Dr. Frederick Van Eedeu. the Dutch physician and author, always kept in sight the injustice of fate that subjects the poor to tortures from which the rich are exempt. He told the following bitter little anecdote/ which occurred during his student days in ? Amsterdam: Once a poor man was brought in affected with a very strange and rare |; disease of the spiae that caused him. by involuntary spasms of the legs, to jump and to continue hopping when he tried to stand on his legs. Our professor wanted to show this to his sto.Honfc And he reauested the patient te stand on his feet The poor man looked at the crowd around and said With a pathetic, imploring look: "If the gentlemen will please not laugh." The processor promised they would be serious. , And yet when the man began to hop the "gentlemen" roared.. And I felt the tears come to my eyes and my fists close in my pockets.?World's Work. . A Greenland Duel. It is rather a pity for the gayety of nations that French men of.letters cannot fight their duels as duels are J fought in Greenland. In Greenland when one man has been insulted by ahother the adversaries each compose f v a satire in verse. This each mfcn recites to his household until the servants and the* women know it by heart Then a place of meeting is appointed. The two pen, the. insulter and Insulted, the offender and offended, stand face to face, and each recites his poem. His friends and servants form a chorus. Each man tries hard to walking up Pennsylvania avenue one day when h<* met Louis Browniow, the magazine writer. "Louis," ?iid Lewis solemnly, "listen to mo?for taree hours." "Why, wtiat's the matter?" asked Browniow. "Why," said Lewis Indignantly, "I've been In this town an day, and everybody else has been doing the talking. I do love my little conversationr Browniow went to luncheon with him and, after doing a sprint in long distance listening, pulled out bis watch with the rem?rki "Lewis, I've listen t % raise the laugh against ms adversary. Each man speaks in turn, whipping the enemy with epigram and quip, and after two hours of this wordy battle the meering gives the victory to him of the 'two adversaries who has amused the whole assembly most. / i Colorec His Sermons. "A minister tas got to be alive and resourceful today," said a deacon of a big metropolitan church. ^'Ours finds he can't speak well extemporaneously, and he reads from a typewritten copy. I never knew bow he managed to preach so effectively until one day I happened to see his manuscript Half of it was under lined in different colors. It looked so curious that 1 asked him about it "'A little scheme of mine,' he said laughingly. 'I found I was delivering 'what I had-written in the same tone. So now, early on' Sunday morning, I go over the copy I carry into the pulpit I keep cruyon pencils of six different colors on my desk. Red means one tone, green yet another, yellow and blue yet others. As I turn each page I see at a glance just how I am to speak.'"?New York Sun. t . * . -v Secret Societies. Secret societies are so ancient that nm'm'n ic inct in thp mists of the UiC-ll AW *VW A? past They existed in Egypt Persia, / India, at the earliest times with which history or leg. ad gives us any insight It seems to be natural for men to organize such societies for both . good and evil purposes. Nearly all the ancient religions were of a two faced character, pcpular and secret, or, as they are called, "esoteric" and "exoteric^ the first for the few, the initiated. the second for the rank and file. The philosophers would teach one thing to the masses of the people and another to the select few who made up the 'inner circle." Cicero tells us that the wise men of Borne and Greece believed quite differently from the common run of Greeks and Romans. A Good Listener.
