HISTORY OF STARCH.
originated in Flanders and Was In
troduced Into England in Queen
EIizabeth's Time.

"a package of starch?" asked the
intelligent and learned grocer; and
as he wrapped the package up he
talked, says the Philadelphia Record
Starch originated" he said, Sin
Flanders. 1t was introduced into
England, with the big ruff, in the
time of Queen Elizabeth. 1t was like
our starch of to-day, except that il
was made in colors-red, yellow
green, blue. The effect of this was
to tint delicately the white linen to
which the starch might be applied.
Before Queen Elizabeth's time
ruffies and ruffs were made of fine
Holland, which required no stiffen-
ing. Then the ruffs of cambria came,
and these must Of necessity be
starched."
The grocer, consulting his mem
orandum book, resumed:
1T is recorded that when the
queen had ruffs made of lawn and
cambria for her own princely wear
ing there was none in England could
tell how to starch them; but the
queen made special means for some
women that could starch, and Mrs.
Guilham, wife of the royal coach
mon, was the first starcher.'
I'm 1864 a Flanders woman, Frau
Van der Plasse, came to London and
established there a school for the
teaching of starching. The school
succeeded. The Flanders frau got
rich. She charged SIS lesson, and
extra 20 shillings for a recipe for the
making of starch out of wheat flour,
bran and roots.
"Yellow was the most fashionable
color in starch among the nobility.
The fast, racing set went in for
green. The Puritans used blue
starch, though at first they had
been against the stuff altogether.
clubbing it: "A certaine kinde of
iquide matter which they call starch,
wherein the devil hath willed them
to wash and dive their ruffes, which,
when they be dry, will then stand
stiffe and inflexible about their
necks'
starch is made from wheat, corn
and potatoes, and starving men have
often subsisted on it, finding it
nourishing, though not tasty"

PHASES OF HUMAN NATURE
illustrated by the Actions of Some
Persons Concerned in the
Fuel Famine.

1t is when the waters of life are
troubled that human nature come:
to the surface. Habits of comfort
and politeness hide it, and the face
which one man turns to the worlC
is not very different from that which
his neighbor shows. But events like
the fuel famine bring out the reaI
man, says Youths Companion.
"A wealthy woman came to me the
other day." said coal dealer, with
the statement that she must have
some coal. [ thought it was an
emergency case, and promised to
send her little at once. When ]
reached her house 1 found she still
had more than ton on hand.
knew so many cases which were
more urgent that I lost my temper
and told the woman she was selfish
VI course she was very angry" The
woman has always been known as a
gracious, charitable person, given to
good works, and the dealer as a DO.
lite man with no very pronounced
opinions.
One dealer in New England city
has faithfully fulfilled every contract
made last spring, although much of
the time he has had to pay nearly
twice as much for his coal as he re-
ceived for it.. His largest competitor,
on the other hand, has repudiated all
his contracts and supplied his GUS
toners only at the ruling price. Both
men have simply revealed themselves.
The same contrasts show them
selves at the mines and along the
routes of transportation. One opera
tor sells at rate but little in ad-
vance of the price before the strike.
another charges double the old fig
ure. Some railroads and some YES
sel-owners have increased their
freights, others have kept them un-
changed. Men of means have seized
the opportunity for speculation:
other men of means have devoted
their time and money to the work of
procuring fuel for the needy at cost.
what physician brings to the
practice of medicine" said wise
old doctor, sis what he himself is as
man." So it is with life in GEN
eral, and events which strip awav
the garb of conventionality are not
wholly calamitous.

A Question of Eating

Some small men consume more food
than large ones. The result must de-
pend upon a great variety of circum-
stances. 1t may be said generally that
there is no reason for asserting that u
big man consumes or requires more
food than a small one. 1t is of course
evident that any person in good health
and in healthy climate, doing a large
amount of physical and mental work,
requires more sustenance than one
who under the same conditions passes
a sedentary and inactive existence.
The proportion of vital force which
goes toward carrying on the work of
the body is so much larger than that
which is used in merely building up its
frame that there is no comparison be-
tween the two.
A small steam engine, working at
high pressure and running lot of ma
chinery all day, may be doing double
the work and therefore consuming
twice as much fuel as a big one at half
the pressure and working slowly. So
it will be seen that the amount of food
required should really depend chiefly
upon the amount of work done, but
habit has so much to do with this mat
ter that it is impossible to formulate
any precise rules.

A NAVAL BULLY.
OverawfnE POmpOsity of Gold
Laced AutOcrat of the Quarter
Deck to a Mere Man.

One day, perceiving a man-of-war in
port, and fine-looking officer on the
quarterback walking to and fro under
an awning, l ventured on board, and
accosted him, with all due respect, as
/ thought then, and as I still believe,
relates ]. T. Trowbridge, in At
lantic. I have quite forgotten
what I was starting to say, but
1 remember well the curt COM
mand that cut me short: "Take off your
hat when you address a gentleman!"
uttered without discontinuing his
walk, or turning his face, which he
carried straight before him.
If he had hurled pinnacle at me, or
a bow-anchor, or anything else naval
and characteristic, 1 couldn't have
been more astounded. AS he wore his
own cap handsomely gold-laced, as I
see him in my minds eye stilD, and
we were in the open air but for the
awning, I couldn't possibly see how 1
had merited so brutal a rebuff.
stared at him moment, sitting with
astonishment and humiliation, and in
dignant enough to hurl back at him
anything in his own line, capstan or
a forecastle-I was too angry to make
a discriminating choice. Fortunately
I had sense enough left to reflect that
he was in his own little kingdom, and
that if I wasn't pleased with the man
ners and customs of the country the
sooner l took myself out of it the bet
ter. I turned my back on him abrupt
ly and left the ship, choking down my
wrath, but thinking intently (too late,
as was my habit) of the killingly sar-
castle retort I might have made.
Thus was quenched in me the last
Pickering ember of inclination for a
seafaring life.

"LunnOn" Likes It ",Ot.o

1t may be that the quality of imagi-
nation was lacking in the Boston and
Salem merchants, who attempted, in
1912, to introduce American ice into
London. One of them tried to attain
this end by demonstrating the merits
of American iced drinks. He hired a
hall-as the story goes-and trained
n number of men to mix the cool bey-
erages of his native land. The men,
bers of the Fishmongers' association
presumably as fond of turtle as alder
men themselves-were the guests. The
walters made an imposing entry-but
alas! the first sound that met the ear
of the American promoter" expecting
a chorus of approval, was that of an
English voice calling for hot water, and
saying: 81 prefer it, all in ALL" The
American completes the story: 81

THEY SEE NO GHOSTS.
Men Who Work in Cemeteries Are
Not SupeTstitiOus Regarding
the Dead.

There is little or no superstition
among the grave diggers in Chicago
cemeteries. AT least that is the opin-
ion of the officials and sections of these
Institutions. They say that the grave
diggers have genuine belief in spirits,
as is attested by the large number of
saloons found in the vicinity of every
cemetery, but that otherwise the Chi
cago grave digger has less supernatural
ideas than has the granite used in the
tombstones, says the Chicago Tribune.
MY men dig a grave just like they
would dig hole in the ground for a
street water pipe or dead dog" said
one superintendent. 81 met one of
them yesterday, and asked him 'How's
business?' He said Fine to-day, zur.
he'd nine big ones and fiveleetle ones.'
That's the way he looks at it. Merely
matter of business, with no senti-
ment anywhere about it,"
Down In the country, where one man
has for many years the sole charge of
graveyard, the loneliness and soli-
tude of his position often breeds, after
a few years, strange notions and be-
liefs. But in Chicago many of the
grave diggers are men with no imag-
lnat1on and unable to understand or
appreciate any of the traditions con-
nected with graveyards. Solitude has
no chance to weave it's spell about him,
because the Chicago cemetery is sur
rounded by the bustling, busy city.
Besides this they do not remain as long
at their employment as do the sections
and grave diggers in the small towns
They are laborers who are employed
according to the demands of thelceme-
terry association for their work. At
other times they are employed as ditch
d1ggers or in laying water or gas mains
and all digging is the same to them,
whether the hole they make in the
ground is to be occupied by gaspipe
or dead body. They commence work
with the whistle and knock off at five
o'clock in the evening, and they have
proven how far apart they are from
the traditions of their calling by
organizing a union and going on strike
when dissatisfied.
"The men employed around Chicago
graveyards are not superstitious,"
said an official of Rosehill cemetery.
IF they were they wouldn't last long.
There are none of the conditions pre-
vailing here to bring about the state
of mind which breeds fears and phan-
toms. It's simply business all the
way through"

said to himself he had never loved till
now, and, like all men under like Cir
cumstances, he believed himself. He
sought the acquaintance of Feliciana,
the beautiful. Courtships progress rap
idly under tropic skies, particularly
among Filipinos. A month before holy
week Prudencio obtained from Felici-
ana's sweet, betel nut red lips the
promise that she would be his bride on
Easter Monday.
He went to Don Edouardo and said
he humbly kissed his feet and might he
speak? He made his petition after Don
Edouardo had eaten the pair of eggs
passed through water which constitut-
I'd his breakfast.
''Senor, most excellent, my holy week
shirt" said Prudencio, with head low
bowed. "It is now a month before
Easter. 1 have no money to buy my
holy week shirt"
The Tagalo who saves money is as
rare as the man who does not tell lie.
Don Edouardo understood. AS each
February rolled round he was beset by
his menservants to advance them a
months wages to buy what to them
