A Deacon Is Accused By Child.

"A DeocoH Is accused by Child.
Vineland. N. j. July IA The
borough had an upheaval to. day when
1t became known that Chauncey
Towne. well-to.do retired farmer
and civil war veteran had been ar
rested upon charge of assaulting
Bertha, the 10 year.old daughter of
Mrs. Hattie Wills. Residents have
taken both sides in the case, many re.
fusing to believe the truth OF the
charges. as Mr.. Towne is a deacon of
the West Baptist Church and one of
the most ardent workers of the con.
gregation. He declares that il is a
pure case of blackmail and his friends
stick to him most Loyalty.
The child has been living at the
home of the Townes, and she alleges
that the man first attacked her last
Christmas, since which times she has
been subjected to his abuse repeatedly.
She confided in her aunt and her
mother, learning of the situation,
swore to the complaint before Justice
OF the Peace Browne. After holding
the case over for two days the Squire
held Towne under $1,000 bail to answer
the charge.
Mrs. Towne denounces the whole
proceedings as blaokmaii. She says
Bertha's mother owes her board bill
and matches up this story because Mr..
Towne would not give up the girls
clothing until the money was forth.

Use For Old Shoes.

Janitors collect the shoes cast away by tenants and send them to auction rooms, where they are sorted into piles marked Men, "Nomen, Children. Several poor people made fair bids, but the auctioneer did not seem any- ious to sell. Finally a man pushed his way through the crowd and offered 10 cents apiece for the whole lot. His bid was successful.
 "I was killing time with talk waiting for that fellow" said the auetioneer afterward. "He always pays high for these shoes, and lie does not want them for wearing. either. He wants to beat them out for the leather in them. He gets what material there is, puts it through a process and makes stamped imitation leather novelties, such as pie ture frames, bags, pocketbooks, pen knife holders and even chair backs and seats. He finds a ready sale for these novelties and gets good price for them" ."-Shoe Retailer.

Minerals In Food.

Minerals in our food form an impor- tant ingredient as regards our nutrl- tion. They seem to assist the digestion of our foods and are needed to complete the composition of many fluids of the body Thus the salt in tears is poetic and proverbial both, and salt Is also necessary for the perfection of the gas tric juice of the stomach. The phos. phate of lime Gin which oatmeal. by the way, is rich) is needed for building bones, and there is not fluid of the body, from the blood to the saliva, for which certain minerals are not neces- sary. Too much mineral matter. taken, for example in overland water, is in- furious. Therefore all hard water shoull be softened before use. Such wa. ter produces constipation and dyspepsia and is apt to cause kidney troubles.

RIesSfnx the River.

Tn the little Balkan state of Rou- mania it has been the custom from time immemorial for towns by the river Danube to keep the Christmas feast by q peculiar ceremony called '.blessing the river" This used to be carried out on a scaffolding erected on the frozen river, but owing to an acci- dent. when the ice broke, and hun dreds of people were drowned. 1t is now held upon the bank. The people wear turbans of colored paper and car ry long, white wands. Some are dress ed to represent Biblical characters. The service conducted by priests, lasts about half an hour, and then the ice is broken and a small wooden cross thrown into the water. Then people rush into the icy river after this en- blem, and the person who secures it is supposed to be assured of great good luck for the coming year.

 Many of the choicest water lilies, even the magnificent Victoria rega, may be grown from seed. For many years the seed of this lily, when brought to this country, failed to ger minate.
 It was finally found that by bottling the seeds i'll the water of the river in which they grew they could be trans ported safely from the waters of the Amazon to the far west Here the lily Is usually grown with bottom heat, as it is very tender Seeds started ill pots ill a temperature of 90 degrees will ger minate ill about two weeks and may be planted out in the open air when the nights have become warm-usually about the 1St of June-and will bloom the same sumner, but cannot be car ried through the winter, but must be started afresh each season. either by the purchase of plants or the sowing of seed, the latter being of course, muea more economical. as seeds may be pEz- chased for 1 few nielsels apiece. the plants costing as many dollars.-Amer- jean Homes and Gardens.

Grading Up the Herd.

My practice is to grade up our herd
by using the best pure bred sires of
the same breed that we can secure.
The heffer calves are all raised by
hand on skim milk, alfalfa hay and
grain. This is the practice now in
use by many of our dairy farmers. In
some communities, the farmers sell
their cows when we'll along in lacta.
ton and replenish from the surround.
ing farms. However, such farmers
are not dairymen, but only cow-keep
ers, and do very little to stimulate the
business. By my method and the use
of scales and Babcock tester, any
farmer can in few years have prac-
tically high-working, pure-bred herd
of dairy cattle. By that time they
will have buildings and will have
learned how to handle such animals.
Pure-bred dairy stock requires good
handling.
| wish might show you the i'm.
pIovements that have been affected
at this institution in some of our stock
by the use of pure-bred sires. Breed
ing is onehalf of the question and
care is the other. The two must go
hand in hand. We hear a great deal
about pure-bred dairy cattle, but too
little about pure-bred dairy men.

A Call From the Wild.
By Marion Kells.

By Marion Kells.
Come o, love, with me away!
Come where balmy breezes play:
Whispering thro the woodland trees,
Dancing lightly DER the leas.
Come with me to fowery dells
Where fairies weave their magic
spells.
Come where bright the sunlight CLEANS
On the dancing, babbling streams.
Here the modest violets lie
Hidden from the worlds dull eye;
And from out their messy beds
The golden cowslips raise their
heads.
Hark, how sweet the warbler sings,
See to yander bough he clings;
Family floats his merry song,
AS lightly now he skins along.
All, what a joyous life is ours
Here mid the birds and beauteous
flowers!
Well drive afar dull care away;
Nor homeward turn till dies the day.

Rice Crouuettss.

One cupful rice, one quart milk, one
tablespoonful chopped parsley, yolks
of four eggs, salt and pepper to taste.
Wash we'll the rice, put on to boil in
a farlna boiler with the milk, or use
cold boiled rice, and set to boil with
the milk after pressing through a
sieve. If the rice has not been cooked
let it boil about an hour. II 1t has
been already cooked 20 minutes will

the fire and beat until smooth, mash
ing all the grains. Then add the
well beaten yolks of the eggs and cook
eight Or ten minutes longer. Add The
parsley and seasoning, using he
white pepper. Take from the fire and
mix we'll, and turn out in a plate and
let it cool. Then form into pretty

Fetching Linen Suit.

Linen suits, made very much like
their cloth compatriots, will be found
to be among the most useful gowns in
trousseau. A particularly attractive
gown made of white linen is banded
with coral linen and adorned with
white pearl buttons. A high belt of
linen folded into the surplice-crossa
front of the bodice is smartly strapped
with the coral pink, connecting the
gown with the princess model. Worn
with guimpe of baby Irish lace, the
gown thus escapes the conventional
tailored effect of most linens and, ac
companied by smartly trimmed lin
gcrie hat, would present the bride upon
her appearing out" in a garb that
would defy criticism, for it represents
the acme of perfection in the summer
walking suit.

Artificial Storm at Sea.

The inhabitants of Aboukir, near
Alexandria, were recently treated to
wonderful spectacle. 1t became
necessary to destroy some 16 tons of
powerful dynamite, and the explo-
sives-sufficient to blow up a town
were taken to sea and placed beneath
the water. Something like a subma-
rine earthquake followed the explo-
sion, which was heard for miles
around. A waterspout shot into the
air to height of about 1000 feet, and
fell back in dazzling spray. Stimuli
taneously the sea became whirlpool
of seething water. as if agitated by
hurricane
