The Art;nboke

The artichoke, which originally came from Barbary, is not a botanical spe- cies. but variety of the thistle, which grows spontaneously all along the Af- rican coast of the Mediterranean from Morocco to Palestine. It is now culti- vatcd extensively ill 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 ROscoff. the big green artichoke of Laon and the violet artichoke of Pro- vencc. There are also varieties which come from Italy, Spain, India and Can lda, 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 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 arc then either fried or baked.

Meat In Middle n1es.

Much of the medieval meat. which Cobhett 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 erd of summer, while lack of fodder made it impossible to keep much live stock during the winter. On st. Mar tins day (Nov. II arrangements were usually male for slaughtering on Il 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 run on sGhci beef and saltcd mutton. Salt cd beef is eXcellent-for q change. But have you ever tried salted mutton?- London Graphic.

To the Swift.

While the morning rusE was on one day young woman followed a trolley car down Broadway. running two blocGs before she caught it. This she was able 10 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 panting up to the side>of the car, she gaspeI 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 q search. No pocketbook was found, but as she stepped off into the street again, her eyes filled with tears, there came a shout from behind. If was the motorman of the succeeding car. and in his hand as he leaned ove- his brake he held the pOckctbook.
 ''Hcre it is. lady" he said. Don't rry.. You only caught the car ahead" New York Post.

Americans,

A native of any part of North or South America is literally an American since he is native of one of the Amer ican continents. Usage. however, has narrowed the term 50 that 'an Ameri- can" is generally understood to be a citizen or native of the United States of America, while native of Canada. Mexico, Central or South America Is known as 'Canadian," Mexican = Brazilian" "Guatemalan' or the like. The reason for the usage does not lie iu 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 its citizens or to ap- ply to its interests, industries, cities. etc.-New York Times.

To the serious man flattery in the form sponsible and only sadder because he knows how much he falls below what is expected of him and what he ex- poets of himself.

Cheap Paint.

There are 1000 "cheap'' paints and a dozen really cheap ones.
 That double word "cheap' is the cause of wasting more money than good paint costs, two or three times over.
 Cheap paint is good paint; there is no other; no other is cheap.
 The two words sound alike but their meanings are opposite. "Cheap" costs double. Cheap is Devoe.

CAUSE OF ELECTRIC SPARK
As to Why Whip Cracks Is Rea-
soned Out by an Intelligent
Observer.

A theory as to why a whip cracks
was discussed in the columns of the
Scientific American. Jessie NJ. Jones
of Canton, Pa. had new and inter.
esting theory expressed in a letter
to the Scientific American.
Il was in a half illumined harness
store where he merchant happened
to be trying whips" she writes. "One
particularly loud snap produced an
electric spark at the end of the lash
All of sudden the idea occurred to
me that the snap was not made by the
lash at all, but was produced by the
action of the lash dividing the air and
that it was the instantaneous concus
sion of the air that produced the snap
and the electric spark was the fric
ton caused by division of the cur
rent of air, the same as in a thun
derstorm. Why not?"

HARD QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
Requests Regarding Matter of Daily
Life Are Hard to Com
ply With.

Why do some men succeed in busi-
ness and others fail? John A. Sleicher
asks in Leslie's.
Why. when a business has been sue
cessfully developed by brainy man,
does it fail when it falls into another
ones hands?
Why does business that has failed
under one management succeed un-
der another?
Why do some men make fortunes by
securing control of bankrupt prop
erty and putting it on its feet?
Why does one family grow up with
its members intelligent, conscientious,
clean and wholesome. while members
Of neighooring family are indolent
improvident, dependent and perhaps
criminal?
Why does church membership grew
smaller and the crowds around the
demagogues at street corners grow
larger?
Why does a man receive good wages
and working comfortable hours listen
to wandering agitator who tells OF
Utopia where labor is unnecessary
and where the state will support the
people?
Why? What's the answer?

Jim MANN, KING OF DETAIL

James r. Mann, the Republican
floor leader, is the King of Detail.
Nothing is too small or too numerous

what were the amounts of the princi-

no doubt he could tell you without
pausing to move an eye-winker. 1t is
almost safe to say that he can skin
