has always existed that buckwheat cakes
made In this manner are unwholesome
and indigestible. because the chemical
action that takes place so alters the Hour
from Its original character that the sour
ing or decomposing process continues In
the stomach and gives rise 10 dyspepsia
and kindred troubles.
The new way does away with all decom-
posing, all iermenting or sourins. and
places upon our tables smoking hot buck

Let the Frost Help You.

Few fully appreciate how much a
freezing of the ground does to set at lib
erty the plant food locked up IN almost
all soils. Water, in freezing, expands
about one-eighth of its bulk, and with
tremendous force. Water, if confined in
the strongest rock and frozen, will burst
it asunder. The smallest particles of
soil, which are in fact only minute bits
of rock, as the microscope will show, if
frozen while moist are broken still finer
This will go on all winter in every part
of the field or garden reached by the
frost; apd as most soils contain more or
less elements that all growing plants or
crops need, q good freezing is equiva-
lent to adding manure or fertilizers.
Hence it is desirable to expose as much
of the soil as possible to frost action, and
the deeper the better, for the lower soil
has been less drawn upon, and IS richer
in plant food. Turn up the soil this
month wherever practicable. If thrown
into ridges and hollows in field or gar
den the frost will penetrate so much
deeper. Further, plowing or spNding the
soil now exposes insects and weed roots
to killing by freezing. Still further,
soils thrown up loosely will dry out
earlier in spring and admit earlier work
ing, which Is often great gain when a
day or two may decide in favor of sue
cessfr' crop American Agriculturist.

The Old Red Cent.

As the old "red cent" has now passed
out of use, and, except rarely, out Of
sight, like the 'old oaken bucket" its
history is o matter Of sufficient inter est
for preservation. The cent was first pro-
posed by Robert Morris, the great tinan-
cier of the revolution, and was uamed by
Jefferson two years after. 1t began to
make its appearance from the mint in
1892. 1t bore the head Of Washington
on one side and l3 links on the other.
The French revolution soon created a
rage for French ideas in America, which
put on the cent instead of the head Of
Washington the head of the Goddess Of
Liberty-a French Liberty, with the
neck thrust forward and flowing locks.
The chain on the reverse side was dis
placed by the olive wreath OF peace; but
the French liberty was short.lived, so
was her portrait on our cent. The next
head or figure that succeeded thistle
staid classic dame with fllet around
her hair-came into fashion about 80 or
40 years ago, and her fnely-chisiled
Grecian features have been but slightly
altered by the lapse of time.

however, to steady march up and down

And in reply her brother unfOlded the
plan he had been cOncocting-namely,
that his niece, laying aside her "trip.
perry and her trinkets and other girls
nonsense, was to put on the mourning
garb and act the part OF q widow, in
which assumed character she was to
come and stay with hlm in his London
home.
"But can't understand"
"And you're not wanted to under.
stand" he snarled. 'Its my whim; and
it may be for the girls advantage If
she's willing and can hold her tongue,
I'll come back for her when she's really.
And I'll pay for her outfit. Grape and
weepers! Ho, ho!"
When her first surprise at her uncle's
strange proposition was over the young
girl jumped eagerly at the prospect Of a
change from the dull house she never
yet had left. She was young and spirited;
at an age when love for variety and
longing TO see the world and plunge into
its unknown delights, are natural. TIE
playing the widow she thought would be
excellent fun. There was Il spice of ad.
venture in 1t, and it would be like the
private theatricals and acting charades
she had read of and imagined so pleasant.
The old gentleman's reason for wishing
her to do SO was puzzle; but then who
could wonder at anything he did, absurd
oddity that he was. Perhaps it was to
avoid having to provide a chaperon for
her; he hated ladies so, and elder ones
especially.
The result of the scheme we have seen;
and the scheme itself was whatits origi-
nator proceeded to divulge to the would
be husband when that individual pre-
sented himself with considerable mis-
giving and agitation on the appointed
morning.
"As the lady has not turned out to be
what you took her for, is not, in fact,
widow, perhaps the whole matter may be
off. A disappointment, no doubt"
wound up the uncle with one of his brief
chuckles; but twas only right to tell
you in time, Young man, if you can
pardon the deceit, take her."
"Well," exclaimed the young man to
his fiancee, when, all things were cleared
and satisfactorily arranged, the engaged
pair were talking over the queer circum-
stance that had brought them togethe:,
II always knew your uncle was eccen-
trio, but this surpasses anything | could
have imagined of him."
