HARD WORK ON THE NERVES
Afflicted Husbands Tell of Strain In
volved in Rubbing Cat’s Fur
2. i the Right Way.
“At last,” remarked the long-suf
fering husband of the zealous liter
ary dabbler, “I have found the magic
Way of telling my wife she is crazy
Without making her angry or bring
ing the roof down on my own head.
I can tell her right to her face, now,
and she takes it and smiles and never
even hands me a sarcastic come-back,
the way she used to when we were
first married.”
“Really, you don’t say so! Row
-do you do it?” anxiously inquired
the husband of the lady-doctor next
door.
“Well, when she gets on one of her
erratic tantrums and begins to tap
her foot and say unladylike things
to me, I just look at her rather sym
pathetically and say, ‘You know,
dear, all geniuses are more or less
crazy.’ It pleases her so much to
be called a genius ihat she takes the
rest like a sugar-coated pill and
calms right down. It surely does
take tact and finesse to handle a nerv
ous woman and keep the domestic
cyclones shooed away.” And the
long-suffering husband gave a sigh
lof one who has traveled the weary
’road of actuality.
“Yes,” agreed the mate of the
woman physician, “it does take tact.
I am losing all my personality under
the strain of it, for what else is tact
the habitual courtesy of rubbing
the cat’s fur the right way!”
HER WAY OF DOING IT

“I hope, my dear, you followed
rny advice and exercised due care
in the selection of the presents you
purchased for your friends.”
“Indeed I did, dear. L bought only
the things with which they gave
double quantity of trading stamps.”
BERGSON AND THE PRESS.
From the interviews with Prof.
Henri Bergson, it appears that when
the eminent French philosopher ar
rived in New York harbor his ship
was boarded by the .newspaper men,
who asked him for his views on at
least the following subjects: Laugh
ter, American philosophers, syndi
calism, Colonel Roosevelt, Governor
Wilson, the Balkan war, seasickness
and woman suffrage. There must
have been minor topics brought for
ward by the ship news men which
Professor Bergson contented himself
■with dismissing in a word or two or
with a smile. But the list we have
given is sufficient to demonstrate
how completely the New York re
porter vindicates Professor Berg
son’s theories of a purposeless, spon
taneous creative force, that formu
lates its questions as it goes along.
GOTHAM “JUSTICE.”
Nathan Garelik, a grocer at 206
East Ninety-ninth street, was held
•without bail in Harlem court today
on the charge of carrying a con
cealed weapon.
Garelik said he was awakened by
men trying to enter his store, and
flashed a revolver on them.
When the police came they arrest
ed Garelik. The burglar suspects
disappeared.
“I sympathize with you,” said the
magistrate, “but your case is out
of my jurisdiction.” —News Item in
New York Mail.
NERVOUS BOSTON PIGEONS.
“Did you ever stop to reflect how
it is that the tame pigeons on the
common start so at the report of a
bursting automobile tire?” asks an
observant friends of the Looker-On.
••They are not afraid of people, and
neither they nor their parents, prob
ably, have ever known the meaning
of a rifle shot by experience, but the
old instinct to fly from rhe hunter
is transmitted by the mother tn the
voung, and hence the flocking to
trees when a tire bursts.”—Boston
Evening Transcript.
PUTS HIS SOUL IN PICTURE
Japanese Artist Gets Spirit in Work
That It May Be Given Again
to Beholder.
The safety of the nation seems to
be fairly well taken care of, but if
there is one thing more than another
which needs a master’s care, that one
thing is art, especially futurist art.
America has not quite decided about
futurist art. We are never sure
whether a thing is good until we
know what we are supposed to think
of it. The newspapers have ridiculed
the futurist art and common people
have dared laugh at it. Frankly, of
course, Americans prefer good plain
pictures that don’t even require the
catalogue for identification, but one
is inclined to think that in art as
in poetry there must be soul in ob
scurity because wp cannot see it.
If it were possible we might trans
plant Japanese art. The something
besides itself in a Japanese picture
is really visible, and soul helps sense
as much as sense helps soul. Japan
ese art, however, grew from the old
art of Chinese writing. The Chinese
believed that written characters
lived, and not only spelled words,
but expressed various sentiments in
themselves. The Japanese artist cre
ates a living thing. He puts his
spirit into his painting so that it
may bp given again to the beholder.
If he accepts money for his paint
ings they lose their soul. Japanese
art is, therefore, impossible to Amer
ica. An art that grew from our
writing would be worse than futur
ist. If our artists were not paid for
their pictures we should have no art
ists. Perhaps the best we can do,
if we must get aw r ay from our own
common sense plain pictures, is to
take up something along the futur
ist line. We may not enjoy it and it
may spoil the wall paper, but it may
be the proper thing after all.

EVENING OF CHANGES.
Turned into a wake and after
wards into the celebration of a birth,
a wedding feast near Tralee, Count
ry Kerry, Ireland, had a peculiar
outcome. While a merry party was
in the height of the enjoyment of the
wedding feast of one of the mem
bers of the household the guests
were shocked to learn of the death of
a two-year-old child who had been
ill for some time, but not seriously.
The wedding party then resolved it
self into a wake, the traces of the
festival being removed. While the
wake was in progress it was an
nounced that a birth had just taken
place in the house, the mother being
a near relative of the family.
HEARD AT THE CLUB.
Griggs—l'm sorry about Brown’s
failure. He’s a brick if ever there
was one.

that he should go to the wall.—

“That cook’s temper will break up
our home.”
“Its already started in on the
crockery.”
NO WALKING FOR HIM.
“What walk in life has your son
attempted ?”
“No walk at all; he’s in the auto
business.”
HIS RIGHT.
“That speaker says he has a right
to have the floor.”
“Why so?”
“Because he is a carpet dealer.”
WRONG TEMPERATURE.
“Miss Jones acted so queerly about
that proposed trip to the tropics.”
“How did she act queerly?”
“She was so cold about it.”
TRAINED to rear children
Branch of Nursing Which Has to Do
With Care of Infants Now a
Profession.
I
The branch of nursing which has
I to do with the carp of little children
i was? inaugurated as a profession in
■ England about twenty years ago, the
I Norland institute in London having
. the honor of being the pioneer train
ing school of the kind.
The Nursery college curriculum
includes, besides 1 nursery manage
ment, domestic work, hygiene and
needlework. Os the one year re
quired to complete the training at
i the Norland institute, thirteen weeks
are spent in one of the London chil
dren’s hospitals, three months in
practical nursing, and the remaining
time at institutional work.
Children of from one month up to
I nine years of age are admitted at the
Norland institute. These children
are, for the most part, the children
of officers in the foreign serviW< |
widows, colonials, trustees, guafd
; ians, people of the theatrical pro
i session. The need of such an insti
( tute was the raison d’etre of its
birth.
To those interested in nursery life
a visit to the Norland institute is in
spirational. Besides the college,
i with its nurseries, its lecture hall, its
workroom, where the uniforms are
made and other interesting studies,
there is the Norland Seaside nurs
eries at Bognor, where the children
under the charge of the institute
i may go for rest and change.—Chria

MATRON STARTLED GUEST
Gives Vivid Description of Tarking
ton’s Abominable Behavior at a
Luncheon.
“Booth Tarkington, now that he
has returned to novel writing, is
more celebrated and more beloved
i than ever. At the same time—”
. The speaker, a magazine editor,
I chuckled and resumed: “Imagine
i my horror when, at a tea at the Col
’ ony club in Madison avenue, I heard
. a young matron, a very pretty and
I elegant young matron, say:
| “ ‘Tarkington behaved so abomi-
nably at my luncheon! After the
J oysters he suddenly took a dislike to
i the butler and the two serving maids,
iHe actually flew at them. He
i wouldn’t let them come near the
• table. If they ventured to try, he
I growled dreadfully.
j “ 'But there was a platter of cold
quail on the sideboard that hap
pened to catch Tark’s eye. He seized
two of the birds and stalked sullen
i ly off with them to the drawing
room, where he ate them, seated on
the floor. He left the bones scat
tered all over our best Kirmanshah
rug. Did you ever hear of anything
so awful ?”
Here the magazine editor laughed
again.
“It took me a minute or two to
graps the fact,” he explained, “that
this charming lady had named her
dog Tarkington in honor of our
prose master.”
LUNATICS RUN AMUCK.
One person was killed and nine
others seriously injured by five terri
fied maniacs released by firemen
from an insane asylum in the out
skirts of Elvas, Portugal.
Altogether thirty-five lunatics
were set free because of fire in the
asylum. They rushed howling
through the streets for some time.
Thirty of them were easily gathered
in the municipal building, but the
other five secured some iron bars
from a scrap heap, and attacked ev
ery one they met. Several hours
passed before they were overpowered.
CONDITIONAL.
“Do you think that taking ways
are hereditary?”
“Certainly, if kleptomania is in
the family.”
MOSTLY MEN, EVIDENTLY.
Rix—Has your wife many speak
ing acquaintances?
Dix—Not very many; they are
nearly all listening ones.
EVERLASTING PROBLEM.
“When we are married we are go
ing to have half a dozen servants.”
“Huh! I’ve had that many a
month some months.”
MISAPPREHENSION.
Friend (appreciatively) Your
son touched me lately.
Father (apprehensively) For
how much?
