EAU MEANING OF "MYSTIC"
Ona of tho Most Frequently Misused

' Explained.
, A Jowolcr in a small bnndlcrnft
tahop hold out a henry Bllvor ring wltli
la quecrly ongrnvod sonl, saying: "I
can't explain tho dovlco to you. It Is
mado for n nqa captnlm Ho's n frlond
of mlno, and tho cmblom is just inys-
rtlo to him." Tho very fact that n
word becomes so wnrpod and common
means, at least, that a great many
foeoplo aro becoming nwnro of a now
matter. Bomothlng has swum Into
their kon, nnd tho word that stands
for tho oxporlonco Is bandied' wildly
labout tho world. When ono pauses to
'reflect upon tho meaning of Uio word
"mystic," It is odd to noto tho baso
uses to which It has como. All tho
imlnor poota wrlto of "mystic gleams"
land "mystic glamours," "mystic
Ishoons" and "mystlo clamors;" Ha
uso In tho sonso of magic Is very
.widespread. But thcro aro also small
Irallroad stations In out-of-tho-waj
lopoto that rojolco In tho now word ns
ia designation. An n matter of historic
Ifact tho noisy, ubiquitous word de
rives from a Greek word which inonni
shut A mystlo was ono who wns bo

ligious doctrines about which ho must

Ituro that Iho word referred rnthor to
tho kcoplng of tho eyes shut to all
luonso Impressions In order that the
spiritual vision might bo soon. Or It
'might havo roforrod to tho fact that
luntll a man was admitted to tho mys-
rles, bis eyes woro shut to spiritual

I The Cocoa Tree.
I The cultivation of cocoa Is at pros

cocoa tree cannot withstand strong
Aunshlno, and tho young plants havo

trees, and lator when thoy attain tholr
growth, by tall trees known ob "lm
portals" or tho "mothor of tho cocoa."
These make a kind of canopy over tho
entire plantation. Tho fruit of tho
cocoa tree is n pod rosombltng a cu
cumber, and growing on tho trunk or
large branches, whoro It looks ns
though It woro artificially attached.
The needs are llko largo, thick lima
beans embedded In pulp. Theso form
the cocoa beans of commerce Tho

quire much attontlon.
The Ink Plant
Ink of everyday llfo may be perhaps
described as of mixed animal, vegetable
and mineral origin. Bomotlmos, how
ever, the Juice ot a plant can bo used
directly for writing. This Is the case
with tho Ink plant, which occurs In
South America and New Zoaland.
The Juice of tho plant is red, but It
becomes rapidly black on oxposuro
by oxidization. It glvos a permanent
ttaln on papor and can bo used as Ink
wtlhout further preparation. All tho
early documents in Spanish America
were written with tho Juice of tho ink

havo it handy when using tho book,
ns it servos two purposes, keeps tho

For a chnngo add n mlncod green

and novor allow tho custard to boll.

Cleaning pots nnd pnns Is tho bug

loft until after tho dishes aro washed

oasy way Is to koop n supply of news
papers In tho kitchen and as coon aa
a greasy dish Ib emptied wlpo It out
with tho papor and wash It as soon as
possible. Tho paper may bo burnod
nnd so tho greaso Is kopt from the

A dish which Is a great favorite

All Sorts of Hints.
A good umbrella with propor care
will last for years. Novor roll up nn
umbrella when wot, an tho dies rot It
and soon It will crack In tho folds.
When a wot umbrella Is loft to drip

nnd it not Boon dried will rot the ollk.
It la strnngely truo that thoBo who

Did you ovor got a llttlo shock on

Whon tho heolB woar out unovonly as

Culinary Suggestions.
Mashed potatoes nro such a common
accompnnlmont for roast poultry or
broiled steak that It seems surprising
thnt so fow cooks servo them properly.
When boiled In rapidly boiling wator
with a tnblespoonful of salt to a quart
of water thoy nhould whon cooked fall
Into a snowy mass nt tho first blow ot
tho masher. After draining them re
move tho cover nnd nhnko over tho
flro to romovo nil moisture, then mash
nntll smooth, adding tho cronm or milk
heated, then tho butler and salt. Pile
tho potatoos Into n hot dish; but do
uot put down, that mnkoB them heavy.
Potatoes mashed nnd served In this
manner nro a strong contrast to tho
ordinary mashed potatoes as served.
Many people llko cooked cucumbers,
for IhoBo a fow suggestions may be
wolcomc. When thoy got n llttlo toe
coarBe of need to servo sliced, pari

Bcrapo out all the seeds and cook them
In slightly snltcd boiling wntcr untlj
thoy nro tender; then drain, buttei
thorn, season with snlt and popper nnd
sorvo on narrow lengths of toast well

Fried cucumbers nro very nppctlzlng
for a' breakfast dish. Propnro thorn as
above except In tho manner of slicing,
loavo them In half-Inch slices. Sprlnklo
