Americans bid their president to
go to war: Germans go to war at
their Kaiser's bidding.
War for justice and lasting peace
is going to make neighbors out of a
lot of people who heretofore mere
ly lived in the same locality.
Picketing the White House
should be suspended, at least for a
little while, when the season ar
rives for putting up preserves.
Americans have seen great poli
tical defeats brought about by over
confidence. The experience will
not be lost in providing for the
fwfoewt war in history.
Now is the time every patriot
should do his bit, and if he is a
farmer, by raising a bumper crop of
grain and potatoes, and if he is not
a farmer, then raise a garden in his
back yard. Every little bit helps.
Somebody mav as well get ready
to pin flags on the pacifists for Mr.
Bryan, now as militant as Gol.
Roosevelt,, classifies them all as
slackers. Pacifists who shut up
shop as soon as there is any good
fighting to do are of the right sort.
The metropolitan dailies are
raising a howl because of the cen
sorship of the papers. The big
dailies want to not only tell us
about our military movements, but
the enemy's as well. Congress
should pass the rigid censorship
law, even if it does displease a few
big publishers. We can afford to
have our liberties curtailed for a
short while if we are enabled to
defeat our brutal enemy the quick
er thereby.

Removing Old Paint.
Old paint may be quickly and easily
removed from any surface by scrub
bing with the fallowing mixture: Dis
solve a quart of baking soda in a gal
lon of water and add a quart of quick
lime. Apply to the surface with a
brush and In a few minutes all traces
of the old paint may be washed off in
warm water. The wood should then be
washed with vinegar before new point
is applied to remove all the alkali.
Sugar Palm's Product.
From the sugar palm in the southern
part of French Iudo-China the natives
obtain both food and drink, the latter
a kind of wine. However, the princi
pal product of the tree is sugar. Sev
oral varieties of this palm are exploit
ed by tlie natives. The tree attains
a height tif fully 20 feet, but cannot be
tupped to any advantage until fifty or
sixty years of age, when it begins to
flower. The flowers, which generally
appear at the end of braucUes, are cut
open, and the sap which exudes Is col
lected in little bamboo cups. Some
times a single flower will produce a
quart und a Wilf of sap dully for a
month, but the average- is about u
quurtjeach day per tree during the four
or live months of inflorescence.

Marvelous Strength Shown
By Insects in Proportion
To Their Size Explained.
An insect measuring 2^ inches can
draw a little wagonette of tin weighing
nearly 1% pounds. Increasing the
weight by one-half, the insect can con
tinue to drag its load a few more
paces. In other words, it can drag 45
times Its own weight.
one leg of this same Insect, when at
tached to a dynamometer, was able to
move a weight of half a pound. If a
man weighing 125 pounds were to per
forin the equivalent of this feat he
would have to lift 1,250 pounds with
one hand.
Another Insect of the “Hercules” va
riety, weighing three ounces, was able
to support on its back a brick weighing
over a pound. A human being, If sub
jected to a proportionate weight, would
be crushed.
The ordinary housefly can lift a
match between two of its feet and
carry it. A human being, to perform
a similar feat, would have to lift a
beam 8lA yards in length and 10 inches
thick.
What is the secret of this marvelous
strength of creatures so tiny and de
fenseless that one can kill them with
one finger?
Prof. A. Schmidt points out thai
gravity and atmospheric pressure have
everything to do with it. Also, in or
der to compare the weights drawn by
different animals, it is necessary to re
duce the weight carried to the same
thickness as the animal’s muscles. But
the muscles of insects are by no means
abnormally thick, nor are they larger
in proportion than tlie muscles of man
or other animals. Therefore, an animal
ten times the size of an insect should
be able to carry 100 times as heavy a
load, owing to the relative size of the
muscles. But Instead of carrying a
heavier load they carry a much smaller
load proportionately than the insect.
This is because the animal ten times
larger than the insect lias 1,000 times
ttie mass to carry. This fact explains
the strength of insects and the com
parative weakness of the elephant.
Superstitions of the Kitchen,
Cooking is such practical everyday
work that it seems strange for super
stitions. to invade the kitchen. Yet
probably there is not a cook in the
world who would venture to stir any
sort of mixture, from a custard to a
gravy, in any other direction than
“with the sun.” Many a cook will tell
you that a custard will curdle if
stirred in the opposite direction, and
that a cake will be heavy if the mix
ture he not always worked round sun
wise.
It is a common saying that if the
crank of a churn be reversed—after
turning it in the proper direction for
a time—all the work will be undone.
In some parts of the country, when
butter does not come easily, a live
coal is placed under the churn, “so as
to save it from bewitchment.”
SOME SMILES
Sounded Suspicious.
“Young man,” said the country coun
sel to the reporter of a southern paper,
“you have done me irreparable harm.’
“What have I done?” asked the be
wildered reporter.
“I got in largely on a temperance
platform, as you may recollect.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And you speak of me In this morn
ing’s paper as ‘drinking my entree with
gusto.’ It will take me more than a
lifetime to get it out of the heads of
my constituents thut gusto isn’t some
kind of alcoholic beverage."
The Ray of Joy.
“So her hus
band was killed
in a train wreck ?”
“Yes.”'
‘She must have
felt terribly" about
it?”
“She did, but so
long as lie had to
die she was glad
it happened tliaf
way because she
collected double
indemnity on his
accident insur
ance.”
Had It on Her1.
“That young man of yours,” said the
parent, as tiis daughter came down to
breakfast, “should apply for a post in
a freak museum.”
“Why, father,” exclaimed the young
lady, In tones of indignation, “what
do you mean?”
“I noticed when I passed through
the hall late last night,” answered tin?
old man, “that lie had two heads upon
his shoulder.”
