The famous whispering gallery Of
st. Paul's cathedral London, is reach

library. This gallery, which is about
210 feet above the cathedral floor, is
noted for curious echo and is so
named because whisper uttered near

audible to person standing on the
other side. IA distance of 1OS feet in a

Trivial Cause of a Bloody War.

In the year 1864 a Polish nobeman
became obnoxious to the laws Of his
country by reason of his having COM
mitted crime He fed to Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir. king Of Po-
land. wrote to Charles Gustavus. king
of Sweden. demanding the surrender
of the criminal The king Of Sweden
on reading the dispatch noticed that
his own name and titles were follow
ed by two let ceteras." while the name
of the king of Poland was followed
by three. The missing 'et cetera" so
enraged the king of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1860. when peace was
signed at DIVA. near Danzig. A con-
temporary writer tKochowsky, poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: How dear has this 'et
cetera' been to us. With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams of blood has the failure
of a few drops of ink been avenged!

Ones Own Company.

One Of the tests of character Is the
ability of man to find satisfaction
without egotism--in his own society.
One who cannot be alone without a
miserable restlessness must be the vic
tim of structural defect in his per-
sOnality. The well stored mind pro-
vides company enough for an occasion
al interval Of solitude. He who has
read well and thought much and care
fully observed has introduced himself
to society which will afford him en-
tertainment when none. in the flesh.
is present. If man is afraid to be
alone it must be because he is afraid
Of his own thoughts or because his
thoughts are few and scattered and
cannot fill the vacuity. Some of us
cannot afford to think. when. as the
poet puts it. but to think is to be
full of SORROW" AT such time we
catch eagerly at any diversion that
puts to rout the shadows.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

How He Learned EnoIish.

Wing See some years ago came to
New York from San Francisco to see
the big city before returning to his ma
tive land. where he hoped to live on
the money which he had saved. He
wanted to learn a little English and
rented room on the east side over
store. He was a quiet man of good
habits and soon made himself useful
in the store. where he gave his time in
exchange for the language experience.
After six months he was ready to go
to China. and after all arrangements
for his trip had been made he went to
Chinatown to show his English. He
was surprised to find that his English
speaking countrymen did not under
stand him and finally learned to his
horror that he had lived in a German
district and had learned German by
mistake.-New York Tribune.

SECRET OF GOOD BREAD.

Ventilated Place.
Here is secret that many house
wives do not know and even some pro-
fessional bakers do not understand.
Flour should be kept in dry. well
ventilated place. The temperature
should be about 70
To make good bread -four should be
aged-that is. it should be kept dry
and preferably where the air can reac h
1t. Some persons warm sack of
-four and think that this will dry and
age it. hut such treatment does not
reach the middle of the -four.
Experiments show that when -four is
aged properly there is a slight loss of
moisture. but the -four will absorb
more water. In one test freshly
ground sack of -four after sixty DAYS
lost little over one pound in weight,
but 1t gained so much in absorption
that ii made n gain Of several pounds

to the air and also to keep a quantity
of flour sifted and ready for use.-New

WITH MARK TWAIN
FORTY YEARS AGO
John p. Vollmer Recalls Trip To
the Coast With Humorist
in 7Os.

Tribune: Lewiston can boast of
the distinction of having had among
its citizens one whose name has gone
forward throughout the civilized worl'
and will stand there so long as books
will endure.
OF this fact mention is made in the
great story of Albert Bigelow Paine's
biography of Mark Twain on page
1862 of the first volume, wherein it is
disclosed that John p. Vollmer was
in measure a collaboration of the i'm
mortal humorist, having assisted with
the arrangement of the papers of "In-
nocents Abroad" and furnished some
of the material for Captain Storm
fields Visit to Heaven" and Life on
the Mississippi"
A message just received by Mr..
Vollmer from A. N. Marquis & Co.,
publishers, Chicago, who issue the
publication who's Who" giving data
as to the leading citizens of the states
of the union, revived in Mr.. Voll-
mer's mind the incidents of over 40
years ago, when as a companion of the
late lamented Mark Twain he made
the journey from New York to San
Francisco. In the recently-issu BIZ
ography of Mark Twain by Albert
Bigelow Paine, the latter makes ref
erence to Mr.. Vollmer being a com
nj IN h. frs, Nf
by way Of the isthmus, and the Chi
cago publishing house, now engaged in
the annual revision of The publication
who's Who" sent the message for
further data. Mark Twain was re-
turning from a trip to Europe and
met Mr.. Vollmer the day before their
boat sailed for the isthmus, the two
remaining companions on the 22-days
journey to San Francisco. Twain had
with him the manuscripts of limo
cents Abroad" and the arrangements
of these received his attention in as
ISOLATION with Mr.. Vollmer. This
publication was a short time later to
launch Twain on his road to fame.
Much of the material for Captain
Stormfield's Visit to Heaven" also re-
ceived attention on the trip. Twain
soliciting suggestions from his com
panions, so that when the publication
later appeared it was not difficult
for Mr.. Vollmer to closely locate the
definite Origin of hte thoughts that
became nodded into Twains' rich
humor. Twain's other close compan-
ion on the trip was Major Bright.
Mr.. Vollmer speaking yesterday of in
cidents of the journey said that a
remarkable contradiction in Twain's
character was that, while he seemed
to love to perpetrate a joke ON an
other, he was not 80 appreciative
when he was made the butt" of
some other fellows conception of a
joke. This resentment in instances
even went to the point of perman-
ent estrangement.
Mark Twain's estrangement was
caused by Mr.. Vollmer inappropri-
ately exploding good joke at
Twain's expense In Sanfrancisco
and then failing from foolish and boy
ish pride and lack of generation to
make some proper and timely apol-
ogy, circumstance Mr. Vollmer has
greatly regretted ever since.

ECONOMIST
ON FEED

Extract from Breeders Ga
zette, Dec. IL, 1913.
'At the Sherman ranch the
filters of a bunch of thirty
sows were divided evenly, to
one lot was given the regular
piggrowing ration; to the 9th.
er lot the same feed with the
addition of a little DIGESTER
TANKAGE daily"
"These pigs were weighed July
8, after being ON the feeds for
thirty days. those receiving
tankage weighed 1873 pounds
each while those not receiving
tankage weighed 14.2 pounds
each. On Nov. 16, the same
pigs were weighed again and
those that were having tank
age with their regular feed
weighed lila pounds, while
those that received no tankage
weighed only 65.1 pounds each.
This showed a gain OF 95.5
pounds for each hog receiving
tankage against 500 pounds for
each of the hogs not receiving
tankage".
The owner says: 1.-The
growth and thrift of the tankage
fed hogs, the absence of runts
and the uniformity of the lot
was quite noticible. Soon after
commencing the pigs having
tankage were much thriftier,
their appetites were better,
were more satisfied, stood the
hot weather better and in
every way looked better. 1t
seemed to satisfy the craving
for stimulating protein and
bone building phosphates, which
elements are not supplied in
the proper proportion in our
ordinary grain foods. The hog
by nature Is a semi-carnivorous
animal and anything with a
meat flavor or containing meat
touches its appetite"
