What Solomon Did Not Know.

A romantic story comes from Syria.
Coal deposits have been found on
Mount Lebanon. The name Lebanon
Is derived from an old Jewish word
meaning "white;" the Lebanon range
meant to those who named it, "white
mountains" Under the white crust,
white not from snow but from the col
or of the lime stone, Turk the precious
black diamonds, as coal is called.
This Is very interesting, for it takes
the workmen Of the twentieth century
to the scene where SolOmon's subjects
toiled wien the temple Of Jerusalem
was building, thousand years before
Jesus was born. There it was that
they cut down cedars for the temple
Of the Lord; cut them from forests of
cedar which remain to this day.-The

SHINING LiQhts,

A short time ago while discussing the
war and the question Of saving,
Prof. Henry B. Longdon. head of the
department OF German in DePauw uni
versity, made the VOW that until the
kaiser was ki1led and the world forever
rid OF him. he would not use any cleo
trio lights in his classroom. The VOW
was taken more as a Joke than other
wise, but Professor Longdon has stuck
to 1t faithfully. A few days ago PROF.
A. f. CALDWELL another genuine all
American. asked Professor Longdon
regarding the resolution. and inquired
whether he was using any lights. This
was his answer: 81 don't need any
lights in my classes. because my stu
dents are al so bright" Now a NUM-
her OF professors believe they can fol-
low Professor Longdon's example be-

The manihot rubber tree cannot be ex-

The example Of the value of college

given last season by Vassar students

head Of the botany department, has
proclaimed the doctrine that ''the

Why WOMEN GET THEIR WAY
Prominent Characteristic o. the On,

Their Determination.

The main difference between men
and women is nowhere 20 marked -
It 10 In the distinction between char.
acter and ability.
A mans ability 10 entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character. In a man the two things
appear to be entirely Independent Of
one another.
But wOman's character IL deter.
mined by her ability, and her ability
- determined by her character. In
reality. therefore, women are much
more simple than men, although they
do not appear to be so. Women are
more complicated outwardly than men.
They offer more superficial variety.
But closer observation and association
among them tend to make them more
alike.
Men, on the other hand, grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better. This Is because their abilities
and characters being unrelated and the
proportionate measure Of each subject
to variations, new combinations are
constantly being presented. The va.
rtous things which 60 to make up the
motive power Of woman, on the other
hand, are more closely related Wom-
On, therefore, concentrate more than
men, although they do not seem to do

That explains why, If q woman wants
Q thing and man doesn't want her to
have 1t, she always gets 1t.
When q man wants q thing he plans

mind and will. When a woman wants
q thing she makes no plan at all-but
she gets 1t much more often than the

Sorghum as q Meat Cure.

Folks who like sugar-cured meat
may save sugar and develop sugar
cure flavor by using sorghum. This is
a suggestion made by P. F. Trowbridge
Of the University Of Missouri college
Of agriculture. Plain salt or salt and
pepper may be used in curing the meat.
After the meat is smoked the sugar.
cure flavor may be developed by
smearing the meat thoroughly with
sorghum. Wrap the meat and hang
1t where the mice cannot reach it. The
pepper may be omitted from the cure
and applied with the sorghum.
