One of (be charges against the Ger
man aimameut marinfaoturera is that
they spent large suits of money in
Fianoe stirring tip an anti-Tentonio
-propoganda. This ' keeps business
moving in the fatberland and was
looked on in tbe ligbt of legitimate
commercial promotion. Spotting gen
tlemen who indaoe roosters and dogs
to fight are attested, fined and some
times looked in jail. Ibat is as it
should be. But what will tbe civil
ized world soy of tbe tig business that
seoretly indaoea two great nations to
hate each other, perhaps engage in a
war that may well nigh wreck civil
ization? Hire greed seems to have
reaobed its limit. Bat tbe promoter
of dog fights goes to jail and tbe pro
moter cf man fights enjoys honors,
prestige and fame.
MoMauus says in tbe Flint Book
Eeoord: "An ex-minister of tbe gos
pel has made, according to bis own
statement, over $16,000 engineering a
newspaper in this county, bis success
being due to printing tbe 'news.'
When be first commenced bis wonder
ful career as tbe editor of a measly
weekly in a town with the suggestive
name of Free Water, be did not know
tbe difference between a "stiokfal" of
type and a "shooting slick." Bet be
succeeded, bis snbsoribeta remaining
in ignorance as to tbe little be knew
about tbe art of all arts. Now that
be has oleaned up fifteen thousand
planks be makes full confession as to
how lie buncoed big readers. We do
not doubt tbe veraoity of tbe editor ol
tbe aqua pura town, but we feel uou
ildent he keeps a gontleman's wine
cellar of high-proof stuff, that Col.
Boyd and the Pendlotcn editors should
lose no time in duplicating."

FABULOUS TABLE ANIMALS.
Such as Welsh Rabbit, Scotch Wood
cock and Mock Crab.
When one comes to think of It, It Is
surprising how many fabulous animals
cotno regularly to the dinner table or
supper table.
Among them, of course, tbe most
familiar is tho Welsh rabbit, which In
lis original form was merely tonsted
cheese. Some folks declare that the
name is a corruption of "rarebit." but
this has never been proved.
Then there Is the golden buck, which
Is a Welsh rabbit with a poached egg
on top. Chinese rabbit is n Welsh rab
bit with rieo In It, and a Mexican rub-
.' (otherwise known ns n Spanish
ibbit) contains tomatoes and onions.
So much for rabbits. But bow many
people are familiar with the Cape
Cod turkey? Plenty In New Ungland,
where codfish goes under that name.
Scotch woodcock Is two slices of hot
buttered toast, with an anchovy on
each slice and a sauce made of half a
pint of milk and the yolks of three eggs
poured over them
Less familiar perhaps Is Kngllsh
monkey, which is made by soaking a
cupful of breadcrumbs in n cupful of
milk nnd adding a tnblespoonful of
melted butter, n beaten egg nnd half a
cupful of grated cheese, the whole,
with salt nnd pepper added, being
poured over toasted crackers.
The mock turtle Is one of the most
famllinr of fabulous table animals, be
ing served In the form of soup In
"Alice's Adventures In Wonderland"
will be found n striking picture of this
retnnrknblo reptile, represented with
tho body of n turtlo and tho head of n
calf.
Mock duck Is a roll of chopped meat
and breadcrumbs baked. Mock crab
is made by mixing equal parts of grat
ed cheese and butter, seasoning with
salt, pepper and vinegar and adding a
few drops of anchovy sauce. The
paste thus prepared Is spread on slices
of dry toaxt or sometimes served In
crib shells.
Last, but not least remarkable, of
tbeso mythological animals, known
only to the kitchen naturalist, Is the
corn oyster, which Is n small fritter of
green corn fried like a real oyster.

GOLD NUGGETS.
There It a Curious Resemblance Be
tween Them and Meteorites.
How do nuggets of gold originate
Sometimes a mass of the precious met
al worth a thousand dollars or more Is
found. By what process was so much
gold compacted Into a lump?
An attempt was made not long ago
to nnswer this question. An Investiga
tor in Australia cut aud sliced and
polished gold nuggets with the sola
purpose of finding out Just what la
their struct lire. Tbe first thing be dis
covered wns that there Is one curious
point of resemblance between gold
nuggets nnd meteorites. Both, when
polished and etched with chlorine wa
ter, exhibit a crystalline structure. In
tho case of meteorites tbe lines thus
exhibited on the etched surface are
called Wldmannstattian figures, nnd
their presence Is said to be one of the
most invariable characteristics of those
metallic bodies that fall from tbe sky
to the earth.
But it is not meant to be Implied that
gold nuggets hove fallen from the sky
because they exhibit a crystalline struc
ture recalling that of meteorites. The
resemblance Is appnreutly ouly super
flclal, and the crystals of the nuggets
differ In form from those of the nie
teorttca.
Another curious fact Is that when a
uugget Is heated In a Bunsen flame ex
plosions take place on Its surface Kits
tern are formed which continue to
swell nntil they burst with n sharp re
port and bits of gold are violently scat
tered about It Is evident that tbe nug
gets contain either gases or some liq
uids or solids which ore easily convert
ed Into the gaseous form, tbe ex pan
alon of which produces the explosions.

"Studebaker wagons
certainly last a long time9'
"I have had this wagon twenty-two years, and
during that time it cost me only $6.00 for repairs, and
that was for setting two tires."
'And after twenty-two years of daily use in good
and bad weather and over all kinds of roads, I will
put this wagon against any ncv) wagon of another
make that you can buy today."
"Studebaker wagons are built of air-dried lumber
and tested iron and steel. Even the paint and varnish
are subjected to a laboratory test to insure wearing
qualities."
"No wagon made is subjected to as many tests or is mora
carefully made than a Studebaker. You can buy them of Stude
baker dealers everywhere."
"Don't lieten to the dealer who wants to sell you a cheap
wagon, represented to be 'just as good' as a Studebaker"
Farm wagons, trucks, dump wagons and carta, delivery
wagons, buggies, surreys, depot wagons and harness of all kinds
