When you have « lareg cheese and have cut Into It and wibh to put away what Is left you «bouId butter the cut edges. The •mailer quantities that are for dally use may be kept In a covered crock.

Uf course, those giant iicw'.s were of long-extinct specie.s. but the Jokb of It was that a learned invesllgatur declared the bones to be those of human bclng.s, presumably drowned iu th© flood from which Noah and his family escaped iu the ark. It would have beeu Interesting to live in those distant days, when so many queer luonswers (mostly of aquatic habits) swarmed on the earth. They seem to have been among nature's earlier experiments, aban- doned later. There were no mammals then; and the supposition is that all tue nianinials of to-day, including man, were origin- ally derived from a reptilian ancestry. We cannot say for certain that this queer reptile (which llvtd about 7,000,- OOO years ago) was not actually an an- cestor of our own. It was dug up in Texas, and has been uamed Oinietrodon. About eight feet long, the most curious thing about it was the enormous fin it tar- ried on iti back -the ribs of t'ho fin being a series of bones extending from the vertebrae. Of what use was this fin? J^erhaps it was merely for ornament. Or it may be that it was a means of de- fence, rendering the huge lizard less attrattive Cc the Uippetlte of larger prey. â€" â€" m t 9 â€" â€" â€" .SOME NEAV STAMPS â-  In con«cllon with the proclamation of D'Annunrlo as Dictator of Flume, a new postage stamp for the port hu^t been designed, by the Italian artist Uuido Massurig, and Is now being l»rlntrd in Koine.

Their country, which has been little altered by the war, forms roughly an oblong area betw(!en Itoumania on the north, the ninck Sea on the east, and (ireece and the Aegean Sea on the south, and .Uigo-Slavia on the west Itii fron- tiers wers determined by the Treaties of Hiicbarcst and Constantinople ia r.>i;i. The present area of the coun- try is about 4:i,000 square miles, and It occuplce about one-fifth of the whole of the Balkan peninsula. The Black Sea is more hospitable than tho Ae- gean, and contains two important ports, Varna and llurgas. Dedo-gatch, on the Aegean, which came into prom- inence during the great war, and which is the only port of importance on that sea, is shallow and unprotect- ed. It is served by the Danube, the Kamchilc, the Maritsa and the Struma. The inhabitants arc mainly a fusion of liulgars and Slavs, and their language was i^implified In structure by the TurkiFh conquest. It was in the mid- dle of the seventh century that the Uulgars fir.'st appeared in the Ualkans, but from 101. S to Il.^'ti Bulgaria was a dependency of the (irceks. l.ater it was overrun by the Turkic. The year 1!)05! was the great year for Bulgaria. The agreement between Itussia and Austria came to an end, and Russian and English diplomatists met at Kev- al, as a result oi which the indepenil- ence of Bulgaria was proclaimed with Ferdinand as the first monarch of the country. llulgaria took part in both tho first and the second Halkan wars. and while she gained much territory from Turkey, she was forced to cede some to ..ouniania. The bulk of the people of Bulgaria belong to tho Greek Orthodox Church, but there is liberty of belief to other religions. For many years the education of the country was entirely In the hands of the Greek clergy, but the progress of recent years has been striking. In 1888 only olcven per cent, of the population could read and write. To-day prob- i ably forty per cent. Is literate. The [ country Is largely agricultural, both csreals and livestock being exporicrt, «• well as some cotton, sugar and to bacco. There are some mineral", in- cluding 6omc hfi'.vy deposits of oil shale, which still awaits development. ROYAL YEAST CAKES «re now packed in square packages. Each package con- tains five cakes, whicK &.re equ&.l in quantity to six round cakes. All dealers are author- ized to guaLfantee that the quality of the round and square cakes are identical in every respect.

Mothers who remark that girls to- day are more prone to Kiiapinla tluin the girls of a generation ago, should look back at the surroundinKs In whifth they and their comi-anions lived. They would t:irily -sio thu reason in life's altered circumslaiices to-day. Now the t-chooI-Kirl's life i." more Htrenuous; her more numerou.i stu- dies are a severe tax upon her f-trcngth. Also, girls eiiirr business fcoon after U-avlng school at an a^o when they most no.^d ro.-tt and outdoor life. Their womoTiIy devclopmciil 1^ hampered by the i-trt>:'n of working hours, hurried and often Kcanly meals. Ctlrls are more liable to Moodlessnoss to-day, but there is thiH consolation that, whereas doctors formerly regard- ed anaemia as often huurable. tlio cures are now counted in tons of thousands. Such medicines as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have restored to good health thousands of weak an- aemic girls and women, simply be- cause they contain the elements ueces- sary to make new, rich, red blood which means g(K>d health and vitality. When your daughter's strength falls and pallor, brQathlessness and back- ache disclose her anaemic condition, remember that you can make her well and assure her healthy development hy giving her Or. Williams' Pink Pills to make good red blood. ncniGrnber, too, that for women of all age:i, IJr. Williams' FlnU Pills are u.ipecially helpful In the many ailments that re- sult from watery blood.

Vhile the family names Higgins* and Higginson <!ften come from "UlcU'' or "iflccon," a!d Bnglisii nick-names for Richard, it is sate to say that in tho majority of cases In this country sueli names are fcltlc. So far as O'- Mlggin and MacHiggin or McHi^n ar<' concerned there Is no reasonable duubt that they are Irish. The Irish Ulggins, like the lOnghsh, comes from a given name, but not the same one. The mistake is often made of con- fusing this name with the name of Keeifan. that Is, in assuming that It conips from tlie same given name, Koghan, through the use of the prefix ".M:>c.' The argumnnt being that there Is little real difference between MacKeegan and .MacHlggln. This ar- gument, however, loses sight of the fact that both of these forms arc but Kngllsh corruptions of the Irish sur- nnmes. which are traceable dpfinitely lo different sources both by means of spelling and the historical-genealogi- cal records In the Irish language. The Irish form of th? surname is "O'h-Uigiu." or ".VlacUlgin,'' tho "h" being a necessary insertion afier "()" lo make it pronounceable. Th2 family or clan name comes from the given name of "lligin," which means "knowledK«:-" The form llissinson would appear to be Knglisli. but the-i< arc many cases on rcc,)r(l, wiiere it 1'^ simply an Anglicized version of the Irish family most common in \\'esimeath and Gal- way. AIRfilEN AND THE BIRDS. Ill spile of Ihclr dIfficuU and e.x- acling task, a few alriuun have found opportunity to observe and record the height at wliidi various migrating bli'ds are accustomed to fly. Thus from French soldiers of the air it is learned that swallows have been observed to maintain an average al- titude of 700 yards, and wild ducks one of 1.800 yards, and that green plovers have been seen at a height of 2.150 yards. Incidentally It may be mentioned that the ducks were moving at a speed of slily-flve and a half miles an hour when flying up- ward and sixty-nlns miles an hour when flying horizontally. .\nolher aviator when flying at 8,500 feet saw BKallows high above him. And an- other who made his observations at a a height of 6.000 feet during a heavy bombardment, with anti-aircraft shells bursting all about him, says that he saw 200 golden plovers, per- haps driven higher than usual by the fact that the vicinity was an unpleas- ant bolt to cross. > BLED TO DEATH Tried to trim a wwrt with a razor aud s-pvered an artery.

They honored biavcry even In the worst enemy. Frcg.ien'ly they ei- culed cowards at once, for their ac- lioii.s were considered a disgrace lo the whole tribe. When, for Instance, In 1643 the Ber:,iamitcs returned from a victorious assault on the en.>my, Ktlchwat, one of their number, acted, v/hllft the fieht was on, the part of tho waverer. The warriors upon their return were given a w'onderf'.;l reception by the old men, wjmon and children at the camp. The coward withdrew from the scene of revfili-y and sat alone on a log by the river. Then without apparent dppi!;n, the Kirls and children danced nearer aud nearor to him until they reached where he sat. Then Pioskaret, the chief of the tribe, stalked into tlic circle. "By your cowardice In front of tho enemy, you have dirgracod us all. Yon must die." That was nil he said, but the ver- dict of the tribe had been rendered and tliere v.-as no appeal. The pen- tonce was tarrird out at once. Tiiy festivities Ftojiped imitantl.v and the warriors and boy.n gathered around the victim and the executioner. An ominous siler.ce. like a pall, enveloped all. Without a word the coward rose from the log on which he sat, barod the breast and tho war chief struck. The body v.-iui carried away outsldo the camp and the feast went on with no more interrujtion. All but the father ai.d the brothers ot the dis- graced man spe;it the night iu feast- iiiB and revelry.

In IS^2.> two New Eng- land men proposed electricity as r'l- tor power, bu; the problem oC j.-- ccssful road locomotion lagged natll the middle seveniies. Then appeared a geTiIus who appreciated the pc-i.'?'- hUlties of the motor vehicles at a tlnio when his Ideas were regarded as visionary. Strange lis it may seem, and \?ilh a touch of the. ludicrous, the first com- bustion engine was operated by a combination of nitrous oxide (laugh- ing gas) and coal oil, mixed by au lUomizlng Jet Very high power was developed In jiroport'on to weight, but. as the explosion took place In an ex- ternal c'lampcr, and the expanding "a-, had lo be introduced Into a cylir.- dcr proper through a valve, tbe heat or the explosion invariably fused ihit valve after a shorr lime and stoppt'd tbe engine. f The Inventor then realized that to make a gas engine for highway loco- motion the primary rxplosion must take place ivlthtn the cylinder Itself This he worked out to a point of sr.c- cossful operaflon, and by certain rude tests determined that It developed power enough lo propel Lis vehicle He met ihe overheating problem by a splash system from a enpply ct water In the crank chamber, ar.4 solved the problem of lubrication with a mineral manufactured from pe- troleum. This was In 1877. The engine aior.e was operated this year. The g^rs. â- wheels, clutch and steering aoparatns were matter of toy-like models, of blue prints and specifications. On these he secured his ptaents. Thus, the first gasoline propel><l road wagon in the world was Con- ceived by George B. Seldon, ot Ro- hcester, N.
