some grain, mostly corn, which grows
on the mountains, but the greater part
Of their subsistence is the grass which
grows luxuriously on the mountain
sides. There are no fences, and IL
the cows are picketed, as with us in
Kansas, it is not to keep them from
wandering away, but to protect them
from the possibility of tumbling down
the hill, which is actually so steep as
to make it quite reasonable pre-
caution.
Milking is all done by natives who
do not exhibit very much develop
ment in the art. A DeLaval separa-
tor is used for skimming, and so far
as of the stable, is concerned, it is
up to date, well arranged and n great
credit to its owners (whom I failed to
meet, much to my regret). All the
product from this dairy Is carried to
the railway station and nearby towns

on that sum, their needs being ex-

birth. She is, indeed, identical with
the Miss Maggie Okey whom piano
forte amateurs admired at the Convent
Garden promenade concerts in 1882.
At that time she was a pupil at the
London Academy of Music and was
considered so good a pianist that she
was taken on tour in Austria and Ger
many. Maitre Labori first met his
wife when he was staying at large
west end boarding house kept by her
mother Vladimir de Pachmann. the
well known pianist, was also residing
there, and he and Labori both became
suitors for the hand of Miss Okey.
She chose Pachmann, but the marriage
was an unhappy one, and after a few
years the lady obtained freedom in the
divorce court.

Furthermore, terrier fight is not bru-
tai. No boy will hurt himself while
engaged in this sport. AS shown in
the illustration, two boys are placed
facing each other in the center of q
room; hands clasped beneath the knees
and stick just under the elbows, as
shown. Each contestant endeavors to
push the other over; but as it requires
considerable attention to keep your
balance at all when in this position,
the attack is no easy matter.
To suddenly give way is a maneu-
yer almost sure to upset your adver-
sary, but unfortunately it is very apt
to upset you at the same time, and
only after considerable practice will
you be able to overcome a man in this
way. The pivot. sudden swing to the
right or left, is safer, though not quite
as effective. Always remember that the
best terrier fighter invariably makes
his opponent throw himself. Give way
at some unexpected point, and unless
he Is a skilful man he is sure to go
over. Never try hard push except in
the last extremity when everything
else has failed.
A terrier fight consists of three one
minute rounds, with thirty seconds
rest between each round. The one scor-
ing the largest number of falls dur
ing the time set is accounted the win
ner.

time, asked that the horse be hooked
up. Stepping into the carriage he drove
a couple of miles, and then asked the
groom to please station along the road
such objects as the horse was afraid
of. This was done, and the horse was
driven by them quickly, back and
forth, with loose lines slapping on his
back. The whole secret was in voice
that inspired confidence. The man had
been frightened at everything he saw

old and Modern" in Norway.

Many of the farms about Nystuen,
Norway, have been cultivated for a
thousand years. The buildings on some
of them are 700 and 800 years old. Any
thing built within a century or two Is
considered modern. At Borgund, a few
miles west of Nystuen, is a church
that was built in 1150 or earlier. The
antiquarians cannot determine the ex-
act date, and 1t is mentioned in the Of
fetal records of the diocese as far back
as 1860. They are carefully preserved
for all the intervening years. The use
of window glass was unknown in Nor
way at the time of its erection, and the
service probably consisted solely of
the mass, chanted by candle light,
while the congregation knelt devout-
ly in the dark nave. Beside the en-
trance are two runic inscriptions,
carved in the logs in beautiful letter
ing. One of them reads: "Thorer wrote
these lines on st. Olaf's Fair" and the
other, This church stands upon holy
ground"

A Tarrier EIcht.

Roughhouse is the expression used
by the boy of today when he is de-
scribing a general scuffie. and he al
ways smacks his lips over the word,
says the American Boy. But rough
house has its disadvantages, as many
sprains and bruises can testify, and
if the same amount of fun may be had
from some less trying amusement, an
amusement, say, which is quite as en-
ergetic and quite as exciting, the boy
of today will certainly adopt it in pref
erence TO rough-house.
A terrier fight is exciting, and it is
funny-it is also energetic-and victory
depends quite as much upon the skill
of the fighter as upon his strength.

ARTISTS SUMMER HOME.
On Top of an Oak Tree This Man
Lives.

One could scarcely conceive a more
unique plan for enjoying these in
tensely hot days than that adopted by
artist ID. Orrin Steinberger. whose
home is few miles north of Spring
field, Ohio. Perched in a house fifty
feet from the ground, in a majestic
oak, secluded from the worlI, except
ing the lowing COWS in the field. a
man whose pictures have demanded
the attention of the nation spends most
of his time. 1t is an ideal spot for his
house in the tree. The entrance to the
nest is through long lane of willows.
The tree-top house is made of boards
with saplings bound across the side for
support and protection. There is an
elevated step on the west side, where
Artist Steinherger sits and paints and
sketches at will. While thick foliage
of the overhanging boughs form pro-
lection from the rain, yet the rays of
the sun penetrate even to a certain ex-
tent, and to keep this out a canvas has
been stretched on the east side. There
is room on the floor of the nest for
dozen people. To reach the house a
block and tackle is used for the more
timid, who are seated in swing and
pulled up through trap door. The trip
up affects the nerves of some, espe-
cially the ladies. Artist Steinberger
does not use this means of going to
his nest. He mounts a ladder made of
two small saplings and goes up the
tree from limb to limb a rapidly as a
squirrel He built this home in the tree
for the purpose of regaining his health,
going back to first principles He
drinks warm milk direct from the cow
and breathes the pure air of the coun-
try. Since living here, his health has
gradually returned, and he is now al
most well.

IN the Old Time Christmas Table.

The ham, properly soaked, and boiled
and roasted, always occupied as prom
inent a place on the old Christmas
table as the turkey does on the modern
table.
Christmas pie is distinctively plum
or mince pie. In old times 1t was
made of mutton, highly spiced and
filled with plums as a protection
against the "tallowy' flavor of NUT
ton, which requires all the skill OF the
cook to overcome.
In England the piece de resistance
of the Christmas dinner has always
been the plum pudding, 1t is brought
to the table wreathed with holly and
all ablaze with the blue flames OF
brandy, which is poured round 1T and
is set on fire just before bringing 1t IN.
In Norman and Saxon times an OK
was always roasted whole over the
Yule log at Christmas.
Punch was always a prominent 1eat-
ure of the Christmas dinner and we
had huge china bowl which had been
used by our family on such. occasions
for years. In the bottom of the bowl
was painted a picture, and 1t was one
of our family traditions that We must
drink until the picture could be seen. --

shops hunting for that elusive Christ
mas gift for chin. Whatever you
get don't get neckties. Few women

is what "A man says. The number of
men going about with sheepish look
ing faces and curious looking neckties
after Christmas sends chills up and
down the spine of the Christmas spirit.
At Christmas time Mrs Washington
was accustomed to make large guam
titles of IA drink known as "peach and
honey" for the compounding of which
she was famous. 1t was, however,
nothing more than peach brandy,
sweetened with honey, and depended
for its quality chiefly upon the quality
of the brandy. An old Virginia bev-
erage, it was offered to every guest
who visited the house, no matter how
casually, at Yuletide.

We know exactly what it means, as
we'll as we know the chronic fault-hnder
it designates.
THE RISE OF THE KICKER.
ANY one who cares to trace the rise of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not be
dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely
kickers. They are everlasting fault
finders. Nothing goes right for them
in the family or in business There is
always dead fly in their ointment. 1t
is a miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends He really can't help
himself. His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifyiug every little
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole hills as mountains. He IS
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate and all these things are only
symptoms of the disease which is starry
ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM?
What can be done for the victim of
dyspepsia? .
He can be cured. He can be given
new start in life. He can be made the
anliable, companionable man he was of
old. He can once more eat with ap-
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound,
dreamless slurnber.
This is not a mere empty claim I'M
supported by facts. The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands Of men and

The Christmas Stocking.

Use white hose that there may be no
danger of color poisoning.
Place some much desired gift III the
very toe. An orange or apple ills the
heel nicely.
Use more apples and dainty cakes,

and bananas. A little candy is much
better than pounds of it.
Grown the top with book, doll or
pair of skates,
Tie every parcel in tissue paper
then watch the little fingers as they
open them.
Put no re-dressed doll or mended toy
