And Now It's Straw.

A German scientist has announced a
discovery by which straw Of the common
garden variety may be made into
wholesome. nourishing food. Whether the
new cereal is to be tempting to the appe-
tite or not the report does not say. but
presumably it is to be a taste that can
be acquired.
Why not straw? Man is partly an her
biyorous animal and just look at the way
horses consume this delicacy. True they
would usually eat oats if they had a
chance, but then they don't draw the
line at straw. And just because our teeth
are not equal to the task of munching it
is no reason why we shouldn't follow suit.
For this ingenious German has invented
a process whereby this most common Of
all things that grow can be converted
into tabloid form and made suitable for
our daily fare. 1t is something Of re-
lief, at least. that he doesn't advocate
our serving it as breakfast food au
natural
Isn't it amazing how interested We be-
come whenever any one suggests the pos
sibility Of our adding hitherto supposedly
inedible products to our list of possible
food? Just a few months ago one of the
government farmers bulletins came out
with the statement that popcorn was a
good and nourishing breakfast food. and
although We had only thought Of this
product as something that we had
rnunched at picnics in our childhood we
Immediately welcomed its new possibili
ties. If someone should discover that po-
tato pealings and tea grounds, that we
had been looking down upon all these
ages, were really good to eat we would
be delighted. 1t is such a pleasant
thought to think there are new foods
under the sun, although We may be neg
lecting ma,sy good and economical things
that we have known about for all our
lives. For instance, few people in this
part of the world make adequate use of
rice, or macaroni. or hominy, which
ideally combine the qualities of cheapness
and wholesomeness, and when properly
cooked are also ideally tasteful.
Yet here comes a German scientist who
says that straw is very good to eat and
we all feel a hankering to taste this
newest of all possible cereals.

4 BIRTHDAY
AND Yours
April 2+Hannah Smell.

One of the few women of history who
have gained fame as soldiers is Hannah
Smell whose birthday occurred l92 years
ago today. She was the daughter OF
London hosier of no distinction who died
leaving Hannah an orphan at seventeen.
She went to live with her married sister.
the wife Of a carpenter, and before long
had been married herself by Fleet
street parson to a Dutch seaman. named
Summs. This husband proved to be
source of great trouble and finally de-
serted her after the birth Of their first
child.
Far from being crushed by this blow
Hannah's fighting blood was reused and
leaving her infant with her sister she
started out in a suit of mems clothes,
borrowed from her brother-in-law. in
pursuit Of her worthless husband. Reach
ing Coventry she enlisted in a regiment
and marched with them on foot to Car
lisle. Here, owing to neglect Of duty.
she was sentenced to 600 lashes, but hav-
ing received 500 OF these she deserted
and Joined the marines on board an East
Indiaman. Here her pleasant manners
recommended her to the officers who
made her assistant steward and cook
to the officers mess.
Landing in North Africa she was active
in several engagements in one of which
she was wounded and her Identity would
have been discovered had 1t not been
for the fact that she crawled away from
the scene Of battle and engaged the help
of a native woman who nursed her back
to full health Hannah rejoined her
marines and became very popular, being
known as Molly because of her girlish
appearance. Hearty Jenny was an
other name that she was called. her as
sumed name being James Grey.
In Lisbon Hannah heard the news that
her husband had been executed in Genoa
not long before and so the excuse for
Hannah's escapade was at an end
But her reputation was made and for
several years she reaped a good income
from her writings. Before many years
had passed she was remarked and after
that she opened . public house with the
sign Of THE Female Warrior over the
door.

Art of Receiving.

Many people know how to give who
do not know how to receive. 1t Is as
great an art to do the one as to do the
other. II We did but recognize the fact.
The part of a giver Is an easy one to
assume: the advantage is really all on
one side. But to take a thing prettily
-ah. that requires doing. 1t needs
the true good breeding of the heart.
Any one can say formal thank
you but to make the giver glow with
the feeling that she has found exactly
the right present. that is indeed an art
worth acquiring. And 1t should not
be difficult to acquire il one has a
natural sense of politeness and a wish
to give pleasure. Even II the gift is a
poor thing. or one which embarrasses
its recipient. one should never let the
fact appear. The thought that
prompted the deed should be the rea-
son of our gratitude, and If that is kept
in view. it will not be hard to say the
right thing.
