"Mayor Robert j. Black has

as he says in his letter: 81 have

days or you'll have trouble.n
The letter was posted in My

on November Goth, 1901. No
such person as Sherbler is known
in Myersville. The name is prob
ably an assumed one and intended

Nuts as Food.

Nuts contain a large amount Of nour-
ishment, and owing to their oily nature
digest easily. Eaten with salt they are
palatable. Either as dessert course
or sailed and used as a relish their
value is the same. They are not ex-
pensive, for from the peanut through
the imported varieties they can be
bought in bulk at small cost.
The peanut has many good qualities
to recommend 1t, and from Its low estate
Is coming to the front as an important
item in dietetics. 1t is supposed TO cure
insomnia If eaten just before retiring.
Sailed, they are much cheaper than al
monds. The small hickory nut at a
few cents quart. can be used on the
most economical table. The English
walnut makes very good salad
blanched and used with celery. Fill
berts, almonds and Brazil nuts are
more expensive, but as only few are
needed at time the cost Is not great

about fifteen camps and cottages which
accommodates sports from nearly every

You are skeptical abCst the accuracy
of this statement and ask why water
does not leak from bottle If there are
holes In everything? The answer Is
simple enough-the drops or globules
Of water are bigger than the holes.
Taking glass as an illustration, we find
that air is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
A scientist proposes the following as
an experiment: Place bell In bottle
exhausted of air and Theoretically
sealed. The bell will not ring because
the medium for conveying sound Is not
there.
Set the bottle aside for few months,
then try the bell again, and 1t will ring,
family, perhaps, but nevertheless there
will be sound. That means that the
air has got In. 1t has made Its way
through the holes In the glass.
The incandescent lamp Is a bulb of
glass exhausted of air so that the slen-
der filament may glow when the cleo
tricity runs along it. The air works
it's way in gradually and the light be-
comes less brilliant in proportion.

not from Lake George as stated in the

Next Years Fodder Crop.

Rye sown this month or early next
month may prove valuable crop for early
pasture or soiling next spring. While it
is not among the most nutritious of forage
crops its eariness is an important item,

early spring, cutting OF succulent rye
with grain enough to make up for its lack
