Preface to pojjtics.

We have almost no spiritual wca.
pons against clnssicalism ; universities,
churches, newspapers are %by-products
of a commercial success; we have no
tradition Of intellectual revolt. The
American college student has the gray.
lty and mental habits Of a Supreme
court Judge; his wild oats" are rare.
ly spiritual; the critical. analytical
habit of mind Is hstrusted. We say
that knocking" Is n sign Of the sore
head" and we sublimate criticism by
saying that "evcry knock Is a boost"
America does not play with ideas; gen.
erous speculation Is regarded as insin.
cere, and Stunned as II It might endan.
ger the optimism which underlies sue.
All this becomes such an In
sulntion against new ideas that when

USE OF PUFFBALLS
May Be Cooked In Many Ways u Ono
10 Sure the Right Kind ls
in Hand.

Putfballs are the safest Of all fungi
for the beginner, mont Of them being
poisonous; and they are Mt the same
time excellent and easy to obtain.
| writes William A. Murrill, assistant d.
rector Of the New York Botanical gar
den, In the American Museum Journal.
Being tender, they cook quickly and
are easily digested. They should as a
rule be cut open before cooking to see
that they are not too old and that they
are really puflballs. If they are white
and firm like cream cheese inside,
showing no yellow or brownish discol-
GRAFTON. they are of the right age to
Use. If the interior shows no special
structures, but Is smooth and homoge-
nenuS, then one may be sure he has a
puffbalI. The 'egg" of the deadly
amanita contains the young cap and
stem inside. which are readily seen
when the egg" is cut: and the egg
of the stlnkhorn shows the stem and n
green mass inside surrounded by n lay.
err Of jelly-like substance.
Puffballs may be cooked alone In va
rious ways or used in stews and me
let's and for stuifing roast fowls. When
used In omelets they should be stewed
first. All kinds except the very small
n should first be peeled ard cut in
to slices or cubes. after which they
may he fried quickly In butter Or
dipped in beaten egg and fried like
eggplant or cooked in any Of the ways
recommended for the ordinary mush-
room. The smaller kinds are much
inferior in flavor TO the larger ones
and need II few specimens of some

Edward 3. Weber can't get along
with Alma, his wife. They were
married in 1910, and then because OF
the cruel and inhuman treatment
accorded him, he secured a divorce
in June, 1914. In the spring of 1915
Mrs. Weber promised that she would
no longer abuse him if he would re-
marry her, and he took her at his
word The second wedding took
place in May, 1915.
In January. 1917, she made things
unpleasant for him again so the
complaint filed in court alleges. They
haven't been living together since
that time. and the second suit for
divorce has been started.
