Beginning with a meeting in Carne- gie Hall tonight, presided over by Andrew D. White, former ambassador of the United States to Russia, a ser- ies of great mass meetings are to be held in every large city of the country to protest against the atti- tude of the Russian government on the passport question. Among the prominent men who have given their support to the movement are Andrew Carnegie' Vice-President Sherman, Governor Woodrow Wilson, William R. Hearst, Senator Penrose of Penn- sylvania, Senator O’Gorman of New York, Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst and Bishop David H. Greer. Mark Twain Heeded the Voice. " Mark Twain was quite at his best quet given in his honor some years ago by the members of the Authors’ club. Incidentally he told his amused listeners the story of his first lapse | .!rom the paths of honesty. He was very young at the time, he explained, and the day was an exceedingly bot | once. As he walked down the street of the village in whicn he was living he saw a cart loaded with melons of most attractive appearance. “It is with regret I mention,” Mark Twain went on, with a humorous twinkle in his eyes, “that 1 was tempt- ed and I fell. I grabbed the most like- ly looking melon of the lot and hur- riedly made my way to the back of the woodshed. I gouged a huge slice out of it and bit it. No sooner had I .done so when something within me convinced me that I had done wrong. | A voice seemed to say, ‘Mark, get up ! and take that melon right back to| where you got it from.’ It was about | the greenest melon I had ever tasted. | 1 went back to the cart and carefully | replaced it and—took a ripe one in its place.”—Boston Traveler. A Luscious Morsel. A speaker at a literary dinner in New York said: “He who writes for posterity can only expect the approval of posterity. To his own generation his work will be as unpalatable as German carp— and you know the recipe for cooking German carp? ) “No? Well, then, this is it: “Catch a German carp in a stagnant and muddy stream. Clean it imme- diately and hang it in the sun three days to dry. After it is thoroughly dried nail it to a spruce board and cover it with a paste of salt and mud. Let it stand two days longer. Now bake it forty-eight hours. Remove the nails, scrape off the salt and mud paste carefully and then eat the board— never eat the carp.” Why the Head of a Lion. A custom there is in most parts of Europe to adorn aqueducts, spouts and cisterns with lions’ heads. which. though no illaudable ornament, is of an Egyptian genealogy, who practiced the same under a symbolical illation. For because the sun being in Leo, the flood of Nilus was at the full and water became conveyed into every part, they made the spouts of thelr aqueducts through the head of a loa. —Sir Themas Browne, “Vulgar “Er- rors.” Absolutely Pure Used and praised by the most competent and careful pas- try cooks the world over The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of | girl ran away for help.

Three o’clock was the very earliest the man could get up to the store, so his wife asked him to meet her then. “1 don’t know in what department I shall be at that time,” she said. “but Just before 3 1 will telephone to the clerk at the information bureau near the main entrance, and if you will just step over and ask him he will tell you where I am.” At two minutes past 3 the man pought information as to the where- abouts of his wife. “I have a message,” said the clerk, “from a ‘Woman who said her husband would inquire for her about 3 o’clock.

Of course that might have been your wife”— “Oh, yes.” said the man; “that was her all right.”—New York Sun. Cochineal Insects. Before many years cochineal scarlet will have become a thing of history only, like the Tyrian purple of antiqui- ty. That is the conclusion of M. Leon Diguet, who has been studying the state of the cochineal industry in Mex- ico. The first specimens of cochineal were taken to Europe by the Spanish adventurers in the sixteenth century. The Indians had cultivated the coccus cacti, from which the color is derived in pre-Columbian times, and after the Spanish conquest the industry devel- oped rapidly. The city of Oaxaca was the center of the cochineal country in the days of Humboldt, but only a few plantations of the nopal cactus. on which the insects are fed, now remain. The female insects only are used to form a dye. and they are gathered by brushing the branches of the nopal as soon as they begin to lay their eggs. l!l‘hey are then desiccated in ovens er killed with boiling water. Duel With Horsewhips. A novel but brutal form of duel be- tween two carters took place at Baja. Hungary. Being both in love with the daughter of the farmer who employed them, they decided to fight for her with their heavy horsewhips, the girl agreeing to act as umpire and accept the winner. In order to insure that there should be no running away, they first fastened themselves to two posts in the ground. The girl gave the sig- | nal to begin. and~thg two men, who were stripped to the waist, began to | belabor each other with such fury that long bleeding welts soon cov- ered their faces, arms and bodies. Unable to bear the horrible sight, the When she came back with some of the neigh- bors they found the two men lying on the ground covered with blood and exhausted. The duel was declared a draw. Time to Go. “Pa, is a vessel a boat?" “E—yes—you may call it that.” “Well, what kind of a boat is a blood vessel ?” “It’s a lifeboat. Now run away to bed.”—Boston Transeript. Not Fast. “I understand,” says the father, | “that you have been going with a very fast set.” “Fast nothing!" retorts the son. “Why, not one of them has a four cylinder car!”—Judge.

His Reapportionment- Stand. “You ask me if I would vote for a fair reapportionment bill? you do not know that I drew the Hanson bill. That I was ready and anxious to vote for it at the last ses- sion. Many of the papers in the north have spoken unkindly of the southern members, not intentionally perhaps, nevertheless you have said things that do not look well in print. I have been in the legislature con- tinually since 1903 and every time that a reapportionment bill has come up I have voted for it, except the so- called Congdon bill. I would like to ask now if Northern Minnesota is not thankful that southern members did what they did with that bill? Southern Minnesota never has been and never will be afraid to surren- der power to the North. The inter- est of the North are the interest of the South, but I shall always believe that the interests of the state will be best served by centering as much as possible the power of the state government with the rural districts. This need not be done through a “Seven Senator Bill” but by a prac- tical construction of our own consti- tution. I tried to do this in the Han- son bill. It failed but not on account of the action of Republican members from Southern Minnesota. The rea- son for it failing lies with the North, the details of which can be furnished upon application. If an extra session is called I will vote for a fair reap- portionment bill. “Yours very truly, “A. J. Rockne.” Successful Economy in Baking. Most housewives assume when they buy a big can of baking powder at a low price that they have been econ- omieal. They have to a slight ex- tent—but when they use that cheap “big can” baking powder, and.find it so uneven.in quality, or so unreliable that the baking falls, there isn’t so much economy in it after all, for the wasted materials far outweigh the few cents saved in the price. SUCCESSFUL economy, is in the reach of every woman that desires it. She has only to order Calumet Baking Powder, and use it according to in- structions. Then, she will achieve economy. For not only does Calu- met sell at a reasonable price—25¢ per pound—but it is so carefully made by experienced chemists that failure is impossible. Only the best materials are used and the propor- tions of the ingredients are so exact and so uniform that EVERY baking comes from the oven, light, sweet, and beautifully raised. Calumet guarantees you against failure and that is what constitutes real ecu;mmy in baking. Why not use Calumet, a baking powder that you can always rely up- on? You can get no better at any price, for at the World’s Pure Food Exposition., Calumet received the Highest Award. Curious Old Legend. Here is a curious legend of Cologne. ©Once upon a time there was a burgo- meister of the town whose wife died and was buried. In the evening thieves, seeking to take jewels from the dead, opened the coffin. Now it happened that the woman was not dead, but in a trance, and when the thieves broke into her burial place she awoke and went to her home. There she called a servant, who ran in fear to his master and told him what had happened. The scared burgomeister replied to this, *I would sooner believe that my horses were looking out of the top floor window than believe that such a thing could be.”” Scarcely had the words left his mouth than he heard horses galloping up the stairs. In memory of this and of the return of his wife he had two horses’ heads in stone set in a top floor window of his house, where they remain to this day.
