De Valera Hats Dali.

Dublin, Dec. 16.-(By A. P.)-The
crowd greeting the members of the
Dali Eireann at the entrance of Uni
versity college was much thinner to-
day than on the two previous days
pef its consideration of the Irish peace
treaty.
The private sessions of the Dali, it
is declared in some quarters, have
been devoted largely to an attempt
to discover some method whereby it
can accept the treaty and at the same
time not register defeat for Eamon
De Valera and his followers. The
principal difficulty in the way is said
to be De Valera himself.
The attitude of the republican army
is causing much speculation. Its
heads in the Dali are admittedly di-
vided on the question of accepting
the treaty, but all the leaders agree
in deprecating any interference by
the army in the political decision.

The common volcanic rock known
as basalt cannot be easily shaped with
chisel and hammer, but DIR. Ribbe, a
French experimenter, claims much
success for his method of shaping by
molding after it has been melted at
about 1900 degrees Centigrade. His
first product was a CLASSY substance.
which he has since been able to
change to the crystalline structure of
the original rock by devitrifying
process. The rock which has been
melted and nodded is found to be su-
perior to the natural basalt i'm resist

proves to be especially desirable for
such purposes as paving, curbstones
and stairs. 1t can be shaped with
great smoothness and exactness. AS
the material is not attacked by acids,

use and it is also an excellent cleo

The Worlds Advancement.

Those who, in retrospect. recall the
days of the hand sickle may well
marvel at the developments which have
taken place within their recollection
They have seen, besides the develop
ment in agriculture, the Inauguration
of almost countless devices and utili-
ties. They have seen railroads built
across the continent, the telegraph and
telephone perfected, great steamship
lines established and more .latterly the
motor car and the airplane utilized in
everyday affairs. Until the hand sickle
was laid aside 1t had been used since
that time to which the memory of men
runneth not to the contrary. And yet
to them, 1t may seem the advent of
the grain cradle and the crude horse
drawn reaper was but as yesterday.
Personified. those homely early devices
seem almost like the explorers of the
earlier ages who set out upon voyages
of discovery with nothing to guide
them but a vision of something grand
er and more beautiful than their eyes
had ever beheld.-Exchange

WoMAN's LOVE DEMANDS ALL
Can Never Be Satisfied With Anything
Less Than Absolute Dominion
Over One Man.

What every woman wants more than
anything else in the world is absolute
dominion over one man. There is a
peculiarly vampish trend in feminine
love which takes the form of demand
ing entire possession of the creature
upon whom the affections have been
fastened
Every woman wants to feel that, no
matter what his occupation Ii the
most engrossing business or merely a
game of golf-she is ever the COM
peIling note at the back Of her mans
head He must NOT forget her for n
singles instant, and he must be regret
fully conscious that nothing Is. quite
satisfactory, lacking the saving grace
Of her presence. And she requires
continually to be assured of this. She
believes that I'm boarding her perpet-
ual recollection he holds taIisman
rendering him immune from the attrac-
lions or Establishments of all other
women.
1t is difficult for the feminine men
tally to grasp the curious power of
detachment of the masculine. A wom-
an cannot comprehend, much less SYM
pathize with, that trait by which a
man can diyest himself completely of
any thought of her while absorbed in
something else.
A mans mind-and this particular
interests like a number of COM
partments, each sealed from the other
and docketed as TO contents. While
he is in one, he shuts out everything
pertaining to any other.
A woman has not this capability of
detachment Whether she is playing
bridge or apparently obsessed with
some knotty domestic detail, she is
always subconsciously aware of the
one.
The retentive quality is the pre-
vailing characteristic of woman. 1t is
at once her greatest strength and her
greatest weakness-she cannot bear
TO let CO. If she sees the fame of a
love on the wane she tries fraAtically
to restore it to it's full force. A man
faced with the same contingency is
apt to be more resigned-or brutal
and makes haste to finish completely
the cooling affection.
A man likes to do thing, have
done with it, and consign all memory
to oblivion-to wipe the slate clean
and be ready for something new

when sunday Was Abandoned.

The movement to enforce 'sBlue
Law" Sunday on the people of the
United States recalls the fact that only
once since the days of Moses on Mt
Sinai has Sunday been abandoned by
any nation claiming Jehovah as Gcd.
That once was during and Immediately
after the French revolution. A decree
was drawn up by Goblet, archbishop of
Paris, that the French should worship
Liberty, Equality and Reason in place
of God, and, to make sure of the peo-
pies forgetting of the church. the
buildings were denuded of their sacred
ornaments and civic feasts substituted
for the feasts of saints days, while
Sunday was wiped from the calendar
by creating months of 30 days each
and giving a holiday every ten days.

DANCER in uncIean DISHES.

Just how serious is the danger Of
infection from imperfectly washed
dishes i'm eating places has not been
determined, but the high count of
bacteria left upon restaurant utensils
suggests unpleasant possibilities. In
the investigation of Roy 8. Dearstyne,
health official of Charlotte, n. c., the
utensils were from six eating houses,
Of which one used modern electric
dishwasher. The bacteria on hand
washed coffee mugs from different
lunch rooms ranged from 10000 to
100000; on water glasses, $4,000 to
10000: spoons, S,400 to 10000;
knives, 1,5O0 to 10000; forks. 1.5OO
to 1900. With the cleanly machine
washing, the coffee mugs had $500
bacteria, no other utensils more than
1000.

sshoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed
iifo have n charmed life.
On one occasion a man named Han
cock tried to trap him. In placing
the bait inside the trap, Hancock ac-
,cidentally touched the trigger, and the
logs came down and imprisoned him.
He tried TO pry the heavy timbers

shift them an inch. From one side OF
the trap TO the other he went. uncon-
sciously initiating the movements
for weak point. All his efforts were
fruitless
The pangs OF hunger were now COM
ing on, and night was near. Hancock
seraped up some chips and twigs, made
q fire and roasted part of the deer
that he had brought to bait the trap
with. Being lightly dressed, he suf-
:fered keenly from the cold night air.
He lay down on the ground, but sud

Knowing his savage nature, Han
cock withdrew to the other side of the
trap as the big form rose up on his
hind legs. He could feel the bears

the logs upon his face; and, fearing
that the brute would thrust his claws
in. he kept moving from side to side.
Daylight came at last, and Nose

fire and cooked the rest of the deer

The next morning, the neighbors,
seeing Hancock's horse in the yard,
surmised that the ''outIaw of the Rock

eeral cattlemen started out in search
of Hancock. In the middle of the
afternoon they. heard shooting, but at
first they could see nothing.
Hancock had torn his shirt into
strips. making a rope about 20 feet
long. He had then tied two stones
to a string about yard long and fas-
tened one end of the long line to the
middle. Then he threw the stones
out between the cracks of his prison
toward the rifle. After two hours
of practice he was able to drag the
gun within reach. He then tried des-
perately to ut his way out by shoot
ing holes through a log about foot
in diameter Before he got very far
his comrades had located the shots
and released him.

THEIR LAST FEAST
Mohammedan Fanatics Paid
Dearly for brain Stew"
Excess of Zeal Discouraged by French
Authorities in Northern Senegal
in Effective Manner

B0omba Is not the seat of Moham-
medan culture in Africa. Boomba
lies In northern Senegal, behind the
west coast of Africa, Inundated at
the onward strides of Dakkar, a
worldly se;tper. knowing neither re-
ligion nor shame. And let IL be known
to all men that tie natives in the
hinteriand nigh unlo Boomba are as
the ''wee sma' hours of the mornin,"
In blacklist darkness; but seeking the
light OF great awakening.
Last month. while the Clontarf,
stout shipp-ng-board vessel. now at
pier %. foot of Pacific street. lay to
in the road cad at Dakkar, a wave of
revival hit the vicinity of Boomba, ac-
eording TO the assistant engineer.
The blacks got religion and the
blaeklands -resounded with the chant
of There is no God but Allah, and
Mohammed is his prophet"-in fervent
Senegalese.
Now, the German found the Sene-
galese a fiercesome soldier On IFS
native jungle trail he is even more so.
On the warpath went the newly con-
verted Mohammedans. with fire in one
hand and the sword in the other, after
the fashion of Saladdin's host. They
were bound to -Mohammed Mo-
Furthermore. they were bound on a
quest to show their brethren, unbeliev-
ing hogs on the docks of Dakkar, that
warrior of the jungles could acquire
that polish which some say comes only
to citizens of the worldly state, dwell
ing in great metropolis.
There CHANGED across their march a
party of Frenchmen. hunting wild
beasts of the field. The Frenchmen
were, moreover, unbelieving dogs. The
slaughter was swift, pitiless and al
most painless. Eleven dead Gauls
were laid at the feet of the chief of the
Boomba hinterland.
"My children" cried he, in a rolling
brogue such as is banded about in the
jungle, behold these men of culture
and little faith. They have the wis
dom of them who sit i'm high places
but they have the faith of the grovel-
ing jackal. We have done well to
chop off their heads. Sow we will dc
well to acquire their wisdom. Let us
have brain stew, made from the brains
of the Frenchmen, in whom there was
wisdom but little faith
And so the stew was eaten.
About a week later, dozen of these
fierce seekers after a great wisdom
were gathered in by the French au
thorities. And in another week they
were sent to another land, far beyond
the clouds, where the houris tread the
mazes of the heavenly dance and wis
dom, comes to all men who are true
believers. At least, that Is the tale as
told by the assistant engineer. And
thus endeth the quest of the converts
