NOT SUCH A GREAT MARVEL
Telephone Spectroscope" Easily Elk
planned When One Understood
the Situation.

Charles R. Crane of elevator re-
nown, was once discussing with a
Chicago reporter a new elevator in
vention.
"That invention" said Mr.. Crane,
smiling, lis very wonderful. But I'm
afraid it's like the telephone spectre
scope
How so, sir?" the reporter inquired.
We'll" said Mr.. Crane, there
were two friends, Blank and Dash.
Blank was rather gullible. Dash
called him up one day and said:
Hello, old man! You're looking
well. These telephone spectroscopes
are fine things, areR't they?
Telephone spectroscopes? What
are you giving u.s.? said Blank SUSPECT
ously.
Why, it's the latest thing said
Dash. "A round, mirror-like disc in
front of the phone. You see the per-
son you're talking to just as | see you
now
"'Just as you see me? Rubbish!
Do you mean to say you've got one
on your phone? sneered Blank.
"'Sure, old man. And / see you
plain in It.
80, you do, Ell? Well, what am |
doing then?' said the gulli6le Blank
as he held up his hand.
"Why, you're holding up your right
hand, of course
'Humph,' Mystifed, Blank knelt on
the floor. What, he said, am doing
now?
"'Ha, ha, ha! Saying your pray
ers,' was the reply.
BLANK then held up in succession
before the telephone his watch, hat,
a fan; and Dash, at the other end of
the wire, named the articles promptly
and correctly.
$50 Blank, the gullible Blank, was
convinced; and before ringing off he
told Dash to be sure and send the spec
troscope agent around and he'd buy
two from him, one for the office and
one for the house"
Mr.. Crane laughed, lighted a cigar
and began to talk elevators again.
"But how" stammered the report
. er-"how was the trick worked?"
'The joker Dash,' said Mr.. Crane,
had been talking from a friend 5
office across the street and through
the window he had a full view of
Blank all the time"

Historic ENGLISH REGIMES.

In England each county glories in
certain dishes which must be eaten
just there to be appreciated. The
Bath bun, Shrewsbury cakes, York
shire pudding, Banbury tartss and any
number of dishes that have become
famous. The average American goes,
sees, eats and pronOunces them heavy
and sticky, but consoles himself with
the thought that they are historic.
Good bread making is not said to be
an accomplishment of the English
cook, but the muffin or trumpet and
ten cakes are worth trying.
The great fault with the English
soups such as ox-tail and mulliga-
tawny is their strength and heaviness.
To begin dinner with any of these
soups as they are served in large
portion shows active digestive pow
ers, but lack of knowledge as to the
real mission of soup in meal.
A breakfast menu recommended for
August is one that would not find
favor with us. Bloaters on toast,
corned beef, mullins, brown and white
bread and butter, marmalade and
boiled hominy. Olive Green says: can
American who ate a breakfast like
that in August probably would not
send his collars to the laundry more
than once or twice more"
DeVonshire Cream.
This is an old recipe which is IA
nous in London. Allow milk to stand
"a hours in winter, IL in summer and
then brought just to the boiling point,
not to boil, however. The slower it
is heated the better 1t is then set
away until the following day, when it
is skinned and it is then known as
clotted cream 1t has a characteristic
and delicious flavor.
Banbury Tarts.
Stone and chop one cupful of rails
ms, add one cupful of sugar, one egg
slightly beaten, one cracker finely
rolled and the juice and rind of one
lemon. Roll some pastry one-eighth
of an inch thick and cut in pieces
three and one-half by three inches
wide. Put two teaspoonfuls of the
mixture on each piece, moisten the
edge with cold water, half way around,
fold over and press the edges together
with a fork dipped in -four. Bake 20
minutes.

Men Do the Same Thing.

Here's a twentieth century epic
which will appeal to the heart of man:
A dog sat in the midnight chill and
howled at the beaming moon; his
knowledge of music was strictly nil
and his voice was out of tune. And
he howled and howled as the hours
went by, Will lodging the bricks we
threw, till the moon was low in the
western sky, and his voice was split
in two. And there wasn't a thing al
which to howl over which pup
should weep, and the course Of that
dog was wrong and foul, for people
were wild to sleep. There are plenty
of men like that blamed fool bound
who yell when there's nothing wrong
disturbing the country with sense
less sound-the pessimist's doleful
song.-Hillsboro (Texas) News.

Whom God Hath Joined.

We have slipped the cup of sorrow,
Thou and I;
We have waited a tomorrow,
Thou and I;
We have watched beside a bed,
Bending DER a little head,
Crushed beneath a weight of dread,

We have owned our helplessness,
Thou and I;
We have sought God in distress,
Thou and I;
We have shed a common tear
When no other help was near,
Prayed together in our fear,
Thou and I.
Shall we break the ties that bind us,
Thou and I?

Shall we prove that union vain,
Shall we go our ways again,

LAST OBSTACLE IN PATH OF

Rupert's Assurance Added Sweetness
to Honey, and the Moon Once
More Had Occasion to
Smile SWeetly.

The moon had risen. Inspired by it's
lustrous beauty, Rupert had sum-
moned up the courage to put the great

face upward to the sky, with a far

Rupert. You are afraid that some
day mother will wish to come and live
with us, and that, sweet and lovely
character though she be, she will try
to run your house and so make life
a burden to you. All you dear little

REASON FOR ITS POPULARITY
Handsome and Convenient Mattress
Pincushion Never Seems to
Lose Its Favor.

Whatever style of pincushion comes
mattress form seems to be perennial
The reason oE this is not hard to
guess when one has ever been owned.
Whether on ones dressing table or in
travelling nothing quite takes its
place for convenience as we'll as good
looks.
This style Of cushion may be made
in all sizes, from those ten inches
long by eight inches wide, in which
can be stuck safety pins of all kinds,
as we'll as a full assortment of ordi-
nary pins, to the tiny ones four inches
long by two and q half inches wide,
so convenient to keep in a travelling
bag ready stocked.
The amount of material needed for
such cushion IS easily gagged. Buy
ribbon the exact width of the cushion
to be made and twice the length, with
enough over to turn in narrow
seam at each end. There should also
be enough inch-wide ribbon, the same
shade, to go around the four sides. If
desired, there can be an extra strip OF
this ribbon to sew to one end as a
hanger.
Overcast the narrow ribbon to top
and bottom, leaving the upper end
open to slip in the filling. This may
either be bran or wool wadding,
enough to make thick, full cushion.
Overcast the end and tuft with en-.
broidery silk or gilt thread, using a
long needle
