Some Of our farmers say that
owing to the fact that they could
not SOW oats in the fall they will
not SOW as many now as they first
intended. This is wrong Every
farmer should SOW largely OF
spring oats. There is no crop
raised in this county 50 valuable
to the farmer as oats, and certain
ly none so cheap. The very fact
that the spring crop of oats is not
so certain to yield largely is a
reason why every farmer should
be Interested in sowing the more;
and it frequently happens that the
spring crop does better than oats
sown in the fall. We hope then
that every farmer in Trrrell coun-
tv at least will not neglect to give
the matter the attention that its
Importance merits.

society in Mexico.

Boston Herald.
The habits of good society here are quite
the same. with little more dash of aban
don, as anywhere in the world.
The writer in the Southern Bivouac
speaks of the replacement of the lace vail
by the American hat" Nobody here
wears the American hatS-that is, the
ladies. They wear imported Paris hats en-
tirely. The sevillana. or modern small man.
tilla-a most delightfully."- graceful head
dress which ought to be the fashion in the
States in the summer, so universally be-
coming is it to all women-is not at all dis
placed by the French hat. The sevillana
is entirely permissible in the forenoon
hours, and no lady wears a bonnet to
church. The church costume is black
silk or wooden dress and a sevillana, and
if you want to see some beautiful Spanish
types among the ladies go to the cathe
dral, or to the fashionable Santa Brig
ida or profesa churches of a morn
ing-where, among the hundreds of
kneeling wOrshiperS, you will see faces that
an American painter would give much to
transfer to canvass. The Mexican ladies
60 to church daily in the morning hours,
for here worship is not restricted to one day
in week. and the Mexican church is not a
combination of lecture loom, reception halls
and church kitchen. 1t is place in which
to worship God, and not to make display
of toilets and to cook oyster stewS.
The liberty accorded the ladies' young
and old, nowadays. is much more extended
than in olden times. The young ladies ap-
pearing on the street were invariably ac-
companed, if not by parent by an old
woman who served as duenna and kept a
sharp eye on the girls lest they should catch
the glances of the young caballeroS. 1t
was then the rule for the girls to walk with
their mouths hidden by their mantilas,
which they kept in place by one hand.
This fashion of going with la boca
tapada, or mouth covered, still obtains
among the more modest young
women of the lower classes, who carry
their rebozos in such a manner as to look
like Moorish women. In fact, it is Moor
sh custom, coming down from the time the
Arabs ruled in Spain. 1t is considered very
well bred and modest for women of the
lower classes not to show their mouths to
the men, but, as l said, it is not a univer-
sal custom, even among the lower-claSS
people.
An old friend. who has lived here nearly
forty years, says that in his time, about
1919, IHere were only TWO SHOPS III ali the
city where one could buy ladies' French
goods-silks, ribbons, bonnets, etc. There
were rot then, as now, shops with great
plate glass fronts filled with foreign goods.
Now, you may walk along the principal
streets and see in the great windows as
elegant goods as in Boston or New York.
Some of the stocks of silks and ladies'
goods carried are very large. There are
two crockery stores-they are called 'cris-
talerias"-where splendid stocks are to be
seen, but the goods are displayed mainly
in upstairs apartments.

Timely Recipe fer n TOOthsOme
Christmas DelicncY.
Chicago Herald.

Such recipes as the following have gen.
uine Old Christmas flavor which make them
valued possessions of the family: Remove
the stones from two pounds of raisinS and
two pounds of pruneS: wash and dry nicely
two pounds of curTantS: cut into fine pieces
half-pound of citron, One-quarter pound
each of candied orange and lemon peel;
stir into the fruit one nutmeg, grated, one
teaspoon each of ground cloves, cinnamon,
allspice, and mace, one pinch each of salt
and ginger; over all pour two wine-glaSseS
of brandy and two of water. Let it stand
over night; next morning sprinkle hand
full of flour over pound of fresh, sweet
beef suet; chop it until it is so fine it will
go through the fingers like meal. Mix with
the Suet one pound of rolled crumbs of dry
stale bread and one pound of -four, one
pound of butter, one-half pound of sugar
and the beaten yolks of nine eggs. When
well stirred add the whites of the eggs.
beaten to stiff froth then stir in the fruit.
When thoroughly mixed divide the mix
lures into three equal parts and tie into
Toured cloths and boil for seven hours
steadily. double and sometimes make
three times the rule, early in the winter,
and hang the boiled buildings on certain
nails-kept sacred to our plum puddings-
until one is desired then il is taken down
and boiled again for one hour before sery-
ing. This way deserves special recon-
mendation, not only because the pudding
is better for the hanging and extra boiling,
but because one has always an unusually
nice desert ready to be served at any mo-
ment. 1 prefer brandy sauce. To serve
the pudding, turn it out on fiat dish or
platter and stick half a pound of blanched
almonds into it. Christmas day one ought
to have sprig of holly in the top. Pour
brandy over the pudding and in the dish,
touch march to it and send it to the table
burning. Take warning by ayoung house
keepers experience, and. no matter how
great the occasion. do not use your best cut
glass tray, for the burning brandy will
crack the elegant dish right through the
center. E. II. S.

SCARPOLOGY.

ftTells Your Character by Your Old
Boots.-A Great Collector and His
observations.
London Standard.
A few weeks ago had occasion to COM
ment upon the case of an eccentric indiyid-
ual who had q mania for collecting the cast
off slippers of operate danseuses. This
person has been altogether distanced by a
doctor named Care, domiciled at Basic,
who collects old boots and slippers and
studies them. Carlyle has, of course, shown
what an amount of philosophy can be ex-
tracted from old clothes, but it has been re-
served for the ingenious Care to discover
valuable properties in old boots He has
designated the results of his Investigations
into the secrets of discarded leather as
''scarpology," a name hitherto unknown to
photographers. Scarp olOgy, like logic, as
defined by Archbishop Whately, is both an
art and science, and according to its
founder it gives clue to the characters of
men from study of their Superannuated
leather.
DR.. Care has been good enough to fur
niSh the public with what may be called
the alphabet Of scarpology. which will. no
doubt, receive a grammar and SyntaX in
lluio 1IOUl It's lOufUSt VI 1C4lOnOlS.
According to this discarded boot, the heel
and sole of which show equal and even
traces Of hard work after two months use,
denotes its wearer to be, if man, an ener-
getic determined and practical individual,
and if a woman, faithful spouse and an
excellent household manager. A sole worn
and broken on the outside denotes fanci-
full, capricious individual. swhile the con-
trary betrays irresolutiOn, weakness and
timidity. Boots whereof the outside sOles
and the edges of the toe caps are worn
away show their owners to be everything
that is bad. and capable of any crime up to
murder.
Another elementary rule laid down by
the scarpological savant is that young
females who try to insert their feet into
boots denomInated in technical language
''fours." when their proper size should be
numerically designated as ''siXeS, are to be
avoided by young men as if they had the
plague. No trust. observes the doctor. in
his own plain-spOken style, is to be OH any
account placed in women with big feet who
try to make people believe that they have
got pieds mignons by crushing and cramp-
ing themselves into small boots after the
fashion of the female inhabitants of the
Celestial empire.

SELECTING A HUSBAND.
How Some of the Notable Women
Loved and How They Wed.

Loved and How They Wed.
Chicago Mail
There are two sides to the question of
loye-made vs. paternal-made marriages, as
there are to every other question. Parents
who have seen the world are better able to
choose a husband than an inexperienced
girl under the influence of blind Cupid.
Many young lady who has been forced to
marry her parents choice instead of her
own has cried and torn her hair and raved
of the convent and of suicide, and yet,
after all, her souls idol has turned out
scamp. and she has been grateful in after
years for the happy home and the worthy
husband that two wiser heads than her own
found for her.
Still, the little god, Cupid. does not
always wear bandage over his eyes, and
an intellectual, we'll educated girl ought to
have-and really kind parents will allow
her-a voice in the selection of her future
partner. How long it may be ere she OBJ
tains this privilege In France is doubtful,
for the French character presents curious
combination of hasty fiickleness and obsti-
nate conservatism, now kicking down with
irreverent foot a time-honOred monument
of worth and wisdom, and anon clinging
with desperate tenacity to fatal prejudice
that could easily be surrendered with ad-
vantage to all concerned.
The great Empress Catherine of Russia,
when she made up her mind to marry off
her grandson, the young Grand Duke Alex
ander. sent for three'charming young Ger
man princesses, and when they arrived at
st. Petersburg she watched them as each
stepped out of the carriage that had brought
so fair load to the palace. One of the
princesses sprang lightly to the ground
without touching the carriage step. ''She
will not do,' muttered the experienced old
empress; TOO Eighty" The second
princess came ont quietly. but
caught her long robe in the step
and very nearly measured her length Oh the
pavement. 'Hem an empress of Russia
must be little less clumsy than thatr' said
old Catherine to herself. The third stepped
down, deliberate. radiant, blooming with
health, yet full of majesty. There's our
empress" said the old dowager, and
fastened down to welcome her. Catherine
had her two grandsons, Alexander and
Constantine, brought to st. Petersburg to
meet these beauties. Constantine. the
see anything in either of them. Send
them off 10 Courland." said he; ''the old
duke will fancy one of Them"
Alexander, on the contrary, fell in love
with Louise of Baden, the third who STEP
ped from the carriage. and she naively con-
fessed to Catherine that she never had met
young man to compare with the Grand
Duke Alexander. When Catherine told
them she intended them for each other
Alexander jumped with delight, and gentle
Louise shed tears of Joy.

MISTAKEN FOR SULLIVAN.
A Deputy Assessor Taken for III
Champion of the World.

Champion of the World.
On the night of the opening Of Paddy
Ryan's saloon there was an immense crowd
inside and out, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. All were looking for drinks and
also to grasp the hand that didn't knock
Sullivan out. Compliments were being
passed between drinks. such as, paddy,
you're good 'un, anyhow, and you're the
only boy that ever stood before John Sulli-
van." Mr.. Ryan received the well-meaning
beStowals of admiration as gracefully as a
stoic and threw off toddy at the expense
of the admirer.
At the most suspicious moment Deputy
Assessor Tom Mortee came with a crowd
of bloods, who hustled their way up to the
counter after much difficulty. Mortee is 4
large man and somewhat resembles John
l.. Sullivan. He threw himself partially
over the counter, extended his hand and
shouted:
Say. Paddy, old boy, Pm glad to see
you. Pm awful sorry that 1 knocked you
out the other night but [ couldn't help it.
There's no hard feeling. is there, old man?"
Ryan saw the joke at once. and placing
his hand warmly into that of Mortee's,
vociferated: why, John Sullivan, love
you as / always have. and you know it;
take one with me. That will be all right.
The crowd heard this, and not knowing
Sullivan, swarmed around Mortee. as a
conspicuous case of mistaken identity. The
self-constituted Sullivan was being smOth-
cred almost by the crowd, who were press
ing around him from every side in ecstasies
OF wild alteration. Officers Videau and
McBey, who were on duty outside, man
aged to get in and rescue the deputy from
the throng who desired to touch the hem Of
his garment.
