A diminutive juvenile, one Jack,
surname Horner, upon a time
achieved mention in literature by
depositing himself in a crouching
position in the angle formed by
two walls of a chamber (presump-
lively situated in the domicile Of
his parents), while engrassed in
the pastime of devouring delecta-
BILE pastry prepared in celebration
of the Yuletide holiday. 1t trans
pired that he employed an exceed
ingly original method Of attacking
the delicacy. This consisted in
penetrating. the crust thereof with
the first digit of the hand next the
radial side. BY virtue of this
movement he was enabled to ex-
tract from the contents fruity
CONNECTION described as plum. :"
Whereupon, elated by his fortunate
exploration, he gave voice to an
expression of egOtistical delight,
proclaiming himself in so many
words as an urchin of exceptionally
elegant personality.
From this one would deduce that
this Horner individual was re-
markably susceptible to exagger-
ated appreciation of his own en-
terprise, mediocre though it may
appear to those endowed with a
more discerning mind.

Mr.. JURGLETON HAS NOTICED
No Man, Young or Old, In a stovepIpe
Hat, Ever Seen Carrying a Baby,
He Declares.

Did you ever" said Mr.. Jurgleton,
see man in a silk hat carrying an
infant child? Never, 1 venture to
say.
You do see plenty OF fathers, young
fathers, mostly. carrying their babies,
and very willing to carry them, indeed
proud of their offspring; but you never
see such father in q tall hat. They
may wear forty-1even other kinds of
hats-derbies, soft hats, straw hats. or
as many kinds OF caps; but no father
carrying an infant ever wears a silk
hat.
"Of course there can't be any fash
Ion decree about this. Refraining from
wearing silk hat on such occasions
must be due just to instructive COM
mon sense; the baby In an extremely
informal thing. liable to scream or cry
or wriggle or sQuirm at any minute,
to bear Itself in many ways in a man
ner quite incompatible with high hat
dignity; and even young fathers seem
to know this, and so they leave their
stovepipe tiles on the shelf at home
when they go out with the baby. They
seem to know what is fitting instinct
lively; but you never see a man in a
stoVepipe hat carrying a baby"

ART IN OLD ENGLISH HOUSES
Beautiful Carving and PaneIlna That
Had Long Ben Concealed
10 Discovered.

When q low range Of buildings at
Little Horkesley, ESSEX, England,
which for q century and q half had
been let In i've separate tenements,
came into the market and was bought
by an owner who, having an eye for
things old and curious, had the walls
stripped, surprising discoveries were
made It was found that all i've were
really parts Of one old Tudor house.
Behind the whitewash and plaster
and common wall paper were brought
to light beautiful carving and panel
ing OF the Tudor period. The doors
were found to be Of oak heavily stud
ded with nails.
During the last summer the village
church at Doddington, Kent under
went that process known as "restora-
tion," which in too many cases has
spelled destruction, and In the course
Of the work the removal OF a quantity
OF plaster led to the discovery of an
unexpected lancet window of the thir-
teenth century, which had been
blocked up for many generations
The splays were well preserved,
and the discoverers were rewarded
not only by finding the arch Of the
lancet beautifully decorated with stars
and roses, all IN excellent preserva-
ton, but by the revealing on one of
the splays Of noble figure of a monk,
nearly seven feet high, portrayed in
the act Of giving the bensdiction.

Quet was made OF potatoes, and even
the brandy and liquors were the prod
uct of the same vegetable. This was
Parmentier's final proof to his skep-
teal fellow countrymen that potatoes
were not poison, as they persisted in
believing. Louis XVI. himself was
one of Parmentier's earliest converts,
granted him land on which to grow
his plants and did not disdain to wear
the potato flower as a buttonhole.
Then Parmentier cleverly posted
guards round his potato fields by day
and withdrew them by night, so that
people were tempted to come then,
steal, eat and be convinced. The all
potato banquet was the climax OF the
great campaign.

Back 70 the Farm

There is just one way for the people
OF the city to find it possible to buy
eggs, chickens, meat and -four for less
money-that is for some Of them to
leave the city and go back to raising
more hens. more cattle. and growing
more wheat. The fact is that the
country is getting top-heavy. The
cities are calling too heavily on the
producing areas. Farming is getting
to be one Of the most profitable bust
nesses OF the country because the pro
portion Of non-producers is getting SO
large. 1t is all a matter Of supply and
demand; just now the demand for
foodstufs is larger than It has ever

HID BAD TEETH OF EMPRESS
Origin Of the Lace Handkerchief A.
eribed to Vanity Of First
Napoleon's Consort

One of the straDgest facts illustrating
the vanity OF woman is that the lace
handkerchief owed its introduction to
the Empress JOsephine's bad teeth. J0-
sephine's vanity is no new subject
with historians. who as a group, how
ever, neglect the care with which she
kept the world from observing that
her teeth were neither ornamental nor
useful. 1t is with Josephine's vanity
as 1t was manifested toward Napoleon
that historians are concerned. not
with her instructive care for her own
appearance. She never laughed except
from behind the cover OF a lace hand
kerchief. 1t was a trick the meaning
OF which was known to every woman
in France. yet so contradictory is
feminine nature that it took short
time for women OF all degrees to give
themselves to imitation. Whether
possessed of good teeth or bad. the
French woman in Josephine's golden
days always pressed a handkerchief
to her lips when she laughed, and be-
cause lace handkerchiefs were Jo-
sephine's pride they came into gen
eral use. There has been a change
since Josephine's time, however. for
now the rule is to show a handker-
chief as little as possible. Even the
daintiest linen and lace specimens are
to be held from view
