Jealousy,
Form of Insanity,
Can Be Cured
By ELLA WIIF.KI.KR WILCOX.
Copyright, 191, Star Company.
"Can you suggest a method whereby on
can be cured of that species of Insanity
called Jealousy?"
Every man or woman who haa wielded
tha pen haa discoursed upon thla theme
until it Is threadbsre.
Tet all themes fa old. but there are
ever new audiences, as these letters of
Inquiry prove. ,
Jealousy Is the offspring of selfishness
and passion.. It Is no way related to lova.
Whenever a man or woman lover is Jeal
ous, tha feeling- spring, not from lova.
but from either the selfishness or the ani
mal passions In tha heart.
When I speak of Jealousy 1 mean that
unreasoning: emotion whloh a look, a
word, a common courtesy shown by
another to a third party produces.
Many people refer to tha natural feel
ing of wounded love and dignity which
disloyalty or neglect from a dear one
produces as Jealousy,
It Is not even remotely related to that
ignoble sentiment.
If a. man never pays his wife 'a com
pliment. If ha neglects her and finds
fault with her upon every occasion, but
Is free in the flattery and praises of
other women, it is not 'Jealousy" which
embitters her mind, It Is alighted affec
tion and hurt pride.
Jealousy Is Just what my correspondent
tails It. a species of insanity resulting
from an overwhelming self-love.
I have seen scores of men who did not
lova their wives at all, yet who were
monsters of Jealousy If any other man
showed them attention.
It was tha dog-in-the-manger impulse.
They did not care for the hay. but noth
ing else must touch it
Women who nag their husbands to the
verge of despair, who neglect them, and
who are as incapable of. lova as an Icicle
of warmth, often display violent Jealousy.
We have all seen these statements
so fully and frequently proved, that it
seems the height of absurdity to call
Jealousy an offspring" of love. Tes, love,
can and does often exist In an undisci
plined heart, where selfishness and pas
sion snd their'" ill-begotten child. Jealousy,
also are allowed to dwell.'
Only now and then do we encounter
V great soul, which has mastered the
'uaser qualities, and learned that perfect
love means perfect trust, and that the
highest expression of love Is in desiring
its object to be appreciated and admired
by others. .......
To every Jealous mart or woman Jeal
ous by nature and by lack of self-government
I would advise a half hour
every day taken alone for meditation
and analysis. ' ,
Say to yourself: "This is a ' disease of
my mind. It Is sura death to - the hap
piness and peace of the one I love. It
Is death to' the feelings of respect and
lova in that heart for ma. I married,
meaning to be happy and to render an
other happy. This conduct of mine Is
unreasonable and undignified. I am mak
ing, myself ridlenloifs.' - Nothing In so
unbecoming and unattractive as jealousy.
How can r expect to be loved when I
appear to such disadvantage? I am In
sulting" the ' Jpartnw of my 'fnolce1'- by
these' doubts ant suspicions, and r am
making 4 "toot and a bore of myself."
Then' take yourself in hand ' and drive
out the demon ' of v Jealousy he moment
it appears at "the door of your mind.
Compel 'yourself to treat some imaginary
rival with utmost courtesy find some
thing to- praise my frilm or her and sur
prise your- wife or husband by paying
tho third party a compliment, while you
endeavor to bo aa agreeable as possible;
yourself. ' ' ' ' - '
It is in excellent rule- to establish, to
try to excel your supposed rival in that
one respect of being agreeable. Once
you make that your object, you will
find It lmpc
t Jealousy is
I "V, Phases.
Impossible to display Jealousy, aa
Intensely disagreeable in all
Having' conquered any expression of
lealoiny, : you have fought two-thirds of
:he Battle, for Jealousy is a conceited
monster and will not stay where tie
cannot display himself. '
Tell yourself twenty times a day that
you are. too sensible .and have too much
srlf-esteein and- too mnh gnou sense
and unselfishness to tie jealous.
Try to realise home Is the only place
on earth to find happiness'," and if you
do not do your utmost to make your
home a happy one. you are-sinning
against the, - HoIy .flhost, which is' love,
and no pto.Ce can be happy where Jeal
ousy ' dwells. . i . ,' - -. ; -,

? By WOODS HUTCHIHSOtr,' M. D.
Iieprosy, Instead of spreading and
threatening civilization, is dwindling and
disappearing almost aa rapidly as the
buffalo. But while there is no disputing
tha cheering fact, the most singular thing'
Is that we must frankly ' confess our
selves utterly at a loss to account for It.
'All wo can say is, that with the com
ing of tha improved living conditions of
civilization, better and more varied and
abundant food, beeter.- housing, bettet
drainage, cleaner and more comfortable
habits of Ufa and work, leprosy rapidly
dies out and disappears.
The same process is still going on In
all the tropical and sub-tropical colonies
of tha western nations, where leprosy
still exists.
It Is customary to attribute a large
share of this decline and disappearance
to active measures of Isolation and
segregation, gathering the known lepers
together into colonies. But - this would
hardly bear . scrutiny, for two reasons.
First, beaense it rests upon the second
great popular misconception that th
disease is acutely and extremely con
tagious or catchiniu. whereas, as a mat
ter of fact, leprosy Is ono of the most
feebly contagious and slowly and uncer
tainly spreading Infectious . diseases
known. The children of a leprous father
or mother, for instance, show no higher
percentage of the disease than the rest
of the community, in which they live;
and it is comparatively, seldom that one
case of the disease Is followed by an
other In the same family or household.
When two cases do occurf In the same
family they usually appear either sim
ultaneously or so widely separated as to
have no detectable connection with one
another, and are probably due to com
mon living conditions.
After a thousand years of intimate
familiarity with the disease and' nearly
half a century of tireless modern bac
teriological ' research, ' we know no more
of how leprosy spreads from one victim
to another than we did In the dark
ages. '
One consoling fact, however. Is almost
absolutely certain, and that is, that it
does not pass by direct personal contact.
Of the tens of thousands of lepers under
careful observation in Norway and In
tropical colonies for the last forty years,
not one haa ever been proved to trans
mit the disease directly, either to an
other member of the family or household
or to. his doctor, nurse or attendants.
The pitiful and dramatic case of
Father Pamlen. the devoted martyr
priest Vf Molokai, was a one-ln-twenty-thousand
oxceptlnn. and the strong
probability and belief of experts Is, that
he contracted the disease as about on
white man in 10.000 may do, from sim
ply living In the climate and on the
food and under the conditions of the
Islands.
The best suthorltles are inclined to the
opinion that the disease is transmitted
Indirectly either through Infected or con
taminated food or through the bit of
soma blood-sucking Insect (the mosquito
was again accused her, but there is not
sufficient evidence against him as yet);
or through rle medium of some domestic
animal, or house-Infesting vermin, as
plagu. for instance, la carried by the
rat and the flea In combination

shock when told that out of it issues
same of the deadliest enemies of hu
manity, almost invisible agents of di
seases which laugh to scorn the strongest
defenses that man's Intelligence can erect
against them.
The natural home of the protosoans Is
water. Billions live In swamps and stag
nant pools, and countless multitudes In
aea water. The bottom of the ocean, in
places. Is carpeted with their remains.
There Is something very wonderful in
their manner of living. They seise, de
vour and assimilate their food without
possessing any of the organs employed
for such purposes by higher animals.
"The protoia," says Prof. H. B. Ward,
"manifest a physiological complexity as
striking as their structural simplicity,
in that all the functions of higher or
ganisms are here discharged by the
single cell.
"In the place of tha tissues and organs
of the higher animals on finds differ
entiations within the single celt which
are related to special functions and hence
analgous to organs."
The life forces which determine their
forms seems to act along the lines of
those which shape molecules into crys
tals. Many of them, aa the accompany
grow and "produce the disease In any
animal.
And while scores of aocldental Infec
tion to the hands of surgeons and
nurses dressing or operating upon lepers
have occurred, not ono of them has pro
duced a case of the disease.
Indeed, thoughtful experts are Inclined
to regard leprosy as one of the great
food, or food ' and living conditions
diseases, like pellagra and berl-bexi and
scurvy. That Is to say, while there
Is certainly a germ at work In leprosy,
and probably also in berl-bert and pel
legra, either that germ requires for its
transfer Infected and decayed food, or
vile and unsanitary housjng and living
conditions, or the resisting power of
patients must be lowered by Insufficient
rood ann injurious surrounding . oeiore
it can succeed in getting a foothold In
their tissues.
A Dainty Blue Bedroom
This bedroom is a real one, designed
and furnished by a young girl. Tha walls
and celling are done in blue and sliver,
he floor being covered with Japanese
matting and soft bhie rugs. The furni
ture is silver birch, the bed a low brass
one. In one corner la a big couch, with
a single long hi ire upholstered cushion
running its length, piled high with corn
colored, ' blue, delicate pink, lilac, nlle
green and black satin pillows.
Above the couch a pearl cord fish-net
la draped, canopy fashion, falling down
at the side. In its meshes are all th
favors and trophies of the passing social
season. Golf clubs, racquets, a banjo and
a broken oar blade with a Tale blue rib
bon tied to It, complete the corner.
In another corner stands a desk with
book shelves above It which hold favorite
volumes of poetry. In a deep bay win
dow, partly screened by the whit Ja
panese creiie hanging, stands a small
upright piano with a silver birch cas.
and music rack to match. Another cor
ner hold a white framework, which ex
tends across the top of the book shelves
and down either side of them to the
baseboard; it la f111d with photograph
of friends. On th shelve Inside th
framework are acrapbooka. program
and bound playa; a Morris chair stands
Invitingly beside the books.
Over the bed 1 a beautiful counter
pane, mad of dotted net over blue silk;
a fourteen-lnch flounce edged with lac
goes all around, slashed at th corners
to accommodate tha brass posts, and tied
with a big blue satin bow at ach post;
In the center is an applied design com
posed of a wreath of lace leaves.
Pastels, posters and water colors In
liver birch frame adorn th walls. The

There is a great variety of alio among
'the different kinds of protozoan, and It

It must not be supposed that the glass
models In the museum are fanciful or
Imaginary representations of these
minute rreatures. The models are blown
from glass and built up and colored In
faithful Immltatinn of the originals seen
under the microscope, and tha art of
creating such models Is a fine develop
ment of special skill and knowledge, of
which there are very few masters in the
world.
Herman O. Mueller says in the Meseum
Journal that tha calling of the glass
blower is an Inheritance from antiquity,
and that "the sons grow up to the

from early youth to the acquisition of

Some Gayety
Wide petticoats, banished while tight
skirts hold swsy, are again In favor, but
during their absence they have gained
an added gayety. They are very short
and boast a wire or toed at the edge, to
hold out their billowy folds under the
gowns which grow even fuller. It is
possible an airy little net affair with tiny
ruffles, the edges having a black pllk
fringe a sixteenth of an Inch wide, and
between each ruffle a pink taffeta pinked
quilling one Im-h wide; dotted over the
petticoat are tiny h!nok pompons, of
course, this pettlcimt Is not destined to
be washed, though it might survive one
or two Isits to the lry cleaner.
Then there are rloi.t of gold petticoats
with gold lace ruffles, that are brilliant
and fairly durable. Skirts made of rib
bon snd tare Insertion stripes, with fluffy
lace ruffle at the bottom, are very
dainty for dancing. Some pretty skirts
of silk have net ruffles embroidered In
gold or silver; one entirely made of laoe
Is trimmed with garlnnds of tiny pink
roses.
Even the old rellaMo silk petticoats
show their gayety by being very short
and full. lth deep points of scallop
around the bottom. For the women who
prefer them, there are skirts with Jersey
silk tops and silk flounces that button
or gather on to the tops. The lingerie
klrt follow the same models and have
the same elaborate trimming as the
richer materials, but they have the ad
vantage of being washable. Of course,
