TIE TALE OF a PAIL.

The big problem Of manufacturers OF
food products has been to devise a
package for their products which will
insure the housewife getting them sweet
fresh, without deterioration.
In this connection very ingenious
package has been invented for the pro-
lection of Cotto!enc. The pals inwhich
this cooking fat is packed (it is never
sold in bulk) have special cover forced
on by machinery and then sealed. This
makes the pail absolutely alright, and
Cottolene will keep indefinitely as fresh
and as sweet as the day it was made.

An able woman writer has been lament
ing lately mans dislike OF feminine In
tellectuality and his production for the
Ordinary" woman. But is this true of
men collectively? II is undoubtedly cor
rect as regards a very large number Of
the male sex. The average man is an
ordinary" person and he is consequently
attracted by the average woman who Is
also an ordinary" person. On the other
hand. men who are "Out of the ordinary, a"
as the phrase goes. are often attracted
by women OF exceptional mental equip
ments. George Sand may be cited as an
Instance OF woman. who. though not
possessed OF any remarkable personal
beauty. yet exercised an extraordinary
fascination over the distinguished men OF
her day ana generation. The majority OF
the women who reigned over the French
salons were women OF brains and to
their gatherings flOcked most OF the eele-
brated men OF their period. Like attracts
like deep calls unto deep. and shallow
unto shallow. Even Shelley, the wild
and the hayward, justified his flight from
poor frivolous Harriet, saying; Every
one WIN knows me must know that the
