The Habit
of Telling
By ADA PATTERSON.
Have you lost the habit of self tat
tling? Two murder trials, one that ran
its dramatic length in New York, the
other in a town near Chicago, have
turned largely upon the sclf-tattling
habit revealed by two of the chief
witnesses. One woman might have
held the public to its bcnefit-of-the
doubt attitude, and her husband ii
the belief that she was true as well
as tender, had she not turned tale
bearer upon herself. Now the pub-
lie, tnrough her own confession, ranks
her as a blighter of love, a deceiver
oi me nusDana who reposed his faith
in her. In the other case, the chum
or a gin wno had been a self talc
bearer violated the confidence of the
dead girl and blazoned her faults to
the world.
It is a strange, disastrous impulse
rnat was us tlaunt our own follies
and spread our own sins before an
unsympathizing world. A physician
termed it "the fatal impulse to con
fession." I know a young woman ad
dicted to it. She told the neighbors
every time the office boss reproved
her. She told all her girl friends
every time she fell in love or thought
she did. All the family quarrels were
detailed by her to whoever would
lend an ear. All her mistakes in
judgment and m act she made the
common property of her little world.
Once when I had been, for the nine
hundred ninety-ninth, time, her con
fidante in matters which were none
of my affair, I asked her why she
told them. She answered: "Because
by telling my troubles I get rid of
them."
This is true in some .instances. If
the ipine is weak it is a relief to shift
the burden to another back. If the
iumiu is wcba, ii a rcuci iu sum inc
weight of a troubling secret to another
and sturdier mind. If the back is
strong :the owner orefers to hear the
burden himself. If the mind and char
acter be strong, both grow and
strengthen by stiffening themselves
against the burden. Resistance is a
faculty that is like all others, strength
ened bv exercise.
Prominent m mv memorv is another
fieure. A female nne this inn Shi
had a strong face, a little sad at mo
ments, when she was tired or when
she thought no one was looking. Then
the brave, calm mask fell. What 1
saw showed me the world-old story
of pain and weakness. But it was
pain being conquered, weakness be
ing strengthened. Said that woman
to me, "I have never given a confi
dence that I have not regretted."
When I pressed her for reasons for
this,' she answered, "It isn't fair to
the person who has to listen. He
has enough to carry. We all have."
Whenever, after that, I saw this
woman listening to the whine of some
weak trouble-passing-on human, I re
membered how tired and sad her face
was, and that little time the mask of
calm bravery had slipped.
Don't tell your troubles. It isn't
fair to the one who has to listen. It
isn't fair to yourself. Remember that
long, long after the trouble you have
related has passed, leaving slight trace
upon your heart, others in whom you
have confided will remember, and, re
membering, pity. Telling your
troubles is photographing them indel
ibly upon' the memory of others. Don't
be that kind of a photographer; who,
fhat rfMrvs t. Iivp wants nitv'
Don't be a self talebearer.

"What is the "music of the
spheres?' Is it the vibrations cul
minating in sounds, colors and con
ditions of matter? J. L. W"
The "music of the spheres" is a
sublime mental conception, which may
or may not have a material basis.
It is the flower of the idea of har
mony, in its broadest sense. Pvtha
goras, Plato and other ancient think
ers were charmed by this idea, and
they sought to express its beauty and
the principle on which it rests by
imagery and suggestion. According to
Pythagoras, wlio discovered the har
monic numbers underlying musical
consonance, this celestial melody al
ways surrounds us, but, being accus
tomed to it from our birth, and having
' " - " ' l " ! , ' a ' ' , -;
mmmmwwvmmnmmmtmwMmmmasm iiiiiiiiiiwTiil
Stuffed Eggs
nothing with which to compare it,
nothing to render it evident to our
bodily senses (which are concerned
only with the coarser stimuli of the
heavy material world), we do not per
ceive it.
The central thought was that the
heavenly bodies were carried round
and round the earth embedded in con
centric crystalline spheres, or shells,
of absolute transparency, and that
these revolving shells, moving over
one another, produced an all-pervading
harmony of sounds, of superhu
man delicacy and beauty.
Cicero, level-headed statesman as he
was, capable of dealing with the stern
realities of the Roman world, believed
in the music of the spheres. Shake
speare put the substance of the idea in
words that can never die. He makes
Lorenzo, in "The Merchant of
Venice," say to Jessica, as they sit on
a moonlit bank, on an exquisite Ital
ian night:
"... Look, how the floor of
heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold!
There's not the smallest orb which
thou beholdest
But in his motion like an angel
sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed
cherubims.
Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of
decay
Doth grossly close it in we cannot
hear it.
Science has nothing to say about the
music of the spheres, and recognizes
no such thing, for there are no crystal
shells surrounding us, and the earth
is not the center of motion for any of
the heavenly bodies, not even the
moon, since the only effect of the
earth's attraction on the moon is to
bend its path in and out as it travels
with the earth round the sun. As has
been often said, the discovery that
comets rush in every direction through
space around us "demolished the cry
stalline spheres."
But notwithstanding all this, the un
derlying principle of the music of the
spheres runs through all scientific dis
covery. The universe is found to be
an organic whole; its laws are every
where applicable, and harmoniously
active. But harmony is the soul of
music, and if we widen the idea of
music so as to include every kind of
.larmonic action, and not simply the
accordant vibrations of air which af
fect the brain through the ear, we per
ceive that the "music of the spheres"
may be an expression for the har
monious working of the entire ma
chinery of the universe.
And very likely this was the real
thought in Plato's mind when he
averred that each of the revolving
spheres carried with it a siren, sound
ing its own particular note, and that
these various nr-"s being in harmoni
ous accord, produced a perfect con
cert, which so delighted the attendant
sirens that they "sang divine songs
and accompanied them with a sacred
dance." This method of expression
was merely a poetic dress for an idea
that even Plato was unable to define
without the use of figurative language.
Thus Plato had at least the germ of
the thought on which modern science
is based, viz., that everything in the
universe is at the same time relative
and accordant, and that, though pos
sibly undiscoverable to us, there is a
principle of harmony which forms the
clue to all phenomena.
It is natural for us to seek this prin
iple in vibration, or motion, because
ve find that that prevails everywhere,
i-ight, heat, sound, electricity, atomic
action, nay the very existence of
atoms and of matter and life itself, de
pend upon vibratory motion. The uni
verse quivers, and therefore, and
thereby, it lives.
Let the universal vibrations cease or
i all into disaccord, and stars, suns and
.vorlds would disappear as completely
as if they had never been. In a mo
ment, in the twinkling of an eye, there
would be nothing that" we call any
thing. The resulting chaos itself would
be a chasm, an abyss of nothingness.
It was a happy choice of words that
designated the principle of universal
harmnoy as the music of the
spheres," for there is no other impres
sion reaching our minds through our
senses which so stirs our inmost na
ture as music docs. It is not the ear
that understands music the ear only
transmits the vibrations that it re
ceives. I will not even admit that it
is the brain that understands, for it is
not the brain, which is also a machine,
but the mind. Yet the mind, the real
master, is indefinable. Music as we
comprehend it is only a partial thing.
It is the music of sound, but there
must be as many forms of music as
there are energies in the universe, and
one combined harmony includes
them all.
The Goat Ahead of All
In Switzerland the goat is placed
ahead of all other animals, If a boy
plagues a goat he can be fined and
sent to prison. .If a person meets a
goat on a path and drives it aside he
can be arrested. If a goat enters the
yard of a person not his owner, and
is hit with a club or atone, the per
son guilty of the offense must pay a
fine.
