FINDS A REAL BLockHEAD
Fashioned by Nature on = Red Cedar
u Resembles Huge and
Jolly Garuoyle.

Minneapolis by freak
Of nature. the original "blockhead" of
the Northwest was recently found in
the woods by G. B. Schoepf. No. 3540
Chicago avenue. Its Uranium is a
bulgy cedar knot. It's eyes are grain
lined indentations, its nose a bulge,
and its mouth crease out of which
darts, tongue fashion, a broken
branch. The whole droI creature re-
sembles the head of some jolly squat
individual who had been turned into
wood and was hugely amused at the
necromancy.
While hunting along the bluffs about
two miles above Hastings Mr..
Schoepf, scanning tree tops for game,
saw the fantastic head peering down
at him like a gargoy1e. Instead OF
letting fly with shot from his gun he
investigated the specimen, discover.
ing that it wasn't a new kind of game,
but knot grown to red cedar He
detached the head and has kept it in
his collection of relics since. The
knot has not been touched with a
tool or even veneered, but rubbing
against the sides of the hunters
game bag impaired a polish to the
wood which resembled a rudy glow

Words In English LANGUAGE.

The English language is constantly
growing and almost every persons
vocabulary changes from year to year.
The first edition of Webster's diction-
airy, two quarto volumes, published in
1928, contained 10000 words and this
number was increased by several
thousand in the second edition of
Websters dictionary in 1910. An edi-
ton of 1890 contained 175,000 words
and the latest edition has more than
100000 Many of these are technical,
scientific, or for other reasons re-
stricted to limited use, but neverthe-
less they are words Obviously an
educated man has larger vocabulary,
or command of words, than an unedu-
Gated one and a professional writer or
public speaker needs more than dav
laborer. Shakespeare had vocabu
larry of about $4,000 words, but some
that he used are now obsolete, while
a large number of new ones have been
added Milton used about 5000 words.
1t is not likely that any public speak
er ever uses more than few thou
sand words or the average citizen or
man on the street more than few
hundred.

chamberIain's Recipe for Success.

One night at Lady Jeune's house Jo-
seph Chamberlain said to me that he
believed any man of even moderate en-
dowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre-
hitting effort and enduring to the
end" To my question, why, then, do
so many men fall short of their ambi-
tions?" he answered. They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the first
bridge and at the second. perhaps at
the third; but the dragons are always
more formidable the further we go.
Many turn back disheartened, and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none is willing to
have a try with the demon at the last
bridge; but if he does, ne has won
forever. Princess LaZarovich Hrebe-
lianovich Eleanor Calhoun) in the

FAvoRlTE Dish IN MEXICO
not Tamales Worth Introduction Into
American kitchens-How They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamales is to cook one or two chick
ems until tender. Remove all meat
from the bone, shred it in the chop
ping machine and add to it the liquor
IN which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
pepper, and thickened with cornmeal.
The rolls are about the size of link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks of green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
Doll them for three hours. 1t is best
to taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether it is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one pound
of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful of seed.
ed raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal. Then
stir one and one-half cupfuls of corn
meal into boiling sailed water, add
-one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
a buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour.

FOREST IN AMERICA
Most Remarkable of Natural
Curiosities.

Remarkable fossil forests exist in
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able, it is believed, of the several fos-
sill forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt, in Cali
fornia and in Arizona-because in the
Yellowstone most of the trees were
entombed in their original upright po-
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
SLICED trunks have evidently been car
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the lichen-
covered stumps of kindred living spe-
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore well entitled to be
called true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed, however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass of
volcanic material falling on them
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.
