PHYSIQUE AND HONESTY.

Dr. G.. C. Elson, medical examiner
at the University of Wisconsin, has
evolved a theory as to the relation
between physique and morals which
is not only humane. but highly sug-
gestive. Comparing the measure
ments of 1000 students who were
brought before the faculty on charges
of dishonesty with similar measure
ments OF 1000 students whose re-
cords were clear, DR.. Elson found
that every one of the accused was
physically deficient in every require
ment of the standard of qualification.
This showing strongly supports
the contention, advanced by many
psychologists, that certain moral de-
fects should be treated by cranial
surgery. Cases have been reported
in the newspapers in which surgical
operations on the Uranium were said
to have caused profound and benefi-
cent changes in the character and
disposition of the patients. Whether
moral delinquency should always De
regarded as a coalition due to physi-
cal defect is an open question. Prob
ably the average practitioner would
hardly care to go that far. But on
the principle that a sound body is
the best assurance Of sound mind,
medical science is more and more
inclined to recognize moral deficiency
as the reflex Of an unsound physiqre.

AWAKENING FROM SLEEP.

Persia, like Turkey, is awakening
from her sleep of centuries, and
aspires to reassume the position she
once occupied in the AFFAIRS of the
great world. She has n constitution
and some other modern improve
ments, but she hasn't caught up with
the times enough to provide herself
with real transportation system.
Horses and donkeys still constitute
the passenger and freight carrying
resources Of the empire which once
dominated the east. Still, Persia
has one railroad. 1t is ten miles
long, and runs from Teheran, the
capital, to the shrine of a defunct
shah. The general manager of this
road hasn't much trouble in figuring
his ton-mile costs. Strikes do not dis.
turb his slumbers. The finance COM
mittee does not bother itself with
dividend policies or bond issues, nor
does It lie awake nights wondering II
rate-regulating bills are going to pass
the Persian parliament. - Moody's

Freak Treasury Bills,

Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing, number Of
freak" notes find their way into cir
culation from time to time. Such a
one was note that once came to the
Treasury at New York. It had
the imprint of twenty-dollar note on
one side and of ten on the other
But inasmuch as the face showed the
figure twenty, $40 was the legal value
OF the bill.
In most cases the freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance Of the
bureaus officials are national bank
notes, which, like the regular Treas
ury notes, are printed there AS init
mated already, the face value is al
ways recognized when the freaks"
come to be cashed at any branch Of
the Treasury. The imprint on the
back has no lawful status whatsoever.
The notes are printed in sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are printed
one side at time. so 1t can readily
be. seen that the printer, in turning
over the sheet, might get 1t upside
down, and thus put a ten-dollar back

OPENINGS oE ElcrloN.

A careful study of contemporary
fiction, says a writer in the West
minister Gazette, shows that there
are six recognized methods of be-
ginning a story. These are:
a. The modern society opening.
(2.) The John Driveller, or testa'
mentary, opening.
(3.) The local color opening.
(4.) The detective opening.
(5.) The peaceful country house
opening.
CO. The spirited, or Gadzooks,
opening.
OF the specimens appended, the
John Drlveller opening comes closest
to the mark:

year, would fain make clear, while

YOU ALWAYS CAN TELL

People on their wedding journeys
never really conceal the fao. They
may talk and act as indfferently to
each other as they please, but the un-
familiarity of each with the tea and
coffee requirements of the other will
betray the secret to the observing,
and the topics of the conversation
between them will advertise the
fact to the most oblivious. That is
the conclusion reached by friend
of the Office Window man of the New
York Mail. "At the hotel table," he
said, 81 caught myself talking to my
bride, within earshot of other ,peo-
pie, of things that no veteran hus-
band would discourse to his wife, be-
cause she would know them already.
For example, told two or three
stories Of my childhood days. Every
seasoned wife has heard all such
stories several times, and none but
n Newlywed could repeat them"

IMPATIENT IpEALIsTs.


John Morley was known a genera
ton ago as a brilliant and audacious
sceptic in religion and radical in
politics. He has had strange ex-
per1ence. Because he had great abil-
ity and wide knowledge OF men and
things, sponsibilities have been
forced upon him, and In spite of him
self he has been drawn into the
ranks of the rulers of the nation. He
is now Viscount Morley and secre-
tary of Indian affairs, relates the
Christian Register. How could such
man be induced to accept a posi-
tion which made him responsible for
what he would have once criticised
from the outside as the tyrannical
government OF an abused people! He
accepted office with the intention Of
administering affairs according to the
principles of absolute Justice He
has done what he Could, but not all
that he hoped to do. Some recent
words Of his are instructive: 81 hope
that the government Of India, so
long as | am connected with It and
responsible for 1t TO Parliament and
to the country, will not be hurried by
the impatient idealist. The impati-
ent idealist-you know him, ] know
him. like him. have been one
myself. lie says, You admit that so
and so is right; why don't you do il
why don't you do It now?' Whether
he is an Indian idealist or a British
idealist, sympathize with him. All,
gentlemen, how many Of the most
tragic miscarriages in human history
have been due to the impatience Of
the idealist!"
