Made in Germany RECENT cable advises that a Bavarian citi- zen, till this writing above reproach, has just been fined for kissing his wife ona train. Of course this sort of thing is en- tirely in the hands of the German authori- ties, but one may venture to express the hope that they are not looking to any legislation which may make it illegal for two bearded Bavarian gentlemen to kiss each other at railway stations. Such fortunate happenings have served greatly to lighten the tedium of Continental journeyings. Woman's Trivmphal March ACCORDING to press dispatches, a baby was transported by parcel post in the State of Washington the other day. This looks like another shrewd move by the feminists. Men have been chuckling over the fond delusion that mail carriers could not be female, but once more they seem due to learn that she laughs best who has the last word. The day of the female carrier appears to be at hand, for young men ambitious to enter the carrier service will first turn pale and then turn back at the prospect of having to turn their mail bags into day nurseries, while it makes one sad to think of the havoc which may be wrought among the ranks of seasoned, hardy vet- erans of an overworked postal service by a few pouches of papooses. Truly, mere man grows merer and merer with every passing day! ne Im eY GFal S The Sweetness of Anger F YOUR tailor fails to get your evening wear pressed in time for some function at which your presence is necessary, or the taxi driver overcharges you scandal- ously when you have no time to go to the A RUBBER AT WHIST Police Court with him, or some one en- gages you in a quarrel and knocks you down, don’t worry. You are all the sweeter for such things. And the mad- der you get, the sweeter you will be, even with a black eye. That is one of the latest scientific no- tions. A Harvard professor has been ex- perimenting on this proposition. He doesn’t say he has been going around with a chip on his shoulder, fomenting trouble for himself, but he knows, from observa- tion with dogs and cats and X-rays. Ll p=) are Sou This statement that a man is sweet after trouble that enrages him is based on the theory that the emotional actiy. ity that accompanies sinister excitation causes a marked increase of sugar in the blood. This marvel of physiology is ex. plained in scientific terms, but the fact alone is of chief interest to the reader. Some experiences to be noted in actual life, remote from laboratories, would seem to bear out the theory. Men and women quarrel, and if they make up they are all the sweeter to each other at least for a time because of the antecedent troubles. And there are other sequels to anger that apply. There is no knowing what science may achieve. Its wonders grow and increase. It is not su long ago that some foreign scientist made out a good case on the theory that love—and especially what has sentimentally been called ‘‘violent” love—is nothing more than plain insanity that should be treated like other manias, and particularly by isolation of the afflicted. Yet mankind will go on fomenting and experiencing anger in various degrees with no idea that they are making them- selves and their antagonists the sweeter thereby, and lovers will love violently and be happy and miserable with no notion that they ought to be separated and sent to asylums. Knowledge comes slowly, but profit from knowledge is even more laggard.
