HUMAN PERSONALITY.
A Produot Not of Bruin or ? Heart, but
of tho Norvous 8y?ttm.
To Qilieii is ascribed the belief (hut

soul, the heart (ho location of courago
and f ?*u and (he liver (but of love
This distribution of the element of per
sonality over tho physical body lluds
Its expression hi the common speech of
today, particularly In relution to (ho
heart, which la widely accepted tyy .the
popular mind as tho source of (he uiore
tender emotlouu.
It wiih t-hlelly through the anatomists
and physiologies of the early renals

! which lias tended to limit personality
; to the nervous system, was seriously
begun, a movement which, with tho ton

Human personality Is in no true t?ensi>
tiie outcome of tho pon-nervous organs,
such u?\ the digestive or (he circulatory
organs, hut Is the direct product, of (ho
nervous system. This system, to l>e

of action, tempera mental trails, 'such
as a gloomy or bright disposition, in

ness or sweetness, a,ro all, strictly
speaking, functions of the nervous or
gans.
Although only the higher animals
i can be said to possess personality in
.this sense, traces of it occur in the
lower forms, and Its evolution is in
distjolubly connected with that or th6"
nervous system.- Professor Ci. H. Par

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Ancients' Thought It Wn a Drop
C\ of Dew From Heaven.
No record exists or oven tradition as
to the discovery of the first pearl. The
mystery of its origin has doubtless con
tributed In no small degree to render it
the prime favorite that it has ever been
in the eyes of the orientals.
From time immemorial the nations
of antiquity have used the pearl to
decorate their persona and adorn their j
temples and we find many curious be
liefs existing as to Its origin. The one
most prevalent la? Pliny's time was
that pearls were formed from the dews
of heaven, falling Into the open shells
at breeding time, and It was In allusion
to tills pretty conceit that a noble Vene
tian lady named Coriaro had a gold
medal struck (bearing the date W20>
^ on the reverse side of which is an open
shell receiving the drops of dew from
heaven which form into pearls as they
fall. The motto was "Uore dlvlno"
(by the divine dew).
in these more practical but less poetic
days the generally accepted theory Is
that some foreign substance, possibly
even a grain of sand, having by acci
dent entered the shell of the oyster, a
certain amount of Irritation is induced
which causes the exudation of, a pearly
secretion . (known as nacre), and this
effectually covers up the intruder, and
also that with the growth of the oyster
the pearl Increases in size.
The pearl, unlike nil other gemB, re
quires no assistance from man to en
hance Its value, or from art to add one
iota to its perfect loveliness.? National
Magazine.
Mourning Smokes.
Speaking of the old "church warden"
or "yard of clay" pipes, it may not bo
known that in the remoter country
districts of Lancashire the "church
warden" figures prominently at fu
nerals. On the return of the mourners
to the late home of the deceased a box
of "long clays" is unsealed and the
pipes handed to the male members of
tho company, who. ringed before the
fire, indulge in the memories of old
days called forth by the occasion. The
circle of long clay pipes, with the cir
cling clouds of smoke, harmonize well
with the solemn suits of black and tho
subdued dignity of the company. At
breaking up the pipes are snapped In
significance that the occasion for their
use is ended.? London Chronicle.

AUDREY EQUAL TO OCCASION i
Hard to Refrain From Admiring In
genuity of This Little Wash
ington Girl.
Audrey wan thirteen, but a big girl
for l???r ago, according to the Washing
toii Herald. Yet she whh Htlll a child
in hei absorbing taste fur sweet*. Not '
far from her homo the food show,
which lt> held annually in Wauhlng
ton. wns going on, and tho i<iea that
thoro wore |m?uih1h of cakes, Jellies and
chocolates ull ready to be ?*hI?h o?cu

wended her way to school pant the
building. Thia preoccupation of
thought renultod in arithmetic in
which four quarts equaled one yard,
and Napoleon cfOiHod the Rubicon on
tho ice in history lesson^ Hut Aud
rey wan a modern girl, and uoou found
a way out of her trouble.
Saturday she decided to put her plan
into execution. Mother had gone to
work at tho t moony, and Audrey was
monarch of all she surveyed literally.
8be could not get into the food show
without being accompanied by an
adult Now, adults in such cnsoB be
ing regarded iih necessary evilb, tho
girl determined to be oho herself for
the occasion. '?
Down at tho ten-cent store she
bought a diamond ring and a smaller
one of plain gold. Then Hhe hied homo,
arrayed herself in her mother's b?Bt
Biiit,. put on a picture hat with a big
veil and went to tho food show. The
doorkeeper paatsed her in unnoticed in
the crowd of others streaming in, for
tho figure seemed that of a short wom
an. inside, Audrey did her duty. There
was not a bit of food in the house she
did not sample, nor a Cftko nor candy
of which she did not bring away speci

HOW TANGO HAS TAKEN HOLD
Seems That Everybody Who Dances
at All Must Get That Fashion
able Fancy.
"Afterward we'll all go to the thea
ter and see tango and trotter. We hear
they have Home new stepB and llgureB
for both the tango and the hesitation.
We simply must learn them."
This followed the invitation to din
ner and-is a recent phase of the dan-^
cing madness. It is an intermezzo only,
after dinner dancing, either at homo
or at one of the popular resorts, 1b
imperative. It is not wholly bad form,
however, to take one or two nightB off
weekly ? counting Sundays ? provided
the time thus Btolen from the dance is
devoted to picking up new steps and
new ti^ures.
Cabarets or theaters are the only
places these may be acquired cheaply
if one is an adept. Dancing masters
are so overworked teaching rudiments
that they have no time for ? refine
ments. So theater managers with a
pair of good dancers on the bill are
suro of a crowd in the front Beats. You
take the guests at your dinner along
so they may enjoy the novelties of
fered.
Then the visitors steal the steps.
They aro rewarded the following eve
ning by being for a brief hour, at leaBt,

If Ancient Celebrities Returned.
Queen Elizabeth had just signed
Queen Mary's death warrant.
"There," she said to Mary, "1
wouldn't do this for any one but a
cousin. It will take 30 years to get
your case through the supreme court,
and think how your book will sell."
Spartacus was beginning his ad
dress to hiB gladiators.
"Ye call me chief, and ye do well
to call me chief," he began.
"Hurry up, hurry up, get some ac
tion," yelled the moving-picture opera
tor. "This film costs five cents a
foot."

tho last swallow.

friend; "but if you're a real spender,

Would Penetrate the Earth.
One of the most ingenious projects
for harnessing the forces of nature is
that conceived by Sir William Ram
say, and, despite its daring aature, it
has been well received in high sci
entific circles.
His plan is to take tho heat of the
earth's interior by means of huge bore
holes. These shafts would be sunk
deep into tho earth so that they pene
trated into large coal seams. By
means of electricity this coal would
be fired until it burned like some
wonderful infernal furnace. By means
of pipes the gas given off by this
burning coal would be conveyed to
the surface and in various ways util
ized for power purposes.
The advantage of this scheme is
that power could be derived from coal
as it lay in its natural element, and
tho cost of mining it and bringing it
up to the surface would be avoided.
Jack London Eata Raw Flah.
Not so long ago Jack London was
lunching with friends in Philadelphia.
When . tho fish course arrived he
caused a semi-panic among the wait
ers by asking that his fish be served
entirely raw.
The novelist ate it that way with
much relish, telling his friends that
compared with a cooked fish, tho raw
article was Just as delicious as a raw
oyster or a clam.
Mr. London has been among the
Hawaiians enough to have acquired
the raw flah habit
