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 g i A II Y KggW Iwx “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. POETIC REALISM I Li w. /W' W PwHFv i I I ' “Yes; I have pictured my sweet heart in my verses.” “Oh! does she limp?” 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. Briggs —Then it is not unnatural that he should go to the wall.— PART OF IT. “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 : tian Herald. »» —.— 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.
