Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man of this age ever
deliberately chose to adopt "trou-
sers." He was forced into them and
all other eccentricities of dress by
women. In the very earliest sar-
torial experience he is swathed in
queer bundle Of incoherent band
ages by a woman. Later she puts
him in cute dresses so that the
neighbors can't tell him from his
little sister. Still later she cuts off
his curls and puts him in knicker-
bockers, and he puts on long pants
when she gives the word, not before.
That is all that man has to do
with wearing trousers. Women
forced him into them in the first
place, and now he is afraid to wear
anything else for fear of making a
standardization (Mo.) Democrat.

Black Diamonds.

Black diamonds are pure carbon
and yet in no outward appearance
resemble the diamonds which we
are accustomed to wear as orna-
ments. They are slightly harder
than the crystal or gem diamonds
and, in fact, about the hardest sub
stance known. Black diamonds or
carbons are among the greatest
curiosities Of the mineral kingdom.
They are without crystalline form
and are found in irregular pieces
ranging In size from half carat to
300, 400 or 500 carats. They are
dark gray, black or brownish in col
or and Opaque. The real diamond
of the jewelry trade is also pure car
bon, but translucent and crystalline
in form. Two objects SO alike in
composition, says George E. Walsh
in the Scientific American, could
not be found 50 opposite in appear
ance as these two forms Of carbon.

Pride In the Home

"There was a man here today"
says the helpful wife to the brutal
husband, "and he just made me an
cry with his insinuating remarks
about our furniture and things. He
claimed that he knew you and that
he had asked you about how our
home is furnished, and he actually
insisted that you said that we didn't
have over 5000 worth of things in
the whole house. Why, ] Just told
him that we have one rug which is
worth that much alone and that our
piano cost 81, 900 last month and
showed him all our cut glass and
jeWelry and pictures and things and
convinced him that we have 5000

ARCTIC MADNESS.
PiystericaI Lunacy That Attacks the
Eskimos and Their DOCS.


EsI<imos and Their Dogs.
There is a form Of arctic mad
ness called piblokto, which Peary
described in Hampton's Magazine in
telling Of the wait through the long
arctic night from the time the
Roosevelt was stalled In the ice I'M
til the coming of the dawn and the
dash for the pole. To keep the men
from brooding In the unaccustomed
dark each was given heavy burden
of work to accomplish.
Aside from rheumatism and bron-
chial troubles, the Eskimos are fair
" healthy, but the adults are sub
ject to peculiar nervous affection
which they call piblokto-a form of
hysteria. Personally / have never
known child to have piblokto, !"
says Mr.. Peary. "Some one among
the Eskimos would have an attack
every day or two, and one day there
we're five cases. The immediate
cause is hard to trace, though I
believe it is generally a brooding
over absent or dead relatives or a
fear of the future. The manifesta-
tions Of this disorder are somewhat
startling.
s'The patient, usually a woman,
begins to scream and tear off and
destroy her clothing. II on the
ship she will walk up and down the
deck, screaming and gesticulating
and generally in a state of nudity,
though the thermometer may be in
the minus forties. As the intensity
of the attack increases she will
sometimes leap over the rail on to
the ice, running perhaps half a
mile. The attack may last few
minutes or an hour or more, and
some become so crazy that they
would stay out there, running about
on the ice in state of nudity until
they froze to death, if they were
not forcibly brought back.
"When an Eskimo is attacked
with piblokto indoors nobody pays
much attention unless the patient
should reach for knife or attempt
to injure some one. The attack
usually ends in a fit of weeping, and
when the patient quiets down the
eyes are bloodshot, the pulse high
and the whole body trembling for
an hour or so afterward.
ssThe well known madness among
the Eskimo dogs is also called pib-
lokto. Though it does not seem to
be infectious, the manifestations
are similar to those of hydrophobia.
Dogs suffering from piblokto are
usually shot, and they are often
eaten by the Eskimos."
