Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming.
An apocryphal book called the LESS
er Genesis and we'll known to the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
full incident in the life of Seth, the
third son of Adam and Eve. When
the goodly Seth was about forty years
Of age, he was ''rapt'' up into heaven
by trio Of angels and there told and
shown what was in store for mankind.
Among other things, the coming of the
great deluge was made known to him,
as was also the coming Of the Saviour.
When he returned to earth, Seth told
his parents what had happened and Of
what he had seen and heard concern
Ing the future Of the human race. s.And
Adam was much grieved when 1t, was
made known 10 him that he d.
would be destroyed by water on ac-
count of the wickedness Of his own
children, but great peace and calm
ness came over him when Seth told
how the face Of the earth would again
lbe repeopled. His Joy was ex-
sssedingly great when Seth related
what was In store In the coming ages.
and he was particularly glad to know
that redemption should finally come
through Jesus, the Christ"

Why Popcorn Pops.

"What makes popcorn pop?" asks
the inquisitive youngster. By the
evasive replies he receives it is evil
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.

By ALBERT HIGGINS

b IF was Grandma Foster who was to
blame for it. She came on visit to
her daughter, Farmer Stebbins' wife,
and found her niece Hattie teaching
the district school and engaged to be
married to worthy young man named
Hiram Ball. Miss Hattie was fairly
educated, fairly good looking and very
well contented with her life.
Grandma's coming, however, started
the fires of ambition Once during her
I long life the old lady. had attended a
theatrical performance. 1t was in the
town hall of her native village. The
play was uncle Toms Cabin" of
course, and the company was made up
of transformers, but it was great
play, and it made grandma, who was
only a little girl then, thrill from top
to toe.
Soon after her arrival at the Steb-
binSes Hattie walked across the veran-
da in a way that made the old lady
exclaim:
'EBless my soul if that don't remind
me of Ophelia in Uncle Toms Cabinv
You've got her walk to perfection.
Child, have you been practicing for the
stage?"
NO grandma"
s'But the way you just turned around,
your looking back at me with your
head over your shoulder, your smile,
the way you stick up your chin, all re-
mind me of Ophelia. You could step
right on the stage and play the charac-
ter"
That was the beginning Grandma
announced her great discovery to her
sister and brother-in-law and advised
them to put Hattie on the stage at
once; but, meeting with decided oppo-
sition, she said nothing further to
them. Many were the councils held
between her and the niece, however.
It had been forty-two years since
grandma had seen the historic play
and what she couldn't remember she
imagined Within a week she had de-
cided that Hattie could not only play
the part of Ophelia, but of little Eva,

-Legree, Marks and even of Uncle Ton,
himself. She couldn't fail to be the
whole show, and in four weeks she
would rise from "Uncle Toms Cabin
to Shakespearean plays. The old lady
believed what she said, and the young
lady believed with her. Hiram Ball
tried his best to open his fiancee's eyes.
''Your grandmother is a fOolv' was
his blunt way of putting it. Because
you can smile and giggle is no sign
that you would make great actress.
You just give up the idea and settle
down and behave yourself"
.'Mr. Ball, I permit no one to speak
disrespectfully of my grandmother in
my presence" replied the young lady,
with freezing dignity, as she took three
strides to the east and then turned
about and took three strides to the
west.
"Hattie Stebbins, don't make a jay
any more than I'll be Cicero. 1t hain't
in u.s.
"Speak for yourself, Mr.. Ball. My
resolution is taken. 1t is irrevocable
Nothing that you can say will shake
me in the least Destiny calls me-"
"What, do you mean to tell me that
you are going to be silly enough to go
on the stageY he shouted.
Remember whom you are address
ing, varlet!" she warned as she drew
herself up.
"By gum, but you have gone crazy!
That old grandmother of yours ought
to be ducked in the goose pond. What
does she know about actingw
Enough, sir! Here our paths di-
verge. From this hour we are stran-
gers"
"Then go right along and make a
fool of yourselfw called Hiram as she
turned away.

Spain's Bljthe YOUNG Kinu,

journal as very impulsive, and at the

make royal progress through his
kingdom in an automobile. Horror Of
the Prime Minister! Such a vehicle,
says he, is beneath the dignity of
monarch to whom the constitution has
intrusted the "sumptuous car OF the
state The sumptuous car must not
be driven by petrol. Horses are still
harnessed to the chariot of the sun.
But Spanis., etiquette does not prevent
the monarch from travelling by rail-
way. Lady Currie tells a story of
young man who jumped into a COM

and started conversation with an
old lady who greatly admired his pleas

Music as a Remedy in Medicine.

Following the reading of a paper on
Music as a Therapeutic Agent" by
DR.. Francis S. Kennedy before the
Medical Society of the County of
Kings, two methods of administration
were demonstrated, one by the piano
and the other by the voice. and an en-
deavor made by each method to illus
trate the different impressions which
could be conveyed to the listener.
Just as drug should be put up in a
clean package, and as free from aGul-
teration as possible. so music as a
medicine should be as free from error
of technique as possible. For this
reason, in demonstrating the piano
music, a mechanical piano player was
used, so that no false tone should mar
the harmony and effect.
The following examples were then
rendered: AS restful music, yet suffi-
GENTLY stimulating to keep the mind
alert. the Fifth Nocturne, Leybach.

Starch Composition Substituted for

manufacture OF lead pencils, is rath-

Cured not long ago to an ingenious
German to use potato starch. suitably

pencils. The ingredients which be

I consular report eclanating from

that a company has been formed to

the account sent to Washington says
that he has himself seen the new pro

old pencils, they are little heavier.

boX-work formation clinging to the

Put the Blame Where it BELONGS.

Shakespeare saw life in large, and
wrote as he saw it. He never
blamed it onto God" His pages are
full of the memorable sequence Of
cause and effect, and the swift march
Of deeds points the moral Of individu-
al responsibility. If things were rot
ten in Denmark" it was because the
fathers had eaten sour grapes and
the children's teeth were set on edge;
il Macbeth trembled at the knocking
at the gate it was because conscience
doth make towards of US all. The
ghosts that haunted BosWorth Field
were of Richards own creating; and
Regain and Goneril, desperately dead,
reap their ievitable due. In short,
Shakespeare's message is the message
Of a robust manhood and womanhood:
Brace up, pay for what YOU have, do
good if you wish to get good; good
or bad, shoulder the burden OF your
