Thunder Lore.

The natives Of the Hawaiian Isla nds
considered thunder as being Mauna
Loa's echo from the clouds. This Gu
rious notion has crystallized weather
proverb which is now current among
many of the white residents of the
islands-viz, "It will rain today;
Mauna Loa shakes the clouds" In
this connection it may be remarked
that the early Scandinavian settlers in
Iceland believed that there were some
mysterious and supernatural connec-
tons between the rOarings of Hecla and
the angry mutterings of Jove" In
England many of the peasantry still
plant the house leek-"Jupiter's beard
--on their house roofs as q preventive
against thunder, lightning and evil
spirits, custom which reminds one of
Charlemagne's edict, "Et habeat Quis-
que supra domum suam Joyis bar
bam."
Another widespread superstition, and
one that has been noted among the
tribes and nations from China to Eng
land and from Cape Hatteras to the
Golden Gate, tells us that If the ''claps''
or rcaorts of thunder come in even
numbers the storm will be of short
duration and very mild, but, on the
other hand, If they come in uneven
numbers, especially if the reports be
q series of five. nine or thirteen dis
tinct claps, much loss of life and prop
erty will result.

The Cleaners.


The old custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the Bibli-
cal story Of Ruth and Naomi. is not
obsolete in England, and in Hertford-
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbor-
ing counties as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves, which they carry
in their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails,
hll the booty is bound up in cloths and
Carried home on the heads Of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use 1t
for their chickens. The gathering Of
half peck is usually full days work
for a child. and often woman spends
whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in the light Of picnic.
The mother and children leave home in
the morning. take with them food for
the day. and stay out in the fields until
nightfall.-Detroit Free Press.

THE COOKBOOK

If the pastry be slow in browning,
throw a little sugar on the oven shelf.
This will expedite matters greatly.
If the skin Of a beet root has got bro
ken, scar the part with a redhot iron
before cooking it. This will prevent
the beet from bleeding.
/ The next time tomato soup is plan
ned for the family dinner try adding
a few slices of orange just before sery-
ing and enjoy the pleasant flavor which
they impart.
Eggplant is most palatable when
broled. Cut into thick slices, with the
skin on; dip in olive oil seasoned with
salt and pepper and cook on wire broil
er over a clear fire five or ten minutes.
When a cake contains too much flour
or has baked too fast, it will sink from
the edges or rise up sharply, with q
crack in the middle. If cake has g
coarse grain. it was not beaten enough
or the oven was too slow.
If you like cocoanut pyramids, beat
the whites of two eggs till light and
stiff mix with two cupfnls of grated
cocoanut, one cupful of powdered sug
ar and two tablespoonfuls Of -four
make into pyramids and bake brown.

UNCLE SANS FREAK MONEY

bills That Are Twenty Dollars or
One Side and Ten ON the Reverse.
Scattered throughout the country are
few pieces of paper money that are
known as ''freak bills by the officials
of the treasury department.. One of
them turned up in this city not long
ago-it had the imprint Of a twenty
dollar note on one side and ten on
the other. AS the face showed the
twenty, that was it's legal value
The deputy assistant treasurer Of
the United States, who is stationed in
the New York subtreasury, was speak
ing of these freaks the other day and
said he had only seen one of them in
his life, although he had heard of sew
eral Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite careful scrutiny by
three or four sets Of inspectors. In
most cases they have been national
banknotes, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed at the bureau in
Washington. The face value always
Is recognized when the freaks come to
be cashed in, at any branch Of the
treasury, and the imprint on the back
has no lawful status whatever
"The notes are printed in sheets at
the bureau" said the official "Usual-
IL there will be one twenty and two
tens on sheet. They. are printed one
side at a time, so it can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get it upside down and thus put
q ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note, or twenty on the back of one Of
the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutinizingly
as they should, and SO the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered, the misprinted sheet Is laid
aside to be destroyed. 1t cannot be
torn I'D at once, for every sheet has to
be accounted for. After good dea.
of red tape, it is ground up into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. 1t is thought that less
than dozen are now scattered about,
most of them in the hands Of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu-
lation of the few notes q matter Of
any consequence. inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as in
dicated on the face.-New York Times.

A Quick Witted Pastor.

In Germany country preacher was
preaching a sermon when suddenly he
lost the thread of his discourse, and,
do what he would, he could not find it
again.
The congregation was greatly embar-
rassed and was wondering what the
matter was when he startled it by ex-
claiming hurriedly, Pardon me, my
brethren, for pausing in my sermon,
but it seems to me that smell fire
somewhere-and-and 1t might be well
to see that it has not broken out in the
church or in any of the nearby houses"
Before the words were all uttered
the congregation was pouring out of
the church, each family being anxious
to make sure that it's home was not on
fire. 1t need hardly be said that the
fire existed only in tho pastors imag'
tnation.

The shortest Lived City.

Which of the large cities of the world
had the shortest life?
In the ancient world the answer is
Palmyra. The period of it's prosperity
extended only from 1T to 273 A. D.,
1856 years. In the fifth century b. G.
PersopoNs was the capital of the Per
sian empire for thirty years only. but
this was merely an accident of war
and politics. Carthage was the shortest
lived seat of empire, for it only en-
dured about 500 years. In modern times
the answer would be Amarapura, the
former capital of Burma. Founded in
1888, it had in 1900 population Of
175,000. Sixty years later the seat of
government was transferred to Man
dalay, and Amarapura is now repre-
sented only by few ruined temples
and bamboo huts.-London Answers.

assay average values Of so to the ton

that this will make one Of the biggest

throughout the winter. The mill will
not be started again until the fuel
