Rev Mr.. Kincaid has not returned

on the other counts, however, the SUBJ

say that Judge Humphreys has per-

Mr.. Atherton believes, an allowance for

Special Policeman Harry Hagerty
Of the Pennsylvania railroad, has be-
come a firm believer in dreams. This
is because, the other night, in a
dream he saw four men drilling into
the safe of the Phoenixville station.
He rushed into the room, according
to the dream, threw one of the men on
the floor, and, while holding him down
by a firm grasp on his throat, began
to cry loudly for help. The shrieking
Of a passing engine, as he thought,
woke him up, when he found that he
was clutching his, wife by the neck.
and that her screams of terror were
the noise that he imagined was the
whistle of locomotive. 1t was 1880
a. m, when Hagerty related the dream
to his better half. who. after some gen.
tie admonitions, allowed him to go to
sleep again. Upon glancing over The
Record the next morning he was as
tonished to find that a gang of four
burglars had blown the safe to atoms
at the Phoenixville station at 1880 a.
m, and had escaped on a handcar,
which was subsequently found near
Frazer. Hagerty claims that he, can
tell the faces of the four men If he
ever runs across them, as their fea-
tunes are as vivid to his mind as If he
had actually been on the scene

shues for Geese-Spectncles for Cows.
Cows wearing spectacles and geese
wearing shoes are not common, but
they exist In Bohemia, when geese
are to be driven for long distance to
market, they are made to walk re-
peatedly over patches of tar mixed
with sand. This forms a hard crust
on their feet, which enables them to
walk for great distances without be-
coming sore-footed. In one section OF
the Russian steppes are to be found
10000 cows wearing spectacles. In that
region the snow lies white on the
ground for six months OF the year, and
the cattle pick seanty living from
the tufts OF grass which grow below 1t.
The sun shines so dazzlingly upon the
white surface that the animals form

Then 1t occurred to some humane per-
son to try smoked glasses for the cat

FOO Little Economy by People Of Small
Incomes a
There is too little economy at home.
People should live moderately II their
income is small. In the last Good
Housekeeping, Edith Dickson talks
very sensibly on extravaganza in the
home.
The widest range in the estimate Of
twenty families was found in the table
expenses. On incomes Of from 81 800
to $4,000. two or three families Of three
persons each reckoned their table ex-
penses at IS a week. One family OF
two adults and two children gives $2e
month, as the average cost of their
table during the year. In other fami-
lies OF the same size and income. table
expenses are computed at from $40 to
$50 a month. There is no other de-
partment Of household expenditure
which requires so much constant care
and good management as the provid-
ing for the table. In an impromptu
symposium Of dozen women upon the
subject Of domestic finances,it was de-
cided that out OF an income of $1,000.
$500 should be allowed for ineidentals.

insurance premiums, etc. Some fami-
lise having this salary do better.
know Of two or three cases where on
this income about s4O0 year is saved.
leaving $1,000 for the total family ex-
penses. An ideal division has been
suggested by Mrs. Ellen Richards for
different incomes. On $4,000 year for
q family Of two adults and two or
three children the proposed expendi-
lures is as follows: Food, $500;
rent. s4OO; fuel. wages, etc.. $500;
clothes $500; higher life, savings, etc,
S400. The last head must be under
stood to include incidentals such as
amusements travelling expenses. books.
etc. On $1,000 year for a family Of
the same size, the allowance for food
is $500; rent. 5000; clothes, $50; fuel.
wages, etc, 800; higher life savings,
etc. $3.50. Whether rent needs to be
so much as the allowance here made
depends entirely upon the locality. Out
side of the large cities 1t should be
less. Many families of five or six
with $4,000 year spend less than $500
for food. Another housewife testiiies
that her husbands salary amounts to
1888 year. There are three in the
family and their expenses are as fol-
lows. Rent, s216; fuel. SIS; table
$425; the remaining 1928 covers cloth
