AN ALFALFA STORY.

Some people are incredulous about alfalfa They think it amounts to comparatively little after all. F. D. Coburn. who is alfalfa's greatest eX- poEent. tells story to illustrate the positions of some doubters on the all falfa question farmer. not the Kan sas kind, went to the circus with his family. In looking over the menagerie the farmer came to a dromedary, whose ugliness fascinated him. He sized up the beast from his misshapen head. his thick neck and his hump to his slim tail, his crooked legs and his sprawling feet. The rest of the family was ready to move on. but the farmer fingered. unable to take his eyes from the dromedary.
 One of the girls called to him, Pa. come on. we ar ~cady-to go now. You have looked at that thing long enough" Still Pa didn't budge. Then the boy shouted: Come on Pop. I can see the horses go round through that door. We'll miss part of the show"
 Finally Ma tried her voice on him. The old man gave one last. regretful look. and. moving on with eyes still on the dromedary. he said: "Oh. h-l, there ain't no such animal!"-Kansas City Journal.

 This is also the view of Arrhenius and other authorities
 What is the nature of these proiec- tiles? They are probably nuclei of negative electricity loaded with par ticles that they have picked up and when they strike the upper layers Of the earth's atmosphere they produce negative charges there. with many con sequences of interest to us.

 Some observers are beginning to think that they can detect tte very spots on the sun from which these un- desirable things are slot out.

FLOOD CONDITIONS
 IN LOCAL STREAMS
Melting Snow Gives the Verde an Old Time Rise-Raining Here.
 Roosevelt Cut Off.

The weather yesterday was just like that of the day before only little more so. The wind was not 50 strong but the rain was considerably more muscular It did little more than to threaten until the middle of the after noon when it began to rain quite hard and has continued intermittently until the hour of writing. about midnight of Sunday The precipitation at no time has been particuarly great but it has been penetrating and quite continuous In the meantime it has been raining whenever it pleased elsewhere round about and the melting snow in the mountains has started what promises to be a considerable flood in the lower country.
 It was learned yesterday that the Verde river had risen eight feet and q further rise was expected during the night. The r.ver was rising a tenth uf a foot per hour. This volume turn ed into the Salt river produced a flow of four feet over the Granite Reef dam which is 1000 feet long and makes pretty wet sort of a stream. It was expected that the flood would be dou- hled during the night in which event Salt river this morning will be of re- spectable size.
 So far as known none of this water to speak of comes from the upper Salt river. The telephone line to Roosevelt was out of commissiou yesterday but it is not presumed that the gates Tn the dam have been opened for surely the reservoir cannot he filled yet and no other reason for opening the gates can he imagined. The 1000 inches go- ing through the penstock in the devel- "pment of power and the seepage and increase from small tributaries this side of Roosevelt is all the water be- lieved to be coming from that direc- ton. a very small matter compared with the flood in the Verde.
 Cave Creek also played little n.y. fnee performance yesterday afternoon but failed to excite anybody. About 1000 inches of water came down the wash and broke into the Arizona canal but so far as known did no damage except to the north bank of the ditch. II was not believed there would be any greater flood in Cave Creek last night as there was no indication of heavy rain on the Cave Creek watershed late yesterday. If it rained hard there last night the water would not get down until today.

HOW THE FRENCH MAKE THEM

To Glaze Puff Paste-When a brown polished finish is desired the pastry should be brushed with egg glaze be- fore baking. For this glaze allow one tablespoonful of water to each egg The egg must not be beaten to the frothy stage. but merely enough to make it mix with the water Where gloss. but no color. is desired, the white of the egg alone may be used. The yolk gives the yellowish- brown tinge so much admired on real French pastry. Use a quill for this work and dust over with sugar
 Fanchonettes-Inyert patty-tins and cover with puff paste. Prick. and bake in q very quick oven until they are entirely risen, though not suffi- ciently Drowned Remove. fill with lemon filling as for lemon pie and return to the oven. These little tarts are delicious covered with a meringue and Drowned in the oven A slight grating of lemon-rind in the center of each tart is an attractive addition to the meringue and emphasizes pleas antly the lemon flavor
 Macaroon Tarts-MiX the yolIss of two eggs with one-half cupful of granulated sugar and beat until light Roll a half dozen dry macaroons and flavor either with the grated rind and juice of an orange or a lemon. Mix this with a tablespoonful of melted butter. Beat all these ingredients un- til they are smooth and then add the stiffly-beaten whites of the two eggs. Cover inverted patty-tins with puff paste. prick. and bake in a hot oven. When cool, fill with marmalade or jelly and cover with the macaroon mixture. Place for a moment in the oven until the tops brown.
 Napoleons-Dividep paste into thirds and roll each portion into a sheet as thin as possible without breaking. Prick and chill before placing in the oven. When well baked. cool and spread between the sheets of puff paste any favored cream, filling preferred. The top should be covered with a thin layer of confectioners' icing and sprinkled with finely chopped nuts When ready to serve, cut into blocks two inches wide by four long
 Gslettes-Roll puff paste one-eighth of an inch thick. Shape with floured lady-finger cutter. or. cut into strips four inches long by one and one-half inches wide. Brush the tops with white of egg and sift over with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Shredded cocoanut or chopped nuts may be substituted for the sugar and cinnamon.-The DelineatOr for Jan uary.

RILEYs TRIBUTE TO HIS FRIEND

James Whitcomb Riley paws tender tribute to his old friend and teacher. Lee O. Harris, whose death occurred on Friday It is not perfunctory post mortem appreciation that he expresses, for in substance his verses are what he often said of Harris while the lat ter lived The friendship that began when the poet was a boy deepened with the years as the younger man came the better to understand and ap- preciate the fine qualities of his old master and the service he had rendered his pupil Each was fortunate to have known the other.
 Lee o. Harris. O say not he is head,
 The friend we honored so: Lift up a grateful voice instead
 And say: He lives. we know We know it by the light
 Of his enduring love Of honor. valor. truth and right,
 And man. and God above. Remember how he drew
 The child-heart to his own. And taught the parable anew.
 And reaped as he had sown: Remember with what cheer
 He filled the little lives, And stayed the sob and dried the tear
 With mirth that still survives. All duties to his kind
 It was his joy to fill: With nature gentle and refined.
 Yet dauntless soul and will He met the trying need
 Of every troublous call, Yet high and clear and glad indeed
 He sung above it all. Aye. listen! still we hear
 The patriot song. the lay Of love, the woodland note so dear These will not die away, Then say not he is dead,
 The friend We honor so. But lift a grateful voice instead.
 And say; He lives. we know. James Whitcomb Riley.

THE SUN AS A GUNNER.

The opinion is gaining among men of science that we owe a good deal more than the familiar blessings of light and heat to the sun. We may owe to it some things with which we would willingly dispense-for instance. magnetic storms and violent upsetings of weather and climate.
 Sir Oliver Lodge is now champion ing the view that the sun makes a kind of target of our planet, and

DECORATIVE BAGS MADE OF
VELVET TO MATCH FROCh

When you gather up the scraps Of
your velvet afternoon dress, don't
throw them away Make them up
into a soft bag that should be carried
with the dress. II can be square or
round, and whatever other material
YOU wish can be combined with it, A
silk cord, or silver or gold If you wish
the metallic tone, must be attached.
This is thrown over the arm.
Beads. embroidery, little patches Of
tapestry or brOcade and braid or lace
are easy ways of decorating the fiat
upper surface.
Just as a personal touch, embroider
your monogram in circle or diamond
down in one corner.
Paris is quite enthusiastic over
these bags and America promises to
take up the fashion. This is merely
a hint to clever women.

which have made the Weaver Piano
superior to others. Send for cata-
