would be nettled until someone relieved him of the burden he held so awk- wardly.
 The married man does not stammer or grow confused in the presence of women. On the contrary, he enjoys confusing the gentler sex. A married man cannot accept an invitation to an affair offhand. He knows very well that his wife will have something to say about that. A single mans hours are his own outside of business. There is no one to dictate what he may or may not do. He can make an engage ment on the spur of the moment for anything that suits his fancy.
 The married man shows his responsi- bilitfes on his face. The single mans face shows absence of them. The married man shows plainly that he has no heart to lose. The single mans at titude toward women shows that he is looking about for the right one.
 The married man has no real interest in any woman outside of his own fam
 
 gle man has interest wherever there are likeable young ladies who appeal to him. A married man is always ready to go to his dinner at the tap of the hotel gong. If single man is con- versing with a single young lady he forgets dinner, everything in the pleas ure of her charming presence.
 There are upward of thousand ways, never failing signs, by which you can tell whether a mans married or single. But if you have mastered the few hints given you here you have learned quite enough to help you deter mine whether the fascinating stranger you have recently met is married or single.

Georgia Fish Go on Spree.

Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlanta, Ga, declares that the fish In South river should have the attention of the Humane society. They are being gross ly mistreated by the city, since the police began dumping blind tiger' liquor in the sewers, he states.
 He said after trip to the river with Oscar Cochran, manager of the city parks, that he found the fish in maudlin condition, due to excessive use of alcohol. Most of them were in a disgraceful state of intoxication. and the ones that were not were fighting to get their share.
 He says the river is rapidly becoming stocked with fish from farther down the stream, coming up to get share of the liquid. And he adds that the inhabitants of the region are trying to find some way to extract the alcohol without having to eat the fish, recogniz- ing that the two don't go well to- gether.

Beware Deadly Niehtshade Berries.

The berries of the deadly nightshade (atropa belladonna), now ripe, are such tempting fruit for children that they and their parents ought to know the plant and the terrible danger of eating it's berries. These are the source from which the Pois0ns atro- pine and belladonna are made.
 The deadly nightshade grows from three to five feet high on strong, branched, purple-eolored stems. Its pointed, oval leaves vary in size and stand in pairs on short foot stalks The flowers are purple, pendent and bell-shaped. These appear in June and July, and give place to shining black berries in August and Septem- Der

Price of Roses.

small flower shop in the humber quarters of a Southern city. A young hospital nurse, still in training, is asking the price of roses, her rounded cheek, itself rose, half turned to the open door.
 The daily tasks of the hospital training school are eXhausting. But she has managed to embroider work. bag-a wedding present wrought by her own hands-and she seeks to adorn the package with a few buds.
 To the question she puts there Is no reply; only thoughtful look.
 Such voice as is "an excellent thing in woman" repeats it. Then the wom- an of the shop, quietly:
 "I heard you the first time, desr, and I've heard your voice before You were good, so good, to my Alice at the hospital. How she suffered And how patient to the end!'
 Then, turning to the boy, she bids him give the lady all the flowers she may need. And she herself pins a white rose on the young nurses bosom.-New York Independent.

Training Children.

Do not be afraid of letting your chil- dren enjoy themselves. Make them just as happy as you possibly can, even if they do break piece of furniture or little brfc-a-brae once in a while. It is infinitely more important to train children to cultivate a happy temper ament, to try to establish in them the hopeful, cheerful, optimistic habit, than to give them college education or leave them a fortune. It is infinitely more important to show them how to face life heroically, cheerfully, serene ly. than how to make money or to at- tain fame.-The Mothers Magazine.

Biggest Natural Bridges.
={Copyright.. 1917)

The biggest natural bridges in the world are to be found in the United States, according to the National Geo graphic Magazine. The largest of these, the Rainbow. 30S feet high would span the dome of the United States capitol, with room to spare, and is nearly as high as the Flatiron building, in New York. Its span is six times us great as that of the Nat ural Bridge of Virginia. Utah alone has three natural bridges that are higher and of greater span than any other natural bridge in the world.
