The iKromarnraphe.

There has been invented in Europe
a music typewriter called the kromar-
graphic. With the aid Of this lnstru-
ment. il is said, the composer may pro-
duce a typewriter scroll without the
trouble of making the characters by
hand. All that he has to do is TO place
himself ut the piano and give free play
to his creative fancies. Every stroke
upon the keys is registered in regular
musical character upon a paper scfoll
wound upon a drum. The machine OPP
crates through a system of electric con-
facts with the piano keys. The regis
terine apparatus, which resembles an
ordinary typewriter in size, may, In or
der TO remove discordant sounds, be
placed at distance from the piano,
even in an adjoining room. -Chrlstlan

MEN SET IN "HlGH PLACES"
Those Only Admirable Who Remain
Affable and Generous to Those
of Lower Levels.

Speaking of the Mount Everest ex-
petition, Sir Francis Younghusban0
says: AT great heights men get very
nervous and irritable. At 10000 feet
they begin to lose patience with one
another, and the higher they climb the
deeper they hate
There is moral in that for men
seeking high attitudes in our common
huIuan life.
May it never be said Of them with
truth: "The higher they climb the
deeper they hate
1t is fine thing to find man who
goes upward to great heights without
losing his head his nervous eGuipolse,
his self-control. 1t is an inspiration
to us who plod and drudge along at
the lower levels to find him generous,
amiabIe, affable, ready to meet all
Corners and faithful to his friends.
On the other hand, ii is deplorabie
TO come upon man who wins his way
to eminence of any sort, and In tiiat

FISH STEW EXCELLENT Dish
Home Demonstration Agents of ths
Department Of Agriculture Rec
ommend 1t Highly.

], The "p;Re bark fish stew" which is
being marketed by the canning clubs
in the southern states along the At
lantic and gulf coasts, should be Of
interest to housewives, says the New
York Times. The development oil
combination foods peculiar to certain
localities has been particularly fos'
tered by extension agents of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural coll
leges which carry on boys and girls
club work. Almost every country in
the world and practically every dis
trict in the United States, has a spe-
cial "one-piece" dish made of the prod
ucts in that region. The gumbo of
the far South, the New England boiled
dinner, the bouillabaisse of Marseilles
reproduced in New Orleans Hun
garian goulash, Chinese chop suey, In
dian curry, Irish stew, French ragout
are instances of this tendency to blend
fayors in one dish.
Pine bark fish stew is character
istic dish in South Carolina. Very
probably it was introduced by settlers
from the southern part of France and
from Italy. Italians living in south
ern California serve a similar fish
stew The home demonstration agents,
seeking popular and somewhat novel
product which would not be in COM
petition with commercial canned
goods, decided to have the clubs make
a speciality of canning pine bark fish
stew.
Onion, tomatoes, celery, pfmento
and fish are the ingredients, which are
cooked slowly in vegetable oil and
poured over southern style" rice. AT
large out-of-doors gatherings and com
munity lunches this is served on pieces
of pine bark, giving the dish its name.
In Florida, Georgia and all the gulf
states various local fish are adapted
to the combination.

Doubles SHOOTING Popular.

Doubles shooting is gaining great
popularity among trapshooters Of this
country. BY doubles shooting is meant
the release of two targets at the
same time, one to the left and the
other to the right The shooter then
tries to break both of them before
they fall to the ground, firing one load
Mt each target. This is a real test of
shooting ability and for this reason it
is gaining in popularity. No one seeks
a real test of his ability more than n
trapshot. Because of the increased
interest in this phase of the sport it
is apparent that the doubles champion
ship tournament at the Grand Ameri-
can handicap this year will be a much
better event than in the past The
shooters have had greater practice at
this style of shooting than ever be-

PROMPT Delivery.

George L. Loft, son of the candy
magnate and former congressman,
created a sensation on the stock ex-
change recently, when he sold suit
of clothes off his back for $50 and
made spot delivery. The young bro
ker breezed onto the floor of the ex-
change early in the session, wearing
brand-new Palm Beach suit It was
so conspicuous some of his colleagues
roughed him a bit and in the fracas
the coat was torn slightly. Thereupon
Loft yelled out for bid for the out
fit, Just as if he were selling 100
shares of Loft, Inc. 4 broker in the
crowd snapped hack bid of $50 and
demanded instantaneous delivery. Loft
was game. He peeled off his coat and
then shed his trousers. and departed
for the Luncheon club attired in his
b. V. DIS. He was able to resume bust
ness later through the discovery of an
old suit of clothes in a locker.-New
