ALL DREAD HARMLESS MOUSE
instructive Fear Of Women ls Well
Known, but Is Not at Al
Easy 70 Explain.

Once more there Is excuse for ask
ing how much of sincerity there is In
the fear OF mice to which so many
women give such vehement express
sion. A night telephone operator
over in Jersey saw one OF the little
creatures steal out on the floor of the
room in which she was keeping her
lonely vigil, and, though his attack
was not on her, but on the crumbs Of
her luncheon, she promptly tainted.
On recovery she rushed into the closet,
where she was imprisoned till morn
ing by the spring catch on the hastily
slammed door.
Yet this young woman, like all 9TH
ers. knows that mice are perfectly
harmless; that they never did hurt
anybody and never will.
The wicked suggestion has been
made that feminine outcries on the
appearance Of mice are a mere fash
ion or habit, inveterate now, but origi-
mating in nothing better than desire
to show an interesting sensitiveness
and timidity and to give rescuing man
chance to show his superiority.
There must be something more to 1t
than that, however. for not a few
women, even when quite alone, as this
one was, manifest almost convincing
indications OF this. perhaps not the
less real because so unnecessary.
Apparently the fear is instructive,
but nothing in ancestral history ex-
plains the instinct, since in the line
of mothers running back through the
troglodytes to merely anthropoid for
bears, never a one was devoured by
mouse and not more than half dozen
in all can have been bitten by one.
And instincts are not so easily made.

On a cold night how comfortable II
IS to sit in reverie before the leaping,
fantastic flames of a wood fire! One
enters the chilly solitude of a room
and by the tiny magic wand OF q
burning match-presto, change! one
calls into existence the cheerful So

They dance upon the wall like fairies
in the moonlight on a midsummer
eve; they are here, there and every
where; we are alone no longer.
In the warmth and light of a wood
fre-cozy, snug and sheltered-let us
not forget those who are outside In

FROM DOCTRINE OF GALEN
Use of Term "Man Of Spirit" Etc.
May BE Traced Back to the Sec
ond Century.

Few persons even stop to consider
when they speak Of a man of spirit
that they are unwittingly employing
the language Of the days of Galen,"
says the Journal of the American
Medical association. "Yet this is evil
IDENTIFY the survival of the old doctrine
OF spirits. We may believe that Galen
had a conception Of the nerve trunks
as conductors of something-he called
1t spirits-to and from the brain and
spinal cord.
THE natural spirits were that I'M
defined property which gave to blood
the capacity of nourishing the tissues
of the body. The vital spirits were
acquired in the heart, and when at
last the blood with its vital spirits
went to the brain and experienced a
sort of refinement for the last time,
the animal spirits were separated
from 1t and carried to the body by
the nerve trunks"
Such was the idea of the vital func-
lions In the second century. Today,
after 1900 years, we know that there
are no Spirits" In our blood or nerves.
but we still speak of being In high
spirits" or low spirits" of being full
of animal spirits" of a spirited an
swer" or a Spirited horse"

Moles a Real Pest.

Hitherto moles have been tolerat-
ed in our gardens in spite OF the raw
ages that they make on the lawns
and in the flower beds, because Of
the belief that they fed upon the IN
sects that destroy the plants. II
Xavier Raspall, the French naturalist,
is to be credited, we shall have to
give up this idea. for he says that
moles eat nothing but earth worms
and an occasional grub of harmless
beetle.
Every one knows how valuable the
worms are, for the holes they make
permit the air to permeate the soil.
Therefore the mole may be regarded
as an enemy and not a friend of the
gardener.

In 1904 he fought a memorable battle with Rebel at Am sterdam over the matter of socialist pol icy Three years later he crossed swords With Clemenceau, then premier of Trance. Later, he fiercely fought Briand ever the question of the latter's man. asement of the railway strike. And to- day he I evidently shaping for a glori- ous fight with vivianI, the newly ap- pointed premier, despite his socialist af- filiations, on the subject of the three years army service law.
 When Jaures stands up to do battle he is a splendid figure, the admiration of all who see him. Read the following pen picture of the socialist leader by a British member of Parliament:
 T have heard Gladstone and Dillon and Chamberlain; but I have never heard or seen anything like those two and a half hours in which Jaures held that great assembly, Now speaking in a whis- per, of which every syllable could be dis now raging, his whole body swinging with the noise, now leaning for ward to the prime minister in the most engaging irony of politeness, he taught one to understand Mriabeau and the French Revolution"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-07-12

But it must not be thought from this that Jaures belongs to that section of the socialist party which believes it's busi- ness is to refuse office under every cir constance. The French socialists like the German and the English, are divided into two camps on this question. But Jaures believes in a very active give and take between his party and the radi- cal-socialists or similar parties with dis tinct leanings towards the left. In fact, on this question, Jaures fought one of his greatest battles with Jules Guesde, the leader of the revolutionary section of his party, and won.
 Jaures is the hardest worker in French parliamentary circles. If you wish to do business with him you must be out of bed early and make your way with haste to little red brick house in the Avenue des Chalets There, in room on the second floor, with rows upon rows of books looking down upon you and pen and marked tonnes staring at you from every table and shelf and most of the available chairs, Jaures greets you with hand-shake that would do justice to Frank Gotch and heartiness that places you at once at your ease In this room he writes his daily article, the principle feature of his paper, 'L'Humanite," some days running to almost three thousand words, prepares the speeches which never fail to fill the red benches of the Cham Der of Deputies with an admiring audi ence, and plans his political campaigns.
 An examination of Jaures' bookshelyes will prove to you what everybody who has ever heard him speak or who has ever talked with him for five minutes knows. He is man of the very widest culture. Indeed, he took the highest honors at school and spent two years as professor. Later, when the fortunes of political warfare tossed him out of the chamber for four years, he took his degree at the Sorbonne, specializing in philosophy.
 For, although Jaures is a socialist he belongs, like so many of the men who in both France and Germany lead the adherents of socialism to the professional class. He was born 55 years ago in the department of Tarn of well-to-do parents Thus, like most of the men who in one way and another rule France today, he is southerner. After leaving school he turned to teaching at Toulouse, but after two years he could not resist the political call. His views were then more

 UphOlding the Bill of Rights
 The bill of rights cost a great deal of blood; it was a thing which our fore fathers fought for; it cannot become out of date and impractical unless we agree to it's destruction by indirect attack All the questions which relate to the bill of rights in recent times have, of course. arisen in connection with one class onlv- working people, mostly foreigners, suf fering from economic pressure and dis tress on American soil Unless We are agreed that 1t is possible to Mexicanize America by having a constitution which Is name rather than reality to a peon class, we must take sides in favor of the bill of rights when it's protec- tion is denied to any class under any conditions.
 It Is to be hoped that the commission on industrial relations will throughout it's investigations bear the bill of rights clear ly in mind and will be able to report to us as a people the extent. if any. by which that charter of liberties has been nullified or overruled or cast aside d1r- ing the industrial disputes of recent years No part of it's work can be of any greater value, as l see it, than this It is to ba hoped that that work will be done thor orghly and impartially.
