They have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man bas to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic. The normal man all over the world is a hunter or a fisher, or a banker, or a man of letters, or some gilly thing. If so he has to be a wise hunter or a wise banker. But nobody with the smallest knowledge of a pro- fessional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. = But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to have an eye on everything, an eye on the things that fanatical bankers forget. If the banker is melancholy she must teach him ordinary cheerfulness, If the banker is too convivial she must teach him ordinary caution. If she had four husbands she would be an optimist to the pessimist, a pessimist to the optimist, a Pagan to the Puri- tan, a Puritan to the Pagan; for she is the secret health of the world.—Ches- terton. f A Poor Man’s Hell.

The Caribbean tropics .are good indeed to the man strong enough to be master. They are good, their own poor, for they natives with no cold and famine. But for the poor from the north they are hell. 3 It is not due only to the 8 the crop.

Humble as the cockle is, it gives em- ployment to several hundred mem, wo- men and children on the coast of Lan- cashire, England, and seems to have bred in them silence and superstition. Several villages depend upon the cockle as an industrial mainstay. The cocklers are humble folk and among strangers exceedingly shy and taciturn., as well recomes their lonely vocation. 'They nhabit stone cottages near the rus- tling marramgrass and bents. They subsist on the coarsest fare, and, while at all times their living is precarious, they suffer periodical hardships through destructive high tides. shifting chan- nels and the break up or altered posi- tion of the skeers. These toilers are often seen in twos and threes farapart. not a word escaping the lips of those who work together. They are super- stitious enough to believe that dis- putes among themselves over the skeers would be overheard and resent- ed by the imbedded cockles, in which case those sensitive shellfish would perforce quit by the next tide.—Argo- naut. Another Pull: The kaiser has a habit of gently tug- ging at his left ear when anything bothers him. One day some years ago. when he was on a visit to England he was handed a telegram. The contents of the message apparently displeased him, for he immediately began tugging at his ear. The Prince of Wales, then a boy, watched the performance with consid- erable interest. “Uncle,” he said at length, “why are you pulling your ear?” “Because I'm annoyed, I replied the kaiser. “And when you're very anmnoyed,” persisted the young prince, *what do you do then?"

A Scottish farmer paid a visit to a south of England cattle show and while walking around got talking with a pative farwer. Neither could well understand what the other said.
