The assertion la freyuently made that

men In business they lower wage, and

more, so the matter l as broad as l( la
long even on that basis. The real fallacy
of the contention, that women's competi
tion with men In business keeps men
from marrying proves Itself, however, by
the fact that It la only woman's ability
to support herself that leavea man free
to marry in Just the cases where this
problem alters.
The poor young .man who says that
w:oinen lower .wages and becuuae of that
lt cannot mukr. enough to. marry on does
uot stop to think that if Women were
not permitted to enaafce in pursuits by
which they can earn money he would
not only not be able to marry, but would
bo an burdened by a houseful of de
pendent female relatives that he woulc
not have a penny to, spend upon himself.

and you will find out that nine-tenths
of them are men who are victims of the
social system that kept women in the
home and out of the working world.
They were forced to sacrifice love and
romance to the family butcher bill.
I know an old southern gentleman who
has often told me that at the end of
the civil war he was the only man of

that there were thir

Repreflentatlonn In clay of mala and female
bison, found In the Tuc d'Audoubert cave, near
Salnt-Glrons (Ariege), France. The figures
are each about two feet long and are the only
UAHIIETT P. BKnVIHS.
known examples of clay-modeling dating from
palecollthlc time. Except for the cracks due
to drying of the clay, the broken tail of the cow
and the horns of the bull, the figures are In a
perfect state of preservation.
I do not think that there are : many
things In this world better worth looking
at by a thoughtful person than two clay
models, or statuettes, mad by a 'pre
historic sculptor, in a cavern on the
Trench side of the Pyrenees, which Is
locally called the Tu. d'Audoubert. These
models represent two bisons, a male and
a female. They are about two feet In
length, and were found attached to the
wall of the cavern In its innermost recesa.
They are In profound darkness there
(can only be seen by artificial light), far
from the outer world of sunshine, in an
underground place so difficult of access
that only courageous and determined ex
plorer will crawl, face downward,
through the wet, sticky approaches. In
which a fat man might get fastened like
a tight cork.
When found by their original 11cot
erer, Count Begouen, the entrance to the
natural gallery in which they lie had be
come so obstructed by huge white pillar
of stalagmite (limestone formed by depo
sition from slowly dripping water) that
he had to break a way through.
The fact alone startles the mind with
a sens of the extreme antiquity of those
clay figures. It takes many centuries for
great trees to grow, but the oldest and
mightiest tree is a new-born baby la
comparison with stone.
You can observe the age-long process
I of making limestone In many caverns,
whei-e water Is still dripping down. Vo'l
t ear In the gloom and stillness a mils'
cal tinkle, like the stroke of a littlo
silver bell. It la a Orop of water fnllln,;
upon a stalagmite, wheh has ben :ullt
up by similar drops. In that drop thei,
Is an almost infinitesimal quantity of
carbonate of lime. The urop dries i.p and
the carbonate of lime is deposited, atldlnx
an invisible layer to the stone. The drop
must fall In slow succession, else they
would run away and not evaporate on the
spot, and no stalagmlllc pillar would be
built up.
Can you imagine anything slower than
that work of rock bu.ldlng? We have no
certain measure of Its slowness, but,
nevertheless, there does happen to he
at least one, very Interesting, example
which gives us a clue. In Kentis cavern,
England, you may read on top of a
dome-shaped mass of stalagmite theau
words: "Robert Hedges of Ireland, Feb
20, 1688." The drops of water that formed
that rock have not ceased to fall since
the inscription .was made by a visitor,
227 years ago, and how thick do yoO sup

The Naughtiest Age
' i
By ADA PATTERSON.
I had it remarked to mo Ut other day
by an elderly person with a sevre coun
tenance, that modern girlhood was far,
far naughtier than it used to be. I im
mediately accepted
bility of a universal language and the
process by wl.lch the one original lan
guage. If there ever was suoa a thing,

speech now existing.

d'Auiloubert rave where tha ancient
stone age sculptor modeled and left his
-lay-bisons wer several feet in height.
Probably they were started a long time
before the cave men began to live In the
cavern. Hut they 'must have grown a
foot or two In order to obstruct tit place
as they did.

yeirs, It belittles the antiquity of Kgypt,

There Is another test of the vast age
of those clay figures twhlch by the way, I
look as frh as if made yesterday), and
that is the fact that uneniimcrntcd thou
sands of years have passed since the
bison censed to Inhabit the region of the
ryrcnee. Now, It la virtually certain
that the prehistoric artist represented
In their drawings and sculptures only
animals which were familiarly known to
them. Mingled with pictures of bisons
made by other men who were doubtless
contemporary with this particular artist
there are figures of a number of animals
that have king been extinct in Europe.
His special claim to distinction resides
In the fact that his work is the only
known examplo of modeling In clay that
has up to th present time ever been
found In th haunts of paleolithic man.
The clay that ' he . worked over In his
hands ud rejected Is to bo seen thers
today. He left lumps of It which he had
kneuded and thrown aside. The spot
where he got the kind of clay that suited
him, and scraped together, has been
found In another near part of the cavern.
Ills footmarks have boon traced to
gether with what may have been trial
aketchea of his masten k-cea. If the Oreek
Phidias had left uch relics, the artistic
world would go crasy over them. But
this stone age Phidias seems to hav
been, for his time, a more original gen
ius than he who adorned the Parthenon.

One of the thiiiK taught u by the war

so far from being Christian, is to a con
siderable extent a venee:-.
Men had been talking so amicably and
with such apparent conviction aliout the
brotherhood of man that we had come to
feel that everybody Inside of Christen
dom, along with a good many outside,
felt himself to le actually a brother to
everybody else, and that divisions among
nations were rather a geograf hlcal dis
tinction than an thing more serious and
essential. The result of a j ear's wr
