Yes or No?

Is it known where Alsike clover
was first cultivated?
.. Do horses crop the grass in a
pasture as short as cows or sheep do?
3. Would it be dangerous to get
poisonous mushroom in the basket
with edible ones if the error is dis
covered before the food is cooked?
4. Is it known what color the pre-
historic horse was?
3. In Queen Elizabeth's time,
heavy draft horses were valued more
highly than the lighter type. Was
there any reason for the sudden
change during James time?
Answers TO these questions may be
found
/. Yes. Alsike clover is thought
to have been n cross between red
clover and white. 1t was first cul
tivated near the village of Sykie OF
Alsike, in Sweden. 1t was introduced
into France about 1900.
2. No. Horses cannot bite grass
as short as cows or sheep do.
3. Yes. Spores from the ANA
nita scattered over other mushrooms
have been known to cause severe i'll
ness.
4. No. The color of the prehis-
toric horse is not known, but it is
thought that it was more or less
striped. somewhat like the zebra.
3. Yes. The use of heavy armor
grew unpopular late in Elizabeth's
reign and passed away. Soon after
ward. when speed became more i'm
portant in a horse than the ability to
carry heavy weight, James l start,
ed the race course and gave attention
to the breeding of fast horses.

asked Bobby, swallowing large
sample of the great explorers second
discovery.
"When Columbus landed on this
great continent he saw a wonderful
tree. 1t grew buds and flowers and
fruit all at the same time and what's
more all the year round.
Columbus thought this most ex-
traordinary and asked the natives the
name of this peculiar tree. He was
told that it was called the cacao-tree.
"Then he found out something
else"
/ paused for breath. but Bobby was
impatient to find out just what else
he discovered, so very politely he
asked:
what was that. Foxy Grandpa?"
columbus watched the natives. One
day he saw them breaking off the pod
from the tree. Then he saw that they
split them open, took out the beans
and put them in the sun to dry.
"Hc thought this was strange, so
he continued To watch to see what
they did with these beans. He soon
found out that when they were dried
they nibbled them"
Just think of candy growing on

late candy. too, because Bobby is very
fonf of chocolate. But ] suppose he
is not different from all boys and
girls in that taste, is he?"

tasted one Of these beans which he
saw the natives nibbling. He, too,
thought it was very good. So he put
some Of the beans in his pocket and
took them back to Spain"
II should think he would have
loaded his ship with them" said Bob
by. selecting another chocolate bon
bon.
IL suppose he wasn't sure what the
people in Europe would think Of this
new bean," I laughed. But they
liked them and within 200 years choco-
late was the fashionable drink in
England and Spain and in most of
the countries of Europe"
Il wonder who thought of making
it into candy" unused Bobby.

POINTERS ON ETIQUETTE
Should Young Man Write?
EAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Recently an elderly friend of mine
met young lady whom he knows
quite well, from out Of town. In their
conversation he learned that she is
still unmarried. He spoke very highly
Df young man that he said he would
like to have her meet. She, in turn,
left her card and said the young man
might write to her.
DO you think it proper for the young
man to write?
L. II. S.
No, this would be an unconventional
and far-fetched thing to do. | think
chat the young man had better wait
dntil he is presented to the lady. If
the young man is going TO the city
where the lady lives the mutual friend
could give him letter of introduction
to the lady, and-fate will do the rest.
