ORCHID ICE CREAM COMMON
1t Does Not Bear That Aristocratic
Title but Goes by the Very Pie
beian Name Of Vanilla.

Very few Of us would ever think of
ordering orchid ice cream without
little tremor of the pocket book, for
everyone knows that the orchid is the
most expensive of flowers. But there
are thousands of persons who eat or
child ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been aware of the
distinction, ii is none the less a fact.
OF course the ice cream is not ordered
by the aristocratic name of orchid.
On the contrary, it bears the very pie
beian name of vanilla.
There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties Of orchid scattered
over the earth. All of them have the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seems inseparable
from this flower, which looks almost
as though it were product of an I'M
healthy condition in nature. OF all
these $4,000 varieties, only one has any
practical value, and that is the one
from which vanilla comes. The plant
grows abundantly in South and Cen
trail America, and has been transplant
ed to other tropical countries, where
1t is now fiourishing.

Waited Eighteen Years for 1t.

Talk about the returning traveller,
and how he feels his heart beat when
he returns to his native shore from
long, long sojourn in a foreign land
Here's Frederick lockwood, New Eng
lander by birth and resident of Bo-
gotta, Colombia, for IS years as consul,
newspaper correspondent and general
agent.
He landed in this country few days
ago, perfectly tickled to death, as the
girls say, to get back to the U. S. A.
But did he fall down and kiss the
shores or offer burnt sacrifices?
He did not.
He had been longing for q good
sized dish of corned beef hash ever
since he went to Colombia IS years
ago. He had been saving up corned
beef hash appetite all these years. So
when he landed the first thing he did
was to go to a restaurant and order
FIVE portions of his favorite food.-Earl

Ethel's Note.

A woman on the north side who
prides herself on her social position
and always insists on having perfect
service in every way for any occasion,
was called on recently to give a recep-
ton on very short notice to diStin-
guished club woman who was passing
through the city, says the Indianapolis
News. All three of her house serv-
ants were gone that day and only the
cook was at home.
"Ethel," she requested her little five
year-old daughter, ''you go to the door
and usher the guests in while / finish
my toilet"
At first the child objected, but final
~ she was persuaded to go.
The woman went on with her prepa-
ration. which was interrupted several
times by bad luck, the cook, and ev-
erything else. A woman accustomed
to a maid is rather helpless when 1t
comes to dressing without one. But
she heard the guests come In and take
chairs in the reception room and she
supposed all was well. At last she
was ready.
Going to the door to find Ethel she
was Mortified to read this little printed
note pinned TO the back of q chair.

rurlouah FOR Medical Students.

Dean w. s. Leathers of the schou-
Of medicine of the University of Mis-
sissippi, announces that he has instruc-
lions to the effect that all medical stu.
dents who have had az much as one
year of medicine work will be given a
furlough from army service for the
further study of medicine, even though
they be included in the first quota OF
the national draft. This mems that
all medical students who have begun
their work in that field should con.
tinue their studies that they may fill
the places made vacant by -practicins
physicians being called to the fror1,
and this work is just az patriotic as
going to the trenches. Many are re.
serving rooms in the university, for
the pursuit of medical work, and the
indications are to the effect that this
