OOKS. what a lovely day will When the Deep takes back what it gave, And the Merry Widow drifts out to sea On the crest of the Marcel wave! Two Souls l T is reported in the papers that Pro- fessor Stanley Hall recently in- 1 the matter and has discovered a woman has two souls. he fact that this has been st 1 in the papers would argue th: it isn’t true; but assuming that it is true—and we have long suspected it—this natural- ly leads to a new field of inquiry Man—accorting to Nietsche—has an vest tha over soul yy about one and one-half Some men of course may have only one and there have been some men who Ito be shy even a fraction of one. But one and a half is a fairly good average. n, being, as every one knows, o1 gher plane than man, has two, thus being able to fool us with greater ease She plays one soul until we think we know it. Suddenly it disappears and another appears. On supreme occasions even pull together, thus ereat- and. one-quarte entirely new effect at chance has a 1¥4 soul against a 2 souled woman About as much as a tariff readjustment in a Republican con- gress. Without pretending to know much about it, we should say, roughly speak- ing, that a woman's souls are intelle tual and domestic. When the intellec- tual soul is uppermost, the domestic is “down and out," and vice vers When a woman utters a so cry, it doesn’t hurt, because by a nice aljustment it goes in between the two souls, doing no damage whatever. This explains why a woman never gets tired of talking. One soul constantly relieves the other. They divide it into watches, One soul comes on deck at cight bells and takes up the work where the other one left off. The line “ Two souls with but a single thought "’ is also now quite clear. The man is so scared at the idea of what is coming to him that he can’t even think, The one thought belongs to the girl. We know now of course why one woman may contain so much heaven and hell at the same time. Also why, when a man is attempting to join the partner of his joys in the hereafter, he may have to make two long journeys before he is properly joined again. Realism In the Label HE Pure Food Law says that what you put in a bottle t | must really possess the capabilities you claim for it in the label. If the label says that the mixture in the bottle will restore the bloom of youth, or reduce obes'ty, or make the hair grow again on t alps, the mixture must Co those feats, or else the label is unlawful dozen packages of preparations shington by order of live were seized in W. the Department of Justice, on com- plaint of the Department of Agricul- ture, for non-fulfilment of the promises made in their labels. It seems incred- ible, but the papers say so. The idea that the fabricators of hair tonic, for example, may not lawfully raise hopes in the breast of the bald-headed buyer that the mixture sold to him will being air bac’s, is upsetting to the habits What is Cemanded by the law as Dr. Wiley and the depar terpret it is that the label writers stall abandon romanticism and become real- ist Well, well!) What an age we do live in, to be sure! The very labels on the bottles must tell the truth, and claim 1:0 more than they can reasonably hope to accomplish! Miraculous!
