kinds to catch it. but the willy rodent
evaded them all and apparently en-

the farmer had devised for its recrea-
ton. One day, however, as the farme-
turned the corner Of a haystack, car
rying a gun in his hand, he spied the
troublesome rodent at the edge Of the
hay. Instantly raising his gun. he
fired, but the blazing gun wad dropped

sliced onion, and so on until the kettle
is as full as desired Add enough cold
water to cover the upper layer of
meat.
Then put over the fire and let the
contents come to boil. Allow two
cupfuls sliced or canned tomatoes to

ture, and after the onions and meat
reach the boiling point ION no account

ture, but do not stir. Then push the
kettle back on the stove or over the
gas simmersr, where it will simply
bubble on one side. Simmer two
hours. Have ready some small pota-
toes Of uniform size, peeled, and put
into the kettle, pushing the meat and
onions gently to one side to make
room for them. The contents of the
pot must not be disturbed more than
is absolutely necessary. As soon as
the potatoes are done, which should be

legs to first joint and shank of beef
sawed and cut. Boil beef and pork in
separate kettles with unsalted water
to cover until the bohes fall out of the
pigs feet and the beef is very tender.
Lift the meat from the liquors in
which they were cooled and set both
pots away to cool The next morn
ing skim each free from the fat which
will have hardened on top. The beef
liquor can now be utilized for a rich
stock. The pork liquor should be re-
turned to kettle, together with the

only white should be worn in hot

The physician spread out in an in

cloth, another Of dark yellow. another
Of light green. another Of dark green,
another Of blue and another Of black.
Then, with the help Of six thermom-
eters, he made the following table Of
the various heats which each color re-
ceived from the sunliglG White, 100
degrees; dark yellow, 140 degrees;
light green. 155 degrees; dark green.
l68 degrees; blue, 19S degrees; black.
208 degrees.
Thus the physician proved that in
July or August the man in white Is a
little less than twice as cool as the
man in blue and a little more than
twice as cool as the man In black.
