PEANUT Meal Bread,

Peanut meal has been for long
time a staple article in the dietary
OF the poor classes in Spain. Bread
made from pure peanut meal Is light
and porous, but it is said to be I'M
palatable because of persistent, pop
pylike taste. Rye bread containing %
per cent of peanut meal cannot be dis
tlnguished from ordinary rye bread,
while far more nutritious. Skim milk
cheese is the only ordinary article Of
diet comparable to peanut meal in its
percentage of heterogeneous matter.

The Way This Name For the Stars and
Stripes Originated.
The term "Old Glory" used to desig-
nate the flag of our country, is favor
lite, and the expression is very happy
one.
1t is said by those who claim to be
well informed that the name original
ed with William Driver, captain of the
bark Charles Doggett. This statement
appears in history of the Driver
family, and from this we find the fol-
lowing facts:
Driver was a successful deep sea
sailor and was at the time making his
vessel ready for voyage to the south
ern Pacific In 1881, just as the brig
was about to set sail, young man at
the head of party of the captains
friends saluted Driver on the deck of
the Doggett and presented to him a
handsome American flag 10 by 3S feet
In size. The banner was done up in
stops, and when it went aloft and was
flung to the breeze Captain Driver,
says the tradition, then and .there
named 1t ''Old Glory" The flag was
carried to the south seas and ever aft
erward treasured by its owner.
Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn,
in 1887 and there died in 1886. Before
the outbreak of hostilities between the
north and south Old Glory few daily

war became facts it was carefully Sc

When the war broke out the precious
flag was quilted into an innocent look

THEY GAVE THE BALLS.

And the People Danced to Pay the
Debts of Louis XIV.
In 1872 Louis XIV. favored the
opera, then established in the first
sale of the Palais Royal there have
been twO), with special mansion for
the better accommodation of its adj
ministration, archives and rehearsals.
This hotel is situated in the Rue
Nicaise. The building was generally
designated under the name of Maya
STA, whence the term Files du Maya
sin {not de magasin), which was applied
not only to the female choristers and
supers, but to the female dancers them
selves. 1t so happened that the king
forgot to pay his architects and work
men. In order to satisfy them the
Chevalier de BouiIlon conceived the
idea of giving balls in the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension Of 5000 francs He
was paid, but the kings debtors were
not, for, although the letters patent
were granted somewhere about the
beginning of 1T13, not single ball
had been given when the most mag
nificent of the Bourbon sovereigns de-
scended to his grave.
One day shortly after his death
d'Argenson, the then lieutenant of
police, was talking to Louis nephew.

go about yelling that his majesty of

answer. "Those people must be paid,
and then they'll cease to below"
But how, monsignoreT Lets give

A FeIictous Aside.

A senator, describing a campaign
wherein he had outgeneraled rival,
said:
when 1t became plain that victory
was mine, when my opponents face
began to grow darker and more for
bidding, smiled to myself. l could
have muttered to myself some such
felicitous aside as that which came
from the small boy who was being
spanked. In the course of his spank
ing the boys mother paused to say in
sincere tones:

than it does you
"And thereupon in his odd, face
downward position the boy winked
and muttered to himself:

A writer of the London Taller has

disappoints the visitor to Edinburgh,
and that is complete absence of kits,
or, rather, the absence of Scotsmen in

Too Much to Expect.

father of Nine. Nordica, was for many
years a picturesque figure among the
Methodist ministers in the state OF
Maine. He was good deal Of wag,

one time, having gone to Lewiston to
attend quarterly meeting, he was ap-
preached in the street by several young
men who were evidently out for good

In 1926 Kean was offered $4,000 a

AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.
The Saber Toothed Tiger Was a For-
midable Creature.

Enidable Creature.
The most remarkable Of all the ex-
Ginct feline animals are those known
to naturalists as the saber toothed
cats or tigers, group comprising the
greater part of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the earliest times of
which we know anything about the
family In North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaneously with the
hairy mammoth, as evidenced by the
cOmmingling of their skeletons. There
can be little or no question but that
the hairy mammoth was contempora
neous with man in North America
as well as in Europe. Its geological
range is from the close of the eocene
to the latter part Of the pleistocene.
The chief popularity of the animal
1s the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail Is of unusual length
and the legs are short. The animal
measures about seven feet in length
aside from the tail. The lower jaws
have downward projection in front.
due to q flangelike widening of the
jawbones, which doubtless served as a
protection to the teeth, preventing their
injury or loss. In some of the larger
forms from South America this fiange
was not present, while the canine
teeth were even more elongated than
is the case with this species, attaining
a length of over six inches and pro-
truding far below the jaws when
closed.
