It may tained by foreign elements; that the love ; : learning, though the principal motive, of has been the only one; that it has not been adulterated by others, that is, desire for position, influence, riches, fame, glory, in short, ambition under its mani- fold aspects, It is not easy to find absolutely pure cases, for besides the rarity of the intellectual passion the terms in which the demand is framed are aimost contradictory, since the men we want to find must be unknownto fame. The following instance, however, seems to me to answer perfectly to all the conditions. Deseuret gives a brief biographical sketch of a Hun- garian named Meutelli, a philologist and mathematician, who, without a definite end in view, simply for the pleasure of learning and to satisfy his intellectual cravings, consecrated his whole life to study, having apparently no other want. Mentelli saved the price of washing by wearing no linen. A sgoldier’s coat bought at the barracks and only replaced in thelast extremity, a pair of Nankeen trousers, a fur cap, and huge slippers composed his entire x seers δε Ἷξ costume. In 1814 the cannonballs fell all around the lodging, but failed to disturb him. He lived thus uncomplaining, indeed happily, for 30 years without a day’s idleness. At last at the age of 60, haying gone, as usual, to fetch water from the Seine, his foot slipped, he fell into the river and was drowned. Mentelli left no work behind him, in fact, there remains no trace of his long researches. Other instances might be quoted, but they would appear trifling by comparison with this. Great anonymous collaborations like those of the Benedictines certainly have enlisted the services of enthusiasts of this kind; thus Dom Mabillon was the » type of worker animated with passionate fervor, modest, unknown, punctually fulfilling his religious duties, and when free from these, traveling about the world on foot to collect historical documents, Thus we find cases where the love of knowledge alone, untarnished by other motives, has all the characteristics of a fixed and tenacious passion, filling the whole life; and expressing the whole nature of a man. The brain in the course of its development, that is, up till the fiftieth year in the L ing average man, may at some point or other yi Is develop a malformation which will have the effect of destroying the ratiocinative or reasoning faculty. Like paresis, of which mendacity is a kindred disease, it may come upon the most truthful and the least suspecting man without a moment’s warning, and just as the result of a sudden “kink” occurring in the cerebral structure. By DR. PIERON, French Expert. Lying is not by any means a monopoly of women and children. The male grownup, even if he does not naturally evince the tendency to exaggerate or invent—a certain indication of degeneracy— is alwaysliable to become a victim of the lying habit. The natural and spontaneous liar who has reached maturity lies because he is physically or mentally still an infant, and can neither exercise any powerof criticism either subjectively or objectively, and is wholly devoid of reasoning as to the effect his lies produce upon his hearers or upon their objects. He will lie maliciously, just as recklessly or as easily as he lies spontaneously or simply, the result being incalculable as far as he is concerned. The so-called harmless liar differs only in a slight degree from the malicious or brutal liar who lies for motives of revenge, jealousy or cruelty. The physical malformation is almost identical in both cases, the Actually a Disease difference being only one of morbidity and a more diseased condition of the nervecells which produces the state of hysteria, of which lying is perhaps the most pronounced symptom. Lying of this kind is,therefore, a disease, and must be so accounted. Nevertheless the existence of such beings in’ the world should be noted by the health authorities, since they are so easily influenced by unscrupulous persons. Coney Island of the West.

Not long ago the charges of theft were so frequent in my room that I tried to stop this universal earrying of money. I asked the mothers not to give their children money during school hours, except in cases where it was really needed to buy luncheon, Many of them promised to cut off the allowance, but the small coins continued to circulate just the same. A few mothers declared that they gave the children money for safe keeping. I learned that one girl in my class came to school day after day with from $20 to $30 pinned in her clothes. The father spent everything he could lay his hands on, and as the little girl’s garments were the only place where he could never find the money she was converted into the »4 family bank.” The plan seemed to work, so far as the spendthrift father was concerned, but it worried the teacher.

They have about 50 or 60 kid gloves at the ticket office down at Union station, gray suedes, undressed kids— every old kind. But the trouble is that among them all there is not one pair, They are all odd gloves, mostly “lefts.” You see most men carrytheir money in their left-hand pockets, and when they're buying railroad tickets, they take off the left glove. Then when they go away and leave the glove the boys in the ticket office are no better off than if they had left nothing behind but an air of mystery. “It’s surprising, too,” they say at the ticket office, “how many men have one or two fingers riesing. Out of the lot of old gloves now there, a dozen or more have at least one finger gone. The ticket sellers watch for men who have. fingers missing and try to match them up with gloves that correspond. With that exception, most of the gloves go to waste— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Some People. Some people hunt for work in about the same way that an optimist hunts for trouble. Mountains of Iron Ore.

The health board of Washington, N.

The pre-cooked potato is a plural potato, Mr. Wheeler says. That is, three plants go into its making, one of them being, of course, the Irish potato. Whether the other two are the tomato plant and a_ stove is not known. The brain is stunned in contem plating the golden days that will fol low when the already cooked potato is a-growing on the vine.

When arrested several members of the band confessed that they had been specially recruited for this excursion into French territory by a Spaniard named Vicento Rubio y Alvarez, who made a profession of organizing such pilgrimages. Each evening they turned over to bim their daily collections. Rubio himself was able to escape. In the wagon which he used as his headquarters was found over 1,000 franes in small coins. There were also numerous postal receipts for various sums, which had been sent in his name to banks in Spain.

Maxwell, who has been working with Proulx since 1905, owned a third interest in three of the claims. Proulx began working on the property in 1898, and until Maxwell joined him three years ago, he did all the pick and drill work, as well as firing the blasts to uncover the ore body. During this time he cut a tunnel of 250 feet, striking the ledge at a depth of 120 feet. The ore is free milling and carries high values of gold.
