CURRENT TOPICS,

Themes Which Men and Women Dis courses About on Street Cars.

A certain physician of this city, who never neglects an opportunity to study the traits of the people among whom his business takes him, bas been mak- ing some observations recently that may serve as a basis for estimating the char- acter of the average modern American.

**I have to travel on street cars a good deal,’’ the pbysician said in explaining his course of procedure, ‘‘and I hear al] kinds of people talk. A short time age I thought I would keep a record of the words most frequently used within my hearing by people of all classes.

‘I omit pames, profanity and vulgar- ity, but otherwise this list, which rep resents one week's street car conversa- tion, is absolutely correct. Here, then, is a summary of what married men talk about:

‘*Dollars mentioned within my hear- ing, 407 times; business, 295; money, 206; dollar, 194; stocks, 168; bonds, 152; job, 81; son, 68; daughter, 11; wife, 4; literature, 0; music, 0; art, 0.

*‘Married women: She, 409; party, 826; dress, 824; splendid, 3816; dol- lars, 201; trimming, 187; cards, 151; prize, 151; society, 1380; baby, 129; clothes, 84; weather, 62; rich, 60; lovely, 59; perfectly awful, 46; doctor, 43; medicine, 34; music, 6; literature, 0; art, 0.

‘*Young men, unmarried: Corker, 602; daisy, 467; girl, 416; beaut, 391: fairy, 306; winner, 302; stunner, 284; hummer, 231; dance, 104; party, 87; old man, 88; fight, 70; money, 72; dol lars, 50; no geod, 42; cigarette, 31; college, 1; literature, 0; music, 0; art, 0.

‘*Young women, unmarried: Lovely, 509; just perfectly lovely, 491; horrid, 476; gorgeous, 468; fellow, 409; en- gaged, 387; dress, $71; stunning, 352; love, 295; party, 291; wear, 284; she, 206; opera, 108; ring, 31; mamma, 28; papa, 16; music, 9; mother, 1; picture, 1; poem, 1; art, 1.

‘‘I imtend,’’ concluded the doctor, ‘to pursue this subject further, and may be able to give additional figures that will be interesting.’’—Cleveland Leader.

The Largest Book.

Professor Max Muller of Oxford, in a recent lecture, called attention to the largest book in the world, the wonder- ful Kuth Daw. It consists of 729 parts in the shape of white marble plates, covered with inscriptions, each plate built with a temple of brick. It is found near the old priest city of Mandalay, in Burma, and this temple city of more than 700 pagodas virtually makes up this monster book—the religious codex of the Buddhists. It is written in Pali. Rather strange to say, it is not an an- cient production, but its preparation was prompted by the Buddhistie party of this century. It was erected in 1857 by the command of Mindomin, the sec- ond of the last kings of Burma.—Home Journal.

HOMILY ON NERVOUSNESS.

Some Practical I¢-as That Are Drawn by @ Thic™ og Layman.

YVhe most casual glance at the col- umns of the newspapers betrays the fact that nervous complaints, as re- cently asserted by the medical profes- sion, are greatly on the increase. Com- parison will demonstrate that we Amer- icans are becoming, if we are not al- ready, tho most highly strung and nery- ous pe™.’¢ in the world,

But nervousness, as expressed by va- rious well meaning citizens, seems to be a certain resentment against noise. I am considering the point from the van- tage or disadvantage of a layman. Is mere noise the oause or simply the evi- dence of nervousness? That’s what I want to know. To be clearer, is mere noise the creator of nervousness, or is the universal complaint of these noises merely the evidence of growing nerv- ousness? Most of the errors of reason- ing, I believe, are from the confusion of cause and effect.

When a letter carrier suddenly and unexpectedly pipes his thin, shrill whis- tle up a vibrant hallway and causes me to start, it is easy and natural to say he makes me nervous. And when an ele- vated train, brakes down, approaches a station, causing every wheel to scream and shriek, it ‘‘sets my teeth on edge,”’ and the charge is instantly filed against the railroad company of creating rerv- ous disorders. Whereas, the facts are I was nervous already, and the letter car- rier’s shrill whistle only demonstrated it, and if I had not been a sufferer from nervousness the elevated noises would simply have had no effect upon my mind whatever. And if I sat down and wrote to the newspapers complaining against all these manifold noises I should enly advertise my nervous con- dition to the whole community.

I am aware that I shall run counter to the popular theory when I assert that noises have nothing whatever to do with nervousness. The nervous per- son will jump higher and quicker when silently approached from the rear, being unexpectedly confronted silently in the dark, being suddenly touched by some one till that moment unseen or unheard, or even prove more nervous under con- ditions of absolute silence. It can be easily demonstrated that a man who can sleep like a babe on the line of the elevated road will be awakened at the crow of chickens in the country, and yet be unable to sleep at no sounds at all. The man whe is disturbed by the noises of the city is a nervous man who would toss all night on a sicepless couch in the dead quiet of the country. The only reason there is more nervousness is because our mode of life creates pervous- ness. We drink more, smoke more, eat more and go the pace generally—and

them lay it on to noises.—New York 7,442

We know that Cod-liver Oil is a fat-forming food because takers of it gain rap- idly in weight under its use and the whole body receives vital force. When prepared as in Scott’s Emulsion, it is quickly and easily changed into the tissues of the body. As your doctor would say, “it is easily assimilated.” Perhaps you are suffering from fat starvation. You take fat enough with your food, but it either isn’t the right kind, or it isn’t digested. You need fat prepared for you, as in Scott’s Emulsion.
