Bones from which meat has been cut off. whether the meat is cooked or not. and trimmings of the meat, gristle, ete., when not usable for other things should be put into this soup. Seasonings. Celery leaves that are generally dis- carded can be made into delicious sea- soning of this sort. So also can pars- ley and ordinary pepper grass, found in the fields, as well as other pungent edible leaves. Spread the leaves on a paper and put in a dry place until all the moisture has evaporated. Then roll to a fine powder and put each kind away In separate containers with air-tight ‘covers. Old baking powder tins make appropriate containers, as they also come under the classifica- tion of articles to, be discarded. Potato Peel Chips. A delicious dish of potatoes can be made from peels. Scrub the potatoes well before peeling and save the peels Cut them into lengths about two | inches long. though smaller pleces can | be used.

Mrs. Paddy and the two younz Beavers dropped their work and rushed for the water. In they plunged. They didn't stop to_find out what the ger might be. It was enough for them that they had been warned. There would be time enough to find out later what the danger was. -Al- most at once the four brown heads ppeared above the surface of the wa- ter, but each one in a black shado: our pairs of eyes searched the shore. Four pairs of ears listened for telltale sounds. Four noses searched the air for suspicious scent. But_though they looked and listened and smelled they found no trace of an enemy. “It must have been Yowler the Bob Cat or Old Man Coyote,” whis- pered Paddy to Mrs. Paddy. “It couldn’t have been Buster Bear, for he would have shown himself Ly this time. It wasn't one of those two- legged creatures, because they never come here by night. We'll have to wait until Peter gives the signal that the way is clear and safe.

Just when vou think that all the green things have vanished from the earth and Winter has the world in its barren grasp, you discover in the woods how many little plants become conspicuous for the first time. Brave- Iy verdant, they shine at you from forest floor and bog and cold. dry rock—the lichens. the mosses and th ferns. And in this season of the vear the country boys and girls go up in 00ds to find the club moss. quaint evergreen, as “wick” as though Spring were tiptoeing up the land. Yet I am always sorry to see the club moss for sale in the Center Mar- et, woven into wreaths. For as the ities grow they make more and more dangerous Yuletide demands upon the helpless and beAutiful things of our The club moss, or, as it is alled, the “ground pine.” is in danger of ‘its very life. No wonder that we love it, for it has a spirit of Christ- mas cheer about it. And yet there is something softer and more woodsy about it than we meet in the hard, bright, spiny holly leaves: it invites the loving touch of the hand, it is to holly as the doe to the horned buck. I have to keep reminding myself that the club moss or ground pine is really a fern, or a relative of a fern. For it looks, indeed, like a soft moss, except for its tiny cone that has given it the name of “pine.” At this time of year one may shake out the golden spores, like pollen, from the cone— those spores that are the forbears of seeds, evolved upon the earth when the tiny club mosses of today were mighty trees and the spores perhaps were of corresponding size. Many scientists believe that coal is largely made up of the mighty pollen showers !h_fil once snowed down in golden ram_{rom those ancient trees. Micro- scopic cross-sections of coal have led men to believe this almost incredible theory. Certainly the spores of our club ‘mosses of today are highly in- flammable. Frequently in fireworks they are employed to make a sudden flare, and stage lightning is frequent- ly only a flash of club mass spores. Shake a thin coating of these spores on a glass of water and touch a match to them. In spite of the water they will flare up, almost like the explosive combustion of celluloid. The truth is the club-moss spores will not wet. If you cover your hand with them and plunge it then in water it will come out as dry as though you had worn a rubber glove. Apothecaries use the spores to roll pills in to keep them dry. Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETAY. They Lack Ambition. The person who lacks ambition cares very little for the things that are the life of .the cultured individual. Those who are ambitious and long for the finer and higher things of life often are perplexed to understand the type of individual who does not strive for advancement. The animal instincts are more fully developed than the intellectual and aspiring faculties. This type of person may be known by the shape of his head. Contrary to the popular belief, the cranium is not all bone but is elastic and as the faculties of the brain- develop, they shape the head. Ope of these persons has a low head; that is, there is a shortness be- tween the brows and the hair line on the top forehead. The eyes are set high up on the head and there also is lowness from the opening of the ear orfon’s | Oupusl €l Fish Cakes 'hfilw'mm-hmfi‘m@n—._ to the middle top head.
