Gentle Maiden Sees and Enjoys Football Game Oh, that fuilhtfck got his kicked In. Oh, how * woolly pretty! I Just know lie's happy. Now he can lie ■till In the hospital and read and hear the birdies sing and be'glad, oh, so glad. Oh, goody. Those two big Swedes are Jumping up and dovvh on the quarterback. Just like hoys at [day. How glad the Swedes look. And how happy the little quarterback must be that .lie can make them so glad. Oh, football Is so lovely, so bloody lovely, reports Outing Magazine. Oh, Joy! No wonder the birdies sing and the (lowers are gay. They have knocked the center cold. See, his left leg Is broken, quite broken. And oh, rapture! I think his neck is hurt, too. How pleased all the others are. They are singing and Cheering. They’re so happy. / Oh, what a delightful picture! That big blond giant just kicked at the ball and missed it and his great .foot landed in that other player’s stomach, quite lost from sight. The .band plays. No wonder. There! He has got his foot out again. Now they can both be glad. Mikes and Disliked for Various Kinds of Food \ Many races, many foods, mhny fads. The luxury of one people is the bane of another. An attempt is being made to Introduce snails as an article of food In certain London restaurants. The French, of course, regard snails as a delicacy, while Britishers almost shudder at the thought of eating them! Yet English folks eat mussels, whelks and winkles, which in some countries are regarded as being untit for human con■umption. In England the eel is reiiahed by many people, but In Scotland It is detested by nearly everybody. Rabbits are looked upon as vermin in some parts of America nrvl Australia -and are seldom served at table. In Britain rabbit pie is a favorite dish. Swede turnips are often eaten in Scotland and Canada with other vegetables, whereas in some parts of England they are cordially disliked and given only to cattle. Turnip tops in Scotland, again, are not considered worth cooking. But In Covent Garden they sell by the ton. —London Mall.

Growth of Jellyfish The manner in which a Jellyfish produces Its "children” Is really wonderful. In most cases the beginning is an egg. which, lying on the bottom, pw duces a beautiful tree-like growth. The “tree” fastens Itself to the bottom and brings forth buds which, when' ripe, drop off and develop into jellyfish. The Utter, In turn, lay eggs and the process U repeated, as told in London Tit-Bits. Most of the vei-y large species have a different way of_repr6duqing themselves. The egg is set free In the water and develops into a pear-shaped larvae, which for a while swims about rapidly, being provided with hair-like appendages that serve the purpose of ears. Then the larvae settles down, anchors Itself to the bottom, increases In size rapidly and finally splits up into thin, flat discs which swim off and grow up into large Jellyfishes. Horses Repay Kindness It is said the Arabs were Alie first, to appreciate a horse's Intelligence and to treat him accordingly. They kept tho history of their horses written, on tablets of ivory and traced their parentage back to the time of the pharaohs. They,-were extremely thoughtful of the comfort of the horse and it was even said they took better care Os their horses than they did of their families. Constant companionship made the Arabian horse quick to understand the. meaning of words, and kindness made them fearless, brave and obedient. The intelligence of the horse varies just as it does in other Unlmals, or even people, and is developed or retarded ac-i cording to man's treatment of Idm, •ays a bulletin of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. : Almond’s Queer Habits The aknond-tree_ has peculiar whims, tt seems to prefer California as Its habitat, as 98 per cent of the almonds grown In America are produced in that state, and In a rattier restricted territory at that. The bulk of the crop Is grown around Banning, says Mature Magazine. It seems to require the spots where extremes of,cold and heat are present-ln tUclr respective seasons, and photographs'have been taken of an orchard with snow on the ground on the first of Febiittijry, and again with the trees hloom by the 28th of the month. Thfc'Stune variety will not fertilize one another. Growers must, plant alternating rows of hardshells and papershells / in order- to insure a harvest. True Poetry - Tire only true or inspired poetry Is always from within, not frbm without. The experience contained in it has been spiritually transmuted from lead into gold. It is severely logical, the most trivial of Its adornments being subservient to, and suggested by, the dominant idea; any departure from whose dictates would be the •‘‘falsifying of a revelation.” tt Is unadulterated with; worldly wisdom, deference to prevailing opinions, mere talent or cleverness. . . Its music is the -expression of the law of Its growth; so that it could no more be set to a different melody than eould rose-tree be consummated with lilies or violets. •—James Thomson.

Marriages That Led * to Odd Relationship t. Mysterious muddles sometimes aris* out of'secoml* marriages. A Corsican girl married o' than whose first wife was the ’ sister of the girl’s grandmother. . This makes her her own mother’s -grand-aunt and her grand-' mother’s sister-in-law. To her brother and sisters she is greflt-aunt. Finally, she is her own grand-niece. Her husband Is the brother-in-law of his grand nephews and grand-nieces. An elderly American became the grandfather of ills ' six children, and ids first wife’s stepfather. He divorced his wife and married his mother-in-law. The widower who married in succession seven sisters contracted various relationships, says the Montreal Family Herald and Star. This man started by marrying the eldest of the sisters, and subsequently went right down the line, Finally he led the seventh and last sister to the altar. A German village is puzzled over the relationships resulting from the double marriage of a father and a son. The father, a widower, married the village belle. She thus bectfme a stepmother to her husband’s forty-year-old, son. The son, in Ids turn,'met the girl’s mother and married her. Consequently his father Is now ills son-in-law and he himself is his own grandfather. In the meantime, the village belle presented her husband with a baby daughter. Clearly this child 18 sister-in-law to her grandmother I Mrs. D. A. Zartman and daughter. Miss Ethel and son, Ross were guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Snapp in Goshen Christmas.
