Why They "Joined Up"
for Better or Wors>

Little did think what an interesting
task | had set myS.lf when set out to
inquire why some wives and husbands
had married
Let us get over the unpleasant part
first. | asked young wife why she
had married, since she apparently took
little interest in her husband and
home
"Oh, | wanted to be free. Mother
wouldn't let me have latchkey, and
if was ten minutes late coming home
at night there was as much fuss as If
the house had caught fire. So 1 es-
capped with the first boy who asked
me. He's not much of a catch, either"
incidentally, that woman finds 1t Is
impossible to do exactly what one
likes even when married. Her hus-
band watches the clock" when she's
out, too!
Next man told me he married his
wife because he was sorry for her. She
was unhappy at home and he couldn't
bear to see her cry. Now he sees what
fool he's been, and from what l
gather 1t is he who makes her cry now
adays LIS to be hoped that no other
man will come along and pity her.
why did l marry?" echoed another
man. "Why, because she is the sweet
est, best and dearest little girl in the
world, and | just couldn't have lived
without her" Pleasant hearing words
like that, isn't it?-Vera Leslie, In

NeUer Taught to Speak,
Children GreU Up Dumb

Akbar, one of the first of the great
moguls who ruled India, has been
named the Asiatic Charlemagne. He
was a statesman and an educator, and
built palace for the reception of men
who loved learning and sought after
wisdom. The great mOguls passion
for knowledge is said to have been
shown by whimsical experiment he
once made to determine if 1t was true,
as he had heard, that Hebrew was the
natural language of all who had never
been taught any other tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
a dozen nursing children to be shut up
in castle, six leagues from Agra, MS
capital city. Each child was reared
by dumb nurse; the porter also was
a mute and was forbidden, upon pain
of death, to open the gates Of the cas-
tie. When the children were twelve
years old Akbar ordered them TO be
brought before him.
Men learned In Sanskrit, in Arabic,
In Persian and In Hebrew were assem-
bled at the royal palace to tell what
languages the children spoke. Akbar,
seated on his throne and surrounded
by these linguists, ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was ad-
dressed. and. to the surprise of the
assembly, every one answered by
sign. Not a child could speak word.
They had all learned from their nurses
to express themselves by gestures.

Odd dumping" Customs
in Various Countrie.

jumping customs are to be found
in numerous countries among the SUI
perstltious peasantry. In Russia, on
Midsummer eve, young men and
maidens carrying straw figure Of a
mythical hero, jump over a bonfire in
couples This act is supposed to help
the crops. In Baganda, South Africa,
when the beans are ripe, woman calls
upon her eldest son to eat some of
them which she has cooked. II she
neglects to do this it is believed that
she will fall Ill. After the meal her
husband must jump over her, Follow
ing this the beans may be eaten with
IMMUNITY by the family. These people
also treat fishing tremendously. The
first catch Of the season is devoted to
the god Musasa. The second catch Is
taken home and, after the fish have
been cooked and eaten, the man of the
family jumps over his wife and all is
well. Otherwise, distress may ensue
In Uganda, when a warrior returns to
his home after a campaign, his first act
is to jump over his wife. Before start
ing out on a warlike expedition each
general must jump over his wife, or
disaster will befah.

Ancient Plate Priced
by Historical Society

The Verendrye plate, a square bit
of leaden plate, Is said to be the most
celebrated bit of matter in South Da-
kota's history. 1t reposes in the CAPT
toll building at Pierre, in possession OF
the South Dakota Historical society.
1t was found buried In the earth near
Pierre in 1917.
This remarkable plate was prepared
either in France or in Montreal at the
request of the older Verendrye, and
in anticipation Of the expedition of
1741, which had been planned by his
eldest son Pierre, into the Mandan
country in the far wilderness Of
America. 1t is thought that the ex-
plofers planted the plate on the banks
of the Missouri, opposite what is now
Pierre on the hill where 1t was found.
1t bears, translated from French, this

Freakish Trees

An explorer in the forests of north
ern India has found tree that gives
an electric shock to any one who
touches 1t. The intensity of the shock
varies with the time of day, the cur
rent being at Its strongest at p. m.
Few people realize the extraordinary
properties with which nature has en-
dowed some trees. In Nubia, for exam
pie there Is a tree, the sofar, that
plays tunes, a startling effect due to
the boring of numerous insects at the
base of the young shoots. The wind
playing through the tiny apertures
produces a series of flute-llke notes.

the compass tree, is an lnfallible guide

Scene of WesIey's Lobors

The border of Fermanagh county is
one of the strongholds of Methodlsm
in Ireland. 1t came under the per
sonal sway Of John Wesley and his
influence has never been forgotten. In
the course of his missionary visits
Wesley crossed the Irish channel no
fewer than AZ times, and carried the
tenets of his faith even as far west as
the county Of Limerick. In one of the
Wesleyan chapels there long coach
ing horn is still hung up in the vestry
room. II is not relic of a sporting
parson, but was used in the old days
to call in the flock when Wesley or one
of his ltinerant preachers paid an I'M

Ring Lore

The origin of the finger ring reaches
back to ancient Greek mythology. Pro-
metheus Is said to have worn the first
ring. Prometheus stole fire from
Heaven with which to cook his food
and so brought upon himself the dis
pleasure of Jupiter, who condemned
the daring mortal to be chained for
ever to rock. Jupiter later repented
and released Prometheus, but ordered
that lest he might forget his punish
ment and perhaps dare to steal from
the gods, he should always wear a
chain about his finger to which frag-
ment Of rock was attached, and thus
technically at least, carry out the
original sentence of being chained to a
rock forever In this is seen both the
origin Of the ring and also the practice
of setting rings with precious stones.

Too Unlucky

A visitor in Kentucky came across
that rare specimen, an unmarried col

The negro was quiet, elderly per

remained single.
"Uncle Jim, how does it happen that
you are so opposed to matrlmony?"

grave face, but there was twinkle in
his eye as he replied: "Me, subj I

EarIv Envelopes

When envelopes were first made the
sealing flaps were urgummed and were
closed by applying at the point Of the
sealing flap a wafer of sealing wax.
About 1910 there appeared On the NAV
ket envelopes with a small flick of
gum" about half an inch square at the
point of the sealing flap, and this very
soon supplanted the wafer of wax.
When, however, as a still further I'm
provement, some manufacturers began
to gum the whole of the sealing flap,
many protested against it; and while
willing to moisten the small spot of
gum, for sanitary reasons they were
not willing to 'lick" the entire flap
After some time this prejudice was
overcome and envelopes with gummed
flaps rapidly came into favOr.-Path-
