Cat Makes Home in Church.

A black eat has made a home for herself and family beneath the organ in St. Pauls church. London, and all efforts to dislodge her have failed The cat has been in the habit of at tending church for the past two or three months Occasionally she ap- peared at Sunday worship, but was more frequently in the habit of slip ping in on week days when the care taker was busy. Time and again the cat has been sent away. but now that she has family to look after the diff culties of eviction are increased. Xvi dently she prefers the comfort of the church 10 a precarlous existence out of doors. and troubles little that she and her nursery might cause dis location in the mechanism of the or gan.

Should Have Heeded Alarm.

Because it had lied to him before, James L. ogden of Newark refused to believe the burglar alarm in his house recently, and now he is mourn ing the loss of several hundred dol lars worth of silverware. Several times within the last few months Ogden has been awakened by the burglar alarm. Each time he looked for a burglar but found none. A short time ago he learned that the alarm was set off by jarring of passing trolley ears. When aroused the other night by the ringing of the alarm. he heard the rumble of trol- ley ear and decided that the ear was respectable for the alarm, so he just reached out of bed. stopped the gong, and went to sleep again. Next morn ing it was discovered that q pane of glass had been cut ont of d window and that the silyerware was gone.

Potato ExpIoded.

A potato, the size of tea cup. caused extraordinary havoc in home in Vancouver, Wash, the other day when it exploded in the oven Of a range and shattered the cast-iron grate, blew open the oven door. and caused such loud report that the maid thinking someone had shot as her rushed from the house screaming for help. The explosion was due to the large amount of water In the po~ tato and to the fact that 1t was in a hot oven. When the water was con- verted to steam. the skin being baked hard. did not break until the pressure became tremendous, causing report similar to the discharge of shotgunA

WHY WE FAVE NO LITERATURE
Writer Says it Is Because We Don't Need 1t and Have No
 Audience.

Mir. Bryce. in his American Com- wealth calls attention to the fact that Americans have a way of deprecating themselves, a habit by which appar- ently they intend to forestall any ad- verse criticism. One American, in talking to an English friend about. American institutions, will tell him confdentally that the, are not what they ought to be; will, in fact. point to the national defects with the air of connoisseur To outsiders he will talk impersonally and deprecat- ingly enough about his own country: to insiders he will storm and scream at some of its crying defects; but the idea that the Constitution is nN per- manent never enters his head
 In the meantime the Englishman never understands America; 1t is true, that in critcizing America he is like ly often to hit the nail upon the head. but never understands the real spirit back of the race.
 It is likely to be said of our litera- ture for example, that 1t Is not lit erature at all, that the thing which we are pleased to call literature Is dominated by commercialism and is too hastily done. That Is probably true; but the real reason Is that we have no audience If there were. enough people to demand literature. We should not lack for geniuses to supply the demand.
 But the truth Is that we do not need a literature. Why should we at tempt to produce one when we can have the benefit of so many others?
 When the time comes, if our coal mines and forests hold out, we shall make literature of our own-possi- ply just for the fun of doing it. {

House Considers Penitentiary Report.

The report of the house peniten- ;iary committee. which was not as sensational as some seemed to have expected was received, accompanied by about 400 pages of testimony. No criticism of anyone in authority is made but reports state that the work of managing the penitentiary is too great to be done properly by the pres ent board, all members of which are burdened with other duties and have not the time to devote to penitentiary matters that they should As a rem edy for this condition, bill was in- troduced, proposing to put the peni- tentiary under the management of three commissioners, one to be ap- pointed by the governor and the other two to be elected by the house and senate, respectively.

Enormous Cigarette Consumption.

South Africa smokes 650,0OO,000 cigarettes per annum, and well over 600 100000 of them are retailed In six.cent packets. Evidence to this somewhat startling effect was given recently by witnesses possessing spe- cial knowledge before the industries commission at Cape Town. The eff feet of this enormous consumption of tobacco upon the physical health or the population, must be considerable, and the Union government Is bein. earnestly urged to take the question up. The Boy Scout movement IS be- ing greatly encouraged as it Is ex- pected that 1t will counteract and de crease the spread of the habit among the youthful inhabitants of the connr try.

ENCOURAGING MEN OF FORTY
Many Famous Persons Have Achieved Their Greatest Successes After
 Reaching That Age.

B. W. Leader, R. A, the well-known artist, who has just celebrated his eighticth birthday, affords one more proof that man is not too old at forty, or even at eighty. Burns, By ron, Keats, Shelley Mozart and Raphael died young. but most of the greatest achievements have been the fortieth year. In fact, the sixth de- Cade of life has been the most prolific in human master work. Within that period of existence Caesar wrote his commentaries, Bacon hts "Noyum Organum" and Dante his Divine Comedy" Cromwell was fifty when te defeated Charles L; Columbus. Humboldt, Gelyani, John Hunter, Rep Ter and Faraday, had they died before they attained that age. would not have effected their most important discoveries. Handels Messiah" and Beethoyen's Choral Symphonies" would not have been composed. Marl- borough would not have won Blen- helm, Velasquez' Pope Innocent, Rembrandt's "Syndics.'

House Passes Revenue Bill.

After prolonged debate, the house passed what Is known as the Simms- Thweat bill, providing for additional revenue. Although differing as to some details, yet in the main this is similar to the Turner-Jaeobson bill which passed the senate and was turned over to the house some days tefore. The chief argument or req. son assigned for refusing to pass the senate bill in the house was the fact that the emergency clause was strick- en from it and the people would have four months after it's passage to refer it to vote at the next election, while tEe emergency clause is attached to the house bill. carrying 1t into imme date effect.

ARARAT NOT EASY TO CLIMB
Only Seventeen Accents of the Noun tain Where the Ark Rested Have
 Been Recorded.

Ararat Is not mountain that ia climbed every day, or even every year. Seventeen ascents have been recorded.

CT could be Jinns and fiends and gi, ants had prevented the rasCally Kurds from even attempting to scale the terrible mountain. and since the not been allowed to trespass on the sealed heights he was informed. Had not St. Hagop tried again and again 10 reach the summit in order to si- lence the skeptics about the Ark? But found himself each morning on walk ing quietly deposited at the base, whence he started Finally an angel presented him with a piece of the Ark for his pains. but told him to cease his attempts to reach the for bdden ground That was In the fourth century of our era, but the piece of the Ark Is still to be seen at the monastery of the Eltchmaidsin, where dwels the catholicos of the Armenian church. That Russians. or a stray lone Englishman, had really reached the top of Ararat was not to be thought of.

SAUCE IN CHEWING TOBACCO
Flavor Given the Weed by Licorices Whisky, Honey and Many
 Other Things.

'I am tobacco chef said the sal- low man. T make the sauces that give us smoking or chewing tobacco. as a food chef makes the sauces which give us sole colbert or poulet creole
 Take this dark. sweet, juicy plug of navy brown so popular among the more prosperous type of teamsters- Well, the flavor of this plug is due to a sauce made of sugar, licoriee. whis- ky and honey.
 Here is a mild cool pipe tobacco that young college boys favor. Smell 1t. Very aromatic, eh? Well. 1t has been steeped in a sauce composed of the essential oils of citronelia, berga~ mot and cassia
 But 1t Is when you come to tho high grade Havana cigar, the cigar that sells for 40 or 50 cents, that you see the tobacco chef at his best. He doesn't make his sauces then of such common ingredients as sugar. berga- mot, licorice and so forth. No, he makes them of bacteria. The fiavorx of the high-grade Havana tobaccos de- pend you see, entirely on their fer ments. Each tobacco undergoes dif- ferent fermentation and here the chen comes in~ applying the bacteria. or yeasts, which cause these fermenta- tions, to the leaf.
 Yes, the tobacco chef of the high est type, the one who ferments Hava- ma tobacco, handles the various breeds of bacteria as an ordinary chef ham, dles pepper and salt. mustard and cloves and mace"
