GERMS And HYSTERIA

This is a common mood OF 'oacne-
lors'' at 25. Sometimes 1t is the result
of having loved, and loved, and loved
again. with that fervor of boyhood tnat
has so much ina agination in 1t that IL
Is foredoomed to early disillusionment-
Occasionally it is matter of mascu-
fine egotism which looks down on rem
ininity with as grand an air as a Mill
top overshadowing valley. or IL may
be sober incredulity about the worth
of any experience which the senses can
not comprehend.
Since there are always girls who are
equally cynical through disappointment
in some early love affair-who have

there is in them no element Of parental

cannot believe that such a marriage
as this is a good marriage. IT is an
all-round injustice. an injustice to the
man, an injustice TO the woman, and
an injustice to their children. to whom
are denied the blessed birthright Of
loves heritage. A home cannot be
founded successfully on strictly busi-

business methods.

Buffalo Bill,

That you, so proud and naughty,
Have such a fad
For things so bad
And act so awful naughty.
Buffalo Bill,
You are a pill
And you are much to blame, sir.
You're raising Ned
Go hide your head
And blush for very shame, sir.

And not stir uD such trouble,
For fame is brief
And, to your grief,

The Rriton and washing.

We have come to look upon water as
meant primarily to wash in, as an AID
| to ablution rather than a thing of beau
ty. A story of a Somersetshire peas
ant will illustrate what we mean. The
individual in question had never seen
the sea until he was taken to Weston
super-Mare on q choir treat eXcur-
sion. Naturally the vicar, the curate
and the rest of the tenors, trebles and
basses as soon as the ~esplanade was
reached gathered around to see how
the first sight of the ocean would strike
the natural man. Will it be believed
that the words struck from him by the
view of "the unfurrowed deep lying
in vast expanse before his eyes were
these: of I'd known what her were
like, I'd have brought down a bit OF
soap and had a good wash The iron,
or, rather, the soap, had entered 50
deeply into his soul that he could only
conceive the sea as a huge washing
place.-London Spectator.

wnSner's Shorn Locks.

became afflicted with headaches and
determined to have his hair cut. He
accordingly arranged with Il barber TO
perform the operation on q certain day,
That worthy resolved to make a good

toners Of W'agner's impending sacrf=
fee. Most of them paid him a certain
sum down in advance to make sure Of
a lock Of the great musicians hair. To
the BARRIERS horror Nine. Wagner SUI
perintended the cutting and when it
was over appropriated the whole OF
the coveted locks. The barber, in de-
spain, confessed that he had sold them
many times over, Whereupon madam
suggested that her butcher had hair
very much like Wagner's, And the
story goes that that night half ORES
den slept with the butchers hair IN
der its pillow.

made of %porphyry, agates, carneli0n,
quartz, crystals, garEets, chrysolite
and other such beautiful materials.
They are packed together SO that the
surface composed of them is like q
floor, and they look as if pressed into
it with a roller. As q rule. they aro
of nearly uniform size, and each one IS
polished brilliantly, as if oiled and rub
bed. Most Of them are perfect spheres,
and the reflection from them of the
suns rays is gorgeous beyond dascrip-
ton. Each onveX surface gives back
q ray of light, and the ground for
miles seems as if literally paved With
gems, Thus the whole surface of the
plain is q combination of myriads of
retlectors, each pebble being so highly
polished that it Is like a mirror, and il
Is believed that the lakes of the desert

The First Friction Matches.

The first really practicable friction
matches were made by an English
apothecary named Walker in 1921. He
coated splints Of cardboard with sui
phur and tipped them with a mixture
Of sulphate of anthony, chlorate Of
potash and gum. Each box, holding
%eighty-four matches and sold for a
shilling, contained also a folded piece
Of glass paper, which was to be pressed
together while the match was drawn
through it. Three years later another
ingenious person named Jones in Lon
don patented the idea Of making a
small roll of paper, soaked with chic
rate Of potash and sugar at n end,
with a thin glass globule filled with
strong sulphuric acid attached at the
same point. When the sulphuric acid
was liberated by pinching the globule
it acted Upon the chlorate Of potash
and sugar SO as to produce fire.
