Rose Leaves and Brown Sugar.

You took rose leaves-fresh rose
leaves-and mixed them with brown
sugar. Then you wrapped them in
leaf from grapevine and buried the
whole business in the ground. You
let them stay for three days. At the
end OF that time you dug them up and
ate them, ate them with rapture known
only to those who have eaten this par
ticular dellcacy, for TO the natural
fragrance Of the rose leaves and the
nourishing and delicious properties Of
the brown sugar that interval of three
days in the warm earth had added a
new quality. A mysterious alchemy
had been at work and transformed the
mixture into something exquisite, a
dish to be envied by great kings and

Today is the one hundredth annlv-
ersary of the birth of Charles Dick
ems, generally considered the great
est of English novelists. The Dick
ems centenary is being generally OBJ
served in English speaking countries
and is resulting in greatly increased
reading of Dickens works. This re.
version to Dickens is undoubtedly the
most valuable feature of the year in
literary circles. 1t will be good
thing for novel readers to pause
briefly in their mad chase of the
maudlin sentiment and doubtful
morals so prominent in current nov
els, and read something of the health
full humor and genuine sentiment por-
trayed by Dickens. Previous to the
days of Dickens. is was customary to
make the heroine Of every novel a
duchess and the hero, at least, a
lord. Dickens, by his works, taught
Il
that ordinary people appreciated
books descriptive of the life of JUS
plain human beings, who make up
ninety-fve per cent of the human
race, and the lesson has never been
entirely forgotten, though there is a
type of slushy, mawkish, half-vicious
fiction now in vogue. in which the
hero is or becomes a Napoleon of f.
nance in the course of few days or
years. Every reader of fiction should
resolve to read at least one of Dick
ems novels during the next six weeks.
1t will be the sincerest way of show
ing appreciation of his great genius

The Wild Pigeon Mystery.

That the wild pigeon. once so COM
mon In the United States. has become
extinct is one of the strangest mys-
teries In American natural history. II
Is n puzzle which has batiled scientists
and which probably never will be solv-
ed. Less than forty years ego wild
pigeons were abundant In Pennsylva-
MIA. Ohio. Indiana. Kentucky and all
the states of the middle west In their
migratlons they Travelled In docks num-
berlng tens of thousands, and II some
times took single dock the better
part OF an hour to pass given point.
Vast numbers of the pigeons were
killed every year by gunners. but many
investigators hold that the complete
Disappearance OF the species must have
been due In part NJ least TO other
causes. No other bird was ever so nu-
nerous In this country as the pigeon

MAN DIES OF CHAMBERS
Contracted Disease by Kindly Holding
Horse for a stranger

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 5.-After
an illness of nine weeks Albert Ma
egel died of CHAMBERS yesterday. That
is the second death of human be-
ing from CHAMBERS here in few
months. The other was that of DR..
Joseph Kelly. former national vice
president of the Elks.
The case of Naegel attracted much
attention from physicians because OF
the extent of the illness and other
features and the Yale Medical school
took many observations and photo
graphs Just how he got the disease
is uncertain, but friends say he held
horse out of kindness while a
stranger went into stable to try to
sell it. The horse sneezed and the
disease was absorbed through the
eye.
