Whittier's Birthplacs.

In the town of Haverhili. Mass.
near the Merrimac river, not far
from Salisbury beach and in q
house built by his great-great- grand
father more than two centuries ago,
John Greenleaf Whittier was born
on Dec. II, 1902. For three genera
tions before him the family had been
connected with the Society of
Friends, and all his life long Whit
tier retained the Quaker simplicity
of manner and attire. He began
early to do the chores of the house
hold and also to aid his father in
the work of the farm.
The house was surrounded by
woods, and "a small brook, noisy
enough as it foamed, rippled and
laughed down its rocky falls" by
the garden side and then wound it's
way to larger stream, that, latter
doing it's duty at two or three saw
and grist mills" (the clash of which
would be heard in still days across
the intervening woodlands), ran into
the great river and was borne along
to the great sea. Thus in early boy
hood Whittier had a chance to get
friendly and familiar with brooks
and woods and rocky hills and all
the other features of the New Eng
land landscape. He helped to care
for the oxen and the horses, and he
came to know the wilder animals
which also lived on the farm. Pro

The Fierce Wildcat.

have never heard the cry of the
wildcat except at night, and expe-
rienced hunters tell me it is sell
dom uttered in the daytime. When
hunted with dogs and driven to bay
in narrow thicket from which he
cannot escape without running the
gantlet, the cat seems to know his
danger and sometimes utters shrill
and piercing cries, intensely express
i've of rage, defiance, perhaps of
despair. His ordinary calls are not
unlike those of the domestic cat, ex-
cept that they are longer drawn out
and naturally have much more vol.
ume Yet so seldom are these cries
heard that the wildcat may almost
be called silent member of natures
family.
AS fighter this cat has no supe-
rior, and with the exception of the
larger members of the weasel tribe,
such as the badger and the wolver-
enc, he has no equal at twice his size.
The feline race is endowed by ma
ture with weapons superior to those
of all other carnivora-those terri.
BILE claws provided with sheaths and
thus kept sharp when not in use.
Our wildcat, though no larger than
a beagle hound, probably possesses
twice the muscular force and agility
of any dog and can, in fair battle,
soon make the pluckiest and stron.
gest hound draw off whipped. Two
powerful dogs may kill a wildcat,
but never without sustaining severe
injuries. Yet, under ordinary cir
cumstances and if not disturbed
while feeding, the cat will take to a
tree when chased by dog and will
show fight only when brought to
bay.-Philadelphia Times.

RURAL GEORGIA JOYS
The Old Time Log Rollings and Corn
Shuckings Are Things of the Past.

The Old Time Log Rollings and Corn
shuckings Are Things of the Past.
"The old time corn stockings and
log rollings havo played out in the
land of the south, remarked
Georgia farmer from Ebert county,
the conversation turning to farm life
and its joys. Yes, one rarely ever
sees the genuine old time Georgia
corn shocking these days. You see,
for a mum Der of years the farmers of
this section of country did not grow
enough corn to have a respectable
corn shocking, and as for log rollings
the farmers have not been in the
humor of late years to clear up much
new ground land, and for this reason
there has been no occasion for much
log rolling"
A listener wanted to know what
was a log rolling anyhow.
"Why, have you never heard of
the log rolings we used to have in
this country?" asked the farmer.
"Then you've missed half your life.
It was the greatest fun the darkies
on the farms had for years and
years. The farmer who had cleared
a new ground, when the trees had
all been cut down and the brush
clipped off and burned, wanted to
get all the logs off the field before he
could cultivate it. Therefore he
would give what is called log roll
ing, to which he would invite all the
darkies and laborers on the neigh
boring farms on some suitable day.
There was no compensation in it,
for it was picnic, though you would
never think it, for it was the hard
est sort of work. The darkies all
would come in high glee, knowing
that great jug of whisky would be
dished out to them, and that big
dinner would be given by the land
lord who gave the log rolling. What
is meant by rolling logs is putting
handstick under them, with a darby
at each end of the stick, and lifting
the logs from the ground and then
conveying them to a pile here and
there about the new ground, where
they would be burned later. y
1.-The fun came in with the rivalry
among the darkies to see who was
the champion litter of the day. They
would have great straps of leather
that went over their shoulders in a
loop, and through this loop they
would stick their handsticks, some
times enabling them to lift with their
hands and their whole bodies at the
same time, throwing their strength
against their opponent, who had hold
of the other end of the handstiok un-
der the log. This strap OF leather
for some reason was called an Ala
bama. 1t was great fun to see them
straining their very lives away un-
der the great. heavy logs here and
there about the aeld. When night
came on, the frolic wound up with a
great dance and hot supper, as they
called it, IN the landlords kitchen. "

Kitchens In the Tropics.

The kitchens of tropical countries,
such as are to be found in our Span
ish-American lands, are like cells
from the thickness of the stone walls
often two or three feet doep-auG
the projecting, omnipresent veran-
da, which gives grateful shade and
which looks out on a court. The cell
resem blance is enhanced by the iron
bars at the windows and the heavy
double doors, which look as if they
could resist a siege. The walls are
whitewashed, and the floors are of
tiles. The dining room is often sepa-
rated from this room by a long stair
case. Outside the kitchen in the
court will stand table and closets to
the scant furniture of
the small, hot apartment with fur
nacelike fire.
