NOBLE BECOMES A A
TOWN $4,000 for the Poor he TIaysrsss
Nine Countries on Foot.

To VIII $4,000 for the Poor he Traysrsss
Nine Countries on Foot.
That the poor and the suffering
Of. his native Italy may be helped,
Conte Della Ginestra Reggie Saliva
tore is travelling alone, on foot, across
the waste places Of America. He
is to get $4,000 when he has accom-
plished the feat Of ~traversing SIX
countries without money and with
out begging or stealing. He has gone
across three countries in a year and
there yet remains two years for him
to cross the six more in. The money
has been placed in a bank in Rome.
He does not doubt that he will whit.
According to the New York World
Conte Sa~lvatore's pilgrimage is born
Of a defy that was made in the club
rooms Of a swell Italian club in Rome
in February a year ago. Duke Spin
ETH, in the heat Of a dispute over
modes of travel, suddenly exclaimed
that he would give $4,000 to the
man present who would journey
without money oyer nine countries
in three years. Conte Salvatore
overheard the defy and volunteered
to undertake the trip, stating, how
ever, that he would pay the money to
the poor Of Palermo, Sicily, then in
great distress, in event he was sue
cessful.
Without a cent of money, unused
to labor and unable to speak any Ian
guage but his own, Conte Salvatore
started from his home in Naples on
the first day Of March, a year ago.
He has had many narrowing expert
ences and has suffered many rebuffs
since he began his hazardous tour,
but he showed no traces of the trials
Of INDECENT travel when he arrived
in Oakland, Cal, recently. He is a
good-looking Italian and vel
dressed, and he has discovered that
garlic in this country is as abundant
ss it is in his own.

AS TO LEAST RESISTANCE.
An Instance Which Human Intellect and
Inanimate Nature Disagree.

An Instance Which Human Intellect and
Inanimate Nature Disagree.
We all recognize the law that NOV
ing bodies seek the direction Of least
resistance; but we r too likely to
restrict its application to inanimate
bodies, forgetting that it applies to
animate nature and to conscious be-
ings just as well. Observe your
neighbor and yourself carefully, and
you will find that this law isconstant-
ly operating, mentally, as well as
physically, says a writer for the New
York Herald.
Now, inanimate nature can make
no mistake in deciding on the direc-
ton Of least resistance, but when
fallible human intellect becomes a
factor we find variation in practice,
but the law remains infallible, for
the direction has least resistance for
the particular intellect.
With considerable interest l OBJ
served the working of this law recent
ly on a street where there are two
platforms over the sidewalk, made
necessary by building operations.
They are a short distance apart, and
while one Of them has six steps at
each of its ends, for foot passengers
to ascend and descend in their prog
ress, the other one has four steps
two less.
1t is a matter Of surprise what q
potent influence in deciding on the
direction of least resistance those
two steps are. BY actual count, /
found that out Of every 100 pedestri-
ans who approach the six steps IS
Of them turn into the street and walk
around the obstruction, because to
them that is the direction Of least
resistance.
There is less resistance in going
over that obstruction than in turn
ing from it and walking in the street.
Toputitin figures, while the six steps
make So per cent. resistance, thefour
steps make only 20perc cent. That is,
The two steps make IS per cent. DIFF
ference in the amount Of resistance.

Elk Hil.


The following appeared in Boston
Ideas, a magazine of Boston, Mass,
concerning a Lafayette countian's
literary work:
Elk Hill is a volume of verse by Will
Ward Mitchell, a young poet whose
volume of "Sonnets" was reviewed a
few weeks ago. The initial selection,
giving the title to the book, is themed
in beautiful sentiment and in deep con-
victions, and it is handled with rare
grace and harmony. 1t Is an excep-
tionallY strong piece of work The
collection altogether is V%iriIely indi-
vidual and arouses continuous interest
because of its versatility, and Its per-
sistent sincerity in both its matter and
Its method Of expression.
"Mrs. Santa is q rather clever con.
ception, and well written, though the
climaxing idea is not as well expressed
as is what precedes. Humor, senti-
ment, philosophy, all human thought
and emotion play pleasingly through
the poems following, some being mere
briefly stated thoughts, others more
reflective observation and comment.
All are animated by perceptions keenly
alive, and by admirable understanding
of human nature and the emotions un-
derlying its activities. The collection
seems an admirably spontaneous ex-
preston of nature on the part Of the
author, whose scope is both broad and
deep. His technique averages uniformly
good and often delightfully."-, artlstically
smooth by reason of the vital strength
Of the feeling animating it.

CULINARY CONCEPTS.

Do not put salt into soup until you
are done Swimming it, as salt will stop
the rising of the scum.
Always put onions on To cook in
plenty of cold water. This prevents
them from turning dark.
Always heat the frying basket be
fore putting in the fat When cold, it
takes too much heat from the fat.
It is better to boil eggs twenty min
utes than ten, as in the former case
they are mealy and dry and more read
lily digested.
When making sauce, melt the butter
in the saucepan first and when bub-
bling hot add the flour. Blend thor
oughly and smoothly before adding
milk or stock.
When pan broiling chops, always
stand them for minute on their ends.
that the fat edge may be cooked crisp
and brown instead of remaining pale
and unsightly.
When boiling fish, always add slice
of onion, a bouquet of herbs ana half
a dozen peppercorns to the water, not
forgetting some vinegar. This is Il
French recipe and is most excellent.
When you make light biscuit, roll
out the dough and cut out the biscuit
with the cutter Just as you do your
short biscuit. They will rise quicker,
bake fresher and be perfectly uniform
In size.

An Ob1iginG Caller.

When NJ. Clemenceau was in the
French chamber of deputies. he be
came for some reason the idol of the
workingman, but his popularity, ac-
cording to the course of nature, brought
its penalties. He was besieged by all
sorts of people, who came merely to
ask questions, and sometimes they
were questions of the most trivial sort.
He was originally doctor and used
to give advice for nothing at certain
hours of the day. One morning work
ingman entered his room, and Clemen-
ceau said without looking up from his
writing:
"Take off your coat and shirt. I'll
attend to you directly"
Three minutes later he found the
man had stripped to the waist.
"There is nothing the matter with
you," said the doctor when he had
made an examination.
81 know there isn'tv' returned the
man.
"Then what did you come for"
ITO consult you on political ques-
ton"
But what did you strip for?"
81 thought you wanted an illustra-
ton of the emaciated body of the man
who lives by the sweat of his brow"
The political question remained I'M
answered. NJ. Clemenceau was too ex-
asperated to do more than tell the man
to dress and go home.

Conversation between those introduc

dinner parties. for should they find
nothing to say to each other they can
take themselves off elsewhere to an
other part of the room or anoth

those to whom they have something to
say. At a dinner party there is no such
escape; they must sit out the dinner, be-
