with one prince, but who is under OBJ
LEGATIONS to marry another whom she
hates. Then a duel takes place be-
tween the two suitors, and the good
prince is victorious. However, the
fairy queen is given to understand
that the one she loves has been kill
ed. So she directs her attendants to
carrv to the victor the flower of death,
one smell, of which means instant
death. The good prince smells OF TINS
flower and duly expires. And when
the beautiful queen learns What she
has done she too smells Of the flow
er.
Bv putting himself and his rival in
the places OF the two princes, and
Molly-O in place Of the fairy queen,
the hero of "The Marriage Of Molly-O"
works very neatly upon the heart OF
his lady-love; and although she is
loath, through natural modesty, to ad-
nit it, she falls deeply in love with
him.
It is said that there has never been
a play presented on the screen so true
to the national spirit as this. There
are jaunting cars. land agents, pigs,
cabbages, potatoes, fights and real
Irish fair-with the hero noblemae
in disguise who does not make himself
known until he is sure of the true af-
lection of the girl of his heart.

GEOMETRY ON THE BRoILER.

AS Study It Is Pretty Well Roastsd
by This caustio Critic.
Euclid is gentleman from whom
credentials ought to be required. He
has long held prominent place in edu-
cation as matter Of tradition. "Just
why should John and Sally study plane
geometry, and indeed how does it come
about that they are studying it?'' That
Is question which cannot be put too
plainly to teachers of mathematics.
shall consider for moment two
possible answers: Geometry is useful,
you may be told, or geometry affords
excellent mental discipline. Geometry
is useful. Well, how useful and in
what ways? Professor David E. Smith,
/. professor of the teaching Of smathe-
matics in Teachers college, tells us,
"Not more than rs per cent Of the
propositions Gin geometry have any
genuine applications outside OF geom-
etry." And a distinguished physicist
has assured me that the Is per cent of
propositions that are of no use are lot
even needed to prove the Is per cent
that are Of some use. The teachers Of
plane geometry have therefore a very
considerable task if they are going to
Justify the time spent on geometry on
the ground that geometry is useful
Nor is their task easier If they take
the other horn of the dilemma. Sup
pose one did get mental discipline"
from geometry. Is it the sort Of men
tai discipline that life calls for and
gives?
Geometry as taught is deductive
science. That is, from certain assump-
lions called axioms and postulates
long series Of propositions is developed.
II the study of geometry really devel-
oped that kind of thinking, whom
would 1t help but lawyers? For prac-
teal life calls for a very different type
Of thinking.
In actual life people observe, or they
should observe, and on this basis make
limited inference which leads to &C.
ton. If the action taken fails, they OBJ
serve further, construct other hypothe-
ses and act again. 1t is the method Of
trial on error.
1t there is to be any mental disci-
pine, ought it not to be Of the type rep.
resented by science rather than the
type represented by the conventional
treatment of geometry? - Abraham
flexner in Atlantic Monthly.

The human species offers frequent ex-

men Of the black race. White albinos
have skin of peculiar paleness, blond

Along so blocks Of the heart of the

this year. The Improvement is de-
signed to be permanent.
Delicate trailing vines and nastur-
tiums have been planted about the
roots Of the trees and give a green
and flower effect against the brown
trunks.
The palms are set in wooden tubs,
which in turn are placed in cement
boxes. The lowest branches are about
eight feet above the sidewalk. The
watering is done at night by the city

Every town of importance In East
Prussia that has suffered at the de-

Many of the destroyed towns are SO
completely ruined that it is going TO

anew. This makes it eminently feast
BILE to apportion off a section that can
be devoted to the desirable city gar

workmen; single home structures with
two, three and four rooms, which uitt'

VARIETY OF RECIPES
ALL WORTH REMEMBERING BY
CONSCIENTIOUS COOK.
Vegetable Soup as 1t Should Be Made
for the Best Results-Potato That
VIII Be Attractive to the
Invalid.

Vegetable Soup.-Take one large po
tato or two small ones, one carrot ane
one turnip of medium size, and one
small onion; wash, pare and slice
them, and let them boil for one hour In
one quart Of water, adding parsley. OF
any herb preferred for favoring, and
more water as it boils away, SO that
there will be quart when done.
Thicken with spoonful Of -four OF
cornstarch, dissolved in a little cold
water; or spoonful of rice or any
coarse cereal may be added when the
vegetables are half cooked. Strain of
the liquid, season to taste, and add q
few spoonfuls of sweet cream. II a
dish little more substantial is de.
sired, the vegetables may be rubbed
through the strainer also and mixed
with the liquid.
Bread Panada.-Toast slowly several
slices of stale light bread, until they
are u golden brown all through. Pile
them in q bowl. sprinkling each one
with little sugar and a pinch of salt;
then cover with boiling water, close
tightly, set the bowl in pan Of boil
ing water and let simmer gently until
the bread is like Jelly. Serve warm.
with sugar and cream and 81 grating OF
nutmeg.
Potste fer an InvaiId-Where potato
Ia allowed, select such as will boil up
dry and msaly. Peel them and boil un-
til well done, then mash very thor
oughly with wire masher until per-
fectly free from Jumps. Add rather
more salt than usual and several
spoonfuls of thick. sweet cream; then
beat until perfectly smooth and light,
and serve at once. Potato served in
this way is delicious and much more
easily digested by weak stomach
then when eaten with butter.
Fruit Toast-Fruit toasts are de-
licious and appetizing and may be
made either with fresh or canned
fruit. Dip the slices Of toast in the hot
Juice, removing them quickly to a hot
dish, then thicken the Juice slightly
with cornstarch, adding the pulp,
rubbed through sieve or finely
chopped, and poursall over the toast.
Fruit Whip-A nourishing way of
serving fruit, either fresh or canned,
is to press it through a sieve or wire
gravy strainer and then stir it into
whipped cream. regulating the amount
of fruit as desired and sweetening to
taste.
Egg souffle Toast.-Place slice Of
toast. on a white enameled plate,
spread with fresh butter or very thick
sweet cream. heap on top the stifly
whipped white of an egg, following
out the top to form nest. In this
place the yolk. Set in the oven to
cook the egg lightly.

Economical Cake.

The most surprising of cakes can
be produced without eggs or butter.
To teaspoontul Of bicarbonate of
soda dissolved In teaspoonful OF
warm water add cupful Of sour milk,
three-quarters Of cupful of brown
sugar and half a cupful Of treacle.
See that the sugar is well dissolved,
and then add two cupfuls of brown
flour, a good pinch of ginger and a
teaspoonful of cinnamon. Beat to
smoothness, and pour in while STIR
ring a quarter Of pound of Toured
raisins-less can be used. Bake in a
slow oven for good hour. This cake
is economical, and will keep a long
time, but it is better not to cut it
for day or two.
