FIGHT OFF SHYNESS
SELF-CONSCIOUS PERSON AU
WAYS UNJUSTLY RATED.
Thoap Afflicted With Thai Form of
Timidity Underestimated Because
Their Real Selves Are Never
Allowed Proper Expression.
Dr. Orison Swett Marden, the world
known philosopher, says:
Hawthorne was one of the shyest
men that ever lived. He used to walk
the streets with his eyes on the ground
to avoid recognizing others, and ii he
saw anyone he knew ne would cress
the street to escape the embarrass
ment of a meeting. Later in life he
said God might forgive sins, but awk
wardness had no forgiveness in heaven
or on earth. His own imagined awk
wardness was due to his timidity, his
morbid self-consciousness.
After spending the evening at Emer
son’s house, George William Curtis
spoke of Hawthorne, who had sat si
lent as a shadow all evening and had
scarcely spoken to anyone. Curtis won
dered why no one had looked after
him. But being “looked after” would
only have made him more miserable.
Once, when making a call, Hawthorne
asked his hostess what he should
talk about and she advised him “cli
mate.” .
It is not recorded whether he found
even this topic sufficiently inspiring to
tempt him to break his habitual si
lence. Visiting a naval officer, and
being pressed for something to say,
Hawthorne asked him if he had ever
been in the Sandwich islands. His
host concluded that the man who
would ask aimless, silly questions of
this sort could not be much of a
genius.
I know people of great scholarly at
tainments and mental caliber who go
through life practically unknown, un
ippreciated even in their own neighbor
hood. They live by themselves just
because nobody seems able to get at
“ them, to understand them. They do
to make themselves unapproachable.
' There is something about them that
people, and yet they feel kindly
toward everybody. They would be
glad of a chance to do a favor to
, anyone, but they are misunderstood
because they are too timid and shy
to come out of their shell.
Shy people are constantly misunder
stood and underestimated, because
their real selves are never allowed
expression. They are so afraid that
others are weighing and measuring
them in the balance a*d finding them
• wanting that whenever they can they
•‘■“flock by themselves,” as the Irish
man puts it.
Their shrinking, self-effacing, apolo
getic attitude is fatal to their effi
ciency as well as to their comfort and
happiness. If, instead of avoiding
others, they would mix freely in soci
ety and undertake responsibility at
every opportunity, no matter how it
might pain them or how every nerve
might shrink from human contact; if
they would stop staying alone in cor
ners at receptions and in drawing
rooms, if they would c-ease worrying
about their appearance and manner,
and would force themselves into the
great human current, they would soon
entirely overcome their self-conscious
ness.—Pictorial Review.
Business District for New York.
Planning a model business district
where the merchants, manufacturers,
realty owners »and transportation
heads will co-operate In eliminating
the unnecessary friction in industry
and commerce due to unscientific
methods and lack of teamwork, the
Central Mercantile association has in
vited city officials to confer with its
directors as to the first steps which
may be taken to realize this ideal. This
association's industrial survey of New
York city and of the central mercan
tile district is to be used as the basis
for the constructive program. Tenta
tive plans Include a development ateng
Industrial, residential, transportation
and real estate lines. Merchants and
manufacturers are working with rail
road and steamship officials to assure
the maximum efficiency of the central
mercantile district’s shipping facili
ties, which include the Chelsea docks
and the freight and passenger service
of many of the largest railroads. Co
operating with the city planning com
mission, the Central Mercantile dis
trict is to be provided with restricted
zones for residential purposes, where
apartments of all types may provide
for 120,000 workers in the plants of
the district.
Poetry Increases Temperature.
A local disengagement of heat seems
to accomrany brain activity. Dr. J. S.
Lombard found in mere than 60,000
observations that any intellectual ef
fort, such as computing, composing, re
citing poetry silently or aloud, and
especially that emotional excitement,
such as a fit of anger, caused a gen
eral rise of temperature.
The rise was In most cases more
marked in the middle region of the
head than elsewhere. Strange to say,
It was greater in reciting poetry si
lently than in reciting it aloud. Doc
tor Lombard’s explanation is that “in
internal recitation an additional por
tion of energy, Which in recitation
aloud was converted into nervous and
muscular force, now appears as heat.”
How She Won.
“Don’t you think,” said the poetic
'sap-year maid, “that you and I would
make a fine couplet?”
Well,” rejoined the young man in
the.case, “I’m not a-verse to a trial.'
Cook Book |
All that is beautiful shall abide,
All that is base shall die.
Some Simple Soups.
As soups are both nourishing and
easy to prepare it is wise to have u
large repertoire of them to serve as
luncheon and Uiuuer dishes.
Quick Mutton and Potato Soup.
Add a cupful of cold mashed pota
toes to six cupfuls of mutton slock.
Reheat, season to taste and thicken
with, two beaten eggs added with half a
cupful of cream just before taking up.
German Veal Soup.
Put two pounds of the knuckle of
veal into three quarts of water, with
a carrot, au onion, a clove, salt, pep
per, parsley and thyme to season. Re
heat six cupfuls of this stock, a*dd a
half cupful of cooked vermicelli, a
tablespoouful of chopped parsley, a
grating of nutmeg and the yolk of an
egg blended with a half cupful of
milk. Reheat but do not boil.
Saratoga Soup.
Strain and reheat one can of toma
toes. Add a half cupful of sago and
cook until the sago is clea-\ Add two
cupfuls of veal stock, ;«alt, pepper,
Worcestershire sauce to season, and
vhen boiling hot serve at once.
Chicken Broth.
Cut a chicken into small pieces and
put into a kettle with two tablespoon
fuls of peari barley, a pinch of cara
way seed and a head of lettuce cut
fine. Cover with two quarts of cold
water, simmer four hours, skimming

sieve, season to taste and serve.

Ever See a Fish’s “Soul”?
Look Right In His Face.
Fish can not sing or dance, or attend
dinner parties—except in an unfortu
nate capacity—but they have souls,
said Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of the
National Museum, before the Aqua
rium Society.
“If you want to know whether a cer
tain flsh i 3 kindly disposed to you,
look at its face,” advised Dr. Bartsch.
“The physiognomy of a fish reveals its
character, just in the same way that
a man’s most secret traits are Im
printed on his face.
“If a human being has a soul, why
not concede one to other animals? Man
is a physical organism, only different
from other organisms in that his is
more perfectly developed. It is certain
flsh are temperamental—some fish art*
sluggish, others are lively.”
The Whale and the Eagle.
There are two animals that puzzle
naturalists more than any others. They
are Nature’s submarine and aeroplane
—the whale and the eagle. It is known
that whales occasionally descend as
far as 3,000 feet below the surface of
the sea—a deDth at which, from the
pressure of water, they ought to be
crushed flat. Why they are not in
jured naturalists have yet to discov
er. It is this pressure that prevents
a modern submarine from descending
more than some 300 feet. Eagles have
been seen, through telescopes, to fly
with apparent ease from 30,000 to 10,-
000 feet above sea level. At that
height no human being can live, ow
ing to the rarefication of the air. How
the birds live and fly at far greater
heights than man can endure is an
other question still unanswered. —
Pearson’s Weekly.
Better Than Cavalry.
Motorcycles may supplant cavalry in
war. Compared with cavalry move- !
merits the motorcycle has done things
which seem incredible. On Memorial
day a report was received at Fort
Bliss of a bandit raid f>4 miles away, i
Exactly two hours later the motor- j
cycle company was on the spot.
A few weeks later another raid was :
reported 18 miles from Foi t Bliss. The
motorcycle company reached this place
in 30 minutes. The first trip would
have taken a troop of cavalry two days
and the second four hours.
WAKES FIGHT ON 'HOARDINGS'
English Newspaper Proud of Action
Which Does Away With These
Blots on the Landscape.
Under the head “Hideous Hoard
ings” we find an interesting note in a
daily paper of London wherein is
shown the subordination of the bill
board to the claims of the landscape.
England is as badly afflcted with bill
boards, largely advertising American
goods, as we are, and it must be quite
a relief to find even a single county
that bas relegated them to their prop
er place, for it would now seem as
though the latter is indefinitely Indi
cated by the following list of restric
tions taken from the London Dally
Graphic:
“In the campaign against hideous
hoardings the latest by-law to come
into force is the following, which was
promulgated by the Surrey county
council on Saturday: ‘No advertise
ment shall be exhibited on any hoard
ing, stand, or other erection so as to
be visible from any public highway
(whether carriageway, biidgeway or
footway), or from any public water
way (whether river, tributary or
canal), or from any railway, so as to
disfigure the natural beauty of the
landscape.' ”
Nature-Study Clubs.
Among the older children in com
mon schools there have been organ
ized a number of nature-study clubs,
the members making a business of
going afield Saturday and holidays to
study and collect. Sometimes the
teacher gees along, but more often by
far one or more of the mothers are
present. The object of these trips is
to get into closer touch with nature
than is possible at school—to really
see and come in contact with many of
the things only known at school
through hearsay. Some of the mem
bers of these clubs will be certaiu,
later in life, to distinguish themselves
in some branch of natural science, for
not. all can escape the lure of nature
or forever remain free from a close
sympathetic appreciation of its num
j berless charms
i '
Pioneers for Civic Problems.
All civic problems stand sorely in
need of pioneers to point the way and
create public sentiment in the educa
tion of the masses. The great and im
portant task of bringing the country
into the city, the unmasking of what
nature we have and preserving it in
the fullest and highest must necessar
ily be done by the municipal officials.
But the machinery of government on
all such matters moves slowly and a
strong and sound public opinion must
be formed and expressed in order to
push the work forward and influence
officials to tackle these problems cour
ageously and with a determination to
accomplish their proper solution
This they will do when assured great
numbers demand it Do not forget
that your help is needed.
