THREE HOT SLIPPERS THAT ARE

Desirable One Hot Dish Should Be Provided.
By CORNELIA c. BEDFORD.

II happens in many homes that mid
day dinner and supper al night is, for
one reason Or another. a more con-
venient and desirable arrangement than
an evening dinner When this is the
case at least one hot dish s,Ould be

advisable both because our vitality

the fact that cold meal requires "A

a greater variety may appear at one

Scientific Rubber Production.

The production of rubber from the
Ficus Elastica in Upper Burma, AS
sam, and the Netherlands. is being
rapidly increased. The seed of the
Ficus Elastica, when the tree grows
naturally in the forest, terminates al
most invariably in the forks of trees
thirty to forty feet above the surface
of the ground, and the young trees
grow in consequence for some six to
ten years as epiphytes. after which the
aerial roots reach the ground, and in
crease in size until some of them
reach girth of from four to six feet
1t frequently happens that the trees
on which the rubber seeding first ger
minated is killed by the more vigorous
growing Ficus Elastica.

Hard Course of Irue Love.

One time the aged duke of Savoy
king of Cyprus and Jerusalem. was in
love with the beautiful young Nine. de
Valentinois, who had an estate at Mo-
naco. Says Nine. de Crequy: He
often came to Monaco. without sound
Of trumpet or drum. so as to give her
,n agreeable surprise. Nine. de Val
ertinois did not care in the least for
her neighbor. who. moreover, was a
septuagenarian and humpbacked as a
sack of nuts. In order to put stop
to lis visits she used to have his
movements watched, and directly he
passed her frontier he was saluted
rom all her batteries. Twenty-one
guns was the precise number. sufficient
to proclaim for miles around that his
grace was taking an outing"

Major Mansell-Pleydell. 1t used to be

his bungalow. The major had meth
cd of running up bills with local
tradesmen, but there was great diff
Guilty in getting payment, as none of
the bill collectors was venturesome
enough to cross the guardian at the
door. 1t was a great joke of the
majors when asked to pay his bill
to reply: Have you sent your bill?
Your man has never presented it at
my house Brutus, as the tiger was
named. seemed to know what was re-
quired of him., When chained before
his masters door he would lie with
his head between his forepaws and
watch the gate. If stranger entered
he would lift his head and breathe
heavily. and this was enough to
scare the most venturesome of bill

Children Still,

We seek no more daily prize,
Nor triumph in our dreams.
So changed the lustre of the skies,
So faint and few the CLEANS
Yet comes anew. when others play,
That unforgotteu thrill,
And are we dull and old to-day,
Or only children still?
We loved the battle once, but now
We nre not overboid.
There's wisdom on the weary brow
And In our hearts the cold
Yet In the light of eager eyes
We lose the wintry chill,
And then we are not overwise, 10
But simple children still
The visions of our glorious youth
Have faded long ago;
We hope no more to find the truth,
And should we care TO know
Not ours to scale the viewless height,
But there's purple hill.
And still we gladden. at the sight
And climb as children still
How much OF all the good we planned
Is perfect or begun?
Who watched the lifting of Gods hand,
And waits for his well done?
But when the children whom we lovs
The good we missed fulfill.
Thank God our hearts prevail to prove
The hearts OF children still.

The tree bears fruit in its sixth year
and yields from So to 22O pounds of

Experience Traveller Can Have in
Hawaii and Darjeeling.

There are two places in the world
where a person can pass through the
tropical subtropical. and temperate
zones inside of an hour. Hawaii is
one and Darjeeling. in northeastern
India. Z. another. In both these
places the trick is done by climbing
up the high mountains.
In Hawaii the traveller starts with
the warm breath of the Pacific fan
ming him amid the smell of palm
trees. He passes by great clusters
of tropical fruit and as he mounts
the trees change until he is in the
kind of scenery that may be found
in the southern United States. Still
he climbs. and soon he notices that
it is much cooler and that the char
acter of the scene has changed to
one that reminds I'm of the. temper
ate zone, with fields in which potatoes
and other northern vegetables are
growing.
