MAN'S TWO MINOS.
Ta Make an Evenly Balanced Ptnon
Both Mutt bo Ueed.
Expounding it theory that man has
two minds, or a double consciousness?
objectlvt and subjective Mgr. Benson
luiK compared the two act'vlt)o* to an
' ii|>|N*r and a lower room separated hy
a trapdoor.- Dreams nro duo to tho
| subjective consciousness working with
: out check from tho objective conscious
j Dttil,
The man who usually claims to have
an evenly balanced mtud In the one
I who bus shut tho trapdoor ajul re*
| mainH iu tho upper room, and those who
! have cloHed the trapdoor and remain
1 In the lower rooms are commonly
j found iu lunatic asylums.
Tho man of really even balance either
remains between the two rooms or
i keeps the trapdoor well oiled.
Napoleon, iu the lower room, con
i reived ideas for ruling Europe and In
! the upper room put his ideas into prac
j tire; Raphael created combinations of
! colors and then expressed them oncan
j vas, and Beethoven in the lower room
I composed his sonatas and iu the upper
: room reproduced the notes on paper.
The events of childhood are remark
ably clear iu the recollection of very
old people, though present happenings
are forgotten. This may be explained
, by the decay of the objective conscious
; aess, and it is curious that as this de
cays the subjective consciousness be
comes more acute.? New York Press.
SHORT CIRCUITS.
Mission of the Fuee When the Wires
Become Crossed.
"Another short circuit!"
One of the cotutuonest reports heard
' in ail electrical works/
. A "short circuit'^-HtCTins that the elee^
trie wires have become crossed or
connected so as to form a bypath or
shunt of comparatively low resistance,
through which so \ much of the elec
j trlcal current posses as practically to
cut out that part of the circuit through
I which the current originally flowed. In
other words, a "short circuit" has re
placedf the normal circuit, which may
be considered a long circuit. The cut
ting out of the resistance^ of the long
line permits the power to rush over
this path of low resistance, and If the
apparatus were not protected by the
fuse or circuit breaker the electrical
machinerywould do itself serious harm.'
To prevent serious effects from acci
dental short circuits of electric lighting
wires in buildings a "fuse" is inserted
in the circuit just inside the building.
In case a nail or some other falling
object short circuits the electric wires
in the house this fuse blows out? name
ly, melts out? and throws the circuit
opei^ so that no electricity can flow
j through the. wires in the house until
, the "short" has been found and eor
! rected. ? New York World.
Mado a King'a Lag Shorter.
In "Random Recollections." by Co
| ton Wood vi Ho, the English war nrt
I ist. is a story about Edward VII.
[ Woodville painted an equestrian por
i trait of the king. who. says the artist,
j was greatly pleased with it until he
examined the legs.
"Oh. Mr. Woodville," ho said, "what
u puir of magnificent legs you have
given m<?! They are simply splendid.
But look at my short ones. You will
have to make these in the portrait
shorter."
"i pointed out," says Woodville in
telling the yarn, "that in some of his
photographs his legs appeared to be
quite as long as I had painted them,
but no argument could convince him.
.A piece had to come off, and it did."
Hild*br?nd'? Qata.
St. Paul by the Tiber, last of the Ro
man basilicas, which has been restored,
has a great bronze gate Inlaid with sil
ver, presehted In 1070 by the Roman
Consul Pantaleo. His agent In order
ing the gate was the archdeacon and
the abbot of St Paul, who happened
to be in Constantinople, where metal
inlayers alone could be found. The
agent's name is inscribed on the gate,
"Hildebrandus Venerabilie Monarcbus
et Archidlaconus." In 1070 the "ven
erable Etlldebrand" did not mean much,
but he became Pope Gregory. VII.?

"That v. a,-, ail of it, was it. I thought

"The first sylluble?" she repeated.
"Yes. 1 thought yob were about to

"Whut shall 1 say?" she asked
"Say, 'Yes,' he advised.
"Yes?" she repeated inquiringly, as

Thereupon he kissed her again.

FELT SHE HAD BEEN FAMILIAR
Horrible Discovery by Mrs. Flint Had
Considerably Disturbed Her
Composure,
Ellen Terry, the famous English
actress, tells this story:
"Mrs. Flint came home from a call
one day in such a disturbed condition
that it was evident that tears were
?not far in the background. Her hus
band gazed at her inquiringly for a'
moment but she made haste to ex
plain befo're he could advance any
questions.
" 'Will,' said she, 'I am so morti
fied that I don't know what to do!'
"'What's Up, little one?' Mr. Flint
inquired flippantly.
" i have Just been calling on Mrj^.
Houtelle. You know her husband.
Major Boutelle?'
"'YeB.'
" 'Well, 1 just learned today that
"Major" Isn't his tittle at all. 'Major"
Is his first name.' j
" 'Why, sure it is. I've always
known that. What Is there so morti
fying about It?'
"'Nothing,' Mrs. Flint answered,
with a groan,' 'only that I'jre been
calling him "Major" every ' time I've
met him for the last six years!'"
8hackleton'? Expedition.
Sir Ernest Shackleton's proposed
journey across the antarctic continent
this year Involves 1,700 miles of trav
el ? as far as from New York city .to
Dallas, Tex. Shackleton himself has
described his projected crossing as
"a longer journey than to the pole and
back and Infinitely more difficult, be
cause we shall always be advancing
over new ground, with no depots to
draw upon." It is possible, however,
that the party will not have to depend
entirely upon its own resources dur
ing the latter part of the Journey, as
It Is planned to have an auxiliary ex
pedition land on the coast of Ross
T sea and sledge southward along* a
previously arranged meridian as far
as latitude 83, if possible, to meet the
explorers coming from the pole. The
expedition will have two shlpB, driven
by oil fuel, for the main and auxiliary
parties respectively. The sledges,
w'hlch will perhaps be constructed of
steel tubing, will be drawn by dogs,
except two, which will be driven by
aeroplane propellers.

Whether or not a man, has a right
to kiss his wife against her will was
decided In the negative by Recorder

when he sentenced Morgan Martin to
30 days in jail for displaying such af

protest. J v
Mrs Martin has begun a suit for
divorce, and has received her first de

forcibly kissed his wife, but said that
he dearly loved her, and could not
bear to be separated fronf her ^with

and after attempting to persuade her
to return to him held her while he
