ChrysoIoras,

Chrysoloras, a native of Constan-
tinople, who has been styled the re-
storer of Greek in Italy, carried
Greek lore and taught his native
tongue to the magnates and youth
of the principal Italian cities from
400 to 1415, and his Greek gram
mar was the standard for many
years. Greek at that time was little
known in western and northern Eu-
rope, not single book in that idiom
being found in the library of the king
of France as late as 1925, but it be-
came favorite study in Italy, where
many Greek scholars found refuge
after the final overthrow of the east
ern empire in 1853.

In Swiss and German farmhouses,
where the baking takes place once
a fortnight or certainly at fairly
long intervals, such thing as I'M
pleasantly stale bread is almost un-
known. 1t is put away in peculiar
manner, which tends to preserve its
freshness. Sprinkle flour freely in
TO an empty tlourasack, and into this
pack the loaves, being careful to
have the top crusts of two loaves
touching. Where they have to lie
bottom to bottom sprinkle -four be-
tween them. Tie up the sack and
hang it up in an airy place - not
against wall, but so that it can
swing. The day before the loaf is
wanted take it out, brush off the
Hour and stand it in the cellar over
night. In this way bread remains
edible for three or four weeks.

THE FALSE DAWN.
One Hour of the Night When All Ma
ture Is Astir.

There is one hour of the night be-
tween midnight and morning.
O'Clock, to be accurate-when all ma
ture is astir. The cowboys and the
shepherds and the old country folk
tell us about it.
This hour is heralded by the
rooster growing, not this time to
announce the hour of dawn, but as
though he were a Waterman speed
ing the course of night. Cowboys
assert that the entire herd of cat
tie wake up and walk about and lie
down and rest in a new lair.
The sheep rouse themselves and
crop the grass, the birds stir in their
nests, the cowboys horses and the
shepherds dog open their eyes to
see that all is well.
The shepherd and the cowboy
open their eyes, too, to look for a
moment at the stars and become for
the time being mere animals in ma
lures flock. Yet there is no ac-
counting for the inaudible sum-
mons, the gentle touch of nature
that recalls all the sleepers to life
at precisely the same hour.
Even to those deepest read in
these arcana this rhythmical nightly
resurrection remains a mystery

BOARDING THE PARsoN.
How South Carolina Circuit Preacher
Was Provided For.

One of the most successful circuit
preachers in South Carolina is Mr..
Ddkes At one time he had a cir
cult that embraced parts of three
counties, from Smyrna to Washfoot,
10 Zion and back again, and he tells
many amusing anecdotes of his ex-
periences on the road.
When he was serving his appren-
ticeship as young and ambitious
minister Of the gospel he was sent
as a missionary to Florida in the
early days and was assigned to
post on the Indian river far south
of Titusville. There was no railroad
then, and a sparse population, who,
like Little Brooches of John Hay
fame, didn't 60 much on religion
and looked with an eye askance at
strangers.
Mr.. Dukes told the people that he
was determined to establish
church there; that churches brought
schools; that schools brought set
tiers and that settlers brought pros
perity, and that he had no money
and no price, but intended that the
people should take care of him.
1t was at big meeting that all
this was said, more of a citizens
meeting than a church gathering,
and Mr.. Dukes asked:
"Now, what can you do for the
preacher? | don't intend to put the
burden Of my living upon any one
family, but upon all of YOU, turn
and turn about | will not, how
ever, go where the latch string is
not hanging out of the door What
can you do for the preacher ?"
One old lady, who had a dim rec
election of a small church in the
piney woods of Georgia when she
was girl, said:
Il kin eat him, but I can't sleep
him.
"That's good. Now, who next ?"
asked the missionary.
well, if Sister Jenkins is gwine
to eat him I'll agree to sleep him,
but | can't wash him."
That's good! Who next p
Then another sister spoke up and
said, "Well, Pll wash him, but I
amt much on billed shirts"
At another time Mr.. Dukes called
at a house one Sunday morning to
take the two daughters to church.
The two girls had been off to
school for year each. They were
dressing while the old lady, smoking
by the hearth, expatiated to the
preacher upon the merits of educa-
ton and the accomplishments of
! hcr daughters.
In a few minutes one of the girls
sailed in arrayed in all the colors of
the rainbow. ooh, ma" she ex-
claimed, tanning herself furiouslY,
Il feel so lumina1y!"
In a minute or two the other girl
| sailed III like the first, and she ex-
| claimed, ooh, ma, [ feel so stew
| minary'
The old lady's eyes glisteped with
pride as she beheld her. girls i'm
pressing the preacher with fine
words, and she exclaimed in her
turn:
''Bless God. How dem gals kin
talk de gramminary" = Florida

1t is not believed that the late
cold weather has damaged the
fruit or grain to any extent.
The fruit trees were hardly far
enough along up on the prairie to
sustain any damage and down a.
long the rivers it is not thought
the cold was sufficient to do any
material damage. It is to be
hoped this is the case as the fruit
crop was so short last year that
a similar shortage this year
would work a great hardship on
the people and cause many to
think fruit could not be raised
here.
LATER. "A report brought up
from Lewiston by the stage driv-
er says that the cold reached
four degrees below zero on the
river and that the entire apricot
and peach crop is killed. The
cherry crop is not thought to be
injured so badly but the killing
of the apricots and peaches will
be a hard blow to the fruitgrow-
ers along the river and the peo-
pie of central Idaho will have to
depend largely on other varieties
for their fruit supply this year.
The harder varieties of fruit
are practically uninjured and un-
less late frosts occur the crop on
the prairie should be a good one
this year.
