Oldest Land I'm the world.

Stretching across Canada, north of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi, is range Of low granite hills
called the Laurentian Highlands, says
Charles ID. Stewart in the Atlantic.
These hills are really mountains that
are almost worn out, for they are the
oldest land in America, and, accord
ing to Agassiz, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water ON the face of the globe.
these mountains came up-a long ISL
and of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against its shores. None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance Of the tops
of the Alleghenies, which were the
next in order. Later the Rockies
started up. The United States grew
southwark from Wisconsin and west
ward from the Blue Ridge. An early
view of the country would have shown
a large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and long, thin tongue
of this primitive rock sticking down
from Canada INTO Minnesota, and
these two growing states looking out
over the waters az the mere begin
nings of mountain ranges east and
west. They we're waiting for the rest
of the United States to appear.

In the uncertain illumination of the

of Topic City appeared very attractive
in breezy, fluffy gowns and fetching
mantillas and they knew it pretty well
too. They like to have you look at
them directly and admiringly, and
they will not drop their eyes, says Out

a look of this kind-such a look as
would be considered extremely rude in
any American city-the chances are,
when you meet her on the next turn
you will be rewarded with q smile and
a challenge from the black eyes, and
If YOU have a sufficient stock OF nerve
in reserve you will speak to her and
pay her some complimentary remark
upon the first opportunity that offers.
This is good breeding and will not be
resented. Should you then become in
fatuated with the lady, you will search
out her home, visit her barred window
and NOPE under 1t for an hour or two
every morning: and If you impress
her favorably she viii make your heart
glad by talking with you through the
bars or dropping little scented notes to
you. Should you become real serious
YOU will hire a stringed band to ser
enade her at night, now and then. To
conform with the custom you should
start your band out at midnight and
let it play as long as your money lasts

bacon Hogs.

The bacon type of hog has been
developed under different conditions
and in sections where corn is not the
main farm crop. These breeds of hogs
come from parts where clover, peas,
barley, oats, wheat products and milk
all of which contain a relatively
lower per cent of fat forming elements
than corn. According to the view gen
orally accepted by Psychologists, the
fat which is stored in the body may
have its origin in the digestion of all
three classes of nutrients-proteids
carbohydrates and fats-of the food
The two latter, however, form the
main source of heat and fat storage in
all ordinary rations.
Continued feeding through many
generations on highly carbonaceous
food naturally might be expected to
beget a greater aptitude for the diges-
ton of such food, and, consequently,
greater tendency to fat storage in
the body. 1t is reasonable to believe
that any of the bacon breed of hogs
would lose their present Characters
tics if for a sufficient number of gen.
erations they were confined in the corn
belt Eventually they would develop
the fat-preducing tendencies of the
lard type That is a conclusion that
one would naturally come to.

The following snake sto-y was told
some years ago by a reputable citizen
of Arson County, the Charlottesville
Observer says. Driving along a pub
lie road one day he saw toad frog
crossing the road at top speed-hit-
ting only the high places and few OF
them. AS the frog disappeared in the
bosky underbrush on one side a black
snake in hot pursuit made its appear
ance on the other The story teller
followed the two into the bushes to
see what the result would be. He had
proceeded only a short distance when
he found the frog at bay, facing the
snake and with the latter circling
about in the effort to make an attack
from the rear His frogship kept
turning all the time, always facing the
enemy.
Tn reason OF this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth. held crosswise and about
the middle, a stick about the size and
length Of a lead pencil. The frog
knew the snake could not swallow
him so long as he presented such
front. The man watched the perform
ance for some time and when ne left
the snake was still circling the frog
and the latter facing its enemy on ev-
cry turn.

gloves becomes a question and the
result is their Punishment.
Chiffon bishop sleeves have a por-
ton of the uppers made of dress ma
terial. The noticeable puff and f1uting
at the hand have a tendency to make
the hand appear much smaller.
Picturesquely reminiscent of the
middle ages are the popular casquines,
made of corded silk. with short sleeves
and somewhat elaborate with jetting.
The skirts worn with jackets of this
kind are rather full
The skirt for street wear is notice
ably long, and the skirt of sheer gar
ments is also quite long. Modistes are
fast bringing in dresses that must be
slightly lifted at the hem in order that
the wearer may take a step. This
style made its appearance when Paris
muslins were adopted and the femi-
nine dress lovers were delighted with
the long, billowy white dress and blue
ribbons.

as great as burning the strawstack,

er says. The cob is especially rich

fierce heat of the cob fire indicates
much carbon, and chemical analysis
Will show the presence of phosphorus

fact, there is no waste material in
the cob. It is only little difficult

But there are two ways in which
this may be overcome. First, farm
err who had corn crusher can run
a load of cobs through it in a few
minutes, and thus render them avail
able to oxygen. Second. they may be
plowed under, more easily than any
other form of raw unrotted material
except sawdust; and here their slow
process of disintegration will be the
very thing desired. Nothing can be

A flannel bag or hot alt is very
useful and comforting, not only for
rheumatism, but for any muscular
pain.
Peroxide, the application OF which
sometimes prevents the growth OF SUI
per1uous hair, is apt to have an In
furious effect upon the skin by over
drying it.
To alleviate the effects of a blow
little ones often receive at play the
old-fashioned remedy of little butter
or olive oil rubbed on Immediately is
excellent 1t should be removed every
half hour for an hour or two.
AS a knock hard enough to bruise
the eye may cause serious trouble, one
should be careful when walking in the
dark in unaccustomed spots to protect
the face and chest by raising the arm
about to the level Of the nose and keep
ing it bent in front--of you.
Lemon being an astringent, 1t is par
ticularly good if the pores of the skin
are enlarged. 1t is excellent to rub on
the yellow line on the neck where the
collar ends. Be careful not to use
lemon juice too continuously, as it
sometimes hurts delicate skin.
The habit of grimacing overexer-
cises the mouth and draws imp easant
lines about it. The woman whose fam
lily tells her of this defect should count
herself fortunate, and endeavor con-
tinually to check these mannerisms
which threaten to disfigure her.
1t is foolish to put drops in the eyes
to give them an added luster, as this
will, in the course of time, if it is
kept up, almost entirely ruin the eye
sight. If the eyes feel heavy and tired
battle them with weak salt water,
either hot or cold This can do no
harm and will relieve the strained SEN

A homemade specific for tan and
sunburn consists of paste made from
magnesia and lemon juice. Apply to
the neck and arms by means of a

the bandage to remain on for several
minutes, then wash off in .tepid water
