)
 Washington, Feb. 27.-The final re- port Of the commission on naval re- organization was sent to Congress to- day by President Roosevelt in a mes sage in which he says, among other things:
 "It is in full accord with the Ameri- can policy, to re-organize the com plete supremacy of the civil power as regards the military no less than the civil or manufacturing side of naval recommended as to the bureaus or other agencies by which the purely business affairs Of the Navy depart ment are now administered.
 They are simply co-ordinated and brought under the general control of the Secretary in such manner as to secure unity of effort and action. The recommendation for the creation of the two councils, the Secretary's General Council and his Military Council. are based upon the fundamental and all essential proposition that navy exists and ought only to exist for war and war alone; for the efficiency of the navy in securing and guaranteeing peace, depends absolutely upon the evil dent efficiency for war;
 The report of the commission. which President Roosevelt says will necessi- tate another commission to make it's recommendation effective, provides among other things for the retention in it's entirety of the present bureau system but with an additional person. nel. Its powers, but not it's duties, have been curtailed. Five divisions are recommended, under the Secretary and Assistant Secretary. as follows:
 First division, in charge of civilian and having supervision of yards and docks, etc Second division, chief ef the division of naval operations also principal military adviser to the Secre- tary and to be a flag officer
