If you will observe, you will per-
ceive that the girls who are most
boy-crazy never have any beaux.
The women who are most anxious to
marry never catch a husband, and
those ladies who are all heart, and
ready to bestow their devotion on
any one who will have it, never find
any takers.
For, again generally speaking,
men are by nature huntsmen. They
enjoy the chase of the petticoat. The
more difficult a woman is to catch,
the more they desire her, and the
less she cares for them, the more
they care for her. The woman who
tries to run down a man seldom
catches him, for the more she hot
foots after him, the faster he sprints.
If a man belongs to the strong,
virile, aggressive type, woman
makes a great mistake to wear her
heart upon her sleeve. The mere
knowledge that he can have her for
the asking keeps him from wanting
her. The knowledge that she loves
him does not thrill him. 1t bores
him. She does not rouse his sport
ing blood. When he goes ACQUIRING
what he wants is to take a shot at
bird on the wing, not to knock
over setting hen in barnyard.
The only woman that this type
of man ever really falls in love with
or who can ever hold him, is the
woman who fiouts him; the woman
he is never sure of; the woman
whose heart is a citadel that he has
to fight with all his skill and per-
sistence to take, and even when he
dues break in he feels that he has
never got beyond the first defense,
and that there is sacred inner

Now that the wind has shaken
The last leaf from tfe thorn,
Now, with the woods fcrsaken
And the empty fields forlorn,
Let the desolate spaces waken
To the music of hound and horni
TIE feet of the year are flying
As the years before them have fed.
We see that the leaves are dying;
We know that the flowers are dead;
And we hear the wild geese crying
In their southwark flight oerhead;
And our hungry hearts are signing
For the flash of the white and red.
For this is the wise gods guiding
When winds have scattered the rose.
And earth for while lies hiding
In a mantle made of the SHOWS,
And the gales from the north are gliding.
And the gates of the summer close
That the lords of the land go riding
And the horn on the upland blows.

CURIOUS FOCUSING OF SOUNDS
But the Explanation Of Existence of
"Whlspering Galleries" ls In the
Main Simple.

The curious focusing Of sounds In

ness The late Lord Rayleigh obtained
evidence that the sound waves fol-

In new experiments reported to the
Royal society by g. V. Roman and G.
A. Sutherland, ray Of light was
guided by flexible mirror, and the
reflection showed alternate bands Of
light and darkness. In observations
with a steady source Of sound at one
point in the dome Of st. Paul's, It was
found that similar alterations Of
sound and comparative silence were
produced at intervals of about a wave
length of the sound as the ear was
moved away. Very pronounced fiuctu-
ations Of intensity were also noted
when the observer'S head was moved
parallel to the curved WALL instead Of
radially, the effect being most marked
at the side of the gallery opposite the
source Of sound. The sensitive fame
