Communal Kitchens.

The latest proposal for the elimina-
ton Of waste in food and the supply
of meals at minimum cost in England.
includes, what for better term is
called, communal feeding. The COM
munal kitchen has been proposed on
several occasions but, save for few
spasmodic experiments, 1t has not been
given thorough trial. Lord Rhondda
Is interested In the new proposal and
acting with committee of social
workers he is devising plans to give
the scheme a real test. With so many

MAR Helms Chinese Industry.

The European war and consequent
cessation of imports of German aniline
dyes is bringing about a revival of
China's ancient industry of indigo
making. China's fondness for this

growing is especially adapted to the
Yangtze valley and southern China

EXPLAINS LAUGH OF BABIES
We Come Into This World Of Sorrows
With a Mysterious Sense
of Humor.

The human love of nonsense is q di-
vine mystery. We have often heard
pessimists declare that we come into
the world weeping. 1t is truer, think,
to say that we come into it laughing.
For laughter in q baby seems to be its
first conscious apprehension Of some
thing outside its small needs and pains.
tt may cry merely because Il pin is
sticking into it, but it laughs because
already it sees something that makes
it laugh, it knows not why, something
that catches the eye or ear and seems
irrcsistibly funny to it.
There is nothing more mysterious
than baby'S sense of humor. 1t fire.
quently loses il as it grows up, together
with the other trailing clouds Of glory,
but most babies are born with it. To
satisfy it nursery rhymes were invent
ed and to satisfy the same instinct in
grown people THE Hunting of the
Shark" that Incompatible classic,
came into being, and Caverly and Gill
bert and Lear stood On their heads, SO
10 speak, and performed such verbal
antics before high heaven as must
have made the very angels laugh.
When the Owl and the Pussy Cat,
having dincd on mice and slices of
ounce, 'h2nd il hand, on the edge of
the sand" dance by the light of the
moon," there is something which, as
Stevenson WAS fond of saying, delights
the great heart of man. But, of course,
with these modern artists of nonsense
there is usually g. deliberate attempt at
the grotesque and the absurd. We
know why we are laughing, but with
! the Old-faShioncd rhymes of which am
! chiefly thinking, we iaugh-or, for that
matter, cry, perhaps-WithOut having

WaY to SUCCESS.

! Power is the goal of every worthy
ambition and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9TH
ers, says a writer in Success. Power
is self-developed, self-generated. We
cannot increase the strength of our
muscles by sitting in gymnasium and
letting another exercise for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit of leaning
upon others. IF you lean you never
will be strong or original. Stand alone
or bury your ambition to be somebody
In the world.
The man who tries to give his chill
dren q start in the world so that they
will not have so hard a time as he had
is unknOWingly bringing disaster upon
them. What he calls giving them
start probably will give them q set
back in the world. Young people need
all the motive power they can get.
They are naturally leaners, imitatOrs,
copiers, and it is easy for them to de-
velOp into echoes or limitations. They
will not walk alone while you furnish
crutches; they will lean upon you just
as long as YOU will let them.
One of the greatest delusiOns that
human being could ever have is that
he is permanently benefited by contin-
ued assistance from others.

Miners Live Long.

It is an extraordinary fact that even
When deaths from accident are lnclud7

Of Great Britain IS materially lower
than that among any other big class

DAY OF NATIVITY UNKNOWN
World Has Only Tradition to Rely
Upon as to Date of the Birth
Of Christ.

The traditional 25th of DECEMBER as
the date of the birth of the Savior has
no historical authority beyond the
fourth century, when the Christmas
festival was introduced first III Rome
CA. d 360), on the basis of several TO
man festivals (the Saturnaliao Sigil-
1aria, Juvenalia, Brumalia, or Dies
natalis Invicti SoliS). which were held
in the latter part OF December. in COM
memoratiOn Of the golden age of lib
erty and equality, and in honor Of the
sun, who in the winter SOlSticc is, as 1t
were, born anew, and begins his con-
quering march. The only indication Of
the season Of ChriSt'S birth is the fact
that the shepherds We're watching
their flOclls in the field at the time
Iuke II 81, and this fact points to
any other season rather than winter,
and is, therefore, not favorable to the
traditional date. Besides, the ancient
tradition is of 10 account here, as it
varied down to the fourth century.
Clement OF Alexandria relates that
some regarded the 25th, PachOn ii. G.,
May 20), others the 24th or 25th, Phar-
muthi april 10 or 2O), as the day of
Nativity.
AS to modern research, the only
point on which divines generally agree
is that Christ was not born on Christ
mas day, While numerous learned au'
thorities put the birth on almost every
date of the year.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR WIFE
Seek Her in Butchers Shop, Says This
Writer, and Mark Just How p
She Guys.

A good housewife will look at least
two square meals ahead of her nose.
The modern system of marketing dur
ing the high cost regime is such a fine
art that youth contemplating matri-
mony should HE to the market place
for selecting a bride. My boy, Zim
advises in Cartoons Magazine, when
you see a maiden pinching, smelling
and pricing soup bone, you may rely
on her sense of economy, for she is
looking forward not less than two
meals. The soup bone. when cooked,
is merely food in the rough or primi-
tive state. It's choicest by-products
are realized after bouillon stage.
Thereafter comes goulash, the cro-
quetteS and the luscious hash. By all
means avoid the girl who orders choice
cuts of porterhouse or English mutton
chops. She Will not make 4 good help
mate. But the girl who selects the
chuck or neck pieces or the tail end of
a ham bone, and renders them into
dainty, palatable dishes is the one you
want. SO take my advice and seek the
market place when you feel that you
have had your fill of bachelor lonelil
ness and wish taste Of WedlOck. Fol-
low such q girl around until you are
perfectly satisfied, then nail her.

HILL PUZZLE TO BIOLOGISTS
Stone Columns on Eminenoe Near Pa,

A very remarkable geological freak
in Mexico is Il mountain situated near
Pachuca which presents the appear
ance at q distance of being covered
with spikes The sides of the noun
tain are closely studded with stone col
TmnS or palisades. These columns are
five to twelve feet long and as large
round as an average mans body. 1t
is a remarkable uplift of nature which
has the appearance, however, of being
the handiwork of human beings. One
side of the mountain is almost perpen-
dicular and the stone columns pro-
trude from the surface at right angles,
forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca is one Of the most noted
mining districts IN Mexico, and it is
sall " geolOgisgs that this remarka-
bic spiked mountain is out of keeping
with the remainder Of the formation
Of the minoraliZed region. The stone
is rs hard as flint and has withstoOd

Il natural battlement that makes the
mountain appear from a distance like

from this wonderful freak Of nature,

respective underground workings is of
Z an entirely different kind from that Of
