Porto Rico and the United States,
and the Porto Rican Assembly has

That's right! Howl and cues
the trusts-and the moment you
get $40 ahead, send an order to
Montgomery Ward & Co, or Sears,
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, and thus
help support two of the biggest
trusts in tho country. What if
you do get your goods a little cheap
er-that is what the trusts claim to
do for you. They crush out com
petition by their low prices, and if
you take the benefit you simply
sustain them in their contention.
Every dollar sent to II mail order
house is just that much toward
building up trust. Montgomery
Ward is not philantrophist in
any sense of the word. He is Il
shrewd business man who by ju-
dioious advertising has built up
trust that bids fair TO wreck the
majority of small towns. If you
desire this send him your cush,
and when you are broke, ask cred
it of your home merchant and de-
nOunCe the trusts.

PRIMITIVE COOKING.
Crude Utensils Used by the Ancients
in the Preparation of
Their Food

Prof S. Troianovio. of Belgrade.
has for several months been making
an investigation with the object of
ascertaining the exact manner in
which food was cooked in Europe in
primitive times, and he has now ar
rived at the conclusion that the gem
eral practive was to place the food
in pot and to warm it by means
of red hot stones, reports a London
paper.
Such pot was usually made of the
bark of tree, and two or three
sticks ran across it for the purpose
of holding the stones in proper posi-
tion. When meal was ~ be pre-
pared the pot was partially filed
with meat and water, and then in the
vacant places were put the red-hot
stones. The food was quickly warmed
in this way, and it was eaten before
it grew cold
II various parts of Servia primitive
pots of this kind are still used. In
other parts of Europe, notably in
Macedonia, pots formed of the bark
OF trees are also used, but the food in
them, instead of being warmed by
means of hot stones, is thoroughly
cooked by a fire which is lighted
over them.
Prof. Trojanovio has made n collec-
tion of these pots, and he regards
them as of peculiar interest and
value, since he is confident that in
old days about every nation in Europe
cooked its food in utensils of this
kind, though he thinks it quite prob
able that different method of heat
ing the food. prevailed in each coun-

Prophets.

Such should be the title of these
lines, for whoever observes these in
teresting insects finds it easy enough
TO foretell exactly the kind of weather
TO be expected. At least that is the
opinion of many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling
all at once. a few go out at first,
as though the queen had sent out mes
sengers TO study the state of the at
mosphere. The greater number re-
main on observation until the clouds
begin to diSsipate, and it is only then
that the battalions entire rush out in
search of their nectar. 4 bee never
goes ont in a fog, because il is well
aware that dampness and cold are two
tearsome, redoubtable enemies. We
do not mean, however, that the bee is
a meteorologist in the absolute sense
of the word. Its cleverness consists
in never being taken unawares. for IL
possesses untiring vigilance. Often
Cae may observe the sudden entrance
OF bees into The hive when a dense
cloud hides the sun, and even though
the rain is not in evidence.
