Conditions of Vigorous OH Age.

The present greater proportion than
formerly existed of men who pass the
ace Of seventy years, reach fourscorc, or
arc active at ninety years, points to one
of the brighter phases of our civilization.
The association of this vigor with differ
ent physical types is suggestive Of Ger
tain generality of origin, and encourages
the hope that it may be partly dependent
on personal conduct. As a first condi-
ton toward obtaining effective lon5cy-
ity, DR.. B. w. Richardson advises pa
rents to begin for their children by saving
them the infection Of mental shocks and
unnecessary grief, and making every
thing as happy for them as they can. The
persons themselves, when older, should
avoid grief and eschew hate, jealousy,
unchastlty, and intemperance, all OF
which hasten the coming OF old age.
When old age has really begun, its
march may be delayed by rules securing
the least friction and the least waste;
subsistence on light but nutritious food,
varying according to the season, and
moderate in quantity; dressing warmly,
but lightly, 50 as to enable the body to
maintain its even temperature; keeping
the body in fair exercise and the mind
active and cheerful; maintaing an inter
est in what is going on in the world, anl
participating IN reasonable labors and
pleasures; securing plenty of sleep dur
ing sleeping hours, in room kept at a
moderate temperature; and avoiding pas
sion, excitement and luxury. The weaker
man may thus sometimes show himself
the more tenacious of life.-T1pular Sci
eRee Monthly.

An Adventure With Whales.

Pilot Keely, of the Sandy Hook On.
J.) pilot boat Actae No. Is, came into
port with the steamer Caledonia on re-
cent night, and he tells Of strange adj
venture which the pilot boat had with !
school of whales. The Actae was for,
merly a yacht belonging in Boston. She
is the largest and supposed to be the
flcetest boat in the pilot feet. She is
the only one with faring bows.
The Actae was about $50 miles cast of
Sandy Hook, running before northeast
wind at eight knots an hour. 1t was
early in the morning and no one was Oh
deck. except the man at the wheel.
Looking out ahead over the tumbliug
sea be saw in the water a cOmmotlon
which was rapidly approaching the yes
sci. Then he saw it was causel by
three big whales making directly for the
pilot boat. The whales were travelling
at the rates of twenty knots an hour.
The man at the wheel called to Pilot
Keely, who came in time to see two OF
the big fish, then close to the bows, dive
below the water. The third and biggest
whale did not dive soon enough, and, as
he, too, went down, the sharp bows OF
the vessel struck him on the back, tear
ing a cash two or three yards long Tle
shock to the vessel was so great that
every one asleep on board was awakened
and came tumbling on deck, thinking
the pilot boat was in collision with an
other vessel. But the shock was sue
ceedcl by a second and greater one, for
as the whale went down he struck with
his hukes a terrific blow on the vessels
bows. The shock Of the blow broke
dishes in the pantry and made cups AMI
glasses leap from their racks. A lot OF
blood foam was thrown as higa as the
bowsprit. As the vessel drove on the
injured whale was seen to come up astern
and be motionless on the water, while
the other two whales circled around him
excitedly. Two days later the steamer
Caledonia came along and saw the whale
foatin. dead on the water with a large
cash in his back. The next day the
steamer took Pilot Kcely aboard and
learned of the strange accident -Ner

The Artlnhoke.

Tho name artichoke is from an Arme-
Man word "ardischanki, " or earth thorn.
The Jerusalem artichokc, from "gira.
sole," the Italian name for the sunhowci,
was introduced into Europe from Brazil
in 1920. The artichoke became COM
mon article Of diet in England before
the potatoes could be INDUCED in by the
masses oil The people. 1t was boiled
and baked, picked and male into pies.
Although mvch inferior to the potato in
flavor it was r'ill good substitute.
Since potatoes have become so plenti-
full the artichoke has fallen into dislavor,
except as food for stock, though occa-
sionally the tubers are still used for
pickles. 1t is said that the French used
the foliage and stem fibre for making
cordage. The artichoke fiourishcs best
in rich ground, but will grow freely in
poor soil, so waste places may be utilized
by planting it. When once planted it
will live and multiply for years, furnish
ing suitable food for hogs, which de-
light to root up the juicy tubers.
These imitation potatoes are not at all in
iured By the cold of winter, and thus
furnish an carly spring food as soon as
the ground is thawed out sufficiently for
the hogs to dig for them.
The Cynara artichoke an entirely diff
ferent plant from the Jerusalem variety,
sort of thistle, and considered a great
delicacy. The "bottoms," which Is the
part chiefly used, consists OF the minia-
ture receptacle or aoret disc with the
lower part of the surrounding leaf scales.
1t corresponds to the "chcess" in holly
hooks or thistles. In France this deli
cacy is dried and used for soups. The
lower leaves are served in salad.
To grow the Cynara artichoke, plant
in warm, stony soil in hills six feet apart
and cover during winter with earth and
litter. The globe Cynara is considered
the best variety.
The Jerusalem artichoke is best propa-
gated by slips or suckers in the spring,
planted in rows four feet apart, the
plants two feet apart in the row.-Sk

FASHION NOTES.

The newest parasols are made OF shot
cauze with Chantilly houncings.
Tulle, though out of fashion for
dresses, is very much used in millinery.
Chcviot and camels hair are the
favorite materials for travelling dresses.
Some bonnets are merely composed OF
the triple classic band trimmed with
flowers.
A material much employed is chiffon
or mousselinc de sole or tulle, with gold
metal ribbon edge.
White channels skin gloves, with long,
white gauntlets, are quite the fashionable
thing for young women.
Sailor hats, very dainty and chic, are
shown, made of Shirred Point d'Esprit
nets in black, white, gray AMI tan
color.
Bonnets, even black ones, are now tied
with white satin strings, made not of
ribbon. but of satin twill cut on the
cross and measuring just an inch and a
half wide.
Sleeves are smaller for day wear, but
remain as high and full as ever for even
ing. Puffs of lace, gauze or tulle, either
ictted, spanglei or embroidered, being
the most fashionable.
The new bonnets which are made up
and trimmed show great many novel
ties; the flowers stand erect over the face
in many instances, and bows in nearly
every case are arranged with outstanding
loops.
Pretty frocks for small girls and boys
are Of washable abrics-Sc0tch ging-
hams in fine checks or stripes, Chambrays
OF plaln color, c0rded dimlty, nainsooN
and ribbed pique. They are trimmed
with white cambria rufllcs neatly en-
broidered, insertions, shocking, tucks
and needle worked scallops done on the
garment.
Young girls wear narrow ribbon or
velvet much in their hair, at present,
passing it generally around the cluster OF
rolls or curls and tying it on the top of
the head in pert little bow; or bring it
from the sides high up above the ears
and place rosette attached to one end
at the size. Metal bands are sometime
TO be seen with the fancy silks.

New Use of the Dollar.

Manufacturing jewellers have lately
put the silver dollar to use in two novel
designs, says the s.. Loai, Gloje- Dsm0-
cr0t.
One is as the bowl OF souvenir spoon.
The circular shape is retained, and the
coin is placed under heavy die that
pushes the centre down until the whole
affair is shaped into a shallow bowl that
will hold nearly teaspoonfnl. 1t IS
then fastened to a straight silver handle,
at the top of which is an inch-high
statuette of "Liberty Enlightcning tho
World" This is Gale the "Ncw York
spoon, the fitness OF it lying, l suppose,
in the theory that New York is always
chasing the mighty dollar.
don't think the spoon was designed
in New York, however. The other novel
use of the silver dollar is as picture.
holder. Here is dollar that is like
any other dollar, oaly that it is much
lighter.
By pressing the thumb nail upon the
letter "E" in the word limited" the
whole face of the coin is made to fly
open, and a hollow interior IS revealed
within a small Photograph, lock of hair,
or anythingof that sort can be concealed.
So fine is the workmanship and so
skilfully IS the spring concealed that no
one, even if he knew that the cola was
hollow, could open it unless told how.
Pressing on the letter will not open the
coin; the letter must be set hairs
breadth to one side.

POULTRY POINTS.

Az objection made by many women to
the poultry business is their dislike to
selling their gentle pets alive. Whether
the market be local or distant, more or
less suffering is imposed on fowls, from
fright, bruises, hunger, thirst, contine-
ment in crowded quarters, and often
filthy surroundings. Certainly these are
not the most healthful or appetizing con-
ditions to precede the dainty broil or
roast; does not ''lnan's inhumanity to
man" deserve attention on this pointI
AGAIN the demand for the laborious dry
picking is Encouragement in the busy
farm home to sending out dressed poul-
try. The least labor that will produce
best result is Of prime Importance. Scaid-
inc TO remove the feathers is much more
easily and quickly done than dry picking
II is clcaner-for all fowls arc more OF
less infested with parasites. If carefully
done there need be little or no discolora'
ton of skin. Neither flavor nor keeping
qualities seem to be affected by the scald-
ing. The principal claim made for dry
picking is tia. the birds look better, and
as COOL looks are not to be despised, let
bright women put their minds to the
matter and learn how to make their
scalded birds look as we'll as dry picked,
and thereby confer benefit on producer,
consumer and consumed.-Neo York

A Sea Monster.

A queer marine monster was captured
by p. Johnson, Hope Creek gill fisher
man, the other day. None of the old
experienced fishermen, who have cast
their nets 10 all waters, from Maine to
Florida, had ever seen anything like it
or were able to name it. The animal
was about five feet long. aud in shape
somewhat resembled toad fish, Two
rows OF teeth adorned its ponderous jaws,
which, when fully ajar, would admit an
ordinary bucket. Two dart. shaped horns
were on its head. About midway be-
tween its head and tail were two pockets,
or pouches, that could be opened or closed
at will, and situated between these
pouches and the monsters mouth were
two arms, not unlike the forearm aud
hand of a man, arranged to pass the food
from the pouches to the mouth. The
pockets were we'll stocked with "moss
bunkers" and other small fish when it
was captured. No one has been found
who can tell to what genus this aquatic
curiosity belongs. Philadelphia Press.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rub your lamp chlmneys after wash
ing with dry salt and you will be sur
prised at the new brilliancy of your
lights.
Turpentine and black varnish is the
backing used by hardware dealers for
protecting stoves from rust. If put on
properly it will last through the season.
Two apples kept in the cake box will
cause moderately rich cake to remain
moist for a great length of time, if the
apples are renewed when withered.
1t is said that to drink sweet milk after
eating onions will purify the breath so
that no odor will remain. A cupful Of
strong coffee is also recommended.
Dipping fish in scalding water will
cause the scales to come off very easily,
but if the fish are to be sailed down they
must on no account be scalded. You
may pour over them vinegar with the
same result. Salt fish will soak fresh
much quicker in sour milk than in
water.
Papier machc for filing cracks in
floors can be prepared by heating to a
paste cuttings of white or brown paper
boiled in water and then mixing the
paste with solution of gum arabic.
Make the solution hot in which you mix
the paper paste and apply directly, thus
making it adhere more firmly.
