A BATTLE OF THE WINDS.
When eoreas and Notus Rage at Each
Other ON the Boeporus.

When Boreas and Notus Rage at Each
Other ON tho Boeporus.
By strange phenomenon, if the
south wind prevails the superficial cur
rent Of the Bosporus is reversed,
though the inferior current continues
its accustomed course. Then the wa
ters on the surface are piled tumultu-
ously back upon one another, and the
quays, which are several feet above
the ordinary Bosporus level, are flood
ed and perhaps made impossible. At
such times caiques and smaller boats
do not dare to venture upon the tenn
peStuous surface.
Sometimes q strong wind blows
northward from the Marmora, and an
other wind as strong blows with equal
violence southwark from the Black
sea. Then, as one gazes from some
central point like Roumeli Hissar, he
behOlds ships under full sail majestic
ally approaching each other from both
directions till at last they are only
two or three miles apart. Between
them lies belt of moveless sea, into
which they are forced and on which
they drift helplessly about and per-
haps crash into each others sides.
This Is duel royal between Boreas
and Notus and may continue for hours.
Gradually the zone of calm is forced
north or south. At last one wind with
draws like a defeated champion from
wi
brought thus far drop their anchors
and wait or else hire one Of the nu-
merous steam tugs which are padding
eXpectantly about. The ships which
have come with the victorious wind
triumphantly resume their course, and
meanwhile their sailors mock and jeer
their fellow mariners whose breeze
has failed them.-From Constantine
pie" by Dr.. Edwin A. Grosvenor.

it would reduce the ''high cost of
living" and improve health. We
do not take our health seriously.
We do not take our eating
seriously. 1t may be a plaything,
1t may be social event. 1t would
better be a business that commands
due attention. Until we take our
health seriously enough not to
violate laws of health; until we
regard our eating as a means of
health, there will be sickness,
much sickness, too much sickness
and early death.
Such food should be selected as
will yield the best returns for the
least cost.
For the stomachs sake eat more
rice and less toughness.

him:
why is it that the Chinese call us

BY no means. I would not be so
unreasonable as to ask you u question
and then be offended because you an.

be greatly obliged to you."S
Being thus pressed until he was un-
able to refuse, the official finally eyed
the consul from head to foot and said
slowly and reluctantly, "Well. it is be-

This natural superstition of the peo-

Samoan babies can give points to

A. S. Middleton in Sailor and Beach

very intelligent Moreover:
They can swim at three months ON {;

a Samoan had child that sucked a
dummy presumably a comforter at
six years old and walled driveling

England do, they would look upon it
as great curio and smother it for

Butter while they are hot, and spread with nuts (pecan or English walnuts) ground fine and mixed with a little sugar. Set back in the oven, laying a whole nut kernel in the center of each, and leave for three minutes. Serve while they are warm The butter adds to the erispness of the cracker and holds the nut paste together. The result is deli cious beyond what you might imagine. when materials and process are so simple. The other is marshmallow souffes.

Polish for Woodwork

You will find inclosed stamped and self-addressed envelope. Will you please send a good recipe for floor polish,' also polish for wood?
 MARGARET L. P"
 As you have been told by mail, we can not send recipes in private letters. The rule is absolute and just to all concerned. For floor polish, melt a scant pound of beeswax; set the vessel containing it in a pan of boiling water and stir into the wax quart of spirits of turpentine When the mixture is smooth, add six table spoons of household ammonia. Set the deep pan of hot water containing the in- ner vessel at the back of the range to keep hot. Apply the mixture, while warm with flannel cloth. When the floor has been treated with this, polish with block covered with Brussels carpeting. Polish for hard woodwork: Mix three parts of crude linseed oil with one part of spirits of turpentine and a teaspoon of salt to the quart. Shake hard and when you have cleansed the woodwork with a cloth wrung out in soft water, rub in the polish faithfully with a soft flannel. Keep it clean by wiping with a soft linen rag wrung out in kerosene. Do this when actually needed. It aims the polish if used often.
