INTELLECTUAL RUMoR.

The region of intellectual humor,
which may be roughly illustrated by
such sayings as that of George Sand
that nothing is such restorative as
rhetoric, or the claim advanced by a
patriot that Shakespeare was undoubt-
edly a Scotchman, on the ground that
his talents would justify the supposi-.
ton. The humor of George Sands
epigram depends upon the perception
that rhetoric, which ought to be based
upon a profound conviction, an over
whelming passion, an intense enthusi-
asm, is often little more than the
abandonment of a personality to a
mood of intoxicating ebulience; while
the humor of the Shakespeare story
lies in a sense of the way in which
a national prediction will override
all reasonable evidence.-A. C. Ben
son, in "At Large"

Lucy went home next day, for a
telegram from her father arrived, an

found. Mr.. Wainwright had accepted

GOAT SKIN CHURNS

Goat skin churns are tho proper
thing in the Asiatic deserts. They
are the unique butter-making contriv-
ances of the world. These churns re-
semble gigantic footballs. varying in
size according to the extent OF the
family. They are constructed OF
goats skin sewed together in the
form Of ball with the hair side in.
Cream is run into these bags until
they are about half full, and the bal
ance OF the space is filled with air
from the churner's lungs. Then these
churns are suspended from three
sticks and a rocking motion begun.
The air on the inside is calculated
to aid in coaxing the butter from the
cream. After the churning the prod
uct is strained through cloth, for the
goats hair has q tendency TO shed
during the violent operations.

AS the days wore away Lucy began
to feel less and less comfortable in
her new surroundings There was an
atmosphere Of worldliness and insin-
cerity which almost terrified her at
times. The ways Of her cousins were
so different from those in her father s
household!
Her mother had died two years be-
fore and her father had been called
west on an important business mat
ter. Lucy could hardly go home to
an empty house. For this reason she
tries hard to adjust herself until the
end of her visit should arrive,
Another thing which troubled her
was Tom Lawson's evident liking for
her society, and her own growing pre-
dilecton for the young man. Money
had not spoiled him, at any rate.
She was half afraid of arousing her
cousins jealousy, but Mile, who had
not failed to notice Lucy's friendship
for Tom, laughed at it.
It's fortunate you're Only poor
country mouse" she sai4, "and not
likely to attract Tom, or Else I should
be jealous of you Tom positively
seems anxious 70 start a Irritation
with you"
Lucy resolved to keep away from
Tom. But one afternoon he came in
Unexpectedly, when Mile and her
mother were out driving They did
not often take Lucy with them.
MY cousin is out" said Lucy, as
she opened the door, anticipating the
servant. Lucy did not know that that
was not considered good manners.
Her idea of hospitality was to well
come her guest in person.
I'm glad Of It," said Tom brusque-
ly. 81 didn't come to see Mile;
came to see you"
Mr. Lawson!" stammered Lucy in
dignanty.
He came in and sat down in a chair.
My fathers lost every penny" he
said bluntly The house is going to
be sold and I'm going to work.
wanted to tell you"
Me-" asked Lucy, feeling her
heart throb unpleasantly, and con-
scious that she was looking extremely
foolish. why me?"
Because" began Tom, and sud
denly caught her in his arms and
kissed her.
Poor Lucy! 1t was her first expert
ence Of love- She tried SO hard to
think what she should do. And all
the while she was debating whether
to box his ears or to reprove him in
dignantly she was lying passively in
his arms. And then she found that
she was crying.
"There Forgive mel" said Tom.
'I'm a cad, know Lucy, do you
know l have loved you every minute
since l saw you? Haven't you cared
for me a little bit?"
Yes answered Lucy truthfully.
"But Mile"
The thought maddened her; she
sprang out Of his arms and hurried
from the room.
She began to pack her trunk. She
could not remain there any longer.

WHERE MOTOR CARS ABOUND

Few South American cities, in pro-
portion to the number Of inhabitants,
show as many automobiles in use as
Montevideo, Uruguay, yet the number
is increasing very considerably, ac-
cording to a recent consular report
Recently no less than 115 high-priced
cars entered the port and we're sold.
There are now more than 1900
licensed cars in Montevideo, about
1000 being the total for the whole
republic. The main cause Of this
large number is the 100 miles Of mac
adamized road which traverses a fine
agricultural country. A motor car can
negotiate all parts of the republic
when the streams@are not in food. OF
the machines in use those Of American
manufacture number about one-half Of
the total

Lucy anxiously,

Lucy's cousin. "Of course when a

old are you, Lucy?" Millie continued
Just twenty" Lucy answered.
Then you have five years to wait,
my dear" said Millie. Come, let us
go downstairs. Tom will be here in
few minutes and | want you to meet
him"
Lucy was visiting her cousiVs in
Virginia This was the day of her ar
rival, and Millie had just conhded to
her the news Of her engagement.
Tom Lawson was the son OF old
Peter Lawson, whose speculations in
Mexican oil fields were reported TO
have netted him fabulous amount
OF money. And when Tom came in
Lucy had to admit that he looked a
rich mans son. The high-power auto
mobile, his faultless clothes, his uni
versity manner made him splendid
catch for any girl But what Lucy
liked most about Tom lawson was
just himself.
How she envied Mile that night
as she lay awake, her mind busy
with the memories OF the day. The
Wainwrights came of a good old fam
fly, but Miles family seemed to ac-
quire all the money, while Lucy's re-
NAMED poor. The magnifcence OF
her cousins home was like wonder
world to Lucy.
She did not know that they were
living upon their capital, and that
Miles shrewd mother had staked
her fortunes upon her daughters
making a brilliant match.
Mile had certainly done her credit.
It was to be a marriage Of youth and
health and plenty Of cash thrown in.

BROKEN HEARTS A REALITY

We often hear of broken hearts, and
usually with a smile Of incredulity.
Medical science has discovered that a
literally broken heart is by no means
as uncommon as one might fancy.
Heart failure as a cause OF death is
about as satisfactory as to say "one
dies for lack of breath" heart failure
being merely a result Of clearly de-
fined conditions. Broken hearts can
easily be brought about by diet of
sweetmeats, with a free use Of fer
mented liquors. These weaken the
tissues of the heart, and pave the way
for a sudden dissolution. 1t has been
supposed that the fatty degenration
of heart was an incurable disease, but
this is another popular error, as such
conditions are cuTable by suitable
diet and proper medical treatment.
