big step toward confidence in your
self.
Out of such periods of discour-
agement comes the realization of a
need for change. We are able to
"see ourselves as others see us. p
We then see our weaknesses in
NOR vivid light. We perceive more
clearly what we must do to be
what we want to be.
We are made humble. and hu-
mility is the father of dependability
and work, upon which true self
confidence is always based.
The fact of encouragement shows
that you have ideals and are tax.
ing them seriously.
1t indicates a desire to be better
than you are-the first step in
character growth.
Such periods of self-dissatisfac.
tion are of the highest value il you
use them to plan how to strengthen
your weaknesses.
1t is continual dissatisfaction
which like rust eats away en-
deavor.
Dissatisfaction with self is al
most always a precursor of progress.

OVER LIES HURDLES
New Machine Can Test Ones Soul.
BY LOUIS E. BISCH
Copyright. 1875. Premier Syndicate, Inc.

Measurement of the emotions has
never been made accurate, but there
is an instrument designed for the
purpose that accomplishes it in n
broad and rough way. 1t is called
the psychometer, or emotion galyano-
meter.
An ordinary galvanometer-which
Is an instrument that measures the
strength Of electrical currents-is
usually constructed with dial and
indicator upon which one may read
the amount of electricity passing
through the apparatus.
The emotion galvanometer is con-
structed upon the same principles
except that a vertical mirror, sus-
pended at top and bottom by fine
wire, and rotating in a vertical
plane, is so arranged as to re-
fleet a ball of light (from an cleo
trio light bulb placed at the side)
upon a screen in front and about
a dozen feet from the instrument.
Now, when an ordinary galvano-
meter is used, the electricity passes
into the instrument through one wire
or pole, then through the indicator,
then out again through a second
wire or pole. The two wires are, of
course, connected with whatever mo-
tor or generator is manufacturing
the electricity.
But in measuring the emotions no

Have you ever felt as whittier
describes in the following words:
"For myself alone, I doubt,
All il well. I know, without,
/ alone the music jar,
! alone the beauty mar"
If you have it is a good sign.
1t is a sign you are growing.
What growing pains are to the
body, fits of encouragement are to
character.
1t is all very well to talk of hav-
ing supreme confidence in yourself,
but such confidence is unwarranted
until you have shown yourself
worthy of it.
Self-confidence, like most of the
other great qualities Of human char
acter, is cumulative.
1t does not suddenly come to a
man out of clear sky, but is
built up step by step.
1t does not soar on wings of sud-
den realization. but climbs slowly
on the ladder of little things-lit-
tie things wherein man proves to
himself that he is WORTH Of con-
fidence.
And strangely enough, discour-
agement with yourself is often a

THEOLOGY AND RELIGION
By RABBI SAMUEL MARKS

the value of wealth. of position, of
every thing else in this world a
premium is set upon honesty, in
tegrity, sobriety, and virtue. There
is nothing stronger than faith, purer
than. virtue. warmer than love, nor
more enduring than hope. These
things will live and grow until pure
and undefiled religion shall be shed
abroad in every heart.
What we are in need of at this
monet is mistaken faith; faith in
self, faith in God and mans soul,
faith in virtue, faith In eternal JUS
ticc, and faith in ideals and life
eternal. With these mankind rose
to the divine dignity of godlike man
hood. Without them it is bound to
sink until earth will be a hunting
ground and man the most voracious
beast in creation.
This is the state OF being the
evolutionist terms the struggle for
existence" for, like his God, his
man is a creature produced by
blind-rulins agents, devoid of will,
choice, or any higher attribute. 1t is
no more the man of a sky-begotten
soul, free will. ideal dreams, and
heavenly hopes, but it is the apes
descendant, born Of necessity, and
yielding to necessity, hopeless, god
less, aimless. a worm among
worms, with just enough reason
to make misery still more miser-
able.
That is why pessimism reached
the conclusion that the only thing
man ought to do, and will ultimate
ly do, is to commit suicide.

electrical force Of any kind comes
in contact with the machine. The
two wires leading from the instru-
ment each terminate with a copper
plate. Each copper plate is placed
on table and the individual whose
emotions are to be tested places the
palm of each hand upon one of the
plates.
When the subject is attached to
the psychometer and you tell him
story or anything that arouses his
emotions the mirror begins to rotate
and the ball of light on the screen
swings Backwards and forwards in
wide excursions. The more emo.
tional be becomes, the wider the ex.
cursions get.
How does it work? Well, the
emotional force is not identical with
electricity, but it is something like
it. When we experience emotions
even II our facial play docs no.
reveal it--something akin to elce.
tricity is manufactured in the swca,
glands, and it is this which is tap
ped by the copper plates and trans.
mitted through the galvanometer.
The psychometer has been EN-
ployed in police work as a means Of
detection, but it is not very reliable.
It's a fascinating instrument, how
ever. It's our nearest approach, so
far, to a soul mschine.

FIGURES OF SPEECH
"To Throw a Main. {"

"Murdercrs, in their own opinion,
are different" says an English
writer: "they cannot blunder; their
wits are far superior to any that
may be brought against them, and
so in a spirit of self-complacency
they throw a main with Fate"
We get the expression, ito throw
a main" from the old dice game Of
hazard. which was similar to the
modern game of craps" There
we're many forms Of hazard, the
simplest being that in which two

Sometimes they are fortunate and
turn their popularity to good &C
county. At other times, not.
Others, born without these quail
tiles, strive TO cultivate them for
no other purpose than to gain the
pleasures and rewards Of popular
ity. Are such attempts worth
while?
Political popularity is, of course,
rarely worth striving for. The best
men-tbat is to say, the men of
.he highest intelligence and the
finest character in every community
do not go in for practical politics.
If they did, they would either be
unpopular or would lose the fine
ness of their character.
There are, Of course, exceptions
to most rules. But, IL you take a
painstaking survey of the political
field in this country over period
Of years, you will find that the
most popular public official was
usually inefficient.
1t is difficult TO perform your
duty, though the heavens fall" TO
remain true to every trust imposed
upon you and to exercise justice
and economy without the slightest
regard to public opinion and, at
the same time, achieve popularity.
In social life, a person not gifted
by nature with those charming
traits that attract others. as a mag
net attracts steel, usually gains
popularity by the sacrifice of other
qualities. Usually it is self-respect
that goes by the board.
To submit to being bored, to
listen to lies or misstatements, or
gossip or scandal, or, what is per-
haps worst of all, the ordinary
piffle of modern soclety--to put up
with this for no other purpose than
to be pleasant and achieve popu-
larity, when you really know bet
ter-well, it may make the I'M
thinking believe that you are a
fine person but, in tho long run,
It is pretty sure to make you think
that you are a foolish hypocrite.
Do not bother about popularity.
Be as courteous and as kind and
as pleasant and as tactful as you
can to all whom you meet. But
do it for no other purpose than
a duty which you owe to yourself
and your own development. If, be-
yond that, popularity depends upon
a sacrifice, give up popularity. 1t
is really not worth while.
Besides, il rarely lasts long.
