Aileghenies in northeastern Pennsyl-
yania. In southern Ohio there are
long belts of Canadian powders
which can be traced to ledges of rock
north of Lake Huron. Even in Boone
county, Kentucky, few miles south
of Cincinnati, number of red jasper
conglomerate powders, some of them
two or three feet in diameter, nave
been found which came from we'll
known lodges in Canada north OF Lake
Huron Bowlders of large size from
these same lodges have also Deeh
found as far southwest as keokuk, Ia.
Bowlders from Wisconsin and Mime
sofa and Dakota abound in northern
Missouri down to the Missouri river,
some having recently been uncovered.
Armed with these facts concerning
the former extent of the SWISS
glaciers, AgassiZ went to Great Brlt-
ain, and came to America, and 1nlt-
ated those Investigations which have
shown the spread of glacial ice over
the areas already mentioned. Scandl-
navian powders cover northern Ger
many, and are found 700 miles south
east at Kief in Russia, found at Tus-
cumbia, 60 miles up the Usage river
which comes down from the Ozark
uplift to the south. They are also
found on the south side of the Kansas
river as far west as Lawrence and To-
peka, while windrows of them are
found in central Dakota which have
been derived from ledges in the VI
cinity of Lake Superior.

TO MAKE GOOD ANGEL CAKE.
Important That the Whites of Eggs
Be in Proper Shape.

Mix seven ounces of fine winter
Hour, one ounce of cornstarch, three
quarters of pound of powdered sugar
and one heaping teaspoon of cream of
tartar, together, and then sift them
five times. Take 11s pint of the
whites of eggs and beat them until
stiff and smooth as possible. Your
cake will be tough and leathery unless
the whites are sufficiently firm to
bear an egg, and the texture very firm
and fine grained. Now stir in the
sifted materials as lightly and quick
ly as possible, using for the purpose
a wire spoon or egg beater. Bake in
an INCREASED Turks head, or, better
still, Van Dusen cake mold, in a mod
crate oven for 35 or 40 minutes.
When done, take it from the oven,
turn the bottom up, allowing the pan
to rest on the table to cool. When
the cake is cold pass a timber knife
around the sides, shake lightly and the
cake will drop out. Ice it with
vanilla, orange or almond soft icing

Sand Bag for Sickroom.

One of the most convenient articles
to be used in a sickroom is sand bag.
Get some clean, fine sand; dry it
thoroughly in a pan on the stove.
Make bag about eight inches square
of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing it in
the oven or even on the top of the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands of sick person with a bottle
of hot water or a brick. The sand
holds the heat a long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with
out hurting the invalid 1t is a good
plan to make two or three of the bags
and keep them on hand, ready for use
at any time when needed.

His Appreciation

When Patrick McGinnagan became
a member of the Chicago police force
last week, a delegation of his friends
burst in upon him while he was at
dinner and presented him with a
handsome night stick in honor of his
popularity and their esteem.
Completely bewildered by this unex.
pected token, the new policeman
nevertheless struggled to his feet and
stammered his appreciation.
"Frinds, ye have upset me wild y'r
Kindness" he said, flourishing the
night stick. "Oi'n try an do me duty

lydia e. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been SO
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any nywOmananydaym may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is SO
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring II
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

Art In Ice Cream Molds.

1t is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the Gus
toners of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for a certain occasion to assume,
and the caterer arranges to have the
idea carried out. In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always favorite. One may
have roses to match the color scheme
of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles, Teddy bears"
and dolls.

Suicides in Natal.

The abnormal suicide wave which
is passing over this country has been
made the subject of very serious
thought, and it is well that it should
be so. In Natal within the past four
weeks there have been three suicides
of Europeans, which. on the basis of
population, is four times greater than
the suicide rate in England and Wales,
a deplorable state of affairs indeed.
In Durham a few weeks ago it was
stated that suicides were taking place
at the rate of one a day.-Natal Wit

Small Girls Hair.

To dress the hair of the baby girl
who is not blessed with curly locks,
take a piece of ribbon just long enough
to reach across top of head from ear
to ear, fasten to each end bow or ro-
sette and a narrow elastic to fit snug
ly around the head beneath the hair.
Brush the hair back or part in mid
die or on side. Place the ribbon on
the head, rosette above each ear.
This will keep the hair in place and
be becoming.

Strawberry Sarabande.

Whip a cupful thick cream until
very stiff, then fold carefully into it
a pint fresh berries cut in small pieces
with silver knife. Have ready a
tablespoonful gelatin soaked in a
quarter cup cold water for half an
hour, then dissolved by setting the
cup containing it in hot water. Add by
degrees 10 the berries and cream,
whipping 1t in so that it will not
string. Add three tablespoonfuls pow
dered sugar and when it stiffens turn
into 4 cold mold and set on the ice.
When ready to serve turn out onto a
pretty dessert platter.

sand and clay were dragged along be-
meath it, furrowing and scratching
and polishing the surface of the rock
to an astonishing degree. Almost
anywhere over this glaciated area the
removal of the soil will reveal
scratched and polished rocks under
meath. The direction of the scratches
and the grooves shows the direction
in which the ice was moving at the
time they were made. This was. in
the main, outward, toward the mar
gin of the glaciated area which we
have described, but there were many
curious variations. In central Ohio
the direction of the glacial scratches
is southeast, whereas on the islands
in the western part of Lake Erie it
is very nearly west. At Logansport,
Ind, extensive grooves and scratches
have been found where the movement
is toward the north. This variation
in the direction of the grooves and
scratches indicates that there were
eddies in the ice, such as are found in
the current of a deep, slow-moving
stream of water. The grooves on the
islands in the western end of Lake
Erie are among the most remarkable
in the world. One groove, in hard
corniferous limestone, was about 20
feet broad and eight feet deep, extend
ing for long distance across Kelley
island. The surface of this groove is
most finely polished, corals and other
fossils being cut off as sharply as
could be done by any graver's tool.

bed OF Lake Erie - evidently due 10
the fact that the depression of this
lake diverted the ice movement ir its
closing stages in the direction of its
longer diameter toward the natural
outlet ON the west.

Pure Pressed Meat.

In preparing pressed chicken or
pressed meat of any kind there need
be no fear of poisoning, as is some
times the case, if two things are OBJ
served: First, never pack it in tin;
porcelain lined pans or crooks are
pest. Second, never cover it while
warm, as that sometimes causes a
poisonous gas to form which is in

of North America and 100000 square
miles in Europe. In Nortk America
the southern border of this ice field
extended into the ocean off the New
England coast, rising like a great ice
wall out of the water, and westward
to a line running through Long Island,
across New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
to Salamanca, n. Y, where it turned
southwestward and, with many minor
variations, reached the Ohio river 80
or so miles above Cincinnati, crossed
Kentucky and southern Indiana, reach
ing it's farthest extent at Carbondale,
ILL., thence northwest, it crossed the
Mississippi river at St Louis, and fol-
lowed the Missouri and Kansas rivers
to Topeka, where it swung northward
across the eastern parts of Kansas
and Nebraska, and through central
Dakota to near the Canada line;
thence proceeding with long loop
where it crossed the Rocky mountains
and the. Sierras) to Puget sound and
the Pacific ocean. If one had ap-
preached this line during the glacial
period anywhere from the south, he
would have Immediately struck the
conditions of Greenland, and found
them continuous for thousands of
miles. Alaska still retains the stumps
of this great glacier, several hundred
square miles being covered by the
Muir glacier alone, and a still larger
area by the Malaspina glacier, which
comes down from Mount st. Elias.
In Europe the ice fields radiated from
the Scandinavian peninsula. extending
across the North sea to southern Eng
land, and across the Baltic to central
Germany and southeastern Russia.
In thinking of the glacial period it
should be kept clearly in mind that
glacial ice is simply compressed snow.
Glaciers are formed wherever there is
a snowfall which exceeds the melting
power of the warm season. Everyone
Is familiar with the fact that a snow
ball may be made as hard as ice by
sufficient pressure in the hands.
That ice in great masses could flow
like cold tar or molasses or any other
semi-fuid seemed, until short time
ago, impossible, and did not enter into
the thought of mankind. But about
10 years ago it was demonstrated in
Switzerland that the ice was actually
moving down the valleys. proceeding,
not like an avalanche, but creeping
with true flow, and carrying on its
back and frozen into its mass frag-
ments of rock of varying sizes, some
of them being as large as small
house. Under the lee of one of these
rock masses on top of the Aar glacier
Agassiz built him a hut, and conducted
many of his important observations.
The great extent of this glacial
movement in former times was shown
by the distance which some of these
powders had been carried.
In North America the transportation
of powders by glacial ice has been
even more remarkable. The back
bone of Cape Cod and Long Island,
line of hills from one hundred to two
hundred feet high, and two or three
miles broad, is simply pile of bowl

The story of the glacial period has
not been half told. Its wonders are
increasing every day. 1t is the last of
the great geological epochs, and has
not yet passed away. Greenland is
still shivering under the rigors of
glacial conditions. With the excep-
ton of narrow belt of mountains
around the southern end, the whole
continent, some 100000 square miles
in extent, is still buried beneath ice
from one mile to two miles deep,
while the antarctic continent, with
still greater area, is so completely en-
veloped in ice that explorers have yet
been able to penetrate only the
merest fringe at two or three points.
