JACKS NOVEL POCKET PIECE
Had Carried Snail Around In Pocket
Until Children Were snusiy Set
tied for Bedtime Talk.

When the children were snugly set
tied for the bedtime talk Jack nshed
ND a snail shell from the depths OF
his pocket, where he had been carry
ing It all day for this occasion. Tell
us all about that" he said. I often
find them in the garden, but there Is
never anything in them. l know that
the shells couldn't get there all alone,
but why do we never see the snatls =
Because the snail is usually tucked
safely away inside the SHE'LL" NAM
ma answered, "and knows too much
to come out when curious little boys
are around If you will go into the
garden some warm sunny day just
after a shower, you will perhaps be
able to find a snail dragging himself
and his house along one Of the walls.
When the weather is dry or cold they
close the door of their house with a
kind of membrane that they manufac-
ture themselves, just as the spider
makes it's web or the silkworm its
cocoon. During the winter they find
shelter somewhere in a crevice, or
make a hole in the ground, which
they cover with dead leaves. Here
they remain safe and warm until the
first spring rains call them out in
search of food.
"The snail has almost as many
teeth as the fly has eyes, often having
one or two hundred rows Of them. 1t
knows how to use them too, and often
does great mischief to gardens with
them. Some gardeners catch and de-
stroy them by spreading cabbage
leaves on the ground to attract them.
"The body of the snail is very soft,
and it has four horns, two long ones
and two short ones. You will notice
two tiny black spots at the end of
the long horns. These are the eyes;
and if you look very closely when the
snail first puts out his horns, you will
see these eyes move up until they
reach the tips.
I'm some countries snails are con-
sidered good to eat. The ancient
Romans kept them in an Enclosure
made for that purpose, and fed them
on meal and boiled wine until they
were fattened and ready for the table.
The most wonderful thing about the
snail is it's power to heal its own in
juries. 1t is one of the most remark
able physicians on earth, but its only
patient is itself. Not only Is it able
to heal wounds on any part of it's
body, but even the head may be cut
of, and another one will grow

Al LUNCHEON IN sINGkEP
Seemingly Peculiar Combination ct
Foods Which Traveller Declares
70 BE Delicious.

Singkep is explained by woman
traveller to be, not nation or dis
ease or book, but place, little
known island in the Lower China sea.
There she found household customs
among the dominant class, the Dutch,
a good deal Influenced by native Gus
tom.
Dutch ladies, she says. appear at
breakfast in Malay sarong and kabiya,
than which no oriental dress upon an
alien was ever more uncomfortable
or less aesthetic The sarongs In
themselves, six feet long by about
three In width, may be very artistic.
Made chiefly in Java, they are fire.
quently painted by hand in charac-
teristic designs. Even cheap ones are
interesting, and when woven of native
silk are soft and lovely. But tightly
swathed in a sarong, even ones mind
is compressed Standing and walking
are uncomfortable, and sitting down
an unthought luxury.
Breakfast is not unlike that meal In
other hot countries, but tifin at
one o'clock, the "rice table" of the
tropical Hollander, is a meal to be
remembered. Chinese house boys, one
for each member of the family, ap-
pear first with deep soup plate, In
which one is expected to place lib
eral supply of delicately boiled rice.
A small piece Of fish, sometimes sew
eral varieties, meat of two or three
sorts, young onions, cucumbers cut
lengthwise, ducks eggs already soaked
for month in salt water are added,
and an indefinite number of sauces,
hot and fiery, or sour like pickles, q
few somewhat sweeter, one or two
slightly oily.
When all these apparently conflict.
ing elements are put upon the long
suffering substratum of rice, a fork
and dessert spoon, judiciously used,
stir the whole mass into an indescrib-
able conglomeration which from its
description might not be thought es-
pecially delicious. In reality it is ex-
cellent, especially as one soon learns
to discriminate in sauces. And this is
merely first course. Afterward the
luncheon progresses by normal stages
to it's finish with black Java coffee.
Such a meal combined with the eli
mate, offers inducements to prolong-
ed and none-deferable repose. Emery
ing for tea at five o'clock, the sarong
Is found to be, happily, thing of the
past. More civilized summer gar
ments are in evidence But with the
quick nightfall comes an evening of
unprecedented length before the ten
o'clock dinner is announced.

CHAPTER xxI-contInues

OnAF ! Eh NNJs-ConIInu9os
This Sunday was the first real day
Of rest that Napoleon had enjoyed for
a long time. He found perfect peace
in the company of his mother and
wife. Nobody knew he had returned.
The surprise that swept over the
members of the staff when he APP
peared In congress Monday morning
was great.
AS Napoleon arose the great hall
became instantly silent He bowed
he said:
Honorable President and Repre-
sentatives, before all else. want to
thank you for your kind reception"
A loud 'ehurrah!" stopped him for a
moment Then he continued: There
have been SO many changes since /
went away that can hardly express
my opinion, particularly In regard to
the political affairs of the present. l
am very glad to see that congress
realizes its duty, and that every mem
Der is prepared for action. / place my
faith In its wisdom and hope that it
will know its duty and do 1t accord
ingly.
"Compatriots, greet you ALL"
A sigh of satisfaction swept over
the hall when Napoleon, after this
short speech, sat down. An air of UNI
certainty prevailed; they had expect
ed so much from him and had re-
ceived nothing definite. The speaker
OF the house then opened the session.

that the strike was labor's best and

capital is labor's eternal enemy.
He also declared that the preachers

who thought capital and labor were
friends. We are one of the news
