SIMPLY PERFECT IN THEORY
Kitchen Management Left Nothing to
Be Desired, Except the Prosaic
Fact Of Cooking.

An experienced housewife, who has
newer taken any other course in do
nestle science than that afforded by
wrestling many years with the prob
lem of three meals day, felt much
interested when her college-bred daugh-
ter told her that she was going to
spend the weekend with a friend who
was the last word in the highbrow
world of the cooking specialist.
Mother, 1t was wonderful" ex-
claimed the girl on her return. ION
one side of her white-tiled laboratory
she doesn't call it kitchen-there
is the dishwashing machine and ON
the other the long tables for the con-
structive work. The arrangements
are perfect, and everything is clean
and shining. I'm just crazy about 1t.
Not bit like our haphazard Kitchen"
"And Ipresume the food was equally
wonderful" said the really sympathetic
mother, ready to learn of the new
generation. .'Tell me about it,"
The returned visitor looked thought
full. "Well, you see, we didn't go very
deep into cookery. She never does. We
had dinner made in the fireless cook
er, some sort Of stew. And the rest
Of the stuff she gets at the delicates-

DREADED SNAKE UNDER FALLS
According to Indian Superstition, Rep,
tiles Breaking Loose Ended in
Destruction Of Villages.

Formerly, according to Indian su-
perstition, there dwelt under Niagara
rails a gigantic snake, which now and
then would make it's way to an Indian
village and coil itself around the town.
1t swallowed the people, and made
itself further obnoxious by poisoning
the springs and wells with it's spittle.
The Hiwassee river, in the south
ern Allegheny region, is infested by
an enormous leech. Occasionally a
certain ledge of rock is exposed when
the water is low, so that people are
tempted to cross over it. Anybody
who tries to do so, however, is inevi-
tally seized and sucked down.
Near the head of the Savannah
river are the famous Talula falls. It
has been well known for centuries
that the Thunder Spirit lives beneath
these falls, and it's roaring may at
any time be heard in the noise of the
cataract.
One hundred miles to the southeast
of Death valley. Gin California; is
Dead mountain, which is the abode Of
multitudes of ghosts. At all events,
the Indians so believe, though when
one approaches the mountain one per-
ceives that the spooks are merely
broken and precipitous rocks shining
white in the sun.

Life Of Chilean Girls.

The Chilean girls reason for being is
marriage, and one of her earliest les
sons is that woman's place is indeed
the home and that man is ordained her
master, the World Outlook says. Old
maids have particularly horrid time
In Chile and most Of them take the
yell. There is little else for them to
do, for they can't all become school
teachers and no other career is open
for the young woman who does not
marry. Women journalists, doctors,
lawyers, stenographers and clerks are
practically unknown.
Perhaps this somewhat oriental ideal
of Chilean womanhood explains why
the tinkling of the piano rather than
the clicking of typewriter keys is the
chief mechanical noise one hears at the
Santiago College for Girls, and why the
most important exercise is an exhibit
of fine needlework and hand-painted
china rather than essays on "Why me
Woman Needs the Vote"

Robert Burns.

Burns is the singer of songs as i'm
mortal as love, pure as the dew Of
the morning, and sweet as its breath;
songs with which the lover woos his
bride and the mother soothes her
child, and the heart of people beats
with patriotic exultation; songs that
cheer human endeayor and console hui
man sorrow and exalt human life. We
cannot find out the secret of their pow
er. Until we know why the rose is
sweet or the dew-drop pure, or the
rainbow beautiful, we cannot know
why the poet is the best benefactor
of humanity. If we were forced to
surrender every expression of human
genius but one, surely we should re-
tain poetry; and If we were called to
lose from the vast accumulation of lit
erature all but score of books, among
that choice and perfect reminder
would be the songs of Burns.-G George
Wilson Curtis.

Real "Fire King"

Back somewhere around 1880 was
man called NJ. Chabert, better known
as "the fire king" and these are some
Of the things he did to prove himself
inhuman and marvel in London. To
begin with, he swallowed 40 grains Of
phosphorus, which is quite enough to
kill two good-sized men, and after that
he slipped oil at $50 degrees, and lived
long enough to rub red-hot fire shovel
over his tongue, face and hair, and
then lived some more,
Some few years later, on challenge
of $3.50, he repeated the feat, won the
wager and threw in few more like
stunts for good measure. He swallow
ed a piece of burning torch, for In
stance, and then, costumed in coarse
wooden, entered an oven at $50 de-
grees, sang song and cooked two dish
es of beefsteak.

Famous Writer Of Songs.

The songs that George +. Root COM
posed or arranged during the Civil war
would almost fill volume. With
George Root music was profession.
He was born in Massachusetts in 1920,
and studied music both in this country
and abroad, Before, during and for a
considerable time after the Civil war,
Mr.. Root was music publisher in Chi
cago.
Previous to the war he had written
a number Of cantatas and similar COM
positions, but when the war started he
turned all of his attention to composing
war songs.
One of the most spirited songs was
"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching" and its composition should
entitle him to rank among the makers
Of living national music.
Next to Tramp, Tramp, Tramp"
the most popular Of Roots war songs
was "The Battle Cry Of Freedom"

TRUTH OF CLOCKS SOUNDS
Real Reasons Why Large Timepiece is
Always Considered to Be Saying
"Tick, Took"

Why do we always regard clock
rs saying 'tick, tock," and not tick,
tick" like watch? Is there really
any distinction between the alternate
sounds, or is it matter of psycholt
ogy? Attention to the problem has
been given by an investigator, whose
conclusions are most interesting.
The general opinion, according to
him, has always been that it was mere
xly matter of chance whether the
stick" accompanied the left and the
"tock" the right beat of the pendu-
lum or vice versa. The first impor-
tant discovery this authority made was
that the "tick" always marks the mo-
ment when the pendulum reaches the
extreme point of detonation from the
perpendicular on it's beat to the right,
while the reaching of its swing limit
to the left is marked by the ''tock" in
pendulums Of all lengths. He found
that owing to the fact that the anchor
of the escapement mechanism is above
the rotating escapement wheel and in
the same plane with it, the conditions
under which its arms strike the cogs
of the wheel are not the same for
both arms.
One Of the arms Of the anchor
strikes a cog of the wheel moving up
ward, in direction opposed to that
of the anchor, while the other arm
strikes against the cog while it is
moving downward, nearly in the same
direction as the anchor. The result
of the unequal conditions under which
the two arms of the anchor engage
the cogs of the escapement wheel is
naturally an acoustic difference In the
sounds produced by the contact Of the
parts.

Fishinn In Japan.

! japanese fishermen catch their fish
in e way very different from our fish
ermen. The fisherman will sit in his
little boat and have with him eight or
ten ugly black birds, almost the size
Of a goose, called cormorants. These
birds live altogether on fish. They are
trained to obey their owners voice.
He makes them dive into the water
after the fish and they are so quick
and clever and sharp-eyed that they
hardly ever come up out of the water
without fish in their beak. A ring is
placed around their Threats to prevent
them from swallowing their booty, but
it is not so tight that it prevents them
from breathing. When the man is
through fishing he unfastens this ring
and let's his birds eat some of the
smaller fish which they have caught.

MADE TIME OF GAY REUNION
beating the Bounds" in Virginia, at
Least, Drew Together Neigh
bors From Far and Near.

Beating the bounds" was spe-
clally important duty in the colonies,
where land surveys We're imperfect
land grants irregular, and the bound
aries of each mans farm or planta-
ton at first very uncertain. In vir-
GINA this beating the bounds was
called provisioning" Landmarks
were renewed that were becoming OBJ
liberated; blazes on a tree would be
somewhat grown over ~ they were
deeply recut; piles of great stones
containing certain number for des-
lgnation were sometimes scattered
the original number would be re-
stored. Special trees would be found
fallen or cut down; new marking
trees would be planted, usually pear
trees, as they were long-lived. Dis
puted boundaries were decided upon
and announced to all the persons pres
ent, some of whom at the next .'pro-
cessioning" would even be able to
testify as to the correct line. This
provisioning took place between
Easter and Whitsuntide, that lovely
season of the year in Virginia; and
must have proved a pleasant reunion
OF neighbors, a eMay-party. In New
England this was called "perambu-
lating the bounds" and the surveyors
who took charge were called "peram-
Dulators" or "boundsgoers." Alice

serious crisis. involving not only the
cabinet, but also the reigring house of
Italy, are in circulation as he opening
OF parliament, set for Dec. /, APP
The socialists, proud Of their recent
victory, are eager TO continue what
they call their march forward The
older, more authoritative members OF
sne party, however, such as Deputy
Iurau, leader of the intransigeants;
Deputy Trever and Signor Madigliani,
are against any excuses.
The new elements which have en-
tered the socialist parliamentary group
are declared to be animated by reyolu-
tlonary sentiments and to favor an ex-
IRENE policy which, in their opinion,
Will inevitably lead to the advent OF
Boishevism in Italy. This section now
Is undoubtedly the most numerous, II
not the most important one, in the
party. II is considered that it will al
most certainly assume command of the
party because OF the audacity and de-
termination of its members to attain
control by whatever means seems besS
to them.

Will be able to accomplish some SUI

Formerly the socialists never attend
ed the opening of the parliament, alb
senting themselves so they might avoid
being present when the king delivered
his speech from the throne and to es-
cape taking the prescribed oath in thu
kings presence.
The newly extreme socialists. how
ever, now insist the entire group should
attend the ceremony, hiss the king, in
suit him the moment he appears, and
prevent him from speaking. They have
even gone so far as to threaten that he
would be attacked on his way to the
chamber or upon his return.
All this, il is pointed out. may be
much more than Is possible of accom-
plishment. Nevertheless il has had the
effect of making the responsible au-
| thoritles restless and anxious. II has
been conceded among them that there
Is no measure which 1t would be pos
sible to take to prevent $50 members
whistling and shouting and making it
imnossible for the king to be heard,
The rules Of the Italian parliament
do not provide for any such contingency
as is thus threatened, for 1t Is stipu-
lated that no police or armed force can
be employed in the hall where the SEN
ators and deputies meet. There would
be no Of applying coercion, as
the meeting Monday, Dec, l, will be the
first gathering of the new parliament
tary body. and the rules of the new
chamber for maintaining order will not
then be formulated.
The council of ministers has been
meeting almost daily to discuss this
grave situation, as well as the Adriatic
complications.
