~ TEMPERAMENTS. 
They Divide the Human Family Into 
Five Great Classes. 
The physician of a former gen- 
eration used to talk much of the 
“temperament” of his patients— 
that is to say, the predominant type 
of physical constitution possessed 
by each. He studied this permanent 
temperament fully as carefully as 
he did the disease temporarily pres- 
ent before deciding upon the line 
of treatment to be adopted. 
Even today, although the physi- 
cian speaks less of temperaments 
and diatheses and perhaps would be 
at a loss to tell the names by which 
they were formerly designated, he 
by no means ignores the physical 
From 
the viewpoint of temperament one 
may regard the human family as di- 
vided into five great classes, al- 
though few ‘belong solely to one 
type. Most persons have a mixture 
of two or more, being classified 
rather by the one which predom- 
inates. 
The first of these temperaments 
is the lymphatic or phlegmatic. In 
this the individuals are of a quiet, 
rather inert disposition. They move 
slowly, but they move surely. They 
are usually dependable people, true 
to their word and faithful to per- 
form the duties assigned to them. 
A second type, in many ways the 
direct opposite of the first, is the 
nervous temperament. ‘These per- 
sons are quick in their movements, 
energetic in work and in play, 
strenuous, but often without stay- 
ing power. What they accomplish 
they accomplish quickly. 
The third type is the gouty, san- 
guine or rheumatic. The individ- 
uals of this group are of floral com- 
plexion, frank and jovial disposi- 
tion, good eaters and sleepers and 
“never sick.” But in later life they 
pay for their previous health by 
gouty attacks, and when attacked 
by serious illness they are likely to 
succumb quickly. 
Persons of the bilious tempera- 
ment are poor assimilators of food. 
They suffer from intestinal indiges- 
tion, which leads to repeated at- 
“billiousness.’ All the 
processes of secretion and excretion 
are sluggishly performed. 
The fifth temperament is the 
strumous. These people have poor 
digestion and defective reparative 
power, little cuts and scratches 
healing slowly. They are always 
“catching” whatever contagious 
disease is about. They lack firm- 
nessof texture, The glands in the 
neck, in the armpits and in the 
groins frequently become enlarged. 
The treatment of the same dis- 
ease in persons of different temper- 
aments often varies greatly, and 
hence the importance of the study 
and power to recognize the five 
distinct temperaments. — Youth’s

Marriage Deals In France. 
French marriages turn out sur- 
prisingly successful, although they 
are generally arranged by the par- 
ents of the bride and bridegroom. 
In some parts of provincial France 
the wishes of a man or a maid are 
as often not taken into considera- 
tion by the parents “making the 
deal.” In one province a lover, 
after declaring his passion, may re- 
ceive, while sitting at dinner at the 
house of his beloved, from her 
hands a plate of pea soup into 
which she has grated some cheese. 
He relishes that soup, for the 
grated cheese means that he has 
been accepted. If his addresses to 
the young woman are not welcome 
he finds that some one has placed a 
stinging nettle and some oats in his 
pocket. Another unmistakable sign 
is when the young woman turns the 
blackened end of a poker toward 
him.—New York Tribune. 
Eastern Funereal Pomp. 
When a rich and important Chi- 
naman dies his funeral is conducted 
with much pomp and splendor. His 
friends and relations instead of 
sending wreaths send innumerable 
banners. These are made of white 
silk with inscriptions beautifully 
worked in black velvet and express 
the senders’ good wishes to the de- 
ceased himself or to the members 
of his family for many generations. 
On the day of the funeral these 
banners are carried by hired men, 
who are all dressed alike for the oc- 
casion. After the funeral is over 
the banners are all brought back 
and eventually grace the rooms of 
the late Chinaman’s house. 
An Easy Way Out. 
“Here, you,” said the conductor, 
“you rang up a fare. Do that ag’in 
and [ll put you off!” 
The small man standing in the 
middle of the crowded car promptly 
rang up another fare. Thereupon 
the conductor projected him 
through the crowd and to the edge 
of the platform. 
“Thanks,” said the little man. 
“T did not see any other way to get 
out. Here’s your dime,”—Success
