Their Opinions.
“Sir” sternly sald the horse-faced gent. “T denounce the present fashions in women’s garb as immodest, scandalous and unhealthful!

Ful ler Gloom, “I denounce the average flap-mouthed goody-good as utterly useless and unutterably tiresome, and demand that he go to the devil and stay there!"—Kansas City Star.

OLD ROMAN MILITARY RELICS
Battle Equipment Taken by Britons _ Centuries Ago Recently Sold ‘ . by Auction at London, *
Great Britain's most anclent milltary trophies, & Roman battie standard and a Roman general's folding camp chalr, have just been sold for £2OO at a London auction room. The antiquities were dug up In Essex a century ago. : . : Kxperts belleve that the battle standard and the camp chair were captured or lost in the disaster that overtook the Roman Ninth legien in A. D. 1, when Boadicea, queen of the Icenl, cut the legion to pleces as It advanced to relleve Colchester. Boadicea's Britons, having burned Roman Colchester, turned upon the Ninth leglon, surprised and destroyed it. The cavalry nlone got away, and It is be lteved that the relics were abandoned on the fleld. The standard and the chalr are in perfect preservation. The former is a slight and elegant thing In bronze, topped by four laurel wreaths of diminishing size. Below is a medallion bearing on one side a portralt of Nero and on the other am inlald design showing the emperor in a triumphal car holding a palm branch and a wreath. The chalr is beautifully worked In iron overlaid in silver, folding like a modern camp stool. ' : -
NOTHING YOU MIGHT NOTICE

James B, Sweeney, the Knights of Columbus delegate who herolfcally saved France's prettiest girl from death at the Folies Bergere in Paris, was discussing, at his Brookliyn home, his trip abroad. S “The restaurant prices in Paris™ he sald, “are incredible. A simple dinner at a fashionable place costs $2O, and even then It is difficuit to get enough to eat. The portions—" . Mr. Sweney laughed. —*“the portions remind me of the Scottish farmhand's porridge. - “iJock,' sald this fellow's employer, ‘there’s a fly in the palrritch.’ ““That disnae matter,’ replied Jock gloomily; It'll no droon.” . “The. farmer glared at him, *“‘What do ye mean? he sald, angrily. ‘That's as much as sayin’ ye haven't enough mulk. . “Oh,' sald Jock, still more gloomfly, ‘thepe’s malr than enough for a' tha pairritch I have'” -
Not Fair.
“H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell and many other writers,” sald the noted lawyer, Clarence Darrow, “after fiying trips to Russia hope to size up bolshevism and Russian conditions. They are doomed to fallure, for it is only after a long residence that one can spenk authoritatizxely about a foreign country: Otherwise we are apt either to ideallize everything or we are too severe and make wounding, false criticims like the Englishman, “An Englishman,” continued Mr. Darrow, ‘during a month's flying trip over our country, unfortunately had his pockets picked. : “‘Americal’” he exclaimed to @ friend. ‘America, the land of the free —and easy.'" :

She isn't Mrs. Blank now,” her friend answered. *“Don't you remember she divorced Blank in June and she Is now Mrs Brown?” ' o “Oh, dear, yes,” Mrs. Gould replied. “I forgot. But I'd llke to know how anyone can keep in mind all the matrimonial changes nowadays. Why doesn't somebody get out a new reference book to help us,” she added, smiling —"“one entitled ‘Who's Whose?'

Absent Minded.
Among my duties as general derk_' in a downtown office was that of answering the telephone, : One day, in the midst of the regular rush, a woman entered the office, asked for some data which had te be looked up in another part of the office. Having secured the desired information, I returned to the desk to give it to her. Upon approaching her, absent mindedly, I sald in my Sweetest tone of voice, “Hello.” .

HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Soientists Unable to Tell Why Bites of Some Animals Are Fatal and Others Innocuocus. 2
Scietitists In Great Britain bave been greatly interested in the recent ease of a monkey bite resulting in the death of the king of Greece, says a London dispatch. The result is that & study is being made of the effects of as the monkey is what Is known as & “clean feeder,” it seems extraordinary that the bite of such an animal should produge the fatal polsoning of a human being. : It does not, however, appear that the malignancy of an animal's bite can be measured by what it feeds upon. A dog is s carnivorous cres: ture, yet its bite seldom produces serious results, while on the other hand the bite of a horse or a donkey frequently results In polsoning. Ouly a few weeks ago a woman died from belng bitten by a donkey, while a man lost a hand through being nipped oo the thumb by a horse. e

ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER
Fibrous Material Rapidly Supplanting Belting in American and European Mills and Factories.
For 20 years there has been an Increasing use In this country of manila rope for power transmission in mills and factorles in place of leather belting. In English factories ropes superseded belting long ago, and their use is nearly universal. In the United States the change that has taken place began with the acquisitien of the Philippine islands, where, as everybody knows, the manila hemp flourishes. The fiber of this hemp varies in length from 6 to 12 feet, and occasionally attains a length of 18 feet. It is sald to possess greater ° tensile strength than. any other flber known, exceeding 50,000 pounds per square inch. Rope drives, as tranSmission ropes are called, possess the advantage of nolselessness, owing to thelr flexibility and to the existence of an alr passage in the grooves between the rope and the
