RollInu rhInas Soft.

There are many things, such as eggs. that can be boiled hard, and oth- CT things that can be boiled soft, and one of them is the potato.
 The potato belongs to class of foods called starchy. because 1t Is al most entirely composed of grains of starch. These grains are contained in a stiff woody sort of covering, which will not expand, as it is not elastic. If the potato were left in the ground, 1t would need this starch for its future existence, but when it Is dug up and boiled something happens to the starch.
 The hot water soaks through the hard woody covering and gets to the grains of starch. which immediately begin to expand, and as the hard GOV ering cannot expand with it, there is nothing for it but to burst, and by the time all the hard part of the potato has been broken up in this way and quantity of water has been absorbed he potato is quite soft

MERCY THAT STINGS
NIGHT COURT JUDGE METEs OUT
 DISGUISED INJUSTICE.
Fashionable Women Enjoy Ills Cruel y Impertinent Questioning of For Iorn Girl and Then Praise Him
 for His Kindness.

She's been up here thirty times,- said the court officer, with backward Jerk of his thumb.
 She wasn't bad looking girl at all. Not many months ago she had been very good looking girl indeed. In snita of the slush underfoot and the drizzIing rain that had been falling she was not noticeably bedraggled when she came into the night court for women. One chiefly noticed that her eyes were dull and her bearing careless. She had become used to the routine of her nfe-and that rou- tine included the court. Emotion had been burned out of her by the caustio of existence A flare of drunken an Eer-a maudlin sob-were her limits of expression. She mounted the bridge drearily, bopelessly. It was evident enough the girl didn't care.
 Ask her"
 A buzz of whispering filled the court room. One looked up to see bevy of handsomely dressed women sitting bv the side of the judge. They wore evening gowns Gems sparkled agalnst fbe paIlor of their breasts. Their fair shoulders were protected against the .draughts of the filthy courtroom by costly furs. They rested white kid elbows upon the judges desk and nronned their arrogant and complaeent faces tn. slender hands and stared that dizzy courtroom down. The judge had obviously been dining with them. HIS handsome face was flushed and he often laughed behind his hand with the prettiest of his callers. At their prompting he asked that poor bedeviled, hopeless woman who stood before him questions tnat were still cruelty impertinent, thcrfh he was fudge and she a woman of fh6 streets The silk clad women by his aIde Ilt' tered and exchanged mocking Blancee. The woman's voice grew hoarse anq strained as she replied. She stared al the women of another world as those women of the poor streets in Paris may have stared at the women of the court some hundred odd years ago.
 You may go now," said the judge siIktly. The women who sat by his side upon a bench that had been de filed, stretched out their pretty handi and patted him gently upon the arm.
 aHow good you are to these people, said one to him. addressing him by hii first name.
 The old court officer was leading the woman toward the door. A brigh snot burned high upon her cheek bones. The flames of rage hared II her widely opened, staring eyes ~Gwan now, kid" said the old cour officer, batting her shoulder witl awkward kindness. Don't you care. Cincinnati Times-Star.

At tbe nlrd Store Window.


 The bird store window is an unfal ing attraction to many people. Per haps it attracts men more than wom- en, but it is a magnet that draws all children.
 Let small boys or girls discover a bird store and they halt and finger long. wondering over or admiring the strange or beautiful feathered crea' lures within, and children walking with their mother if they should spy this window are sure to tug her to- ward 1t to give them chance to look in. The bird store window interests all children, as it appears to interest also many grown men who may be drawn to it by a natural fondness for birds and animals, or be attracted by the novel or striking character of the exhibit on view.
 Here. for instance, in this window is a white peacock, a remarkable bird seen with it's plumage in whatever form. As with characteristic delibera ton it walks about with it's long tail feathers folded and trailing people stop to look at it, and then let it raise and spread it's great white fan anc many more halt and gather in crowd around the window.-New York Sun.

demie des Sciences Professor Dastre said that when cancerous growths are Inoculated upon mice almost all of these develop the disease; but if the progeny of these infected mice be in- oculated with the same growth, only eighty per cent. of these are affected. This 80 per cent. M. Dastre calls the ''rich line," in contradiction of the 20 per cent. unaffected, which he calls the "poor line"
 These results, it seems, are con stant, which proves that heredity has created among the progeny of cancer ous mothers a class of animals that appear to be immune to the disease. For the mice of this "poor line" trans init their immunity to their descend ants in a proportion that Professor Dastre calculates at four to one. The experiments apparently have not gone far enough to prove how many gene rations will be necessary to estabiish race of absolutely immune mice.

PIG IN COED DoRMI1oRY
Fifty Boy Students Face Expulsion at Hands of Faculty as Result

Hiram. O.-The faculty of Hiram college is Investigating an unusual nrank. played by the boys of the col Iege. when a pig was turned loose among the sleeping co-eds in BolWer hall
 The students chose the latest. live Hest greasiest pig in the sty of farmer two miles from the school Thev gagged it and pulled burlap' bag over it's kicking. wiggIing, grunt- ing body. Then they iugged it 10 the dormitory.
 It was past ten o'clock, and lights were out. when they let 1t in through window. MT. Pig did the rest Ills soueaIing and romping hoofs cast con starnation among the co-eds.
 The matron was the first who dared .o leave bed. She opened the door and tried to drive the animal out bu. it charged past her. and as she lodged it ran upstairs
 The co-eds formed boar hunt They ormed themselves with brooms, ten nie racouets and ornamental fencing foi,s and clad in kimonos rushed to the carnage. But the pig stood his ground.
 Finally a call for the groundkeeper brought assistance and piggy was dragged out ignominiously with mas culine hand entwined in the curl of his tail.
 The college boys voted 1t the best stunt since fifty of them invaded the girls dormitory in nightshirt pa rade last year.

 No natural division exists, but for conveniences of description 1t is divid- ed into toe, quarters and heels. The wall is thickest and longest at the toe, thinnset and shortest at the heel' a gradual decrease in thickness oc- curing from front to rear. The horn grows downward from the wall, se- creting a coronary substance with equal rapidity but there are certain conditions which influence growth
 Abundant and regular exercise, good grooming in keeping the feet pick,h out and washed out, preserving the moisture and suppleness of the hooI by retaining in it's integrity the ex- ternal layer of horn known as the periople, and at proper intervals re- moving the overgrowth of horn and regulating the bearing surface favor Ihe rapid growth of horn of good qual- | ity, while lacK or eAeIClSS anu Ae1SPA-S the crust, which causes dryness ana brittIeness and excessive length or hoof, hinder growth. Perhaps good and bad feeding also have an innu- ence.
 The average rate of growth is about one-third of an inch month Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs, and, as nature compensates for wear, un- shod hoofs grow faster than shod ones. The actual time required for the horn to grow from the coronet to the ground, besides being influences to a slight degree by the above-men- tioned conditions, of course, varies in proportion to the distance of the coro- net from the ground. As we have said, the wall is longest at the toe and shortest at the heel, while some feet are upright and blocky and others low wide and spreading. At the toe, de pending on its height, the horn grows down in from Il to IS months, at the quarters in from six to eight months and at the heels in from three to nVe
