Golden Matrimonial AGE.

An interesting and unusual estimate
of the proper age for matrimony is
that advanced by Mrs. Vivian, head
and founder of the National Society of
the Daughters of California. The
happiest and most successful mar.
riages, she says, are those between
the man of so and the woman of 35.
At that age of discretion, she
claims, the male has become more
mellow and tolerent as well as more
solvent. On the other hand she init.
mates that girl of 20 is much harder
to get along with than to get along
without, and that there ought to be
laws prohibiting people marrying be
fore they are 80 years old.
When Mrs. Vivian's theory gets
into working order the bachelor en-
tering the bald, corpulent age of Sc
may as well leave hope behind. If DR.
Osler doesn't get him the Daughters
Of California will.-Success.

HOLD ENGLISH HIRING FAIR
Decorations Are Used by Farm Hands
to Distinguish Their Differ
emf Callings

One of the Oldest Michaelmas hiring
fairs in England was held in the an
cient market place of High Wycombe
Blckinghamshire, recently. From a
wide radius. including parts of the
three counties of Bucks, Berks and
Oxon, farmers and agricultural en-
ployes in all departments fiocked into
The town early in the morning.
Harvesting having been finished. the
attendance was much larger than
usual, and there was a general dispo-
sition to change hands" though the
sverage terms of remuneration show
ed very little alteration
Several old time customs still pre-
vail. both at the hiring and In regard
to the conditions upon which farm
hands are engaged for the IL months.
For instance, plowmen decorate their
buttonholes with strings of whipcord
to denote their distinctive calling;
shepherds display tufts of wool in
their caps and their forelocks, and 9th
er farm hands utilize horsehair and
fancy ribbons and rosettes for their
personal adornment.
A good deal of time was occupied
In making the best terms" and In ac-
cordance with precedent of many
years standing the engagements were
conditional on the supplying of beer"
or harvesting allowance" as 1t is
called. The old fashioned custom of
hiring servants in this way enlisted
a good deal Of public interest. The
pleasure fair, relegated from the
streets to a spacious enclosure in the
town, attracted thousands, and 1t will
be continued as usual for three days.

POOR OLD HUMAN NATURE
oid-Fashioned Man Declares When
Motorists Are Masked No One
Can Recognize Them.

Human nature, at least as she is
depicted in humans, is being sadly
relegated to the background remark
ed an old-fashioned man who has kept
his eyes opened for the last twenty
years.
"How so?" asked his young friend.
Look at yourself and ask that ques-
uon-if you can. You're a sight with
that cap, those goggles, that coat!
You and all other motorists, and all
these up-to-date persons who have Ia
ken to the flying machines, are no
more like human beings when you get
81 your sporting raiment than if you
beaonged to some queer species of ami
NAL. In the good old days of the
Morse you drove out in your hats and
coats and your friends could recog-
nize you. Now you are masked worse
than burglars and no one knows one
OF you from another. Why-look at
the women on the streets even! They
don't look like the women God made.
They are painted and pulled and dis
torted by dress and those weird look
Ing scroll-like wells until the human
face and form are as unlike what ma
ture intended them to be as If she
had had no hand in the matter at all.
| am not peeyish, but I can't help
standing up for the good old nature
that love-" Whereupon the younger
man adjusted his goggles. drew down
the visor of his cap. cranked up his
machine and prepared to leave.

How did you come to speak to him
even then, sir?" we asked. 1T must

1T was. The young jackanapes
bought a new automobile"
And you wanted a rider"

chine was new to him, and couldn't
resist the temptation to go over and
give him some advice about running

POOR CARE TAKEN OF SHOES
II Workmen Were Careful Of Them
the Business Wouldn't Be What
1t Is Now.

"Did you ever notice." said the shoe
salesman, chat the people who take
the poorest care of their shoes are the
ones who can least afford to get new
ones? It's a fact, though. Next time
you ride in the Subway when the car
isn't so crowded you can see peoples
feet take a look at the row Of shoes.
You'll find the laborers and working
men Of all sorts wear shoes that show
no signs of care since they came from
the factory The heavy brogans that
once were black have become TIE col
or of natural leather; you can see
where shoes that have been wet have
warped. lost all shape and are ready
to crack; and those that haven't been
wet are just drying up as the life of
the leather ooZes out. / tell you, if
the wOrkingmen cared for their shoes
properly the shoe business wouldn't
be what 1t is now. l am not talking
about Shine and l haven't any spe-
cial brand of backing to sell. It's oil
the leather needs, and it isn't oil that
makes shoes shine. When the farm
ers used to wear cowhide boots-be
fore they plowed and MIXED by ma
chinery-they used to take care of
them by keeping them creased with
tallow, and the country store didn't
sell more than one pair of shoes a
year to man. But the men who do
the heavy work now are not so wise,
and the shoe trade takes toll Of their
ignorance.

HeadIess Butterflies.

To the butterfly. unlike most crea-
lures. the head seems to be not indis-
pensable. Reporting some experiments
to the French Academy Of Sciences,
Professor vianney of the Lyons uni
versity states that a number of insect
larvae were carefully beheaded and
that In spite of this they went through
the usual stages Of metamorphosis.
Caterpillars Of the genus bombyx be-
came mature butterflies, with fine col
ored, streaked wings. They were little
troubled by their headless condition
and lived for considerable time.

Paper DRINKING Guns.

In the schools of Austria the children
are taught to carry several sheets of
writing paper in their pockets at ali
times. Then when a child Is thirsty
he can roll one Of the sheets into a
cone and make perfectly serviceable
cup. which may be placed. after being
used, in the nearest waste paper box
How to roll the cones deity is taught
the children. TIE tearing of a notch
about half an inch long near one end
before rolling the cone serves to make
the improved cup stronger.
