DECLARES MEN ARE EDWARDS
Woman Says They Allow Clerks and
Restaurants to Sell Them Things
They Don't Want.

Men are such towards. They are
afraid to get off street car backward.
They allow clerks to bully them, to tire
them out until they purchase what
they don't want to purchase. A man
goes into q store and asks for knitted
de. The gentleman behind the counter
says they" aren't wearing knitted ties
any longer; will he look at something
else? The man says mo-" perhaps
grumplly; then looks and finally buys.
But a woman doesn't do that She
says mo" and looks somewhere else,
trying and trying and trying to get
what she wants, even though her purse
may finally compel her to buy the sec
ond choice. But she isn't coward.
Men are such towards. They enter
a restaurant and order a steak-well
done. When 1t comes 1t is exceedingly
rare or burnt; they don't like 1t and
growl, but usually they eat 1t. Or per-
haps they send 1t back and insist on
having another. That second one is
worse than the first, and the man
knows 1t, but he thinks he has
triumphed, or pretends he has, and
thanks the waiter-and gives him a
good tip.
A woman doesn't do that. If she
doesn't like what she gets she sends
1t back. And If she doesn't get good
service she is very likely not to tip.
Men say that women are cruel. But
women aren't towards. It's the men
who are that.-San Francisco Call and
Post,

KILLS RATS WITH BL0WGUNS
Weapon Peculiar to Natives Of the
sulu Archipelago Can Be Used
With Deadly Effect.

We were often visited by flocks Of
flying foxes from Tawi-Tawi, an Is
land of the Sulu archipelago. These
huge bats have a spread of wing from
8 to An feet and their fur is very
short but soft and delicate. Their
chattering would often keep US awake
at night while they Toasted on the
seeds of cottonwood trees in front Of
our house.
AS usual, two house snakes took up
their residence with us and assisted
us In keeping our rats down. When
they showed any disposition to wan
der elsewhere and came out from I'M
der the house, they were switched"
for their fckleness and driven back
again.
Our own contribution toward rat
extinction was by the use Of the Moro
blowgun. This Is a polished piece
Of ebony with a bore about three
quarters Of an inch in diameter and
about four feet long. The projectile
is a steel barb to which is attached
a close tuft Of soft feathers. This is
inserted in the base Of the barrel and
a quick, strong puff will send It
through the air for 90 to go yards.
There is no way of sighting 1t, but
long practice makes them very &C
curate.
I have seen native children bring
ing small birds down from fairly
large trees with them. When the barb
is poisoned all that Is necessary is
to break the skin and this perfectly
silent little tuft Of feathers coming
from the jungle and found sticking
between your shoulders means a hor-
rible death.-Sydney A. Cloman in
Worlds Work.

There is a sentence in Margaret
Duchess of Newcastle's "True Rela.

which has 400 lines. The sentences In
this book average nearly two pages
apiece; it contains 16 sentences and
80 pages.

Button Statistics.

If all the buttons made in year in
the United States were distributed
equally among the population each
man, woman and child would receive
1872 with a few thousand left over for
a championship series Of Button, but
ton, who's got the button?" In other
words there are 10000 100000 of these
useful little articles manufactured in
this country yearly, and the industry
has grown to such proportions that 1t
equals in dollars invested and value Of
products the cutlery industry or the
manufacture Of oilcloth and linoleum
America has practical monopoly
Of the manufacture Of vegetable ivory
buttons, which are made in enormous
quantities from the togua nut. This

EMBROIDERY IS ANCIENT ART
Has Been Practiced for Ages Among
Both Civilized and Savage
Peoples.

Embroidery is the art of ornament
ing cloth and other materials with the
needle. Most of the embroideries made
today are usually copies of the ancient
ones.
Embroidery is believed to have been
applied to skins almost as soon as
needle and thong were first employed
to join pieces of skins together into
garments. In Lapland the natives en-
broider their reindeer skin clothing
with needle of reindeer bone, three of
reindeer slnew and applique Of strips
Of hide.
Travellers say that in Central Africa,
among the primitive tribes there, the
girls embroider skins with figures Of
flowers and animals, supplementing
the effect with shells and feathers.
Among the ancient Greek textiles
exhumed from Crlmean graves are
both tapestries and embroiderles now
preserved in the hermitage at Petro-
grad. One Of the embroideries is at
tributed to the Fourth century B. @.
and is in colored woods on wool.

Chinese Suspension Bridges.

The Chinese have been acquainted
with suspension bridges from time i'm
memorial. Their most ancient historl-
ans write Of bridges hung on iron
chains or on rattan. Such structures
seemed strange to the missionaries
who reached China. They called them
flying bridges" and one recounts his
horror as he felt the bridge swing be-
meath his steps as he crossed deep
chasm.
In Europe people ridiculed these
travellers tales and treated the &C
counts of the missionaries as mere
stories. Later on, when they re-
ceived verLhcation, the attitude Of dis
trust persisted, and the old bridges,
dangling on their rusty chains, were
held in derislon. Then came forgetful-
ness, and when in 1923, the suspension
bridge was introduced In Europe, not
on rusty chains, but on new steel
cables, people applauded the engi-
neers amazing ingenuity.

HanseatIe LEAGUE in Germany.

The Hanseatic league was polltico-
commercial association established in
1241 by certain cities of northern Ger
Germany for mutual benefit and pro-
lection. 1t was organized by Hamburg,
Bremen and Lubbock, and ultimately In
Guided So towns. Its affairs were con-
trolled by diet called the Hansa,
which met every three years, generally
at Lubbock, and dictated the policy Of
the association. In 1348 the league
proclaimed war against Waldemar,
king Of Denmark, and in 1928 against
Eric, with 40 ships and 1900 troops,
exclusive Of seamen.
The league virtually dissolved in
1920, having been greatly injured by
the Thirty Years war. The rise of
commerce In the Low countries during
the Fifteenth century also contributed
materially to its decline. In 1870 Ham
burg, Bremen and Lubbock, the last re-
naming cities Of the league, were in
corporated into the German empire.

orioin Of "E PIurlbus Unum.'

Although it is not quite certain what
suggested our national motto, "E pluri-
bus unum," the origin Of the phrase is
not obscure. In writing of the init
mate conversation Of high-minded
friends Cicero says (De Oficiis, book l,
cap. ~: $50 is effected what Pytha-
goras desires in friendship, that many
souls should be united in one cut unus
fat ex pluribus)." The same thought
Is expressed in almost the same words
in De Amlcitia. cap. %, "The value Of
friendship lies in this, ut unus quasi
animus fiat ex pluribus." st. Angus
tine also says In his Confessions"
(book ~, cap 81, that such friends are
wont to snkindle each others minds
"et ex pluribus unum facere." The
phrase is found with a different appli-
cation in the "Moretum," a short poem
attributed to Virgil describing the COM
position of a salad: "Color est .
plurlbus unus."

Numerous persons in excellent ply

psychopathic tendencies. These may
cause dangerous slowing down Of all

Hence it is fully as important to

is, indeed, accentuated year by year,
with the increasing density Of auto
