1 IAGIC! The oldest art in the
M world. ' - '.''
Reposing in the British mu-
scum is the "Westcar papyrus,
discovered in Egypt, which, when
finally deciphered, proved to be a
written account Of a magical
performance that took place in
the year 3766 B. c.
Tchatcha-emankh was the ma
gician's name and the show was
given before King Khufu. In
describing the exhibition, the pa
pyrus reads: "He knoweth how to
bind on a head which hath been
cut off; he knoweth how to make
a lion follow him as If led by a
rope" etc.
To illustrate how carefully the
secrets of magic have been pre-
served down through the CEN
turies, it is interesting to note
that one of the feature tricks pre-
sented at the 1884 Pacific coast
magical convention was almost
identical in effect with the de.
capitation trick described in this
papyrus written more than 5000
wears ago.

THE pancake is probably the
oldest form of bread. Ancient
ceremonies with it are still prac-
ticed in some places, although
their first significance passed into
oblivion long ago. The most widely
observed is the custom of eating
them on Shrove Tuesday. In
France its observance often de-
velops into a veritable pancake
feast.
English, American and French
pancakes all have distinctive char
acteristics. The old-fashioned Eng
lish type is the highest of all, the
batter being mixed with ale and
allowed to rise. This method also
makes it thicker than the Ameri-
can. 1t is properly served fiat, as
also is the American, piping hot,
busted with powdered sugar, and
sprinkled with lemon juice.
French pancakes contain no
leavening material other than
eggs, which are included in the
best recipes-it is only their thin
ness that prevents them from be-
ing tough.
They are spread with jam or
jelly, rolled up omelet fashion,
covered with sugar, and glazed by
melting the sugar in an oven OF
branding with a red-hot iron.
The American pancake or bat
ter cake" is also usually raised,
but not to the same extent as the
English. Baking powder or yeast
takes the place of the ale.
Tossing the pancake" is a
custom too ancient and too popu-
lar at Westminster School to be
forgotten on Shrove Tuesday, and
the traditions of the institution
were accordingly duly observed.
Shortly after. IL o'clock a small
procession, headed by one of the
Abbey vergers carrying a silver
wand, and in which the cook, ar
rayed in white, holding in his
right hand large frying pan con-
tanning a newly made pancake,
was prominent figure, left the
kitchen, and advanced to the door
of the great school. Knocking
thrice, according to time-honored
custom, the inquiry was made,
Who demands admittance ?"
when the reply was given, THE
cook" The bar which separates
the upper from the lower school
had in the meantime been drawn
out, and all the boys were con-
gregated behind the barrier. On
admission, the cook and his at
tendants advanced midway up the
hall, and the former, whirling the
frying pan three times around his
head, dexterously hurled the pan.

youngsters, who scrambled for its

It's A Fact

L low were sandwiches in

land, the Earl of Sandwich was
such confirmed gambler that he
hated to leave his game even for
meals. He formed the habit of
putting a piece of meat between
two pieces of bread, as he could
eat this without leaving his game.

ONCE long ago during a DAN
~ ish invasion of Scotland, the
Danes were trying to capture a
Scottish fort which was sur
rounded by moat. 1t was night,
and they thought to leap into the
moat and swim across and sur
prise the Scots. Imagine their
surprise when they found the
moat filled with thistles! Their
cries Of pain reused the fort, and
the Scotch came out and defeated
the invaders. Ever since, the
thistle has been the national en-
blem Of Scotland.

I'M VERY proud I'd have you know
To wear my hair like this.
1t is the style that should be worn
By every Hopi Miss.
Such puffs are very hard to make
My sister spent an hour
In making each one look just like
The Squash, or Maiden's Flower.
We Hopis might have picked the rose
To be our flower of Spring;
But we would rather have the Squash
Which will a harvest bring.
For YOU sometime I'd like to smile
know that it's polite,
But I might spoil my pretty hair
Its combed so very tight.
My sister tied down all the ends,
And set each strand in place.
So if I would, could not smile,
For that might hurt my face.
Then sister puts her jewels on me
She says they look quite we'll;
And that my squash bloom hair adorns,
A little Hopi Belle.

ton, rising from the lowly state
of being tossed" for winning tro-
phies to the royal breakfast feast
of young America.
Not only is it the favorite break
fast feast, but is served in various
forms and thicknesses for lunch
cons, teas, hors d'oeuvres, mid
night suppers, and, of course,
never forgotten by campers and
prospectors.
Pancakes in the Manner of
Tournay
First, it behooves you to have
provided yourself with a copper
pan holding quart, whereof the
mouth must be no larger than the
bottom, or very little more, and
let the edge be of the height of
four finger-breadths, or a good
three and a half. ITEM: it be-
hooves you to fill it with salt but
ter and to melt, skim and clean
this and then pour it into another
pan and leave all the salt and
some fresh fat, very clean, in
equal quantities. Then take eggs
and fry them and take the whites
away from half of them and let
the remnant be beaten up, whites
and yolks together, then take the
third OF fourth part of warm
white wine and mix all together.
Then take the fairest wheaton
flour that you can get and beat
them together long enough to
weary one person or two and let
your paste be neither thin nor
thick, but such that it may run
gently through a hole the size of
little finger. Then set your but
ter and fat on the fire together,
as much of one as the other, until
it boils; then take your paste and
fill a bowl or big spoon of
pierced wood and run it slowly
into your grease, first in the mid
die of the pan, then turning it
about until your pan be full; and
then go on beating your paste
without stopping, so as to make
more crisps. And this crisp that
is in the pan must be lifted with
little spit or skewer, and turned
upside down to cook it, then taken
out and put on a dish and the next
crisp must be begun; and all the
time let someone be moving and
beating up the paste increasingly.

dom came.
After the war the M. E. Church
South called in the leadership of
the Negroes who had accepted
Christianity under their tutelage
and said, "Organize a denomination
of your own. Elect your own
bishops and general officers. We
will see you through" After that
the Colored M. E. Church was Or
ganized. At that time the NJ. E.
Church said to the Negroes at
tached to their group, "Stay with
US. We will nuture you until you
are strong"
Now rehearse the story and get
the picture: African M. E.'s, Zion
African M. Els, Colored M. Els,
and the Negro M. Els in the M. E.
Church. Time has gone on.
Schools and colleges have been
built. Leadership has been trained.
Well prepared preachers, presiding
elders, general officers and bishops
have been produced. The Negroes
in the M. E. Church are as fine
proof as exists of Negro ability.
It is a part of interdenomina-
tional thinking that all Methodists
should be in one organization.
First: Get the white group to-
gether in one organization. Next:
All the Negro Methodists in one
group, and finally unite all in one
great Methodist family. 1t is also
a part of the thinking that the
whole task cannot be accomplished
at once.
