PREJUDICES. 
They Don% Mind Close Quarters—The 
Closer the Better. 
Of all the occupations known to 
men, entertaining a prejudice is 
the most absurd. Yet the practice 
is almost universal. 
The prejudice is usually uninvit- 
ed. He comes in quietly, removes 
his hat and coat, saunters up to the 
guest chamber and prepares to be- 
come a permanent feature of the 
establishment. You entertain him 
royally, strain him to your bosom, 
exhibit him proudly to every one, 
fight for him, defend him and per- 
petuate him. Yet you do not even 
admit that he is present. “I enter- 
tain a prejudice?” you say, with 
becoming concern. “Never!” 
Birds of a feather flock together. 
It therefore happens that if there 
is one prejudice present there are 
also others. They always come in 
unawares and take their places si- 
lently and unobtrusively. But, oh, 
how they hang together in an argu- 
ment! 
A group of prejudices is invinci- 
ble. They have never been beaten. 
The strange part of prejudices is 
that one would think they would 
prefer more commodious quarters. 
But, no; the narrower the mind the 
more content they are. ‘They don’t 
- mind close quarters. The closer the 
better. 
Prejudices are always busy. If 
they are not tampering with one’s 
eyesight they are screening the 
mind from the open—putting 
blinds on and making it dark 
enough to sleep in comfortably. 
A man can get insured against 
almost anything else but prejudices. 
He can insure himself against fire 
and water and loss of life and acci- 
dents and depreciation in his prop- 
erty. But there is no company so 
fortified that it would take the risk 
of insuring against prejudice. And, 
then, no man would ever think of 
taking out any insurance against 
one, because he would never admit 
that he had it. The prejudice him- 
self fixes that. The first thing he 
does is to make the man think he 
isn’t there. 
That is why prejudices, no mat- 
ter how much damage they cause 
to character, are never evicted. 
They have come to stay.—Thomas 
L. Masson in Lippincott’s. 
Just Like a Man. 
Mr. Hopperdyke, who had been 
slightly injured in a railway col- 
lision while on a trip away from 
home, found it necessary to make a 
oe ee ee 
¥ 
stop of a day or two to rest and re- 
pair damages. He was not much 
disabled, however, and he wrote a 
letter to his wife, telling her of the 
accident and assuring her that he 
was all right and that she need not 
have a moment’s uneasiness about 
him. 
When he had posted the letter 
an idea struck him, and he sent her 
the following telegram: 
Have been hurt in railroad accident. 
Letter on the way, which will explain. 
JOH 
Two days afterward he received 
this dispatch from her: 
Why on earth did you send that horrid 
telegram? LUCY. 
His reply was: 
I sent it to prepare you for the letter.

Dumas’ Mushrooms. 
A Paris contemporary, comment- 
ing on the little knowledge of 
French possessed by some Germans, 
relates a story of Alexandre Dumas 
pere, who knew little German. He 
found himself at an inn in Ger- 
man Switzerland. He exhausted his 
small stock of German in trying to 
make the waiter understand what 
dishes he required for dinner. One 
he could not make the man under- 
stand, so in despair the author of 
“Monte Cristo” called for a pencil 
and sketched what he _ wanted. 
Some minutes later the innkeeper 
himself appeared bearing a large 
open umbrella. Dumas had ordered 
mushrooms.—London Globe. 
Climatic Changes. 
There is indisputable evidence 
that the greater part of Europe was 
at one time covered with icebergs 
and glaciers and that an arctic cli- 
mate prevailed as far south as the 
shores of the Mediterranean. But 
there is also abundant proof that at 
a still earlier epoch not only Eu- 
rope, but the lands situated within 
the arctic circle, possessed a tropical 
climate, for the numerous fossil re- 
mains found in those regions are 
those of plants and animals which, 
according to the present state of 
our knowledge, must have lived un- 
der conditions now found only in 
the equatorial portions of the globe.
