soda. 1t should be baked in four square
tins. While they are baking the lemon
jelly should be prepared. Beat the
white of one egg, slightly squeeze over
it the juice of one lemon, and stir very
stiff with white sugar; spread this be-
tween the cakes precisely like jelly. If
icing is desired, the best method of
making it is to stir the white of an egg
stiff with sugar, about as stiff as Indian
mush, and spread with a knife. Much
time is saved, as the egg needs TO be
only slightly beaten.
Treatment of House-plants: In
watering plants in rooms, discretion
must be used; cactus, cereus, and in
fact all the so-called succulents, require
but little water in winter: simply
enough to keep them growing. Callas,
and all that class of aquatic or semi
aquatic plants will bear watering to sat
uration As rule, smOoth-leaved and
hard plants require less watering than
pubescent and soft-leaved plants. Many
small pots require water every day,
sometimes twice a day-they dry out So
fast-unless plunged into some moist
material The difficulty with amateurs
is, they usually give small pots too little
water, and large pots too much. Until
the true habit and necessities of plant
are learned, ii is better that it dry sufii-
GENTLY 10 droop little, rather than that

ration kills more plants than too much

and his honest lace, broad shoulders
and hrawny arms proved such RECON-

From this marriage, in the year 1910,
Sheppard was born. In the year 1913,
when Shep. was three years Old, his
father once more set out on his travels,
and finally settled on farm IN Perry
County, about four miles from the pres
ent town OF Chapel Hill, and midway
between Athens and GAINESVILLE. The
distance between these two places is
fifty miles. Here John erected and
opened a tavern for wayfarers which
has been known ever since as g Tinker's

BELLS.
BY ADAM NEwBEGIN.

The point has recently been made
against bells that even their ringing Sun.
days is by some regarded as a relic of
barbarism, and but very recently our nine
o'clock bell has been discontinued be-
cause it disturbed concerts at City Hall.
This is much to be regretted, as it is one
of the Puritan customs which was brought
from the old country, and is not only a
good thing in itself, but is endeared to
us by many pleasant associations. 1t is
wholesome reminder to youth to keep
early hours, and to their elders it brings
back the memory of happy days in child
hood, and of moonlight evenings in youth,
with strolls under the shadowy elms, or
rowing parties in the harbor, when its
warning tones came sweet and mellow
over the water. There were many good
things in the Puritan days which we
should do well to remember, and we can
not afford to sacrifice any of the harmless
old fashions to utilitarianism. 1t is said
that it was a relic of the Norman cur
few, But that was good thing of
itself, for although it may have been i'm
posed upon the Saxons to guard against
rebellious assemblies, it was well to have
all fires covered up at night to prevent
conaagrations in wooden thatched cot
tages, when chimneys were few and peo-
pie were needless. The English evidently
did not dislike it, for, although the law
was abolished by Henry l. in 100, it
continued until the sixteenth century,
and even in l749 Gray wrote:
..The curfew tolls the knell OF parting day"
All will admit their usefulness as an
alarm signal, and time out of mind they
have been used to warn people of inva-
sion or flood.
Dundee he is mounted, he rides up. the street,
The bells are rung backward. the drums they
are beat"
And in Jean Ingelow's charming poem
of "The High Tide in Lincolnshire, we
read:
"For evil news from Mablethorpe,
or pyrate gaileys warping down;
For shippes ashore beyond the scorpe,
They have net spared TO wake the towne.
But while the west bin red to see,
And storms be none, and pyrates fee,
Why ring The Brides of Enderby'?"
Can we ever forget the start with
which the city awoke that morning when
the Florida was reported to be landing
men to capture Fort Preble, and the
eager bells brought everyone into the
streets at early dawn?
For celebrations and rejoicings. they
cannot be spared. Their most obdurate
opponent can hardly regret being walked
up on Independence morning by their
merry peal, when we remember that they
proclaim liberty throughout all the land,
and unto all the inhabitants thereof.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1880-11-23

AN old monkey, designing to teach
his sons the advantage of unity, brought
them a number of sticks, and desired
them to see how easily they might be
broken one at time. So each young
monkey took a stick and broke it.
"Now," said the father, "rll teach you
a lesson" And he began to gather the
sticks into a bundle. But the young
monkeys, thinking he was about to beat
them, set upon him altogether and dis
abled him. "There," said the aged suf.
ferer, "behold the advantage of unity /!
If you had assailed me one at a time, l
would have killed every mothers son Of
you!"
