Learning to Cook

A bride of three months lives in a
fat and has become very friendly with
her neighbors. She strolled into a
company of other women who have
their habitat In the same building, sat
down and said she was tired. OF
course another woman asked what she
had been doing.
"Just prepared dinner for my be-
loved" she said, "and for one who
never cooked before 1t was some task"
"How did the beloved like itf" an
other neighbor asked.
"He was proud of me-" replied the
bride, glowing through her weary
countenance.
Review the menu" came a chorus.
"All right" came back from the
bride: "Sllced tomatoes, boiled eggs,
canned corn, lettuce, chocolate, dried
beef and hot rolls from the bakery.

the action of radium.

DINNER WITH THE
"IRON CHANCELLOR
English Diuine Tells of Re-
past in 1885.

At twelve o'clock we had a large
and long meal, including smoked goose
and other delights. (Friedrlchsruh,
Germany, 1851 My father sat next
to Princess Bismarck, who was very
pleasant and after luncheon, when the
cigars were handed round, he asked
her whether she minded his smoking,
on which Bismarck roared out, why,
she smokes herselfi"
This was in 1885, when 1t was very
unusual for lady, to smoke, so a
vigorous effort was made by his
daughter to induce him to behave
properly; but he took no notice Of her
repeated and reproachful cries OF
"Fatherl she Doesn't Father" and
shouted, "She does, she does. in her
bedroom she does"
1t turned out that the poor lady
suffered from asthma, and smoked
medicated cigarettes to relieve 1t.
you will understand" Bismarck re-
marked, "that in everything but name
am king of Germany, but have not
all the privileges Of king and l can
not simply say l am not disposed to
receive so-and-so." 1t appeared, how
ever, that even the most pressing Wis
itors sometimes failed to get In, for
Bismarck told US the following story:
"a man called and sent in word that
he wanted to see me, and ! said that
he couldn't. He then sent In to say
that he must see me, and I said that
he shouldn't; and he sent In a third
time to say that If he did not see me
he should go and hang himself on one
of the trees, and told the servant to
find a rope and lend 1t to himW
The frankness or apparent frank
ness of his talk was surprising, but
It was a cynical saying of his that 1t
was Just as cheap to tell the truth as
to tell lies, and quite as effective, for
the truth Is never believed In d.
plomacy. Another saying Of his which
impressed me, though do not remem-
Der the context, was "In matters Of ma
tional policy l never put down my
right foot till know where am going
to put my left; that is lesson which
1 learned in my youth in the Pom
eranian marshes"
At dinner we each had, think, sew
en- wine glasses and at least one tum-
bier, and l drank nothing but water !!
My host noticed and deplored this, and
though he courteously tolerated 1t he
could not refrain from a slight out
burst against what he called the tenn
perance craze In England, and against
the fanatical attacks on moderate
drinking
1t Is recorded of him that at one
time he did his moderate drinking in
large glasses Of champagne and pOr-
ter mixed. and that one Moltke gave
him a sort Of punch made Of cham
payne, hot tea and sherry.

Historic Indian Dead

Dick Morgan, an Indian who died
recently, was a historic character Of
Alaska, 1t was recalled by the Rev.
A. p. Kashevarov of Juneau.
Morgan, whom the United States ma
val authorities had employed as
policeman nearly fifty years ago, wR
sent with message from Capt. L. A.
Beerdslee to settle differences that had
arisen between the K0ckwontahn and
GanadI tribes north Of Sitka, says the
Detroit News. Morgan informed the
chiefs of the warning factions that
they were to preserve order and to per-
nit the white man to go through the
Yukon passes. Morgan returned Feb
ruary IL. 1880. with word to Captain
Beerdslee that the Indian factions
would remain peaceful and that the
white men could enter the country
without fear. AS result of this par
ley the Chllkat country was opened
to miners.

Ieuono Feorson,e Beast

A monster iguana has recently been
added to the attractions at the Lon
don (England) geological gardens.
When the weather is warm and fine
this strange beast is allowed out into
the open. With its splny breast,
which turns blue with excitement, the
creature looks so terrifying that spec
tators are not likely to ignore the mo-
tice warning them that 1.-THE animal
is very dangerous. Do not touch"
This is fortunate, for, apart from in
fiicting a severe wound with its claws
or muscular tail, the iguana has such
massive jaws, set with needle-like
teeth, that it could almost bite through
the hand. Wearing a collar, the
iguana is tethered to stake, where
1t can get the sun.
Despite its fresh-air treatment, the
iguana has lost its appetite, so it is
being forclbly fed by the attendants.

Honesty

A man who wanted to know what
the percentage Of crooks is in the
world sent a hundred one-dollar bills
to as many persons, together with a
letter explaining that they had been
overcharged to that extent. Nobody
had been overcharged, Of course, be-
cause there had been no business re-
lationship between the sender of the
letters and their recipients. Sixty
three of the hundred returned the
money-thirty-two women and thirty
one men. OF five letters sent to bar
keepers only one returned the cash.

PanGromd of Events
in Newspaper Pages

Since a professor In one Of the
leading western universities (Wiscon-
SIM has drawn attention to the I'm
portant place occupied by newspapers
as historians Of the times and urges
their study upon the public generally
and upon schools and colleges as text
books of Information Of current
events, 1t may not be immodest slight
ly to emphasize the truth Of the pro-
fessiOnal opinion.
No newspaper man yields his just
pride in the product Of his toll. AS
put into the. hand of the reader, the
newspaper is a daily monument to an
industry, intelligence and organiza-
ton genius which is all but incom-
parable In any other sphere Of human
manufacture. However, let that go.
1t is as the exhibitor Of the vast
panorama Of world events that the
public is concerned with the newspa-
per, says the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin. For an Insignificant sum
and with no effort by himself, the
reader sees pass before him on the
printed page the multifold activities
Of men, great and small, the perform
ances Of nature, benign and malign to
the interest Of human kind. Many
eyed Argus did not see and repeat
a 1.-THE of what the sleepless and all
embracing eye Of the press observes
and instantly reports for the infor-
nation or entertainment Of Its read
ers.
History in the making is there daily
written, and to the man who can re-
late cause and effect, who can fore
cast from a seemingly insignificant
event printed in the columns of his
newspaper a whole chain of conse-
Quences, eliminating in some alter
alton OF affairs that will profoundly
affect the lives Of millions Of people,
the study Of his news sheet is a fas-
clnating pursuit.
The man who really reads a mod
ern newspaper and does not merely
skim through 1t, receives a liberal ed
ucation in the arts and sciences, the
humanities, the psychology Of human
nature and is informed upon a va
rlety Of things which only few years
ago no one man could hope to know.
The university of Wisconsin professor
Is quite right; the newspaper is well
worth study.

No Water, No Electricity

There Is an excellent reason why
electric service companies build their
steam-driven generating stations on the
shore Of a river. lake, bay or harbor.
For every pound of coal burned in the
furnaces of such stations nearly
half a ton OF water is needed to con
dense the steam produced, after 1t has
passed through the turbine which
turns the electric dynamo. At one
such steam-operated electric gener-
ating station in the South all of the
water Of a sizable river is diverted
from the river bed and passes over
the condensing pipes of the plants
