If it 8 in the Belcclaire it is
good" said a patron who is a
very good friend. What he
meant is that anything in the
line Of food that gets ~ place
on the Belleclaire menu is all
right.
Well, it is.
The Belleclaire reputation
has been won largely because
Of the good food it serves It's
guests
We would be very short
sighted, indeed. if we did NOT
zealously guard this reputation
If there is any one thing in
the world that requires the most
expert knowledge. it is knowing
how to buy food.
The markets have thought
for a long time that we are all
fired particular in our food
buying, and so we are, but we
are willing to pay the price
because our customers expect
the best, and they get it.
When you want good eating,
come to the Belleclaire-you
not only get good food, but
you get good cooking and good
service.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE
Senator Had Not Intended Jocose Re.
mark to Be Taken as Seriously
AZ Il Was.

An official Of the house Of repre-,
sentatives met distinguished United
States senator in the halls of the cap
itol. They were old friends, and both
were born in Kentucky. It was ut
time when there was not much stirring
about the big building, and the two sat
down to talk. The conversation turned
on what the doctors Of America were
doing, and discussion of specialists.
The official suggested that he had a
relative who was distinguished alien
list.
"There would seem to be a good field
for work along his line right here in
the CAPITOL" remarked the senator. II
know some members Of the house and
senate whom he might examine"
"Well, I expect him in Washington
very shortly" returned the official, in
all innocence, land I want him to meet
you"
It was not until several seconds later
when the senator laughed that the Of.
fetal realized that an explanation was
in order.

Ben Franklln's Simple Diet.

1t is amusing to read how Ben
Franklin thrived on a biscuit, or a
slice Of bread, a handful of raisins, or
a tart from the pastry cook and a
glass Of water, varied ut times by
boiled rice or a potato, or .hasty pud-
ding of his own making. Upon this
fare grew Americas greatest states
man and the worlds greatest philoso-
pher. The rich and ambitious youth
of these days would scorn such a diet,
holding that it was the eating that
made the man. But Benjamin not
only saved time and money by his new
diet, but as he says: II made greater
progress from that greater clearness
Of head and quicker apprehension
which generally attended temperance
in eating and drinking" This abstemi-
GUS life did not seem to detract from
his health, but rather contributed to his
longevity, for he lived to be eighty.
four years old.

ONE OF WORLDS cuRIosITlEs
Fir Tree In Belgium, Has Characters.
tics Unlike Any Of It's Kind So
Far az Known.

What is claimed to be one Of the
most curious trees in the world was
eound in Belgium by NJ. Louis Pre-.
president of the Royal Botanical So
,iety of Belgium. 1t is a fir tree, still
standing at last account, in the forests
Of Aliaz, Canton of vaud.
"This particular tvee," reports Pro
lessor Pire, Stands 4,50O feet above
the sea and is surrounded by forest
Of frs, which it exceeds in height by
30 to 40 feet.
"The trunk of this tree is ten me-
:ers, or little more than thirty feet,
IN circumference at the base. At about
a yard from the ground it puts out,
on the south side, seven offshoots.
which have grown into trunks as strong
and vigorous as those of the other
trees in the forest. Bent and gnarled
ut the bottom, these side-trunks soon
straighten themselves up and rise per-
pendicularly and parallel to the main
stem.
"Another most curious fact/is that
the two largest side-trunks IRE con-
nected with the principal stem by SUBJ
luadrangular braces resembling grid
ers. These beams have probably been
formed by an anastomosing Of
branches, which, common enough
among the angio-sperms, is extremely
rare among conifers."

Superstition. Concerning Moon,

That the moon can make people
mad is still a prevalent belief, and
even most of those who pride them
selves on being free from oil supersti-
ton would hesitate to lie where the
moon can shine upon them while they
sleep. For would they not run the
risk Of being "moon struck?" Does
not Othello in the agony Of his soul
exclaim:
IT'S the very error Of the moon,
She comes more near the earth than she
was wont, Il
And makes men mad.
Science ridicules all Of this today,
pointing out that the moon can send us
nothing but her light, which is only o
feeble reflection of that Of the sun, and
the attraction Of her gravity, which
seems to affect the rise and fall Of the
tides.

Formation and Color.

The iridescence Of nacre, or mother
of-pearl, is q matter of form and not
actual color. In fact, all "changeable"
colors are more or less the result Of
form even where there Is augmentation
beneath, such as in certain ribbed silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal, MS q. file, there is
the same play of colors.
In the case of mother-of-pearl an in.
teresting experiment has been made.
An impression Of the pearl was TAX
en- upon pure white wax. It was then
found that the apparently smooth sur
face Of the pearl had still sufficient
Irregularities to impress upon the wax

after they had rolled as far as they
