WE DON'T HANKER FOR THEM

There are few persons doing a So
called business in the city whose ad-

not banker for business at starvation

that the collector has to wear out a
pair of shoes every month chasing af-
ter them. Advertising in a newspa-

Mother of Pearl.

Pictures inlaid with mother Of pearl
are in great favor this season. First
the picture is painted, only it is not all
painted, for speckled over it are vari-
ously shaped bits of unpainted canvas.
These spaces are left for the insertion
of splinters of mother of pearl cut to
fit. The result is an opalescent, rides
cent effect that is altogether lovely.
''The Maid of the Mist" jauntily riding
the seething caldron of Niagara, is arm
orclad in rainbow co1ors, as though
plated with the sunlit spray that dashes
over it. The Washington monument,
tall and stately, no longer is ghastly
white, but CLEANS with warmer hues
caught from sky and earth and sea.
There is fresh fancy for inlaid furni-
ture, and tabourettes from Turkey
come with a veneer of dark wood in
laid with mother of pearl of the most
beautiful tnts. Chairs of similar finish
are offered in quaint designs. A folding
camp chair from Damascus is in light
brown wood SO like sandalwood that

FIRST Forefathers, Dav.

In "Recollections of the Pilgrims
there is an account of the first celebra-
ton of Forefathers' Day, or "Old Col
ony Day. as it was then termed, on
Dee. %, 1863. The celebration was un-
der the auspices of the Old Colony
Club, society formed by the leading
men of Plymouth for the purpose of
promoting social converse and pleasure
without mixing with the promiscuous
gatherings at the taverns.
On the morning of the said day, after
discharging cannon, was hoisted up
on the hall an elegant silk flag, with
the following inscription, "Old Colony,
1920" At IL o'clock a. M, the men,
bers of the club appeared at the hall,
and from thence proceeded to the house
of Mr.. Howland, innholder, which is
erected upon the spot where the first
licensed house in the Old Colony for
merly stood; at half-past 2 decent re-
past was served, which consisted of the
following dishes, viz:
1, large baked Indian whortleberry
pudding; 2, dish of sauquetach( sue
catash, corn and beans boiled together);
3, a dish of clans; 4, dish of oysters
and a dish of Goldfish; 5, haunch of
venison, roasted by the first jack
brought to the colony; 6, dish of sea-
fowl; Z, a dish of frost fish and eels;
8, an apple pie; 9, course of cram
berry tarts, and cheese made in the
Old Colony.
These articles were dressed in the
plainest manner ('an appearance Of
luxury and extravaganza being avoid
ed, in imitation of our ancestors, whose
memory we shall ever respect'D.
At 4 o'clock p. m. the members of the
club, headed by the steward, carrying
folio volume of the laws of the Old
Colony, hand in hand marched in pro-
cession to the hall. Upon the appear
ance of the procession in front of the
hall number of descendants from the
first settlers in the Old Colony drew up
in regular file and discharged a volley
of small arms, succeeded by three
cheers, which were returned by the
club, and the gentlemen generously
treated.
Singing, speech-making, cannon-fr-
ing and cheering closed the days exer-

FertiIize the Orchard.

The apple trees have borne an i'm
mense crop of fruit the last season. It
takes not only vitality in the trees
themselves, but also fertility in the soil,
to bring forth and ripen off such bur-
den of fruit. AS result, the trees are
in a measure weakened, and the soil
Is exhausted of it's material out of
which the growth of the year has been
sustained just in proportion to the
years effort of the trees. If, therefore.
the thrift of the trees and their power
of fruitage are to be kept up, they call
for special and unusual attention in the
way Of manuring and of culture, to
make good or replace the draft that has
been made upon them.
The trees, therefore, should be fertil-
lied. Barn manure is always good for
this purpose, and always will give in it's
testimony, applied In any way that
leaves it in the vicinity of the trees. 1t
never fails to assert itself. Applied as
top-dressing, it, of course, must divide
its effects with the grass, the growth of
which it so vigorously sustains; hence
its full value. when so used, is not real
lied in fruit production. The quantity
needed, therefore, under this practice,
Is greater than would be necessary if
the tree and its fruit got its full bene-

Growing Hea1thfu1 Pork,


A meat diet is not necessarily inju-
animal that produces it has been fed
wrongly, or has been subjected to un-
sanitary conditions. The meat most
widely used in this country is pork
This is the kind of meat more likely
than any other to be unhealthful. The
old-fashioned swil1 barrel, in which
milk, grease and refuse of all kinds are
deposited, often goes for weeks with
out the thorough cleaning which such
a receptacle should have every twenty
four hours. 1t is better to feed the
skim-milk by itself, and throw most of
the dish washings which are dosed
heavily with salt on the manure heap,
where it will do more good than in the
pigs stomach. But the worst injury
to the pig and the one that causes the
worst injury to pork, is due to over
feeding with corn. We have often seen
hogs fattened until their eyes were
closed with fat and the animal could
hardly be made to cat more than
enough to sustain life. The body was
kept in feverish condition for days and
even weeks, and the animal was only
butehered, when, if the experiment
had continued little longer, it's excess
of fat would have killed it. There is,
we are glad to say, little demand for
such pork now. But pig pork fed with
milk and wheat middlings, making
pork with large proportions of lean
meat, is both palatable and healthy

Farm Notes.

A good wagonload of cinders dumped
at the end of a bridge will prevent the
wheels from cutting deep holes into the
grade.
A large share of the food in the corn
stalk is in that portion most easily de-
stroyed by exposure in the fields. In
some sections the top is removed from
the stalk while it is growing by stop
ping" and stored in the barn.
When an animal does not thrive it is
not always necessary to resort to medi-
cines. 1t may happen that salt is need
ed, or that linseed meal will prove
remedy. The cause should be first con-
sidered before attempting cure for an
ailment.
Some men shelter their stock in sheds
sided up with barb wire and rooted
setting posts in the ground and siding
up with cheap lumber, roofing with
slough grass or boards and battening
the cracks warm shed may be con-
structed at small cost.
1t is estimated that when a hog is
kept until it attains the weight of 200
pounds it should produce two two-horse
loads of manure from the time it was
eight weeks old. The estimate of ma
nure is perhaps too high, but if hog
produces one-half that quantity of
manure of excellent quality it will be
quite an item in the receipts.
Soiling gives good results and saves
the land for crops. In tests made with
cows soiled on peas and green clover
at the barnyard, and with others that
| were kept on a good pasture, the cows
on the soiling food made more gain in
live weight than the others, and were
less annoyed by flies, exceeding the
pasture-fed cows also in the production
of milk.
Those who have not made such ex-
periments will no doubt be surprised to
know that small plot, about so by 100
feet, will provide family with as
many as 500 quarts of strawberries.
and with extra care and cultivation
even twice that quantity. There are
many plots near cities or towns which
can be utilized for providing small
fruits or vegetables in fresh condition
for use.
A Canadian farmer reports that he
experimental and found that salt is a
complete remedy for wire worms. On
a patch of spring grain he plowed up
and resolved all but one acre, which he
left for trial. He sowed 800 pounds of
salt on this acre and forty-eight hours
afterwards he sowed 300 pounds more.
The result was the wire worms COM
pletely disappeared, and the grain look

THE uNRRokEN HEART.

Hs was sitting at the window, and his

downward rolled the train

And l knew that he was crying with his
little might and main
For the kiss l hadn't time to press
against the window glass.
I could see him with his "choo-choos'
quite disowned upon the floor,
And his wooden blocks, forgotten-and
my parent heart grew sore,
And thought: "Dear God-what-what
If I should never see him more
At the window when started for the

He was sitting at the window, and his
cry a little moan,
As my mental vision saw him all thai
long and wretched day,
And my foolish, fearful fancy knew him
dying there alone,
With his kiss that still was waiting fol
his papa, far away.
He was dying of the grieving-of the
awful, awful ache
OF his little baby heart that love had only
filed to break,
And pushed the papers from me and de
clared that would take
The returning train and hurry from the

Bat,le of New Orleans.

When the news reached Europe of
the battle at Chalmette, commonly
known as the battle of New Orleans,
and of the terribly disastrous results
to the English army, the account at
first was not credited. That trained
force from the picked regiments OF
the British army, schooled in war, with
commanders of the distinction that
Pakenham and Keene enjoyed, should
meet with such a defeat at the hands
Of militia general" was hardly to
be believed under any circumstances;
but that out of force of 5000 strong
there should be a loss of 2,117 killed
and wounded on the Brush side, while
the Americans had only killed and Z
wounded, was held to be impossible.
The Duke of Wellington was particu-
larly savage in his denunciation of the
yankee lie," as he termed the first
vague reports that reached him of the
terrible and unexpected defeat. When,
however, the facts touching the result
of the fight were substantiated. Europe
was amazed.-Century.

CRIMINAL OCCUPATIONS DULL

They Reflect the Prevailing Depres-
sion in Other Lines of Trade.
"You wouldn't think that business
depression and hard times would ex-
tend to the commission of crime, would
you? remarked an attache of the po-
lice court the other day. cat least nine
people out of ten who thought any,
thing about it would come to the coll
clusion that the crime industry ought
to be brisk when money is hard to get
hold of. 1t might be expected that peo-
pie would steal bread when they could
not buy it, get drunk at every available
opportunity to drown their troubles
and fight at the slightest provocation
for lack of something better to do.
Migrants and tramps committing petty
depredations, it would seem, ought to
be plentiful, and the hum of industry
in the police court ought at least to be
audible in hard times.
"But, strange as it may seem the op-
posite Is true, and business in crime is
downright dull, though we are still
running on full time, and expect to
do so no matter who is elected. The
reason for it is just this. The criminals
are all in Jail or in the workhouse, and
there they will have to stay until their
sentences are served out. When times
were good they had friends who paid
their fines and secured their release, so
they could start right in and commit
more petty offenses, and so get jugged
again. Times were, therefore, good in
the police court. But now the endless
chain stops awhile at the Jail and work
house, and business i~ dull. It's just
like taking few cars off cable line
and laying them up in the sheds for an
hour or two. Passengers have to wait
longer for one to come along. You see
we have regular customers in our busi-
ness, and the market is not SO large as
might be supposed. d."-Washfngton Post.

aAll efrort for the canture of the

Gall effort for the capture of the
round house was instantly abandoned
and the Sioux as one man turned and
ran after the locomotive. The captain
in, command of the scouts, taking adj
vantage of the confusion of his foe, and
of the fact that his force was in the
dark building. while the Sioux were out
upon the whitened earth, quickly mass
ed his men at the open door and began
to pour a murderously wicked fire into
the baffied Sioux, who, like foolish
farm dogs, were chasing the 40 out over
the switches.
"All the Indians who were crippled
by the engine were promptly, and l
thought very properly, killed by the
Pawnee scouts and the rest were driven
away with fearful loss.
"It was desperately risky run from
Smoky Hill to Lawrence, with no run
ming orders and due to collide with a
westbound special, or an extra that
might be going out to the rescue with
train load of material, but the officials
fearing that something might arise
which would cause us to want to come
in, had very wisely abandoned all trains
the moment the wires went down, and
so we reached Lawrence just before
day without mishap.
my first thought was of our captive,
Bear Foot, who had made track laying
dangerous business for our people for
the past three or four weeks, but upon
looking about saw only four Pawnees,
and concluded that the fierce fellows
had killed the chief and rolled him off.
"'Where's Bear Foot?' demanded.
"'Here,' said a Pawnee, who was
quietly seated upon the manhole of the
engine tank, and he pointed down.
house at Smoky Hill, the Sioux had
made a desperate effort to escape, and
had been quietly dropped into the tank,
where he had remained throughout the
entire run.
"Now, it's one thing to stay in tank
that is half filled with water when the
engine is in her stall, and quite another
thing to inhabit place of that kind
when a locomotive Is making a flying
run over a new track. After much time
and labor had been lost fishing for the
chief with a clinker hook, one Of the
scouts got into the tank, which was
now quite empty, and handed Bear
Foot out.

R-pening Gree m.

A good way is to hold the cream at u
temperature of 60 degrees for twelve
tofourteen hours after the first taste of
acid is apparent, and then judgment.
formed from experience, will do the
rest. The method for warming the
cream for ripening is all right, but il
will be necessary to keep the tempera-
ture of the room at about the tempera-
ture it is desired to keep the cream.
For starter some ripened cream or
buttermilk from the previous churning
is often used to "start" the ripening.
A better starter is made by taking some
skim milk from healthy, fresh milk
ing COW, warm 1t up to 85 or 30 degrees,
and hold Ii at that temperature till it
becomes thick. Put into the cream
from 8 to 5 per cent. of this starter.
and If the cream is held at 60 to 65
degrees for twelve to fourteen hours,
It will be found sufficiently ripened.-

A "Cry of the Heart"

1t was formerly the custom for young
men who were making beginning in
literature to treat the living ''old mas
ters" in letters with great veneration,
instead of winning some notoriety by
publicly ridiculing them. When, there
fore, they had an opportunity to ex-
press some honest criticism of mas
ter's work, the expression had about 1T
a decided piquancy.
1t is related that, in 1929, Chateau
BRAND, then held in very great honor,
his residence at Auteuil to hear him
read his tragedy of Moses" Among
the guests were Alexandra Dumas and
Frederic Soulie, then young men, who
listened respectfully, who even after
they left the house at midnight, and
started back to Paris in cab, did not
venture to express an unfayorable
Judgment, but rode on in silence.
By and by they came to one of the
octroi stations, where all pLrsons who
enter Paris are required to declare" OF
announce any articles that they may
have in their possession which are sub
ject to the municipal import duty. The
agent in charge of the station stopped
the cab in which the two young men
were, thrust his head into the door. and
said:
Have you anything to declare, gen.
tlemen?"
Whereupon Soulie exclaimed with
much emphasis:
81 have to declare, and that most
solemnly, that the Moses of the illus
trious Chateaubriand is a horrible
bore!'
The octroi employe was speechless
and the two young men drove on
greatly relieved in their feelings.

where sleep Is a Disease

natives suffer from fatal malady
known as the sleeping disease. The
person attacked by it is seized with a
sensation of drowsiness, which eontin-
ues to increase in spite of the efforts
made to throw it off. Finally the pa
tient sinks into profound sleep, which
continues until death ensues. The most
curious feature of the disease is that
apart from the drowsiness the patient
seems much as usual.
