HAPPY MONTHS.
An Odd Custom Observed In England
at Christmas Time.


at Christmas Time.
Happy months" is the name applied
to the little mince pies made at Christ
mas time throughout England and
served TO any guests who may call ut
the house during the holidays
The saying is that for every one of
these tiny pies one eats happy month
will come during the year, only the
pies must be given to the one who
eats them.
When one calls at the house the little
pies are brought forth with Il glass of
wine or Il cup of tea, and, however
we'll satisfied one may already be as
regards ones appetite or how many of
these "happy month" pies he has al
ready eaten, it is considered q marked
breach of etiquette to refuse the little
pie, although one is allowed to take 1t
home and eat it later. This. however,
is not very often done, for who would
refuse the coming of happy month
by refusing to overtax the stomach for
just one more little pie?
In some parts of England these little
pies are literally made by the dozen,
so there will be plenty of them for
family and friends. They are made of
the richest of puff paste, too, which, at
the best of times, is an indigestible
goody, and the crust is filled with
mince meat filing that is even richer
than the crust.-Suburban Life.

Pure Feed.

The Feed Stuff Law of Pennsylvania
which was placed on the statute books
by the last session of the Legislature,
is being vigorously enforced in all
parts of the State, by the Department
of Agriculture through the Division of
Feeding Stuffs Control.
At the present time, the Department
has sampling agents who are visiting
food dealers throughout the State, and
securing samples which are forwarded
to Mr.. f. d. Fuller, Chief Chemist of
the Department of Agriculture, for
analysis. During the past six months,
the Chemist has found many brands of
feed, particularly those manufactured
in the western states, largely adulter
ated with ric hulls, which are injurious
to the health of domestic animals, ac-
cording to experiments carried on in
the Southern states. These rice hulls
are usually found in molasses foods, of
which there has been a large sale,
especially in Lancaster county and in
various sections of eastern Pennsyl-
vania. The results of the chemical
and microscopical examinations are re-
ported to the Secretary of Agriculture,
who orders prosecutions to be brought
against food dealers who are violating
the law. Mr.. G.. G. Hutchison, Gen
eral Agent of the Department of Agri.
culture, is in immediate charge of the
prosecution, and as result of numer-
Gus convictions that have been secur-
ed, several hundred dollars in fines
and analysis fees have been covered
into the State Treasury since August
1st, 1907 Many of these cases were
against food dealers residing in
Lancaster county and involved the sale
of a molasses feed known as Red Cow
Dairy Feed. There seems to be a dis
position on the part of the manufac-
turer to entirely ignor the act on our
statute books, and this brand of feed,
when it enters the state from the west,
is not only adulterated, but improper
ly branded.
Information has come to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, that the manu-
facturer of this particular brand of
feed, has ceased making this article,
and if it is true, it will not only be a
great relief to the Department, but also
will improve the food situation in
Pennsylvania. The chief objects in
the minds of those who are charged
with the enforcement of this act, are
not only that the law shall be complied
with, but also that the farmers shall be
protected against fraud and deception
in the food business.
Mr.. Hutchison recently made infor-
nation against local dealer in Mech
anicsburg, Cumberland county, who
was charged with selling large NUM-.
ber of brands in an illegal manner.
The hearings in these cases were set
for February 25th, but the defendant
waived hearing and paid the imposed
fines and COSTS This conviction will
have great moral effect upon the
trade in the surrounding counties and
we look for great improvement in
the food situation in this particular
vicinity. Word is being received from
certain manufacturing company,
that an article which was found in
abundance on our market two or three
years ago, is not sold at the present
time. This is due to the fact that as a
result of the educative movement, the
cheap feeds of very little value and
articles of quality.

British bred animals, whether they
be horses, cattle, sheep or even pigs,
are superior to all others in quality and

bred in our islands than are found in

The Sinnamahoning Liars Club

The Sinnamahoning Liars Club.
The club has revived again with
Chas. Snyder in the shair. Lots of
whoppers were sprung. One member
reported rainbow trout in Jerry Run
that is four foot long or so long that
there is not enough water for it to turn
round. Snyder said it could be caught
as soon as the season opens. Snyder
says he has caught many a one by
using cat for bait. Pap Blodget
and Batchelder were detailed to furn-
ish the bait, which will be undertaken
as soon as the snow gets down little,
four foot of snow being a little too
deep for the old fellows. Mont Peas
ley was fined six cents for using bad
language in the club room L. E.
Smith is suspended for 80 days for re-
fusing to tell anything but the truth.
The club has lost one of its most active
members-Frank Tice. We will be
glad when he returns. No further
business the club adjourned.

A PORTO RlCAN CUSTOM.
Prayers For the Dying Recited In the
Public Streets.

Public Streets.
"a few evenings ago while we were
at dinner in our hotel" writes an
American author visiting in Porto Rico,
I'VE heard the tinllling of a small bell
just outside the hotel doors. Instantly
Salvador, the waiter, stopped in the
little bustling run with which he waits
on the guests, hurriedly procured a
candle, lighted it and carried it out on
the balcony Almost as soon as that
candle was ON the balcony railing we
three Americans were beside it, ques-
tioning Salvador, for we We're sure
something unusual was going on.
1--WE saw Il procession of many peo-
pie, led by two priests, coming down
the street, each person bearing in his
hand a lighted candle. They stopped
in front of house facing the hotel,
and Salvador told us that somebody
was dying there and they were pray
ing for his soul. Up and down the
street as far as we could see on every
balcony railing was burning either a
candle or a kerosene lamp.
"From the absorbed interest of the
people gathered in front of open doors
and windows of the afflicted house the
sufferer was apparently trying to die
in full view of the spectators.
presently the bell began to ring
again, the procession formed once
more, and they all moved up the street,
Salvador telling us in explanation that
there was second person dying and
they Were now going to pray for him"
