Brilliance of Plumage. as Well as In sects’ Luster, Is Due to Light Absorption—Prof. Cutler on Arid Problem. Cblraip).—Peacocks and pigeons, but terflies and beetles— the gayest of the bird and insert tribes- hate yielded the secret of their brilliant atlire to Prof. Albert A. Mi helsou. bead of the department of physics of the T'niver eitjr of Chicago. who has discovered in tils laboratory the real cause of the metallic colors observed In his feath ered and "buggy" specimens Prof. Micbeiscn, who won the No bel prize In 1909 for his achievements la optica, announced his latest tind in a paper read at the annual conference of the Illinoia State Academy of Sci ence. In the botany building of the Uni versity of Chicago. The professor's experiments prove that the colors stud ied are the result of light absorption due to the shape of the surfaces and are not caused by the pigment cells or any means that the amateur naturalist might imagine. The discovery, according to the sci entists at the meeting, furnishes schol ars with a new theory for important color phenomena. It overturns the position held by many distinguished investigators that the trridescent glit ter of beetles and the tints of the humming birds are the result of or dinary “interference" and “diffrac tion." "The total cumber of specimens which cave been examined.*' said the investigator, “is perhaps not so large vs it should be to draw general con ci £icn_s and it is clearly desirable bat it should be extended, but so far as the evidence for surface films as toe efferting source of the metallic col ors L. 1 irds and insects is entirely con clusive." Prof. John M. Coulter, head of the Unlversit*- of Chicago beinny depart ment. sale: "Practical plant breeding is now on a practical basis and botany has at last attacked the fundamental prob letns and may be of some practical service, for it includes plant breed icg." Of the possibilities of converting arid land into wheat and corn lends Prof. Couiter said: “Attempts are being made to secure a combination of hardiness to drought which we desire and quality of grain which we possess. I see no reason why the vision should not be realized, but you need not Invest in arid land for Immediate use as wheat fields. In the case of corn, as of wheat, we are not breeding it for drought resistance aione. and It will take many plant gen erations of the highest type of scien tific plant breeding to determine whether we can combine this drought resistant structure with the high-grade quality and yield we have already ob tained in our cultures." FIGHT WITH BIG COPPERHEAD Pennsylvania Sign Painter Frightened at First. Returns and Dis patches Reptiles. Allentown. Pa.—Eugene Carl, an Al lentown sign painter. Is laid up with twitching nerves as a result of a battle with a monster copperhead. He was walking across the meadow at Dorney park to paint a sign, when he heard a hissing noise and saw the retpile colled to strike He fought the snake ofT as best he could by striking It with bis paint brush and kettle, but the reptile was aa skillful as a boxer, and finally twtched blm; bat. fortunately, its fangs were only Imbedded In bis trous ere and did not strike the skin. Carl's ( | cries brought to his help Calvin Nyce who killed the snake with a stick. II r waa feet long After thinking over the mattei over night Nyce went to the spol again and found the snake's compan loa. a female, with 31 young ones which were dispatched. SAYS ONE CHILD IS ENOUGH So Declare* Olive Schreiner in Her New Book—Hard Work Would Make Women Much Happier. Cambridge, Mass.—"One child Is enough for the Twentieth century fam ily," says Olive Schreiner In her new book, “Woman and Labor." “The woman who doesn’t earn her own living is therefore a parasite, ex j cept for that small portion of her i lime when she Is engaged In propa 1 gating the species, but for that time she should be paid. “Wherever in the history of a na j lion great numbers of Its women have j become parasitic, that nation is on the road to downfall and decay. America j is. therefore, on the road to degenera tion. unless Its women of leisure can be allowed—or induced—to exchange their vanities for hard labor. “The human female parasite,” tbe book states further, "whether In mod em Paris or New York. *or in ancient I Greece. Rome or Assyria, Is the wom an who. relieved of manual labor by the prost>eiity of her class or nation, or by tbe Invention of labor-saving machinery, will trade on her unused potentialities of motherhood for her support. I'nless she can or will en ter the Industrial field or some other i line of productive activity she bas no rlgbt to live on the labors of the male, except In the primitive or decimated nations, where the duties of mother hood extend over a greater period j than the half dozen years now neces i sary out of her three score years and ten. "The woman of leisure today,” she i says, “like the hot-house specimen so notorious before the downfall of . Home, who seekF • madly by pursuit i of pleasure to fill the voil left by the ' lack of honorable activity, would be far happier if she had plenty of hard work to do, and the race would be correspondingly healthier and more ef ficient." FUN BY BARONET AND WIFE Disguise Themselves as "Poor Musi cians" and Go on Tour—Friends Drive Them Away. l.cndon.—An escapade in which fig ure a well-known haronet. his wife, a cavalry officer, the heir of another bar onet and a street organ is reported | from Warwickshire. The Inc (dent, which took place a | lew miles from Nuneaton, has caused 1 much amusement among those con , ueeted with the Atherstone hunt. Having hired a piano-organ from ! some traveling foreigners, the baronet and his wife disguised themselves as Italian musicians. The former wore I a slouch hat and old clothes which had j done duty in amateur theatrical per formances; the latter wore old gar ments and bound her head with a col j ored silk handkerchief. Accompanied by a kinsman of the baronet, they set out to the neighbor ing mansion occupied by the son of a baronet well known in London. No sooner had they begun to reel off popular music hall airs than the gen tleman appeared upon ihe scene and. In a peremptory manner, ordered their instant withdrawal under threat of calling in the police. When, after a time, they made themselves known, he joined them in a peregrination of the village, and eventually the "adventurers” reached the seat of a country magnate, a lead ing justice of the peace. Here the butler was sent to tell them to leave the grounds immediate ly, and It was not until the irate squire himself appeared on the scene that the quartet retired. j The climax was reached when the party arrived at another country resl | dence. The family were away from j home, but the servants in a body de scended uuon the "poor musicians.” But the party reached home with their disguise unpenetrated, and a few days later details of the "joke” leaked out. and were discussed and greatly enjoyed by the field that met the Atherstone hounds near the village where the escapade was planned. CAUSE OF DELUSIONS New Disease Mixes Sounds. Col ors, Odors and Tastes. Physicians Now Recognize Condition Which Probably Accounts for Hal lucinations of Insane—It Is Called Synesthesia. Xew York.—Physicians now recog nize a condition which probably ac counts for the hallucinations and delu sions of the insane. It is called syn esthesia, end those afflicted with it are known as synesthesics. It is that peculiar condition in which sounds cre ate the idea of colors, and vice versa, or in which colors, tastes, sounds and ! odors are confused. “Synesthesia is not a matter of much practical importance,” says American Medicine, “but it is highly interesting to say the least. It is that curious phenomenon of the overflow oi sensations so that air waves, for in stance, give a sensation of color as well as sound. It seems that through some defect of development the corti cal centers (of the brain) are not in sulated from each other completely, so that a stimulus received from the re tina say, is not confined to the visual centers, but affects adjoining ganglia "The commonest form is colored bearing, and most of the cases ol synesthesia investigated up to a few years ago were of this type. No two w'ere alike, that is, the same sound would cause different colors or shad lugs in the different cases; a locomo tive whistle would be yellow to one or white to another, and so on. "Moreover, in some cases only a few sounds are colored, such as the tones of a piano from black in the bass ti white in the upper keys with a spec trum in between. In other cases ever; sound has a light sensation added t< it. Then there are cases in which col ors or odors give sound sensations— I glaring colors being loud, literally a: well as figuratively, an<l, of course, there must be an infinite variety or mixtures of the other sensations. The most distressing cases are those in which there is no actual confusion of sensations, so that odors and tastes and sounds are not differentiated No doubt these abnormalities are at the basis of many delusions and hallucina tions of the insane. "The nervous instability ofsynesthe sics is the practical side of this sub ject. Without an exception, the cases present evidences indicating consider able nervous involvement in the may of abnormal development. Some If not most of them are highly intelli gent. though itlcapable of that hard work necessary for success, and all are very sensitive to irritations which the average man ignores. "Perhaps the condition is far from common than we Imagine, and it would be well to keep it in mind in the treat ment of neurasthenics. We might find that they are great sufferers from jar ring sensations, not in the way usually thought of, but in these overflows to other centers. A normal woman may be made actually ill by garish colors dt coarsely arranged music, and we all know the bad effects of certain tastes and colors; how much more suf fering these must be in synesthesics where the irritant affects more than one center. “Of course the cases are so few in number that the general practitioner rarely if ever sees them, but he is li able to have milder borderland types in which a little attention to aesthetics may make all the difference between success and failure in treatment." Seek to Prevent Insanity. New York.—New York's first free clinic for mental diseases opened the other day at the l.ong Island state i hospital for the insane. The purpose Is to discover cases of incipient insan ity in time to prevent development into incurable mental disease. I SMILES PUT STOP TO A SUIT Poughkeepsie Judge See* Wife and Husband Grin at Each Other and Halts Separation Case. 1 Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—The trial of the separation suit brought by Mrs • | Florence Wbltbeok against Harold C Wfcitbeck. a wealthy bottler of Miller ton. came to an abrupt end in the su , prune court here when Justice Mor sc ha user observed Mrs. Whitbeck and her has bend exchanging smilea The Justice, expressing the hope that the young coup:e would forgive and for get. adjourned the case for three months. Mrs. Whitbeck, who is very pretty, was on the stand under cross-examin ation by George Wood, attorney for Whitbeck, when Justice Morschauser stopped the proceedings. “From what I have ob3en*d in the courtroom you are not very far apart.” said he. to Mr. and Mrs. Whitbeck "Smiles have been passing back and forth between you, and that Indicates to me it wouldn't take much to bring you together." Mrs. Whitbeck asserted she had not given her husband one smile during the afternoon, but the justice said he couldn’t be fooled; that he was not the only one who had noticed It. The Whitbecks. neither of whom. Is more than twenty-live, were married four years ago. Mrs. V^hltbeck charges her husband with cruel and inhuman treatment and with threaten ing to kill her.

It is sur prising how much more can be done from five to six than from ten to elev en. There are no interruptions, as the majority of people prefer to take their "forty morning winks.” Have the work dresses made simply with a square or round neck, without a collar, and the sleeves eibow length. Such n dress is a real comfort if it is short enough. Simplify the house furnishings in the warm weather as we do our food and clothing. Put away the bric-a brac and dust-gasbering things. Hll the house with flowers, cover the cushions with linen, remove heavy rug's and simplify housekeeping in every department. if there is a small porch off from the kitchen big enough for a table and covered with vines, have that for a breakfast room, it Is a splendid way to start the day. Iron only the necessary articles, press out the hems of sheets and buy white crepe cloth for underwear that needs no ironing. Serve fresh fruit oftener for dessert, and do away with the cooking. The result will tell in disposition as well as in digestion. If the house is lighted by lamps or gas, use candles for going to bed. they give sufficient light with much less heat. if one is using gas it is necessary to do as much as possible with the heat because of the expense, as well as the comfort. If water must be heated for any purpose w hile the oven berners are lighted, set the pan in the lower oven under the flame. A small portable oven is a great convenience,' and if a flat iron or two is put on top it is kept steady, which is its greatest disadvantage. For a small family this oven will do about all the baking ex cept the bread, and a single loaf may be nicely baked in one of the small burner ovens. w W W HEX thou dost tell another's 1 W jest, therein Omit the oaths. which true wit cannot Pick out of talcs the mirth, but not the sin. lie pares his apple that will cleanly feed. e Herbert. A FEW SPANISH DISHES. Anything that savors of the Spanish must of necessity be peppery, as their dishes are so frequently seasoned with the piquant pepper. Spanish Rice.—Put two frying pans over the heat, in each put one tea spoonful of bacon fat. Chop very fine one onion and four green peppers; add salt and put into one of the fry ing pans. In the other put a cup of well-washed and well-dried rice, stir until brown, then add the mixture from the other frying pan and u cup of tomato. Add boiling water and ter cock until the rice is dry.

This pleasant acid fruit is most re freshing in hot weather and it dessert of red and white currants in a pretty glass dish Is one that will please the most jaded appetite. Currant jolly holds the highest place among jellies. , the red is usually used he< use of its beautiful color. The black currant is ( greatly prised by many of the older , Siamese Royal Beauties. The Favorite Daughters of the King j j of Siam." Is the picture which few j ! tourists who visit Bangkok fail to i bring away from that city. It has i been burned into porcelain ware, and | j as a whole and in sections has been I used to decorate all sorts of articles, , useful and ornamental. The picture# shows seven girls, each about 14 years j old. all wearing white shirt waists. \ black knickerbockers and white shoes | and stockings, and all with their long \ black hair loose upon their backs. * housekeepers; in fact they were fa mous remedies for colds and sore I threat in our grandmother’s youth. Large black or red cherry currants make a beautiful garnish for a dessert if prepared as follows: Dip nice bunches of the fruit into the well beat en white of egg. then roll in sugar and lay on a paper to dry. Spiced Currants.—Take two pounds of brown sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, a cup of vinegar, a tablespoonful each of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves Cook all together thirty min utes. Keep in a stone jar well covered and sealed. Black Currant and Raspberry Ice Cream.—Rub a pint of black currants through a sieve with a quart of rasp berries, add a pint of sugar and let stand an hour. Add a quart of whipped cream and freeze. Black Currant Jam.—Gather the fruit on a dry day and see that it is perfectly ripe. After stripping the cur rants from their steins put them in a preserving kettle with just water enough to cover. Let them come to a boil and boil five minutes. Warm the sugar in the oven aud allow a pound for every pound of fruit. Stir and cook for forty-five minutes, reckoning I from the time it simmers all over. Try a little on a cold plate, and if it does not set quickly, boil a little longer. Put away in sealed jars. This jam is delicious for steamed puddings and for dumplings. When the currants are fresh the fol lowing pudding Is a good one: Black Currant Pudding.—Line n plain buttered dish with buttered bread and pour over it a pound of black currants and a pound of sugar that have been cooked together. Place more bread on top and put a weight to press out the juice. When cold turn on a deep dish and serve with cream. Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power. SUMMER DRINKS. There is no drink that quite takes the place of lemonade for most pal ates. and with the addition of a sprig of mint and a few bruised leaves a simple julep is made. Crushed currants and mint, with a little lemon juice, makes a delicious drink. Pine Apple Cup.—Put into a bowl the juice of three lemons, two oranges, sliced and the seeds removed, one grated pine apple, and one cup of sugar. Let stand an hour to extract the juice, then strain carefully. Add as much cold water as desired, two slices of shredded pine apple, and fill the glasses half full of cracked ice be fore adding the fruit juice. Iced Tea.—Make tea. using a tea spoonful for each cup of boiling water. I let stand to brew or steep, but not boil, for five minutes. Then pour over cracked ice in a pitcher. Serve with loaf sugar and slices of lemon. Raspberry Cup.—Mash and strain ; two cupfuls of ciirr^its stripped of ; stems. Mash also an equal quantity : of raspberries. Mix the juice, sweet i cn to taste, and serve in glasses half i full of cracked ice and decorate with i a sprig of mint. Mint Sangaree.—Crash two or three sprays of mint with a lump of sugar. Put into a glass half full of cracked ice. Add four tablespoonfuls of grape juice and fill the glass to the brim I with charged water. Shake thorough ! ly and strain into another glass. Raspberry Dash.—Fill a tumbler half full of cracked ice. add a tablespoon ful of sweetened raspberry juice and a ' tablespoonful of sweet cream. Fill the glass with soda water. Carnegie's New Benevolence. Andrew Carnegie is developing a scheme for re-populating Scotland. The plan now under consideration is ambitious. It is proposed to extend assistance to any Scot whose condi tions of employment in England. Wales or Ireland threaten to render him a burden on the ratepayers. If aim an of good character, and anxious to work, he will be provided with a plot of land which will enable him to get a comfortable living. Financial assistance will be given him to allow him time to realize the products of his labor. The idea of the scheme is to place Scotsmen back on the land and to prevent them from being, as at present, exposed to the caprice of shooting landlords. Curious European Legend. A curious legend Is associated with the chain of lakes In the Ilpsert de Carlltte. In the Pyrenees, over which the airman M. Vedrlne. made a suc cessful flight a few days ago. These lakes, according to local tradition, were left at the time of the Flood. When the waters subsided. Noah and his family landed on the Puy de Prigue, one of the highest peaks In the district. Convincing proof of the truth of this tradition Is found in an iron ring, to which, the peasants de clare. the Ark was moored when the ' lauding was effected. They are grouped about an easel In a drawing room furnished In modern Eu ropean style, looking exceedingly con scious of their garments. On the pos tal cards which bear this picture the title Is “Siamese Royal Ueautiea." Toned Down. • Mother, Is Mr. Great wad a fli per son for me to know?" "Oh. yes.

"Will you allow me to ask yau a a qeustion?” interrupted a man In the audience. “Certainly, sir,” eaid the lecturer. "You have given us a lot of figures about immigration, increase of wealth, the growth of trusts and all that,” said the man. “Let’s see what, you know about figures yourself. How do you find the greatest common di visor?” Slowly and deliberately the orator took a glass of water. Theu he pointed his finger straight at the questioner. Lightning flashed from his eyes, and he replied, iu a voice that made the gas jets quiver: “Advertise for it, you ignoramus!” The audience cheered and yelled and stamped, and the wretched man who had asked the question crawled out of the hall a total wreck. DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS “Some time ago I was taken with eczema from the top of my head to my waist. It began with scales on my body. I suffered untold itching and burning, and could not sleep. 1 was greatly disfigured with scales ana crusts. My ears looked as if they had been most cut off with a razor, and my neck was perfectly raw. r suffered untold agony and pain. I tried two doctors who said I had eczema in its fullest stage, and that it could not be cured. I then tried other rem edies to no avail. At last, I tried a se ct the genuine Cuticura Remedies, which cured me of eczema when all else had failed, therefore 1 cannot praise them too highly. “I suffered with eczema about ten months, but am now entirely cured, and I believe Cuticura Remedies are the best skin cure there is.” l Signed i Miss Mattie J. Shaffer. R. F. D. 1, Box 8, Dancy. Miss.. Oct. 27. 1910. “I had fuffered from eczema about four years when boils began to break out on different parts of my body, it started with a fine red rash. My back was affected first, when it also spread over my face. The itching was almost unbearable at times. I tried different soaps and salves, but nothing seemed to help me until I began use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment One box of them cured me entirely. 1 recommended them to my sister for her baby who was troubled with tooth eczema, and they completely cured he r baby.” (Signed) Mrs. F.
