The reason that gentle, refined girls are particularly attracted by brutal and rowdy men is because we are in stinctively drawn toward our opposites There is something alluring in the un- known type. It is nature trying to ad- just the balance of humanity so that we will not have at one end of the scale those who are all animal, and at the other end those who are all soul. But nature thinks only of the good of the race, not of the happiness of the in dividual, and this difference which draws people together before marriage separates them after marriage and such unions nearly always end in misery for both parties.

 Dear Miss Dix: Why is it when married man pays a little friendly at- tention to a woman where he is em- ployed every one starts gossiping and thinks he is in love with her, even the woman herself?

ODD EGGS OF THE MURRE
Pacific Coast Bird Picks Its Own
From Among Thousands Of
Others.

The California murre is by far the
cOmmOnest bird on the rocks along the
coast 1t crowds together in immense
colonies. The bird lays single egg in
the open, with no sign of nest, not
even bit of grass or a stick to keep
1t from rolling.
Its peculiar shape helps to keep it
in place. even on the bare, sloping rock,
and IL it Is accidentally started down
grade by the movement of bird, it
does not roll straight but swings
around like top on its own axis and
comes to a standstill little lower

WHITTIER WAS IN LOVE ONCE
Writer'S Romance With Elizabeth
Lloyd His Only Sweetheart, Told
in q Little Volume.

Whittier never married. His heart
never yearned in verse for Highland
Mary or a Maid Of Athens, and SO far
as his work, and the superficial aspects
of his life were concerned, he seemed
to be so remote from the divine-or
human-passion as Joan OF Arc or
Savonarola.
And yet Is it now known the poet
who walked his days In lonely bache-
lorhood had had romance, had loved
and lost had really in his own life
enacted, in a measure, the world-old
theme which found such haunting ex-
preston in his own maud Muller" The
story is told in little volume, whit
tiers Unknown Romance" in which
his letters to Elizabeth Lloyd, Whit
tiers only sweetheart" are repro
duced. The lack of Elizabeth's letters
to him, however, leaves the story in
complete. They We're destroyed, for
some reason, not hard to surmise, by
the lady's request.
Few illusions in Whittier's poems
are traceable to her, though the COM
paniOn of his 'MonadnOck," whose
sweet influence he acknowledged. is
said to have been his Elizabeth, and In
his own letters he attributed much of
his inspiration on various themes to
conversations he had with her.-De-

100 PER CENT PERFECT WHITE
Made From Pure Barium ssuiphate-No
Black Shows Complete Absence
Of Color.

Black has ordinarily been called mo
color an. taken to denote the absence
Of color Likewise, white. being con-
stituted Of all cOlors. may also be con-
sidered as no color. A white body is
assumed to reflect all the light that
strikes it. There is no absorption and
hence there is no color. A black body
abs0rbs all the light that impinges
upon it and reflects none, therefore
there is absence of all color.
Theoretically this is true. but there
is no white that will reflect 100 per
cent of the light, and no black that will
absorb 100 per cent of the light. We
often hear Of whitest white, until a
whittier one comes along and displaces
same facr holds good for black. But.
inasmuch as some white must be taken
as standard of comparison choice
must be made of the whitest white.
Pure bariuIn sulphate is. accordingly.
taken as the 100 per cent perfect white.
that strikes it.
From practical standpoint 1t is
equally incorrect to state that black
denotes absence of all color. For one
black is blacker than the next and the
blacklist black, which is assumed to
have no color at all. may be found to
possess some light trace of color when
compared with another new black.
Furthermore, as the eye is not absO-
lutely perfect and as its sensitivity is
not infinite absence Of light, as de
fined by the sensation produced in it,
is relative only. Even the deepest
black would exhibit traces of color,
would reflect little light, If our eyes
were sensitive enough to detect it,

Three Thousand Fold.

Seventy ears were raised from one
grain of wheat in an experiment at
South Hornchurch. Essex, England.
The seed was sown in March in pit
q yard wide and Is inches deep. AS
soon as sprouts appeared they were
lightly covered with earth, and from
then all through the summer the
sprouting grain was covered over and
over again until the pit was full and
IL. saifaoe covered with grass Of
wheat. The shoots remained quiescent
during the winter, but in spring grew
rapidly. and eventually, in the follow
ing autumn, IS stalks were cut. Of
which no fewer than seventy had
slpened ears. These seventy ears
weighed over quarter of "a pound
and averaged forty-four grains to the
ear. Surely an amazing harvest from

She Accused Stepson.

F1avia Maximinna Faustina was the
second wife Of Constantine the Great
In the year 306 her father took her to
Gaul. where he gave her in marriage
to the Emperor Constantine. She was
for a long time most exemplary wife
and mother. Her devotion to her hus-
band was such that she even sacri-
Heed her fathers life to him, after dis
covering that her parent was involved
in plot against Constantine's life.
Faustina has been accused Of stain
ing the last years of her life by. the
commission of many crimes, among
others that Of causing the death OF
Crispus, the son of Constantine by a
former wife, by making false accusa-
lions against him.
Constantine revenged himself on
Faustina for having caused his sons
death by having her suffOcated in a

sheep Buried In Snow Three Weeks.
A correspondent recalls an incident
which happened some years ago ON
the moers between Huddersaeld and
Oldham, England. A heavy fall OF
snow had drifted up and many OF the
sheep which had been grazing on the
moor were buried. For three, weeks
the snow held fast. and drift after
drift was searched BY shepherds for
the missing sheep.
At the end Of the third week three
sheep were discovered buried beneath
q drift in one Of the cloughs. They
were In a very emaciated state. and
had apparently lived by eating the
wool on each others back. for all
three were as bare. as newly shorn
sheep. One died soon after. but the
other two completely recovered from
their enforced starvation.
