FIVE CAFES FOR ONE DINNER
Man With Leisure, and Money, Takes
He Time to Enjoy His PrIn-
oIpaI Meal.

An elderly man in evening dress
entered a restaurant in Soho the
other night. The waiter took his hat
and coat, and in a moment brought
him a dish of five oysters and poured
out a glass of water.
The diner, who had not said a
word, ate the oysters thoughtfully,
emptied the glass, paid the waiter,
and in five minutes had left.
"He's off to IS for che soup"
said the waiter. Gle never has more
than one course at any place. With
the soup he will have half a bottle
of white wine and some toast. Then
he will go to third place for the
fish, and to fourth for something
from the grill. With this he viii

never has any sweets or cheese, but
finishes at fifth restaurant, where
he gets the best coffee.
"He told me one evening that he
found out five restaurants in Soho
each Of which excelled in a certain
dish. He says the little walk be-
tween each course helps his digestion.
A dinner takes him about two hours.

WATER ExUDED FROM GRAIN
Wheat Fields PsrspIrs Heavily, 40.
cordlna to British sclentlst--ln-
tenee Heat OF the Tropics.

When you are perspiring furious
ly in the dog days Of this year, it
may or may not console you 10 think
that an ordinary field Of wheat IA
giving off moisture quite as furi-
ously.
Between the months Of April and
July, according to Prof. Sir James
Dewar, a field of wheat transpires
sufficient moisture to cover the sur
face Of its ground to a depth of nine
inches. Another interesting fact is
that it requires three and one-half
pounds Of water to produce sixteen
grains Of corn.
These and other wonders Of heat
and moisture were discussed by Sir
James in lecture to young folk
at the Royal Institution. He mem
toned that the famous vine at
Hampton Court, which has a leaf
surface of 1920 square inches, gave
off in twelve hours two-ffths of q
pound Of water.
Speaking Of the solar radiation In
tropical places, Sir James said that
in six hours about four-tenths Of a
square mile received heat equivalent
to the combustion of 1000 tons OF
coalj while an area Of 1900 square
miles got in one year heat equiva-
lent to one billion tons Of coal-the
whole estimated coal output of Eu-
rope and America.-Londoh Daily

GOOD MAN HAS NO STOMACH
Theory on Which Some African Tribes
Justify the Practice Of Ordeal
by Poison.


How much we may learn from the
unsophisticated savage. From in
quiries that have been made among
certain African tribes 1t seems that
the practice of ordeal by poison is
actually based upon sound reasoning
and undoubted fact. Good men, say
these enlightened aborigines, have
no stomachs. Only bad men have
stomachs, and the spirit Of evil
dwells in the stomach. That is I'M
questionably true. We have observed
it for ourselves. Now If man With
out stomach-and therefore good
swallows poison it cannot do him
any harm but if he has stomach
and is therefore bad-the poison will
kill him. What can be more clear or
better in accord with common knowlA
edge. There are various persons Of
our acquaintance who ought to be
subjected to the.ordeal by poison. We
feel certain that they are bad and
|. therefore have stomachs and would
die. On the other hand, the good
man of conscious rectitude with no
abdominal abiding place for the
spirit of evil could face the test with
out qualm.- Sidney 6. P. Coryn.

WHERE THE SHOE PlNcHEs


Cosmo Hamilton, the English
writer, was talking In New York
about eugenics.

eugenists even think that the tea.
sons for divorce need not be given.
"Such eugenists are like the old
Roman who invented the phrase
where the shoe pinches!'
"This old Roman was reproached
by his friends for divorcing his wife.
They could see no fault in her, they
said. They asked hotly what he
wanted to go and divorce her for.
'The old Roman, by way Of an.

NEW WORDS NOT ADMITTED
Firm stand Taken by Johnson and
Others AgaInst Innovations In
the Language.

Always during the history of.every
tongue men have insisted on main-
tanning a firm stand against the en-
trance into it Of new expressions Of
any sort. In SO doing they have hon
estly believed that they were actuat-
ed not by senseless but by a holy zeal
for purity Of speech. The strongest
sort Of opposition has been FREE
quently offered to the recognition Of
words which it would now seem to
us we could hardly do without. The
feeling existed in high places.
In 1878 the fourth edition Of
Johnson's dictionary was published.
1t was the last edition which APP
peared under his supervision. Bos1
well tells us that he in vain urged
johnson to insert civilization. This
was just then beginning to take the
place of ciyility in the sense of being
opposed to barbarism. He refused
to acknowledge the intruder. HUI
initiating he admitted to be a word
frequently used, but he did not know
it to be legitimate English-what-
ever that means. So, though he in-
serted the noun humiliation, the cor
responding verb and adjective are
not found in his final edition.
Not long after this time develop
ment appeared in the title Of a book.
Its author was sternly informed by
one Of his reviewers that there was
no such word in the language. Will
liam Taylor of Norwich, somewhat
renowned for the peculiar words he
used in his writings, sent an article
to the Monthly Review, in which ocl

was not English, Taylor was In

understood. 1t may be said in pal
liation If not defense Of this action
that it was not until the latter half
of the nineteenth century that the
word became well known, especially
in the sense Of withdrawing .ques-
tionable characters.-Prof. T. r,

To ask for the name of the most

very large and difficult question.
There are great many vegy beautiful
cities in the world, each Of which

arise. Lovely places are to be found
by the score in every country Of the

it is probable that Palermo, Sicily,
