LOVE UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Cupid's Task Is Not n Pleasant One
I'm spain and Italy.

In spain and Italy.
That all the world loves a lover ha
been evidenced by the worldwide IN
terest that has been manifested In thu
courtshlps and marriages which hav'
recently taken place In leading officia
circles Of this country and In royal cir
Giles abroad. Every movement of the
happy persons involved in these incl
dents has afforded entertainment for
the world at large.
Undoubtedly the lot of the American
lover Is the happiest Of all We hear
a great deal of the romance OF Spanish
love-making. Of serenades and whls-
pered conversations, of fan talk and
the flashing OF dark eyes from the
shattered balcony above.
But the Spanish or Italian lover
would tell you that this is all moon
shine and that there is mighty little
romance in leaning against wall in
a draughty, narrow street, with the
mistral, or the levanter-whlch at
home we know prosaically enough as
the east wind-cuttlng ones liver into
sole leather and driving through the
thlckest cloak that the local tailor can
turn out
And this is what the Spanish or Ital-
Ian lover has to put up with. 1t is
not the custom to invite him In to tea.
and pretty well until the banns are up
he Is expected TO do all his love-mak-
Ing from the curbstone. So II happens
that Spanish street at night is lined
on either hand by mysterious figures,
who appear to be gllded against the
white walls like flies on "catch-em-

At first, the nervous tourist will but

sight of these dim figures, cloaked 70 |

cry drama he has ever seen, and as
The streets echo with their soft whIs-
perlngs, he imagines that they are con-

But no such thing Were he an in

In higher education England is GER
tainly the equal If not the superior Of
this country, but the benefits of that
education are necessarily limited, and
limited, by the way, to those who have
no pressing need for 1t. In the matter
Of common schools, however, we have
done for our people what no countrv In
Eurpe has yet attempted. The results
have naturally been an Industrial and
commercial forwardness that has made
us sometimes the admiration and some
times the envy Of the Engllsh.-St.

Fire and Water,

Why does water put out fire? Water
reduces the temperature OF the flame
below the point of ignition; therefore it
cannot burn. Water does not smother
the flames even when the burning
brand is completely immersed In
tank of water, because the first con-
TACT puts out the fire-that Is, reduces
the temperature of the fame below the
point Of Ignition.

met They made no impression on her,
however, 1t being apparent !. that her
chief object in associating with them
was to make a psychological study
of them. She was of an exceedingly

gave no sign Of talent. It was only
those who knew her well to whom the
brilliancy of her mind was apparent.
For some four years she had been
contributing to various coast maya
zines. and some Of her verse had found
its way into eastern publications. She
had sure and beautiful touch in her
