FARM WORK BY "s1GNs." !"

The farmers of the township of Fay cite, adjoining Waterloo. are largely of Pennsylvania Dutch origin. They are hardy and thrifty race. and for gen. eral intelligence compare favorably with their neighbors of Anglo Saxon stock. They are, however. full of the quaint superstitions and rural folklore of their forefathers, and many interest ing anecdotes are told by Fayette peo- pie Illustrating the length to which the good Dutch yeonanry go in their de- votion to the signs, in the conduct of their farms and the routine of their lives.
 In all earthly matters the almanac seems to be their Bible, and the moon and the cancellations are as really generated, though in a different way, as they were by their yellow-haired ancestors along the shores of the North Sea. Not only in the tilling of their land, but in all the minute concerns of their daily lives, the signs must be right before anything is done, or-"woe betide."
 If a cheese is to be cut it must be done in the increase of the moon, or, by the same token, it will fade away with incredible rapidity before the daily demands of the family, who will yet de- rive a miraculously scanty nutriment therefrom; whereas if, in obedience to the sage counsel of the elders of the house. it be done as the moon waxes, it will be like the widows measure of meal and crllse of oil
 If fence posts are to be set, spade must not be put to the ground till the position of the sun in the zodiac be de- termined from the book of fate, the al- manac. Otherwise, it is only matter of time when, not the frost below, but the stars above, will heave them from their places. The swine must not be slaughtered with disregard for the stel- lar divinities, or the pork will dwindle in the barrel as if an army corps were feeding thereon.
 Tn the sowing, tilling and harvesting of their crops, of course, the same fidel- ity to the old-folk notions of their fathers is shown; but in this they are not peculiar, for here their ideas are shared by the unscientific of every class and race. In a Waterloo business place recently, where these signs were under animated discussion for an hour, only one man raised the voice of scep- tieisn1 against these fancies. and all but two of these present expressed positive faith in one or more of the signs of Fayette Dutch folklore Rochester Post Express

THE REGULATION OF FOOD,
Some Steps Taken in the Right Direc-
 fion

 Some Steps Taken in the Right Direc-
 tion.
 Some months ago elaborate experi- ments were conducted in this country with the object of discovering whether or not certain food preservatives in common use were seriously detrimental to the human organism. Another inves- tigation in connection with human. .nu- trition--to deterhiine the minimum amount of proteid or albuminous food requisite for the maintenance of health and strength under ordinary condi- tions, and whether economy in food can not be practiced with distinct advant- age-is being carried out. the war de- partment cooperating with the Sheffield scientific school in the work These ex- Deriments deserve close attention and all the encouragement. E is marvel ous thing that science, which has weighed the moon and measured the or bits of the planets and split the atom into electrons, has not yet been able convincingly to tell man what is and what is not his proper food And yet it is evident to every intelligent observ- CT that very large proportion of men and women are poisoning themselves every day, ruining their bodies and their minds, shortening their lives and bringing upon themselves pain and misery, through eating and drinking substances and quantities that are not fitted for human assimilation. And who shall say how much of the vice and per- version of the world is directly due to this evil? Reforners are at work ev- erywhere, but the reform who could, with authority, show humanity what it should eat and drink, would surely do more good than whole army of wise- acres tinkering at the effects of the evil.

RIBBON EMBROIDERY A FAD.

Especially Woven Patterns for the
 Purpose-Clover Blossoms.
 From France comes ribbon embroid- cry, the latest revival in fancy work. Like the beed fad, the place of which it is now usurping, ribbon embroidery was introduced by the court ladies at Trianon in the time of Louis XVI, and since then it has always been more or less popular Probably one reason for this is it's simplicity, for any one who lis handy with a needle can do this work after the pattern is once stamped
