When and Why Thirteen Ia Twelve


Every body knows that % is called "a
bakers Dozen" but how came the
phrase into existence? Well, it seems
that ONCE upon n time the baker used to
give for nothing to the retail dealer
who sold the bread thirteenth loaf
with every 2 loaves that Were ordered.
How this custom grew up il is .,ard to
tell, except it was TO help the shcpkeep-
er TO earn his living trific enser and
to encourage him to take more bread.
One explanation has it that the custom
dates from the time when heavy penal
ties were inflicted for short weight and
that the thirteenth loaf was thrown in
to make sure tho weight was right, but
this is perhaps doubtful, for there is a
like custom i'll the publishing trade, in
which the bookseller usually gets an
extra copy without charge for every IL
books he buys from the publisher. In
short, we might just as we'll talk of IS
being publishers dozen" rs "a ba-

q Fable of summer rime.

A brown and golden bee was buzzing
merrily amid bed of rcd and white
and blue hyacinths. getting honey from
each blossom and as happy as the day
was long.
Dear mel I wish you would leave
me alone, )" said beautiful white dou-
BILE hyacinth pettishly, for she was
drowsy and only just awaking. "You
make such o humming and you tickle
mo So
sit is high time you were awake and
opened your blossoms wider,' laughed
the bee, land then could get your
honey out bctter''
But" said the hyacinth, opening
her flowers quite wide, of which the
bee immediately took advantage, what
right have you to come and steal my
honey when l am hardly awake and as
bright dewdrops are sparkling upon
me? 1t is extremely rude to disturb a
lady like this. And of what use is my
honey to your"
II didn't mean to disturb you" said
the bee gently. "You see, get up so
carly myself. Your honey is of great
use to me, and to men and women too.
You were not sent into the world to
keep all your gifts to yourself.
Hem" said the hyacinth. "I don't
know. Plenty of men and women do :"
Yes, l know that said the bee.
Dogs i'll the manger' are not scarce,
but they won't make others happy,
and they cannot be happy themselves
If we have good gifts bestowed OIL us,
1T is that we may share them with 9th
ers and not keep them all to ourselves. )"

The Kneipp Cure.

received letter at Burlington last
week from Henry +. Charles, presi.
dent of the American kneipp cure
and G. w. Hazen, vice-president OF
the Middletown Springs Hotel COM
pany, regarding the uniting of the
two companies. II is proposed by
joining their organizations to develop
at Middletown Springs one of the
greatest health resorts in the world,
in fact a second Carlsbad. The letter
stated that both these gentlemen
would come TO Burlington to look up
the matter of charter.
The kneipp cure, il will be remem-
bered, is the one which caused so
much comment last summer from the
peculiar method of treatment, which
consists chiefly of cold water.

molasses and minus the cream, and
with il some very delicious "hardtack"
that they sent TO Boston and got for
the occasion.
