ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Ancients Thought II Was Drop
of Dew From Heaven.

The Ancients Thought 1t Was a Drop
of Dew From Heaven.
No record exists or even tradition as
to the discovery of the first pearl. The
mystery of it's origin has doubtless con-
tributed in no small degree to render 1t
the prime favorite that it has ever been
in the eyes of the orientals.
From time immemorial the nations
of antiquity have used the pearl to
decorate their persons and adorn their
temples and we find many curious be-
liefs existing as to its origin. The one
most prevalent in Pliny's time was
that pearls were formed from the dews
of heaven. falling into the open shells
at breeding time, and it was In allusion
to this pretty conceit that noble Vene
tian lady named Corraro had gold
medal struck (bearing the date 1920

shell receiving the drops o. dew from
heaven which form into pearls as they
fall Tie motto was "Rore divine"

HUMAN PERSONALITY.
A Product Not of Brain or Heart, but
of the Nervous System.


To Galen is ascribed the belief that
the brain was the seat of the rational
soul, the heart the location of courage
and fear, and the liver that of love.
This distribution of the element of per-
sonality over the physical body finds
It's expression in the common speech of
today, particularly in relation to the
heart, which is widely accepted by the
popular mind as the so1rce of the more
tender emotions.
1t was chiefly through the anatomists
and psychologists of the early renais-
sance that the modern movement
which has tended to limit personality
TO the nervous system, was seriously
begun, movement which. with the In
crease of knowledge, has gained sup
port to such an extent that 1t can now
be maintained beyond any reasonable
doubt.
Human personality is in no true sense
the outcome of the non-neryous organs,
such as the digestive or the circulatory
organs. but is the direct product of the

gans OF the body. and the environment
thus provided influences profoundly its
condition and action, but acuteness or
dullness of sense, quickness or slowness
OF action, temperamental traits. such
as a gloomy or bright disposition, in
capacity. shiftlessness, honesty, thrift
ness or sweetness, are all. strictly
speaking, functions Of the nervous or
gans.
Although only the higher animals
can be said to possess personality in
this sense, traces of it occur In the
lower forms, and its evolution is in
dissolubly connected with that of the
nervous system Professor G. I'll. Par

THE COLUMBIA
BRIDGE.
To the Editor

To the Editor
was quite surprised reading
about the arguments put forth by
Mr.. B. F. Harwitz, namely "The
Colunbia Bridge not being needed
now in desolated district" then
putting a motion to recind the Co.
lumbia bridge feature of the reso-
luton.
Well of all things that sounds
like Huge Joke" Mr.. Harwitz,
how in the name of reason you
could put forth such arguments is
beyond reason of hundreds, yes,
thousands of good people who live
south of High and Main Street ex-
tending beyond Georgetown on the
west side and beyond Mt. Healthy
on the east side. And might say
censervatively the same of many
other roadways, that lead into
Hamilton, from the Southern por
ticns cf Hamilton and Butler
Co, mites, whe used the Columbia
Bridge to save long drive over
High and Main Street bridge. Mr..
Harwitz certainly did not think of
the discomforts inflicted on those
people or he would not have put
that motion. If you call that
Justice its beyond me. We GER
tainly enjoy bridge at our part of
the city, as we'll do the people who
live in the upper end of town, and
what's more we as taxpayers are
entitled to it, and naturally have a
right to hope for it, to expect it.
What howl and cry went up
until the Piling bridge got finished.
And Oh! what a comfort what a
relief for a suffering public, ho-v
hard they worked 10 save, what a
sigh of relief when it could be used
again and that same circumstance
we have with the Columbia bridge
being gone. 1t works a hardship
on many one.
Have the working people who
used the Columbia Bridge going tt
and from work no consideration
must they walk that long way tc
High and Main street, after being
tired out from a hard days work
and that in rain or snow and zero
weather? Walk that long distance
