All went well until my son rambled out Into the kitchen, where he saw Mrs. - Blank taking two cakes out of the oven. She said, "Frank, I'll bet you can't guess what kind of cakes these are." My son replied: "They're angel food cakes, because that's what we came for." ? Chicago Tribune. Teeth a* Well as Flrvger Prints.

In 1802 he returned to Am^rlc4, found himself, to his surprise and disgust, at odds with A^ex-loan respectability, and died in 1800, practically unfriended and forlorn, though by no means for gotten. It was Thomas l'alne who first used the words ttoat~ttow -echo o-rer the whole world, "The United States of America." For he had a wonderful power of building phrases, of shaping swift, sharp sentences that should pierce dull ears and dead hearts and make them throb and thrill and work and live. He began his first Crisis paper, "These are the times that try men's souls," and few wprds have been oftener or more aptly vepeated. He had a surprising, startling vigor of Intense, direct utterance that made the most Inert feel that he must do H(imethtng. And, of course, he some times overshot himself, let the fury of his pen betray him Into violence and Insult, England? He was said to hate Kngland. He did not hate England, but he did hate some English ways of doing things. "It was equally as much from her manners as from' her injustice that she lost t lie colonies," he remarks shrewdly. King fieorge? lie was a "foyot brute," which disposes of him, Tories? "Every Tory Is a coward." ? But, human nature being what It Is, It must he admitted that even these extravagances added to the effect of Pa I ue'ft pamphlets. And the effect was enormous. "Common Sense" was sold hy the hundred thousand. "Every liv ing, man In America in 1776, who could read, read 'Common Sense,' " wrote Theodore Parker. Even the Judicious Trevelyan Is hurried into superlatives on the sub ject : "It would be difficult to name any human composition which has had an effect at once so Instant, so ex tended, and so lasting." Considered Miracle. A Milan widow, seemingly dead, re turned to life momentarily amid the randies and flowers of he" funeral service, which was attended by numer ous friends. She had what the mu nicipal doctor called a fatal attack of heart disease. Her friends arranged for the funeral the following morning, hanking the main room In the house with flowers and placing long candles about the bier. The clergy officiated and the hearse was waiting outside when a friend in giving the woman a parting kiss discovered tl\pt the fb re head was warm and then saw that the arms were flexible and moved. Tha hearse was pressed Into service to bring medical aid, and when the doctor began working over the body warmth and color returned, but his ofTorts were only temporarily successful. The doctors decided that It was a case of retarded cyanosis, but the relatives be lieve It was a miracle. All Ralatlvsa Ar* Nat Pronouns. An English teacher at a technical high school cornea forth with a story of one of her pupils and experiences with the English language. The English class was perplexing It self over relative pronouns. The teacher was endeavoring to extract the secret of the definition of such a pro noun froan rhe young hopefuls and. falllnK In this, asked whether anyone In the class could use such n pronoun In a sentence.

CAN GROW NEW TUSK IN YEAR Discovery la Made That the Walrua May Prolong World's Vanishing Supply of Tvoiyr A remarkable discovery at the seal iviokerles on PrlbRof Islands may pro long the world's vanishing Ivory sup Last summer an obnoxious bull walrus was mauled by government seal keepers, nnd In the fight one of Its long tusks was broken off. This spring the same recalcitrant mammal returned, and to the surprise of both natives and attendants the tusk had grown out five Inches, the end still showing the ragged edge of the break. It Is now believed that an annual crop of Ibis excellent Ivory can be harvested by cutting off one-half of one tusk each year from the bull walrus. The onr left intact Is used by the mammal In digging clams and sea food. In a year the stub would have grown out enough to serve as a pickax, ho tin; other tusk coujd be sacrificed for the fancies of man. Walrus Ivory Is in great demand In China and Japan, where It Is utilized for vmall carvings. Graphite and Siberia. Extensive deposits of graphite exist In northwestern Siberia, on the left bank of the River Kurelka, near the Junction with the River Yenisei, {>0 miles from the mouth <?f the latter river. The graphite area forms a hori zontal plateau, the elevation of which varies from 20 to 5K> feet above the normal leve>! of the River Kurelka. The plateau contains two layers of graph ite, which Is of a solid steel-grtiy color, soft and of an excellent quality for the manufacture of pencils. It Is Re lieved that In the future these graph ites will supply Russian demands and that large quantities will be available for export. The chief sources of graphite have been Ceylon, Bohemia, Germany. Franc* and the United States. The annual world production has been approximately 120,000 short tons. The Modern Girl. If the modern girl Is freer than her predecessor, she Is, like her brother, more self-possessed. Her range of experience and of Information Is wider and her desire to know greater. She has seen more of the world and heard more of It, If not directly, then by the vicarious efforts of scores of agencies. She has no doubt brokvo* through many irrational taboos, but she Is trying hard to replace them with standards more suitable to the complexities of life In this generation. And If It Is flut to a male vote wheth er she Is to return to the dress, man ners, temperament and mental oat look of her eighteenth or even nine teenth century ancestor, there will only be an Insignificant minority to vote against her as she Is. ?

The male ostrich hatches the eggs and looks after thp little ones. The greatest enemy oT the eggs and young of flie stickleback fish is the mother herself. She not only has no nffec tlon for them whatever, but would, eat every t?ne of lhero If she weren't, prevented from doing so by the fa ther. In very fe*v species of fish do live females enre anything for either I the eggs or the yorng.

Announcement that u Berlin Ann of music publisher* Is Hbout to Issue the wore of Wagner's "Llebesverbot" will he hailed with acclaim by upusic lovers throughout the world. "Prohibition of Ix>ve," to translate the title, was written during the youth of the famous composer, and shows more plainly than do his other earlier works the period of transition through which he passed before he matured In to the producer of the compositions which brought him fame and estab lished his particular school of music. It Is bused on "Measure "for Meas ure." It is the only Wagnerian compo sition in which the characters speak some of (he lines. Ninety years ago the composition ? was glVSfi a perform ance In Magdeburg. It proved a dis mal 1'ailUre. It was never -published, and on Christmas, 1800, Wagner him self 'gave the score to I/Wlwdg II of Bavaria. Since then, the manuscript has l>een preserved among the Bava rian crown treasures. Though the text of the opera has been published, only fragments of the music have been available In the past. Preparations are being made through out music centers to give the offering an elaborate revival when It Is Intro duced to the public of today. Revival of the Bicycle. There Is a marked revival of cycling In England, and the cheapest known form of transport, which has never really wmied in popularity. Is finding additional support by reason of recent utterances by famous medicos. These gentlemen declare that the pursuit of cycling Is hpalthier than any other: tha' musrular effort and regular breathing, which are the double-har ness steeds of cycling, are more con ducive to health than the remedial physic of the medical profession. The OLympla show reveals a magnificent range of British pedal cycles.? British Commercial News. Truck That Walks. A German engineer has constructed a motor truck which does not move on wheels, but not unlike the Martians described by H. <fe. Wells in his "War of the Worlds," can stride with the help of "legs" across deserts and swamps, can wade "knee-deep" through rivers, stamp through snowftelds and step across ditches, and fell tree trunks and other obstacles In Its path, says a European dispatch to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. For this purpose It Is furnished with two pairs of skids, one of which alwa>s rests on the ground, while the othe.r Is moving forward with the load. When "walking" normally Its stride measures about four feet In length, but, like a human being, It can regulate It when walking uphill or when stepping across an obstacle In its way. With Its skids, which are ten feet long, It strides along the roads at a pace of six miles per hour, or about twice as fast as an ordinary person can go. It can go backward, turn com pletely around Its axles without mov ing from the spot, and it even walks sideways if required. Legless Radiator Support.
