An athlete is of the opinion that one
cause of the frequency of bad blcy-
cling accidents among women is that
the latter are more foolhardy than men.
This. he thinks, arises largely through
ignorance. Men are trained from early
youth in their sports and games to
measure yards and feet with the eye, at
a glance, an ability possessed by very
few women. The latter will take chances
between carts or other bicycles that
man would avoid.
A late addition to the list of food poi
sons has been developed in the recent
happening at Hollidaysburg, Pa. AT
wedding feast sixty persons were made
i'll, and the investigation which followed
disclosed the chicken salad as the prob
able cause, that being the only Wand
of which everyone of the sixty had par
taken. Analysis proved the correctness
of the suspicion. In it were found
traces of a poison which the experts de-
clared was produced by THE chemical ac-
tion of the vinegar upon the egg and OIL
of the mayonnaise dressing. For our
continued confidence, however, in the
delectabba mayonnaise, the same eX-
perts assert that this poison is devel-
oDed under the combination referred to,
with the greatest rarity. That it is ever
so developed will be news to many
housekeepers, and the fact will convert
many more to the use of lemon juice for
the acid of tine dressing. Much CONNER
cial vinegar is an unknown quantity
in these days, while the cheapness and
purity of lemons offer in them a salts
factory substitute.
Rice pudding, plain and homely dish
though it is, attests it's wide popularity
by constantly recurring additions and
notifications to change its service while
preserving its principle. Some house
keepers copy the method of the best no
tells and serve individual puddings, each
baked III a small bowl Chopped figs
and dates are added in one household,
where the first call of the incoming
boardling-school youngsters is for "our
kind of rice pudding" Connoisseurs,
however, claim that it is the two ta-
blespoonfuls of rice to the quart of
milk, with pinch of salt. little nut
meg, and sweatening to taste the whole,
cooked slowly for hours to a cream, that
produces the dish in its perfection

One of the puzzling things to the
students Of the new science of pathology,
or child-study, is the different methods
which children employ In learning to
walk. One child will never creep but
rise up suddenly and toddle off, another
will creep entirely with one knee and in
a sideways direction. but he. too. finds
the use of his legs and feet in good time,
while a third bitches along the floor in
a sitting posture for weeks before he
stands and starts away. Many more
varieties of the plain straightforward
creeping have been discovered, and the
experts are wondering why this should
be. as walking is one Of the most in
stinctive habits of the human animal.
and ought to be reached by a similar
process in all cases.
