THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

You can prevent a steamed pud
ding from becoming heavy by pnt-
ting a cloth over the steamer before
placing the lid on. This prevents

This put another idea into Iimmie's

He asked his mother for money to buy
another valentine to send to a little
girl she very much approved Of. and
she gave it to him. This time the
clerk who served him was woman.
and he asked her to address the en-
velope to Mr.. Barker. Then between
daylight and dark. seeing the bachelor
looking out Of Il window. he ran past

The next day Mr. Barker began in

one to introduce him to the widow.

Actions and Words.

An Italian psychologist maintains
that as an orators gestures are invOl
untary. they afford test Of his sin
rerity.
For instance. If the speaker plays
with bis watch chain he Is on his
guard and his utterances are not en-
tirely frank.
Should he sway his body from side
to side 1t Is a sign Of versatility and
Of an active mind, while a constant
repetition Of the same gesture is held
to indicate that his heart is In the sub,
ject and that he Is sincere.
There would seem to be some incon
sistency In this. since the orator might
fiddle with his watch chain every few
minutes.
The idea recalls the remark of a wit.

his military forces and resist an in

.GtioRalists to enter Mckee City City
out previous agreement not to wreak
vengeance on the lives and property
of those who had supported General
Huerta.
This was the information received
from authoritative sources in Mexico
City by Washington diplomats. 1t In
duced pesimism in some quarters over
the possibility OF an amicable settle
ment of the revolution.
Another aspect of the situation that
was commented upon was that Car
rama, while informing the American
consul at Monterey that he would re-
ceive a commission from Carvajal,
made 1t plain that he would do so only
to arrange for unconditional surren-
der.
Fear is still felt that Villa will carry
his quarrel with General Carranza to
the point of revolt, and will plunge
Mexico into a new civil war far more
bitter than the one just ending. AT
the Constitutionalist junta the official
denials of trouble with Villa were less
emphatic than heretofore. Friends of
Villa weer more confident in their as
sertions that Villa would "get what
