OriQin of Biscuits.

Biscuits are said to have been in
vented by chance in the year 1850 in
France. 1t was the accidental result
of an order given by King Henri to
produce a cake that could not be Sc
cured anywhere else in the kingdom.
The little son of village baker
baked the cake for which his father
had made the dough, twice instead of
once. This is also the origin of the
name of "bis cults" which translat-
ed means baked twice.

that he was not much of a meat
eater himself aroused his interest in
the primitive Americans who seemed
to thrive on vegetable diet. While
the Kaiser ate a certain amount of
white meat, he never ate dark or
red meat, and at night he made his
meal almost entirely of fruit. He
was fond of fish and said it pro-
duced brain, as it is a fine brain
food, adding laughingly, ut is too
bad the majority of people don't eat
fish entirely!'
Colonel Wiser, our. former mill
tary attache, now general, told me
that at state banquet the Kaiser
placed his son, Prince Eitel Fred
erick, next to him 1.-THE colonel, and
that the Prince spoke of nothing else
during the entire function but
American methods of open fighting,
which we long ago learned in our
conflicts with the Indians. He said
they had heard much of our success
in this character of warfare and
were anxious to learn more about
our methods.
The Kaiser objected very much to
the fact that many of the foreign
opera singers were attracted to New
York by reason of the fabulous sums
paid them at the Metropolitan Opera
House.

He was very much interested, for
instance, in the experiments and
discoveries of Luther Burbank. To
make Germany self-supporting as
far as food resources were con-
cerned was one of his dearest ambi-
tions He realized that in the event
of a world-war his people would
probably suffer more from lack of
food than they would from hostile
bullets, and he was hoping that he
would be able to obviate that con-
dition before his country was put to
the test. He was constantly preach
ing simplified diet and the conserva-
ton of food reserves, and he had
great hopes that much could be done
in a scientific way to help solve gen.
eral food problems. When attending
dinners given him by his officers,
his wishes respecting simple menus
were always carefully followed.
A case OF extremely large seed
Iless oranges was sent to me from
Florida one year. END l showed the
Kaiser one of them 1t was so large
he thought it was a grapefruit, and
he expressed his admiration for the
attainments of men who could thus

for the common good.
L told him of the loganberry
which had been developed in the
West, and he sent a representative
to me afterward to ascertain how a
sample could be secured for expert
mental purposes. He said he would
plant it in the Royal Experimental
Gardens and ascertain if it was
feasible to grow the berries in Ger

Kaiser had sent representative to
him to purchase some loganberry
Jelly, arG had been told that l had
called it to the Kaiser's attention.
Before the war, 1 suggested to the
Kaiser that it might be of mutual
advantage to my country and Ger
many to arrange for an exchange
of medical and dental professors,
and he was very much taken with
the idea. He sent DIR. Won Illberg,
his private physician and a doctor
in the German army, to see me
about the project, and l was asked
to lay out a plan for consideration.
At about the same time he asked
me to recommend any changes that
might occur to me that would add
to the efficiency. of the wonderful
Berlin. The breaking out of war,
however, rut an end to these pro- =
ects of peace. What a power for
good the Kaiser might have been in
the world but for his cursed thirst
for world dominion.
The kaise.' enjoyed American
humor. He was very fond of Mark
Twain, and he followed one or two
of the American monthlies and
weeklies more or less regularly.
He told me that, one evening while
in his sittingroom in the Berlin
palace, reading something in an
American magazine, he ran across

so much and so loud that the ladies
of the court, who heard him in an
adjacent room, came running in
with their knitting to see what the
matter was.

In a series of flashes it came over

Mr.. Mason studied me a moment
with questioning eyes. Poor little

Advice to the Lovelorn

4 SOLDIERS SWEETHEART
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
L have been going about with a
young man now in the service.
love him and he has confessed his
love for me with promise of mar
riage.
He has never introduced me to his
father; his mother is not living, but
l have met his brother and sister
outside his home. l see him on
Thursday evenings for perhaps an
hour and on Saturday and Sunday
evenings. He tells me of going to
parties and theaters on his off nights
with other friends. l should like to
know if he is doing right in not TAX
ing me to his home, and should he
visit me oftener or am 1 selfish to
expect more of him. DO you really
think he cares for me as he says?
L. G.
I suppose when you say in the
service" you mean that your fiance is
either in the Army or Navy, and it
is a surprise to me that he has as
much time for visiting as you state.
Young men of my acquaintance in
either of these two branches of the
service have felt themselves lucky
to get an evening off much less fire.
quently. So perhaps you mean that
he belongs to some of the civilian
bands of war workers, which would
account for his amount of leisure.
l think really that three evenings a
week ought to content you. Do you
