One of them, indeed, goes so far as
to declare that the tea-cake is q
dysphagic incubus, q morsel of in
adaptable antiquity, much like the
friendship of 4 pious fraud"
Precisely what dysphagic incubus
is, | confess that don't quite know.
But it sounds awful-even worse
than pious fraud, which is thing
OF which | have some knowledge, and
which is, generally speaking, rather
more dangerous than imagine the
| dysphagic would be- That, how
ever does not matter so much. The
point to be noticed is that we are
so supersensitive in these days that
even such cherished friends of our
Cmnivorous youth as the tea cake is
to be regarded as unclean, and must
submit to be pelted with such awe
some epitGets as those have quoted.
OF course the good days
crank had to offer few remarks on
the subject. That was inevitable.
There never was-there never will
be-arything so good as the things
this type of faddist used to get in his
youth, and he was in duty bound to
the papers to explain that the tea
cakes turned out by bakers of today,
are simply not to be compared to
those his mother made.
1t is state of things which can
not be contemplated with entire
satisfaction by even the most CON-
placent and easy-going amongst US.
For, if we tamely submit to seeing
the tea-cake relegated to innocuous
desuetude, we are obviously opening
the door to changes still more dras-
tic. The pancake is already ane-
thema. The mince pie is tabooed.
Exit the tea-cake, and what is
there left? Will mullins" be the
next victim of dyspeptic dogmat-
ism? Obviously. my masters, we
had better make haste slowly.

Yosr Favorite Cheese: Where It Genes
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Edam, pineapple, Parmesan and
Roquefort are hard cheeses; Neuf-
chatel, cream and cottage cheeses
soft. Genuine cream cheese is made
from o rich cream thickened by sour
ing, or from sweet cream thiekened
by rennet. Neufchatel is q soft rem
net cheese made from cows milk.
either whole or skinned. Cottage
cheese is made from sour milk with
out the use of rennet.
Roquefort is q hard rennet cheese
made from the milk Of sheep. the
name being derived from the village
of Roquefort in the southeastern part
of France, where the cheese is rip
ened in caves or natural caverns.
Edam is hard rennet cheese pro-
duced in Holland and is made from
unskimmed cows milk. Parmesan
is an Italian cheese known for centu-
ries in that country as Grana, the
term referring to the granular con-
dition OF the cheese. 1t is so hard
that cutting is practically impossi-
BILE. and we get it in this country
grated in bottles. This cheese is
made from SKINNED milk.
Pineapple cheese is said to have
originated in Litchfeld county,
Conn, and is a hard rennet cheese
made from cows milk. The flavor ol
different cheeses is given by the
method of ripening. Hard and soft
cheeses differ mainly in the fat con-
stituents and methods OF manufac.
ture, but most of all in their keeping
quality, the hard cheeses keeping for
q protracted time.

Color in Plant Life.

Those familiar with the growth of
flowers know how essential light is
to the creation of color. The most
vivid blooms and the most brilliant
foliage. if kept in the dark or over
shaded, will lbecome pale and almost
white. This fact shows the pres
ence in the plant of some chemical
agent which is acted upon by the
actinic rays.
To some extent this chemistry of
nature is understood by florists,
who, by the use Of chemical fertiliz-
ers and other means, strive to take
the greatest advantage of it. For
instance. it is a common practice to
mix alum and iron filings with the
soil in which certain plants are
grown, in order to bring out special
coiors.
The blush tinted hydrangea is the
result of such treatment. Salts of
iron, or sodium phosphate, added to
the soil, turn the crimson of the pc
ony to violet and produce blue hor-
| tenSias.
According to DR.. Hanson, who has
studied the subject very closely for
many years. there are only three dis
tinct pigments to be found in flowers
setting aside the chlorophyl, which
forms the green coloring matter in
all plants. These colors are yellows,
reds and blues.
The yellows are mostly in combi-
nation with the plasmis sap. while
the others exist chiefly in solution in
the cell sap. The yellow pigments
form an insoluble compound with fat
ty matters, which is termed lipo-
chrome.
Orange is formed by a denser de-
posit OF the yellow, and the color in
the rind of an orange is identical
with that found in many flowers.
The red in flowers is a single pig
ment soluble in water and decolor-
lied by alcohol, but capable of being
restored by the addition of acids.
Lipochrome combined with this
red pigment produces the scarlets
and reds of poppies and the hips. of
hawthorne, but the varying inten-
sity of reds in roses, carnations, peo-
nies and other flowers depends on the
presence OF a greater or lesser
quantity of acids. The blue and vi
olet cOlors are also decolorized by al
cohOl, but are Redeemed by acids.
Florists have already succeeded in
producing q very large scale of unus-
ual colors in flowers, and there seems
to be very good grounds for believ-
ing that it is possible so to manipu-
late nature that she will produce
blossoms Of every conceivable tint.

THE GOLDEN TOUCH.

LeOnora Sill Ashton in Young Christian Soldier.
King Midas, you will remember,
had such a passionate fOndness for
gold that he could think of and cared
for little else. He could not look at
the sunset, we are told, without
wishing he could squeeze the shining
clouds up in box and have them
for real gold. The same with the
flowers that grew in his beautiful
garden-instead of taking pleasure
in them, in their loyeliness and frag-
rance, he merely wished they, too,
might be changed into the substance
of the treasure he priced.
The story relates how his wish was
granted that everything he touched
would turn to gold; and how this
! power brought him unhappiness and
he gave it up.
That is the old fairy tale, as it
has been fashioned for US by great
artist; and now am going to tell
you about real little girl. who was
possessed of golden touch.
When she was very young if her
little brothers and sisters cried or
were unhappy, she would come trot-
ting up with her best toys to cheer
them. and when she grew little
older she would tell them wonderful
stories which she made up out of her
own small head, and so amused them
that they would forget all about the
bumps, or the quarrels, or whatever
it was that had made them cry.
Thus in a very short time they would
all be laughing. and everything
would be as bright and happy as the
golden sunshine after the rain.
When this little girl grew still
older and went to school, the same
i thing happened there. She was al
ways helping her schoolmates who
were in trouble; brushing away dis
agreeable things and making every.
thing bright and shining.
The neighbOrs, too; all loved to
have her come in. She's always
welcome" they would say. for
she's just like a sunbeam.

The Rest Was Silence.

"Why do they say, As smart as

sweetest voice, because it knows
exactly the right time to shut up.
More might have been said. but un-
der tho circumstances it would have
seemed uniting.

Marie Antoinette's Musical Clock.

One of the many beautiful clocks
cherished by Marie Antoinette was
the musical clock. 1t was made in
1736. and plays airs from Gluck and
other old composers, but until re-

years. Being very fragile it is only
