PUZZLED OVER WOMEN
FEMALE SEX 3. MYSTERY TO THE
HEBREW SAGEs.
CIassed With Fools as Subjects Be
You'd Comprehension - Remarks
Made by Author of the Book
of EccIesiasticus.

Two subjects seem to have occupied
the attention of the Hebrew sages to
a marked degree. They are always re-
curing to them. In the midst of max
inns about the conduct of life the sage
cannot forbear to take side swipe
at fools and women. He finds them
both beyond comprehension.
To get his point of view it is neces-
sary to remember that there were no
asylums in the Orient. Every village
had it's imbeciles, who were feature
of tie town life. The village fool was
a far more prominent person in the
ancient East, and forced himself much
more on public attention than the
feeble-minded person of today, who
usually is kept in the background.
AS for women? Well, the ancient
world never was able to make them
out any way. Their incessant chatter
Ing was evidently great annoyance
to the solemn, white-bearded patri-
archs.
One of the most human of the an
cient sages was the author of the
Book of Ecclesiasticus in the Apoc-
rypha, Jesus, the son Of Sirach. His
book has a distinct flavor, quality
that makes it entertaining reading.
The imagination pictures him man
of gracious dignity, reserved, serious,
taking his obligations with the gray
ity of his race. Experience has dis
closed to him most of the mysteries
of the world-eXcept women.
"A daughter" he confesses, lis a
secret cause of wakefulness to a IA
Their, and the care of her putteth away
Sleep" That seems to have been the
general attitude of the sages toward
the female aspect of affairs. He en-
larges on the subject in another place:
Il will rather dwell with lion and
a dragon than keep house with a
wicked woman The wickedness Of
woman changeth the look and dark
eneth her countenance as a bear doth.
Her husband shall sit at meat among
his neighbors, and when he heareth
it he sigheth bitterly. All malice is
but little to the malice of woman;
let the portion of sinner fall on her.
AS the going up sandy way is to the
feet of the aged, so is wife full of
words to quiet man. A wicked wom-
an is abasement of heart, and sadness
of countenance, and wounded heart.
A woman that will not make her hus-
band happy is as hands that hang
down, and palsied knees. From
woman was the beginning of sin, and
because of her we all die. A silent
woman is a gift of the Lord"
The ''wickedness" to which so much
exception was taken seems to have
been contentiousness. The wise man
of the East, DESTROYS of leading a con-
templative life, was simply worn to
death by an ill-tempered, talkative
wife. That was why a silent woman
was gift of the Lord The only bit
of conversation on the part of Socra-
ties with Xantippe that is recalled is
the word, 'Hush!"

SCOTLAND'S BIG SHIP CANAL
Project for Passage From Forth "a
the Clyde Again Agi-
tated.

Enthusiasm for the making Of mid
Scotland ship canal has been burning
for over hundred years In Glasgow.
The sudden flame which has just
burned out Is no doubt connected, like
the Channel tunnel, with problems sug-
gested by the war, observes the London
Chronicle. An easy passage from the
Forth to the Clyde was recognized by
DefOe in the reign of Queen Anne
as sound strategic and commercial
proposition. In the middle of the
eighteenth century the Glasgow corpo-
ration added FL 600 to the fund for con-
structing the present very useful barge
canal through the Kelvin valley be-
tween the Forth and the Clyde.
What ship canal between the North
sea and the Atlantic would mean for
the British navy as well as for Glas-
Cow may be gathered from COMPARE
son of the time saved by avoiding the
stormy waters of the Pentland Firth.
A ship leaving Glasgow for HUI would
save 626 miles; for Dundee 1874, for
London 271, and for Hamburg III ever
the time should come again) 4S2. Liv-
erpOol, of course, would share these
economies with Glasgow. Biologists,
as If to encourage the pioneers, remind
US that the sea once flowed across
Scotland through the valleys where
the proposed canal would run.
