They Pined.

Kissing games, of course, are always
sweet, but there is more honey-dew to
the square yard in the rural districts in
the mountains of North Carolina than
usually pervades even candy-pulls. The
Washington Post in describing one of
these games in that locality informs us
that lot of big-limbed, powerful young
men and apple-cheeked, buxom girls
gather and select one Of their number
as master of ceremonies. He takes his
station in the centre of the room, while
the rest pair off and parade around him.
Suddenly one young woman will throw
up her hands and say:
am a-pinin'."
The master of ceremonies takes it up
and the following dialogue and inter-
locution takes place:
Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says
she's a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabella
Jane Apthorp a-pinin' fur?"
Pm a-pinin' fur sweet kiss"

Talking to Mars.

AS compared with the stars. the
planets, which, like the earth, circle
around The sun, are neigh bors, and the
moon is a bedfellow. May we not rea-
sonably hope to be able to establish
some communication wi h our fellow
planets, even if the stars are inacce SSH
BILE? 1t is perhaps not absolutely
impossible that if our hypothetical
relatives upon the planet Mars were to
construct series of letters no less than
hlty or one hundred miles in hight and
width (by painting them in some way
upon some great plain, or marking
them out by rows of powerful electric
lights) we might read the word if
they were thoughtful enough to write
1t in some terrestrial language. And if
we were to answer by similar charac-
tiers on the desert of Sahara, or some
other cloudless plain, and they had
tele scopes as powerful as ours, they
might read our response. But nothing
on smaller scale would do. OF course.
II the language of the Martians is not
the same as one of ours the method
would fail. In that most probable case
it might be possible, as Flammarian
and others have suggested, that by the
construction of regular geomeirical
figures on some such scale we and our
distant brothers might come to recog-
nize each others existence, but little
more. If the moon were not the air.
less waste it is known to be, if it were
possibly habitable and actually inhab-
tied by some colony from the earth of
persons who understand the Morse's
alphabet or the wig-wag" of the sig
nal service, we could talk with them by
flashes of electric light such as it would
be perfectly possible to make by means
now at our disposal. But it is certain
that there is no man in the moon. -

Batter Bread.

Put on top Of the bot stove an earth
enware baking dish, in which may b 2
put one tablespoonful of butter to melt
as the dish becomes heated. Leave this
while preparing The batter, for which
take three cupfuls of corn meal, adding
an egg, and level teaspoonful of soda.
Salt to taste. Beat this well, and lastly
pour into it, and stir, the melted butter;
return it to the hot dish and let it stand
on the stove one minute, when it mus,
be placed in the owe n to bake for thirty
or forty minutes, and serve in the bak-
ing dish, hot; on the table, cut from
the center and lift carefully, with the
knife slipped under the slice. This is
very different from the corn bread one
usually finds on the Northern table. To
cultivate taste for it would be very
profitable to family where there are
children, for it is a most nutritious a.
well IS economical food 1t may, also
be cooked on the griddle as y" corn
cakes" but they are harder to turn
than wheat -four cakes, and so must be
made rather smaller. If sour milk is
not at hand, sweet milk may be used:
but two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
must also be substituted for the Soda

Changed the Subject.

One of the most difficult things to do
gracefully, is to change the current of
an unpleasant conversation. But the
small boy can do it, if circumstance s
make it necessary. " Thomas, will We u
please tell me why you pulled up the
onions from my Danvers onion bed?
How many times have l told you to
keep away from the garden?" Thomas
grew red in the face, and his grand
father went on to depict the evil fate
that was sure to befall boys who went
around destroying what their elders had
planted. Meantime, Thomas had pulled
himself together, and, as the harangue
was concluded, he said, with a smile,
referring to an event of the previous
week "Pity our old rooster died,
wasn't it, grandpa?"

Nothing Pay, Nothing Value.

AS young man James Russell Lowell
visited the White Mountains, and he
used to relate this anecdote as one of
his experiences there: 81 was walking
through the Franconia Notch, and
stopped to chat with hermit, who fed
with gradual logs the unwearied teeth
of a sawmill. l asked him the best
point of view for the Old Man of the
Mountain. Dun however see it,
Too young and too happy either to feel
or affect the Juvenalian Indifference,

pressed it. The log compelling man
attempted no justification, but after a
little while asked, Come from Bawsn?'

AT one of these entertainments,
which 1t was the narrator's fortune to
attend, there was remarkably beautiful
young woman who had been married
about a mcnh. Her husband was
present, huge, beetle browed, black
eyed young un'aineer, with a fist
like ham. The boys fought shy of
the bride for fear of mourning the
anger of the hulking spouse. The
game went on for some time, when
symptoms of irritation developed in the
giant. Striding to the middle of the
room, he said:

Flowing with Dynamite.

Sub-soil blowing with dynamite is
one of the new methods in the South.
and it is said to be equal to the process
of trenching used by market gardeners
to loosen the earth to depth of two or
three feet and allow the absorption of
a good deal of water for sustaining
vegetation during drought. The in
ventor drills holes two or three feet deep
and five feet apart, making 1900 to the
acre. In each he puts an explosive,
and after tamping, discharges it, the
whole number being connected with
wire leading to battery, In recent
experiment the explosive used was one
fourth of a small-sized dynamite car
fridge, with about an ounce of Judson
powder. The surface of the ground
appeared to be lifted two or three feet,
a few small clods being thrown to the
hight of house. 1t was broken to the
depth of thirty inches at the points of
the explosion and sideways for a part
of the distance between the holes.-Netp

Food Before Sleep.

Many persons, though not actually
sick, keep below par in strength and
general tone, and | am of the opinion
that fasting during the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and es-
pecially the complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep, adds greatly to
the amount of cancellation, sleeples sness,
and general weakness we so often meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body
there is a perpetual disintegration of
tissue, sleeping or waking; it is there
fore logical to believe that the supply
of nourishment should be somewhat
continuous, especially in those who are
below par, if we would counterfeit their
emaciation and lowered degree of vital
ity; and as bodily exercise is suspended
during sleep, with wear and tear cor.
respondingly diminished, while diges.
ton, assimilation, and nutritive activ-
ity continue as usual, the food furnished
during this period adds more than is
destroyed, and increased weight and
improved general vigor is the result.

by natural instinct, and every being
with stomach, except man, eats before
sleep, and even the human infant,
guided by the same instinct, sucks FIRE.

Digestion requires no interval of rest
and II the amount of food during the
twenty-four hours is, in quantity and
quality, not beyond the physiological
limit, it makes no hurtful difference to
the stomach how few or how short are
the intervals between eating, but it does
make q vast difference in the weak and
emaciated ones welfare to have a mod.

ROssini's Revenge.

Early in 1913, when the composer
Ros SIM was about twenty-one years old,
he left San Nose theater, at Venice, to
accept a commission from the Grand
theater in the same city, but the man
ager of the San Nose, angry at his de-
lection, contrived to have imposed on
him an absurd libretto, for which he
was required to furnish music. Rossini
was equal to the emo rgency, ard wrote
music, which in every instance was as
absurd as the libretto. Melodies were
given to instruments on which they
sounded prepcsterously. The songs for
the basso singer were written so high
that he was forced to sing in falsetto;
those for the soprano so low that she
could only croak through them; the
solos were accompanied by couple of
tromhones and a bassoon, and every
trick and device that could render the
performance ridiculous was resorted TO
by the indignant composer. The crown
ing piece Of nonsense, however, was
that which gave the name TO the opera,
AT the end Of every bar the second vio-
linists tapped the lamp. shades with their
bows to mark the tempo. The opera
was performed but orce. The audience
was not in the secret, and after ex-
pressing their dissatisfaction in various
ways, finally rose in body, wrecked
the theater, and forced the manager,
composer and singers to flee for their
lives. Quiet was restored by the ar
rival of detachment of troops sent to
suppress the riot, but the popular indig-
nation against Rossini was not APP
peased until the appearance of Tan
credi few months later.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
