TAKING THE BISCUIT.
A Bakers Boy, a Batch Of Dough and q
Gastronomic Joy.


To "take the biscuit is a common
phrase. But who was the first per-
son to be so distinguished?
He was a baker by trade, and he
received it from a French count.
The count lived in the times when 4
French nobleman could, if he chose.
send an outrider to a neighboring
town that he intended honoring
with his presence, saying he requir-
cd an omelet made with a thou
sand eggs, and The innkceper had to
produce one or suffer for it.
This outriding business is a ire
mendous asset in making people get
busy on your behalf.
In this way the biscuit was dis
covered. A certain French noble
sent the aforementioned outrider
with the command that a cake was
to be prepared for him that would
taste different from all other cakes.
The baker on receiving the order
mixed up-and wasted - several
pounds of flour and fruit, but they
all tasted much of a muchness. In
despair he left the last batch of un-
derdone dough in sheer fright, as
time was getting on, and went to
consult with baker No. 2.
During his absence his young son
wandered into the bakehouse and,
seeing a batch of undcrdone dough,
set to work and rolled it out and
stamped it into small cakes, then
baked them. When done to a crisp,
golden brown he took them out and
gazed on them with pardonablc
pride.
In the meantime the father, being
no wiser as to the production of a
cake. returned, looking the
ghost Of his old self, to use a quite
original expression.
When he saw the little yellow bis
cult, he vas spccchlcss with aston
ishment and wanted to know whence
they came. The son explained and
invited his sire to taste one. They
We're SO delicious that all fear left
his countenance.
lie waited the coming Of the au-
gust count with impatience. In due
course the gentleman arrived, with
the usual arisrocratic hunger and
thirst on him. The cakes were so
to his liking that he ate the lot and
gave the baker the Grand Order of
the Biscuit into the bargain.
(; Some people are half baked. The
word "blscuit' means ''twice baked"

A Temple Of Divorce.

SO long ago as 1850 the wife Of

We're very simple. A new sect Of
Buddhism known as the Zen was
just then being formed. In the
temple Of the Zen sanctuary was es-
tab1ished for A:eing wives. When
they wished s"oaration or divorce
from their Ii stands they could
claim protection under the wing Of
the temple. Once across the thresh-
old, government officials would not
be allowed to Interfere, still less

600 years.
