HELPING CLARA.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Arithmetic is not Clara's forte. But
this does not trouble her greatly. II
she cannot solve the problems in her
daily lesson her mother can, and Clara
believes that parents who make chill
dren study arithmetic against their
will should be responsible for their
examples. Mrs. Hamilton usually
metic; but not long ago, the Chicago
News says, she came short one prob
lem because Mr.. Bond, the president
of the baking powder company with
which Mr.. Hamilton was connected,
was visiting them and had to be enter
tanned
After dinner that evening Clara's
eyes were so red that her father asked
her If she had got something in them.
NO" said Clara. beginning to cry
again. Mama couldn't get one of
those old examples, and now I'll have
to stay in at recess tomorrow
Don't cryr' exclaimed her father.
''I'll get it for you. Excuse me a min
ute, Bond"
Then he followed Clara from the
room, and went into close session
with the problem.
Mrs. Hamilton and Mr.. Bond dis
cussed every subject under the sun
while they waited for Mr.. Hamilton
to return. At last they heard him in
the adjoining room throw down the
book and declare that the answer in
the back was wrong The man who
wrote the book did not know what he
was about-that was all.
No, papa" piped Clara Teacher
said the answer was right"
Now Mr.. Bond had more than once
in his district school-days been pro-
nounced born mathematician. He
promptly offered to work the problem
for Clara, and the dog-eared arithme-
tic was turned over to him. After a
quarter Of an hour, during which only
his hard breathing disturbed the quiet
Of the room. he announced that the
problem was solved So Clara went
to bed happy.
The next evening, as soon as dinner
was over. Mr.. Bond complacently of
fered to help Clara with her arithme-
tic. giving Mr.. Hamilton at the same
time a sly dig about his inefficiency.
But Clara hung back, and said she
wanted her mamma to help her.
."'Oh, do let Mr. Bond help you! He
can do them so quickIyv exclaimed
Clara's mother
Still Clara shook her head, and when
they continued to urge her, she blurted
out that M. Bond had not worked the
problem right the night before.
why, he had the right answer"
said Clara's mother, in confusion.
Yes, but he didn't do it right" ex-
planned Clara Teacher says we
shouldn't just work for the answer,
but should know the logical steps by
which it is worked. lie worked it
backward"
All eyes sought Mr. Bond. who
meekly confessed the justice of the
blunt accusation.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE.
Secret Is in the Blending of the DIFF
ferent Varieties of Cocoa.

Secret Is in the Blending of the Diff
ferent Varieties of Cocoa.
"A good many people often wonder
what the, difference is between cocoa
and chocolate, but it is simply that CO
Goa is chocolate with the oil extract
ed, = | am told by the vice president Of
large cocoa and chocolate manufac-
turing concern, says writer in the
ST Louis Globe-Democrat
This amounts to considerable, for
one-half of the cocoa bean is composed
of cocoa butter. The sweet chocolate
used on candies and so forth is a mix
ture of cocoa butter, chocolate and
sugar, and 1T is the cocoa butter that
gives it its fine gloss. There are sew
eral processes for manufacturing the
cocoa for drinking purposes, but that
most generally followed is what is cali
ed the pressure method In this it is
placed in small canvas bags, and these
are then placed in a machine, where
they are, subjected to a pressure of
about seventy tons, which sQueezes
every vestige of oil from the cocoa
and leaves only a dry, extremely brit
tie cake, to be subsequently ground
fine and packed In tin cans When
chocolate for eating purposes is manu-
featured, the cocoa is mixed with the
fiavoring compounds and sugar in the
mixing machine and then rolled out in
sheets between huge rollers, making it
solid and firm.
THE secret of making good choco-
late and cocoa is in the blending. One
particular kind of cocoa bean is not
apt to produce good chocolate or cocoa
1t must be blended with other varie-
ties to secure the desired flavor, some
times a half dozen or more different
kinds of cocoa extract being mixed to-
gether for this purpose Every manu-
faeturer has his own method of blend
ing. and guards the secret carefully.
Different blends are also subjected to
differing treatments. Thus one manu-
facturer may finish his blend or store
it in a cold room. while another will
do the same thing with it in a hot
room, and each contends that the re-
suits he achieves are the best, very
naturally"

Portable in winter without kangri
under the clothes. Other writer's have
described this peculiar custom, and a
reference is made to it in the British
encyclopedia.
Recently some valuable additions to
our knowledge of kangri cancer have
been made by DR.. Neve, the head of a
mission stationed at Kashmir. He
proves that the disease is common,
for he refers to nearly 500 cases. These
cases point Individually to local irrita-
repeated burns from
the kangri-as the cause Of the dis
ease. In this respect the subject of
kangri cancer offers nothing new, for
the fact that cancer originates in local
irritation is generally accepted

CAB DRIVER FOR Sc YEARS.

Duke of Wellington and King Edward

Thomas Bond, who is 81 years of
age, is probably the best known cab
man in London. not only among his
fellows. but among the cab-hiring pub
lie, and now, when he has fallen on
evil days, he has given an example of
unselfishness which it would be diff
cult to surpass.
In August last. being then so years
of age, and still driving, he headed the
poll for pension of EGO year grant

with pleurisy and pneumonia. Fer

Ing. He is now slowly recovering.
and, with true British pluck, hopes
to be soon on his box again.
The strong probability, however. is
that Bonds cab-driving days are over.
Bond took out his first license in
March. 1910, as an omnibus driver. be-
ing then IL years old. He started cab
driving In 1S4S, so that he has been
diving cab In the streets OF London
for SO years. and during the whole of

BURNS THAT CAUSE CANCER
Explanation of the Prevalence OF tt
Malady Among Natives of Kashmir.

Exclamation of the Prevalence OF the
Malady Among Natives of Kashmir.
Jonathan Hutchinson, during his re-
cent trip TO India, made some interest
ing observations on disease, and he
comments upon them In his usual in
teresting way. In the Polytechnic ap-
pears an editorial on fhe cause of
cancer. which. II we mistake not. is
from NJ. Hutchinson's pen, for 1t has
all the earmarks of his style and &C
mis- turn OF thought. The writer Of the
editorial calls attention to the peculiar
form of cancer that prevails in Kash-
mir-the yale Of Cashmere Of the
poets. This variety Of cancer is an
epithoIioma, which Is not peculiar in
historical sense, but is merely OF
peculiar origin. The site of the growth
is either the abdomen or the inside OF
the thigh. OF twenty cases reported

eral and marked characteristic the slope
of shoulder that all winter was deemed
so essential, and fainter touches of the
bygone day are noticeable here and there.
Capes are as varied as anybody could
wish. Some are sufficient to guard
against fairly cold weather, and then
there are the brief sorts that in severe
weather deserve the name of elbow
chillers." Pelerine shapes are numerous,
and circular ones abound, both in plain
and highly ornamented sorts. The long
stole is n feature of a great many of
them. Silk, ribbon. lace chiffon and
flowers enter into these ends, and may
also appear in the trimming of the gar
ment itself For the latter purpose there
is abundant employment of ruchings and
rulings, the really ornate cape often
disclosing very little of its plain mate
rial, so lavish is the trimming. Indeed,
half the little wraps of dressy character

yoile showed because of the elaborate
trimming of passementerie and silk en-

are either black or white, but colored
ones matching the gowns with which
they are to be worn will be many.
Among the coats are few tight-it-
ting models, and while these are far
outnumbered by loose coats, they make
such an impression for jauntiness that
they are pretty sure to increase in favor
A more striking and general feature of
coats is their shortness. Some of them
show almost as much area of girdle as
they do of coat Loose coats pleated or
shirred into yokes are many, and the
models that are loose front and back
and that reach to the waist line are plen-
tiful. The glimpses had of girdles through
the shortness of so many coats consti-
tute one of the chief differences between
the coming styles and those OF year
ago. As a result of this fact there is
much variety in belts and many sorts

In this respect is unusually wide. Sug-
gestiye of the choice held out to shop
pers were the gowns sketched for the
accompanying pictures. The princess
gown of the first large picture was brown
panne velvet fecked with white, Russian
lace and velvet medallions trimming it,
A heavily embroidered pongee in nat
ural color was the next model, and such
are to be many for summer. Last of
these three was plain blue panne velvet
skirt, with fancy jacket of Renaissance
lace First in the next group is a fancy
waist of crepe de chine in blue. with eli
broidered collar and black velvet ribbon
for establishment. The gowns here, be-
ginning at the left, were gray. in wolfe
heavily trimmed with hand en- broidery:
leaf green, in soft silk set off v it'll white
Irish lace, and biscuit colo, for yoile
that had embroidery of gold beads and
spangles, narrow black velvet ribbon ap-
pearing as indicated. The natural color
or pongee promises to have especial
favor, and in model dresses receives the
most elaborate trimming.
Length of line is sought for in the new
styles, and yet there is favor for hori-
zontal trimmings that is the despair of
short women and even of those who are
reasonably tall, If at all inclined to flesh.
For the latter skirts encircled with many
rows Of trimming are not the desirable
thing, yet by adhering to this rule big
share Of the available fancies will be
excised. But there are vertical lines
in good standing, and these should be
taken advantage Of Many forms of
pleated skirts are very helpful. They
are stylish, too, and quite as pretty as
some OF the arrangements that are so
cruel to plump wearers. Having become
convinced of the truth of this, some WON
en- surely are going to select a genuinely
becoming skirt, with no trimming to cut
them up into sections and take away the
height they already lack, and then put
with it bodice in horizontal treatment.
Now it is impossible to state point blank
