Kismet Is an Arabic word meaning
"fate," or ut is fated." A belief in
predestination is one Of the funda-
mental principles In the Mohammedan
faith. Not only mans fortune. but
his deeds, and consequently his future
reward or punishment are. according
to this faith, irrevocably, and thus un-
avoidably. pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success Of Islam by inspiring its cham
pions with the greatest contempt for
the dangers of warfare. When Mo-
hammedan meets with any disaster or
misfortune. no matter how great, he
accepts the situation calmly, merely
saying, "Kismet"-"it is fated."

Americans Odd Craze.

Some Americans have an odd craze
for believing that the rightful heirs Of
British peerages are Americans kept
out of their own" One Of these queer
people asks me whether Jemima, the
heiress Of the Macdougal line of Earls
of Tobermory, was not really daugh-
ter of Queen Mary? Was not James
VI. a son Of fat old Lady Reres, not
Of Queen Mary? The present Duke Of
Tobermory is descended from the fifth
son of the earl of 1715. But what be-
came of the fourth son? The peerages
say that he died young without Off
spring. But did he not escape to
America" and is he not the Thomas
Robertson who married fair colonist
in 1870, and is not a certain Robert
Thompson the son of this Thomas Rob-
ertson, and are not his descendants
earls of Tobermory and kings Of Scot
land? Will not get at the family pa
pers, now kept in MelrOse abbey. and
clear the matter up? The names / here
alter, but all this tissue of nonsense is
solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes
in the hope that some possible j. P.
Robertson is Duke of Tobermory.-

was not only fond of good horse,

was raised. A meeting for the dis

directors suggested that some of the

WhY Popcorn Pops.

"What makes popcorn pop?" asks
the inquisitive youngster. By the
evasive replies he receives it is evi-
dent that the real reason is not gen.
orally known. The different kinds
of corn contain oil in varying pro-
portions. In popcorn there is a
considerable amount This expands
when heated, becomes explosive and
causes the kernels to pop open. In
common corn the percentage of oil
is small, and for this reason it only
cracks, without exploding, when
heated, says Good Housekeeping.
Popcorn is inexpensive and nutri-
tious as well if not used to overin-
diligence.

THE HOMELY MAN.
There Is a Difference Between Him
Here and In England.

"The different use of the same
words in England and America, :"
said the returned tourist, is some
times amusing, sometimes bewilder-
ing, and occasionally, as [ have
found it, embarrassing. During my
sojourn in the British isles I found
myself one evening in the quaint
old town Of Warwick and very much
in need of a square meal. Not be-
ing familiar with the place, I STEP
ped into drug store, or chemists,
as they call it, to make inquiries.
The proprietor looked me over.
"'Wel1,' he said, if you want no.
tel fare, go up to the Arms, but if
you're looking for a place where a
homely man can get his shilling's
worth go right across the street, in
dicating little restaurant.
"My good looks are not my
strongest point, but I don't know
that [ ever had their absence so
forcibly brought home to meat

regarded my informant with some
interest. Thank you,' I said, and

"The English aren't overquick to
see point, and it took him at least
half a minute to begin to smile.
The relaxation of his countenance
ended in laugh.

tastes. | fancied you were a man
who wanted plain food, and plenty
of it. Homely here means home
loving, substantial folks

understanding, and later, [ am glad
to say, had a satisfactory meal.
But on thinking it over afterward
it impressed itself upon me that
my friend the chemist hadn't ex-
plicitly denied the construction that
I hastily put upon his adjective. >
