WAYS OF counr1Na.

ally Manages to Make Selection.
new Idea in courtship is con-
tanned In the story of the Redwood
City man. says the San Francisco
Chronicle, who pursued his inamorata
and his rival in an automobile, tried
to board their car armed with "a pts,
toll and sheath knife, and, although
defeated In the melee which followed,
ultimately took the young woman to
San Rafael and married her. or
course tradition has it that man al
ways was the pursuer and woman the
pursued, but recently man has been
stripped of his conceit and relegated
to his proper place
To the mind of Alfred Fred Won
Hofen man is still the pursuer and
woman the object of pursuit. 1t Is
consoling thought for the sterner
sex to believe that counting is con
trolled by the same Judgment ano
method of procedure that characterizes
his business activity. 1t fits into his
philosophy of life and distinguishes
him from woman.
And yet. after all. is this not de.
fusion? Man is never happier than
when deceiving himself in matters OF
love. Hence. by the way, the bliss OF
counting. A man thinks he wades into
love with his eyes open. But does he?
Is he not, on the contrary. led?
Take the Redwood City case. Here
the woman resorted to no such crude
method as to awaken the suspicion of
Won Hofen that he was the man she
sought for a husband That might
have wounded his delicate sensibili
ties; accordingly she went for an all
tomobile ride with the other man
taking care. 1t may be hazarded, to
let Won Hofen gain an inkling of what
was afoot. That .afforded him later
an excuse for imagining that he was
the one who made the selection.
There are different ways of achiev-
ing the same object. and how wom-
an does It all no man knows, nor will
he ever know. 1t is an art exclusive
ly feminine. And as. take 1t all in
all, it has probably increased human
happiness and made the world better,
why should we wish to penetrate this
veil of mystery?

All Eyes ON Hnlley's Come


An interesting variety of opinions
have found their way into the press IN
regard to the nature and possible in
fiuences of Halley's comet which is
due to approach nearest to the earth on
May 16. and on which the eyes of the
whole scientific world are now center
ed Prof Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes
Observatory in Wisconsin says: Hal
ley's comet is about 100000 times MS
large as the earth. but although the
earth's gravity may change the orbit
of the comet, the earth's path through
the sky will be unaffected by the APP
preaching proximity of the two bodies"
He points out that the comet is gas
eous and its mass comparatively slight
and that. therefore. its attraction will
not affect the planets while the solid
heavy planets are likely to affect the
comet great deal. Prof. Edwin Booth,
of the department of chemistry at the
University of California says that If
the astronomers are right in their es-
timation of the amount of cyanogen
gas in the tail of the comet, we may
have chance to feel the sensation of
the bugs and insects that are being
killed by this same gas. He says we
will be all snuffed out II enough of this
gas unites with the oxygen of the
earth's atmosphere. The astronomical
and Astrophysical Society of America
is eQuipping an expedition, under Fred
eric Ellerman of the Pasadena Observ-
atory. which will take observations of
the comet from the Hawaiian Islands.

Hogs this week sold at the Chicago
stockyards at the highest market price
since Chicago began making prices for
the world. Why the hog crop is short
requires going back some years to ex-
plain, to the ruinous markets of two
years ago. when the packets set the
price at 81 to $3.50 for what they now
are giving So to s9.26. At the prices
two years ago the hog producers had
no profits, and that years porcine crop
passed into the packers hands under
cost of, production. In consequence.
many farmers went out of the business
of producing hogs. and it is stated that
until few months ago breeding stock
was relentlessly shipped to market.
The natural result is a famine in hogs.
The Chicago packers. If this analysis
be true, and 1t is that of the experts,
have themselves to blame. In their
greed. when the opportunity occurred.
they forbade the farmer his profit. Now
the inevitable punishment retaliates
upon the packers. who are forced TO
pay the farmer an exorbitant profit. If
the packers had been pound-wise and
not penny-foolish. they would always
have allowed the producer reasonable
profit and would have avoided the
present famine prices. The packers,
moreover will now suffer a condem-
nation of public opinion. They We're
not in the publics good graces hs
things We're. They are much less like
ly to be in those good graces when the
effec. in full of the hog famine which
they have created. is felt by the con-
sumers.-Minneapol Journal.

Quite apart from the interest of fun

cannot here be resisted to refer to a
method of procuring one kind of fun
gus, which might take rank among

originating in France, of procuring the

can hardly be imagined. The truffle

them by roofing in the earth. After
the discovery of the truffles the dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from devouring the

sportsman of skill and Judgment is

sired result from the efforts of herd
of swine and pack of hounds.-Lon
