Cncnmbers as Food .

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do so under pro-
test and with apprehensions of possibly
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, un-
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible ta-
bic friends. 1t is not the cucumber,
however, but the salmon that sits so
heavy upon our stomach's throne Gu
cumber, in fact, is very digestible when
eaten properly. 1t cannot, indeed, be
otherwise when il is remembered that it
consists mainly of water. and that those
parts which are not water are almost ex-
clusively cells Of a very rapid growth
In eating cucumber it is well to cut it
into thin slices and to masticate them
thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are so often added to it are
of service to digestion if not taken in ex-
cess. The cucumber, as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe; but
in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is frmer and looks less di-
gestible than its congener, the melon. ~

HOW a Hntter aTnde Money.

It is said that a Partisan halter is get
ting rich as result of the French craze
for everything Russian The story goes
that some months ago he invested largely
in low crowned hats of style affected by
a certain class of English turfmen They
were hideous, and nobody would buy
them. Then came the visit of Admiral
GerSais to Russia, with all its consequent
enthusiasm, and the shrewd tradesman
put some of his dead stock in the window
with the simple label, "Cronstadt" The
trick succeeded to admiration. All the,
scorned hats were sold in a few hours, be-
cause they were supposed to resent BILE the
headgear of the Moujik, and now the fac
tories can scarcely supply enough of them
to meet the demand.

The cloth Of gold is woven slight
OF deeds that speak in Wrongs despite,
OF Love that sheds DER lives below
The perfect joy the angels know

In city streets in blacklist night,
In country ways with sunshine bright,
Love weaves alike on friend and foe

To cover sears, to save from blight,
And DER the low'ring brow of woe
To shed a soothing, healing glow.

came convinced, he said, while still a stu
dent in the Episcopal seminary, that il
Christianity was true there must be ono
indivisible and continuing body. He next
decided on historic grounds that no Prot
estant church was such. He sacrificed
bright prospects to become Catholic, and
was for time frowned upon by his own
family yet he later converted his three
brothers.
Like many studious men who change
their faith at mature age, he became more
ardent and sharper controversialist in
behalf Of his new faith than most Of those
born in it. His principal works are God
and Reason" IA defense Of natural religion:
Reason ana Revelation setting forth
the catholic view Of the value of natures
light as a basis of revelation; 1.-THE Vicar
Of Christ" a history of the Protestant re-
formation, and some minor productions.
He became also a master of canon law, and
was called to testify as an expert in the
famous case involving DR.. McGlynn's po-
stion. One John Mcclure died suddenly
while attending a McGlynn meeting and
the church refused him burial in conse-
Grated ground, though his family owned a
lot in Calvary cemetery. Suit was brought,
and on the testimony Of Mgr Preston it
was decided that the followers of McGlynm
were under accommodation
Mgr. Preston was born July 90, 1924, iu
Hartford, where his father was vice presi-
dent of the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance company. The son was graduated
from Trinity college Hartford, in lS43, en-
tered the Episcopal ministry in 1876, and in
1919 the Catholic church.

defeAd the keeping of dogs" but as Man
ltowoc Is usually sheater of dog troubles
after giving few facts we shall await de-
velopments from there. Has not the dog
always been the faithful companion and
friend Of man? Does he not guard the
houses by night? Is not the attachment
of the dog to It's master proverbial? The
dog IS useful IN either city or country.
Some farmers try the experiment of sub
shutting dogs for fences and with some
success. We do not know whether this
last experiment is modern in origin or a.
return to primitive man; but we believe
that the success attending it will vary
with the number and intelligence of the
dogs, and their ability for field service.
We are not aware that this theory of
fencing strange as it may SEEM was ever
| advocated at any farmers institute. nor

yocates are notably those who do not at.
