He Got a Few Things Very Badly
Mixed Up.
The editor of a German newspaper
and was %recounting his varied expert
.ences since entering the field of jour
nalism.
About ten years ago a German uni
versity graduate drifted into my office
said he, and applied for a position. He
was a scholar in the German language
all right enough, but his English was a
trife off color. In spite of this, how
ever, we gave him a position translat-
ing our telegraph service from English
to German. The regular man was sick,
and we were glad to fall in with the
university man from over the sea.
Along came a report OF a function at
which the decorations were described at
some length. Among other particulars
it set forth that one of the throne
chairs was upholstered in the coat of
arms of the family.
"Our German friend knew what coat
meant and he was aware of the mean
ing of arms, so he went ahead without
asking any questions, and when the
proof came down from the printer |
was surprised to find that the chair
referred to had been covered with an
army coat. The mex night he ran
across a gathering of veterans at Mis-
sionary Ridge. The report proceeded
to detail the itinerary of the veterans
during their rambles about the old
battlefield. Lookout Mountain was
mentioned, of course, but when my Ger
man friend got through with the trans
lation the story announced that the vet
Grams had assembled the mountain, look
ed out and saw the missionary coming
over the ridge. We took the newcomer
of the telegraph desk mex day, and set
him to writing editorials"

dug to accommodate the bodies of mice.
Presently she came to a rounded cell

Bombus. the homes we dig are our own.
We have no fear of a previous owner
coming back to turn us out"
But Mrs. tBombus only laughed and
skinned away. All day she buzzed
about gathering honey. The honeybees
despised her because she laid up no
honey for winter as they did.
One day Mrs. Bombus laid some eggs
in the little underground home. From
these in a short time, much to her de-
light, emerged little white grubs. The
grubs grew beautifully. In a few days
she expected them to spin eoo or
little white coverlets, around their bod
les, and from these they would emerge
young bumblebees.
One morning just as they were think
ing of wrapping themselves up there
came a pattering of small feet down
the passage, and the little, sharp lead
of Mr.. Mouse intruded.

one has taken possession Of the house.

Mrs. Bombus was half asleep. Be-

Mouse had opened his mouth and bolt

posed OF the grubs.

not dainty morsels, but it was our only
way to get rid of the i~ntruders."
Then the mice went on into a smaller
cell that spread out of a narrow pas

selves much in need OF owing to the

one.

IA California fruit association has
been developing the food possibilities
of the prune with surprising results.
Housekeepers who think of prunes as
only to be stewed or stuffed will be
edited to learn that a "prune contest,
conducted by the association produced
over a hundred recipes for different
methods of cooking the healthful and
nutritious member of the plum family.
A recipe that took the first prize was
for plain stewed prunes, and may be
accepted, therefore, as the most perfect
method by which to prepare the fruit
in that way:
Wash n pound of prunes in sew
eral waters, nearly cover with water,
and let stand over night. Then sim
mer on back of stove till tender. Just
before removing from stove add a
large tablespoonful of sugar.
Another recipe provides for stewing
prunes in large quantities and without
soaking:

times in clean cold water, then cover

Remarkable Whist Deal.


The Whist editor OF the New York
Evening Post, who in the writer's
judgement, is excellent authority upon
3he royal game, has the following to
say upon deviating from system or rule.
Students of Whist will profit by a care
ful reading his remarks.
Now, so far as opening the hand or
tginally, there are few conscientious
players who will dispute the necessity
of playing whatever system IS i'll use,
TOR the reason that to do otherwise
would be to run the risk Of deceiving
III partner with a possible loss Of tricks

ed, however, THAT the opening of a deal
DIS one thing, while obtaining the lead
even SO early as the first trick is an
other matter. "A great amount Of infor-
mation may be conveyed by the fall of
even so few as four cards, and If there
should ibe revelations made at that
time, making it evident that to follow

game, he who would make the sacrifice
would be a very tyro at whist.
