The ec jme agazirxp p)a
Jealousy
By BEATRICE! lAIRFAX.
H Is Jealousy's peculiar nature
To swell small things to great, nay. out
of nought.
Tn conjure much: and then to lose lt
reaaon
Amid the hideous phanto-n It has form'd.
Edward Young.
"Jeslousy," some one once wisely wrote.
"Is said to be the offspring- of love. Yet
unless the parent make haste to strangle
the child the child will iio rest until It
hath poisoned the parent."
The heart of a man and the heart of a
maid are capricious thins. They meet,
they love; with the confession of love '
there Is a profession of faith.
"You cannot make me Jealous," one
thyn to the other In the few Intervals
rhe sweet silence of love-making Per- i
mlta for rational conversation, "because
I have faith In you."
"And I In you," says the other.
The days go by, their profession rf faltn
lfc perhaps two weeks old. He sees Her
walking with Another, and Another, so i
capitalized, always means one of hts owi
"ex.
He grows hot and cold with wrath. He
doe's not consider that the man may have
overtaken her nt the lost corner and will
liavo her -at the next. ' He swells "small.)
things to great," and loses all reason.
It was not an accident It wa-i an ap
pointment! She Is false'. All girl's are
false! He has been duped by a girl! Thus
he-reasons, or, rather, conclude without
reasoning, and he straightway accused
her.
Her fafth In their mutual profession
1ms been fo pretty, so far above all that
Ik petty and unjust, that she Is shocked
and hurt. She discovers that It Is not a
pod sho loves, but an ordinary, suspicious
man.
Perhaps she Is the first to be touched
with green eyes. Maybe they go to a
dance, and he dances with another girl
too' often to please her. She accuses htm
on the way home of loving the "other
girl. He is amused at her Jealousy, tak
ing It aa proof that she loves him. He
is also flattered.
But whichever It Is the first sees the
other through green oyer, this Is the re
sult; Faith 'has been shattered. There
enters Into their love an element of sus
picion, and of all emotions the human
heart Is heir to suspicion is the hardest
to overcome, and it is never killed.
"Love," says Charles Caleb Cotton,
"mny exist without Jealousy, although
this Is rare: but Jealousy may exist with
out love, and this is common, for Jeal
ousy can feed on that which Is bitter, no
less than on that which Is sweet, and is
sustained by pride as often as by affec
tion. Bo I ask of the young men and young
women who come to me with their talcs
of Jealousy that they be sure of them
selves. Perhaps their Jealousy Is not
the offspring of love, but the child of
pride. It hurts to see one they had
claimed as their own showing marks of
friendliness for another, and Jealousy Is
aroused.
Or, more often than one ever admits,
they are controlled by the same passion,
that led the dog. In the manger to dis
pute "possession wjth the' cow. He did
not want the hay for himself; but he
didn't want any one else to have It.
Many of the authors of these letters,
If honest, will confess that it is not love
for the object which has aroused their
jealousy, but the fear that some one
else may take possession.
But whatever the sentiment at the
fbundatlon of jealousy, beware of it. To
every one who is experiencing Its pangs,
I make this plea: Have faith.
Do not be unreasoning or unreason
able. Do not Jump at conclusions. Do
not reach a verdict without a fair trlSjLl
If a lover strays, an attitude of indif
ference, or pleased Interest, will bring
tfiat lover -back,- where reproaches would
drive away.
Give a lover the right to look at others,
and alt desire to look will cease.
If you would have love stay, treat It
well, remembering always that "unless
ons make haste to strangle jealjousy,
jealousy will poison love."

A HEItD OF WILD PIQS BEING FED IN INDIA,
Married Women Who Work
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
If It were possible to have iv motion
picture summing up, say In an hour's
time, the changes that the living formi
Inhabiting thin globe have undergone
since the earliest ages, the exhibition
would be astonishing beyond all words.
There would flit before our eyes an
endless iprocesilon of strange beasts,
gradlally emerging from the waters and
overspreading the land, and taking on
the shapes rendered necessary by alter.i.
tlon of environment and change of the
conditions of life.
Therj would , be the flrst amphib

air; then the great reptiles of etraor-
dlnary size and ferocious appetite; next
the flying dragons, ' birds with' reptilian 1
claws and teeth; then the huge monster-
of tertiary time:- and finally men with his
early companions, the mammoth and the
mastodon. i
At every stage it would be seen that I
the animals fed upon one another, and
that some species were thus driven Into
practical extinction, but. until the arrival i
of man, there would be no evidence of the
Interference of any agency above tho '
ordinary tendencies of nature.
But man, with Ills active bruin, would
be found taking a hand, on his own ac
count, and upon a systematic plan, in
the future evolution of the llfo of tha
globe. He would be scon gradually alter
ing the character and the forms ol
various animals by subjecting them to his
rule. -Then" domesticated animals would
first make their appearance, and the. na
ture of the horse, 'the lox and other
creatures would undergo a remarkable
change under hts KuMnceT
And when the vast filmrHad been un
rolled almost to its'-end, 'man would be
seen driving Into extlnqtlon'tnahy animals
which, but for his ar'rJvnV'rolght have
continued for ages..to-lnhaV)Uthe earth.
This would be, In many Respects, the most
dramatic part of the exhibition.

Dear Mist Fairfax; About nine months

weeks and promised to call every week
within a few more weeks. He haa told ,
me he loves me or he would not call to i
see me, as he lives quite some distance
from me. Now, as he has not spoken to I
me about any engagement, I am at a loss
as what his Intentions are. I hava many
chances, but do not care to have the
young men call on account of this other
gentleman, and since I love this young,
man very much. I do not care to give
him up unless I find out that he has no
serious Intentions and so Is wasting my
time. Would it be proper to ask him hts"
Intentions? E. H.

by Ifirft held almost every department of
the elty In Its grasp. In IMA ths great
rst schemo of robbery began the bullU
lnif the new county court house. It was
to" cost not over 2M,G00; but before 1371.
whllo It was still unfinished, It had cojt
$8,000,000.
Yn 1879 the power of auditing aceounts
was taken from the supervisors and
vested In certain city offices that were
filled by friends of the ring. All restraints
on fraudulent bills . were thus removed.
and the way was open to every kind of
rascality, mils amounting to $$,000,000
were passed at the first and only mktflpg
of the hoard of audit. Of this amount
11,000,000 was traced directly to Tweed's
own pocket.
A secret account of the money thus
paid out was kept In the auditor's office
and during the winter of 1S70-71 a clerk
stealthily copied Its Items and showed
them tn a bitter enemy at Tammany.
That was enough and the end of the ring
was at hand.
The enemy of Tammany gave the news
to a New York newspaper, and In July,
1871, the news Was published.
Instantly a storm or excitement wag
created, and an Investigation followed.
Fortunately, the man and the hour met,

In 1875 the "Boss." with the help of
his friends, managed to escape, where

dom was a short one. however. He was
captured the following year, brought
back to New York City and died In Lud

Never yet hss there been on this earth

perfectly true, as Bhskespeare puts It,
that "our life Is of a mingled yarn, good
and ill together." Hence there Is noth

who know hlrn that Tweed was, despite
his rascality, a "ulghearted, generous
man. possessing extraordinary Influence
over all with whom he came In contact."
