The Social Corner sisters have had quite a symposium upon Johnnycale; and one sister says the name Is a cor ruption of journey cake, because in the old colonial days it was the staff of life taken on every journey. This is partially cOrrobrated by Bartlett in his Dictionary of Americanisms, where in defining it he says: Johnny cake: Indian meal mixed with milk or wa ter; in New England invariably spread upon the stave of a barrel top and baked before the fire. Sometimes stew ed pumpkin is mixed with it.' Lydia Maria Child wrote: Little Sarah, she stood by her grandmother's bed. And what shall l get you for breakfast? 9 she said You shall get me Johnny cake; quickly go make it. Tn one min ute mix and in two minutes bake it. ' A correspondent of the Providence Journal wrote: "All the greatness of our state has been nourished on John ny cakes of white cornmeal. Johnny cake I spell in deference to modern usage, though the old name, journey cake, may well recall to use that long and toilsome journey when our great founder fled from the odious land of yellow corn"

The Lord demands first of all that men be just in their dealings with their fellows. Withal justice Is a primal de- mand that men make of each other. The rich sometimes wonder that the objects of their bounty rise in revolt against various welfare schemes de- signed to help the working class. They cannot see why their kind hearted plans fail to arouse enthusiasm in the beneficiaries The reason in many cases is plain. Workingmen. like everybody else, want justice before they want kindness. They would rath- CT have a decent wage than all the model tenements and pleasure parks and band concerts that the boss can devise.

Have you noticed there are no dupli- cates in women's hats. It Is plain enough that all hats are not intended to be pretty or ornamental-only diff ferent in shape and rigging. It is very trying to woman's nerves to see a headpiece just like hers on the head of another woman, and she will never see it but once. As a rule all simi- larities in her own hat are immedl ately removed as soon as possible after discovery. Men are not so fnicky in this direction as women, although some men have been known by their hat for whole generation. How the milliners manage to steer clear Of re- beating their designs no man can tell, but where there are long credits they may be inspired to make things uglier every time. It must take a good na- tured woman to be a milliner, and we do not wonder they charge more for the dream" than for the stock in it. Of late most of the fashionable hats have been nightmares and that may be the reason such big things sold for small prices.

Some one has asked: If the Man Who Talks thinks he is an angel?' It will be a surprise to find that he knows he isn't. Angels are all invis- ible. unless they are made of wood or stone. The rigid doctrinaires say that all true angels have wings and whisk- CTS: and we have neither. It is not so long ago they secuted the female an- gels as decorations in marble, because there was no scriptural warrant for them These brazen iconoclasts sue ceeded in having he-angels substitut- ed, too! It has always been a pleasure to me to think of angels with gentle voices, beautiful hair and flowing robes. In fact, this was the kind of an angel l liked best, whether they were painted on canvas or were only a dream. We still prefer this model tc the brawny bewhiskered angel, for he does not appeal to us at all. He would be of little use on gunboat, or at a picnic,

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It was away back in Chesterfields day that it became quite the thing to talk about the spirit; and not liking the word, he was prompted to write Spirit is now a very fashionable word; to act with spirit, to speak with spirit. means only to act rashly, to talk indiscreetly An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions he is neither hot nor timid.' The word has come more and more into use since that day, and men are prompted by the spirit and respond to the spirit of good; and of late it has been reveal ed that all living things are prompted by and respond to the spirit, so that the Spirit reveals itself to man through every living thing as well as through the soul. There is but one all-pervad ing spirit in nature, and that is suff1- cient unto all things. There is no linn it to its power of expression, and those who are familiar with it do not expect all truths to come through men, since most of nature is truth itself. In this day the expression of the spirit in ev- erything from the firehy to radium is commanding the attention of men and leading them to broauer fields and brighter light.

that she had never imagined in

To make up her mind was to act, and
the very next time the young man
called she pointed to the rose that
adorned his button hole.
I'll give you kiss for that rose,"
she blurted out.
A crimson, guilty flush overspread
the young mans face, like the light of
