WHAT TEACHER HEARS

Every once in a while some school teacher reveals to the world some of the unconscious humor of her pupils as shown in their answer to questions in their school tests. One such an- swer sent by a school marm of Spring field, S. D.. sounds like 1t might be a criticism of much of the literature of the day. for the pupil remarks:
 sentiment is mostly of dust or other impurities that it may get and this usually settles at the bottom
 Another answer seems to disclose serious disorder from which the moon is suffering. leading to the con- lecture that what pseudo scientists have mistaken for efforts to signal the earth may be but frantic calls for the doctor. The pupil says:
 "The moon has sort of blisters on it, some of them have busted and have formed deep crusts."
 Another pupil utters the profound truth:
 Rivers carry their load in solution and expansion" but qualities this dis concerting statement with another which says: "Benefactors which in- fluence the amount of runoff are, If they are streams in deserts, most generally they are always short

BEATING DINING CAR H. C. L

Uniform price list for patrons has been established by the heads of the dining car departments of the various railroads. If you object to it you might as well save your mind. It rep resents the latest concession to the decreasing cost of food Gin the mar ket) and explains why so many peo- pie travel by motor car or the brake beams.
 A small steak Is S1: egg omelet, 65 cents; boiled potato. 20 cents: cof- fee or tea, 20 cents; bread and but ter, 15 cents; tomato soup, 30 cents; salad, 35 cents, and other items in proportion.
 A man who pined to beat the din- ing car game saw a lunch sign close to a station and rushed in for sand wich, a piece of pie and cup of coffee He ad two bites out of the pie when the train moved off and when he made the grand rush the vestibule doors closed against him, and he clung to the step like fly to the ceiling until the next stop, 12 miles away. Why fight fate?
 To enjoy the benefit of the reduced dining car rates one certainly must travel But a lot of people, it is not ed, suppress the wandering instinct and remain quietly at home All this has no effect on mother When she makes her annual visit to daughter she packs her lunch in shoebox, ac- cording to the old usage, and remains superior to the contempt of the train supernumeraries.

If your cake bursts and cracks on top, it is sign that too much flour has been used or that the oven was too hot when the cake was put in to bake
 Flours differ greatly, so there is always some difficulty in determin- the exact amount required when mak- ing the first baking from a new sack One way to insure a good cake is to bake a trial cake before putting the batter in the pans. The top Of the baking powder can may be used for the trial cake pan.

DRUM USED AS TELEGRAPH

LONDON-News is carried by drum beat in africa at a rate as fas as the telegraph, writes A. s. Crawley in the Daily Mail
 "The natives of Central Africa have a wonderful system of signaling from village to village by drum beat, he says.
 Generally the property of the chief, these official drums, which are many, forming a set of varying size. are as a rule of the species known as incision- drum. This is a long, nar- row, hollow cylinder. made from a tree trunk, with the ends closed.
 By relay a message may travel a thousand miles in little more than the velocity of sound
 "The drum telephone depends upon an elaborate code of sounds. Euro pean travellers often order their di1- ner and nights lodging at the next village by a drum message. The vil- lagers use it as we use a postal, tela- graph and telephone service-and there are no charges.
 ITO European the rhythm of a drum expresses nothing beyond a repetition of the same note at diff ferent intervals of time, but to a native it expresses much more. To him the drum can and does speak, the sounds produced from it forming words and the whole measure or rhythm a sense.
 Thus, at dance of companies. in one measure they abuse the men of another company . f. then the rhythm changes and the gallant deeds of their own company are ex- tolled All this, and much more, is conveyed by the beating of drums, and the native ear, trained to detect and interpret each beat, is never at fault"

PETER RABBIT IS TROUBLED

keddy Fox had hardly disappeared m the Green Forest after laying a pump chicken on Jimmy Skunk's ooorstep when Peter Rabbit came hurrying down along the Crooked Little Path down the hill on his way to the dear old briar patch for his morning nap. Ever since Jimmy Skunk had seen Peter safe home that day that Reddy Fox thought he had Peter trapped in Johnny Chuck s house Peter had had a tender place In his heart for Jimmy Skunk And so he had formed the habit of pass ing near Jimmy Skunk's house when ever he could just to say Hello" if Jimmy happened to be about
 This morning Peter was just a lit tie late, so he really did not expect to see anything of Jimmy. As he hurried down the Crooked Little Path. hpperty- -lippertylp. Peter looked over to Jimmy Skunk's house, and, of course, right away he saw
 rhe plump chicken. Peter stopped short and sat up with a whistle of surprise. He knew that Jimmy did sometimes steal a chicken. so he was not surprised that Jimmy should have stolen one during the night just past, for it had been dark night, just the kind of a night of visit Farmer Browns henhouse- But he was sur priscd that Jimmy should have brought the chicken home with him.
 To be sure, Jimmy Skunk is such an easy-going. lazy fellow that he is often very careless. But to leave a plump chicken right on his own dcorstepi That was the very crazi- est thing Peter had ever heard of Jimmy Skunk doing. Why. suppos- ing Farmer Browns boy should hap pen along, He would see the chick en the very first thing and he would know right away that that was Jim- my Skunk's house. Peter didn't like to think of what might happen then
 Now- it was none or Peters busi- ness No. certainly notI If Jimmy Skunk chose to be So foolish as to leave one of Farmer Browns chick ems right out in plain sight on his own doorstep. why should Peter wor- " about it? Peter started on down the Crooked Little Path. Then he stopped again. There was something very queer about that chicken. Very carefully Peter Rabbit approached Jimmy Skunk's doorstep. Perhaps there might be a trap there. Peter walked around and around the chick en until he was sure that there was no trap. Then he went a little near CT. Ha, What was that? Peter stoop- ed over and looked closer. It looked like-yes it surely was the foot print of Reddy Fox! There was no doubt about it.
