THE CARE OF AWNINGS.
Do Not Roll Them Up When It Rains
or When the Dew Is
Falling.

1t Is In the line of the small things
the home mistress has on her mind
to know how to care for awnings.
They are costly to begin with, and
the weather plays such havoc in de-
stroying the brightness of coloring
that it is really worth while to know
the best way to preserve them.
1t is not the thing to do to draw
awnings up when rain is falling. If
in folds they hold much more wa.

Sun shining on the wet colors is
what fades them. If very wet when
lowered it takes a long while to dry
out the heavy cloth. For the same
reason it is not a good plan to roll
them up at night unless they Keep
out the breeze, but leave them down
that they may not collect heavy dew.
Only when such a strong wind
blows that there is danger of DAM

up, says an expert on such matters;

Iced tea should be made long

II to be used without the addition of
ice, as the melting of the Ice weakens
it. A heaping ~teaspoonful for each
cup of tea wanted is none too much.
Pour boiling water over the tea
leaves, let steep three to five minutes,
pour off and cool. Some brands OF
tea require a little longer sleeping,
and this must be attended to with
judgment. Most of tea made for icing
is allowed to stand or steep too long,
and thus the tannic acid is drawn out,
rendering the taste bitter or '%strong,"
and the effect on the stomach into
which it is taken very injurious. Serve
with plenty of cracked ice and slices
Of lemon.
For a beverage to take the place Of
coffee, take three teacupfuls of clean
wheat-bran, cup and a half of corn
meal, half a cup of syrup or New
Orleans molasses, and one well-beaten
egg. Rub all these together, mixing
thoroughly, then parch in the oven
until brown, and keep in a dry, cool
place. In making, use the same guam
tity as for the real coffee, but be sure
to boil for full Is minutes. AS to cot.

xoErERS'
SKATERS FURNISHED AMUSE-

Men Of Varying Degrees Of Build
Got Together on the Floor and
Great Was the Fall
Thereof.

1t was on the evening of the rein
carnation of skating In New York. and
there was a goodly crowd awaiting the
coming of the first skater. The great,
wide polished floor looked like a
Roman arena, and the stiffness preced-
ing the arrival of the skaters suggest
ed the days Of the %gladiators, when
people waited for the wild beasts who
were to do battle with their human
antagonists. Suddenly a band broke
forth with a ragtime air. In a moment
a man appeared from the skate room
in the south end of the building-Ust
as the wild beast came forth in the
stadium-feeling his way carefully
along the floor and making little un-
certain circles, hops and skips, and
finally making a dash straight across
the shining floor to the middle of the
arena. Once in the center of the room
and finding that he could hold his bal
ance, and still navigate as in the days
of old when skates had their last inn

how many times he could encircle the
track in a minute. He had the floor
all to himself and was adding a figure

into the ring.

According to Missions Inspector

are Dutch and two German. Among
these organizations the Rhenish So

Natural color straws are having a

of them-just a little deeper and rich

TOADS EMBEDDED IN ROCK
Naturalist Declares He Found One
That Must Have Been Buried
for Many Years.

Shropshire, England, seems to be ia
vored with a substratum of buried
toads.
At a recent gathering of the Caradoc
and Severn Valley Field club Mr.. For
est, a naturalist of repute, who has
been engaged by Lady Warwick to de-
liver a course of nature study lec-
lures in Warwickshire, exhibited a
lively toad of small size which had,
he said, been found buried in solid
clay six feet underground at Broseley.
Its mouth was said to be quite closed
through disuse, so that it could not
now feed if it wanted to.
Quite recently also another small
and active toad was discovered at
Broseley Embedded in solid rock"
which excavators had split while OBJ
tanning material for one of Lady For
ester's hospitals, now in course of
erection. This also had it's mouth
closed; and for some time it was kept
by a local chemist in a stoppered bot
tie, passing thence into possession Of
at Shrewsbury.
Naturalists, of course. deny that
such cases of buried toads in solid
rock or clay can possibly occur They
allege that even a creature which pos
sesses the remarkable vitality of a
toad must soon die when deprived of
oxygen. They also say that the most
important evidence is always lacking
namely, the imprint of the animal
in the stone or clay, where it was sup
posed to have been imbedded.

Queer Fish.

1t has just been reported to the
Yorkshire (England) Naturalists' So
ciety that there is to be seen the re-
markable sight of frogs swimming in
the sea at Cayton bay, midway be-
tween Scarborough and Filey. In the
bottom of a wooded gorge at this place
is a stagnant fresh water pool, a few
feet above the sands, tenanted by hun
dreds of frogs. These are all more or
less sluggish in movements. as are
also some scores of others dotted about
on the sands. The popularity of the
latter is that they allow the incoming
w~avelets to lap over them and AIRY
them out with the suck-back, when
they swim to shore again.

Poet Building His Own Tomb.

Nearing his eightieth year, Frederic
Mistral, the Provencal poet, is still
young in mind, happily far removed
yet from the sixth age of Shakespeare.
Nevertheless he is preparing his tomb.
1t will be put up in the cemetery
at Maillane, near his house. 1t Is to
be a copy of the well-known "Pavil-
lon de Ia Refine Jeanne" at Baux. The
care taken by the Provencal poet to
make it beautiful will be remembered
for generations among the neighbor-
ing peasantry.
cit is, after all, the tomb that is
the house we live longest in; we
must have 1t beautiful" Mistral said
the other day, when somebody twit-
ted him about his hobby. And he
does the work himself with no mean
skill, refusing all aid.

Closely following the announcement
that the Finkbine Lumber Company of
Virgins had put in operation a plan to
people the cut-over pine lands and make
them produce something of the worlds
needs comes word that the j. j. Newman
Lumber Company of Hattiesburg has
also organized a company for a similar
purpose and will begin the active work
of peopling the section tributary to their
mills right away. These concerns are to
be commended for this move. 1t is nec-
essary that Inducements be offered good
people to take up this land and make
it of productive value, and none are more
able to offer these inducements than the
big numbering concerns that W it. 1t
is expected that within a few years the
population of South Mississippi will be
more than doubled and the production
of crops many times increased. That the
lands down there can be made to yield
literally has been demonstrated time and
again, the only tro lble likely to be en-
countered being in finding the right kind
of citizens to make it do so.
The Demur Manufacturing Company
of Williamsport, Pa, has bought a mill
site near Philadelphia and will erect a
large mill with a capacity of thirty cars
of lumber per day, with its own electric
light plant, deep wells and ice factory.
The concern has already purchased tim
Der lands sufficient for a run oil several
years. This will be a great addition to
the little city of Philadelphia, giving en-
pIoyment to hundreds, and swelling the
nonulation to more than double what it
is at present.
S. C. Lamar is reported by the Crystal
Springs Meteor with having gathered 81
900 crates of tomatoes from fifteen acres
of land. At the prevailing price of to-
matoes this season, Mr.. Lamar netted
something like $4,000 for the produce
from this little tomato patch. While it
is not possible to make such a record
every year, there is good money in the
trucking business, as thousands can
testify.
Uncle George Manning, living near
Aberdeen, and believed to be near 100
years old, has lately been undergoing the
act of cutting more teeth.
Brookhaven has recently experienced
a cleaning out of the blind tiger ele-
ment, and the good citizens are CORE
spondingly happy. 1t is to be hoped that
the beast will not again be allowed to
find a hiding place in that excellent city.
"A strict enforcement of the laws is gen.
orally being demanded throughout the
State, and the sentiment in favor of such
a course is growing stronger day by day.
A strict enforcement will soon do away

every good citizen to give his assistance
to the officials in the performance of this
duty.

The little city of Eupora, up in Web
ster county, is experiencing a splendid
period of prosperity. The Progress, pub
lished at that place, came last week with
nearly two columns of items concerning
new enterprises, business and residence
buildings, etc. A $4,000 gin company is
one OF the new enterprises, and the ma
chinery is already on the ground. A
marble and stone establishment is an
other. An electric lighting plant by
w. L. Gwin & Son is on foot, also a
better school than ever, with a strong
faculty and improvements too numerous
to mention. Four handsome new brick
store buildings are under construction,
and others being planned, to say moth
ing of the many residences that are 60
ing up. This spirit of enterprise is high
ly gratifying to the people OF that COM
munity in particular and the whole State
in general. Eupora is in a good section
of country, and the citizens are deter
mined that it shall be the center for q
large trade territory. Instead of losing
trade by the building of the new road
that runs near there, they will make a
strong effort to extend the already large
and productive section from which to
draw business.
Friars Point has at last succeeded in
securing a nice flow of excellent arteslan
water at a depth of LAO feet. The well
was bored with money contributed by
the citizens, and all declare it one of the
best investments ever made. Friars Point
is to be congratulated upon her good
luck.
D. A. Owen, of Utica, a foreman on
the railroad, reports that he made five
acres of land last year bring in $685..
That is not bad farming at all. There is
no place under the sun where a man can
get greater returns for the expenditure
of energy directed by the use of common
sense than in Mississippi. Grumblers
and GROWERS would accomplish the same
anywhere, and it is believed that the
most of these have emigrated from the
State. At any rate, it would seem that
our people are fast learning of what our
State offers and gives to those who work
for it, and are light-hearted and in q
good humor.
1t seems that there is a general short
age in hotel facilities throughout the
State. Jackson is short and two new
ones are being arranged for, and now
Lexington, in Holmes county, comes to
the front with a prospect that will likely
give that enterprising city another good
hostelry. There are a number of other
towns that will soon be better supplied
in the way of accommodations for the
travelling public. Mississippi is growing
faster han men and money can arrange
for the new order of things, but it viii
