Sidney Smith, when he said "My
idea of heaven is eating foie gras to
the sound of trumpets," probably
never had the experience of Spanish
breakfast. In fact, no one without
this experience could have his natural
prejudice to Spanish cooking over

The memory Of breakfast in Lima,
Peru, or in Valparaiso. Chile, in real
Spanish home, will sharpen the appe.
tite of anyone who has ever enjoyed
it, and senorta Of real Castillian
type is especially charming at the ia
BILE, especially so when with her dain-
ty fingers she picks up a sweet morsel
of food and puts it to a guests mouth.
And a guest would hardly invite
criticism if he made so bold as to kiss
the tips of the fingers for so great a
compliment, although strictly fas-
tidious person might not approved it
as the highest form of table etiquette.
Breakfast is not served till II
o'clock, and as one takes his seat at
the table the senoras and senoritas
are present in their white gowns,
with their long black hair hanging in
two loose plaits down their backs.
Greetings are exchanged, and then
breakfast begins. First, soup, called
chupe, which is made of a kind of
crab, is served. Then comes fruit.
The next course is broiled carbina,
which resembles fresh mackerel.

Can Docs Think?

DR.. Alexander Hill, master of Down
ing College, Cambridge, England has
been trying to solve experimentally
the problem, Can dogs reason?" An
exceptionally intelligent fox terrier
was taught to open box, by lifting the
wooden latch of its door with his nose,
and whenever onlookers were present
he did this regularly. In his absence
hot grilled bone was placed in the
box. Arriving on the scene the terrier
smelt all around the box, seeming to
know that it contained meat, and evil
IDENTIFY eager to get it. His previous
training, however, was without effect.
THE way to secure the meat is to

Five Rubs All You Are Allowed.

Five Rubs All You Are Allowed.
A simple but amusing little trick is
TO rub out twenty marks in five rubs,
stopping every time on an odd num-
Der
This little diversion is particularly
suited to recess time at school, where
the blackboard Is handy, but it may
also be done on a slate.
First, you make row of marks, one
'ander the other, and number them, as
shown in the accompanying picture.
Then you challenge those who are
watching you to do the rubbing as
has been said, letting an odd number
be the last one every time, five rubs
10 complete the task.
Now, unless you have somebody in
the company who is wide awake and
quick witted, they will all begin to
calculate how in the world they can
begin at the top and succeed in doing
what you have proposed. Some boy,
perhaps will take up the eraser, and
confidently rub out the first marks,
stopping on five, for that is an odd
number, he will say, and therefore all
right. Then he will begin to get puz-
: zled for the next five marks will take
him to ten, which is not an odd num-
Der, and he will try to find way out
of the difficulty.
Perhaps he may give it up in des-
pair, and then some one else will try
It, only to give it up likewise.
But see how simple it is! No one
