HUSBAND MuST BE AMERICAN
Popular Singer Declares They Are the
Best In the World, and Perhaps
She 10 Right

young American singer who re-
turns to this country after a success
full career abroad, expecting to reap
here high hoonrs and much money an
nounees that she is a candidate for
matrimony, but only American men
need apply. Her verdict is that the
Russian husband is cruel, the German
selfish, the Frenchman untrue, the
Italian broke" the Spaniard jealous
and lazy and the Englishman domineer-
ing. These congratulations are un-
doubtedly too strong. There are as
good husbands In each OF the coun-
tries as anywhere, but the foreigner
who deliberately hunts an American
girl is apt to be an adventurer, and
we hear OF all the bad cases We do
not hear OF the thousands OF American
women happily married and living IN
every country In Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the singer VIII
find a husband with none Of the bad
qualities mentioned and with all OF
the virtues. We feel at liberty, how
ever to point out that there are some
mighty bad husbands in this country
and that American birth alone Is no
guarantee Of perfection. 1t is true,
however, that the ordinary American
husband is the best trained animal
in captivity. He eats out OF his wife's
hand and signs checks and is thankful
for the opportunity. There are millions
OF such husbands now and millions
Of candidates for the yoke.-Philadel

HISTORY TOLD IN STAMPS

Everyone who has collected stamps
must have noticed the absence Of
sovereign's heads from those OF Tur-
key. That this is so is due TO the
fact that Mohammedans consider a
representation OF the human face or
figure unlawful. Therefore Turkish
stamps carry the crescent, which the
Turks borrowed from the Byzantines
after the fall of Constantinople. They
also used a complicated, arbitrary
sign supposed to be the signature Of
the sultan
Egyptian and Grecian stamps are
peculiarly expressive Of the history Of
the countries which they represent
The pyramids, the mystic Sphinx, tall
palm trees outlined against the night
sky, a train OF camels stopping to
drink from the river Nile, all carry
US back to the very beginning of his
tory and remind us that Egypt the
mother of civilization, is still called
by her ancient name, and is yet a
growing power in the world she has
known 80 long.
Beautiful, artistic Greece, the home
of beauty, from which our sculptors
and architects draw their finest in
spirations gives US pure classic lines
on her stamps, which show the ia
nous discus thrower, Hermes Of the
winged feet, or a chariot race. or a
tall slim vase, an antique mold.
The stamps Of Persia show the lion
and the sun-the lion as a symbol

HANGED BY RESCUERS

A rope thrown to save mans life,
who had fallen down crevasse, in
the Alps, near Berne, Switzerland, the
other day, got caught round the mans
neck and strangled him. Three young

to the crevasse which was half cover
ed up with snow. AS he was joined
to his comrades by a rope he remained
hanging in the air The rope, how
ever, had become jammed in, and a
second one, with running knot, was
thrown down to him. BY this means
he was eventually drawn up, but when
brought to the surface he was dead,

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE
BY Comparison, the Lion Was lnoffen-
sive and MlId-"8utts Like
Batterlng Ram"

The tidings that lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production Of
Joseph and His Brethren" has been
noised far and wide. Several CORE
spondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done, by Lord George
Stanger, and thereby hangs a tale.
When the sale OF the old Snowman 5
menagerie took place, the two animals
were put together and bought by Mr..
Fred Ginnett, of Dick Turpin fame.
BY this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the TOOTH to say the least Of
it, A few days afterwards an ac-
quaintance asked Mr. Ginnett how the
happy pair were getting on.
Il wish l had never seen them,
said the Snowman gloomily.

Swanson, a big swede, OF Atlantic
City. N. j., slashed the heel to the
bone with his fsh knife. leaped over
board from his boat and swan a mile

the beach. Fishermen believe that a
wound from a stlngray is 80 poisonous
as to cause death. A physician, Dr.
Fl. Willis, who was summoned, eau
terized the wound. It is believed that
swansons heroic treatment and the
effects OF the salt water on the wound
In all probability saved his life, though
he was in a serious condition from
loss of blood.
