to grant the crown annual supplies the
backbone of absolutism was broken
and the nerve centers Of tyranny were
paralyzed Henceforth we were a
crowned republic. London Answers

Secret of the Baked Potato.

Occasionally Il restaurant Or a sys-
TEN of railroad dining cars becomes
famous for its baked potatoes. At the
San Francisco exposition several col
lege girls operated an establishment
at which the baked potato was the
piece de resistance and cost so cents.
All these successes have been based
on a simple little trick.
A potato should be larded before be-
ing baked, so as to fill up the porous
skin and retain the full flavor. 1t is
necessary to cover only the skin with a
little lard, bacon grease or butter to
accomplish the end.
A potato so treated and baked just
the proper length of time, usually
three-quarters of an hour. will surpass
a potato cooked in any other way. 1t
must always be broken open immedi-
ately upon being taken from the oven,
so that the steam may escape.-New
York Sun.

FIND HEART ON RIGHT /,
SIDE, LIVER ON LEFT
Body Of William King Described az
Left Handed Both Inside and Out.

st. Louis.-The body of William King.
which has been preserved for twenty
months, is described by an anatomist
as left handed, both inside and out"
according to a statement made public
at the City hospital.
In May, 1915, King. who was thirty
five years old. applied at the hospital
for treatment. He said he was q Ia
borer and had lived most of his life in
Wisconsin. He was suffering from ty-
phoid fever.
When asked who should be notified
in case of his death King said: Don't
worry about that. Just cut me up and
examine my body. There's something
wrong with me besides the fever"
He died a few days later. When sur
geons made an examination Of the
body they found one of the most alb
normal cases in the history Of surgery.
The heart was on the right side, the
liver on the left; the appendix was on
the left side and the spleen on the
right. The stomach was turned around
completely. On the left lung were three
lobes; the right lung had but two. The
left kidney was larger and lower than
the right one.

ORIENTAL COURTESY.
An Ameer's Nice Choice of Words In
Speaking of a Fall.

An Ameer's Nice Choice Of Words In
Speaking of a Fall.
A good horseman may be thrown
from his horse, under some clrcum-
stances, with little or no reflection
upon his skill. The accident may have
been %excusable, even inevitable, when
all the details are known; but as cas-
ually related the u frequently
disappear, and the fall, with it's ig-
nominious suggestion Of incompetency,
alone remains. Lady st. Heller, in
telling Of the deep admiration and re-
gard entertained by the Amer of AZ
ghanistan for Lord Kitchener, gives a
little anecdote Of the orientals instant
perception and avoidance Of the pos
sibility Of any humiliating Implication
for his friend.
Lord Kitchener had suffered q severe
accident that resulted in a leg so bad
ly broken as to necessitate several
weeks complete rest at the time, and
later, two months furlough in Eng
land, and a resetting Of the bone. One
Of Kitchener's staff gave the news of
his misfortune to the ameer during a
great tiger hunt at Gwalior.
II told him." the officer wrote Lady
st. Heller, that the chief had a nasty
fall at Poona, his horse tumbling down
an e%mbankment. He Immediately ask
ed for a piece Of paper and wrote d
telegram Of sympathy in Persian. He
handed il TO Sir Henry McNahon and
asked him to send it off Immediately.
Sir Henry wrote it down in English,
but when he came to the words to
hear Of your fall from your horse the
ameer instantly corrected him, saying:
"'No, no! Not from your horse
with your horse; in notwithstanding
difference!'"

SPEAKER BOOSTS JANVRIN.
His Only Weakness Is on Slow Bound
ing Balls.

'S
IF Harold Janvrin, the Boston Amer
leans utility intielder, ever overcomes
II fault that now mars his play he
will be heralded as one of the greatest
intielders in the history Of the game"
says iris Speaker. For years l was a
teammate of Janvrin, and no one APP
preciates the wonderful natural ability
he possesses more than 1 do. He can
so a great distance to his right or left
and make the hardest kind of chances
look easy. He has a corking throwing
arm and car let the ball go from any
position. He is q good mar at touch
ing a runner.
mo doubt You are wondering what
al his possible weakness be. Well,
here it is-a slow bounding ball hit d.
rectly at him. On such balls Janvrin
always appears to start a tri1e late.
He is so wonderfully fast that when he
goes into high speed he usually over
runs the easy chances. Only such balls
made trouble for him in the big series.
Regular work, I believe, would soon
overcome the fault, and then a more
finished fielder than Janvrin would be
hard to find"

the fascinating town nesting among
the hills, white rooted and Moorish,
and on, still higher, by the winding
road or up the nearly perpendicular
flights of rock stairs which furrow the
frowning crag with their sharp, zigzag
outlines to Anacapri, 500 feet or so
above, every step of the way breathes
the pride and splendor and degradation
Of the islands greater days.

Potato Bread.

Potato bread is not alone a ration for
wal stricken peoples, but also a very
pleasing and nourishing food which
any American housewife can prepare
by using a recipe made up by the de-
partment of agriculture. 1t calls for
three pounds of boiled and mashed po-
tatoes and two and a quarter pounds
of wheat flour. Bread made with these
materials has a rich brown crust, an
appetizing odor, a very agreeable taste,
and will keep fresh several days longer
than ordinary bread.-Popular Maya

Tho Mikado's Title.

The ruler Of Japan really should tie
called ten-o, not mikado. The latter
means royal gate" and is a title some
what similar to sublime porte, which
is used indifferently to near the Turk
ish sultan, his government or the coun-
try itself. Ten-o means "heaven's high
est" a title surprising all the most
grandiloquent European efforts. The
original japanese equivalent for ten-o
is soumelamikoto, but the former is
universally used, perhaps on account
Of its brevity.
