Boston, Massachusetts,. has long en-

1t Is said, to dispute on subjects far
above the heads of their elders of 9TH
er regions, But Boston is not unique.
In a book entitled THE Scot of the
Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren dc
scribes a similar characteristic of the
Caledonian.
1t is the inevitable tendency of the
Scots mind to follow out every line
to Its terminus. even II 1t be over a
precipice, and to divide every hair till
iniinity is touched
1t is not only in church courts. but
In market places and In railway sta
tions, In humble cottages as well as In
university societies that the Scot is
disputing in every spare moment OF
his time, from morning till night.
The story goes that n minister over
heard n mother questioning her child,
as IL supped It's porridge, after the
days work was done.
What" said this austere mother,
''is the true relation between kirk and

the Free church,"

MEXICANS' STAFF OF LIFE.

The tortilla Is the ancient Indian bread

dian corn (naize). which the women soak
in lime water until the kernels are at the
point Of bursting. then wash thoroughly
until it is free from lime, when they grind
it by rubbing II on large block Of stone,
specially out for the purpose. with a
smaller stone which they hold In their
hands.
The operation looks very much like
rubbing clothes on washboard and Is a
laborious and tedious one. The limo
renders the corn dough adhesive, like
wheat -four dough, and 1t is easily patted
between the hands into cakes the size and
shape OF an ordinary griddle cake and Is
baked upon thin stone griddle. Though
no salt or leayen Is added fresh tortillas
are exceedingly palatable.
The one other food mainstay is frijoles
ordinary beans. They are boiled to a
mush and with liberal quantity OF lard
are warmed as required In a fat earthen
dish that answers Tor frying pan. The
very poor people do not always have the
luxury OF frijoles and when they do have
them cannot always afford the lard.

The price Of an aeroplane as supplied by

Thus without including expenditure
on armaments ard munitions the first
cost of feet OF 100 aeroplanes would.
