tice..at Can Hardly Be S;... A .r Muth of .ance. Anyone can marry-anyone, every em 1-If they have a, b-.isiness man agr who knows tae business. Since t'e war, in France, weddings have doubled, births increased and deaths declined in the most asti~alsh Ing manner. Now, as all know, marriage does not necessitate a business manager-the old helter-skelter way of falling in love by hazard will undoubtedly con tinue very much in vogue; but if anyone imagines that marriage is not moving with the times and yielding o business organization, they know ttle of what is happening in France today! Never before have girls done such marrying in France-with available bridegrooms so reduced In number! What is more, this organized promo tion of marriage gives every girl a chance-despite handicaps of unac quaintance, social disadvantage, plain looks, lack of money. lack of family. lack of pushing friends to aid the match. Your business manager's your push ing friend! Helps girls to marry? Helps men. also. Perhaps even, more so. . . You will object. And romance?

If soie one asked you, "What is that Which has a beak like that of a parrot and cheek pouches like those of a monkey, lives in the sea and chews the cud like a cow?" you might imagine it was some kind of catch rid dle. Yet there Is a creature which an swers this description perfectly. It Is called the parrot fish. The upper and lower jaws have be come hardened into a sharp, curved beak, which is just the tool required for lopping off lumps of tough weed. Each piece snipped off by the beak is passed into one of the two curious pouches which adorn the cheeks, and there it remains until the parrot fish feels that he has collected enough to make a good meal. He then lies on the bottom and chews the cud by means of the splendid set of teeth which nature has placed, not in his mouth, but in his throat.-Ex change. Time's Changes in England. The poacher, the trespasser, the man who by accident lets his pIgs or heifers out upon, the public road, the urchin who robs an orchard, and many minor rural "malefactors" are, It is generally claimed, being more person ally dealt with by modern country magistrates. in England. The abolition of the old-time benches of squires and landowners, whose right to be made justices of the peace was almost re *garded as hereditary, and their substi tution by men of Integrity in every walk of life, and now by women, has wrought a change in rural police court justice which the country mind under stands and appreciates to the full. On a country bench recently, a prominent landowner, his agent, one of his la borers were all adjudicating together. A Kind WIsh. When Jean went to her little neigh bors to visit she often talked to the grandmother of the house. "I have a grandmother, too," she would say. "but she's in heaven." And she and the grandmother of the houee were good friends until one day the grandmother was erocs. She scolded the tw. little girle for leav lag the screen door open, for walk ing in a flower bed and dropping crumbs on the floor. The two -youngsters sought refuge en the porch.
