It remains that no matter what the foolishness shown by some, the great majority are level-headed. "The underlying common sense of the peopje" is a proverbial saying.

The public is judging rightly today, as always, are the hysterical and who are not. While the radicals in America are making a lot of noise, it is found, on careful analysis, that they are not getting far. The greatest call for precaution today is against being influenced by the misuse of the term, hysteria, merely to discredit the position of the other fellow. In such cases it figures only as an epithet, and is as apt to be applied to the acts of some cool, level-headed individual as to one who lets his zeal get ahead of his loom. he almost failed to get a pass over the Harriman lines.

Just now it is the chief weapon of the enemies' of the government who are being called to book for their treachery They describe the movement against them as representing nothing but hysteria-Those who urge the deportation of the aliens who tried to stab this country in the back during the war are called hysterical. So with those who are trying to rid our legislative bodies of the disloyal.

It is not hysteria that we are dealing with in euch cases as the above, but treachery, cold and calculating. Any Americans stupid enough to be turned from the prosecution through fear of being thought hysterical for resenting insults to the Stars and Stripes are the laughing stock of the sinister individuals they would help. Happily, as pointed the great majority of Americans are too shrewd and too determined to be sidetracked by the impudent charges of the foe that they are hysterical. Of course the line between political radicalism and fanaticism is difficult to draw, but there is no danger of confusing the sane progressive with the wild-eyed Bolshevist or with the parlor anarchist. The radical who is sound at heart finds it possible to express himself in accordance with orderly processes.

The continued application of common sense will soon overcome what hysteria there is.

But the stalking of food Is an intricate process, and few have the leisure or the Inclination to master all its niceties.

Eating presents many problems. With the public use of the toothpick decried by best authorities, the most versatile often, are hard put in the circumstances. Many ars undecided what to do with a table knife once they have picked it up. One of the most awkward and inartistic of the table gestures is that of conveying food to the mouth with the "fork hand," or "south flipper," as some prefer to call it. Yet millions successfully attempt it every day.

That he was not wholly oblivious to gallantry is evident in the story told of his halting of a coach upon one occasion on Hounslow Heath in which a lady was seated.

It was really an apprenticeship for the craft he was destined to follow.

There he climbed a chimney and made his way into acorridor.

Only two weeks Sheppard was permitted his liberty, when he was captured, but in the meantime the populace had heard of his adventures and all London went crazy over him. Noblemen crowded in his cell eager to hear the story of his crimes. One Londoner wrote: "Nothing contributes so much to the entertainment of tho town as the adventures of Jack Sheppard."

There is an annual festival in China known as "Propitious day." On. that occasion Chinese maidens may be seen offering: up to Euddha miniatur? dolls or figures mad of a special kind of paper. The prayer that accompanies the offering is that they may receive worthy husbands, and be themselves worthy of so precious a gift. The paper figures are supposed to represent an unhappy bridal pair who, accordtns to an old legend, once offended Buddha. The legend a very ancient one is that a youth and maiden once happened on the same day, although miles apart from one another, to offer the same prayer to Buddha he for a model wife, and she for a model husband.

The god thereupon decided to unite the two. For a time they lived happily, but then, through following their own wills and desires, los love for one another and fell to wrangling and quarreling. This outcome of hia match-making angered Buddha, who thereupon banished the couple to opposite sides of a broad and deep river. Once a year only were they permitted to meet. The natural consequence was that their love for each other returned, and they were to appreciate what fools they had been ever to Arret.

An English Editor's View of tho India Massacre. Under the caption, "Record of a Simple English Gentleman," the editor of "Town Topics" (a weekly publication In London) prints the following paragraphs concerning General Dyer, in the form, of a "box" conspicuously at the top of one of the pages of that paper: "He shot down 2,000 of our fellow subjects for fear they would laugh at him and make him look like a fool." (500 were killed,) "He shot them In cold blood without giviag them the lightest warning."

Moreover, only one to The publicKy recently given to the discovery or development of a new form of anaesthetic which is said to eliminate pain without loss of consciousness seems. I think, to warrant attention to a subject concerning which there appears to be a great deal of public misinformation: It is customary to refer to anaesthetics as a discovery of the nineteenth century, and to think with horror of the agonies that most have 'been endured "by the ancient peoples with no means of alleviation. But when one looks studiously into the matter he discovers that pain-saving agencies were known long before the Christian era. It is true that the use of sulphuric ether was first practically adopted by Dr.

Morton of Boston, in ISIS, and of chloroform by Dr. Simpson of Edinburgh, in 1847, but it appears from the account given by Herodotus of the practice of the Scythians, several centuries before Christ, that intoxicating vapors were employed by way of inhalation to produce insensibility to paJn. Pliny, in his description of the plant known as the mandragora -or circeius. says: 'It is drunk before cuttings or puncturings, lest they be felt." Dio-scorides, a Greek physician of Cliicia, who was born about time Piiny died, wrote concerning mandragora: "It is used to cause the insensibility of those who are to be cut or cauterized." Tho eame Greek physician describes the stone, ilemphitis also mentioned by Pliny and says that wnen it is powdered and applied to parts to be cut or cauterized, they are rendered, without the slightest danger, InsensLble to pain. The expressions used by Apulelus of Madura, who flourished about a century after Pliny, are still more remarkable than those already quoted from the older authors.

He says, in speaking of mandragora: "If any one is to have a member mutilated, burned or sawed, let him drink a half an ounce, and sleep till the member is cut away without any pain or sensation; (et tantum dormiet, quosque abscindatur mem-brum aJiquo sine dolore et It was not in Europe and in Western Asia alone that discoveries of lethean were made. Among the Chinese the matter was not neglected. Among the therapeutic methods confirmed by the experience of thousands of years, the records of which they have preserved with religious veneration, the employment of an anaesthetic agent to parajyze the nervous sensibility before performing surgical operation, is distinctly set forth.
