IIPiCAL DINNER iN FRANCE
Princess Hassan Tells of a Meat and It's Service in the Land Of
 True spicures.

A typical French dinner-not an exceptional one, mark you but such a dinner as a small tradesman's fam fly would have-4s .ncomparably su- periGr to the plain roast dinner.
 There would be. first of all, a few re:lshes, according to the season Of tha Eear Radishes, ice cold sardnes, oliv-s caviar Just little of each with which to awaken the appetite, theD the soup to excite gently the liquids of the throat and stomach. then little entree-usually a bit of fish with it's appropriate vegetable, pr handful of vegetables favored with meat sauce. Then, and not till then, does the chief course appear.
 It may be roast, or game, or chicken, or chops, but in no case will 1t be anything which is not in har- mony with the previous courses and it wDl be eaten in moderation, for the sdge Of the diners appetite will have been dulled by the lighter foods which have preceded it. With it comes the salad--varied throughout the year by all the possible changes of the sea son, and never, never by any possi- bility will it be such dreadful green hybrid as the romaine, strawberry and green pepper thing. After the salad there will be fruit or mellow cheese, and then coffee. It will take two hours to eat such dinner, but 1t will take only half what the typical American dinner costs to pay for 1t, and there will be no indigestion aft erward, no matter of what the din- her is mposed.--Princess Hassan in an Interview by Louise Rice in the Delineator.

curtnQ Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! \ stick of wood in Q lumber yard may bs sick and infect other timbers, which later may develop the disease when they are supporting weights in a new building. Some of the diseases are SC contagious that in . building they will jump several feet across masonry or brick to some stick of healthy wood Cures were recently discussed by the American Society of Mechanical En' gineers.
 Most of the diseases are varieties of dry rot caused by . fungus. and most of the varieties of dry rot fungus can not stand heat much over 100 degrees; 60 the most likely cure is to close . building up tight, if any beams are in' fected, and heat 1t up to 120 or 40 de- grees. Even this is not always sue cessful, for ends of beams are buried in the outer brick walls and the heat may not reach them.-Saturday Eve ming Post.

GIVE THIS 4 LITTLE THOUGHT
There Is Point to This imported Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
 To Look for 1t,

This is not an American joke. Ths reader is solemnly warned that it is of German extraction. Germans as everybody knows. like their jests broad and brutal. The victim of this one was Cousin Hugo.
 It seems Cousin Hugo made a night of 1t and got home as the small hours began to cease to be so small. As he climbed the stairs he stumbled Gin spite of the most elaborate care) and rolled down into the hall below. The consequence. for Cousin Hugo is not 50 young as he used to be, was brok- en collarbone and a strained back. Ahead even of the milkman, then, came the family doctor, an estimable old gentleman, and administered soothing words while he encased the patient in plaster.
 T know, my dear sir." he said. that 1t hurts like the deuce, but 1t Is not a bit dangerous. All the same you'll have to stay in bed for while. You got a nasty fall. How did it happeni Was 1t dark?"
 "It was not, doctor" replied Cousin Hugo with some asperity. Tt was light"

Says Ant Do Not co-operate.

II, Cornetz, a .practised observer o9 insect life. asserts that ants know nothing of cooperation in their soctaa life. In proof he cites an experiment which any one can repeat Offer an ant . piece of cheese shaped Ake . shuttle; 1t seizes the tip. turns t about and starts dragging it in tho d. rection of its nest. Other ants arx4vs and seize the cheese by it's sides. II continues to advance. but more slowly. There is no united effort: each ant Is trying to turn the crumb of cheese around. If we chase of the ants oD the right the cheese will turn to th' right, for the other ants are pushing 1t. Chase off those on the left and Ii turns to the left for the same reason. Chase of the one that Is pulling 1t and 1t stands still, for the ants on each slde counteract each other.
 M. Cornetz holds this proof that each ant is acting for himself alone.

Moon and Volcanoes.

It is evident that if the earth's iIl- ternal mass is liquid it must obey the law that governs fluids. Scientists have tried, therefore, to find some re- lationship between volcanic eruptions and lunar attractions. -- Harper's s N Neekly.
