City Houses

The houses in the city
Are Struggled in line.
Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot,
Like soldiers tall and fine.
Their faces all look much alike;
They all dress just the same.
Each with number of the street
That gives the family name.
The folk who live in city homes
So big, SO like, so near,
Must be like brothers-are they
not?-
Who love each other dear.

A PAINTERS PARADISE.
Capri's Quaint Inn, Where Poor Artists
Can Get Free Board.

Capri. beautiful in itself, offers an
irresistible invitation to artists. since it
has an inn where any one. by painting
picture on the wall, can get free
board.
TO the lovely island of Capri. with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto
and its lemon groves, came some fifty
years ago a ruined artist. He opened
an inn and died rich. In his will, leav-
ing the inn to his heirs, he fTT,rde tirese-
conditions:
"lhe charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to be
more than 6 francs.
! IF any artist is too poor topay he
shah paint picture upon sGpel wan
space, receiving all the accommodation
accorded to those paying the highest
price.
IF any German artist shall come to
the inn he shall be accommodated and
shall receive the amount of mis- fare to
Germany upon his promising never to
return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
artist gets his fare home.-Cincinnatl

Notes About Birds.

peculiar characteristic about birds
is that the young Of those that build
nests in trees are blind when Matched,
are naked, unable TO walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad-
ing birds the young can walk, swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds. as with
higher animals, the females seem to
fancy bright coors and music; hence
Mother Nature usually ornaments the
head, neck and tails of the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
male birds usually excel in music also.

WHAT is FEAR?
A Feeling Bed on the Instinct Of Self
Preservation.


Preservation.
That well known investigator Of
psychological abstrusities, NJ. Fernando
Mazade, has attracted much attention
by discussion of the query, What
is fear!" The famous psychological
playwright, Alfred Capus, who has
dealt with the human emotion with
such fidelity in his masterpieces,
writes:
"In general, think that when there
is an accident or an illness one has not
a sufficient perception of the peril to
have the feeling of fear. Fear implies
a consciousness of danger and the re-
fusal or moral impossibility TO face it.
Fear consists in captivating to the In
stinct of self preservation
NJ. Victor Marguerite says: Fear is
n physical trouble much more than a
feeling" and can ultimately be over
come by force of will NJ. Alfred Me-
zieres of the French academy consid-
ers that fear is caused by some unex-
pected danger NJ Pouchet of the
Academy Of Medicine doubts whether
any man has ever been quite free OF
fear for himself or for others.
NJ. Sicard. who is Il professor at the
Faculty of Medicine. considers fear or
courage to be the result of tempera-
ment, training and thought. Fear can
be partially eradcated by reasoning
and educa ton, but it will never be
overcome in its most acute form
namely, the instinct Of self preserva-
ton. The conclusion is that it is far
from being unanimously admitted that
fear is ridiculous malady.-Philadel-
phia North American.
