Mexicans TortiIIas.

Tortillas are thin, flat cakes fried on a piece of sheet iron over a brasero of charcoal. They are made of corn soaked in lime water all night, then mashed into paste with roller on hollow stone called metate, identical with those used by rhe Indians long be- fore the Spanish invasion, the mass shaped into cakes by delft batting of the bands that is often heard as one walks past humble Mexican homes. They have the sweet taste of the cereal, but are too tough for American digestion. Often they are folded to- gether and used as scoops for the compounds, hot with chili pepper, that are dear to the Mexican palate, or as plates on which to spread frijoles.- National Magazine.

Got the .Job.

The young man stood before the great steel magnate. A moment later the latter looked up.
 He started at the rough clothing, the muddied shoes and the unkempt hair of the youth.
 "Well?" he said.
 The youth retained his presence of mind. He wanted job because he needed it.
 ''Sir,'' he said, CT have came-''
 He got no further. A smile irradi- ated the magnate's face.
 "That's all right" he said; "the job is yours. was afraid at first that you might be one of those worthless col lege graduates"
 And when the youth, the valedic- torian of his class and the pride of the university, again faced his mirror he winked expressiyely at his own reflec- tion.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

K,n.hip of Kings of Europe.

The sovereign families of Europe, de- spite all political differences, form one vast family, closely bound by ties of blood and innumerable intermarriage This will be understood better when it is stated that every crowned head in Europe at the present moment is de- scended from Mary Queen of Scots,with the exception Of the king of Sweden [who is the descendant of Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's chessmen), the king of Servia (who was recently but peas ant1, and the princes of f-onaco and Montenegro. Common origins could be found further back than Mary, while some monarchs, like the German em- peror and the czar of Russia, might be descended differently by following the male line. There has been no room to show that the king of Roumania claims Mary as his ancestor. Mary Queen of Scots has over 1.1so descendants living. London Sphere.

NPoppy Thursday. in Mexico.

Thursday, in the church of Carmen, in San Angel, occurred one of the most unique and charming religious festivals of the year, 'sthe feast of the poppies." On this day, which is known as Poppy Thursday San Angel is sought by visitors from the neighbor- ing districts and from the capital, who go to see the festival in the interesting and extremely ancient church. The feature of the ceremony is the process sion through the churchyard of the priest and his assistants, attended by the faithful, to the different shrines erected in the inclosure. Their prog ress is made perfect cloud of poppy petals, showered upon them from the top of the high wall, and this in connec- tion with the floral decorations on every side, makes charmingly poetic scene. The poppy petals are also fall- ing during the service within the church. The fiesta commentaries the appearance of the Saviour, after His resurrection, to St. Mary's Magdalene. Mexican Herald.

Ex-Aspiratfne.

A young man blessed with nice
 tenor voice, seriously marred by his defective enunciation, was asked at a smoker to favor the company with a song. He gave a very fair rendition of the once popular Happy Be Thy Dreams" but did not aspirate the etter ''h" once. When he had finished he resumed his seat, which was next to the one occupied by bald-headed old man, who bluntly remarked: You have a good voice, young man, but you didn't sound one single hand the song's full of 'em." 'I beg your par don, sir," retorted the vocalist with dignity, lyon are mistaken; it doesn't go any igher than G!"-London King.

Lnn~est Enrlish Word.

The editor of the New English Die tionary points out in his note to ''In- Infer'' that those who are interested in the length of words will observe that incircumscriptibleness has as many letters as honorifcabilitudini viz, 22. The authority quoted for the former word is one Byfeld, di- vine, who, in treatise on Colossians, published in 1915, wrote: ''The i'm mensity of Christ's Divine nature hath * x incircumscriptib1e- ness in respect to place" in the re- cent biography of Dr. Benson is an entry from the archbishop's diary to the effect that sthe Free kirk of the north of Scotland are strong antidis- establishmentarians s'-26 letters.- Temple Magazine.

A InnuIe TeIenhone.

The recent laying by the Moeara- Enim company of the telephone wires thr ough the Sumatra jungle was diff ficult and dangerous undertaking. In the forests were elephants, tigers, hogs and other wild animals, and these were not only source of danger to the work men, but they frequently uprooted the telephone poles and dislocated the wires. The natives steal wire from the line to make and mend their traps. Tie companies are obliged to place line watchers at intervals of 20 miles to watch and catch these wire wreckers, and also to quickly repair the line whenever it is injured.-Petroleum

Military Pyrotechnics.


 s'Under cover of darkness the enemy advanced" Not any more, if French military experiments prove what they promise. The war department is now firing an Illuminating shell that bursts in the air and emits a fiery body of globular shape which wildly lights up large area for a consider able time. The experiments are for the purpose of improving and perfect ing bombs that are now made for the purpose of exposing the position of an enemy at night, and to reveal the character of defenses to be attacked. These projectiles explode on impact, liberating a flaming compound. One compound, consisting of sulphur, salt petre and hydrocarbon, is blue light mixture. The illumination lasts as long as the saltpetre supplies oxy- gen to maintain combustion. Experl- ments are also under way for re- verse sort of bomb, which, bursting, liberates dense clouds of smoke, for the purpose of concealing the move ments of troops in the field. This is to be an antidote to the former bane. N Y. Herald.

spARRow STEALS A BALLOON.

'eThere is a balloon man going by!''
 Sure enough there was. Ted and Tony rushed to the front door to see the balloons.
 Blue ones and red ones."
 ''Just like a great bunch of grapes.
 ''See 'em bob in the wind.''
 "Oh, oh.''
 Two pairs of boys eyes gazed in an agony of longing at the balloons.
 Uncle Mark was sitting on the porch. He now got up and came to- ward the boys.
 When was a small boy I liked toy balloons"
 T guess all boys do," said Ted, modestly.
 (Which color do you wantg' he pocket.
 Red" said Ted.
 Red" said Tony
 1.-Two red men, said Uncle Mark to the man.
 "oh. mo-" said Ted, sswe don't both want red. They'll get mixed up"
 But I want red, persisted Tony.
 We'll said Ted, little wistfully, ''then I'll take blue.''
 The man loosened from his bunch the strings belonging to a red and a blue balloon.
 'Ketch hold keerful now" he con tinued, ..or they'll get away from ye."
 Let me- said Ted. No, let me, ;" said Tony. Two small hands were stretched out together to take the strings. And whose fault it was-whether of either or both or the balloon man can never be told-the string of the red balloon slipped away.
 Hold on," screamed Tony.
 But the balloon sailed away until it stopped against the branches of a tall tree, with the string hanging down. Uncle Mark tried to seize it, but it was just beyond his reach.
 "Fll go and bring the stepladder," ]" he said. On the way back with it he heard loud cries from the boys. He dropped the ladder and ran to them. It was hard to tell whether the cries were of terror or merriment. What had happened A dozen or more sparrows had been hopping and chirping about, all busy looking about for stuff with which to i build their nests. One pair of the l bright little eyes had spied the string hanging from the balloon. A flash of the brown wings-and the balloon was moving away Look -Lookr'
 Its going off with itl'
 You bring that backr'
 Whose balloon is it ?'' asked Un- | cle Mark
 Mine" said Tony, half inclined to cry.
 But it was so funny to see that spar row hauling away the balloon that I Tony laughed and screamed and clapped their hands until every one about the place came to look. He meant business, that bird They l followed him as he flew with the string around the side of the house. There on q ledge just under the caves of the gable they could see that he was building a nest Watching him, they saw him begin to weave in the ] string.
 Hes welcome to the string. if he'd only let me have my balloon, '' whimpered Tony
 "I wouldn't mind bit if it were mlne." said Ted. Its so comical to see it bobbing in the wind while thai little rascal works away
 ''I don't mind,'' said Tony. s.You never had balloon built into a birds nest
 An hour later the string was much shortened. Before night the balloon was bound down within foot or two of the nest. And there it stayed for weeks. probably to the envy of all other sparrows.
 At last. in q wind storm. it burst and for the rest of the summer a lit ule dab of red hung from the nest when was the last of Tony's balloon I-Vick's Magazine.
