Marriage and Incompatibility.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Incompatiblity may cover a persistent
and irritating divergence Of habit or prefer
ence In regard to almost anything between
two people 1t has to be between two-one
alone cannot be Incompatible, any more
than one alone can make quarrel What
one does that is irritating the other must
outwardly or inwardly resent. An incom-
patible husband means also an incompati-
BILE wife.
I think one of the oldest things In life is
the fact that 1t is so hard to get used to
the idea that certain things are going to per-
sist in continually happening whether one
likes them not. We don't get over our own
peculiar or insistent habits; we made no eff
fort to remove them, but we are continually
expecting the other person to make the eff
fort and on our account. 1t may be daily
irritant that he doesn't I knew a good wife
once, who was fond Of her husband and adj
mired him. He was clever. well-educated
man, but he couldn't spell. You never knew
when he would write in letter that he had
York a week ago." 1t made no difference
that he was shown his errors; he always in
diligently understood; but when 1t came to
practice he simply couldn't spell correctly.
And his wife could never get 1t through her
head that the deficiency was for all time,
that he would never remedy 1t by any applf-
cation to study. He was very delightful
kind affectionate husband, but on this
point she could never have any satisfaction.
And it not only worried and mortified her
Gaily, but 1t also seemed to be continual
surprise to her-something she could not
get used to.

WOOD RAT TYPIFIES MAN.
He is Small, but His Acquisitiveness
in Unsuitable.

From the Montreal Star.
Too many Americans have the wood rat
instinct" The wood rat, the animal is a
native of southern Oregon, but the wood rat
typified in man is not restricted to any
small section of state or nation but Is
wellnigh universal.
The wood rat is small, no larger than a
common rat, but his ambition and ac-
qusitiveness are Unsuitable. His one insane
desire seems to be to increase the size of his
pile of sticks. The neighboring field is
placed under tribute. First all the nearby
sticks are gathered into the pile. Then, as
these are cleaned up, he goes farther and
farther away from home. and every twig is
eagerly seized upon to increase the size of
his pie of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile Of sticks as
a refuge in time of trouble On the first
sound of alarm he rushes for the pile and
crawlS underneath 1t is here that he often
finds his destruction, for a summer fire
sometimes sweeps through the woods, and
the wood rats pile of sticks makes a VERT
able furnace. The larger the pile the hot
ter the fire, and thus he has piled up the
means of his own agony.
We do not need to carry the comparison
any further; the lesson is obvious, but still
many of do not appear to realize that
we are like the wood rat, worshiping a pile
of sticks. We marry a man because of the
size of his pile Of sticks, and not from an
innate attractiveneSS We call this man
success because he can gather sticks faster
than any Of his companions. We call this
man sharp and "shrewd'' because, after
felowworker has laboriously made
huge pile, he steps in and Gusts his fellow
from the pile and appropriates all the sticks
for his own.
Let us take warning from the wood rat
and the summer fire-the larger the pile of
sticks the fiercer burns the fire when the
time of destruction finally arrives.

Sculptures Of Early Americans on the
Tikal Temples in Yucatan.

Sculptures of Early Americans on the
Tikal Temples in Yucatan.
From the Craftsman
Reading the engravings on the temples
and pyramids themselves, noteworthy for
their ferocious subjects and brutal ex-
preston, one concludes that this strange
lost race rivaled Rome under Nero in max
ing fine art of cruelty. Their campaigns
of conquest and defense as portrayed by
their sculptors were short. sharp and san
culinary No pity appears to have been
shown to the vanquished, nor any quar-
ter, and what could not be pillaged was
destroyed. This undoubtedly explains the
number of devastated cities rebuilt, and
new tombs or temples erected after each
war.
have been discovered no foundries or
FORCES among them-the Magyar weapons
of finely carved and tempered stone and
iron-hard wood were vastly superior to
anything welded by their contemporaries
on the north. The dress Of the mobiles,
both men and women. consisted. so far as
evidenced, of loose flowing tunics and a
sort Of toga dyed rather brilliantly. accord
ing to Indian predictions. The hair was
worn short, cut In fringe on the forehead
or worse. There is Incidental ale evidence that
squirting. curiously enough, was fashion
habit by suffering a tuft of hair to trail
over their eyes.
Among many Interesting stelae pictured
by the Psychologists is one showing an
erect human figure in facsimile. Wearing
an elaborate headdress, with fantastic or
naments and exaggerated feathers thi I
craven image bears In one hand a scepter
tipped with feathers and in the other a
shield. There are the usual fringed cape,
heavy collar and a large medallion, under
which Is seen a rich mantle. reaching al
most to the feet carriers, buckles and shoes
or sandals. Under an inscription are some
symbolic decorations, and toward the lower
extremity are two vivid human profiles
Under one inscription Is figure with mon
strous head, resting on stool, which ap-
pears to be emblazoned Clearly this i'm
pressive bas relief belonged to a temple
Of the sun, the sun apparently being a
Mayan deity, SO far as one can judge of
their religion.
Other panels show the heads Of tigers
orately carved. AS these heads still pre-
serve a semblance Of coloring when seen
under the glass, as do numerous carved
serpents depicted crawling over human
victims the Magyar sculptors and artists
must have been versed In the chemistry Of
pigments.
Besides pictures Of martial and sacri-
fetal life. of monarchs and the national OBJ
servances Of this vanished race, it's every
day pursuits are shown in many instances.
Here a man Is filling the soil, there an
other bartering for trinkets and so on.
When all these stelae deciphered 1t
Is imagined that an adequate history Of
the people will be unfolded.

Preserved Grapes.

Grapes are too seedy, well rich In
juices. to be preserved, excepting in the
form of jam, either plain or spiced, To
prepare the grapes for these forms of pre-
serving, pick from the STEMS wash and

IN one preserving kettle and the pulp in
another together with any Juice that has
run from the grapes. Let them cook fife

strain the pulp through a PURGE sieve to
