audience at the city Iditorium before
Billy made his appearance Still
other stories, which he did rot men
ton, but which have gone the
rounds, were recalled privately by
Mr.. Matthews. and placed in the

One OF the slanderous utterances
accredited to MFR. Sunday Is that he
called one night for any butcher
present to stand up. One man arose
in the audiences. as the story runs
and Sunday ask1ed him to please come
down to the front. II want you to
take these two chickens out and dress
them!" the preacher is reputed to
have said. pointing to two young
women sitting down before him.

why LAMB AND MINT SAUCE
English Writer Gees Far Back to
Trace Custom So Popular In
That Country.

Lamb is the only meat with which
mint sauce is partaken, and England Is
the only country where the custom is
practiced.
The latter fact seems to disprove the
idea that 1t originated with the Jews,
else K would have been adopted In
other countries where the race predom-
mates to an even greater extent than
In our own. Hence. also, It could not
have originated or been associated
with the "bltter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get clue to mint sauce. And 1t Is
one that leads us to what is probably
the true reason of its combination with
lamb, New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts immemOrial time has
led us to associate with the flesh Of
the lamb. These, our forbears de-
cided, were provocative Of indigestion.
and therefore an adjunct must be in
troduved to correct this tendency.
Mint during all ages has been asso-
ciated with such an office. The Latin
poets have broken into song regarding
its merits, and the giyer Of feast
never thought of laying the meat on
the table until the boards had been
secured with this herb. So, In adtli-
ton to being corrective, mint had
reputation as an appetizer. Gerarde
says, "The smell of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to greedy
desire of meat."-London Tit-Bits.

Water for House Plants.

Water is essential to the life Of
plants, whether they be in the open
ground or In pots, for only In the form
of solutions in water can the roots
suck up the juices Of the earth, and
1t is the water circulating through the
channels of the trunk and branches
that permits the exchanges between
the leaves and the rest of the vege-
table.
Plants in house should not be
watered at regular stated intervals; |;
do the plants out.of-doors receive rain
on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They
should be watered whenever they need
1t. This is the only safe rule. And
we can tell when they need 1t by feel
Ing the earth in which they are grow
ing; so long as this feels moist the
plants do not need water.

killarney" Not Out Of Place.

Life ut best pays back rather limit.
ed dividends, and knowing this, we
should as we journey along times
thoroughfares, try, whenever the op-
p0rtunity offers, to bring u smile to
tired lips. Even though we must re.
sort to a "blt Of blarney" II we would
accomplish. ,ais happy result, we GER
tainly should do so. Such a course
may dlsplease the person who prides
herself on calling a spade spade
every time, but folks who approve of
tonlng down, as It were, the sharp
edges of life, will feel no twinges of
conscience for playing such role, for
there is all the difference in the world
between base tiattery and true and
merited approval.-Exeimnge.

Sharing Birds Of Paradise.

To obtain the much priced feathers
the New Guinea natives set out for the
forest, knowing that the bird of para
disc seeks to conceal his rainbow hues
in the dense foliage of the trees. If
they can find no haunt of the desired
birds they start calling in excellent I'M
itatIon of the shrill, ugly cry of the
bird OF paradise to its mate. This ruse
is usually successful, and a bird shows
itself only to be shared or shot down
with arrows.
In mating season the~ male bird
dances before the female he desires as
a mnte. to display his beautiful feath-
ers, and at such time so absorbed
are ethe birds in their own affairs that
large numbers are easily taken by
the willy natives.-Savannah Morning
