Although De Oro's playing was not up

New Use for a Cook Book.

There is a story of a man, desper- ately ill, who, having passed the crisis of his ailment, needed only, so the doctors asserted, an incentive to recover. He had had dire misfortunes and had lost all interest in living Neither his business, nor his motor car, nor his children, nor his wife suf- feed to lure him back to the trials of temporal existence. Then some in spired relative thought of the cock book. She put it into the hands of the sick man as he lay whitening on his pillow. He turned it over Ian guidly; then he tluttered the pages with transparent fingers; presently he asked to be propped up in bed. Be fore long he was whispering feryidly of what he was going to have to eat when he got well-those pig hooks with dumplings; hot wafIles and sirup; schnittbOhnen with sour sauce. What were rissoles, and ramekins, and ban hooks? And why had he never known about tOad-in-the-hole? These were the sentiments that wOOed him back to life.-Atlantic Monthly.

Saints and Sinners.

The story regarding Dr. Alexander Whyte and Dr. Hugh Black, who, dur ing their joint Edinburgh ministry, were said respectively to have black balled the saints and whitewashed the sinners, is now claimed to have Crigi- mated in London, and to be the prop erty, not of the Scottish Pres5yterians but of the Wesleyan Methodists. When Hugh Price Hughes was founding his famous West London mission he wrote to the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse, inviting his personal cooperation. MT Pearse replied that, for one thing, he wanted to go and live in Cornwall; for another he wished to be free to preach in diff ferent parts of England; and, finally and cOnclusively, where Hugh Price Hughes was there was little room for anyone else. Not at all, was Hughes response; "there'll be plenty of room You shall edify the saints, and I'll pur- sue the sinners "-Westminster Ga, Zette.

In the Approved Mode of 1916

Easter comes late this year, usher ing in the last week in April, so that the matter of new s%ring suits may be all settled before that time. Style features that will predominate through the coming summer are already a cer- tainty, and they are not very different from those of the past season.
 Certain characteristics of the win ter's modes are emphasized in those for spring. and others are modified For instance, skirts are wider but not so short. Coats are inclined to fit more snugly in the body and indulge more fullness in the peplum. They are short and many of them are belt ed. Collars are diminishing in width, at the front, at least. Capes and cape effects furnish novelty in details that may be depended on. Buttons play a not too conspicuous but important role in the matter of decoration, and one may choose between silk or wool or cotton materials. Much ingenuity is apparent in the management of belts.

Locked Up Potash.

About two miles northeast of Su- perior, Wyo., are the Leucite hills, which are made up largely of igneous rocks in the form of volcanic necks, sheets intruded into the stratified rocks, and dikes cutting across the. sedimentary strata.
 Associated with these intrusive. rocks are volcanic cones and lava flows. These rocks have long been objects Of scientific interest because of their unusual character.
 Lately they have attracted addi- tional interest by reason of the pot ash-rich mineral leucite, they contain, which may some day be utilized if a process can be found for extracting the potash cheaply.
 It has been estimated that the ig- neous rock of the Leucite hills con- tains more than 97,000,000 tons of potash.

STUBBORNNESS HAS A VALUE
Quality Not Usually Considered Trustworthy Is All Right in the
 Army Mule.

The fact that mule is stubborn may lessen his value to the average user-but the soldier is inclined to value this trait. The mule is being rated above the horse for actual use under fire on battlefields, and is much used by the artillery. An untrained horse, being nervous and high strung, is likely to dash about madly under fire, but the mule stubbornly holds his place regardless of the din. The Brit ish are now planning to mount a part of their cavalry on American mules. A favorite story of the British artil- lery is told of the artillerymen who tried to retreat with their guns under a warm attack. The gun team of mules stubbornly refused to budge, so in desperation the gunners returned to the gun and succeeded in beating back the attack. They were warmly commended for their valor-but admit ted that the praise was properly due the mules.-American Boy.

FAVORITES ON FRENCH MENU
larIy Liked by the Gourmands of That Country.

The Frenchman is very fond of arti- chokes. One kind, the Verte de Prov ence, has wideopen petals like a rose in full bloom. The violet Native de Provence is a rare specimen of vio- let hue, having it's petals closely fold ed into a firm ball.
 Truffles are among the rarest of cpl curean treasures in France. Dogs and hogs are trained to scent out the tuberlike nuggets in their earthly GOV erings in the forests For the truffle is fungus which grows underground and requires the scent of animals to discover 1t. It's growth is rather a mystery, in that science has yet dis covered little about it. In Perigord and Provence the custom prevails of sowing acorns in an inclosed space, the natives declaring that when the trees are big enough to shade the ground the time has come for crop of trutfles to be gathered.
 A violet truffle i the finest of all. It is covered with polygonal warts and is found in Perigord and Provence. When it reaches maturity in late au- tumn it puts on black flesh of red dish violet sheen and it's odor and fla vor arc as delicate as it's covering.

of serge having hair-line stripe. is shown here. It is plain in cut and is therefore adapted to fancy weaves and checks as well. The skirt has no plaits. but manages to flare by means of the slanting seams. The coat Is shaped to the figure at the under arms, and belted across the front and back. It is finished with wide revers and shaped bands of the material with fancy buttons by way of variety of or nament. Bands and buttons take the place of cuffs on the plain coat sleeves.
 In many of the new coats the full ness of the peplum is confined to the sides and back the lines at the front are kept straight and unbroken. The fullness of skirts is arranged in the same way. Colored checks showing brown and green, blue and green, tan and blue, and many other color com binations. are featured. A novelty is contributed with some of these checked suits in the form of overcol- lars of a plain cloth, that are detach- able.

Fish Failed to Respond.

For some hours the angler had sat on the river bank. patiently waiting, always waiting.

KICKED A BARREL OF BEES
Supreme Court of Georgia Gets Case of Negro Who Was Bending
 Over 1t.

The supreme court of Georgia must decide the unique point of whether a swarm of bees can be considered a deadly weapon,' the Atlanta Con- stitution states.
 The case originated in a criminal court in Atlanta and involves the most astonishing defense ever put forward in a case of assault with intent to murder.
 An Atlanta negro, Roscoe Richards, was standing last summer over a bar rel full of watermelon rinds. The barrel was also full of bees feeding on the rinds, a fact which Roscoe didn't know As he bent his head down into the barrel to see if there wasn't something worth picking up another negro kicked the barrel The bees arose angrily and lighted all over Roscoe's ebony head and face
 Roscoe turned over ill the air, but when he alightcd he came down like a cat on his feet and his razor was al- ready out and open. He is said to have attacked the other negro and literally cut him to pieces. Richards employed lawyers and when the case came to trial recently he pleaded not guilty and interposed the simple plea of "self-defense."
 His lawyers produced evidence to show that in many cases people had been stung to death by bees. They proved the facts of the case and let it go at that. The defense, independent of Roscoe Richards personal interest in the outcome, has brought up one of the prettiest points in the history of the Georgia criminal courts.
