THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THF. DOOR TO LONG LIVING.

Girls who did not like the first man who offered himself could take a chance of waiting for 'the onliest man' withount fear of hunger, sihabbiness or ridicule. "And when girls of this sort do mar ry, they play the game in the sports manlike fashion which is the result of business experience, of climbing down froan the pedestal of sex to mingle with mnen in everyhay life, under the same conditions with which their hus bands moust wrestle six days in the week--antd soine. nights ! They may have lost some illusions about the op posite sex and its certain-teed ability to love, honor and cherish, but they have gained a better and broader un. derstanding of ile Itemptations to which mlen are sutbjeetes. They appre ciate the part which a peaceful, cou Vental home life platys in a man's busi nress or professional career. "These motldern wives look with scorn on the womantin who does not share her hushand's interest in busi ness, who will not listen-and enjoy his recital of the any's events down town-and( who does not match his fight on overhead at the plant with a rigid household hudget.

Carbon black is one o' the vanish fag products for which no substitute is yet in sight. This is a velvety black pignent, vastly superior to the gray Ish In laphiack from oil, and is pro duced by burning natural gas in air. It constitutes most of the 30,000.000 poun(l of black usel yearly in the ink, polish. pi iteunt and rubber industries of the United States. In making it, only 1.5 to 3.5 per cent of the total carbon in the vas is recovered, and the aapproaching exhastiti(ont of natural gas man kes ntecessary at new source of raw mtaterial. (L. St. P'errott and It. Thiessen, bureau of mines investiga tors, report little result so far from their search among various liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. ' Wisdom-Yes. An Indianapolis girl recently mar ried and went to at small town to live. Then mother began to receive letters telling of the low price of things in that village. She also boasted that better and fresher prod nce could be obtained. One day her mother received a letter which read, "Yesterday when I was in the gro cery store I htappened to see. a basket of horseradish roots and I bought three big ones for you so that father can have all the grnated horseradish be wants." A -few day's latetr mother's answer went back. It read: "The roots ar rived all right. But, daughter, here in Indianapolis we still call them parsnips instead of horseradish."--In dianapolis News.
