Personality.

The two great obstacles to the
Healthy development Of personality
pre- jealousy and fear, and they are MS
high ind terrible in business M in
any other department Of llfc's actlvi-
flies. So long as a man harbors envy
for any n Of his fellows, more es-
pccially his competitor In business,
90 long will he be devoid Of that elixir
which personality advertises. Being
Jealous Of some other man does not
harm the other man; 1t only Injuries
the Jealous mi And II the Jealousy
be openly expressed, the extent Of tho
damage Increases, whilst the object
of the envy receives al addition Of
benefit and value for himself through
the gratuIt0us advertisement. A man
occupied In envylng another is using
power which he could better apply
for his own Observation-Disclosures.

The man who Is horn blind develsps
his other senses TO a degree that seems
almcst ancanny to sighted people. says
a writer In London Tft-Bits. HIS
hearing forms q Of the principal
channels through which he obtains
knowledge Of what is taking place
around him. The slightest variation In
sound conveys 4 wealth Of informa-
ton 10 him. because he learns to as
sociate these sounds with their origin
and the manner In which they are pro-
duced. For shape and texture he de-
eends upon his touch. and the touch
of q man who has never had sight IL
wonderfully sensitive and delicate. To
find his way about he depends upon his
sense Of direction and obstacle, which
have become highly developed owing
to the fact that he has always been
entirely dependent upon them. For
that part ef his education which can
be derived from books he depends on
Brallle.

Dead" DEFENDANTS Plea.

Judicia! s~kepticism to a marked de.
gree is shown in The opinion in Free
man VS.. Frank. 10 Abb, Pr. IN. ".
$40, in which the court makes the fol-
lowing answer:
"The fact that the defendant has an.
swere|i, though by attorney. shows he
is neither civilly or physically dead. 1t
is conclusive that he is living. and not
under any disability that prevents him
defending the action. The defendant.
by answering, proves he is alive; and
when he AYERS In his answer that he
Is dead, he is not to be believed. The
answer, therefore, contains two con-
Trajectory %nvcrnents. ono Of which Ia
judgment of law Is Il fiction. II the
defendant was dead. he could not an
swer. Hence the averment that he is
civilly dead must be deemed untrue"

Has Two "Mermaids,"

]. y, Smith, a Spaniard, residing in
Hamilton, Ont, possesses two crea-
lures that are probably unique. He
considers them to be mernaids.
Though these are described as "fah-
led or 'flctitious" creatures in the
dictionaries, those of Mr.. Smith have
heats shaped like those Of human be-
ings and bodies that are distinctly
iisi-like. One is much lager than the
ntiler, and is considered TO be the
mother, and rcckoned to be 300 years
old. Both have fine hair like n human
being, and Il small mustache and
beard. The head Is attached to a hu"
man,like neck which merges into the
tislt-like body. and the arms are like
those of Il monkey, only that the
fingers are wehhed. IT is said that the
"nlermaids" were found In the wreck
Of n ship in the Arabian sea.
