 If l may be pardened for talking shop l will tell you just your position with relation to the government.

 -Four days ago. for instance, se- cured a list of the membership of this association That night, in the name of d certain newspaper publisher. let ters were written to every member asking for quotations of prices. The price lists are in the mail by this time and coming back to us. Now, if there is a great similarity in those prices, suspicion will be aroused. It is better that this and other tests be put upon manufacturers before they are aware that an investigation is on.

 Cards work under cover was com pleted. It was but an incident in the relations between a great industry and the government. The next week the books of the association were thrown open to the government. President Van Dorn, whose factory was the larg est of them all, volunteered access to his records and others followed suit So was an era of fair dealing inaugu rated.
 This all happened years ago. The fidelity with which the special agent , laid the basis of his deception is prov ed by the fact that many of these manufacturers are now getting their pulp from the Canadian northwest The name of Gard does not, however appear among the list of officers oi any of the companies supplying pulp The young man is probably now off on the trail of some other real or sus peeted yiolators of the federal statutes meeting new emergencies, gaining new experiences, playing a modest but not unimportant part in the big and vital affairs of the nation.

On July 13 Professor skinner of the Amer ican Indian museum, excayating the mound at Tioga point, near Sayre, Pa. uncovered the bones of 6S men, which he estimates had been buried at least seven or eight hundred years. The av- craze height indicated by the skeletons was seven feet, but many were taller. Evidences of the gigantic size of these men was seen in huge axes found be- side the bones, says the Christian Her atd.

uallY in love or if they wish to be considered merely friends; what eourtship is how soon the young man should pop the question, and who should suggest that they might as welt he married at once Us to wait. and so forth.
 1 will try to reply in this article as best l can to the queries of over Il thousand young women-all on the same subjects girl never really loves. even knows she has heart, till she is conscious of it's loss. That is the beginning of the tender passion. If young man has fallen into the habit of calling regularly, the natural supposition k that he is interested in the girl and finds more eententment in her society than in that of any oth- CT girl upon whom he might call. The man who is in earnest will lose no time in explaining the object of his visits to the young woman's family, as we'll as to herseIf-namely, that he has found that he is fond of her and that he would like to call for Il stated period to discover if they are mutually attracted ta each other, and with the intention of proposing marriage If all is favorable.
 During this period. when no be trothal is pending, q young girl may show her interest in the young man by welcoming him cordially, not eff fusively, when he comes. showing an interest in his conversation, his home folks and his employment. if he is wont to speak of it.
 Until man asks for young wom- ans hand in marriage and is accepted. he has no right to expect to be enter tained exclusively by her. He has no right to feel aggrieved If her family comes in when he calls, aiding her in making the evening pass pleasantly for him.
 Lastly. but by no means least, q young man should not expect to have his betrothed sweetheart wholly to himself when he caIlS. He is expect ing to take her all too soon from her home folks. He should allow them to enjoy her society with him to the very last day. Girls who absorb all this Knowledge know all that I have been able to discover by book or history concerning the course of true love and the cause of its running smoothly or otherwise.

Rlhlioal Account of Delune

Many expressions in the account of the flood apply to the whole earth and all living things on the face of the earth except those in the ark with Noah, and no exception is made of any part of the earth. It is said All the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the r7ountains were covered But even this may only mean the earth and the mountains of the earth as they were known at that dime and not to the whole terrestrial globe. As the flood was sent to punish mankind. ex- cept those in the ark with Noah, it was only necessary that it should cover the comparatively small part of the earth then inhabited. and not the en- tire globe and the Biblical account of 1t would naturally refer to the earth as it was known to the narratOrs.

To prompt q theme
 For BeaHty's dream
 Soft as the pillow of her slumbers'
 X woman writes me in all seriousness asking which are the best loYed-the women who toll not-pretty dolls that faSciaate men-or the earnest women who believe that they should accom- pliSh some good in life? Is q woman less lovabie to 4 man If, instead of rose-leaved palms and polished finger tips, her hands show signs of homely homework? Do men only like the women whose one thought is of pleas ure instead of those who must plan anXiaasly th keep roof over their lit- tle family and their children neat, thus giving him something else to converse about than idle dippaney?
 Such questions as these cannot be answered offhand. The heart of one man cannot be judged hy the hearts of 2o others. One may be domesticated while the other nlneteen-would not be tied down to home life though they married earthly angels One man Is all devotion to the little family that comes to him while the man who has no affection for offspring counts them as troubles he cannot avoid"
 am happy to say that the latter are few and far between. The coming of children changes the majority of mems natures completely, Love and senti- mental whisperings men enjoy for time, but they are sure to wcnry of 1t sooner of later. The time comes when they YearH for q eomPaRioHable mate. one who can console them fl business goes wrong, aye. or who can advise them.
