THE LADY AND THE DlsHRAG
Woman Does Not Realize TO What
Depths She Sinks Herself by Using
Popular Expression.

When a woman declares that she
"feels like a dishrag" she Is dragging
herself down to the lowest level Of
stiIl life. We doubt not from the per-
sonal appearance If that handy ar
tlcIa Of domestic utility that If any
life existed at all In said rag 1t could
not possibly fall lower or feel meaner.
However, woman should never offer
herself In comparison with so de
graded an object for the simple rea-
son that mankind spurns the dishrag
most vehemently, and as woman
exists solely for man she should not
seek to lower herself In his esteem.
When rag takes up its duties in the
dishpan it has reached the tag end
Of abandoned hope, the climax per
haps of a merry life. A dishrag might
have been lovely lady's hose in its
palmy days. adorned by a silken gar.
ter and surrounded by costly lingerie,
But 1t Is not OF Its past that speak
1t is Of Its present social standing, its
vulgar environment and its uttel
self-abandonment. 'Tis true that you
may feel fatigued to q limp and Ioppy
degree, but never can you feel SC
utterly wretched and beyond redemp
ton as a dishrag.-Zim, In Cartoons
Magazine.

THESE SHOES WEAR rs YEARS
They Are Made Of Grass and Are stIII
Worn by Natives In Parts Of
Portugal and Spain.

EspaFtO shoes, or shoes made OF the
toughest and strongest of the coarse
espartO hbers, are still worn in Iberia
and parts OF Portugal. There Is no
shoe made which will outlast them, not
excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one
pair of esparto shoes has been known
to outwear dozen tanned hide soles.
This Is due to their faculty Of picking
up and retaining In their interstices
stony particles. As fast as the pebbles
are worn out they are replaced auto
matically by others. Thus a self-soling
process Is constantly going on. It is
not uncommon In some ptrts of Spain
or Portugal to hear the natives boast
Of wearing pair of esparto shoes for
% years or more.

Honey IN Iev.Iah lilstorv.

The numerous references to honey
In the Bible are due to its being the
common sweetener of the people;
and to this day the Jews. who are fine
old crusty conservatives, use honey in
cooking where other people use sugar.
Still, 1t had certain distinction, and
was used as the symbol of fruitfulness
and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife
wished to propitiate the prophet she
took him ten loayes, two cakes and a
cruise of honey When Jesus reap
peared to his disciples they tested his
reality by giving him piece of brolled
fish and some honeycomb to eat. AS

that his common food consisted OF
