Notwithstanding improved medical
knowledge and the benefits Of modern
sanitation, we are dying earlier than
our grandparents did. Inc United
States census shows considerably
increased death rate for all ages over
sixty years. At the same time. It
still holds good that the average ex-
pectation Of life has been heightened
during the past decades but it is only
the younger individuals who profit by
this practical result Of the advances
in medical knowledge.

cy.

and sufficiently well kept. The food
is quite sufficient. The speed is very
slow, however. and the stops at sta

1t is better for foreigner not familiar

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Fire destroyed several frame
houses situated on an alley between
Patterson and State streets last
Thursday night. The origin of the
fire is unknown, as the occupants of
the house in which the fire started
were away from home. The fire
burned rapidly as the houses were all
frame. After considerable delay an
alarm was turned in and the fire de-
partment made quick work of the
flames; but not until four or five
double tenement houses were burned
and Others badly damaged. The loss
is said to exceed $4,000. The houses
were all occupied by colored people
and owned by a white man named
Lindsey. Some of the occupants
lost all of their belongings.

After a South African Storm.

With the breaking of the day | went
outside. The country was u~nrecogniza-
Bile. The land and the scenery which |
had known for years were entirely al
tered. The very hills, piled high with
white hailstones, were a different
shape, and torrents of muddy water
poured down from all sides. And when
the red sun rose into a clear bright
sky the scene of ruin and desolation
was awful to look at. Buildings had
been hurled to the ground and were
nothing more than hills of hailstones.
A large dam I had spent two years in
making had been completely swept
away. In another dam which had re-
manned unbroken the hailstones had
accumulated and piled themselves up
over twenty feet in height. There was
not a sign of water In this huge dam,
just a huge pile of frozen hailstones.-

Turkey Test
1t Was Great, but 1t
Drove One Man to
Drink.

3 had been gazing long and ear
- nestly at the rows OF turkeys
hanging from the hooks of a
stand In Washington market,
and the poultryman begin to eye him
suspiciously. He did not look like a
thief, the mild look in his eye denoting
anything but the CLEAN of acquisition.
Still. his actions were not calculated
to inspire confidence.
Every now and then he would walk
up to the rack and feel a gobbler's
breastbone. then stand of and take
a side look at the fowl. moving around
presently and gazing at it from the 9TH
err side. In this way he would admire
it from all points of view and seemed
to derive immense satisfaction from
the observation.
The poultryman was fast becoming
nervous over these strange proceed
ings, and to put an end to his anxiety
as to the mans intentions he approach
ed him and asked:
"Well, sir. what can I do for your"
The man started and for a moment
appeared to be disconnected: but. recov-
ering himself somewhat. he ~blushingly
stammered:
"Why, you see. l don't quite know

ly replied the poultryman.
"Ye-yes-I suppose so. but l don't.

be quite sure of my ground before l
proceed"
The poultryman looked at him still
more suspiciously.

Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1908-11-06


1t is hardly to be supposed that on
that first expression of thanksgiving
in this country nor for many years fol-
lowing there was preparation of a
menu Of the feasting on the day of
celebration. And 1t is quite certain
that the yiands enjoyed were simply
excellent preparations by capable
housewives of the list Of the articles
that each provider possessed.
All people were producers to some
extent in the early days, growing
their crops in field or garden from
seeds brought chiefly from the British
isles. Among such seeds were those
of the pumpkin. 1t was cooked In va
rious forms, the most favored of
which was that of pies. the addition
of the pastry making the dish more
substantial and satisfying. Apple and
other tree fruit culture had not been
introduced in this country then and
was not, to a supply extent, until
much later. Consequently the pump
kin was all the more essential from
the dessert standpoint. - Brooklyn
