Cookery in -English restaurants, decadent for many years; is almost a lost --art. The local dishes for which the provinces had a Just fame are no longer offered; the - hotels and ,restaurants of the cities have Ceased. to specialize. 'From one end of Eng- land to the other a uniformity of ' high prices, of .careless service, and Incompetent cooking. prevails,. We offer no proof of our. allegatiorT .-He who demands it, eithernever visits restaurants or is served according to.his own merits, so says an English writer. Many excuses -but all bad --have been suggested. There was a- war and a scarcity of materials. Granted; but, to the artist, paucity of material is an Apportutllty, and may be an in- spiratiot}. The Spartan justice of the food control, it is pleaded, arranged distribution so that hotels and res- taurants wire sacrificed to the masses of the people,' .:, .,.,: We do not believe it, pitetly be- cause we doubt if the bureaucrats had a real knowledge.of the raw materials over whose.allotiient they ' ruled still more because the blight ' remains. when there • is no question of selective distribution. It is alleged.. that• the :new .rleh outbid 'public; pur•- n veyore and " absorb all the best ham, and meat, and vegetables. It would be' good hearing. that ; fortunate greater spending pe¢ ower of th e' _persons was • exercised with discrim- ination, but the prices .charged to customers at ,restaurants should give these a stout hold on any market. There is a cry that we suffer from the absence of foreigners, and that the English race, too proud to cook, must starve, like slave -making ants, self -deprived 'of their sla,ves by a gust of patriotism. 'The alignment savors of propagandist inter tional- ism, and must be hurriedl assed by. The real .explanation is unfortun- ately simple and presents little hope of change. The fate of many an in- dividual . restaurant has fallen on' restaurants in the Mass. A -new es- tablishment is opened, unpretentious and excellent. The whisper goes round, and the tablesare crpwded by ,the, elect. The " rumor grows and reaches those who are content to dine on theadvice' of others; until in the- end the modest home of art turns -intoa thronged palace_of con- vention. The proprietor prefers riches to honor, and caters only for the ignorant. - The dislocations of war, the diffi- culties of home life and a wider dis- tribution of money have prodigiously increased the restaurant habit in England, until those who know .and care have been swamped by a multi- tude of customers who neither know nor . care. The purveyors cater for the majority, and the majority gets what contents thein. And so cookery becomes a lost art in England-. A Stage Catastrophe.- Stage atastrophe.Stage catastrophes must always be counted as among - theinevitables, and Mr. David, Bispham, thp,'siell- known operatic singer, in "A `.Quaker Singer's Recollections," relates such a catastrophe when he was playing "The Flying Dutchman" at Covent Garden. The property ship was in a lamentable state .and the author tells us that in his prophetic soul he knew something was about to hap- pen. `it did, for the ship 'refused to move at the critical moment: • "By this time," he says, "the or- chestra began to stand up and peer :over the footlights, and the audience was evidently in a hushed excitement. Soddenly i.be masts of the ship began violently to shake, as the stern rose a full foot. in the air and bumped back again with a crash, • Someone in the audience tittered,and there,was a siiiind of 'Sh-sh-hush!'- in protest! Was not Wagner being performed, and was it hot by just so much a sacred occasion? "Sudenly I heard a seriesof grunts from the bowels of my craft as it again rose and fell back without mov- ing an inch forward. Then came the voice of one of the stage hands from the vasty deep, 'Why don't you shove 'el. along, Bill?' he said, so that the whole audience could hear; where- upon Bill replied still louder, ` 'Ow can I, when the thing, is stuck fast in the stage?' "With this all bounds of gravity were overcome and the audience burst into a roar of laughter, such as • might have greeted the wittiest sally of any comedian in 'The Gaiety Girl,' hien running at a neighboring theatre." Tragedy of a Caterpillar. A traveler in oath Africa tells of a • queer combat he once witnessed. He noticed a caterpillar crawling along followed by hundreds of small ants. Occasionally the ants would jump on his back and bite hint. Paus- ing, the caterpillar would turn his head and bite the ant, and thus kill him. _After slaughtering a dozen or more of his persecutors the cater- pillar climbed a stalk of grass, tail ' first, followed by the ants. As each one approached he seized it in his jaws and, threw it off the stalk. •The ants seeing that the caterpillar had too strong a position, resorted to strategy. They began sawing through the grass stalk. In a few minutes the stalk fell, and the entire force of ants pounced upon the caterpillar -and killed it at -once. Electrical Coal Mine. - The Britannia Colliery, South. Wales, is considered by expert min- ing engineers to be the most modern and best equipped in the world. It is worked solely by electrical power, and is probably the only colliery in the kingdom which does not use horses and does not raise a train of rubblish. - Honest Talk.

THE DECLINE OF SILK IN CHINA Although silk production' originat- ed within the Chinese Empire many .centuries ago, and for a long time remained a secret with that country, 'nevertheless the failure to adopt modern methods in production and manufacture has caused the Chinese silk industry to be surpassed by that of other countries employing more efficient practices. Within the past two decades "lebrine" disease has • affected the silk worm, says a United States Consular report, causing the cocoons to be of a rather inferior quality and reducing the amount • of higher grade silk in the cocoon. Prac- tically no attention was paid to the: prevalence of the disease, and until recently no steps taken to eradicate it: Scientific studies conducted with- in recent years have re$ulted in solu- tions for the difficulty,`.but little has been done in China in adopting these methods. In some eases, however, the scientific and technical schools are teaching these modern practices and laying the foundation for the practising of these improved methods__ in -sericulture. Furthermore, �1the employment of antiquated methods in the reeling of silk has . coptributed toward increas- ing the amount of waste silk and decreasing the percentage of the higher grade of raw silk for the, cocoons. Operatives have been given no training in careful reeling, and this accounts? for what has sornetim been - considered carelessness on the part of the reefers. This inefficiency in the production of - the cocoons and in the reeling has resulted in con- stantly reducing the amount of raw silk available' for export and in in- creasing the waste silk, which does not command so high a price. WOMAN IS MORE CIVILIZED THAN MAN • This is the era of renewed attacks on women, their intelligence and their morals. The onslaughts come from all directions. A 'good deal of the de- fense, emanating from women them- selves, have been weak, but Nesta I -I. Webster . does better, taking the of- fensive rather than a defensive atti tude. _ ill's.= Webster, in the "Nineteenth Century," declares woman has pro- gressed much further in civilization than man. ' ! She labels as "diain.etrically op- posed to the truth" ' the remark of Diderot in 1772 when he said: "While outwardly more ,ivilized than our- selves, women have remained true savages within," She also scorns Meredith's aphor- im, "I expect that women will, be the last thing civilized by man." The strangest feature of masculine intelligence, in Mrs. Webster's opinion, is man's' abysmal ignorance on the subject of woman. As a student of every other form of life frort the amoeba upwards, he . has displayed a comprehension that is nothing short of marvelous. The mentality of bees, wasps or ants and their exact Futility in the scheme of - things are no longer a mystery to him. But the :mentality; of women with whom he has lived on terms of in- timacy for some hundred thousand years, ,and the purpose she should serve, are subjects on which he seems unable to reach any satisfac- tory conclusion. Alternately he lauds her to the skies, alternately he thrusts her down into the dust. Now he declares she should be a queen, now a slave to minister to his needs. Now she is his guiding star, and now the clog that binds his soaring soul to earth. Men capable of sounding the depths of metaphysical speculation; men vnho have organized intricate campaigns; men of intellect, men of action, and men of science have, directly they touched on the subject of woman, displayed a want of in- telligence that is amazing. In support .of her own 'glorifica- tion of woman, -Mrs. Webster `says that to realize how immeasurably further civilized woman has departed from the primitive than man -has done, it is only necessary to picture the possibility of a typical modern man and his wife, both of the edu- cated class, being transported back over the ages to a cave dwelling and endowed -with the faculty to converse with its inhabitants in their -own tongue. The two men * he of the Stone Age, and he of the Twentieth Cen- tury -would find immediately a C61)1 - mon ground,of interest; intwo min- utes they would be eagerly explaining to each 'other the rival merits of stone -headed arrows and hammerless ejectors for bringing down an •arch- aeopteryx, the difficulties that attend- ed the breeding of their , respective herds of glossotheria or ' prize Jersey cattle, and one can see them, with no great effort of the imagination, going off arm in arm, 'thick aspthieves, to stalk a diplodocus with flint instru- ments and the latest thing in sport- ing rifles. Meanwhile what of the two wontenl How would they succeed in bridging the . gulf that civilization had formed between them?, Mrs. 'Webster thinks there is little doubt than the - "Twentieth Cendury woman, having politely admired the fish -bone necklace that com.pos4. her hostess' attire, and the Stone Age woman having *eased to marvel at her guest's well -cut tailormade, an embarrassing silence would ensue. The educated modern woman-'wolu speedily . ethe y xhaust c OiiYerSa'tidil provided by the presence of the Steric Age babies or by the' carrion lsroyic ='- ed for the day's repast, . whilst* wn scheme s of life -artistic, 'fe artistic, polio or merely social would be totally u intelligible to the woman of the cave. In a word, according to this fem- t inis thee primitive it' , e� p ve employments of woman, the purely material duties of the squaw, do not as a rule satisfy modern woman, whilst the primitive occupations of pian have never, throughout the ages, lost their charm for him. Mrs. Webster admits there are some primitive women left, and some men who have become cultivated. The four possible combinations in marriage are Priniitve Man married to Primitive Woman -often quite successful; Cultivated Man and Primitive Woman, almost as often successful; Cultivated Man and Cul- tivated Woman -discord and irrita- tion; ,Primitive Man and Cultivated Woman, representing more than any other, the ideal marriage.

Then, wizen you stop running, your eart is beating faster than neeessary -��here is really an oversupply of bittnni being pumped through your sys- m for . the time, being, ,and that es you uncomfortable, until ( the in sends word r through the other e t of nerves to the heart to slow down the heart beat. It is better to stop running gradually, to give the heart a chance ' get t ack to its nor- mal beat graauaiiy also. Why do I get out of breath when running ?-This is also caused by your brain in its efforts to keep up your supply of good,; blood. We. breathe to take air into the, lungs, where the blood which has once been through the arteriesterries and comes back on its return trip to the heart; is exposed to the air in the lungs, be- fore going 'back into the heart. The air which i we take into our lungs purifies the once used blood - and makes it into good blood again. When you run the heart pumps blood into your arteries faster to enable you to . run, Thus, also, the arteries send much more blood back to the heart through the veins, and this must be purified by the lungs before going back into the heart. To attend to purifying this extra amount of spoil- ed blood the lungs need more air, and thus you are made to breathe in more air for the purpose. Unless you are • in good training -your wind in good condition, as we say -it is almost im- possible for you to supply the lungs with enough air for the purpose, but whether you can do it or not, the lungs call upon you for more air. and cause you to try to get it, and that is what makes you get out of breath. 5.0 ''WHY WON'T A THIRD SET OF TEETH GROW? • When we remember the process which takes place when a child loses its first teeth, and the second set appears immediately' afterwards, it is quite natural to wonder why. teeth don't keep on breaking through the gums as often as - we lase them. But Nature, for some reason, has decreed that two sets is the limit. When babies are born tltey have hidden in their gums all their first or primary teeth -twenty iii num- er. A baby, however, obtains its ad by sucking, instead of biting, s it is better that its teeth should be out of the way at first, below. the gums. Still deeper down, be- low the primary teeth, and also fur- ther back in the jaw than these, are little gZ'ottps of cells or "tooth germs," which eventually make the ;seeond of teeth. There are thirtyetwo sets of these cells, and though none of them look like teeth, they possess the power of forming the different kinds of teeth that we, as adults, find use- ful'. Because of the presence of these "tooth germs" it is extremely important to keep even the prim- ary teeth scrupplously clean. If they ,are neglected, the decay will quickly spread to the kerns under- neath, and when. the second teeth make their appearance they will either be irregular, or so brittle that the outside will crumble away. We have, however, only one set of these "teeth germs"-- which is the reason that no third tooth will grow to replace a second tooth. there being no germ lying beneath it. THE REASON WHY Why does the heart beat when the brain is asleep: Under ordinary con- ditions the heart beats are controlled by certain nerve cells which are lo- cated within -the heart itself, and these cause the heart to beat even while the brain is asleep. This ex- plains why the heart beats when the brain is asleep, and the fact that the brain when asleep does not exercise its functions shows how necessary this wrangement and the control of ordin- y heart beats is. If this were not. so, we should not be able to live while asleep. It is just like the manage- ment of a'great business in this sense. The 'general manager of a great busi- ness has control of the entire works, but there are occasions when he must be thinking of only one thing in- con- nection with the business, and so he must have his organization so com- plete that the- parts which he can not be thinking about at the time will do their work just the same. So he sur- rounds himself with competent assist- ants, who look after certain depart- ments, while he is busy or away or asleep, and if anything goes wrong ' while he is away, he calls on special forces to get things right. Now the brainis the general manager of the whole body and has these nerve cells in the heart as a sort of assistant managerA look after the heart beats in ordinary conditions, and to keep the heart going while he is asleep. But, by reason of his office as general manager, the brain has a special way - of sending orders to the heart through special nerves which run from the brain down each side of the neck to the heart. There are two pairs of these special nerves. One pair, if set in motion, will make the heart beat faster, and the other pair will make the heart beat more slowly. Why do our hearts beat faster when we are running ? When you start running, the brain knows at once that your legs and other parts of the body will need more blood to keep them going, and so the brain- sends down orders through his spec- ial nerves, which make the heart beat many. An old social observer of my acquaintance sometimes entertains himself with the speculation what would have happened if that young Princess had bad a mind for intrigue and had used her popularity and in- fluence to get England to go the whole way with Denmark and with- stand it.stand to the point of war the Ger- man annexation of these -provinces, himself was half o Palmerstonf th that mind, and the Princess of Wales would have found ready material for such a I .scheme. But nothing was further from the 'thoughts of this gentle lady than political interference{ in her new country. She has shown on many occasions t�t she has "a will of her- owei, but. i has been generally used toet her own wayr g t in he scheme of charity. She is the most generous of givers, and although the cost of the upkeep of Sandringham -and Marl- borough House has enormously in- creased, while her income is station- , ary, it -has made no difference to the extent of her charities. - Queen Alexandra's seventy-sixth birthday found - her in good health.
