Buffalo Calves.

Buffalo calves, as a rule, are born
in April and May. They are active,
vigorous little creatures, mild eyed as
domestic calves, but possessing much
greater strength and endurance. In a
few seconds after birth they can get
on their feet, and in twenty minutes
they are fit to fight for their lives.
Usually it is unnecessary for them to
defend themselves at this tender age
as buffalo COW is, quite capable of at
tending to any business which may
arise in connection with the defense of
her precious baby.-Washingt Star.

houses built without hands for our
souls to live in-these things are not
for earth alone; they are a part of the
treasure that may be sent over.

Characteristics of Potato.

The potato is starchy food that
contains enough moisture in its compo-
sition to cook the starch This mois-
ture is in the form of a watery Juice.
in which is dissolved the nitrogenous
matter, the various salts, sugar, gum.
etc. The starch cells are surrounded
and penetrated by this watery bath
In cooking the heterogeneous juice is X
agnlated, In part at least, by the heat,
the starch granules burst and the
starch absorbs the watery part of the
Juice. When this stage is reached, il
the moisture has been in the right pro-
portion. all parts of tn potato will pre-
sent a light, dry, glistening appear
ance. Every one will concade that
such potato will not cause digestive
disturbance
However, the moisture Is not al
ways in the right proportion Rlpe
potatoes and potatoes grown on a
well-drained or sandy SOL will, as a
rule, be dry and mealy if properly
cooked Potatoes grown in a wet sea-
son or in heavy damp soil as a rule
contain too large a proportion Of mos
ture for the starch Old potatoes
that are allowed to sprut win be
watery probably owing to the with
drawal Of some Of the starch for food
for the growing sprouts Thus the
housewife, if she does her own mar
keting, may be able to select better
potatoes, If she knows from what 10
cality they are shipped. 1t pays to be
familiar with these things. as nothing
is less paIatable or digestible than 1
wet soggy potato.

THE WOMAN IN PINK.

The woman who is in pink this
year is the woman who will be admir-
ed. Your cheeks must be a bright
pink; your fesh must be a faint pink;
the palms OF your hands must be a
ripe pink, and your lips must be
cherry pink. They must be so deep a
pink that if they were any pinker they
would be red.
That is the beginning of the list
this year but there are many others.
When the up-to-date woman dresses
herself she pins a bunch of pink flow
ers in her corsage; when she goes
out she W, ITS pink roses; when she
rests in the hammock she has a bunch
of pink blossoms, and for afternoons
she IS a dream in spicy-smelling car
nations.
1t may be that she is French in her
tendencies, and in that case she wears
a black gown with a touch Of pink
somewhere. Pink and black are effect

Are the Elements Transnnutable?

The hottest stars consist almost ex-
clusiyely of the very light gases, by
drogen, helium, and a gas called as,
terium," which is so far unknown or
earth, writes Prof r. A. Millikan ii
Technical World Magazine. In the
stars Of somewhat lower temperature.
there begin to appear some of the
heavier elements. like calcium and
iron; and in the coolest stars, we
find nearly all the elements which ex
list on the earth. In other words, as n
general rule, as the temperature de-
creases, the elements put in their ap.
approximately, at least--in
the order of their atomic weights.
Since, hen, a star which is very HOT
has but few elements and since more
and more appear as it grows cold, is
not the evidence Of modern astronomy
at least as strong as the evidence Of
modern chemistry that the heavier ele.
ments have evolved in natures labora-
tory from the lighter In other words
that the elements are indeed trans
mutable?

REMARKS FROM THE PIP.

She's taught me that mustn't bark
At little noises after dark.
But just refrain from an fuss
Until I'm sure they're dangerous.
This would be easier We felt,
If noises could be seen or smelt
She's very wise, have no doubt,
And plans ahead what she's about;
Yet after eating every day.
She throws her nice zones away.
If she were really less obtuse
Shed bury them for future use.
But that which makes me doubt the
most
Those higher powers that humans
boast
Is not so much fault like that,
Nor yet her fondness for the cat.
But on our pleasant country strolls
Her dull Indifference to holes!
Oh, if l once had time to spend
To reach hvie's EXTREMIST end,
III grab it fast, without a doubt
and promptly pull it inside out;
Then drag it home with all my power
To chew on it in leisure hour.
OF all the mistresses there are
Mine is the lovelest by far
Fain would / wag myself apart
If | could thus reveal my heart.
But on some things, | must conclude,
Mine is the saner attitude.

But the learned mandarin, Yent-Se,
struck up the emperors sword saying:
