A pretty young married woman said
- friend the other day: MARY is
such an Old fashioned wife She has
such queer notions about her duty to
hey husband and home. Why. she de-
cliucs all invitations unless he is in

returns at night.
Then she always gets up To break
fast with him and even goes 50 far as
To prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead of leaving such fussiness
to the cook. She does not 90 away in
the summer until he is able to 20, too,
and, in fact, she fusses over him in

RESTAURANTS.
They Came Into being with the
First French Revolution.

They Came Into BeinR with the
First French Revolution.
The restaurant Is Of comparatively
modern origin. The first French revolu-
ton, at the close OF the eighteenth cen
tury, witnessed its birth. Prior to that
time the best cooks were i'm the employ
of the nobility, whose ruin threatened
them with equal disaster A happy in
spiration, however, led them TO open
places of public entertainment, which
leaped at once into immense popular
favor, inasmuch as previously, while
the French people were endowed with
the instincts Of delicate cookery, they
were unable to crafty their tastes
through the absence of resorts availa-
bic for the purpose.
The proprietors of many Of these es-
tablishments quickly acquired n wide
spread fame and large wealth. Coin
cident with the birth Of the restaurant
In France, an immense impulse was
given TO the publication of popular
treatses on the art Of cookery com
posed by the most famous cooks. These
were rapidly disseminated among the
people, who, gifted with n natural gen
ius for gastronomy promptly avalled
Of the new sources OF knowledge to
perfect themselves i'm nm art Of which
they have become the foremost expo
nents OF the world. Among these pub
lcatlons was the "Almanach des Gour-
mand9," established I'm 1904, one of the
classics of culinary learning.

vunlOSITIES OF SUICIDE.
Trivial Conditions That Have Led Up
Ia Self Destruction.

tD StlI
IL Is a strange fact that nearly all
great men have tinge Of melancholy
In their blood and are subject at times

he would have blown his brains out
but for the reflection that IL would give
pleasure TO his mother-in-law.
The reasons for self destruction are
often very curious. Men have frequent
ly been known TO put an end 10 their
lives TO escape toothache or other
pains, while the dread OF disease has
been known to affect the mind to such
an extent that the victim has destroyed
himself rather than face IT, WEAKNESS
Of money and good things TO eat have
been the cause Of suicide. One man
drowned himself I'm the Seine because
Of the color Of his hair, which was
1axcn, and another shot himself be
cause his clothes did not fit him. A girl
threw herself into the Danube because
her companions laughed at her corpu-
lence and Frenchman took poison to
spite his mother-in-law because she in
sisted upon living with him.

INSECT MORAL QUALITIES.
Ants and Bces Display nm Extrnor-
Jinary Sense of Duty.

There are insects, mostly parasitic,
which, like some men, only desire TO
eat and drink, but among the social
insects, such as ants and bees, there
Is high development OF moral quail
ties, to which Haeckel goes the length
OF applying the term "soul life" to dis
tinguiSh them from mere instinct.
Thus patriotism Is obviously virtue
among ants, for If an ant hill is dis
turbod the inmates never attempt TO
escape from danger, but apply them
selves Immediately TO rescue the lives
and property of the community MS n
whole. Respect for law and order Is
also very strongly marked in some
communities of ants, which include
soldiers and workers, peasants and ar
tisans, governors and slaves.
Bees have an extraordinary sense Of
duty. Huber noted relays of them sup
porting n fragment Of comb which
threatened to fall without one single
bee flinching or leaving It's post until
relieved by another Loyalty to the
queen is another distinct moral quail

Our Misnamed Quail.

Americas typical game bird. the
quail. is not named correctly at all. ac-
cordlng to the government ornitholo-
gist He says that the real quail is the
quail OF the Bible and that this Is n
bird belonging exclusively 20 the old
world. The true quail does not occur
In America at all. In many parts Of
this country the American bird Is
known as partridge. but the American
partridge Is really the ruffed grouse
and the true partridge again Is anothei
old world bird and not American. He
thinks that the name given TO it In
many localities. "bobwhltc." is as good
ss any. The name comes from the cry
Of the bird. which IL something like
"bobwhite. bobwhlte. bobwhite."
