Tom Ware was seated alone over
his breakfast. He had left his bed
as the pale morning light crept across
the great fields that were alike his
pride and his despair-what was the

an impossibility! he was about TO

Ware.

SEVERE ON GIRLS IN PERSIA
From Hour Of Birth Social inequality
Between Sexes Asserts ltself-
Cellbacy Disgrace.

The birth Of girl in Persia is re-
ceived with pity, even by her mother
why should not weep over my lit
tie girl, who will have to endure the
same miseries as have known" she
cries. "She is of so little value! Who
knows whether her father will not one
day throw her out of the window and
go silence forever her wailing? And
why should he be annoyed? He knows
he may do such thing with impunity.
No one cares any more than If 1t was
cat which had to suffer for his

From the hour of birth the social
inequality between the sexes asserts
itself. Infant mortality is very high.
owing to the ignorance and inexperi-
ence Of the women. Since celibacy
is considered disgrace. girls are Of
ten married as young as ten or twelve.
In order to reduce the rate of infant
mortality some men have suggested
that the mother should have a finger
cut of every time she lost a child.
This cruelty, however, has not been
adopted. But that 1t should have en-.
tered into the minds of any Persian
men is significant enough.-Je Sails

Senses Of Plants.

The sense most developed in plants
is that of sight, which enables them to
see light but not to distinguish objects.
This sense limitation is found among
many living creatures, such as the
earthworm, oyster, and coral, ETC.,
which possess no localized visual or.
gan, but give proof of their luminous
Impressions by the contractions that
they manifest when exposed to a ray
of sunshine. Similarly, it is easy to
gauge the influence of light on plants.
Cultivate plant in a room with a
window only on one side and it's stalks
in growing will incline toward the
source Of light. Psychologists explain
this by suggesting that the side to the
dark grows more quickly than that ex.
posed to the light. There remains.
however, the fact, that the plant has
reacted to the light, of whose effect 1t
was conscious.
A sense common to many plants is
that Of touch. OF this the most illus
trative example is, as its name i'm.
plies, the sensitive plant. Another
leaf, responsive to the touch, is the
catch-fy, whose two halves close down
one upon the other by means Of
central hinge.-Tiarper's Weekly.

FIND RELIEF IN CONFESSION
making q Clean Breast Of II" Has
Saved Many Man and Woman
From Insanity.

The relief of making "a clean breast
OF it," Who of us is there who has
not experienced It? II we have done
something which we consider shame
full or degrading or horrible we find
that we are suffering until we can tell
1t all to some one else, comments a
magazine writer. The murderer. to
take an extreme instance, is narrowed
and crazed by his crime lin many
cases) until he has confessed all.
whereupon he finds measure Of relief
and Is more ready to meet his doom.
1t Is with the mind, as with the body;
II you take a poison into your body
you suffer until the poison Is drained
on; If you take poison into your
mind you suffer until 1t is extirpated.
Or to put 1t differently physical
wound refuses to heal until the poison
Is cleaned out, and the longer you wait
the worse the poison becomes, until
possibly, 1t threatens your life. 1t Is
just so with the wounds of the mind.
and In extreme cases, where there is
no relief, the poison becomes 80 bad
that 1t endangers the reason, leads to
insanity.
Some of the insane are merely suf-
fering from some terrible experience,
some shock, some emotional impact,
which they never shared with others;
which they locked up in their breasts;
which grew steadily worse until 1t
transformed their whole nature. Why
Is 1t that so often a man living alone
In some shack out on the prairie. or
some woman alone in farmhouse, be-
comes insane? 1t IL simply because
there is no outlet for the emotions,
for the shocks and worries, the fears
and terrors, mo one to tell 1t to-"
A curious fact is that we are trou-
bled not SO much by the things we
remember" as by the things we have
forgotten" the things slowed care
fully away in the unconscious part Of
the mind. We go through some
shameful experience which we feel Is
too distasteful, too degrading, to tell
any one else, we try to forget It; we
succeed; In time. But there 1t is, un-
derneath, like hidden poison, working
on us whenever 1t gets chance. try
ing always to break through, to come
into the light
But insanity, after all, is not al
ways the outcome; bad nerves, neuras-
thenia, unrest, unhappiness, are the
more common finalities. We see all
about us people who are leading
manned and crippled lives, quarrel
some. bitter, detected, nervously in a
flutter. The trouble with many Of
them is that they have never had COM
plete expression for their painful ex-
periences; they are chock-full of the
mental poison of the past

Give Credit to suspenders.

Notice what a difference the first
nip Of cool weather makes in the car
riage of most men?" prominent ply.
sician asked the other day. "See how
their shoulders are thrown back, their
chins thrust forward and the general
elasticity Of their step?" Yes, I've
noticed It," his companion replied.
"Cold weather certainly braces man
up" You are right there" the doc.
tor replied, "but there is something
that plays more important part than
the mere fact that the. air is cold.
What? Suspenders? Yes, sir! Soon
as the weather gets cool man wears
vest. That means that he lays his
belt aside and resorts to suspenders.
No man can walk erect and with that
air Of alterness without them. The rea.
son is simple. The natural way to
walk is with the chest thrown out and
the allowance drawn in. When a man
wears a belt he cannot do that because
his trousers will stink down and he
will be very uncomfortable generally.
When his trousers are suspended from
his shoulders he can walk naturally"
