Stupid Beginning Of Great 0enlusss.


The finer individual qualities arc often
late in revealing themselves. It is the
older, racial tendencies that rule In child
hood. Irritation ut restraint, irrespon.
sibility, and primitive Incidence. are TO
be expected. Some mature slowly and
are called stupid. George Eliot learned
to read with difficulty. }Thorwaldsen,
the sculptor, spent three years In one
class In tho village school; Burger, the
poet Of German ballads, required several
years to learn the Latin forms; and Al
fieri, the italian poet, was dismissed by
bis teachers, 90 backward was he. Were
1t necessary, the list might be indefinite
~ extended by adding Newton, Byron,
Ibsen, Walter Pater, Pierre Curie, ana
others. Sometimes seeming stupidity Is
due to interest in subjects outside the
little circle round which the tethered
children are allowed to Craze. Fulton,
Watt, and Sir Humphry Davy, 10 early
childhood, were already busy with the
experiments which we're to be told to
children after the teachers who called
them stupid were forgotten.
Tolstoy, Goethe, and Dean Swift wore
refused their degrees because they failed
In their university examinations, and,
for the same reason, Ferdinand Bruno
there was denied admission to the Ecole
Normale Superieure. At Cambridge,
also, Sir William Thomson was not q
senior wrangler, though one of the exam.
iners admitted that "the successful COM
petitor was not fit TO cut pencils for
Thomson" When asked Why he had
delayed 90 long on one of the problems
which he himself had discovered,
Thomson replied that, having forgotten
that 1t was one of his own inventions, he
bad worked 1t as q wholly new problem.
Later it was learned that the winner OF
the prize wrote the solution from
memory.

Making Work Easier.

One vital secret of making ones work
easier In hot weather is to buy food In
small quantities. Let the grocer and
butcher keep the food fresh 10 their big
ice boxes. Even If you have to make
more trips to them, you will save dollars
by not having to throw out spoiled
meats, vegetables and fruits.
Shun big roasts unless the family is
large; small steaks, chops, outlets,
chicken croquettes, veal and beef loaves,
sweetbreads, kidney, heart and tender.
lOins,-these offer great variety In the
way of preparation and are just az
wholesome and much cheaper than big
roasts; but the less meat We eat In hot
weather the better for US. Many house.
wives only serve meat once week dur.
ing July and August. Eggs are the
most popular substitute.
Foreigners have learned the art of
serving vegetables cold with oil, vinegar,
chopped parsley and hint of onion.
Asparagus, tomato, caulifower, string
beans, beets and spinach, are the best
liked for cold service.

the rectum; short, dry cough; grinding Of
the teeth; little red points sticking out on
tongue; starting during sleep; slow fever;
pulse quickened and irregular; body maybe
hot; and often, in children, commissions.

FRUIT FED RATS OF UGANDA.
By the Natives They Arc Regarded a.
Dainty Dish.

The idea Of eating rats Is so repui-
siye to us that we cannot lmugile sucn
thing unless one were driven to 1t by
starvation. The people of Uganda.
however. eat rats not from necessity
but BECAUSE they like them. The rat
Of Uganda. however. is very different
frcu the little creature that gnaws
holr In our cupboards. This rat Is
niue! burger. 1t Is more than a foot
long and is therefore quite a substan-
tin! ninal and as we'll worth cooking
rs .abbit.
The wonderful thing about this rat Is
that 1t has two mouths. one behind the
pther. The first mouth has a pointed
ratlike nose and Is furnished with two
rows Of sharp white teeth. with which
It bites Off its food aud passes 1t on to
the second mouth. which is placed just
above the throat. This mouth also has
two rows of teeth. but one long slender
tongue serves for both sets Of grinders.
Rats are not only eaten In Uganda.
but they are regarded rs delicacy.
The king among his many retainers
has one whose duty It Is to furnish the
royal table with rats. A rat catcher Is
hot an exalted person usually. but In
Uganda he is looked upon with respect
and walks with an air Of dignity. He
goes out rat hunting daily and general
ly tiads his game among the young
banana trees or in any place where
fallen fruit or berries may be found.
for this is what the rat lives on. Slen-
der shoots Of bamboo or banana or
fruit and leaves are his food, and this

4 CAMPAIGN OF ODDITIES.
When the Log Cabin and Hard cids

When the Log Cabin and Hard Cider
Enthusiasts Rsioieed.
Political enthusiasm has taken many
forms during the lifetime Of this ma
tion. The Harrison-Van Buren, presi'
Dental campaign Of 1910 was in some
respects the most remarkable the coun.
try has ever seen. "From May till No
vember," says one historian. ut seemed
as If all ablebodied citizens simply
went about In professions to attend
mass meetings"
The great oddly Of the campaign
was the log cabin. the coon and the Ct.
der barrel. The log cabin idea origi'
mated with an opposition paper which
had said slightingly that civilian
Henry Harrison better 90 back to In
diana and stay there in bis log cabin
drinking hard cider"
The taunt was taken up by Harri
sons followers. Log cabins sprang up
all over the Union. In every town
there was a house warming. and the log
cabin was thrown open to the public
amid general rejoicing. On the roof
was a live raccoOn. and a barrel OF
cider stood before the door. where any
one who desired might drink all he
chose.
1t was a campaign Of oddities. Some
Of the symbols have never been sur
passed for genuine absurdity.-Maga'

A Widows Curious Cap.

A very curious cup forms the "wid

in one part Of the great island cont

Murray river 1t is the custom for wild

departed lords. Then after shaving
their heads they cover them with pipe
clay kneaded into paste. The head
Is FIST covered with net to prevent
the clay from sticking too tightly tc
the skin, a misfortune which is partly
averted by the amount Of grease with
which every Australian native is anoint
ed. A layer Of this clay several inches
in thickness is plastered over the head
