In the country the first fishing worm
is a sure pointer that the backbone of
winter has been strained.
1T is in the home in the country
where there is watchful grand
mother and several children, that the
best sign Of spring is found. ] do not
know where the grandmother gets her
prescience. but it is unerring.
AT the very first rising of the sap,
in fact, before vegetation feels the first
thrill Of renewing life. the grandmother
has the intimation. When she makes
sassafras tea, then indeed do you know
that spring is nigh.
Occasionally you will find street
peddler in the city with lunches of saS.
safras bark for sale, and you may have
noticed that such peddlers are not of
the ordinary type.
1.-The sassafras dealer on the streets
is always mOtherly looking woman
with an apron and bonnet that is
never seen in the shops. or a paternal
looking individual who has chin whis.

gras go together.
IF ! were making book on the

hike to the country and wait for the
grandmother to steep her sassafras for

Prof. Jones of the Mathematics de-

ugliness, which latter has won for him
the nickname of "Piute." In one of

to suggest deformity. In accordance
with the professors usual custom sew

sent to the blackboard one morning
each with an assignment to work out
some problem. 1t happened on this
particular occasion that Miss Peters
diagram was rather better than any
of the others. Desiring to compliment
her, and at the same time to rouse
the emulation of the rest Of the class,
Prof. Jones remarked in loud tone:

The point was no. lost upon the
young men present, whose apprecia-

AS may be supposed, Mr.. Bruce was
greatly interested in the proceedings,
having been engaged to ferret out the
mystery which thus far had eluded his
grasp. Now to find his man ready and
waiting, so to speak, for arrest and
examination, all in his own house and
through his own will, put a different
phase upon the matter than he had
hitherto conceived possible. He lis
tened, therefore with great interest to
the accounts of Hamilton's alleged
loss of personal identity as he walked
to the hotel with Mr.. Hartwell. and,
to the latter's surprise, was rather in
clined to give 1t credence.

Several matters connected with the

interested Mr.. Hamilton deeply. In

English Eee-Laying Contest.

Consul Daniels reports from Shell
field novel egglaying competition at
the Lady Warwick Ladies' Agricul-
tural College. The conclusions reached
are that breed does not govern so
much as the laying strain or families
of breed highly developed as egg pro-
ducers. The pen of four Buff Orping-
tons led from October 10th to Novem-
ber 18th by producing forty-nine eggs,
and again on November 10th to Decem-
ber 18th with l20 eggs. One thing
the present competition shows is the
little help it is to birds TO be what
show enthusiasts call beautifully

the biggest total of eggs to their credit.

Harnessing the Rhone.

The French river Rhone is subter-
ranean stream near Bellegarde, vanish
ing in a subterranean gulf and there
remaining for considerable distance
The engineers propose to change this
romantic geology by damming tho
river and turning the water into two
parallel tunnels which will conduct the
river two miles and half to two power
generating stations. Here fall of
200 feet will yield 100000 horsepower
for 300 days in the year. The cost is
placed at about s5OOO.0OO, and the use
of the power is estimated as equivalent
to working an inexhaustible coal bed
supplying 100000 tons year.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one Of
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with little salt and yeast used
in the making of GrapeNuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities OF this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
| ing machines, there water, salt and a lit
| tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
| ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground 1t was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about IS inches long and or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
airy ovens, each perhaps Is or 80 feet long.
| There the food is subjected to a long low
| heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into a
| form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar 1t can be seen glistenins on the
granules of Grape-Nuts If held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture. and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of hickory log after
1t has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is so per-
feet in its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape Nuts, thus washing the sugar OF
from the granules and carrying it with

Hint for the Women

It is as bad plan to tire man witt,
10 much honey talk and caresses as it
IS to neglect him altogether. He must
do the wooing, you know. 1t is per-
fectly legitimate to coax him along a
little with smiles and guarded compli-
ments. but watch out that you don't
overdo. Whenever a woman gets to
begging man to love her she loosens
her craps on his heart. If you do love
him little, make him fancy it is tho
greatest honor to him. Women often
cheaper themselves. and when they do
men not only lose interset, but respect
too.
