LITTLE SKJST. OF MIRACLE
II Story Is True, This Enalishman's
Middle Name Must Surely Be
Good Luck.

Lying on path 10 months leath-
er wallet containing over $14O was
found by the loser after being unnoticed
by hundreds that passed each day,
writes an English correspondent. A
dining-car conductor on the Great
Western railway, who lives at Southall,
left home one morning in June, 1920,
and went to Old Oak Common, near
Acton, where the dining cars are stored.
From Acton station he walked through
a private path used by the railway
staff and leading to Old Oak carriage
sheds. Later he went to Paddington
station and worked the dining-car
tain to Plymouth. When he returned
to London he discovered that he had
lost his wallet. He had not
the faintest idea where or how he
had lost it, and although he made in
Quiries he could find no trace of it.
The other morning he walked up the
same private path on his way to work,
as he has done scores of times since
he lost the wallet, when he stopped
for a moment, and looking on the
bare ground just at the side of the
path he was amazed to see his wallet
lying there. He picked it up, and was
further amazed to find that the con-
tents had not been touched. The wal
let was weather-beaten and the notes
were soiled as though they had been
soaked in rain, but when he found
them they were dry. The path is used
by hundreds of men every day.

lNVAL LIABLE AID IN COOKING
British journal Points Out How tho
Use of Thermometer Will Help
the Housewife.

Every housewife is aware that the
actual cooking Of dish is very I'M
pOrtant factor OF success or failure. A
"hot oven" and moderate oven'' are
often referred to, and testing by hold
ing the hand inside for a few seconds
is method frequently employed.
But there is no real dependency on
such haphazard methods, since one
person can bear much more heat than
another. Therefore, in an efficient
household a kitchen thermometer to
register cooking heats should be con-
sidered as necessary as clinical
thermometer. There are two varieties
Of kitchen thermometers to be had.
The. cheaper kind is of white china,
and can only be used for oven cooking.
A more durable make, Of brass, which
costs little more, can be used for
testing frying fats, ETC., and will not
break so easily. An iron leg supports
the thermometer, so that it stands up
right and can be read at a glance when
in the oven. Every degree Of heat from
low to high temperature is registered,
and at the side the standard tempera-
lures for cooking are printed.-Man-
chester Guardian Weekly.

California ranchers picking gold off

Placer mining played out just about
so years ago and just a little later
than that people began growing gold

Angeles Times. Today the golden ro-
nance Of California has for its back
ground the glorious green foliage Of
her wonderful citrus groves. The in
dustry was founded upon two little
trees which were brought here from
Brazil. Today the orange and lemon
business of this state rolls up $85 600,

In little more than 40 years, from
an experiment with fruit that Brazil
was interested in only from the stand.

Population in A. q. 1000.

According to DR.. Edward A. Ross, by
the year A. D. 1000 the population Of
the United States will number about
223.0OO,OOO. Extremists are painting
vivid pictures Of our country, pointing
out that the condition of China, Japan
and India will be rivaled here They
predict a starving country with too
many inhabitants and too little space
in which to house them. In their minds
are scenes of war, famine and misery
as a result.
On the other hand, John S. Summer,
secretary of the New York Society for
the Suppression of Vice, says: "Over-
population is not menace to the
peace of the world, because there is
no overpopulation. 1t is not the ply
steal fact of population, but the men
tai and spiritual condition of people
which determine the question as q
menace to continued peace"

Little. Known WASHINGTON Portrait.

Discovery of long-lost portrait of
George Washington by the American
artist, Gilbert Stuart, in New York
city, directs attention to the Stuart
portrait of Washington which hangs in
Memorial hall in the State Library
building at Hartford, Conn. 1t was
bought direct from the artist by virtue
Of resolution of the general assembly
in May, 1900. The understanding was
that it had been painted by order of a
committee from South Carolina, and
was then declined on the ground that
it was not portrait of Washington.
A committee from Connecticut con-
ferred with Gilbert as to Washington
portrait, and purchased the one he had
painted for South Carolina.
