VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American Acuteness Due In Part to
the Midday Repasts.

the Midday Repasts.
A great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound by
lunch" of the American business world
as the sum Of all gastronomic iniqui-
ties. But In so far as the quick lunch
is a light lunch, and it usually is this
It may be a blessing in disguise In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
Of the acuteness and business energy
Of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even if
hurriedly, and drinks but little at the
midday meal; hence his mind is clear
he is not sluggish and he is able to do a
good deal between 1 o'clock and 6.
AS a contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits Of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to that he at
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to counteract. In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist,
who in decrying heavy midday meal
said that "the plan Of eating a heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ernoon recess Of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit In with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the busy mans bite" had better
look a little further into the matter
Perhaps we do eat too much, as Ger
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but it
looks as If we were slowly approximate
ing, the country over, to an ideal dietet-
ic system, for Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal of the day, whatever it may be
called. And if the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect in
this direction it is not the unmixed evil
some declare 1t to Philadelphia
Press.

DR.. johnson, the Ursa Major of Eng

employed 1t in reporting parliamentary
debates. Once DIR. Hawkesworth read
to him a poem which he intended to
publish and asked his opinion of it.

well determine on first hearing. Read
it again" Hawkesworth complied.
The next morning, the subject of the
poem being resumed, johnson said he
had but one objection to it, that he
doubted its originality, and to prove
his statement repeated the whole poem,
with the exception of a few lines.
which so alarmed Hawkesworth that
he declared he would never again read
anything of his composing to Johnson,
who, he said, had a memory which
would convict any author of plagia-
rism.

THE EGYPTIAN LOTUS.
II Grows Perfectly When Planted I'm
Rich Mud

II Grows Perfectly When Planted I'm
Rich Mud.
Egyptian lotus roots may be obtained
from any florist. The seed will readily
terminate if hole is filed or drilled
through the hard shell that moisture
may penetrate the kernel, otherwise
they will lie dormant almost indefinite
ly. 1t is perfectly hardy and comes to
perfection when planted in shallow
water with rich mud and full exposure
to the sun-simply naturaliZed in the
same environments that suit our native
water lily. Artificial ponds or cement
basins are often made for the accom-
mediation of this and other water lilies.
Such tanks should be two or three feet
deep and of any size and outline de-
sired. Twelve by twenty feet is a
nice size for the amateur. 1t is best to
plant the lilies in boxes, say three feet
square and one foot deep, filed with
good rich soil and sunk in the tank
The lotus submits gracefully to cult
walton in tubs. Ordinary half barrels
will do for tubs. Fill them two-thirds
full of rich garden soil, in which plant
the roots Il prefer roots to seed; then
fill tubs full of water and set In
warm, sunny place. In winter remove
the tubs with their contents to cellar.
A beautiful aquatic garden may be
had by arranging several tubs Of lotus
and nympea into a mound or circle
and filling the spaces between them
with ferns, arrowheads and other
moisture loving plants.-Home and

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
off before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get at
them and eat them. Our northern
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with a sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and finches
Of temperate chimes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to deyour and to dispense the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bride of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas,
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them.
They lay themselves out for disper-
sion by monkeys. toucans and other
relatively large and powerful fruit eat
ers, and the rind is put there as bar
rier against small thieves who would
rob the sweet pulp, but be absolutely
incapable of carrying away and dig
persing the large and richly stored
seeds it covers.-Cornhill Magazine.

interesting to Americans. But 1t is the
fad OF the day to be interested in any
and everything that relates to the col
onial times.
Mary Johnston was fortunate in Sc
lecting the time of the early colonies as
tho period in which she placed her char
acters She could have chosen no time
that would nave acded so much to the
popularity of her books. Most of her
characters are impcss ible at any time,
but, owing to the roughness, narrowness
and wildness OF tho country, during the
early colonies, and the distance that the
intervening years lend, we allow our
selves to be persuaded by the power or
her narrative and the witchery of her
style to believe that they might have
been possible at that time.
ITO Have and to Hold is her secono
and most popular book. While reading
1t one is blinded to it's many defects by
the force of the narrative and the charm
OF her style. When finished, closed and
land aside you find that the plot is poor,
its characters are not only improbable,
but impossible, There are no epigrams
in it, and the story is ended long before
1t is finished. ITO Have and to Hold
is not a great book, as time will show,
and owes a vast amount of its popular
ity to the fact that it treats of a time
that is popular to-day.
Red Pottage," another popular book
Of the day, by Mary Cholomonday, is the
strongest and most enduring OF the above
mentioned books. She has not the gift
of word painting nor the wonderful abil-
ity to narrate that Miss Johnston has,
but her characters show that her gem
ordinations are based on a wider knowl-
edge OF life.
She brings in the questions Of the day.
