"a Stone to His Memory"

That there is bound to be ambiguity
in the terms of will is almost as well
known among lawyers Of this city as
Is the way to the Hall OF Records In
Chambers street, where the wills are
probated. But the que, kinks which
some individuals with more guile than
conscience put into the aforesaid tes-

Recently II was the executor of a
small estate who entered the Office OF
lawyer to get an opinion. His
friend had died without close kin, he
said, and had made him executor. In
the terms of the will there had been
provision made for a monument to be
erected for the dead man at a cost
not to exceed $500.

MAY BE cLUB-FoorED RACE
Humanity Said to BE Tending Toward
q Condition by No Means 70
Be Desired.

That the human race Is slowly
evolving toward condition Of club
footedness is suggested by DR.. Truman
Able Of Washington In the Medical
Record. Doctor Able points to the
horses hoOf and its evolution from the
five-toed foot Of the prehistoric horses,
by the dropping OF one toe after an
other and the consolidation of the
bones from the knee down.
"When we look at the human skele-
ton and compare the bone Of the tibla
and 1bula and the diglts beyond each
Of them" he continues, ut does not
take much imagination to see suggest
ed in the slender fibula and the dimIn-
utive little toes an early stage In the
reduction process, which IL carried
further would lead to dlminution of
the number Of toes on mans foot"
And he closes his article with these
words: ave come thus to the sug-
gestion Of club-foot as a tendency to-
ward the dropping of the pOst-axial
digit group of the lower limb. And
this dropping of digit group would
seem to he due to restricted develop
ment in the central nervous system
a factor that has been at work since
before the days Of the five-toed horse"

Mint Jelly From Apples.

Wash two quarts of green apples,
cut In quarters, remove stem and bios
som, not the core, put into saucepan
with two cupfuls OF water, cover and
bring to boil. As.soon as the apple be-
gins to boil remove cover and mash
with potato masher. Put pulp into
piece Of cheeseelOth, let 1t hang over
night. Next morning add one cupful
Of warmer sugar to each cupful OF
Juice. Return to fire and add two cup
fuls Of fresh mint leaves that have
been chopped very fine and loosely tied
In piece OF cheesecloth. Boil eight or
ten minutes; skim carefully, press the
mint every time II Is skinned.
Or ten drops OF spearmint can be
added when fresh mint is not obtain

To Dry Fruits.

The most effectual way TO prepar<
all dried or eyapOratcd fruit is: First
pick over the fruit carefully after Sei
lectiDg as good q quality as can b
afforded. Wash well In lukeWGEnA
water, as 1t removes any foreign sub
stance much more quickly and eftectu,
ally than cold water. Let them SOFT
in water to entirely cover OvernighH
The time for soaking depends on
hardness of fruit but suficient watea
should be absorbed to Ill out the fruit
to Its natural outline. 5
Set over a slow fire In a saucepan
to cook very slowly in the water In
which they were soaked. Bring to the
boiling point and set on the back Of
the stove or on an asbestos mat; pc
cook In q double boiler, although the
small size is too small to allow the
prunes or other fruit TO swell. Tbs
fireless cooker Is perfect for this kind
OF cooking.

EACH SOLDIER 70 GET fAam
This 10 Plan which Great War Wee
srsns' Association Has PROPOSED
10 Dominion 0overnment.

Members Of the Great War veterans'
association OF Canada have asked the
dominion government TO establlsh three
farm colonies In the province, In which
soldiers returning from the war may
be loaned $500 each, with which to
start farming. Returned soldiers are
eager to go back to the land and be-
come seIf-supportIng. members Of tho
association say. Many OF them are
incapacitated for earning a living In
other ways, but promoters Of the
scheme urge that In such colonies the
labor could be so communized that no
man need become a burden on the
state. Similar provision for the wild
ows and families Of men killed In ac-
ton Is proposed with the same plan
for divisional labor.
The plan, as outlined In a petition to
the Canadian parliament, entails the
division OF the Land into 1O0-acrs
tracts. and government loans up to
$500 for a period Of 90 years at ave
per cent interest. but that the first
three years Of the loan be without In
terest. This loan, the veterans believe.
might be secured by mortgages on the
personal property Of the soldiers TAX
ing advantage Of the scheme.
The association also requests the
government to appoint O farm adviser
for each community. to teach the sol
diers and their families efficient and
scientific methods Of agriculture and
to superintend the apporhonment OF
the government loan, insuring Its ex-
penditure for the development and
stocking Of the farms. Many of the
men who would be benefited by the
plan know nothing Of hsrming, and
few Of the others are familiar with
scientific methods, so. in order that the
colonies may prove efficient and may
accomplish the greatest amount OF
good, the promoters urge that the
government take over the work OF
education.

london cet,...4ou.. Founder Dead.

In the death OF Sir Joseph Lyons
there passes away the man who did
more than anybody else to revolution
lie the catering business OF London.
Before the time when he threw down
the brush and easel In favor of
business career the "cOffee-hOuse" as
now constituted was unknown In Lon
don. City workers had either to lunch
at one OF the numerous bars or pay
the exorbitant prices charged at the
hotels. To the thousands of women
workers the establishment OF the mod
ern tea shop has come as a great boon,
for before that time there was no ac-
commodation for this class Of society.
In his later days Sir Joseph spent a
good deal OF his time at Brighton, and
was often to be seen on the front
wearing the uniform of an honorary
colonel Of the Territorial force.-Dun-

An Ancient Lift.

The earliest mention Of a device In
any way resembling the modern ele-
vator or lift may be read In vitruvius,
who describes a hosting machine
which was invented by Archimedes.
This elevator of the second century
B. c., was worked by ropes which were
coiled upon winding drum by cap
stan and levers. The same writer re-
fers to another similar machine which
was made to rotate by a man who
walked inside the capstan. Such O
primitive elevator is still in use to
lift passengers and luggage from the
first to the second story of a convent
on Mount Sinai.

saocIna AN ENEMY AIapLanr
Germans Have DEVISED System % De-

fore Firing Bia sheIla

The Germans have arranged their
guns In batteriesI and when an enemy
plane came within range the frst gun
would throw three shells into the air
In rapid succession. writes Lieut.. @. T..
Cummings In the American Boy. These
were so devised that they would ex-
plode at different elevations, llberating
different colors In q smoke cloud. Usu-
ally one Of these would be somewhere
near the plane. Thus the Germans
had three fixed attitudes In the air. and
from their smoke test they could In
stantly determine the altitude Of the
plane.
! A second gun Of the battery fires
big. high explosive shell, aimed as
close to the airplane as possible. II II
explodes close enough it viii wreck
the machine. but the Germans do not
really expect to get one even with the
second shell. The effect Of this ex-
plosion Is to "dud" the air. It creates
air conditions which for a time make
II impossible to move In that vicinity.
It is the third gun which gets him.
Having ascertained the range with the
first. and killed the air with the Sec
ond, a big shrapnel shell Is directed
from the third gun. II the machine
has been fairly caught by the high ex-
plosive shell. the 600 shrapnel balls re-

SOME OBSERVATIONS

A man may speak his mind
and not say much.
The statesman who does not
appreciate himself seldom
makes a good campaigner.
The man who will act as
judge at a baby show has no
bump Of caution.
The man who jollles the cook
gets better feed than the one
who growls at her.
When a vito wants to hear
unpleasant things about her
