One may be fined for stopping dog
fight or not stopping dog fight. But
the post office can record something
even better, the Manchester Guardian
relates. At a seaside town a man
walked into a post Office followed by
huge dog. A woman was already at
the public counter. and she also had
a dog. The two dogs began to fight.
The man did not attempt to inter-
fere. He appealed to the girl assist
ant, who was on the safe side of the
counter. to come over and part the
combatants. She declined. very nat
urally. Eventually the turmoil ceased.
and then the dog owner lodged COM
plant with the postmaster that his
subordinate had permitted confusion
In the Office and upset the public.

Great Statesman Had
Genius of TnUenfion

Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Dec
iaration Of Independence and third
President of the United States, was of
an inventive turn of mind as well as
being fairly good violinist and some
thing Of scientist, remarks the De
troit News. On one Of his tours of
Europe he was struck by the bad con-
struction Of the plows in use by the
peasants of France.
The moldboard, a device above the
share to turn over the earth, he decid-
ed, required redesigning. He spent
the greater part of his leisure time
for two years evolving a rnoldboard
that would be most effective.
Satisfied. at length. that he had sue
ceeded. Jefferson sent a pillow equipped
with his new device to the Royal Ag-
rtcuiture Society of the Seine A
medal which the society awarded him
for the pillow proved TO be all he
had hoped for-follewed him to New
York, and Is years later. the society
sent him a specially made plow con-
tanning his improvement as a token
OF appreciation for what he had done
for agriculture In France.

Dried Rice Fatal to
One Household Pest

Whence do all the beetles, ants and
flies come that swarm about the house,
and particularly In the kitchen and
iarder? And what is the best way to
get rid of them? These two questions
are always very much in the minds of
householders.
The first Is not easy to answer. The
intrusiveness of beetles and cock
reaches is something uncanny. They
are found down deep mines, and they
appear In new ships the moment steam
Is raised Wherever there Is moist
heat there they come quickly.
The entry of ants Into a house is
often traceable to some opening near
the ground. such as a ventilator.
Moths come In through the open win
dows after the lamps are lighted. Win
dows closed or guarded by mosquito
MEETINGS after lighting up time should
keep them out.
The ant Is, of course. Intelligent.
But ground rice, 1t Is said. finds his
weakness. Sprinkle the rice in his
track. and he will eat of 1t greedlly.
Then 1t sweIls within him and kills
him. But the rice must not be thrown
down on a wet floor or it will swell
before he eats 1t. and he will come to
no harm.

sscate., Word Little Used

The word "cates," meaning dainty
foods, is probably never used except
in poetry, and seldom there, yet we
call the person who caters for our
food caterer. and In that form the
word Is Of everyday occurrence.
It has come into some prominence
lately In connection with the fifth cen
tenary celebrations Of the famous
Dick Wilmington. whose fame rests
more soIidly on his possession of a
cat than upon any municipal honors
which came to him. observes London
Tft-Bits.
There have been all manner Of
learned discussions as TO Whiting
tons cat, one OF which pointed to the
probability that this city merchant
had ship called the Cat. But the
late Professor Rowiey Of Bristol was
perfectly sure that "cat" was an alb
6revition Of this old English word
"cate," meaning provisions, which sur

Cate river at Plymouth.

Jealousy Proved Fatal
TO English Musician

Certainly the most destructive of
human emotions is that Of Jealousy.
With the exception Of love and war
nothing seems to be so provocative to
the green-eyed monster, who seems to
have the faculty Of consuming all
those who admit him to their souls as
music. A list Of the famous musical
Jealousies would be interesting. 1t
would run into the hundreds. Opera
companies are usually nests Of jeaI-
ousy.
Possibly one of the most famous
cases Of musical pealousy Is that of
Henry Cooke. deceased (1672). Cooke
was fighter who gloried in the term
Of captain. he Joined the kings army
and fought bravely, 1t is said, but
when the commonwealth came into
existence he was obliged to make
his living teaching music Eventually
he became gentleman and master Of the
children when the chapel royal was es-
tRblished again in 1890 There he had
as his pupils no less than Purcell,
John Blow and Pelham Humphrey.
Humphrey so closely initiated the
work of his master that after some
time he was able TO supplant him In
his state position Captain Cooke few
into rage Of jealousy, and this con-
tinued until in his death notice there
appeared the significant line, "died of
jealousy"

BRoILING CHICKEN

An easy way to broil a chicken
is as follows: Lay the parts in
a shallow pan, first rubbing each
one inside and out with butter.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper,
pour about a third of a cup of
hot water In the bottom of the
pan, cover and put in the oven.
Let cook slowly for thirty min
utes until tender. Remove the
cover from the pan and brown In
the most convenient manner. If
you have gas put the pan under
the broiler, watching and turn
ing the pieces as they require it.
II coal, lift them to a large
broiler of the toaster variety and
brown delicately over the Goals.
If you have wood add little
more butter to the pan after the
water has evaporated or the
juice been drained off, and fry
slowly until brown. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and turn q
little melted butter and the juice
from the chicken over the meat.
Serve on hot platter. This Is
a better way than to attempt to
broil too rapidly, for then there
are sure to parts of the meat
that are UNDERGONE

Legends Of Gods and
Goddesses in Hawaii

Near the city of Hilo, on the is
hand of Hawaii, are the locally cele-
brated Rainbow falls, around which
many legends center, says the De
troit News. One Is that the goddess
Hina lived underneath the falls In a
cave and that the dragon Kunamoo
tried to down her by throwing up
dam below the falls. She called for
aid to her son Maui, who at the time
was trying to lasso the sun at dis
tant point because of the complaint
by the natives of the shortness of the
summer season. The fable has 1t that
the son In his canoe crossed the ocean
from nearby Island IN two strokes
and chased the dragon to what Is
known as the Boiling Potts." where
he threw red-hot stones into the wa
ter, scalded the monster and finally
killed him.
The Naha stone. one of the histort-
cal relics of the Hawaiian islands, Is
found on the grounds of the Hilo pub
lie library. An old prophecy concern
Ing the Naha stone was that he who
could move 1t would be king of the
island Of Hawaii, but that to him who
could overturn 1t would be given
sovereignty over all the islands In the
group. Kamehameha the Great, who
finally conquered all the other is
lands, visited the island in his youth
to test the efficacy of the prophecy,
and. having succeeded In turning the
stone. was so inspired that he en-
tered upon the career which ended In
the union of all the Hawaiian Islands
under his control. Native Hawaiians
put full faith in the story MS having
been handed down to them from gem
erations to the days Of Kamehameha.
