Work for Artists.

London artists in distress through
the war are being employed to dec
crate the walls of many Of the public
schools of the city with friezes and
panels illustrative Of life and industry
in the British dominions beyond the
seas. One Of the most striking pic
lures depicts London with st. Paul's
cathedral overlooking the Thames and
barges and steamers moving about the
river. Others are of pastoral scenes
in Canada, Australia, South Africa and
the West Indies. BY extending the
work throughout the school system the
board Of education hopes to develop
the Imagination of the pupils and pos
sibly develop large school Of decora-
tive painting in England.

American Girl Dreams of
"IdeaI Man." But Doesn't
Marry Him, Says Expert

my ideal man" may be nutritious
mOrsel of conversation for girls of ro-
mantle age, but the girls don't marry
their ideal men, and the earth contin-
ues to rotate in spite of the fact that
the normal output of FRANCIS x. Bush
mans" doesn't commence to supply the
demand.
From Harvard, where important the
Dries in chemistry, economics and phi
losophy have been evolved, comes the
latest pertinent discovery that what
girls want and what they get are some
times totally opposite, don't you know.
1t isn't a professor emeritus who
launches his idea, however, says the
Boston Post. It's a Harvard student,
whose record of having been engaged
three times and thrice -disengaged en-
titles him to as much hearing on such
a matter as string Of alphabetical ap-
pendages.
Most girls conjure an image of their
ideal man, the Harvard scholar asserts.
(He's had many other love affairs with
out engagements, so his experience con-
sists Of more than three bona fide
"cases.') They utter volumes Of words
about the specifications of their ideals,
swear by almost all that's holy they'll
wed only such one and-bingl before
the words have been forgotten the
same girls are marrying men whose
Bertillion statistics don't dovetail with
those Of Adonis, or whoever the girls
pick out.
The Harvard expert cites instances
Of Greater Boston girls who have laud-
ed blonde-haired men and have welded
dark-haired ones. He has seen girls
who preferred brainy men to all things
marry men who are glad the unions
have set up minimum wage scale.
And he has witnessed the betrothal of
girls who spurned all but abstainers
from cocktails and cards to men who
drink according to Hoyle. The theory
he has evolved is this:
American girls Of the romantic age,
which runs from seventeen to twenty
four or thereabouts, are given over to
too much day dreaming, and because
they don't take time to know what's
going on in the world, their converse
ton is necessarily based on their
dreams. So out comes the ideal man
topic. This same ideal is a great thing
to talk about, but when a girl finds
herself slipping along the calendar
without having then encountered her
dream man in the flesh, she begins to
look over the eligible men who may not
assay at 100 per cent in the dream
test.
In brief, to romantic girls with I'M
ideals, the men all look
good when they're near at hand. But
as for continuing the search for ideal
men-well, girls, it's great life IL you |
don't weaken. The Harvard expert |
says you do.

seriousness. SIT sounds too good to be
true"
When habitual drunkard staggers
home after weeks debauch and tells
his family he met Billy Sunday who
induced him to sign pledge that he
would let liquor alone from that time
on, his family chorus In a breath that
1t sounds too good to be true. They
should give him the benefit of the doubt
ere casting suspicion on the truth
Of his declaration.
People have even been known to for
get themselves so far as to exclaim,
when they heard of the demise of dear
old Aunt Mary or Uncle John and that
a fortune had come to them in conse-
quence, "Oh! surely that's too good to
be true!" Whether they referred to
the fate Of the deceased or were in a
transport of joy over the thought Of
the fortune they forget to explain. If
a young father is told over the tele-
phone that he now has an heir, a
bouncing boy, his first delighted cry is:
"A boy, eh That sounds almost too
good to be true!" Not much of COM
pliment to the baby girl who happens
to accompany the boy, the mother
thinks, but when he learns there's an
added reason for rejoicing, and that
there's twin girl as well, his words,
THAT sounds too good to be true"
have doubtful ring to them.
There's nothing that happens to good
deserving people or is about to happen
too good to be true. We have queer
way of expressing our joy when we
put doubt upon it.

Frost Does Not Turn Leaves.

Many people are under the impress
sion that the leaves Of the trees and
creepers turn red or yellow or purple
or brown under the action Of frost,
but the truth is that frost has moth
ing to do with the change. The leaves
in September and October begin to
change long before we have frost. It
is merely the ripening of the leaves,
just as an apple reddens when it is
ripe. Leaves are green in spring and
summer because they have in their
cells substance called chlorophyll,
which is made green by the action Of
the sunlight. The green is of pale
shade in early spring because the.
chlorophyll is not fully formed. When
the substance is fully formed the
green turns darker. Toward the end
of summer the chlorophyll begins to
decay, and then because 1t is not sup
piled as 1t is early In the season the
leaves change color or ripen.

Barbara, Popular Name for
Girls, Has a History That
Goes Back to Early Saints

The revival Of the name Barbara as
common proper appellation for girls
draws attention to its origin. This
name Barbara Is especially interesting
In that 1t, in common with three 9TH
ers, has been made the representative
Of an idea in the annals of the Roman
Catholic church. Agnes, Katharine,
Margaret and Barbara are the four
great virgin saints revered with pas
sionate fervor, because the fact that
around these women crystallized
many widely separated allegories and
traditions.
Finally Agnes came to represent the
triumph of innocence, Margaret the vic
tory through faith, Katharine the ex-
treme Of intellectual devotion, and
Barbara that Of artistic conservation.
Saint Barbara is the especial patron
Of architects and Of their art In Its ex-
preston Of religion. It is said that she
was a maiden Of Heliopolis, who be-
came Christian and desired to hon
or the chief mystery Of the creed in
some enduring form. When she OBJ
served a certain bath chamber being
constructed with only two windows, as
had always been the custom until that
time, she insisted that three entrances
for light should be built. For this act
Of rebellion her cruel father few into
demoniac rage, and with his own hands
beheaded the inspired maiden.
Instantly a terrific storm arose, as
II the very elements cried out their
loudest protest against the horrible
deed. To an accompaniment of crash
ing and reverbating thunder the
evil creature was destroyed by light
ming bolt. This allegory symbolizes
the conservation of architecture to ex-
press religious ideas.
From architectures Saint Barbara
became the patron of engineers. She
was always the protectress from thun-
der and afterward from its imitator,
artillery. In French ships the ammun-
milton room is still known as "la sainte
barbe."
PhilOlogists tell us that the name is
derived from the Greek root bar,
which means strong, and that it is
a repetition of the primitive peoples |
reduplicated barbar Every strong). |
From the same root came the Latin
barbarus and our own barbaric mean
Ing wild cruelty and rude ignorance,
or ill-adapted splendor.

POULTRY POINTERS

To get the most out Of poultry we
must put something into the business
feed, care, and a lot more of self.
Feed evenly and regularly, not a
feast today and famine tomorrow.
Feed the pullets not only for eggs
but for growth. They ought to keep
on growing for some time yet.
There may yet be days when road
dust can be gathered. Don't get so
busy at something else that you neg
lect this important piece of work.
It takes coaxing to get fowls to eat
food they are not accustomed to.
Keep box of dry bran where the
hens can have access to 1t.
When pullets start, they usually lay
eggs irregularly for while.
Bowel trouble is often suspected
with turkeys when 1t is nothing but
worms.
Mature guineas taken to a strange
place are very apt to stray off.
Every farm should have few geese
on it.
With poultry it is better to have
quality than quantity, If we cannot
have both.
1t is not impossible to get winter
eggs. What one has done another can
do.
Leghorns are delicately adjusted ma
chimes, and it does not take much to
upset them.
Roup, and many other poultry trou-
bles, are infectious. Don't forget to
wash the hands well after handling
sick fowls.
Some hens are sold too soon, and
many on some farms are kept too long.

Africa for preserving the Welwitschia

to the desert conditions Of its native
soil. The plant has trunk only foot
high and five or six feet across. It
may grow for more than century, but
has only two. leaves, which may reach

or three feet, eventually splitting up
into numerous long shreds. 1t has
many male and female flowers, which

scarlet scales--one flower In each
