DRIVEN TO THE LAST DITCH
Just Ono More Visitor and Mrs. Mink
Ter Would Have Served Her
"PIe-PuddInq."

"That's the third time" observed
Mrs. Millsap, who was visiting country
relatives, that I've heard reference
made to Mrs. Minkler's pie-pudding,'
and it usually brings out laugh. II
there's any joke about it, I'd like to
hear it."
We'll, I'll tell you the story" said
one of the cousins. Mrs Minkler told
1t herself, so 1t won't do any harm to
pass it on. Perhaps you've observed
that we speak of the pie-pudding when
we have to divide up something into
unusually small portions; and pos
sibly, since you are not acquainted
with Mrs Minkler, the joke may not
strike you just as it did US. But here
it Is:
Mrs. Minkler does the cooking for
her family of four, and as she isn't in
love with the science Of cookery, it's
very little in the way of extras the
family gets. Mrs Minkler says she
considers apple sass and molasses'
a good enough dessert for anyone.
We'll, one day, for a special treat,
she baked pie for dinner, allowing
quarter apiece for each member of the
family. But while she was preparing
dinner her sister-in-law looked into the
kitchen and announced that two
cousins had come over from Rushville
to spend the day.
'Shucks!' said Mrs. Minkler Now
Ill have to cut the pie into six pieces
"A half hour later, two neighbors,
Judge and Mrs. Peters called, and Mr..
Minkler asked them to stay for din
ner. to which they agreed
Mercy sakesl' grumbled Mrs.
Minkler. Now I'll have 10 cua the pie
into eight pieces
Just as dinner was being dished up,
who should drop in butsan old bachelor
friend of the family from the other
side of town, and he also accepted an
invitation to take dinner
'Amenda Jane declared the exas-
perated Mrs Minkler to her sisfer-in-
law, I'll make out to cut that pesky
pie into nine pieces, but tell you
now 1t won't stand any more cutting
than that. If single other person
'omes here to dinner today, III squash
he pie up, dish it round with sass on
it, and call it pudding. Youths

oId-Time Warfare.

Naval guns possessed no sights at
the beginning of the last century.
A line was scored on each gun in
order to assist the aim, but, being of
thicker metal near the breech than
the muzzle, the line did not even rep
resent the axis of the gun.
Just before the battle of Copen-
hagen, Nelson was asked If he would
interview an inventor who wished to
demonstrate before him the value of a
simple form of sights that would en-
able the gunner to hit accurately an
object at distance.
IF the person comes" said the
great little man, 81 shall, of course,
look at it, or be happy, IL necessary,
to use it. But / hope we shall be
able, as usual, to get so close to our
enemies that our shot cannot miss
the object. Answers.

Rebels Use Portable Ice Plant.

Gen. Francisco Villa, commanding
the constitutional forces in the north
of Mexico, had portable ice-making
apparatus constructed for the use Of
his army and hospital corps during
his later operations. The machinery,
which is capzble of producing 500
pounds of ice at one time, Is divided
into two sections and mounted on
substantial trucks which are attached
to motor vehicles and transported
when the army is on the march. The
engine, cooling tower and other of the
equipment are arranged on one truck,
while the freezing tanks, 20 in num-
Der, and each with a capacity of rs
pounds, are carried in refrigeration
box on another.-Popular Mechanics

FOR PURE AIR ALL THE TIME
"Fiends" Urged to Keep Up Campaign
Against Pneumonia and Tu-
hercuIosis.

There are two diseases-tubercu
sis and pneumonia-that are really
house diseases" says the Youths
Companion. They destroy thousands
of lives every year, and cost the COM
munity millions Of dollars, chiefly be-
cause there are not enough "fresh-air
fiends" to insist on the clear air in
which such diseases cannot flourish.
By and by, when the nagging has &C
complished its purpose, these two
scourges will get under control. But
that time will not come until we have
good air all the time, in shops, and
schools and places Of amusement, and
in public conveyances, and, above all,
in every bedroom every night in the
year.
Those who would like to breathe
good air all the time are often forced
by circumstances to do without it in
the daytime, but they can at least
have all they want at night. 1t is dur
ing the hours of sleep that nature re-
pairs the waste of the days work I'M
der bad conditions, and she never does
good work in bad air. Keep your bed
room windows wide open all the time,
and you wiz have done your share.

Grow Trees in Bottles.

Run stout piece Of thread through
the middle of an acorn and suspend
it by the thread half way in a bottle
Drop in few pieces of charcoal and
fill the bottle with water until the wa
ter almost touches the acorn Cover
the mouth of the bottle with paper and
stand it in warm room In time the
acorn will sprout, producing roots that
will feed upon the water, and finally a
stem and leaves will appear. Replen-
ish the water from time to time and
change it occasionally. This is splen-
did object lesson for children.
When well rooted the oak can be
potted in small pot and grown as
house plant. The leaves will drop IN
the autumn, when water should be
withheld. Early in the spring knock
the ball of earth from the pot, care
fully removing the old soil, shorten the
roots by cutting with a sharp knife
and repot in slightly larger pot. In
this manner the oak can be grown as
a miniature for years.

Scotland came to be known centu-
ries ago as the Land O. Cakes and
as such has been celebrated in prose
and poetry. One may yet, in travelling
through that northern land, come up
on country inns and herders' huts, see
women who never attended cooking
school, and who over a peat fire in the
great chimney place, griddle swung
by crane over the slow Goals, baking
cake more than foot in diameter,
savory and promising of a meal for
the gods, and who when the big cake
is ready for the turning will seize the
griddle by the handle, give it a toss
in the air, and turn that cake with an
art motion not to be seen in any other
place on earth, the big round slab turn
ing loop-the-loop and alighting With
the other side down in the same place
as before to the breadth Of slender
stem of the heather.

There was gasping cry from among
the huddIed furniture as the cabin
righted itself with kissing outpour
of water, and then sprang sidewise
like chunk of driftwood in a whirl-
pool; and in a moment he held the
girls dripping, shaking form tightly
with one arm while he braced his
back against the heaving side of the
rough wall and spread protecting
hand over the silk of her hair.
Any minute something might drop
upon them-some awful thing reach

They could hear the old man blum

the grinding and tearing of rock and

Occasionally red fare Of lightning

with objects heaped grotesquely
against the fireplace. BY one such

night wore on.

yell of CONSERVATION from the
thwarted old schemer.

Sentinel Gum Tree, on a firm, root

way to a quiet inlet in the. water side

The two valuable pastures were no

crumbled by the wearing flood of CEN

Wound Makes Man See Green.

A very interesting case is reported
being shot in the forehead, the bullet
passing out Of the back of his head
without killing or even stunning him.
He remarked Everything seems green
all round me-" and when in the hos.
pital tent he still persisted that he saw
everything green. This case appears
to favor the cerebral theory of color
vision of DR.. Eldridge-G Green, the shock
to the brain having altered the dis
criminatory apparatus SO that impulses
caused by green rays had preponder-
ating influence. Scientific American.

Birth of the Needle.

When the idea occurred to some pre-
historic man of putting hole through
the butt end of sharp bone bodkin,
or stylet, such as we know that the
Aurignaciennes were already accus-
toned to use, and of thrusting string
through the hole in order that 1t might
be drawn into the perforations of the
garment. the needle was born, from
youthful human genius, and so well
born that it has undergone no essen
tial Improvement in all the countless
ages that have since rolled away.
Look at one Of these prehistoric bone
needles In some archaeological coIlec-
ton and you will better appreciate the
merit of that unknown but glorious
Aurignacian Edison, whose highest
thought. perhaps. was to please and de-
light his wife!

seIf-LIuhtInu CIGARS.

The German military authorities and
the German postal authorities have
authorized the transmission by parcel
post to soldiers in the field of cigars
equipped with a special chemical prep
aration that enables the smoker to
light them without the aid of matches.
The chemical preparation is applied
to the end of cigars, and is ignited by
rubbing it against hard substance,
like the ordinary match, but it cannot
ignite automatically The chemicals
used, it is said, do not AFFECT the ha-
vor of the cigar.

French Trees Vanishing.

There is one feature incidental to
the winter warfare which will grieve
all those who love to tour the old
French country roads. The long lines
of beautiful trees which convert these
into shady avenues are being sadly
damaged. The need of firewood is
very pressing, and as there is no coal
available, the trees are being ruthless
ly sacrificed.

Milton School Holds
First of Its Outings

More than forty students and gradu-
ates OF the Milton School of Stem
ography and Typewriting left Washing
ton at o'clock this afternoon on
special car for Annapolis. the event
being the first of series of summer
educational excursions given under the
auspices OF the school.
The train will be met by a guide who
is to show the party through the Naval
Academy and point out the places of
interest in Annapolis. A feature of the
outing will be a picnic supper which
will be served late in the afternoon on
the shore of the bay.
This is a particularly opportune time
for the outing of school to Annapolis.
because several of the court reporters
who acted as judges in the recent speed
contests of the school. are now there
reporting the hearings in connection
with the "cribbing" charges.
1t is the plan of the management of
the school to conduct similar excur-
sions monthly to different points of in
terest. Arrangements are already being
made for a trip to the Luray Caverns
some time in July.
