At the close of n revival service In Philadelphia the minister of the church went down the nlsle, according to bis custom, to greet the strangers lit the congregation. "I don't tlilnk you nre a member of our church," snld he to one ns he wnnnly shook his hand, "No, sir," replied the stranger. "Well, you will not think me unduly curious If I ask to what denomlnntlon you be long?" asked the minister. "I sup pose, responded the other, l in really what you might call a submerged Pres byterian." "A submerged Presbyte rian?" exclaimed the minister. ' should be glad If you would explain Well, I was brought up a Presbyte rian, my wife Is a Methodist, my eldest daughter Is n Baptist, my son is the or ganist nt 11 Liiitarian church, my sec ond daughter sings In an Kplscopal choir, nml my youngest goes to u Con gregational Sunday school." "Hut," said the miuister, ughast, "you con tribute doubtless to some church?" "les; I contribute to nil of them," was the answer. "That's whut submerges me." Crows and Strings. It was proved centuries ago that a crow can count up to three and no more. I met a fanner once who said that bis coru crop had not failed In wenty years owing to his habit of stringing his Held. He explained 'No crow will enter an angle formed by two strings stretched on poles. I Illustrated this to some friends sev eral years ngo by sowing a small field In corn for fodder, protecting It by a zigzag string running from one end to the other. Within the angles formed iy the string not a blade of the young crop wns touched, but close without them, nt ench end, the whole crop was demolished. A crow Is a very wise fool, nnd this Is nn effective nnd chenp way of clrcuinvcutlug him." New York Tress. J Sign Language on the Curb. Any one would imagine nil the curb brokers In Broad street were mutes. They use the sign language down there now to convey quotations and snles to their office boys nnd clerks who sit In the windows of the ollices to catch the quotations. As a matter of fact, some of the brokers use the deaf nnd dumb alphabet; others use a distinct signaling code of their own. known only to the one single house nd Its representative. Even this. however, has to 1 changed now and then. The brokers possess a nimble wit, nnd they soon learn the secret signs of their competitors. New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. The Safest Way. "My friends dragged me Into this wretched affair," shlverlngly said the first duelist to his adversary as the seconds approached with the deadly wenpons. "I never pulled the trigger of a pistol In my life, so If I hit you It will be nn accident." "Nor Is this awful duel to my liking," whined the challenger, white to the gills. "Like you, a pistol is u strange nrtlcle to my hands, and If I shoot you It will be with a stray shot." "Then, for heaven's snke," exclaimed the first duelist, with a ray of hope, "let's aim carefully at each other or one of us may get hit:" Kansas City Newslmok. flavoring Tobaeco. Nearly all tobaccos are doctored In various ways In order to suit the tastes or different consumers. Each mnuu faeturer even In Havana has his own secret methods, handed down from fa ther to son, which are regarded as per fectly legitimate and necessary In tho preparation of the soothing weed. Salt peter Is added to the tobacco to make It burn well, licorice, honey, molasses nnd maple sugar to give sweetness to It for the scclul Ivenellt of chewera nnd rum to make It keep well and pre serve Its properties. Nearly every plant which will afford a perfume Is used in the preparation of what are known as "fancy" tobaccos. Hut It Is not true, as some suppose, that opium and deleterious drugs nre employed, snve In a few brands of Imported Turkish nnd Egyptian cigarettes. Among the flavors used are coffee, tea, valerian, lemon, orange, geranium, sassafras, thyme, anise, mint nnd cin namon. Gum nnd glycerin nre occa sionally employed to bind the tolmevo particles so that they shall not crumble Into dust. The various Ingredients are made Into a klud of sauce, Into which the tobacco leaves are dipped or with w hlch they are sprinkled. Loudon Answers. The Beit Machines. The Idea that pence could be the normal relatlou of the nations never entered Napoleon's head or tho head of any nmu about him, declares A. L. Klellnnd In "Napoleon's Men and Methods." Iu his mind pence could only mean a pause between two wars. He had no Idea to give to the world. Sis thoughts did not go beyond his own life. He shrinks at once In com parlson with a man of science, who ex ponds his life to create n thought that will nourish and elevate posterity. If Napoleon reached the highest sum mlt of a prince and a commander, he was also the last who succeeded In gathering about his person all the glamour that had leen wont to accom pany nnd ndorn tho bloody business of wnr. There wns no more of It after his fall. War became afterward an ncademlc study. Military affairs came to resemble Industrial Interests, in which It Is the best machines thatgoln the victory. We now strip our armies of their gold cords and wnvlng plumes. The admiral, who used to stand on the bridge In his gnln uniform, with his decorations and sash, now sits In a steel box and presses buttons like a telephone girl. When the glamour goes from n thing It Is near Its end. The Greatest General. All things duly considered, the great est general of whom we have any knowledge was In nil probability the Carthaginian. Hannibal. All the In formation we have of Hannibal comes from his enemies, and yet what achievements they were forced to cred it htm with: The second runic war the most brilliant in history wns prac tically one man n gainst a whole na tion, and that the strongest then known. With the nnny that he had molded out of raw and bnrbnrous levies Hannibal had to fight a nation of the stoutest and best trained war riors of ancient times, and he had to do this without nny assistance from home. It has lxcu well said thnt there Is nowhere else nn example of whnt a single man of genius may ncbleve gainst the most tremendous odds. New York America.. The Color of Jade. The Idea of Jade possessing the vir tue of bringing the wearer food for tune arose In China, where the stone Is so valued that the finding of n par ticularly line piece causes the state to take possession of the land where it was found. The lest specimens rep- resent all the hues nnd effects of sea foam, but these are eagerly snapped up by collectors nnd seldom come Into the public market. There is nnother cause for the popularity of Jade. Its peculiar green tinge has the effect of ninktug the hiimnn skin look very white. In this connection the quality of the stone Is of no nccount so long ns the color Is there. Indeed, many of the less expensive jade ornaments nre made from chips of the stone which contain noticeable flaws. rear-son's. Hie Was Hers. "I heard him behind tho door plead ing for Just one.

A New Delight Foods Shot from Guns There are myriads of homes where these foods are not new these deli cious Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice. The people who know them are already serving seventeen million dishes per month. But to millions of others these foods remain a new and unknown delight. And to those this appeal is addressed. The appeal is to try one package just for the children's sake. Serve it tomorrow morning. Listen to what they say. Then ask them what food they want next. Wheat and rice are common foods, prepared in numerous ways. See if this way is best. We make all sorts of cereal foods, so it matters little to us which kind you prefer. But it means much to you to get the food that you like best. See if Puffed Wheat is that food. Puffed Wheat-lOc Puffed Rice-15c These are the foods invented by Prof. An derson, and this is his curious process: The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into scaled guns. Then the guns are revolved for sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees. That fierce heat turns the moisture in the grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tremendous. Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam explodes. Instantly every starch granule is blasted into a myriad particles. The kernels of grain are expanded eight times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes are unaltered. We have simply the magnified grain. One package will tell you why people de light in them. Order it now. 6 Made only by The Quaker Oats Company There are several very good reasons why this suit stock is entitled to the consideration of suit buyers. There's the very im portant fact that we're conducting a 1 November Siit Sale, ! Which, to date, has been the mnst aucceaaful suit rale of the year. Upward of 50 8iiii.-tllt.50, 118,50, 820 and 822.60, priced 814.50, 814.75, 816 60, 816 75, 818 50 and 818 75. But those fifty odd suits are a small part of the suit assortment this store has to oiler. There's a suit maker on upper Fifth Avenue, New York, who makes a specialty of reproducing high priced imported Paris models for retail at 825. This woik, originally, was done exclusively for certain New York retail stores Then as his business grew and ex panded and he was able to make more suits than his New York cus tomers could use he extended his territory. The handsomest 825 Suits we have come from this suit maker. He employs the highest skilled tailors, There's a very apparent superiority io the materials he uses. Each suit seems to have a certain distinct tone and character. The lioes are cut over perfect models and you're conscious of that fact the moment you put one of these suits nn. Lastly there's an air of exclusive tailoring ab ut I these 825 Suits that immediately attr-.cta your attention. Much of J T this department's suit prestige is due to these 825 .Suits. X WILLIAM B.
