Influence of Lunar Cycle

Physical and mental alterations are
well marked in chronic invalids and in
the insane. In the case of sufferer
from heart disease. with asthmatic
symptoms, a careful record was kept
of the singularly regular lunar month
Iy attacks, The cyclic excitement OF
lunatics has also been studied by ply
sicians, and in one of the investiga-
tons it was found that 40 per cent OF
men and 46 per cent of women in 3SS
asylum patients had definite periods of
relapse.
The influence of the lunar cycle up
on the prevalence of suicide has been
observed by several investigators.
More cheerful is the evidence that the
phase of the moon affects the marriage
rate. The rhythm Of the aptitude for
mental attention is a topic Of great sig
nificance in the conduct of life.

Seeing With the Soul.

What you see with your soul helps
determine what you are. The mind
cannot contemplate visions without re-
actions The deeper the vision the
more potent the reacting influence.
Only surface men, men of the non
thinking type go through life without
moments of sober sitting at the shrine
of conscience and there weighing the
problems of life. When man sees his
power and appreciates that every UNI
used vestige detracts in multiples he
seeks to turn 1t to account. And 1t
blesses in proportion to the enthusi-
assn with which II Is advanced. The
good we do returns with greater power
when 1t is done without thought Of re-
ward. We are In the world to make the
most of IL. We must see the soul IL
we are to gather the full reward Of our
possibilities. This Is every mans
right.-Grit.

PICTURESQUE IN THEIR RUIN
Famous Old Abbeys and Priories
Abound in the English County
of Yorkshire.

When II comes to selecting the re-
rion of abbeys and priories in England
there is but one county to think Of.
That county is Yorkshire, which has
no less than % famous abbeys and
priories within its boundaries, several
of them renowned all over the world
as being the. finest and most beautiful
ruins and scenes one can possibly ex-
pect to view i'm this connection.
Twenty-Five, at least, of these beauty
spots, the ancient founders of religious
houses selected in Yorkshire centuries
ago. OF course not all those %, in
their ruins and environment, are so
amazingly beautiful and picturesque
today. Kirkstall abbey, charming as
II still appears in certain ways, is too
much overshadOwed by the smoke Of
Leeds and the murky, evil-smelling
water of the Aire. But when the old
monks first came TO this abbey, the
vale where it rested was almost surely
as delightful as Fountains wondrOus
scene is todayl However, most Of the
Yorkshire abbeys even yet retain their
pristine delightful surroundings, their
fairylike loneliness, and have thus won
a worldwide renOwn, and are visited
by tens of thousands of folk from
every quarter of the globe year by
year.

DEMOCRATS DEPEND ON ONE
MAN.
Chicago Woman Believes i'm Great
Principles Held by Republicans

Practical in politics as well as in
everything else, Mrs. George w.
Plummer, executive secretary of the
U. S. Training Corps for Women, OF
Chicago, Illinois. insists upon know
ing where she is going before
blindly following political party,
and in recent statement made
clear why her allegiance has been
given to the Republican party.
In the first place. says Mrs.
Plummer, II have confidence in the
history of the Republican party and
I believe in its principles. prefer
the Republican party to the Demo-
cratic because the Democratic party
as it now stands is party of one
man. The Democratic party has not
departed from it's old tenets, but it
seems to be party held together
by the greatness OF. one man and not
by great principles and strong men
who believe in these principles.
II believe in democracy there
should be leadership of its great
men rather than the leadership of
one man. In a democracy it is un-
safe to depend upon one man. In
an autocracy it is all right, for one
alone is held responsible for what
occurs, but in democracy we should
depend on the wisdom and opinions
of number of great men rather
than upon the individual oninions o.
one.
President Wilson is the only man
who knows where the Democratic
party is going; the others accept his
dictates and follow blindly. can
not do that; / want to know where
I'm going and what am being led
Into. I was and afh progressive; the
Republican party is progressive, its
principles are just and forward look
ing; it represents what believe in
and stand for. as I am enrolled in
its ranks"

THEATER's ORIGIN FAR BACK
May Be Traced to Festivals Held in
Honor of the Neurological
God Bacchus.

Thinking back for the origin OF any
theatrical performance, our minds nat
urally revert first to Shakespeare and
his Globe theater Some Of us would
go back little further; and many of
us would choose Moliere, the plays he
wrote and staged, often In the open,
for the vain Louis and then, in his own
theater, where, while he was the ia
vorite of the king, he was the rage OF
France.
But these were only steps In the
evolution of the theater and the play.
For the origin of all dramatic repre-
sensations we must go back to the
days of idol worship, when many gods
were thought to rule the destinies Of
man.
Two brothers, Danaus and Aegyptus,
sons of Belus, shared the throne of
Egypt. After particularly heated
quarrel Danaus, with his followers,
set sail in search of new land where
he could rule alone. They landed near
the Greek city of Argus, of which he
shortly became king.
Here, TO celebrate his good fortune,
he instituted festivals in honor of the
god Bacchus, who was supposed TO
have helped to make his undertaking
successful. These festivals consisted
of nothing more than riotous revelry,
interspersed with songs, which, after
~. Il
primitive and often coarse.
But the festivals soon became very
popular and were held periodically all
over Greece. From this beginning, in
the form Of kind of public worship,
which was the first entertainment or
performance known, evolved the the
atrical projects of later ages which de-
veloped into the institution of the
theater as we know it today,

HONOR CLAIMED BY WELSH
Writer Asserts Natives of That Coun-
try Were the First White
People in America.

In an amazingly interesting old
book, published by the author, John
Williams, Vale street, Denbigh, Wales,
in 1856, entitled Ancient and Modern
Denbigh," there appears the following
rare bit of information:
I'm A. D. 1859, Madogap Owen
Gwynedd and his followers, are said
to have left the Vale of Clwyd Tin
North Wales), and to have reached
America 800 years before Columbus
discovered that vast continent. Re-
turning, next year, they took many
more with them, and are said to have
founded a tribe of Welsh American In
dians."
England had been conquered by the
Normans in the previous century, and
the sons of the great barons William
the Conqueror had brought with him
from France were taking possession
by force of the conquered kingdom, as
they could. They were not always
successful in their little individual
wars, and good many Saxon earls
and squires held their own against
them. Especially did the Normans
have bad time trying to Dust the
ancient Britons from their property in
Wales. Ii was not until 1888 that Da-
vid. last king of the old British empire,
was defeated, and King Arthur's royal
crown was taken by the Norman-Eng-
fish, as was the Welsh relic "croes-
enydd" made of the true cross and in
closed in gold and silver, embossed
with jewels by st. Helena, the British
princess through whom it may be said
that the Norman-English became
Christian.
! The author fails to quote the docu-
mentary evidence of the discovery Of
America by the Welsh.
