MARRIAGE Question.

Why is it that 1t never occurs to q
certain type of woman that there may
be some men in the world too good for
her to marry? Every man with any
brains at all knows that there are some
women in the world too good for him
to marry. The average business man
SHES off from the brilliant and beau
tiful woman, lest, marrying her, he
should be patiently outclassed through
his life. He wants a woman who is
just his equal in looks and intelligence
no more-at least not so much more
that he will have to suffer in contrast.
But women apparently never give
such considerations moments
thought. I have seen brilliant men
loaded through life with women who
caught them very young and who
stopped growing at nineteen, while the
men kept right on. These women must
have known in the days when their
frances were quoting to them poetry
which they couldn't understand that
they were not the equals of their men.

Charm Of Old san Antonio.

The charm of the old city lies chief
ly around the historic spots and build
lngs in which the romance of its early
history is centered. Rarely do we en-
ter a city that can boast of ancient
edifices and hallowed ground, the his
tory of which is known the country
over. Rarer still is the community
whose quaint buildings, picturesque
scenes and romantic atmosphere are
its main attractions, Turing thousands
to its gates each year. Such, however,
Is the boast of San Antonio, Tex, one
of the quaintest and most interesting
cities in the United States. Nowhere
else may you find a greater appeal to
the romantic and the picturesque and
having such hospitable welcome ex-
tended you; nowhere will you find
such blending of the ancient with
the modern as In this delightful city
of our own st.-Architecture.

NOT PLACE OF IMPORTANCE
References to Town Of Joppa Only
Occasionally Met With In Old
Testament Writings.

The town of Joppa was never with
In the territory of the Israelites, in
Old Testament times, and so meets
with only casual reference from the
Old Testament writer's. Thus 1t is
mentioned, by the writer of II Chron-
icles, as a seaport for the importa-
ton of Lebanon timber, which was
floated down the coast. Said Hiram,
the king of Tyre, in the course of his
"kind answer" to Solomon's embassage
for workmen and materials. "And we
will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much
as thou shalt need; and we will bring
it to thee in flotes by sea to Joppa;
and thou shalt carry it to Jerusalem"
And the great cedars of Lebanon
were hauled across the country be
tween Joppa and Jerusalem. JOppa
came into the hands of the Jews in the
time of the Maccabees, and, although
Pompey restored it to the Syrians, it
was later given back to the Jews, with
ar exemption from tax.

Value in skim MIX.

Skim milk is chiefly casein. and
while it is food rich in protein 1t
was formerly fed to the pigs or thrown
away. Chemical research brought out
its value in paper sizing, in making
water soluble paints for interior use
and for many other purposes.
Another use for skim milk consists
under a patented process of emulsify-
ing coconut oil and skim milk in water
and then stabfiizing them so that the
product has substantially the same
food qualities as milk and cream, and
1t looks and tastes like milk and
cream. The skim milk may be shipped

NOT GOOD JUDGE OF POETRY
One Explanation for NapoIeon's Pecu.
liar Worship at Shrine of Second
Rate Writer Of Verse.

The, curious Partially which NapO-
leon showed for the poems of OssIan,
particularly "Temora," puzzled his
contemporaries, as it since has his BIZ
ographers, says the Christian Science
Monitor. 1t is related that he carried
a beautifully bound copy of Ossian
with him to Egypt; and that on being
read passages of the Odyssey by the
poet Arnault, while on board ship, he
contemptuously exclaimed: you call
that sublime! What a difference be-
tween your Homer and my Ossian,"
and, reading some passages from '"Te-
NORA" he said, This is grand, and
sentimental and sublimel Ossian is a
poet, Homer mere drivel." Napoleon's
preference for the works of the mys-
terry poet of the North continued
throughout his life. He was reading
Ossian in 1897, and a well-thumbed
copy was among his books at st. He
lena. There have been many explana-
tons given for so strange literary
preference. The Countess de Montho-
Ion unkindly remarks that Napoleon
was VIGOROUSLY deficient in his sense
Of rhythm and that therefore poetry
which was not poetry at all as far as
form went, for he read Ossian In
French prose suited him very nicely.

nothing seems to happen. We spec
tators are afraid that they will spend
SO much time In argument that the
flag will never be raised at ALL"
'This is very interesting" said the
traveller.
He approached the group and adj
dressed 1t. Patriots" he said, eff you
will stand with me a moment and all
pull the rope steadily in one direction,
your object will be accomplished"
"But we have different ideas of d.
rection," they told him.
"We will discuss those afterward."
said the traveller; Gin the meantime let
us take one long, strong pull together
and see what happens"
With much distrust his suggestion
was acted upon, the flag went swiftly
to the top of the pole and opened glo-
riously above the cheering populace.
The patriots wiped their heated
brows and looked at each other.
IF that thought had occurred to US
some time ago." said one, "a great
deal of our valuable time might have
been saved"
"Also," remarked the traveller, who
by this time had been recognized by
several as the Spirit of Cooperation,
'the flag would have been flying much

New York,s Wild Animals.

New Yorks census of wild animals,
the species which live in forests, show
there are in the state 1850 deer
which have been actually seen by
game wardens. How the game war
dens were able to distinguish them all
Is not disclosed, but George D. Pratt,
commissioner, in a paper read before
the International Association of Fish
and Game Commissioners recently,
stated that in the above number E,573
were known to be does and $3.50
bucks. During the winter of 1916
1917, he said, there were about 10000
deer in the state, where no does and
only bucks with horns three inches
long are allowed to be killed. This
year, he continued, every holder of
hunting license will be required to
report the amount of game killed dur
ing the season.

Fresh Air for Health.

Methuselah was the first real fresh
air crank, according to the version
presented by DIR. Vincent Y. Bowditch
of Boston, an exchange says. The req.
son why Methnseiah lived so long, he
said, was that he knew enough to get
all the fresh air that he could and to
live out of doors day and night. Hip
pocrates, the famous early Greek ply
sician, recommended fresh air as a
cure for many diseases, and q number
of ancient and medieval writer's in
medicine followed his suggestion.
Benjamin Franklin, in an article
written in 1776, extolled the virtue Of
fresh air and emphasized how easy
1t was TO prolong ones life by living
In the open.
