It Makes A Difference. Jewelers of London are complain- ing because women of the fashion- able set are weering much less jew- elry then formerl But did you ever hear of a ladies’ wear establish- ment complaining because the women are not wearing as much as formerly? —Neither Did We — What Next? A new craze among giris of the | “finpper” class is the wearing of the photograph of the “best boy” mounted on the buckle of the shoe. That’s getting man down preily low, alright. —Aint It A Fact?— Hard Lines. A man is sure up against it when his better financial judgment won’t let him buy an automobile and his pride won't let him buy a flivver. —Giddap!— Happens Every Year. An old-timer remarks that this is the time of the year when women’s feet look like they had thrown away the nice shoes they purchased and are wearing- the boxes the shoes come in. —Oh You Galoshes— Profit and Loss. You hear sq much of late concern- ing marriages between men and wo- men who can_talk in several different languages. is what doth it profit a man to be able to talk in nine different languages when he married a woman who can outtalk him in any one of them. —As Always.— The Butters. The United Goats of America have been incorporated as a secret society. No doubt thig organization will in- clude most of the fellows who talk like this: “Yes, he's a good man, but—"; “Yes, Joe is all right, but—"; “She was a nice girl before she wag married, but—"; “I would pay you back this week, but—""; etc. —You Know 'Em.— Change of Location. Judging from some of the things they marry, the modern girl is be- lieved to possess an awful horror of being obliged to work down town for “ & living. —Can You Beat It- Lots of Material. The park board has been consid- ering getting some more wild animals for the park at Diamond Point. How about rounding up a few of the fel- lows who have not ad yet paid their | income tax or their personal proper- ty tax and putting on a first-class ex- hibit of wild men? —What Makes Wild Men Wild?— You Shoulda Seen 'Er.

What we want to know ! WHY HER WATCH G | Various Causes Given for Undoubted Fact That Woman’s Timepiece Is | Generally Incorrect. Punctuality Is sald to be the virtue of kings, but not of women. The lat- ter will not, however, admit thelr lack of it. But when a lady has kept a mere man walting for her an indefi- nitely long time her excuse, cynics de- clare, is really at hand: this reason given as an excuse, differ- ent from other excuses, is almost al- ways valid. The watches of women are much less exact than those of men. " An Englishman, Herbert Duke, who occupied himself with this problem in profound speculations, thinks he has | traced it to its source. He has ob- | served that the same watch, when | worn by his wife, runs very Irregu. larly, whereas when worn by him it 1s perfectly correct. “Now, how is it,” he asks, “that so many women have such a baleful iInfluence on watches?” Certainly much is due to the fact | that to women the watch Is a less necessary tool of life than a beautiful adornment ; that they care more for | Its looking elegant on the wrist than ;fm' its being right: that they handle carelessly and inconsiderately this deli- cate apparatus. But there must be another more po- tent cause. It has been observed that the electricity contalned fn the human body exerts a direct influence on the dellcate mechanism of the watch. It may be that the small form of a wom- an's watch renders It very sensitive to the electro-magnetic influence that emanates from the body. 1 SNAKES HAVE LARGE “LITTERS’ Boa Constrictor, in Captivity, Gave Birth to Sixty-Four Living Young —Others Prolific. The sixteen-foot Trinidad anaconda, or water boa, at the London Zoologic- al gardens, not long ago,gave birth to twenty-four young ones. The new- born snakes were twenty-six Inches long and about an inch in diameter at the thickest part of the body. In color and marking they resembled the adults—that is, they were of a dark greenish hue with black spots. That number of young had been ex- ceeded by a seventeen-foot snake at the New York Zoological park, which produced thirty-four young.

The pythons differ from the boas in that they lay eggs and coil around a heap of them until they hatch. An ofticial of the New York Zoo says that the | pythons produce from fifty to a hun- dred eggs at a time, and a specimen i of python reticulatus deposited sixty eggs, about which she coiled, and from which she fought off all intruders, but her efforts proved of no avail, for the eggs were infertile, THRIFT WON' HER HUSBAND Legend Tells of Reward That Came to French Girl Through Her Cheese-Paring. While the expression ‘“cheese-pur-’ ing” is a recog 1 equivalent for thrift or economy in the manugement of household affairs, it is apparent the mouient we dissect the term thut the saving effected by the paring of a cheese depends entirely upon the man- ner in which the operstion is conduct- ed. If one removes the rind of the cheese carelessly, wuste instend of economy results. According to a ¥French legend, there was a man who was in love with three sisters at the same time. He cauld not make up his mind which of them | he ought to marry. The ability to be a thrifty housewife being the priscipal requisite of a wife at that time, the man decided' to watch tbhe three care- fully, and In order to make a test pre- sented each of them with a .large cheese. Two of them removed the rind in such a manner that a considerable portion of the cheese was thrown away, but the youngest pared it with a very sharp knife, un: did not waste a scrap. The man decided that she would make the best,wife, and they svere married. \ The High Cost of Honor. Nobllity orders and badges of honor | in Germany hitherto, upon the death of the owner, have been left as sou- venirs to his heirs, though only upon payment to the state of their bullion value. -Now the prime minister ao- nounces that because of the increased value of gold he is compelled, in the interest of the state, to increase by 100 per cent the prices of all such decoratlons. It does not appeay that this applies to the Iron Cross, though it has been 80 numerously awarded, one would think, as materially to affect the sup- ply of that most useful metal, T - PR ) $1.00 PRETTY SHRUB ALMOST GONE Mountain Lagrel, Once Plentiful Every- where, Has Been Destroyed Through Public Careélessness. Many years ago, when the American Indlans were the only inhabitants of the United States, the mountainsides in springtime were almost white with the blossoms of claymoun, the Indian name for mountain laurel. Nowadays the laurel is not so plen- tiful. People have broken down too many plants and pulled up. too many others by the roots. Still you may find some of the¥e low, scraggly bush- es if you are familiar with the coun- tryside. For in nearly every hilly part of the states, from Maine to Ohio, from Florida to Canada, a few at least of these attractive-shrubs are grow- ing. The roots of these particular plants reach out for surprisingly long dis- tances, seeming to enjoy prowling about in the loose soil of. the moun- tainsides. Yet, with all the roving tendencies of the roots, the patches of plants do not spread, but remsin about the same size from year to year. Calico-bush is an old-fashioned pame for mountain laurel, a name that some country people think is the only name. Spoonwood is another queer mame by which you may hear this same plant called. The Secret. In a certain social set they were on¢ day discussing the remarkable success of a rich but fll-favored girl's mar- riage with a spendthrift clubman, Now no one could understand the thing, which at the outset had seemed to bode so fll. But one matron shrug- ged her shoulders and said: «“The girl won’t let her husband touch a- penny.of her principal, and that, you see, keeps up the interest. Township Has Ten Residents. The most peaceful place on earth at present is said to be the township of Le-Tartre-Guadran in the Depart-' ment Seine-et-Oise, not far from Paris. Never lurge, the war has reduced its population to an even ten souls, only four of whom are eligible to aftice. But each French commune under 500 inhabitants must bave ten aldermen. Le Tartre-Gaudran elects her first four without a dissenting vote and then in- vites six outsiders to heip steer her canoe of state. The annual budget is 1,500 francs. The present clerk says, “Il 0’y a rien a faire.” His predecessor claims that in one decade he recorded three births and two deaths, but no marriages. Yet to have this commune dissolved or annesed would cost im- mense sums and make ten persons un- happy for ever after. Statement Made That He Has Little Real Chance When-Middle Age Goes A-Wooing. Miss ‘Marceline Stokes is a social worker of Chicago. We regret that| Miss Stokes does not give her own age along with an academic discussion of affinities, observes the New York Tele- graph, However, her views are inter- esting. She informs wus that this is an epoch of the middle-aged beau; that young girls prefer. as husbands “hard-boiled old men to half-baked youths.” The flapper’s hedrt beats responsive to the male person of forty- five. “It startles me,” she exclalms, and we are not surprised. A great many things startle the lady or the gentleman who contemplates matri- mony merely as an interesting study. We are fain to believe she is more than half right, at that, and there are reasons.

I LITTLE DEMAND FOR SNAKES| Rattlers Now Bring bnly Eight Cents ' a Pound, According to’ Dealer- | o the in the Reptiles. The rattlesnake” eatchers of the Brownsville, Texas, district are going through a period of severe ‘depression, s live snakes at present are bringing only 8 cents a, pound, according to T. tiomal Association of Audubon Socl- eties, who has just returned from the work of staking out a proposed 150, 000-acre tract in the southern tip of Texas as a game and bird sanctuary. The greatest rattlesnake establish- ment in the world is maintained near Brownsville by a dealer named King, known as “Rattlesnake King.” He had more than 100,000 rattlers in stock during December, Mr, Pearson said. Phese are sold to. zoological gardens, snake charmers, circuses, naturalists and snake lovers all over the country, Gilbert Pearson,” president of the Na- @ but the demand has recently become low. Many Mexicans earn their living catching rattlers and are-glad to get even 8 cents' a pound for them. Mr. Pearson’s mission was under- taken at the request of the depart- ment of agriculture for the purpose of mapping out a great game preserve in the extreme south of Texas, where a stretch sandhills exists on which are found between'twenty and thirty species of birds, including game birds not found elsewhere' in the United States,—New York Tribune.
