Oh, the Whale Dairy Mafdsl

do you keep a whaley,. some fair
visitor may inquire next century as
she pours the cream over some newly
concocted breakfast food A practical
minded professor up along the Cana
dian coast has learned the art of milk
ing the whale and declares this dairy
product to be as nutritious and as pal
atable as the milk of the reflective
COW, and further to possess medicinal
qualities quite like those of cod liver
oil. How romantic it will be when
every dweller along the coast will pos
sess his own whale, all properly tagged
and registered, and when at dusk the
milkmaids, chanting their whale-calling
songs, will row out beyond the surf to
drive in the water mammals from their
sea pasture.-Buffalo News.

The Source of Moro History.

The Filipinos are being analyzed,
classified and described by American
ethnologists. MindanaO and Sulu were
conquered in the middle ages by Mo
hammedans, who established a new
form of government and introduced a
written code of laws. Previous to this
there was no written history, but
thenceforth the dattos or chiefs kept
their genealogies, and these, brief
though they be, are the only sources for
Moro history. Prior to the American
acquisition of the islands the tarslla or
genealoges were rigidly kept out of
sight of all foreigners and non -Moham.
medans, but the chronological survey has
been successful in getting copies of
them; these have now Deen translated.
The Moros comprise various tribes,
which widely differ. The language Is
Malayan, but the characters employed
are Arabic, which makes the work of
transliteration difficult.

A West End avenue man undertook

The young woman blushed, the young
man sighed

said. There doesn't seem to be any

A tall girl in brown sat beside the
girl in blue. She got up and glared at
the young man. "She did," said the
girl in brown.
"Oh, Lord" said he. "are you"
Il am" said the girl in brown.
And of course nobody could expect a
girl to be friends with a man after
that.-New York Sun.

Canned BIueberries.

Pick over the berries with care, then
put three quarts of them in granite
or porcelain kettle, with two teacupfuls
of granulated sugar, and wo-thirds of
a cup of water to prevent burning. Let
them boil from five to seven minutes,
or until they have lost their berry look
This amount should fill two quart cans,
but If it should fall a trifle short. hot
water could be added to fill up the last
can. This rule applies also to black
berries, whortleberries or raspberries.
Strawberries require more sugar.

der such close observation that he re.
ceives marks for the ordinary daily
work. One novel feature of the train

work out a problem on a blackboard

that no expense is spared in any way
whatsoever to enable the West Point

There Was an Old Woman, Etc.
A stout little woman on an East
Washington street car looked around
anxiously for seats for the children
who were with her. Two of the older
girls had babies in their arms, accord

on the car did not know whether it
was an orphans home picnic or Sun

ductor, but you have given me only
eight tickets"

she kept her eye ON all other members
of her party.
But there are nine without them,"
said the conductor, apologetically. Per-
haps he really thought the woman had
only eight tickets.
'Stand up, children" commanded the
little woman. She was imperious in
her command and Immediately after
her order to stand up they all arose to
their feet.

cases of headache. This quality in
spires confidence in them and increases
their consumption enormously. The re-

say what caused the heart to fail.
The Human Stomach.-This is the
greatest piece of machinery ever in

The trouble Is with the fellow who
owns the stomach, not with the stom-
ach itself. Given half a chance, a two
quart stomach will outlast a ten-gallon

That the old thing becomes clogged
