The QonkeX's Head.

Among the most extraordinary pieces
of symbolism known to have been used
by the early Asiatics was figure OF q
donkey's head used as q representative
of the deity. There is no doubt what
ever that the same emblem was once
used among the Hittites, the Egyptians
and one or two other nations as a SYM
Dol of their red god, Sut. The super
stition Of the yellow donkey Of India,
the story of the swift ass Of eastern
Asia and the ass Of Dionysius and
many other marvellous ass stories are
all survivals of that curious form OF
religious worship the alteration Of the
ass head.

M0ZART'S UNTIMELY END.
Sad Finish Of the Career Of the Great
Musical Genius.

Late hours, unwearied yigils, ever
lasting labor, the effects of chills, damp
and exposure, in the hard life he led
a life alternating between brilliant
passages and the most loathsome
drudgery, between rosy anticipations
Of fortune and inevitable and eternal
isappointments-had their effects on
the vigorous constitution of Mozart.
His lamp of life burnt out untimely.
While still a young man-only thirty
five years old-he fell into Ill health,
the symptoms of which were fitful,
restless nervousness, a craving for in
ordinate excitement and rapid decay
of the physical stamina of his consti-
tuition.
Unfortunately for him, in the ab-
sence of any strong influence at home
which might keep him in the path OF
duty, he was tempted to seek recrea-
ton abroad and fell into the company
of a dissipated set of men, haunters
of the theaters and taverns of Vienna,
the chief spirit of whom was one
Schikaneder, a low, coarse man of nei-
ther refinement nor talent. In COM
pany with this crew the glorious gen
ius, whose critical state of health de-
manded the utmost care and attention
from loving hands, fitted night after
night from tavern to tavern in Vienna,
deluding himself with vice under the
idea that he was gathering the secret
spirit Of brotherhood for use in his
opera, "The Magic Flute" on which
he at that time was engaged.-Row'

posers."

KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
This Partisan 6eesar Realized the
Value of New Shoes.


Begging has long been great art in
Europe. BY using subtle touches Of
misery and calculated effects of dis
ease and dismemberment the beggar
became n master Of pathetic appeal.
A delightful story Of Dupre, the sculp-
tor, is quoted by Hamilton ". Mabie
in the Outlook.
Looking out of his window In n ho-
tel one bleak wintry morning in the
good old times, Dupre saw an old beg
gar sitting barefooted on the stone
steps below. His heart was moved
with compassion. and he began to
search for a pair of shoes. He found
two pairs, one Of them new.
do not give the new pair away;
you will need them YOURSELF" urged
his prudent wife.
NO" said the sculptor. II shall find
the old pair more comfortable. More
over. If am to give anything away
I am going to give the best l have"
So he hurried downstairs and put the
new shoes In the hands Of the bare
footed old man. The next morning the
beggar sat on the steps as usual, and,
as usual, his feet were bare. Dupre
hurried down to him. "Where are the
shoes | gave you? You are not wear
ing them," he said.
NO" replied the old man, Il could
not wear them, excellency. II l did
nobody would give me anything. !

ORIGIN or AN EXPRESSION.

one tutuN& NNe To-
We frequently hear the expression,
IF the court knows itself. and 1t
thinks II does" but few persons are
aware of the origin thereof,
The individual who gave birth TO II
was a Pike county Missourian named
Blackburn. who tiourished In the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when he was a mere boy
and sought his fortune In the west,
where he grew to manhood as an In
dian fighter, hunter, trapper and
mountain guide Although not an ed.
ueated man. he was possessed Of great
acumen, TO which was united keen
wit, when gold was discovered In
California. Blackburn was one Of the
first to proceed thither, The miners
as sort of joke elected him alcalde,
an office that combined the duties Of
mayor and justice Of the peace. The
first case coming before the new al
calde was that of gambler who while
drunk had ridden his horse over a
young Mexican woman. She was seri-
ously injured.
The trial took place in the largest
cabin in the neighhorhood, The gam
bier, who was rich, had retained able
counsel to defend him, Alcade Black
burn called the young woman TO the
witness stand. She told straight
forward. honest story. When she had
finished the alcalde peremptorily end
ed the trial The attorney for the de-
fendant protested vigorously, but the
alcalde disposed Of his protest thus;
'If this court knows herself, and she
thinks she do, l fine you $500 damages
and assess upon you the cost Of putin
this young woman in good condition"
When asked what he meant by
good condition" the alcalde replied
that the gambler must pay the doctors
bills and all other costs of the young
woman's sickness.

CURING BAD HABITS.
Try q Little Self Hypnetism on Yeur
Pet Weaknesses

Pet weaknesses.
In large eastern city Is profess
sional hypnotlst who has wide repu,
tatlon for curing the habit OF intem-
perance. His method Is dirt simple.
There is no real hypnotism about It
unless 1t is matter of self hypno-
tism," this professor once said. Il
simply observe the mind process Of the
man that drinks and advise him how
TO reverse it The subconscious solil-
oquy in the mind Of the man that
drinks runs something like this:
When did | have my last ballr
Whew. Long as that! don't see how
| stood it so long. wouldn't have
thought It possible And so on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as it is necessary TO
heap coal on TO fire to keep 1t from
burning out. In word, that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief that
be needs a drink.
"My advice to cure this craving Is
not TO fight the appetite, but to fight
down the cause that leads to the ap-
petite. Let a man repeat to himself
over and over again: L really don't
need this drink. II take 1t, it's sim
ply matter of pouring so much down
my throat superfuously, for could
get along without Before long he
will be surprised how instead of hyp-
nothing himself into drink he will
hypnotize himself out Of It."
Simple, isn't it? But II this self
hypnotism or whatever you choose to
call it is cure for intemperance why
is it not equally a recipe for curing
other bad habits s?-Chicago Tribune.
