PLENTY OF CHALK.
Great Block That Was Once as Large ~
the Continent of Europe.

The small piece Of chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroom, the lec-
ture room, the billiard room and the
workshop has strange history, the un-
rayeling of which through all its COM
plexities is one of the most difficult
problems with which the science of the
present day is called upon to deal. This
piece is in reality chip of an immense
block OF chalk that once filed an area
the size of the continent of Europe, and
OF which even yet several gigantic frag
ments remain, each hundreds of square
miles in extent These patches are scat
tered over the region lying between Ire
land on the west aud China on the east
and extend in the other direction from
Sweden i'll the north to Portugal in the
south.
In the British Isles the chalk is found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast of England. A
sheet of chalk more than 1000 feet in
thickness underlies all that portion Of
England which is situated to the south
east of line crossing the island dag
Onally from the North sea at Flambor-
ough Head to the coast on the English
channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet
of chalk is tilted up slightly on the
west, and its depressed eastern portions
that dip toward the waters of the North
sea are usually buried from sight by
means of everything sands and clays.
Where the edges of the chalk floor come
upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik-
ingly grand and beautiful. Any one
who has once seen the magnificent rocks
of Marlborough and Beechy Head, the
Jagged stacks of the Needles or the dir
zy mass of Shakespeare's cliff, near Do
yer, can understand why "the white
cliffs of Albion" has grown into stock
phrase.
This massive sheet of chalk appears
again in France, in many other parts O
Europe as far east as the Crimea, ant
even in central Asia beyond the sea o
Aral. How far it stretched westward
into what is now the Atlantic may new
er be known, but chalk cliffs of at leas
200 feet in thickness are seen at An
trim, in Ireland, and less conspicuou
formations are found in Scotland, i
Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be III
tie question that all these now isolate
patches were once connected i'll col
tinuous sheet, which must, therefore
have occupied superficial area abor
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broat
an extent larger than that of the pre-
ent continent of Europe. - Pittsbur

Named the Fabrics.

At very early period i'll the north
ern republics of Italy commerce and
manufacture became very active, due III
q great measure to the stimulus given
by the maritime supremacy OF the cities
of Genoa, Pisa and Venice and to the
corresponding activity i'll trade in such
prosperous interior cities as Milan,
Florence, Bologna and Padua. Milan
and Mantua gave us milliners and man
tua makers, and Leghorn attached its
name to a certain kind of hat and straw.
England, Ireland and Scotland have
given number of names to fabrics
made in certain localities, of which
tweeds, cheviots and linsey woolsey are
familiar examples. Worsted comes from
the village of Worsted, near Norfolk,
and drugget may be traced to Droghe-
da, Ireland.
Other materials of diverse origin are
batiste, so called from its French IN
ventor, Baptiste, and grenadine, which
was first made in Grenada. The derl-
walton of the word jet is quite interest
ing. 1t was first found near the river
and town of Gagas, in Asia Minor,
whence it's old French name, gagate,
jayet or jaet, which eventually devei'
oped into the English jet

The PORTER HIS BoOTJAcK.
struggle In Pullman Which Intsr-
eted the Car

A traveller recently witnessed an
amusing episode on train betweon
chicago and Kansas City. A very re-
spectacle aud well TO do old gentleman
was III the car. When bedtime came
he struggled witt his boots. He first
put one foot on his knee and tupged
AS ne was travelling his boots were new.
The boot wouldn't bulge in that posi-
tion, SO he placed the toe of the other
boot against the heel and tried il that
way. The boot stuck Then he hooked
his foot around the other leg and took
hold OF the heel and tried to "work" it
oil, but 1t wouldn't come. At last he
went in search Of the porteg and de-
manded a bootjack.
"Clar to goodness, boss, amt got one
IN de cyah. Unc' George don't furnish
us no bootjacks.
Sympathlzing passengers tried to
think the old man out of his troubles,
ana drummer, as usual, brought forth
the best suggestion:
Make the porter pull them off, he
said
So the porter took off his jacket and
turned back his cuffs and went to work.
He tugged and pulled and seesawed
the boot back and forth and perspired
and grunted, but the boot wouldn't
move. The drummer filled the breach
again.
Il used to pull my grandfather
boots off sometimes when was a boy, )
he said. "Tell You how did it. Turf
round" he said to the darky. TIL,
darky turned. Nov take the boot be
tween your legs, grasp the heel and to-
and yank." The darky did so. The oil
gentleman chung desperately to the seat
The boot began to move and finally sli,
off, almost throwing the puller acros
the car. The crowd applauded. -Kansa

ries and mixture of currants and rasp-
berries. Press sufficient fruit to make
one pint of juice. Moisten tablespoon

add to it gradually pint of boiling
water and add sugar according to the ma
ture of the fruit used. Let this puree
stand moment, then take from the
fire and add the fruit juice. At serving
time fill punch bowl half full OF crack

Ancient ThermOpYle.

An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that in spite OF the
fact. which is we'll known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-
tive route by Deleghi, which crosses the
hills mile and a half north OF the
springs by well engineered zigzags' is
equally capable of defense and leads IN
to a country of most difficult charac'
ter. Either pass might be held indefi-
nitely by 5000 men. The coast road IS
absolutely commanded from the heights
SO that comparatively small force
would render it impossible, while the
fat lowland lying near the sea Is
marshy and intersected by dikes'

Two New England Churches.

There are Catholic communities, both
in America and in the old world, says
Alvan +. Sanborn in The Atlantic,
where an extreme wretchedness in the
dwellings is at once partially explained
by the richness and beauty of the
churches But not so in Dickerman. On
the contrary, both the Dickerman
churches are of piece with their sur
roundings. The Congregational church,
more than century old (Orthodox is
the name it still goes by, was a worthy
structure in its day and would be so yet
had it been kept in good repair Alas,
it is only the ghost of its former preten-
tious self. Its stills are badly rotted. Its
spire and belfry have been shattered by
lightning and imperfectly restored. Its
roof is leaky, the clapboards of its walls
are warped and blistered, and its heavy
bell, once sweet of tone, is cracked and
dissonant. The Baptist church, built
only few years ago, mainly at the ex-
pense of a church building society, is
one of the shoddily constructed many
gabled atrocities due to the malign III
fluence of the so called Queen Anne
restoration. Its original coat of paint
of many colors has mostly soaked into
the surrounding soil. Its panes of STAIN
ed glass, as they have been broken from
time to time, have been replaced by or
binary window glass, with piebald un
canny results.

The rolling sun stands still.

With threatening aspect roar.

And chains you to the shore.

Disturb the sparrows' nest.

LEAN EAT.
1t Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven.
ty-eight Per Cent OF Water.

ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat, it may surprise many to
learn, is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may con-
tain as much as IS per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent. The flesh of fish is more
watery than ordinary butcher meat.
Thus salmon contains five-eighths Of its
total weight of water, cod four-ffths
and founders six-sevenths.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but small percentage Of
water, and consequently a dry food,
are -four and oatmeal, and sugar is a
food entirely devoid Of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to a
machine, and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working, Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
we eat, and in default of food the ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value of food may be estimated
in terms of the amount of heat it vii
give rise to. The most concentrated foot
fuel is fat. When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is giver
by the burning of either the albuminoid
or the carbohy drates Fatty foods, there
fore, possess a much greater heating
value than nonfatt- fools -ohiladel

Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A.
nj. - Topic, Paurs Prayers
For the Churches.

SCRIPTURE READING Rom. 1, o; Thess.
iii, 1913; Heb. xiii, 20-2l.
There are several noteworthy partic-
ulars in the prayers of Paul. He was
persistent. Deeply humble and submis-
sive in his attitude toward God, he also
possessed that quality of soul specially
commended by Jesus in the parable of
the unjust judge where the persistent
faith and petitioning Of the woman
gained her cause He is not intermit
tent in his asking. When he sees the
need of a church, he prays earnestly
and constantly that the need may be
supplied. He is so earnest in nature
that he cannot throw off that need. lt
presses mind and spirit. 1t Is ever pres
ent with him, waking and sleeping.
He dreams of it in sleep and plans for
it awake. He bears it in his mind and
in his prayers until praying becomes a
constant attitude of soul in desire to-
ward God.
Expectantly Submissive.
The apostle is fertile in resources. If
the ends he seeks cannot be accom-
plished in one way, he searches for an
other. He is not determined on any one
way, but is willing to take any right
way SO only the desired result is accom-
plished. For years he had been i'm
pressed with the need of establishing
the church of Christ in Rome. A few
disciples were found there at various
times. Probably some of his own fam
lily, perhaps his mother, had settled
there The strategic value of the capital
city as center from which the gospel
could spread was impressed upon him.
He longed to get there and was "alway'
in his prayers making request if by any
means he might have prosperous jour
ney by the will of God" to go unto them
He finally went i'll an unexpected man
ner-as a prisoner. Keenly he felt the
humiliation. Meekly and gladly he bore
it for Christ.

The opening games of the Northwest
ern Cricket association tournament
were played at Lexington park yester-
day. Chicago was pitted against Min
nesota, and Omaha against Manitoba.
Both games were rather one-sided,
though interesting. Chicago and Man
itoba Won The Winnipeg eleven was
late in reaching the city, the train be-
ing delayed, but the other three teams
were on hand. Play. however, did not
begin until afternoon, and the wickets
were pitched for the Chicago Mime
sofa game. The wicket was fair, and
the Chicago men started in at once to
roll up score, Davis and Williamson
facing the bowling of Goodwin and
Saulez Five of the visitors placed
double numbers to their credit, and
when the last wicket fell the Chicago
men had 40 runs. They didn't play
anything like the weak team which
some of the Chicago papers minated
was coming, owing to the fact that
some of the clubs of that city didn't
send any representative. In Mime
sofas turn at the bat little was accom-
plished until Saulez faced one of the
bowlers. He made a great stand, and
had any one been able to keep him
company, even though they had done
no scoring, he would have seemingly
helped the score materially. AS it was,
he carried his bat through for AZ runs.
Jaffray was the only other man in the
eleven who made double number. Fol
lowing is the score: LII
