Which Is Bringing Famo t. the Lit
tie Belgium Town of Ecaussines.
For the seventh time last week the
little town of Ecaussines, in Belgium.
held marriage fair, which was in
augurated in 1902 by the spinsters of
the place. These damsels had read
how in years past lover would plant
an elm or alder bush under the win
dows of his elected and if she looked
upon his attentions favorably she in
vited all her friends to celebrate their
betrothal by an open air "gouter." or
high tea"
The young Ecaussionoises met and
announced that they would every year
give ''gouter" to the young men of
the countryside. The aim and object
Of the annual fair, it was understood
by all, was wedlock, and all we're ask
ed to partake of the event
The first year there were many
young men who went to Ecaussines
"for the fun" of the thing But AZ
soon as the modest president had fin
ished her speech they became serious,
and 10 engagements were soon after
ward announced. Since then the num-
ber Of marriages has yearly increased
until there were so last year. Special
trains had to be scheduled to bring the
candidates from France, Germany and
Russia. Things came to such pass
that the girls of Ecaussines were un-
able to meet the demand for wives.
So this years president, Mile. Vie
torine Corbez, issued manifesto inn
ploring re-enfOrcements. In answer
to 1t came girls from Drabant and
Flanders to help out their sisters Of
the Hainault. And this years fair
made an epoch and the rate of this
internatlonaiZation of this amusing
fete of true love in embryo.

Seeing Ourselves,

The man who can pick out the best
picture of himself is rare bird" said
a photographer. Even an author, who
is reputedly poor Judge of his own
work, exercises vast wisdom in select
ing his best book compared with the
person who tries to choose his best pho
tograph. Every famous man or woman
who has been photographed repeatedly
has his favorite picture. Usually it is
the worst In the collection. 1t shows
him with an unnatural expression sit
ting or standing in an unnatural atti-
tude. The inability to judge of his
best picture must be due to the aver
age mans ignorance as to how he really
looks; or perhaps it can be partly at
tributed to a desire to look other than
he does. A stout man will swear that
the photograph most nearly like him is
the one that makes him look thin; a
thin man the one that makes him look
stout; the solemn man selects the jol-
liest picture; the jovial man the most
cadaverous. President Roosevelt is
about the only man whose favorite pic
ture Is the one most photographers
would pronounce the best, but then ex-
ceptional Judgment on his part is ex-
pected all along the line"

fast foods, patent medicines, tooth

with full and free consent. The ruling
is of the utmost importance. 1t is a
declaration from the loftiest fount of
justice that persons face is his own,
that nobody may feloniously, malicious
ly or otherwise employ your counten-
ance, handsome or plain, your figure,
stout or slim, with intent to boost some
article with which perhaps you have
only an intestinal acquaintance. If
every maker of pills, or packer of saw
dust, Is to use your illness as he sees
fit, then what is the use Of having an
individual face? Any old mug would
do, that of your homely neighbor, as
well as any. The New York courts are
an eminently sensible body.

Worlds Output of Metals.

A German metal company has COM
piled the following facts and figures
about the world production of metals
in 1907:
The production of copper showed a
decrease for the first time in fifteen
years, the total being 10000 tons. of
which the United States produced 421,-
400.
Lead production was about 992 800
tons, of which the United States pro-
duced 340,70O.
Tin mines yielded 9S,7OO tons; the
consumption was 101, 100, of which the
United States used 39,700.
The production of zinc was S,4OO
ns-226,S3S from the United States
and 20S,700 from Germany. The United
States also led in the consumption of
226,S3S tons, Germany using 174,9OO
and Great Britain 10000.
The nickel production was 14,1OO
tons and that of aluminium 1880 tons

In France and in Germany there is
much talk Of the growth of "an intel
lectual proetariat," of the oversupply
Of college graduates and professional
men, and the consequent inability Of
many Of these to earn even a modest
livelihood. There are those in the coun-
tries named who seriously hold that
the world is suffering from ''too much
education" and that not a few col
leges and professional schools might
well be closed and agricultural and in
dustrial schools substituted for them.
The United States is still the land of
opportunity. and while the average
man in any profession advises young
people to choose some other calling
and while it is notorious that many
lawyers, physicians and engineers earn
less than a skilled mechanic, we are in
no Immediate danger of an intellectual
proletariat. Yet even with us the Ques-
tiOn Of the relation of ability and edu-
cation to income is very interesting
one. An anonymous writer for the
Atlantic gives the results of little in
vestigation that he undertook some
years ago to determine the chances Of
pecuniary success, in professional life,
Of men Of exceptional gifts and attain
ments. He took the 10 per cent who
twenty years ago stood highest at grad
uation of q large class of a leading
university. He divided them into
groups and obtained accurate informa-
tion concerning their average incomes
since. The first group consisted Of pro-
fessors-heads and first assistants
and though all the members of this
group are well known to-day and have
| done good work as teachers and au-
thors the average salary is but S2,700
| and the average amount earned outside
| (by writing) Is but 5000. The second
| group, consisting of lawyers and doc
tors mainly, shows an average annual
income per member Of $4,000. No one
reported less than $1,000. The third
group is miscellaneous, and consists OF
clergymen, men who were obliged to
abandon their first callings and make
fresh starts, and men whose careers
have suffered interruption. The aver.
age salary in this group is $1,000
These incomes, beside those derived
from business, are declared to be rath.
er small. So they are, and for many
Of the married men in these groups
they spell "the. simple life" and much
self-denial But 1t has long been a
commonplace that few men acquire
riches in the professions, and that the
rewards of ability in the liberal call
ings generally assume other than finan
cial FORMS

1t would seem that there has been
hardly any stronger argument adduced
in favor Of postal savings banks than
these figures, showing how much money

S10,000,OO0 to Russia, in postal orders.
That money was all earned here, and
Of course, the men who earned it had q

Siberian capitalists have arranged

The picturesque name Of Storm-nose
(Gewitternase) is given in Germany to
the wave Of high barometric pressure
which often precedes storm or
heavy squall. The barometer rises sud-
denly, and then falls more gradually.
1t is believed that this phenomenon Is
responsible for sudden changes in the
level of the sea. Observations on the
seas surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change of level
thus produced sometimes amounts to no
less than three feet
According to MeSsrs Henriet and
Bonyssy, ozone Is produced by the
ultraviolet rays of the sun in the upper
/ atmosphere, and the amount contained
in the air near the ground increases
when air currents descend from the
upper regions. 1t has been observed
that there is a reduction of the pro-
! portion of carbonic acid in the air
when the amount of ozone increases.
& This is regarded as an indirect effect
due to dilution of the lower air by the
purer air descending from above
An herb, called by the natives caa
che, but botanically Eupatorium rebau-
dianum, grows wild in Paraguay. 1t
is remarkable for it's sweetness. In
deed, the native name means the sugar
plant" 1t grows along the borders Of
the river Amambahi, and attains
height of only about five inches. The
smallest bit of this plant when placed
upon the tongue produces a surprising
ly sweet SAVIOR, which, it is said. lasts
for hours. The saccharine power is
much greater than that of sugar Re-
cent investigation indicates that the
nectareous element in this plant close
. ly resembles that of the licorice root.
Among the 'young sciences" now
being developed stands plant pathology,
which Is intended to be for plants
what medical science is for man. Few
people realize, says DR.. e. S. Reynolds,
the large loss of money caused every
year by plant diseases, and fewer vet
know that much has already been done
to diminish this loss. A conservative
estimate of the annual loss through the
bitter rot of apples in this country Is
S10OOOOOO. By proper spraying meth
Ods 80 per cent of the loss from peach
yellows has been saved. Oat smut has
nearly lost its terrors. Curious facts
