ton Of the English people. He is rep.
resented as bluff, corpulent, irascible
old fellow, clad in leather breaches and
top boots and carrying a stout oaken

Arbuthnot thus describes John Bull:
In the main he was an honest, plain
dealing fellow, choleric. bold and Of
very inconstant temper. Very apt to
quarrel with his best friends, especial

The chimney is something that Is
relatively new in architecture. Many
Of the old castles and other buildings
Of Europe which were constructed be-
fore the fifteenth century have no
chimneys. In some of them a flue
leads from the back and above the
fireplace through the wall to the outer
air. 1t was somewhere about the thir-
teenth century that in certain build
ings the masons began to run the hue
to the top Of the building, but the
chimneys CT that period had openings
in the side, the top being rooted over.
1t was about the fifteenth century that
masons began to build chimneys that
extended above the roof Of the house
and to leave the top Of the chimney
uncovered.

Granulated Butter.

The Chinese preserve their eggs in
definitely by drying them, the yolks and
whites being first separated and then
each reduced to powder by evaporation.
In India butter is treated in much the
same way, SO that it never becomes
stale and may be kept fresh for hun
bred years. The butter is boiled till
all the water and curds are got rid of
and nothing remains but clear oil.
When the oil cools into solid it is
granulated and in this form will re-
main fresh Indefinitely. This is what
they call ghee, and ghee is nothing
more or less than dried butter.

men have come across willingly, even
gladly, with a touch of adventure IN
their impulse and more than a touch
of heroism. They are young with the
youth of a new country. Curiosity
is their mental attitude They want
to see great things, to play a part at

PHONY TOBACCO IS
MADE IN GERMANY
Baltimore News)

The idea ON imitation tobacco is nop
new; since the ingenious state of Con-
necticut has plunged into the cultiva-
ton of the Indian weed such substi-
tutes for tobacco as We're not uncom-
mon in less favored times have fallen
into disuse The Yankee genius has
produced something just as good as
even better than-the substitute for
Sir Walter Raleigh's legacy.
But in Germany they have only re-
Gently produced a substitute for to-
bacco; probably because the madness
for producing substitutes for all ar
ticles consumed in that once prosper
Gus empire has seized upon the army
contractors, whose ingenuity is spurred
by the increasing demand and the fail
ing supply. They are now making an
imitation of pipe tobacco consisting of
a blend of strawberry leaves, lavender,
fennel and woodruff; for this dreadful
mixture the makers are able to get
about rs cents pound Some smokers
say lit is passao ole, but apt to bite the
tongue 1t is more than likely that
even such commentators had to be
purchased with small quantities of real
tobacco. A story has just leaked out
that German at home sent his
brother in the trenches a package of
the imitation Tobacco and received in
reply a letter in which the recipient
promised fervently to wiring his
brothers neck for sending him such
stuff, if he ever got back home again"
Il is not hard to understand how
very bad this imitation tobacco must
be. German tobacco is of a peculiar
badness. at its best, and if the imita-
ton is designed to be like the original,
only cheaper and inferior, it is no
wonder that FritZ-in- the-hole had
reason to complain. But this not for
the badness of the substitute alone,
Cartoonists picture the German with a
porcelain pipe; it is an anachronism
His staff of life is the "zehn-p fen-
niger cigar. He loves it even more
than he does its companion krug of
beer. If the war has taken it away
from him. there is warrant for the
stories of unrest in the country
