Bow Bishop and Patriarch.

A correspondent writes: a frlend
who was at Bagdad for King Feisuis
coronation tells me that the most in
teresting figuTA In the brilliant crowd
of notables there was solemn, aloof
boy of twelve, with big, staring eyes,
and a dignified bearing, who spoke
hardly at all. This was Mar (Saint)
Shimun, Patriarch of the HISTORIANS
the youngest prelate in the world. The
HISTORIANS are an ancient Christian
sect, following the Fifth century
hcresy of HISTORIANS their churches
are primitive, and their Hturgies very
antique. The office of patriarch is
hereditary. This explains the youth
of Mar Shimun. His family have pro-
vided a patriarch for 400 years; when
one patriarch dies he is succeeded by
his nearest relative. whatever his age.
The solemn boy who holds office at
present has never my friend tells me,
been photographed or interviewed, and
lives recluse in remote KURDISH
village 1000 feet above sea level.

SarGines.

Sardnes take their name from Sar-
dinia, but Of the sardines that come
TO the United States only a small
percentage come from the waters that
surround Sardinia. One of the large
sardine fishing grounds Is off the
northwest coast of France, and the
sardines of Brittany are famous. Per-
haps more Brittany sardines are
eaten in the United States than any
other kind of imported sardines.
Prices paid for Brittany sardines by
French packers are high. Last sea-
son the fishermen obtained from 300
TO 400 francs per 100 kilos, kilo (or
kilogram) being approximately two
and a quarter pounds. This season
the packers are paying the fishermen
from 100 to 160 francs a kilo. The
normal price before the war was 30 to
40 francs kilo.

TEST Love BOND
Writer FavorS Brief Separations
of Welded Pairs.
Presumably Based on Old Adase De-
cIaring That "Absence Makes the
Heart Grow Fonder."

There are not to my knowledge any
available statistics from which one
can say with certainty whether mar
ried bliss depends on the husbands oc-
cupation in life. The subject came up
for discussion in a company composer
of about a dozen men and women anu
while one or two maintained that
husbands calling had nothing to 90
with the success of marriage, the gen
eral opinion appeared TO be that II was
a factor of very great Importance,
writes "a Bachelor" in the continent
al edition of the London Mail.
One woman went so far as to draw
I'D an order of merit, as follows: Navy
men, doctors with good practices, com
mercial travellers, explorers "a smah
class). At the very bottom of the list
she placed university professors, ac-
tors, clergymen and men of no occu-
patton.
The woman's own husband was a
person of independent means VINO
spent most of his time at home ana Il
appeared that her criterion of nus
bands quality was the length OF tlihe
he was deprived of his wife's society,
Assuming that all married couples
start with the same advantage, II is
perhnps broadly true that the nus
bands absences and homecomliSs
tend to prolong and intensity domestic
love.
AS a fearful but wise young woman
once observed, sit is terrible to con-
template pouring out tea for the same
face every morning for 40 years.
Viewed in cold blood, it is certainly
a prospect not devoid of monotony
and even terror for both parties.
Yet the happiest couple 1 ever knew
was a clergyman and his wife, VINO
had brought up a family of nine ana

Lightkeepers make good husbands
T have known a dozen Of them, every
one happy in his marriage. They spend
six weeks on a rock and, weather per-
mitting, a fortnight ashore with their
families. These fortnights are like re-
curing honeymoons.
Farmers, on the other hand, who
are never far from home, make easy
and comfortable husbands, even where
marriage was not preceded by court
ship or even acquaintance.
Frequently in the British islands,
Young farmers marriage is arranged

makers" 1t is union of property
rather than of persons; and know
of two instances where bride ana
groom met for the first time in church
on the wedding morning. Yet both
were successful.
A farmer and his wife are usually
working partners. And it suggests
that when husband and wife have
common interest the husbands occu-
patton may not matter. At any rate,
