And between those two, it
largely depends on which side

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
The Measurers.

Psychological measurement Is no
longer mere academic property or
plaything The public is, becoming in
terested. One of my readers would like
to know just what it is that the aca6e-
micianS are able to test and measure
To answer this question completely
would require small book. Therefore
I simply name those that occur to me
at the moment.
There is, first of all, a measuring
stick for general intelligence This is
the best known, the one that claims
first place in popular Imagination. The
idea was Matched in France Just about
80 years ago Across the border IN
Germany a lot of work has been done
on measuring what are known as "inte-
grated personalities" 1t is recognized
that some individuals are the same from
day to day Others behave as If they
were different persons from day to day.
A third interesting line Of measure
ment is devoted to opinions Here's
where politics and government show
UP. Office seekers have always counted
own way. Now the academicians are
going into details which give much
promise. Predictability is becoming a
science
Fourthly mention the movement to
measure moral sentiment" This Is
one of the latest. Perhaps the most use
full in the long run. Lastly I call at
tention to the measurement of the i'm
preston" which one person makes on
another. This is an old "rule-of-
thumb" measurement, which is now
being reduced to a science.

ment was put up. setting forth the
reason and how the boil Weevil indi-
| rectly was glorified.
This species Is a native Of Central
America, spreading through Mexico and
| entering Texas about 1890. Since that
| time the insect has been CT very
| inquiring mind and eager to see how
many States grow her favorite food.
There are as many fathers as mothers
! in this family. This is unusual in the
/ insect family. The fathers feed upon
the boil until it is too spoiled for
edible purposes. then they move TO the
next boil. Dining hours are from am
TO pm. and unless actually faced
! with starvation, the weevils will not
! touch anything else.
| The mother, in the early part of the
season, Is able to find an unoccupied
| boil in which to lay her single egg.
| Later on, when housing becomes
crowded. several mothers will make use
OF the same boil.
1t has been carefully estimated. by
an authority. that one pair of weevtls,
| welded in the early Summer. will have
l2,755, 100, descendants by Autumn. OF
course, this would mean a season Of un-
Fortunately, these pests are extremely
| sensitive to weather conditions. A cold
| wind or rain causes many to meet an
! early death from exposure and cold.
The cradle made for the baby is q
wee niche eaten into the fruit by the
mother. In three days the egg matches,
and the offspring begins to feed at once.
From to u days later, the youngst-
passes into the next stage Of his exist
ence which corresponds to the cocoon
Of the moth or butterfly. This stage
lasts from three to five days and an
adult weevil strolls out Of the plant.
If the Weevil is a male he will feed
upon the squares and bolls close at
hand until they are unfit for food. The
females eat into the fruit. This, as you
see, is quite efficient. The same amount
of energy, consumed in biting into the
fruit for her own food, is in the mean
time following out nursery for her
future infant.
AS long as there are enough squares
present the bolls are not damaged,
and they have a fair chance to develop
as long as squares are being formed.
AS far as it is known the cotton
boil Weevil will not breed in any other
plant than the cultivated cotton and
the wild variety in Arizona.
Only the adult weevils can stand the
rigorS of Winter With the first in
dication of that season, go the weevils
en- masse for protection. They fly in
every direction, though the prevailing
winds help them along. Hedges. woods,
hayStackS corn fields and buildings
offer them refuge. In the South. where
Spanish moss hangs in great festoons
on the trees. many boil weevils hasten
to this shelter. During the Winter
food is taken. but on sunny days they
take little exercise.
The migration from their Winter
quarters does not take place until warm
weather is an assured fact and food in
abundance awaiting them.

Wishing Others a Happy Year
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

activities to another. thereby eliminat..
ing monotony. To the person occupied
constantly with doing the same thing
day in and day out as means OF live
lihood, this life has a warranted appeal.
And to most normal persons, an occa-
sional slice of such diversity reacts to a
certain amount of JOY.
In sharp contrast to this existence
and this type Of happiness is the sort
which comes from peace of mind. 1t
has little or nothing to do with enter
tainments. 1t proceeds from knowl-
edge of doing what is right and of hay
ing kindly thoughts toward those of
ones family and those outside of it. 1t
has a foundation in the mind and the
spirit which refuse to dwell on disturb
ing happenings, but turn to thoughts of
whatsoever things are good, pure and of
good report. 1t is a stabilizing kind of
happiness.
When persons wish us a happy new
year, 1t may well set us thinking which
kind OF happiness is our choice for 1894,
and what kind of happy new year we
are wishing others. and whether we can
do anything to help them have our wish
come to pass.

Uncommon Sense
Better Than Seem
BY JOHN BLAKE,
BY JOHN BLAKE.

~ NE of the curses of this race of
ours is thOrOughneSS. We pay
little attention to these
~ around us. We see and read
OF distress. but II it does not
touch us. We feel sorry for a few MIN
utes, and then forget it
Only when the mlSfOrtuneS of others
are borne in powerfully upon us do We
do anything about It. Then. let II be
said to our credit, we wake up.
When the newspa pers bring to us
stories OF widespread disaster, the pub
lie always responds generously. When
some writer stirs us up with a story
of abuses of inmates in aSylums, we
make a great row, and presently the
abuses end. But to the misery that
lies at our doors We pay very little at
tention. Not because We are brutal or
hard hearted
ANY one seeing a child hit on the
street by car would instantly run to
his aid, and do all in his power to
find the needless driver and bring him
to justice. If We could learn that the
family next door had no coal in the
cellar and nothing to eat. We would find
means to give help. What We see with
our own eyes We fix on our attention.
What we do not see, we pass over as
just something in the days news which
does not particularly concern us.
1 believe that If the people of a ma
ton would give more thought to those
who are less fortunate, a great deal of
unnecessary suffering could be ayerted.
And / believe that real joys come to
those who, during a hard season, do a
little more for the unfortunate than
they have been accustomed to do
There is an unusual amount of suf-
fering about, and a great deal Of it
can be relieved. 1t Will be worth while
for everybody to assist
x X
There are a great many hopeless peo-
pie who can be made happy without
hurting those who confer the happi-
ness upon them. Look up a family or
so, and see If you can't bring cheer and
hopefulness to them. A real awak-
ening of fairly weIl-Off people to what
they can do for others would prove a
miracle of helpfulness, and would re-
quire so little trouble that it is hardly
worth mentioning
We're better, as a race, than we
seem when We read our own history.
The trouble with us is that We don't
look out the window enough.
