Everyday Psychology
Rotary Personalities.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Some people are so constituted that
they tend to split, to fly to pieces, when
confronted with difficult situation.
These are the So-called schizoids.
In contrast with the splitting sort
of temperament is the So-called
cyclothymic temperament. Cyclothymic
literally implies emotions running IN
circle. One mood quickly succeeds an
other. Cyclothynic people rotate or
swing backward and forward between
fits of melancholy and fits Of excite
ment, depending on the way things 60
In everyday life you call them moody
people. You never plan business en-
gagement with them until you f1rst
find out what their mood is for the time
being.
Merely as a general observation, one
may say that the rotary type belongs
to the. So-called extrovert type OF per-
sonality. An extrovert is little too
sensitive to the various pressures brought
to bear upon him from his surround
ings. This Is by no means faulty pre-
disposition. In fact, the worlds great
men have frequently been just that sort.
Abraham Lincoln seems, as we look back
to his life and times, to have had
marked fits Of the blues and just as well
marked fits Of elation.
Personality. like almost everything
else, tends to run TO extremes. It's the
extremes really that attract attention
and make biographies worth recording;
The rotary type. when 1t gets well into
the swing, when 1t readily turns from
one phase to- the other, develops its
own peculiar mental illnesses and makes
its own Embellishments. The rotaters
have a way Of creating their own
problems.
Out of clear sky they as often as
not get themselves into hot water with
their associates and neighbors. They
do lot of gossiping. make lot Of fuss,
inject themselves into everything that
goes on. whether or not the affair is any
real concern of theirs. They are then
in the excited stage.
AS the pendulum swings to the OPP
posite phase, they become silent. They
brood over their own deficiency, which
Is largely matter of inability to stick
to their own, affairs. They imagine ills
they cannot possibly have, and even
sometimes hear imaginary voices and
accusations.

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 81, lS61.-Sturges' Rifle Corps,
which acted as Gen. McClellsn's body
guard through his recent campaign IN
Western Virginia, is now In this city
and Is attracting a great deal OF atterl-
ton. The corps numbers 100 men,
armed with Shapes breech-loadins
rifles and saber bayonets. They, were
enrolled in Chicago for the duration OF
the war.
The corps is named for Solomon
Sturges, wealthy banker Of Chicago,
who donated the company'S entire out
fit at q cost of $4,000. The tents are
OF the Crimean pattern and are the
best in use. The officers tent Is used
by Gen. Mcclellan. and the Chicago
soldiers are around him all the time.
They are all very fond of Mcclellan and
are said to be ready to give their lives
at any time to keep him from harm.
Their uniforms are the neateSt in the
city. One uniform is dark gray and
they have fatigue uniform of cordu-
roy. The corps is accompanied by the
champion drummer. who was with Ellis
vorths zouaves on their tour OF til"
United States.
The activity noticeable in every de-
partment Of the arsenal here shows
that the Government Is preparing to
prosecute the war with vigor. The en-
frances and carriageWays are blocked
every day with Army wagons, carts and
other vehicles, heavily loaded with
arms for the regiments here, provisions
for the Army. shells on the way to be
filled and all the requisites Of war.
Splendid parks of rifled cannon, from
10 to 20 Founders, ornament the lawns.
Huge guns lie on the wharves and in
the shops ready to be mounted. From
the shops comes continual tattoo OF
hammers and buzz of saws.
Rif1ed and round shells, grape. CAMS
ter, shrapnel, mimic and pistol balls III
immense quantities roll out ready fol-
their mission of death under the ma
nipulation of many hands. Bright guns
are mounted daily upon their wheels
and turn their dark mouths toward the
blue hills on the Virginia side Of the
river. A constant stream of muskets,
rifles and bayonets pours in and out
Of the spacious armories.
The Regulars who formerly guarded
the entrances to the arsenal have been
assigned to other duties. This respon-
sibility has now fallen to Company A,
Capt. Moffett Of the 26th Pennsylvania
Regiment.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE BENEVOLENT AUTHOR.
BY MARK TWAIN.

mark Twain, 1ss5-1s1o. whose real name
was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was ar
American humorist author Of "A Connecti-
cut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, 'Ad-
Finn" etc)
All my life, from boyhood up, have
had the habit of reading a certain set
of anecdotes, written in the quaint
vein of the worlds ingenious fabulist
for the lesson they taught me and the
pleasure they gave me They lay al
ways convenient to my hand, and when
ever thought meanly Of my kind ]
turned TO them, and they banished that
sentiment whenever I felt myself to
be selfish, sordid and ignoble, turned
to them, and they told me what to do
to win back my Self-reSpect Many
times wished that the charming anec-
dotes had not stopped with their happy
climaxes but had continued the pleas
ing history of the several bel-ofactors
and beneficiarieS.
This wish rose in my breast so per-
sistently that at last 1 determined to
satisfy 1t by seeking out the SeQuels
OF those anecdotes myself So I set
about it, and after great labor and
tedious research, accomplished my task.
This fable of THE Benevolent Author"
is the result of some of my labers, with
the sequel as I gathered it through
my Investigations.
A poor and young literary beginner
had tried in vain to get his manuscripts
accepted. At last when the horrors of
starvation were staring him in the
face, he laid his sad case before a cele-
brated author, beSeeching his counsel
and assistance. This generous man i'm
mediately put aside his own matters
and proceeded to peruse one Of the
despised manuscripts.
Having completed his kindly task,
the celebrated author shook the poor
young man cordially by the hand, say
again to me on Monday"
At the time specified, the celebrated
author, with o sweet smile, but saying
nothing, spread open a magazine which
was damp from the press What was
the poor young mans establishment to
discover upon the printed page his
own article.
"How can T ever" said he, falling
upon his knees and bursting into tears,
testify my GRATITUDE for this noble
conduct"
The celebrated author was the re-
nowned Snodgrass the poor young be-
ginner thus rescued from obscurity and
starvation was the afterward equally
renowned Snagsby. Let this pleasing
incident admonish us to turn a chart
table ear to all beginners that need
help.
The sequel now follows:
The next week Snagsby was back
with five rejected manuscripts. The
celebrated author was q little SUR
prised, because, in the books, the young
struggler had needed but one lift, ap-
parently. However, he plowed through
those papers, removing unnecessary
flowers and digging up some acres of
adjective stumps, and then succeeded
In getting two of the articles accepted.
A week or so drifted by, and the
grateful Snagsby arrived with another
cargo. The celebrated author had felt
a mighty glow of satisfaction within
himself the first time he had success
fully befriended the poor young strug-
gler, and had compared himself with
the generous people In the books with
high qualification; but he was beginning

A Sermon for Today
If We Were Less Suspicious.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

IL we were Less suspicious.
Text: But the princes of the children
Of Anmon said to Hanum, 'Thinkest
thou that David doth honor thy father
that he hath sent comforters? Are not
his servants come unto thee for to
search, and to overthrow, and to spy
out the land Il Chron. 1873.
David had no thought Of harm to the
children of Ammon. Their King
Nahash, had just died, and David's SER
wants were sent in good faith to COM
fort his son and successor, Hanum. But
they were held in suspicion OF being
spies and subjected to the basest sort
of indignitieS. The consequence was a
bitter war, resulting in great destruc-
ton of property and life.
History is Uttered with accounts OF
wars that grew out of suspicion. In
fact, groundless suspicion accounts for
most wars. If nations would cease be-
ing suspicious of one another, the dawn
of universal peace would be at hand.
Suspicion brings on wars between
families and individuals, as well as ma
tons We would be amazed II we
could know how much Of the strife
that curses human society springs from
unwarranted suspicion.
Suspicion Is always and everywhere
an enemy to peace. It Is an enemy to
all happy human relationships. We
have seen homes shattered, neighbor.
hoods torn assunder, churches and
business concerns disrupted, and when
we looked for the cause found nothing
but baseless suspicion at the bottom OF
the whole trouble.
I have traced so many suspicious and
found them to be without foundation,
that am becoming less and less In
clined to give any credence to suspi-
cions hear about people. Ittwould be
a mighty fine rule for us all to adopt,
not to believe evil Of anybody until we
are forced to do so.
We would spare lot of trouble both
for ourselves and others, If we were less
SlISpiciouS.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 81
Screen and stage personalities are get
ting all mixed up in the colony.
Once a legitimate star has made a
successful movie, the gelatin gentry take
him or her to their heart. Before that
success Is established in cinematics the
notable (regardless Of how much fame he
may have had on the stage) just hasn't
made good.
So making good in Hollywood is COM
ing through with local success.
Anne Harding, who has had an envi-
able career. on the legitimate stage, is
not one of the boulevard lights here.
She keeps strictly to her work, and
for her hours away from the studio
finds no difficulty in altering together
a group of people from the East Coast
who have long been her friends.
Just at present she has established a
Hollywood precedent by refusing to
have her hair curled.
This quite radical departure from
established form in the motion picture
ritual was at first regarded as mutiny
Studio officials and beauticianS and de-
Signers pleaded and implored. They
tried to convince the lovely lady that
sex appeal Is largely established with
curling tongs.
Their supplications fell on deaf ears
Anne Harding was quite willing to have
her hair arranged in any way suitable
for her part-in three different and
bizarre ways, to be exact. But all three
different and bizarre ways must be
accomplished without the aid of a curl
ing iron. It's a brave stand to take.

My Neighbor Says:

If you grow mint in your gar
den, boil a spray of it for 20
minutes in your apple jelly, then
remove. It will flavor but not
color the jelly. Use vegetable
coloring to give mint jelly its
green color.
To protect stockings so that

These may be purchased in the

was given to the countess for delivery
