fruit and If they are buried this does not have to be removed from the eel lar, but can be plowed or spaded un- der the next spring, when they are taken from the pits.
 Winter pears are nice If they are carefully packed and put in the cellar to get mellow. They will do this, a few at time, and with several punches to put away, will last until Christmas. Pumpkins can be kept till the next pumpkin season if they are put in the right kind of place. to put them, but a dark room where they will be kept warm and dry. One farmer kept them in this way, and put them on exhibition in grocery window the next summer. Through the summer there Is such a variety of fruit and vegetables that if no pro- vision is made in this way to save them they are greatly missed when cut off in the fall. Of course there are the canned goods and vegetables buried in the ground, but with It. tie preparation the winter stores need not be begun on at once.

EARLY COLLAR NEARER.
First Form of Neck Decorations
 Invention of Linen Collar.


 Invention of Linen Collar.
 Mans first real step forward to- ward civilization was the assumption of a collar. It is true that the early collar was more like a necklace and that it was made of teeth or cowrie shells, the teeth being the spells of some enemy, such as man of an- other tribe or a wild beast which 1t was credit to have killed.
 And 1t is curious thing that the neck should have been the first part of the body to be decorated. It comes before the head, with the band of grass or hide into which feathers were stuck and which evolved into the crown in one direc- tion and into the hat in the other. It comes before the wrists on which bangles have developed into brace lets and the kindred cuffs: before the waist and long before the fingers. It was this primitive instinct for adorning the neck that led the African ohieftain to reject all other forms of European raiment and to bedeck himself with the paper collar of the wondering white man. And the more important man became the greater was the number of strings of shells or teeth that he put round his neck, until he became as swathed as Beau Brummel or the prince regent and no doubt as digni- fled.
 But then comes the curious gap in history. The ancient civilizations were not habitual collar wearers, but that was probably because they lived round about the Mediterranean,

PROCEEDS OF LOTTERIES.

Constantly we are reminded of the prominent part the lottery had in the affairs of the community in the early part of the last century. Har- yard college has dormitories built from the proceeds of the sale of chance Many Connecticut bridges were built in the same way and the Hotel Tontine at New Haven was started thus. The death of Lucius Fitch. Saturday night, brought an end to the peculiar conditions of the charter of the hostelry, which was built about 1925. Shares of stock numbering 300 were sold and by the terms each shareholder was to name some nominee whose death would mark the termination of the existence of the shares. When all but seven of the nominees had died the property was to be divided equally among the remaining share holders. This will now be done. as only seven nominees are still alive All of them are over s3 years old

KEEPING WINTER VEGETABLES.
Burying in the Ground a Good Gen.
 eral Rule.

Of all the methods of keeping vege- tables for winter use burying them in the ground is the best. Those put into cellars will wilt no matter how they are packed, and this is true also of fruit, especially apples, says con- tributor to the Indiana Farmer. If potatoes, cabbages, beets and turnips as we'll as apples are well buried, so as to be protected from frost, they will be crisp and firm when taken out. Just go to an apple pit when apples are being taken out and see how nice they look and how good they smell. Apples as well as pota- toes will keep in these pits until late the next spring. This is for the vege- tables for winter use, but there are always some tomatoes left on the vines when the frost comes, small head of cabbage, celery and different things can be put away for immediate use and will last long time. The fruit and vegetables that are buried can be kept for use later on.
 The green tomatoes that are always caught by the first frost can be gath cred up,either before or after-be- fore is better-and placed in some sunny spot to ripen. One woman puts her green tomatoes In her hot bed in the fall. Here they ripen few at time and she has tomatoes sometimes as late as the last of Oc- tober. Celery can be put in dark, cool place in the cellar with little earth around it, and will keep nicely until Christmas. Cabbage heads are wrapped in paper and packed in barrel or suspended from the rafters of the cellar. A basket of turnips and beets will last long time and save going to the pit where the main part of the vegetables are buried. These are gradually used, the refuse is removed from the cellar and fed to the chickens and there is not great accumulation of decaying vegetables to fill the house with disagreeable odors. There is always a lot of waste connected with vegetables and

DISAPPOINTING PEACHES.
Big and Beautiful Without, but Not
 Very Peachy Within.

"I bought in the street the other day." said a man fond of fruit, "sev- en big and handsome peaches, in fact seven very large and beautiful peaches, for 25 cents. They looked too good to be true, but I bought them because they were so big and beautiful. I took chance and they turned dear at the price.
 ''They were clingstones, to begin with, with the flesh of the peach clinging so tightly to the stone that it seemed to be glued on. The flesh was not mellow and soft and pulpy; it cut like hardened jelly and 1t had very little peachy taste.
 Where these peaches with the beautiful outsides and the favorless flesh come from I don't know, but should think that anybody with an orchard bearing such fruit would tear up the trees and plant others bearing peaches of the true flavor in their stead.
 "The lesson to the buyer of the big and beautiful cheap peaches is, Don't expect too much for your money."

where it Is too hot to wrap up neck, and because they looked on it as a barbarous thing to do, habit to be left to the outlandish tribes. In fact the Babylonians, Greeks and Romans classed collars with trousers as things which no one but barbar- ian would wear, and that is the real reason why our civilization is so su- perior to theirs.
 The white or linen collar is quite modern invention. It turned up suddenly in the Middle Ages in the form of the ruff. which was said to have been invented to hide scar on some royal personage's neck. It reached its height in Elizabethian times and then sank down into the lace collar linen of a cavalier and the starched and plain linen of the Puritan.
 In Georgian days the collar was merged in the stock, only to come to the front again in Byronic times, when the poet wore the turned down collar, which almost proclaimed its WcuTCT d ITSCtuIuhCl. NCAI tuC Regency collar, with its folds upon folds of cravat, which was worn in a modified form by old gentlemen even in the '70s, though twenty years before smart young men in London had worn a small all round collar, just like that which is known to-day as the military"
 Then in the sos there was a pain full lapse into the Byronic collar, which for some reason or another was called the Shakespeare" per- haps from a linen draper's idea that one poet was as good as another. For the last thirty years the all round stiff collar has reigned supreme. with such little eccentricities as turned down corners and butterfly fronts, though of late it has been threatened by the double collar, variously known as the "Roddy Owen" or the "Barmaid "-London Globe.
