At what age does a man possess sufficient ability to be able to choose u wife? According to l the present French laws, remarks the New York Tribune, he is not considered capable until lie reaches thirty years, and should he marry before that time he must ot.iHln the consent of Ids parents. In 1018 and again In 1019 the chamber lowered the age to twenty-five, but each time the bill was rejected by the senate. Soon another attempt to al ter the law will he made by Abbe Lc-mire, deputy for the Nord. The abbe says that men who would make an unwise marriage at twenty live would he Just as liable to do the same thing at thirty. lie also thinks that more men and women who have supposedly reached the age of dis cretion make more unhappy murrl ages than younger people. “I certainly think a man Is sufficient ly matured l/y the time he Is twenty five, or even twenty-one, to enter into marriage upon Ids own responsibility. It seems ridiculous for a man to have to ask Ids parenis’ consent until in is thirty." The Marchioness Townsend gl\es as her opinion that "by the time he is twenty-five if a man has Imd tend endes they will have developed, or If he has good tendencies they will also have developed. It would cer tulilly, In my opinion, be a good thing to lower the age at which a French man attains Ids majority." ARTIST'S MISSION IN LIFE By Interpretation, He Must Unfold Beauty to Those Persons Not So Gifted as Himself. All work has some element of the creative, hut the artlsl must realize that It Is art that brings everything to him, and that the best lie can bring to art Is sympathy, Intelligence and skill in presenting It. The material has always been there and It is for ldiu to develop the means of Imparting It to others. The singer sings a song - hut before he can deliver Its message wl h hi- voice, tin- composer has visa id, ,»d through a musical setting an In terpretation of the poet the poet has translnled a phase of life, or emotion, that lias come to him from reading or experience. Our knowledge and tlih mental processes that govern our tic tlons nre the result of recorded and unrecorded memories and sy on through all endless chain of evolution. The artist’s mission Is to interpret the depth and breadth of the mysteri ous Joys or sorrows of existence, real und Imaginary, through music, poetry scu lore, painting, the stage, or what ever Ids profession. 11l Ills Interpreta tion he unfolds these beauties to oili er men and women who may not be gifted with 'the mental or physical abilities to re-create them for them selves. but who can understand and enjoy them through the medium of the artist —and as Ids skill In that medium develop-. Ids giving out of understand ing Increases, Piccadilly a "FUiff." Piccadilly, known the world over as it famous thoroughfare of London, re - oclved Its name from a tavern several centuries ago. The tavern In Its turn took the name from a tennis court that was near by, and much frequent ed by members of the king’s house hold. The tennis court acquired the name because of the number of both men Hial women who frequented it wearing a "plcudilly,” or ruff. The mime, then, tins originally the name of a shirred bit of silk, or other stiff material that was gathered along the edge of the cloak, bodice or jerkin, and brought together under the chin, forming an outstanding collar or ruff often six or eight Inches wide, and In some cases dandles wont to even greater extremes and extended theh | “plckadllly” a foot or more.

It Is a blessing nowadays to dis ! cover an article of food that will serve several purposes. The cassava plant, referred to In the United States “Commerce liei>orts,’’ certainly comes under the category. The tubers of 1 this plant are put to many uses. First , and foremost It Is a vegetable, which , ta prepared for eating by boiling In plain water. It Is also made into u coarse form of meal. Then the dry tulier is grated Into another meal, ! which is made Into bread.

TRAGEDIES TRACED TO OIL Pipe Lines and Overflows Responsible for the Deaths of Many Ani mals and Biids.

The cottontail desires a per manent home and the Jackriibblt winds a refuge safe from malevolent man. Soon they discover their habitat Is being moved. No doubt they are frightened, but they Instinctively stay within their retreat, tine-end of the hole Is eloped. Even then they do not leave. Soon tin- other end of the hole Is darkened. Then It Is dark- j ness eternal’ for the furry pair. I Some time later if is discovered that a newly laid oil pipe line Is choked. After great labor the line Is disjointed and the remains of many rabbits removed. Thousands of rab bits have fieen thus exterminated in the oil fields. The death rate among waterfowl is even greater. Again, as with the rabbits, instinct leads them to certain destruction. Every little lake of oil In flic vicinity of a gusher is a trap for the unthinking birds. At twilight and dawn these tar-colored lakes ap pear as bodies of water to the deluded fowl. LONDON HAS GROWN TOO BIG j Metropolis of the British Empire Is Loosely Knit Together, and Confusion Resuits. Poor old London is so big that she doesn’t know vvliat to do. She has outgrown her administrative clothes and finds that her outskirts are sore ly bedraggled. She hopes that par liament will eonie to her relief, hut she lias waited so long without any thing being done for her and mean while has grown so outrageously that parliament is a hit dubious about un dertaking the job. London, you understand, is merely a name, and it may mean one of sev eral tilings. No railway company sells tickets to London; they are care ful to specify the exact, station in that vast conglomeration indefinitely spok en of by that name. There is first of all the City of Lon don, the original London, built around the Tower and walled in for defense, a square mile of twisting streets and alleys, where business houses are built on old churchyards and the ancient church lower rises behind a five-story stone office building. Then there is the London of the 28 boroughs, the County of London, which includes the towns that grew up outside the an clout city. There tire also almost in numerable suburbs. —W. K. Kelsey in the Detroit News. Finest of All Languages. There is no modern language tc compare with the ancient Hillock tongue. There m-.-er was a hi- i e Its equal. As scholars have said, every other speech compared to the ancient Greek is stammering. Othei tongues tune their merits and tDfects but the Greek lias all the merits com bined and none of the defects. It is the perfection of speech. As a lan gunge for affairs it is as direct as the English or Latin; as a language for philosophy, it is as good as the German and for science is better; as the language of polite society it is as elegant as the French; and it is more melodious than tho best Tuscan It a I lan. This is no eulogy (eulogy, by the way. is a Greek word, of our own. but a summation of the dicta ol scholars).— Exchange.
