There is always .shulnan interest"
In the account OF a wedding in which
the contracting parties belong to de-
cidedly different social strata. 1t is
interesting when chauffeur elOpes
with the daughter of a citizen who
pays q federal income tax of more
than $1,000 But If dishwasher be-
comes the husband of lady whose
family is given an IA rating, both in
the register of society and in the reg
lister of finance, the event is nine
days wonder. observes the Boston
Globe.
Getting married represents one of
the chief businesses of the human
race. 1t is supposed that women are
more concerned with it than men. but
that may be disputed. Some men have
been known to acquire fortunes and
other men to obtain positions by rea-
son of the women they have espoused.
Whenever the wedding bells ring most
people stop to appraise the alliance.
1t is a curious fact that very few
marriages are entirely satisfactory to.
the relatives of both parties. The
whisper goes around that "she might
have done better" or that "he could
have found wife who would have
been of more help In his career"
In this endless discussion of mar.
rfages there is ground for the sus-
picion that the democratic United
States is trifle aristocratic after ALL
When the question of wife or hus-
band comes up it is treated as though
there were as many gradations of
caste in American life as among the
population of India. And yet the fed
eral Constitution forbids titles Of no
bility.

The Niles Source

The question of the source of the

recent of geography. The first Euro
pean to lay claim to having discov-
cred the true source was James Bruce.
The Scotch explorer believed that the
middle one OF the three branches,
called the Blue Nile, was the true riv-
err 1t was later discovered that he
had been mistaken In his assumptions.
The ancfents believed that the western
most branch, called the White Nile,
was the true Nile. The ancients were
right and Bruce was wrong. Many
explorers sought to trace the White
Nile to its source, but the greatest dis
cOvery of all, that the Nile really rises

Birth Of Words

Where do new words come from
Some, Of course. are coined by scien-
fists and philosophers. others are lift
ed bodily from one language to an
other, as, for instance, the French
sabotage" now excellent English.
Sometimes, too, a word is coined by
a newspaper. For instance, the word
apache" which has now been OFF,
ciafly admitted to the French Ian
guage by decision of the academy,
was invented by the Figaro newspa-
per % years ago. when it used it to
describe q Partisan criminal type
which has since become famous.
Another word which caught on,
"suffragette." also owes its existence
to the genius Of newspaper man.
This word appeared for the first time
in the columns Of the Daily Mall
Answers.

Cats Haze Positive
Likes and Dislikes

Few persons really know their cats.
Yet cats can talk, though it is dumb
language.
Give your cat for dinner something
she doesn't like, and watch her sniff
1t, shake her right paw, and walk
away In disgust. If she be really
hungry and no other food offers she
will return to the disliked dish, MAX
ing queer cackling hiss as she eats
it. and saying. 'Must have it If there's
nothing else in the larder"
Watch her smile" at you when she
is pleased. She does this by closing
her eyes very slowly and opening
them again. A cat will "smile" like
this every time when, spoken to by
some one she loves, says the Spring
field Republican.
When in absolute ecstasy she will
paw the air with outstretched claws.
In making new friend she will arch
her back and hold up trembling tail,
saying, II know you like me-"
If there be savory smell she will
walk round and round your legs, rub
bing them hard, and asking you to
hurry with dinner"
1t is wonderful how domesticated
the cat has become. Yet we have only
to see her knead her bed before set
Ting to realize that the wild animal
strain persists in her, for her ances-
tors turned round and round and
round and kneaded their beds to
soften the forest growths.
