Isn't it a curious thing that there are proverhs which say exactly the opposite thing from other proverbs: For example, read these partners: A bird in the hang is worth two in the bush. Nothing venture, nothing have. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. One man's meat is another man's roison. Marry in haste, repent at leisure, Happy is Shon acing that's no long in the doing of it. Health is better than wealth. Health Without wealth is half a rick ness. Perseverance kills the game. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Hope springs eternal' in the hunfan Lreast. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. Do We? We can worship God in our home Sundays. Do we? We can worship God in the woods and in the fields. 'Do we? We can worship God on the road in the auto. Do we? We can worship God in a different church each Sunday morning. Do we? We can worship God in our lodge and neglect the church. Do we? We can worship' God by sending the children to Sunday school and staying at home. Po: We can worship God by going to church and taking the children with us. Do we? Is Rapidly Recovering. The many friends of Miss Norma Bain, daughter of Mr. and TS.

It isn't the cut of the clothes that you wear, made; tidious care It isn't the size of your pile in the bank, Nor the number of acres you own; It isn't the question of prestige or rank, Nor a question of fame or renown. It isn't the sePvants that come at your call; And it isn't the things you possess-- Whether many, or little, or nothing at all, > It is Service that measures success. ------mni-- Egyptian Brides. In Egypt the ordinary Many of the brides are little more than ten years old and few have passed sixteen on their wedding day. Egyptian bachelors are are for public opinion con:iders it disreput- able for a man to remain single once he has reached the marrying age. The actual ceremony {s simplicity itself, It i's performed before two witnesses by a fiki--that is one who recites the Koran. The husband never sees his wife- to-be before the wedding night, all matter, including that of the dowry, being arranged for him. Where the bride is a woman who has not previously been married, ithere are great Ror ci which, in [the case of the upper classes, may last as long as eleven days and imights, These rejo.cings are timed {to end on the eve of either Friday or Monday. The bride is then conveyed in pro- cesssion to the bridegroom's nouwe, accompanied by her female friends, musicians and efitertainers, The Mohammedan religion allows & man four wives, but the majority of Egyptians do not Ke advantage of it and are content! with one. The husband may, however, [possess any number of concubines. They enjoy certain privileges, especially if they bear the master a son, but are un- der the rule of the legal wife, who usually treats them with great sey- erity, actuated, no doubt, by feelings of jealousy. | Divorce is an easy matter. «The husband has but to say, "Thou fare divorced," and when this is gf three tiifiés the separation plete and the dowry return Egyptian men exhibit a great lik- ing for European women. Not only do they believe that marriage with them heightens their prestige, but they also know that the white wife retains her beauty and charm much longer than the Egyptian, who is past her best at twenty, ---------- Poetry Versus Legerdemain, This Is a little story of Wilson MacDonald, the Torohto poet, famed for legerdemaln as well. as tor verse. It is told by a writer in the Vancouver Province: I under- stand that in slight of hand he is a past master. That must have been able centre of the United States when, having been invited by a queen of society to read his poems to & very select feminine audience, the poet discovered that as soon as he began to read society began to talk. So he shut up his book, arew back his coat sleeves, and said: '"Now ladies, I will show you a few legerdema/n tricks." Instantly the women were all attention. Aston. ishing demonstrations, one after an- other, proved that Wilson MacDon- ald could make a fortune if he wanted to go on the vaudeville stage. 'Ob, Mr, MacDonald," said this hostess, "why in the world did you not tell me that you could do all those lovely things." . "Why," eaid the poet in a cool voice, "I just keep those tricks to amuse people who have not brains enough to appreciate my poetry." Treated The Old Folks.

A 5 Why are well-kpown actresses and actors called "stars? Because the word conveniently describes our idea of them. We like to divide our pro- feasions into worlds or universes, and often speak of "the legal world," "the theatrical world," and so on. Now, in our own universe we have one sun, a moon, and many bright stars. So if we wish to talk of one of the leading lights of the th universe we can quite naturally him by the name of one of the lead- ing lights of our own universe. But unless he is the greatest of all great people in matters theatrical we can hardly 1 _him the "sun," and té name him the "moon" (with its pale, dead light) would be hradly a com- pliment. . So we call him a "star," for as there are mafy big and bright lights in the sky, so there are numeroys leading lights in theatreland. -In tie same way people will refer to a lead- ing rister as "a star of the legal world.
