IENPERAN ANlENTS
CFrom the State Journal)

Here S case of divorce reported in the newspapers. The paries in yolved part company and will be friends, Lut not man and wife. The reason the old One-different temperlnents. They were married only six months ago. and now they find they are not congeuial and so had better separate. Temperament is so often assigned as the cause of martial divergence. It is said that temperaments originate back in the four humOrs-the blood, the lymph, and the yellow and black biles. Or, in. other words, the sangutne, Iymphatus the bilious and melan- cholic ttemperaments. Thus tenn perament has a physical basis, and SC. comes under the domain of medi- cine or mind-more especially the latter. And so when temprament is set up as a ground of martial dis solution ,cne may be sure it is only a disease that the sufferer should have discovered before the marriage took place. Whether it is the lymph or the yellow bile cannot be easily ascertained, but 1t is certain the guilty temperament is hidden back there somewhere.
 What Is needed is a hospital for temperaments where one may go an be trained for the malady which is the seat O the temperament.

MONTDIDIER AGAIN
 IN ALLIED HANDS
Famous in History From Early
 Years of Christianity

Washington, D. C., Aug. 10.-The National Geographic Society from it's Washington headquarters issues the following war geography bulletin on Montdidier, a few miles east of Amiens:
 "Montdidier fell into enemy hands during the great German offensive of March and April, and now the Amer jeans, brigaded with the French, are aiding the latter in making the city untenable for the Huns.
 '"This little town, whose history dates back to the first millennium of the Christian era had a population of less than 5000 at the beginning of the war, but it was rich in historic as sociations. It is said to have derived it's name from the fact that Didier or Desiderius, the last of the Lombard kings, was imprisoned here in TIA by Charlemagne. It will be remembered that Charlemagne, having put aside his first wife, Desiderius' daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope Adrian with the Lombard monarch, and after marching an army across the Alps captured his erstwhile father-in law S capital city, Ticinum, and took the vanquished ruler back to France where he died in captivity.
 'Montdidier is attractively situated on an eminence on the banks of the river Don. It is the capital of an ar rondissement in the department of the Somme, and is 62 miles north of Paris by rail and 23 miles southeast of Amiens. Its chief industries before the war were tanneries and the man. ufacture of zinc-white.
 "When the tides of war finally re- cede it is probable that the three buildings in which the citizens of Montdidier took the greatest pride will be crumbling ruins. These are the Church of St. Pierre, which was built before Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, and which con- tains a tomb and font of the 11th cen tury; the Church of St. SepUlcre, a 15th-17th century edif1ce, and the Pa l lais de Justice, formerly the city cas- 1 tie. Tn the last named building visi- ! tors before the war were shown six unusually handsome Brussels tapes l tries of the 17th century. These were 1 undoubtedly removed before the Ger 1 mans entered the city
 "Montdidier's most famous son was Parmentier, the scientist who gave | impetus to the culture of the potato l in France statue erected here l commentaries his gift to the nation l "For a number of years this little | city was governed by it's own lords, l then passed under the dominion of
 the Counts of Crepy and Nalois. In 1 the 18th century 1t became a posses l sion of the French crown, and re- | ceived a charter of liberties. In 1856
 it offered a gallant and successful re-
 sistance to the Spanish invaders"
