FASHION IN DRINK.
Absinthe Frappe Made Popular by a
Song, Scotch Whiskey by Golf.

"Stranec things govern peoples
taste in the matter Of drinks,' said
the old time, white-haircd barkecpcr
"F'eforc the 'Absinthe Frappc' was
sung in Nordland' we very rarely had
a call for absinthe in that form.
"The tune and words Of the song
were catchy, people got to learning it.,
they caught the songs sentiment and
began to think about the drink. Then
they began to try it.
"Few care for the new dccoction

''Scutch whiskcy came to- America
with golf. Before the humping Of
the little white ball became a popular
American sport some Scotch whiskcy
was drunk. 1t was usually taken hot

Hogs AS Ready Cash Products.

Prof. Andrew M. SouIc in South

March:
For the small farmer the hog is
the animal par excellence to grow, IA
he natures in from 10 to IL months
and has Il ready cash value on the
market. Furthermore. hogs can be
raised cheaper, than any other class
Of stock, for under the modified sys-
tenn Of practice outlined below hogs
may be made to weigh 1870 to-. 200
pounds in10 to - months on amin
imum ration Of grain, say from, Ave
to ten bushels of corn. This, c0mpars
ed with the exclusive corn-fattenine
practiced generally, would ..revolu.
tionize the whole business from a f.
Iancial standpoint. The south, does
not grow corn on anything Nike the
scale Followed in the west, but 1t has
been clearly demonstrated that sub

fluences of nature have placed the
southern farmer on n plane where he

t,AtlsslHoRsE PISTOL OF 1918. !.
One Of Lot Made for Uncle Sans
Troopers-0nly Three Left.

An interesting exhibition of wcap-
ons may be seen in the Free Library
at Newark. 1t consists chiefly Of mil
%itary weapons from the collections of
James T.. Coombes, who is an enthus-
iastic amateur collector Of sucl,
things.
Among the rare weapons to be
shown is lever cross bow gun Of the
ttfteenth century. Another is a
Sharp's carbinc with coffee mill in
the stock; Il third is a nintlock horse
pistol made in Springfield in 1918 by
the government.
1t is said that only three pistols Of
this type are in existence. The issue
was 500 pistols in time of peace.
They were used in fighting Indians
on the frontier and in the first Semi
mole war.
This pistol is Is inches long, is
iron mounted throughout and carries
an ounce round ball. II weighs near
~ five pounds and was almost rs fV-
midable rs Il bludgcon as fircarm.
The original hickory ramrod is in
place.
On the inside of the lockplatc is
the name as. Dalc,' who was prob
ably the maker of the lock. Both lock
and barrel are dated and the former
bears the United States stamp under
II spread eagle.
The proof marks on the left of the
brccch are n Y and p WVicwcd'
and "Provcd'0 with an eagle head
between the letters.
The $. North horse pistols, which
are highly valued by collectors, were
made in the Springfield armory the
same year. North had moved down
from Middleton to enter upon con-
tract with the government. His pis-
tolls have his name on the lockplatc.
This is not Il North pistol, but is
said tn be much rarer. 1t is much
larger than the North type and has no
brass about il. The weapon belongs
to n NcwarLcr. who has a small col
lection of arms.

ROSES FOR CATCHING RATS.
Agricultural Department to Test the
5.5g Flower. as q Rodent Bait.

The use of choice roses as rat bait
is to be. experimental upon by tho
biological bureau of the department
Of agriculture, says the Washington
Post. The bureau has been informed
of a number of cases.,where rodents
that spurned tempting cheese and
crackers were easily enticed by a rose,
and it is believed that the results
Of the experiments proposed by :, the
bureau will be to show conclusively
that these flowers surpasS cheese,
crackers, rinds of bacon and other
bats that are uncommonly used to en-
ticc the rats into the trap.
! 1t is explained that it is not so
much the taste Of the rose that at
tracts the rat as it is their fragrance
for this reason roses arc expected to
be the popular bait for the future.
Cases have been known where To-
dents attracted by the sweet perfume
Of a rose in the house, have gnawed
through doors to get at the flower.
Rats have been known to become sus-
picious Of traps with familiar bait
Of cheese and bacon rinds and easily
cvade a trap for long time. From
experience it has been found that
white roses, such as the dainty bride
rose or the snowy nephitos, have
proved preferable in rat catching
One or two of these fragrant flowers
arc placed in the wire Gagged trap, and
it is stated that it will not take long
for Mr.. Rodent to be tempted by the
enticing and sweet smelling bait.
The power of rose as rat bait is
said to have originated in California
about two years ago, but it was not
until recently that the flower was
used to any extent. Now that the
government has officially recognized
the rose as a rat catcher and will
doubtless indorsc it the flower will
probably become common method
of cnticing rats to the death traps.

Disappearing Hotel Towels.

"We lose money enough in stolen
towels every week to board half a
dozen porters,' said hotel clerk.
"We never know exactly where they
go, but they certainly disappear, and
that right fast. IF some of the pco-
pie who take our towels would exert
their cnorgies in more laudable vo-
cation they would have been ricl,
many months ago.
"There is scarcely a room in the
hotel that does not lose towel at
least three times week. OF course,
we place several kinds.-facc towels,
bath towels and just plain towels--in
each one, and some one finds them so
attractive that they are dropped into
a grip and hustled out with the re-
mainder of the luggage
"When you figure that good bath
towel costs from ten to twenty cents
and other towels anywhere from three
to five cents, you probably can esti.
mate tho dead loss to- a hotel. It is
very convenient to drop them into

YELLOW DOG
 A BRAVE ONE
Judge Andrew Hamilton
 Takes the Floor
His Roast of New York Life Board and His Defense of h'CalI ArOuses Applause.

Albany Mar. 15.-Andrew Hamilton appeared before the insurance inves- tigating committee this afternoon and broke the silence which he has main tained except for his statement brought from Paris by John C. Mccall, ever since his name was first mentioned in the investigation in connection with the great sums of money shown to have been paid to him during the past ten years on account of his legal and legislative work for the New York Life and other insurance companies.
 It would be difficult to exaggerate the sensation produced by his unex pected appearance and by the speech he made, or the intensely dramatic character of the whole episode. His face fused and his voice trmbled with passion. With arms upraised and his fists clenched, Judge Hamilton poured forth flood of denunciatiun and invective upon the members of the board of trustees of the New York Life company, several of whom were pres ent, designating them "curs and trait ors" and paying especial attention to one unnamed, whom he described as "the Pecksniff of three administrations the confidant of the Beers scandal and the author of the Beers pension-who rotates through one administration to another and thinks he is going to be an indispensable member of yet an- other"
 And do you think" he demanded, that the man who held the same re- lation to MT Beers that I did to Mr. Mccall could sit for thirteen years since and not know how the expendi- lures that were made were to be and were disbursed? Yet he and such like him sit, not judging me as Beers. but judging me as conquerors, talking about yellow dogs"
 The only name he mentioned was that of the late President Mccall, in his reference to whom and his death he displayed marked emotion. He spoke of Mr Mccall as a victim. as ! having been shouldered with the blame-"the only one, the dead man, killed, that they drove to his grave and deserted" and he declared that the memory of this man had appealed to him ito come down here and say something for him and just a word i for myself"
 He declared that every payment to | himself by the New York Life was made with the Knowledge and approv- al of the trustees, especially of the if nance and auditing committees. He pointed out that if there had been any 1 thing the matter with his vouchers for these payments, 1t was their duty to
 bring him to book for it. yet. he said
 month after month and year after year for ten years they passed i them, land then when the cry at last ] comes out they say: "We did not know anything about it; this is tho i fellow; this is the man that has done il
 all" When they say they did not
