Letters from Asia Minor describe an
attitude on the part OF some of the
Turks in authority that looks very
threatening toward Christians of any
race aside from the Germans.

region Of Asiatic Turkey are kept be-
cause of the threats for the future and
because of daily outrages. Greeks In

The teachers say these pictures are
sent by the Government, and declare
that they are instructed also to teach
the children poems which indicate
hatred and contempt. One hodja on

The Red Cross has entered upon

Meat In Middle Aqes.

Much OF the medieval meat, which
Cobbett says was plentiful and cheap.
must have been poor stuff. Until the
introduction of root crops in the eight
eenth century cattle and sheep did not
become even moderately plump till the
end of summer, while lack of fodder
made it impossible to keep much live
stock during the winter. On st. Mar
tins day (NOv. III arrangements were
usually made for slaughtering on a
large scale, and for the next six months
fresh meat worth eating was practical
ly unobtainable. Until the spring grass
was again ready there was a run on
salted beef and salted mutton. Salt
ed beef is eXcellent-for a change But
have you ever tried salted mutton?-

The gosh darned fool threw bis money
right away;
Rode into town sitting on some sand,
Came home rldin' in an Overland.
When he got to the house and turned
toward the gate,
He shut down the throttle and he put
on the brake;
He grabbed for the reins, got the
throttle instead.
And the gosh dipged Overland kept a.
pluggin' right ahead.
Tom jerked at the levers, and he turned
off the gas.
He kicked at the pedals, and he broke
out the glass.
He cut all the wires and he pulled off
the top,
i But the gosh dinged Overland just
wouldn't stop.
So he pulled out his knife, and he

Americans.

A native of any part of North or
South America is literally an American
since he is a native of one Of the Amer
lean continents. Usage, however, has
narrowed the term so that IAN Ameri-
cam is generally understood to be a
citizen or native Of the United States
of America, while a native Of Canada,
Mexico, Central or South America is
known as a Canadian ''NIeXican,'
'Brazilian,' "Guatemalan'' or the like.
The reason for the usage does not lie
in any feeling that the United States
pre-empts, stands for or OvershadOws
the other parts Of the western hemis-
phere, but simply in the fact that, while
Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United
States Of Colombia, etc, are words
which admit of adjective formation,
"American' is the only adjective which
can be formed from the name Of our
country to denote it's citizens or to ap-
ply to it's interests, industries, cities,
etc.-New York Times.

To the Swift.

While the morning rush was on one
day a young woman followed a trolley
car down Broadway, running two
blocks before she caught it. This she
was able to do because of the jam of
the traffic which retarded the car. Her
efforts attracted attention on both sides
of the street, and hurrying shop hands
stopped to cheer her on. At Houston
street, where she came painting up to
the side of the car, she gasped to the
conductor that she had left her pocket
book on the seat and wanted to get it.
He obligingly held the car while she
made a search. No pOcketbOok was
found, but as she stepped off into the
street again, her eyes filed with tears,
there came a shout from behind. 1t
was the motOrman of the succeeding
car, and in his hand as he leaned over
his brake he held the pocketbook.
''Here it is, lady" he said. "Don't
cry You only caught the car ahead"

The Artichoke.

The artichOl2e, which originally came
from Barbary, is not a botanical spe-
cies, but a variety of the thistle, which
grows spontaneously all along the At
rican coast of the Mediterranean from
Morocco to Palestine. It is now culti-
waited extensively in France, where
those which come from Brittany and
Algeria are the species most highly eS-
teemed. Even of these there are many
varieties, such as the CamuS artichOke
of Brittany, the bronZed artichOke Of
ROsc0ff, the big green artichoke of
Laon and the violet artichoke of Pro-
vence. There are also varieties which
come from Italy, Spain, India and Can
ada, to say nothing of the Jerusalem
artichoke. famous for the enormous
size of it's leaves. In the south Of
France when the crop is abundant the
heads are carefully picked of all their
leaves and the hearts dried in the sun,
put up in sacks and stored away for
winter use. These hearts when boiled
in water or in a rich beef broth be-
come soft and recover their form, color
and flavor. They are then taken from
the pot the water and broth strained
away, the center is filled with force
meat, and they are then either fried or
baked.

WHEN DISHW ASHING WAS POPU-
LAR

Once upon time a portion of the
boys of high school gay an oyster
supper They. knowing their faults,
asked some Of the girls to wait on the
tables, After the supper the young
people decided that the dishes could
wait till the next day but the profess or.
thinking that they would enjoy it, sug-
gested washing them. A table was
taken into the kitchen and boys and
girls together began the work. Two
dishpans were filled with water and
two people washed at each pan. A
grand rush came for the dish wipers
which were few and far between. con-
slstlng of roll of cheesecloth which
was cut Up by the boys into the desired
Sizes When the end was reached a
young lady ran off with the remainder
but soon. they got it and cut it up to
supply another. After the dishes were
wiped they were put upon large trays
and carried out onto a table. When
the cheesecloth dish wipers became
wet they were used as face cloths,
muffl lers and wells and paper towels
were used instead and when these too
became wet every one was supposed to
look out for his head. Someone sug-
gested that butter is good for the com
pIexion and if this is true some of the
girls should be truly blest
In a surprisingly short time the
dishes were all done and the kitchen
cleaned up The girls learned that
the boys could wash dishes if necessary
and that after all dish washing is pop.
uiar at times.
