SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTISM Many May Be Known to the Reade, Vhile Others Have a Flavor That Is New. Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known to most country boys. It Is an old experiment, first described by the Jes uit Father Athanaslus KIrcher, who laid a hen on the table, held It firmly for a little while, and drew a chalk line tn front of its eyes, with the re sult that It remained as If In catalepsy. In India It Is known that a cobra caught by the neck and gently pressed will soon become stiff and remain so for a considerable time, either coiled up or out straight. A frog fastened to a board and turned suddenly upside down goes Into a trance. Other animals are suscep tible to this treatment, some more quickly than others. If you pick up a crab and wave It in the air It becomes immobile, a fe male bending her legs over her abdo men, a male sticking them out almost straight. The same is true of the fresh-water crayfish, only this resists for a much longer time than the crab. Among the Insects catalepsy com monly known as "death feigning" Is common, and, according to Prof. Er nest Mangold, the learned naturalist, Is often a means of saving the life of the Insect. Fellow Feeling. Mr. Landry, a wealthy though miser ly . man. was one day relating to a Quake.r a tale of deep distress and concluded by saying: "I could not but feel for him." "Verily, friend," replied the Quaker, "thou didst right In that thou didst feel for thy neighbor, but didst thou feel In the right place? Didst thou feel In thy pocket?" His Only Fear. Damocles saw the sword suspended by a hair. "Quite safe," he declared, "now show me a sword suspended by baldness." DELICIOUS!

They're distinguished by the tiny bubbles found, on each flake and they carry the full, rich flavour of choice, white Indian corn not found in corn flakes of the past r' And unlike common corn flakes, they are not "chaffy" in the package and dcn't grow mushy in milk or cream.

So far as proposals of marriage are concerned. In Notv Guinea It is always leap yearr for In that island the men consider it beneath their dignity to no tice women, much less to make over tures of marriage. Consequently, the proposing Is left to the women to do. When the ebony belle falls In love with a man she sends a piece of string to his sister, or, if he has no sister, to his mother, or another of his lady relatives. Then the lady who receives the string tells the dusky brave that the particular damsel is In love with him. No courting follows, however, for it is considered beneath a New Guinea gen tleman's dignity to waste time In such a pursuit. If the man thinks he would like to wed the lady, he meets her alone, and they decide straight away whether to marry or drop the Idea. In the former case the betrothal Is announced. The man is then branded on the back with charcoal, while a mark Is cut into the woman's skin. No breach-of -promise actions arc possible In New Guinea, though If the lady Is jilted her friends may hunt her lover up and "go" for him. On the other hand, If the dark damsel proves faithless, she Is liable to be eaten by her betrothed If he catches her. Immediate Problem. "Where are the snows of yester day?" Inqclred the man who quotes poetry. "Never mind about that," rejoined his wife. "The Important question Is, "Where is the Ice that was due to ar rive this morning?" It Is No Worry. "Why the cogitation?" "I wish I could find some good sub stitute for gasoline." "I find walking works very well." Pittsburgh Post.

Cut the tough end from the steak and chop rather coarse ly; cook it in a little butter with a little pep per and salt until it is well heated ; add two ta blespoonfuls of milk, dredge with browned flour, toss it well in one fourth of a cupful of cream and serve with baked potatoes. Queen Pudding. Take three eggs, three-quarters of a cupful of milk, one half cupful of hot water, three table spoonfuls of sugar, two of gelatin and two of chopped raisin, with vanilla to flavor. Heat the milk to the boiling point ; add the beaten yolks of the eggs with the sugar dissolved In warm wa ter. While still warm add the whites thoroughly beaten and flavor with va nilla. Put into a mold and add the raisins chopped. Mashed Carrots. Scrape the car rots and let them stand In cold wa ter for half an hour. Cook until ten der In boiling salted water, then drain and wash, season well with butter and a dash of lemon juice; garnish the dish with parsley and serve very hot. Orange Preserves. Wash oranges and slice them In quarter-Inch slices; cover with cold water and let them stand 24 hours. Cook them in the water until they are tender, but not soft; add a pound cf sugar and the juice of one lemon for each orange and cook them until the fruit Is trans parent. Put the fcllces In cans in lay ers, pour over the sirup and when cold cover with paraffin. Serve with Ice cream or as a garnish for various desserts. Marshmallow Parfait. Make a sirup by boiling together two cupfuls of sugar and a cupful of water until it spins a thread. Then pour boiling hot on the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs: beat until thick and creamy, gradually beating In a pint of whipped cream ; flavor with rose extract and put into the freezer; after five min utes when it is frozen to a mush add a cupful of nutmeats, chopped, and marshniallows cut up. Freeze until firm and let stand for two hours to ripen. Spanish Cream. Take a cupful of milk, a half teaspoonful of gelatin, a fourth of a cupful of sugar, one egg yolk and 15 drops of vanilla. Soak the gelatin in the milk ten minutes; add all the other ingredients except the vanilla; cook until the egg is thick, stirring constantly, add the fla voring and strain into a mold. After you've been two weeks in the house with one o' these terrible handy men that ask their wives to be sure to wipe between the tines of the forks, and that know just how much raisins bread ought to have, and how to hang out a wash so each piece will get the best sun, it's a real Joy to get back to the ordinary kind of man. Yes. 'tis so! I think a man should have sense about the things he's meant to have sense about, but when it comes to keeping house, I like him real help less, the way the Lord planned to have him. Youth's Companion. LEFT-OVER DESSERTS. It is far easier to prepare m:ule dishes for entrees, salads,' or even main dishes, but the in genuity of the cook is taxed to use bits of left over desserts in attrac tive ways. If one lias served a plain rice pudding one day the rice may be com bined with a custard for a dessert the second, not the following day. Another attractive rice pudding may be prepared by packing the rem nants Into a moid and when time to serve, turn out and cover the mold with sweetened whipped cream and surround with any fresh, well-sugared berries in their season, or muskmelon. cut In dice, sprinkled with sugar, salt and a bit of nutmeg makes a most at tractive and appetizing combination. If cottage pudding is served, bake a layer or two in a jelly cake tin and have it with a rich filling for a cake to serve with a little dish of fruit for dessert the following day. Or if the pudding Itself Is left, drop the pieces in a paper and reheat or steam in a steamer and serve with a custard sauce. Left-over baked custards may be carefully dipped into sherbet cups, a layer of nuts or fruit between, and garnish with cooked egg, white or whipped cream. Cornstarch pudding or rice may be served In the same way. Pieces of pie may be each covered with a meringue and browned, making a very pretty dessert. Apple sauce may be placed in rame kins, cover with a rich pastry and bake; serve hot or cold. Blanc-mange when made molded in individual molds, If any is left over, may be cut in two and served with n different sauce, adding variety with out waste. Steamed chocolate pudding, cut in Hces and put together with an orange rilling, may be served In small cake with a cup of tea for luncheon. IMlTMTIONAL llfMSOIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director oi the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) SsFoirFORlLle PAUL AT ATHENS. LESSON TEXT Acts 17:16-34. GOLDEN TEXT In him we live, and move and have our being. -Acts 17:2S. Athens! What a name to conjure with. Athens has always epitomized the acme of intellectualism, culture, art, and esthetic accomplishment. Driven from Berea and alone, Pan! fled to the coast and taking ship crossed Jver to the Thessalonian peninsula. Entering the city he beholds its stat uary, meets its philosophers and views ' Its moral degradation and its myriad manifestations of heathenism. Out wardly cultured, melding the thought of the world, yet it passed from its pinnacle of power because it knew not God. Paul saw the pantheism ot the cultured Stoics and the Epicureans, who because of their distant and but little concerned gods, enjoyed the pleasure of wealth and easo. I. Paul Brought to Trial (vv. 16-21). Such sights stirred the spirit of Paul. The marvel is how Indifferent we nay become in the presence ot the great spiritual poverty of our time. Hla spirit stirred within, him, when he saw the city crowded with idols. As Paul followed his custom and began his preaching in the synagogue he also took advantage of the opportunity to do open-air work in the market place. Here a small group and there another. This he did daily until the teachers (v. 18) began to take knowledge of his presence in their city. Some in contempt called him a "babbler," while others concluded that he represented some new religion, though he set be fore them the same message of salva tion in Jesus Christ which had caused such remarkable results elsewhere. That they might hear him more fully and without the interruption of the mart of trade, Paul is taken to the Areopagus, cr Mars Hill, where from time immemorial the greatest crim inals had been sentenced and the most solemn questions of religion set tled. II. The Unknown Made Known, vy. 22-29). Such idle speculation (v. 21) was of no value to the Athenians. This Paul knew, yet he began his address in a most conciliatory manner (v. 22 R. V.). He would win their favorable attention before he called them to re pentance. Keenly observant, Paul had seen among the many inscriptions one "to the unknown God," and this one whom in ignorance they worshiped, he would set forth. Many today are in blindness, seeking to knew Goi when he has already been made manifest (to be seen). (John 1:18; John 5:20; John 14:9; II Cor. 4:6.) It is man's own fault if he does not know God (Rom. 1:20-22, 28; II Cor. 4:4), and no knowl edge la more important (John 17:3), Paul's opening words in verse 24 were but to seize a well-known object of their street decoration and discussions and with it to lead on to the .great truth ho yearned to have them compre hend. This caught the philosophers as well as the idle curious. God is net a philosophic conception of the mind. He cannct be confined to temples made with hands nor does he need the services of our hands, seeing he cre ated all things and giveth to all things life. Paul's next point was that "He bath made of one every nation of men." As yet now little men reany believe that truth witness the Euro pean conflict and the economic, racial and social differences of this land. Negro segregation and Asiatic exclu sion are but illustrations of our sepa ration from the teaching of the broth erhood of man. But this brotherhood is not alone for altruistic service but "that they should seek Gcd." This was his great and glorious purpose in creating the nations of the earth, In setting the seasons in motion,' to min ister to their needs, and in appointing the bounds of their habitations; yet hew far man has departed from that ideal (Rom. 1:23). It is of the high est importanco that men should seek God and he is not difficult to find for those who seek hla (Jer. 29:13). III. What the Athenians Lacked (vv. 30-34). Thus fax Paul's auditors must have followed bin keenly, and it was the gcal toward which he had been driving so relentlessly. Such sublime conceptions, keen logic and quotations from their writers wen their attention. He then delivered a keen thrust at this, the "psychological moment," ty calling upon them to "re pent." The Athenians lacked a realiz ing ser.se of the personality cf Gcd that man could have personal and in timate relations with. God or that a man could or had risen frcra tne dead. Subway Development. The first "subways" were cuts f or pipes and wires, large enough for a man to walk in, and supplied with in spection openings. These were in stalled in Paris by Napoleon III. The Chicago street traffic subways were first built in IS 66-71. But in our gen eral modern acceptance of the word the first "'subways" were those of the deep underground steam railway o! London, built in 1SS6. The first 'rea subway" in the United States was th.n ia Uusion, 1S&7. CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!

You have no doubt all heard of the "left-hand monkey wrench" which ev ery new apprentice in a wagon works is sent after, and of the "italic thin space" which the printer's devil usual ly is sent to get, but William S. Coy, county superintendent of schools, bit hard on one not quite so well known when he assumed his duties as a book keeper in a plumbing shop during one of the vacations of his high school days. There was grumbling among the hands because of something that a neighboring plumber had borrowed and which he had failed to return. The bookkeeper finally decided tp help out and offered to go to the borrower and secure the needed article. His offer was quickly accepted. "What Is it?" he inquired. "We want our pipe stretcher," an swered one of the hands. The bookkeeper went to the other shop and to several others looking for this particular article before It oc curred to him that it would be a pe culiar kind of a tool, indeed, that could stretch an iron pipe.
