"Apple-Pic Order"

Few persons take time to trace ex-
pressions they use every day. When
a thing is in "applepie order" for
example, you mean, of course, that it
is clean and neat and generally every
thing that it should be. The express
sion originated under somewhat differ
ent circumstances, observes the New
York Sun.
"Apple-pie order" is an old New
England phrase. and is well grounded
in the blue laws Of several centuries
ago. Formerly the New England
housewife did little work OH Sunday
and among the many things she didn't
do was baking. Everything Of that
nature was finished Saturday night.
When the baking was done all the
pies and cakes we're ranged in a row
on the Kitchen shelf. With the -four
still on her hands and apron, the good
housewife would come out wish a
smile on her face ready for the Sab
bath. Everything was in f'apple-pie
order"

Aquatic bir3s that are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at VIII by expelling the air
that is inclosed within the film OF

making them heavier than water
This mechanical trick Oh the part
of diving birds is probably familiar
to all who have watched the king.

the sudden contraction in the birds
apparent size as it takes the plunge.
This Is much more easily observed in
the case of the starting, which some.
times initiates the kingfisher by plung-
ing into the water. The shrinkage Of
the bird is very apparent when, after
lowering above the surface, it turns
downward to dive.

SPOON ON THE sTAlRWAYS
Ideal New York Trysting Place Found
to Be in the Midst of the city's
Busy Whirl.

Publish ii not in the streets of AS
Gallon nor whisper it to old Mrs.
Grundy, but Dan Cupid finds way
even in the prosaic jungles of lower
Manhattan to provide youthful lovers
with place to spoon, observes New
York Sun writer. The top of Fifth
avenue bus may do for those who are
hardened to the ways of the great city,
but there are some, indeed many, who
just can't say sweet nothings to each
other with the rest of the interna-
tional world looking on.
For these kind, architects have pro-
vided quiet spot in practically every
office building in New York, and 1t
only remained for the sweet young
things to find it. They have.
It's fact that the average New
Yorker, business man or woman, mes
senger or stenographer, has no use for
the stairway. They, he or she, ride
in the elevator, even il It's only one
floor. AS a result, the stairways have
all the seclusion of quiet nook, hours

BELIEVE THEY HOODWlNK GOD
Chinese Seemingly Have Little Re-
spect for the intellectually
of Their Deities.

One of the strangest things about
the religion of the Chinese is the rev.
erence they hold for their gods, de-
spite the belief that the gods are gull
lible as man of inferior intellect.
Instead of attributing infallibillty to
the deities they worship, as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks of childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
Usually the tricks employed are to
make sure the god does not betray
the sins of Chinese to the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment of the kitchen god just
before he is to start on one of his
periodic visits to heaven. This trip
is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven days.
The householder thinks he must pre-
vent the god from reciting his sins to
the deities. SO it is the general GUS
tom, before the god is to depart on
the seven days absence, to prepare
large hollow balls of the gods favorite
candy. The kitchen deity has very
small throat. When the candy, of
which he is extremely fond, is placed
before him, the Chinese say the god
stuffs his mouth with it, being 100
gluttonous to leave any behind. His
small throat prevents swallowing The
confection, and thus when he appears
before the ruling deities he is unable
IN talk and the houSehOlderS sins
remain a secret.

GREAT SHOCK AFFECTS HAIR
WslI-Authenticated Cases OF Sudden
Whitening Over the More lmpor-
tsnt Nerve Centers.

There has been some interesting
correspondence in the Scientific Ameri-
can about the possibility of persons
hair turning white overnight" and
now Elmer G. Still of Liyermore,
Cal, contributes Il letter from the
viewpoint of phrenologist. He as
serts that there are many cases on
record in which great shock to a
specially sensitive emotion was fol-
lowed at once by whitening of the
hair Just over the region of the
brain in which this emotion Is sit
uated.
He cites one case of man with a
large bump of cautiousness, who was
upset from a sail boat and chung all
night to its bottom. In the morning
his hair had turned grey in two tufts
the size Of half dollar on each side
of his head, right over the centers of
cautiouSnesS.
Another was the case of a woman
whose hair fell out over the region of
cOnjugal love while her husband was
undergoing serious operation. The
hair grew in again, but quite white.
The region Of conjugal love is situated
about two inches directly back hori-
zontally from the meatus of the ear.
Another is that of a man with q
triangular tuft of white hair just below
the center of the back of the head,
over the region of philoprogenitive-
ness, or love of children, and on in
quiry Mr. Still found that he was
man remarkably fond of children.

the statement was made. He tells the
story:

Novelist Lost VOGUE.

During the deIuge of realism Mrs.
Southworth's vogue as a novel-writer
declined, but the Older generation, or
the older generations, remained faith
ful to her and her books sold well.
Mrs. Southworth had furnished much
entertainment for young and old peo-
pie for more than fifty years, but there
came a time when age forced her to
restrict her output. At least two Of
her novels were published after her
death, and during her life and after
its close many of iier stories were re-
published, and there were numerous
NEW editions"

sumnatlletic Childhood.

Lately. in a garden not far from
Boston, the lord Of the manor set q
trap to cat.h the woodchucks that
were monopaIizing his vegetables. In
stead OF serving its purpose, the trap
caught neiellboring family cat by the
paws, and nobody dared to release the
agonized animal-until two little chill
dren came along. Hearing the cries
of the cat, one of the children gently
petted the cat, while the other opened
the jaws Of the trap and released poor
kitty. The incident serves to illustrate
the fearleSsness of sympathetic child
hood in relieving distress.
