Fourteen Kinds OF Cake.

Halter, a famous Swiss scientist Of
the eighteenth century, was once
we'll rewarded for his poiteness to a
fellow traveller. Some scientists find
it hard to take an interest in any
thing except their own speclalties.
It was not SO with Haller. His fell
low traveller was q good woman from
Berne. Ehe conversation fell nat
urally upon the commodity for which
Berne is noted cakes.
The BAne dame said with pride
that she could make II kinds of cakes
What was her surprise and delight
when Hullcr asked her how she made
thcmo She eagerly began q recital
with copious explanations, of those
ii recipes, and She had a good lis
tener.
Perhaps Ha1lcr regretted his rash
question, but he did not show it. He
listened patiently and smilingly to
the end, and he and the Berncsc
woman parted very good friends
though he had hardly spoken a word.
1t is safe to say that in all his scion
tific researches he had not learned SO
much about the combination of but
ter and sugar and eggs.
Some time aftcrward he was
elected to an important political
Office. From some quarters he re-
ceived an unexpected number OF
votes. Then he found out that his
Bclnoso cakemakin" friend had been
so impressed with the intelligence
and ability Of her fellow traveller
that when she heard he was running
for Office she gave her relatives,
friends and a"qunlntaucrs no peace
until she had srcm.Cd their promise
to vote for hl,n. -Iout:l's Com
