HOW UGLY MEN WIN BEAUTIES
Canadian Lecturer Ascribes Peculiar Choice Often Made by Girls as
 "Slind Psychic Impulse"

Chicago.-Several Chicagoans have found out why it is that so many beau tiful women marry ugly men. They had noticed this fact before, but it awaited the explanation of Dr. H. F. Cameron of McGill university, Can ada, who cleared up the mystery in lecture to the class in sociology at the University of Chicago.
 The real reason is what Dr. Gamer on describes as blind psychic i'm pulse" But, he says in spite of the blindness of said impulse, it often strikes the right trail to a fat bank account, or lucid, sharp sense of humor, or manners and good breeding, which compensate for the mere phy- sical ugliness of the lucky men.
 Persons like J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, as well as gen. tlemen of blue blood" were among those whom Dr. Cameron described in his lecture as having overcome the handicap of slight personal pulchri tude in their race for the girls of their choice.

Now, William" the old farmer said to his new apprentice, T want thee to mind what I do say to thee, to be sharp and attentive and to delay not in carrying out my instructions"
 "Ay, ay, zur," replied William.
 First, now, I want thee to take out the old white mare and have her shod."
 "Ay, ay, zur," said William, and de- parted.
 He returned two hours later and the old farmer questioned him.
 Thee hast not been quick, lad" he said, reprovingly, but If thee hast done thy work as I ordered thee thou shalt be forgiven. Didst thee have the mare shod, as I telled thee?"
 "Ay, ay, zuri" replied William, beaming. "Didst thou not hear the gun? I shot her myself and I've just buried her."-London Answers.

Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious problem tuberculosis is to the ordi- nary church congregation have been issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- culosis. From reports received from over 725 churches, with a membership of over 312,000 communicants of twenty denominations, and from POS cities and towns in 12 states in vari- ous parts of the country, out of nearly 1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10 per cent, were caused by tuberculosis. This means PA deaths for every thou- sand members or communicants. While the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis compared with other dis eases is not higher in the churches, according to these figures, than in the, country at large, the tuberculosis death rate, as shown by the church returns, is higher per thousand com municants than that for the general population in the registration area of the United States, which the census bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

tailers in all parts of the country.

tailers in all parts of the country. Continuing his previous habits of study, your boy will find here oppor- tunity to exercise all the brains he pos sesses. He will not only be in compe- tition with the other offices in the city, but this competition will extend to the mills, as well as to the retailers; for 1t Is quite as important to be able to buy cheaply as to sell for high fig | ure. Many mills follow the custom of loading cars with their product and shipping them to some transfer point on the speculation that there will be a demand somewhere nearby by the time the car reaches its destination wholesalers also do this, frequently having hundreds of cars in various parts of their selling district which may be diverted quickly to yard or other buyer not far away, thus ma king hit with the buyer on account of the quick delivery, and getting their money quickly.
 Wholesalers also maintain the closest possible relations with mills turning out the kind of product they handle; some of them, indeed, having actual definite relations with certain mills to handle all their product. Thus, your boy, who is now a matured man of 23 to 25, and Is drawing a sal ary of perhaps $125 a month, will be chosen to make the annual or semi annual visit the firm pays to the mills, spending several weeks looking into manufacturing conditions and sign- ing contracts.
 This gives him personal standing with the mill men and also close knowledge of the general phases of manufacturing cost, output, freight rates to various points, the probable production and Its influence on prices, etc. Also he has been visiting the re- tail dealers that handle this lumber and knows just as intimately all their requirements in the way of prices, quantity, etc. So he has become the keen, able connecting link between producer and consumer
 Don't you see what big future there is in store for him? Before long he will likely start in a firm of his own, with an associate or two one of them devoting himself to the selling and the other to the buying end. He will not require much money to do this. for he has established credit with the mill men, and can sell to retailers before he has to pay the manufac- turer.
 From here on his line of work will be what he chooses to make t. As he has set out to be a real luml,erman, with a mill of his own, he will look for opportunities to get into some manufacturing firm. This may come through an offer to be eastern selling representative of a large mill, placing all it's product, and later on to go to that mill as resident manager of the sales department, the biggest end of the business, and, ultimately, by the time he is 35 or 40 he will have oppor- tunity to be taken in as a member of that or some other firm.
 Thus he becomes one of the import ant members of one of the largest de- partments of industrial life in the world, with the high social and busi- ness standing he deserves and abun- dant financial reward.

Debts and Mar.

Russia and Turkey have agreed to submit to the arbitration of The Hague Tribunal their differences over debts due to Russian subjects from Turks at the outbreak of the war in 1877. War, according to the views held by the older jurists, annuls all contracts and obligations between citizens of the belligerent states At the present stage of civilization this severe rule is no longer applied with strictness; of course, intercourse be- tween citizens of warning nations is suspended during the continuance of hostilities, but non-combatant enc mics are no longer expelled because of their nationality, and on the return of peace normal relations between in dividual citizens of the belligerents are resumed. It was not to have been expected that the Hamidian regime in Turkey would adopt this enlight- ened attitude; nor has the exact point involved ever been definitely deter mined by any international authority. The judgment of The Hague tribunal would be the first authority ruling on the subject.

 Echo river is a feature of the cave that especially attracts the scientist The cave is In five tiers or stories, and at the lowest of these the river is reached. It is about 270 feet below the surface of the earth, and comes no one knows whence, and goes-no one knows where Only a small DOT tion of the river is accessible to visit ors, and that only during the dry sea son. During the heavy rains of spring and autumn, this mysterious stream fills to the top of the great River Hall, plotting out the Dead Sea and the River Styx, which are parts of this underground stream. It is pos sible, under favorable conditions, to traverse it for a half mile in the low, flat-bottomed boats, which ply on its surface. The acoustic properties of the walls rising from it, and arching above it, are well-nigh perfect, and it's wonderful echoes are an unfailing source of amusement to the merry travellers that cross it, in constant wonder at its teeming horde of sight less fishes, crustaceans. leeches, beetles and crickets. What need of even rudimentary eyes for those creatures, doomed to dwell in per petual night?

 No one will undertake to say how long Mrs Green will remain at the Waldorf For there were predictions when she moved i-to the Plaza a lit tie over a year ago that she had thrown economy to the winds. She had done nothing of the kind. High life palled on her and she went back.

Is WONDROUS PLACE
Famous Mammoth Cave Reveals
 Some New Wonders.
"Violet City" Discovered in Recent Explorations, Is So Called From Violet Tint of Walls Reflected
 by Lights of Guides.

Louisville, Ky.-Recent exploration has revealed new wonders in the fa- nous Mammoth cave of Kentucky. among which is beautiful Violet City" and it is confidently expected that further exploration now in prog ress will result in many discoveries of new wonders in this underground world of mystery. The Violet City, is so csIled from the beautiful violet tint of the walls reiecting the glim- mering light carried by the guides. The bridal altar is another feature which attracts much attention and be- fore it a number of marriages have taken place.
 Mammoth cave, which is situated in Edmonson county, Central Kentucky, near Green river has been one of the worlds marvels ever since it's discov- cry in 1909 by hunter who, accord ing to tradition, pursued a wounded bear into the yawning mouth of the cavern. Since that time it has been the mecca for tourists from all parts of the world.
 The early history of the cave is largely concerned with the history of the manufacture of gunpowder. This great industry was inaugurated in Kentucky, early in the nineteenth century, and the War of 1872, with its embargo on foreign commerce, great ly increased the importance of Nam moth cave, as a center whence this all-important product might be pro- duced. Vast quantities of soil, charged with lime nitrate, were found and mined; and Philadelphia and Lexington capitalists controlled the cavern, and it's exploration went on with a viaw +n cacurino for nrac+icol

Keep on folding this bias about four inches across until you have fold ed about all you think you require. pinning occasionally to keep even. Then mark across the bias the de- sired width you want your folds and cut across with sharp shears.

No one of the party was armed, but Null Ter conceived the idea of capturing one of the animals alive. He jumped from the automobile and sneaked up to the herd AS he got within strik ing distance of young buck the ami nal let fly with his heels and caught Muller squarely on the chin. That ended the chase. It was five minutes before the deer chaser could be re- suscitated and the trip resumed.
