ARE ALL MEN "MATEABLE?"

These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die like fire and
 powder.
 Which as they kiss. consume The sweet
 est honey
 Is loathsome in it's own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore. love moderately: long love
 doth so
 Too swift arrives as taray as too slow.
 Because you see a man is single. waiting to fall in love with some sweet woman. He may not be a mate for one reason or another
 He may have a heart like an omni- bus. always room for one more in it. Therefore he's not to be appropriated by any particular one Business may absorb him to such an extent that he finds more pleasure in looking over his books and accounts from early morning until the wee sma hours than he would in having wife to claim part of his attention. Then, again. he may be a man subject to attacks of old love dreams; forsWearing love of all womankind because he had loved and lost in his early youth or had been the victim of an unWise affection.
 Few men have to run the gamut of youth to their middle thirties without coming in contact with some one wom- an whom they could love had they con sidered 1t advisable after long and earnest thought
 The single man who will not WOO or we'd be he bachelor or Widower. knows what he is about, having his own good reasons Hence, let him alone if you would not incur his secret enmity by inviting him to call if you are a marriageable woman and taking an interest in him.
 No man is so busy that he hasn't time to think of some fair-faced wom- an. If his heart is touched. that di- rects his inclination to seek her so- ciety. The most bashful country youth that ever lived knows how to tell his love to the girl who has struck his fancy No man is too diffident to ask a woman to marry him if he really wants her. Most women think that the wealthy single man should marry when they see poor young men taking wives unto themselves, though it costs them an effort to stretch out their in come to covef the expenses of two. The rich man. more often than not. imagines that every woman who looks at him has an eye to his fortune. His belligerent nature is aroused. and he filings to the winds all temptation to love and wed
 Nine times out of ten the man who is considered unmateable has loved too well some fickle sweetheart who has welded another This is the se= cret of many a mans keeping single who the world believes was born heartless
 If the unmateable men have their heart trouble and secret romances, it is better not to attempt to pry into them. Gentleness, womanliness and sympathy will be much more of a mag net to draw him toward a woman than for her to attempt to make a target of arrows his way in her behalf Few women are clever enough to discern the men that are mateable and those who are not Those who seek wom- ems society can always be charmed into matrimony

crate in the extreme The way lies through a country intensely hot during great part of the year. and the cars used on the line are constructed after the most advantageous manner for catching and retaining all possible heat. Moreover. the fares are cheap and the way is patronized heavily by swarms of Asiatics, malodorous and neighborly.
 The trains, in pre-war days, had way of leaving important stations be- tween three and six o'clock in the morning The wayside stations were miserable shanties, where widest con- fusion reigned. Buying tickets at the small novels which housed the ticket offices meant the business of free for-all fight in the midst of jostling crew of excited Orientals. Moreover, one must go with the crowd on this line to the Persian border because no first-class carriages are operated thereon. Among other drawbacks, one soon has the knowledge forced upon him that his fellow passengers are NtIuSIlOuS
 The cars are dirty They are old, uncomfortable, and ill-ventilated The seats are narrow and covered with white canvas. the covering usually turned brown and yellow with accumu- lations of evidence from the hands and clothing of the railways patrons. The third class cars resemble the Ameri- can box-car. only they are much small CT. Both the second-class and the third.class cars are generally packed as tightly as space will permit.
 Much of the scenery along the way is very beautiful. The way through the Araxes valley. wide at first and, farther on, narrowing between ridging mountains, lies in the beginning through an inviting country of vine- yard and orchard Farther toward the Persian border. the country becomes desolate Stations are few. and for the most part are mere wooden sheds

VIENNA IS CELEBRATING
coun. Tisza States to the Hungarian p.rIiament Desire of One Enemy to Surrender and Scenes of Joy
 Witnessed in Chamber

perIir The king and the govern nant of Montenegro asked cessd- tion of hestiliues and opening ot peace negotiations, it was oliiclaiiy announced by AustroHungarlah heaa' quarters.
 The Austro-Hungarian government replied to Montenegro that peace he- gotiations were only possible II the afontenegrin army uneonditlonaily laid down it's arms, the headquarters statement, as received here rom Vienna says.
 The Montenegrin government, adus the statement, accepted the Austrian conditions. /

 The proceedings under the first paragraph of the order of the day had just been completed when Count lis ga asked permission to interrupt the discussion. He stated that the king and government or Montenegro had asked the inauguration of peace ne- gotiaIions.
 The announcement caused great commotion in Parliament.
 We asked that beforehand Monte negro internationally lay down her arms" continued the premier.

erings. pleased at being her constant escort and at the attention she re- ceives. But this is mot an indication that he intends to make love to her or cares to be nearer and dearer than just a friend.
 The trouble is that men of this kind are apt to call too often on such a girl friend, quite forgetting that they are sitting out other weuldbe lovers whom they find in her parlors and driving them away The young woman's hopes are raised. as well.
 Nor can she be blamed for miscon- struing his friendship for teEdeTer sentiment Friendship is one thing; love is quite another. Friendships s claims should not stand in the way of the girl enjoying the same privilege with others who could be quite as agreeable if allowed the chance. It is a somewhat foolish girl who would fasten her friendship upon one man only if she knew it was to end as it began. Men who have made up their minds that theirs should be visits of friendships only should not call too often upon the woman. They should be careful, too, that their conversation should not drift into sentiment or their handelasp become too tender or finger ing at parting.
 It's all of these little indications. the compliments he pays her and what he says. that give a girl hope. Her heart feeds upon it. She is neither a stick nor a stone. A woman s dover of tender love has come to her. even though no ayowal of love has passed between them. Nor has he offered his heart and hand in marriage As soon as he Is aware that he has become nearer and dearer to her than all oth- CTS. he raises the old cry-she has misconstrued his friendship
 The flame of love could not have burned had he not have lighted the lamp of expectation. There never was a claim more abused than that of friendship between man and woman. When it seems likely to become a ne- cessity to one or the other, and wed lock cannot be the immediate out come. it had best be snapped asunder. ere the cord becomes too closely knit to break without regrets. When a woman begins to watch for man 8 comings and he to count the evenings until he shall be by her side again. they have wandered together out of friendships path into the broader. more beautiful path of love. Friend ship is often misconstrued when it should be called by it's right name awakened affection.

Beware of eodwin,s Oath.

Take care you are not swearing Godwins oath. This caution to d person taking voluntary and intem- perate oath or making violent prot estations refers to tradition that Goodwin. earl of Kent. tried for the murder of Prince Alfred, brother of Edward the Gonfessor, king of Eng. land, and pardoned, died at the kings table while protesting his innocence with oaths The earl had his mouth rather full of bread when he began his harangue. To make his protesta- tions more vivid he called upon heav- ell, saying that if he was guilty of the murder he would like to choke on the bread Tradition says he did Exchange.

Legend of the Tyrol.

Tyrol passed to the house of Hans burg in the fourteenth century, in consequence, says tradition, of a blow. The last of the native rulers of Tyrol was a woman, Margaret, more commonly called by her nick. name, "Pocket-Mouthed Meg" Many legends circle around Meg, but it seems to be fairly authenticated that a blow from her husband-whom she afterward turned out of the country or from one of her Bavarian cousins. which disfigured her for life. caused her in revenge to cede the whole of her possessions to the dukes of Ans tria after the death of her only son in 1863.

 Tabriz Old and Monotonous.
 Tabriz is a city whose age and birth place are unknown; for, like Moses. it was found in the bulrushes of the Dark Ages, a thing of some maturity then but of uncertain antecedents. It is the commercial center of Azar- baijan, and it is the most important window of Persia toward the west. One tradition aseribes its founding to Zobeidah, the wife of Harun al Rashid, the calf of the Arabian Nights This date is probably much too late one, as those who know Tabriz count a thousand years but fraction of the city's life.
 It is a monotonous expanse of flat roof, single-story houses, strewn hap hazardly over the plain. The build ings are dull in appearance and con stucted of clay and mud plaster, the outer walls windowless and almost tedium of the dull-colored, heavy-fea- tured city.
 As in the earliest times, so today walls surround Tabriz. without which gardens, vineyards and orchards thrive. This region has long been famous for

H USSIA'S new route, a railway H route into Persia, has become
 of vast importance to the war
 ring nations. This new line, planned and constructed just previous to the war. when Russias interest reached out beyond southern Trans caucasia into the northern parts of the weakening and wildly-governed terri tories of the shah, is described in bulletin of the National Geographic so- ciety. AS roads in Transcaucasia are built upon the Spanish principle of keeping people off of them, this line of track has most important bearing upon the maintenance of order at the boundary
 There are two routes from Europe to Teheran. One through Russia to Baku, the oil city on the Caspian thence by steamer to Resht. and, final ly, by road to the Persian capital, road built and kept up by Russia. This route is the older route. The second way. made possible by railway con- struction through southern Transcau- SN&SANtt ID bh' PAodd1l LII ItGtuL huSSldLl labors. The traveller by this route sets out from Titlis, the capital of the Cau- casus, takes a train south over Alex andropol and Erivan. thence to Nak. hiteheYan. the first city founded by Noah after abandoning the ark upon neighboring Ararat, and, passing down the valley of the Araxes, where the Armenians place Eden, he passes the international boundary at Dju1fa. From here the traveller goes by another Rus sian road to Tabriz.

 Wood-OfI Tree.

The Chinese woodoil tree. Aleurites cordata, can probably be successfully grown in many parts of the South. At any rate, a tree in Tallahassee bore two bushels of seeds last season. The seeds of the wood-oil tree are rich in an oil that surpasses in drying quality any other oil known, and that is pro duced in immense quantities in China, where it is widely used for calking and painting junks and boats and for var nishing and preserving all kinds of woodwork The United States imports annually about five million gallons of Chinese wood oil, valued at S2,000.000 As the demands of the American var nish trade are steadily increasing there should be an almost unlimited domestic market for the new industry once it is established. Besides being valuable commercially, the wood-oil tree is attractive in itself It's clusters of white flowers, with their reddish brown centers, make it look. when in full bloom. like the catalpa tree Youths Companion.
