medium-rare beefsteak had been set

covetous glances at every youth with

Priceless Relics in
Old Turkish Capital

Not the least remarkable of the
treasures shown in the old Sultan
palace in COnstantinOple is a jeweled
reliquary containing reputed por.
ton of the skull of st. John Baptist,
gold reliquary in the form of fore
arm and hand, containing his reputed
hand, and three swords with inscrip.
lions on their blades, which make 1t
probable that they belonged to the
last Emperor Constantine, who fell at
the capture of the city in 1853.
Artistically, the supreme treasures
are the sword of Suleiman the Great
and the Sixteenth century case for the
mantle of the prophet The former
object has hilt of ivory overlaid with
a delicate gold tiligree. and the blade
is inlaid with an Inscription and an
exquisite flower pattern in gold, while
on the haft, just below the hilt, are
two curious figures in relief, IA dragon
facing NEUROLOGICAL bird. The
golden case for the prophets mantle is
an unexcelled example of gOldsmith's
work, with its incised design and sober
decoration of rubies and emeralds.
There are jeweled swords, whisks,
girdles, pipeStems, inkStandS and yes.

whose sumptu0usnesS is staggering;
there are things also whose rare

Desert Animals That
Scorpions Can't Harm

One of the most fascinating chap
tiers in animal poisons is the subject
of natural immunity, the fact that
some animals are immune to the poi
sons of others and remain unhurt If
stung or bitten by the poisonous ami
NAL, whereas all other sorts of beasts
succumb.
A case in point Is that of desert
animals which are unframed by a
scorpions sting. The desert fox, the
kangaroo rat and other inhabitants Of
deserts where scorpions abound are in
this happy position. Their cousins,
living far away from the desert, would
at once be seriously injured by a
scorpions sting, whereas the desert
breeds remain unhurt. 1t is to be sup
posed that in the far distant past,
before the desert animals had this
complete immunity to scorpion venom,
those which were stung and could not
resist died, leaving no offspring. Their
luckier brothers, who happened to
have harder constitution, survived
and left behind them a resistant race
of descendants.-Prof. II. Munro Fox

weak that the bird can scarcely wad-

With such equipment, the bird Is an

MARYLAND SEED CORN TO BE
DISPLAYED

Maryland grown seed corn will
again be exhibited at the Internal
tional Grain and Hay Show to be
held at Chicago the last week in
November, it is announced by F. w.
Oldenburg, specialist in agronomy
for the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service.
While the growing season has not
been particularly favorable for the
production of the best quality corn,
recent dry weather and the absence
thus far of freezing temperature
have been of material benefit to
growers in properly curing the crop.
Growers Of seed corn, from whom
exhibits are obtained, usually take
necessary precautions against injury
to the grain and it is probable that
exhibits will be found to measure up
to the average, it is said.
Freezes and molds are the chief
obstacles to be overcome in the cur
ing of the corn crop, says Mr.. Olden-
burg. Corn with a high percentage
of moisture is easily damaged by
freezing weather, the germ either be-
ing injured or entirely killed. For
this reason, growers who desire to
have good seed for the following
spring, usually take the precaution
to dry their corn quickly in a place
where the germ will not be damaged
by freezing weather.
Moisture likewise promotes the
growth and development of molds
which are also injurious. Once the
corn becomes thoroughly dry there
is little likelihood that the germ will
be injured even by severe cold
weather or that molds will prove
troublesome.
The Maryland corn exhibits at the
International Grain and Hay Show
will be in charge of Mr.. Oldenburg
while J. E. Metzger, head of the de-
partment of agronomy and soil at
the University of Maryland, will
serve as one of the judges of the
corn show.

Eskin,os Eaue to Marry

Whenever there has been talk of a
tax Oh bachelors in England, there
has been chorus of protest. Yet
their bachelors may consider them
selves lucky. for amongst the EskimOs
of northern Canada marriage is CON-
puls0ry.
Christian Leden, the Norwegian eX-
plorer, who recently returned from a
three years stay among them, says
that no people live a cleaner family
life than the Eskimos. Each man has
as many wives as he can support, and
all are remarkably good natured. Bad
temper is considered sign of being
possessed by devil, and lying is a
crime punished by death.
Leden came across only one woman
who was not married, and that was
due to the fact that her hair was too
short.-London Tit-BitS.

Children's Cay

II Is not possible to determine when
Children's day originated. From early
times many pastors devoted a certain
Sabbath for special services for chill
dren. In 1856, Rev. Charles II. Leon

church of Chelsea, Mass, set apart q
Sunday for the dedication of children
to the Christian life, This was the
second Sunday in June. In 1868 the
Methodist convention recommended
The second Sunday in June to be an
nually observed as Children's day. In
1881 the Ecumenical Methodist council
of London recommended the same day
and similar action was taken In 1883
by the Presbyterian General as

and some other salads.
In choosing curtains for the living
room, select a fabric that will stand

should tone in with the other furn.
ishings in the room without making
the windows too conspicuous.
Use the juices from canned vege-
tables. II the food is good, so is the
juice, and it contains valuable min
erals which the body needs. Serve
the juice with the canned vegetables
or use it in soups, stews, or sauces

Tuesday is better than Monday for
wash day. A day is needed in most
homes to straighten up the house
after Sundays relaxation, to look
over the clothes. mend them when
necessary to prevent larger tears, re-
move unusual stains, and put the
white clothes to soak. Then an ear
ly start can be made on the work on
Tuesday.
Pear salad is unusually good.
Either fresh or canned pears may be
used. If using canned pears, drain
the fruit, but save the pear juice for
a fruit punch, with lemon or orange
juice added. Wash and chill the
lettuce so that it will be crisp. Ar
range the pears on the lettuce,
sprinkle with grated cheese and
garnish with salad dressing. Fresh
pears must be pared and cored just
before serving or they will discolor
Cottage cheese is delicious in sal
ads. Pile it lightly on lettuce leaves
or shredded cabbage. Add color
full garnish such as diced picked
beet. strips of pimiento, chopped
green pepper, or sliced raw tomato,
and French, mayonnaise, or boiled
dressing. Or for more elaborate
salad, mix the cheese with chopped
nuts or olives and form into balls or
mold in cups. Cottage cheese also
combines well with fruits, fresh
stewed, or canned, in salads.
