the onions and cloves.

the number you called for, as the
soup may be kept in a cool place
and reheated the next day.
Since you have plenty of milk,
the leftover soup may be strained,

ERHAPS in a sense the most
- mysterious of all jewels is
the celebrated Braganza dia-
mond. found in Brazil in 174l.
The Emperor of Brazil sent it to
Lisbon, where it was placed in the
royal treasury among the crown
Jewels of Portugal.
AS a matter Of history, Bra
ganza. a city of Portugal. gave its
name to the family of Braganza,
members of which were rulers OF
Portugal from 1910 to 1853 and en-
nerors of Brazil, South America,
from 1922 to 1889. The great dia-
mond was named in honor OF the
reigning family.
For something like century
and a half it enjoyed a reputation
as the most superb diamond in the
world. and at one time was valued
at three hundred millions sterling!
Still in it's rough and uncut
state, it is about the size of hens
egg and weighs 1850 carats. No
one has ever been permitted to
handle it, and few have ever even
seen it, as it is guarded jealously
in the Portuguese treasury.
A decade ago a rumor gained
considerable credence in the
great diamond marts Of the world
which somewhat dimmed the glory
of the BraganZa.
It was declared that the stone
had at last been cut and discov-
cred to be humble white topaz.
Though strenuously denied by its
owners, the world will probably
never know the actual truth, for
the Braganza family declines to
crafty public curiosity.

in A TRANCE

An extraordinary case comes over the telegraph wire
from Phoenix, Ariz. Two doctors and 9 coroner proneunes
friends refuse to permit burial. They believe he is alive
in the peculiar state of suspended animation known as cata-
lepsy. g.
So rests the Stevenson case, as this is written.
Remarkable case, you comment? Yet Hudson, celebrated
psychic investigator, learned that there is at least one such
case Of suspended animation each week in the United States.
Washington Irving Bishop, famous mind-reader on sew
eral occasions went into a cataleptc state and dumfounded
physicians by coming cut Of his trance after they had pro
nouneed him dead. There is reason to believe that an autopsy
finally was performed on him during one OF ms frances.
Hudson, writing 81 years ago, recorded this case:
ga lady now at the head of one Of the largest orphan asy
lums in a western city has been twice pronounced dead by at
tending physicians, twice prepared for the grave, and twice
resuseitated by her friends. On the last occasion, extraordt
nary precautions were taken, in view of her former experience
Vigorous treatment restored her to consciousness.
FsUpon being restored, the lady declared that she na
never for a moment lost consciousness, that she knew all tnaa

According to this, death may not be ~ unpleasant "a -

catalepsy has always been the greatest Of msdieA
mysteries. In the old days, many cataleptics we're
probably buried alive. That fate is an extremely remote posz
sibility now, for science has made great strides In death tese.

even the heart apparently ceases to Junction ~ sxsremeB
rare. 1t may follow a long period Of illness OF nervous e.
haustion, as q complete rest and recuperation for the eH-
hausted body.
Again, eatalepsy is a hypnotic phenomenon, and it may b
brought about by hypnotism. 1t is a weird subject, ana eur
purpose in discussing it IS to emphasize the dangers snas may
oyertake amateur dabblers in hypnotsm. The warning il

ton issue. His advocates say that
he is not so much of a wet as he LIS
many other things-notably a go
getter when it comes to corrallins
votes in an election-but it is dis
tinctly a question whether the Demo-
cratic party is ready to name a man
for president who is not for the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead act just as they stand. The re-
suits of the elections last November
may be interpreted as a setback for
the dry forces, and it must be adj
mitted that there are some spots in
the country that are anything but
bone dry. However, the leaders of
any party will probably think long
and hard before they decide upon a
course that might array all the
forces Of prohibition against them.
There is also the possibility that
the candidacy Of Governor Smith
might stir up a religious issue that
Is not lightly to be regarded. The
presidential campaign is generally
deprecated, but whenever the candf-
dates are brought out for the quad
rennial race invariably there are nu-
merous and insistent inquiries as to
the church affiliations of each and
every one of them. That this should
not be SO in a country such as this
is beside the question. 1t remains q
stubborn fact that it is so.
This issue cut a big figure in sew
ara states in the last campaign, not
ably in Oregon, where an especially
bitter fight centered around 1t. Those
whose memories run back to the
CIeveland-Blaine contest of forty
years ago will recall what a furore
it occasioned when 1t was injected
into that campaign at the last hour.
Indeed, wise party men of all poll
teal faiths know that the question
of religion is alw; VS. a live one, with
all the explosive possibilities of INT.
