MEN'S SILLY IDEA Too Many Think Themselves "Matrimonial Bargains." Notion That Spinster* Are tying In Walt to Snatch Them Is Laughed At By Writer In London Periodical. "ion lake euro, old bean} there are three daughters, and a fellow hue to bo Jolly careful When mother* are about." lie wit hi it very young mau, and hla position in life nothing to crow about. But he'd put himself on" the hurgain counter of life ever since he read that there Wore sewn women to every man, remark4 a writer In London An Hwei'M. . 9 A good many men have grown In Mated ahout their own value since all the talk of surplus spinsters, hm.i Some of them go ahout with their hearts In urmor plating, fearful lent some designing spinster may "catch them." The knowledge that they're not In a position to keep a wife makes no difference; they Imagine that inen are so scarce that any girl would snap at them. And the poor spinster looks on and laughs. She Isn't in nearly so great a hurry to wed as Mr. Young Man thinks and she's really rather particular ahout Che bargains she picks #p, knowing full well that not all things so labeled turn out to bo genuine bargains. She In her turn, In spite of the man short* ago. 1)us the Idea that she Is an Im portant person. Both young men and girls are getting rather fond of label ing themselves bargains these days. You see, many girls have come on of late years. They are earning ample salaries and hold good positions for which they have qualified themselves. It Is true that In some instances they got those positions because the men were away, but not In every instance;. Many a girl has won through sheer merit. If one looks at the bachelor women ? of today the inflated Idea which so. many young men have of themselves does seem rather silly. A girl who Is In a good post would have to give up^ a lot for marriage; not that she would mind that If she loved her man. Then, too, she may have got together qult.e a nice home of her own and, al? though there aro times when site la rather lonely, still, she manages to have quite a good time on the whole. The man who won her would And that little home, ready made, a boon In these days of highly priced furniture. Small wonder that the bachelor girl rather resents the outlook of the young man of today., She doesn't like his bargain-counter attitude, although she errs in the same way. She Is a far more Independent person than was even her own mother, and she knows the value of freedom along with the drawbacks.1 She also knows Just exactly what she wants In a man she could murry and, what Is more, If she can't get what she wants she Is ready to remain a spinster to the end of {he chapter. The young man who labels himself a bargain rarely comes up to her Ideal and Ideas. cr . Let's have a little less of the bargain counter, Mr. Young Man and Miss Bachelor Girl. The great rule of "give and take" still holds for happiness and there's tlner pleasure lit giving than in taking. ' Strange Pledges. A little while back an airman, who evidently found himself In temporary dlflloultlCH, paid a visit to the Mont de Piete, as the state-owned pawn broking establishment In called in France, and offered a new monoplane In pledge. He was told, however, that the "article" did not appear In the schedule of goods that could be ac cepted, according to London Answers. A menagerie proprietor conceived the Idea of raising money by trotting his elephant round to the "Lombard" ?the Brussels name for o pawnbroker. After a good deal of persuasion "un cle" agreed to advance ?20 on the big beast, which was deposited In a yard at the roar of the establishment. There he remained four days and at the end of that time he wos led back to the menagerie. Big Bruin Falls In th< Catskilla. Kugene Kerr, the nged guide who was with the Olney Redmond party on their bear-hunting expedition In the interior of the Catskllls, told Mr. Red mond that the bear he took In the Peek nmoose region, town of I>emlng, was the largest one of the "Racer" ?pedes that be had ever seen, and Mr. Kerr has been living In that section of the Catskllls nearly all of the sixty tight years of his life and Is said to have taken more than forty bears In that time. The animal Is said to be an unusually fine specimen. It measures T feet 3 Inches from tip of Its hind feet to the point of Its nose. Its weight is estimated at between 2.V) and 300 pounds.?Cwtsklll Mountain News. Empty Titles. "What's In a name?" mrIM the ready quotationlst. "Nothln* whatever,** replied Uncle Bill Bottletop.

Lord Morris In a lecture at St John's Wood Presbyterian church. Marl borough place, London; described thSl development of Newfoundland for the j last 400 years, "from the time of the early colonizers up to the day when that great captain of Industry, Lord Northcllffe, established the groat paper mills that are now supplying the Times, the Dally Mall, the Dally Mirror and the Sunday 1'lctorlnl with paper." He said that In Newfoundland today there were many paper "propositions'* quite as attractive, if properly do* veloped, as that of I^ord Northcllffe and his brother, Lord Itothermere. There were also, sufficient fish on the Newfoundland banks and along the Newfoundland and Labrador shores to feed the whole of the British empire. They had only touched the fringe of that great fishing Industry In which Igy. the possibilities of cheap food for3Cng>> land. Lord Morris drew an attractive pic ture of wonderful mineral possibilities, showing that Newfoundland was the1 second largest producer of Iron In ths British empire, England coming first There was enough Iron ore to supply all the needs of the British empire and of the world for the next hundred years.?London Mall.

Strange to stumble upon a quotation about manna In news of the drug and chemical trades! The children of Is rael. we know, were saved from star- j vatlon In the desert by It. It fell from heaven, was small like coriander seed, and tasted like wafers made with honey. However, the actual manna of trade today comes from Incisions In South European trees and It Is now reported to have been quoted higher than pre viously In the primary market. The demand has Increased of late, espe cially for small flake manna, which Is the better quality, coming from the upper part of the stem of the tree. Referred to an Expert.
