A New Way to Can Tomatoes.

Last summer | tried a new
method of canning tomatoes, and it
proved so satisfactory that l want
to pass it on. Scald and peel the
tomatoes as usual. Have the cans
sterilized, place the raw tomatoes
in them whole, pour in boiling
water TO fill the cans, running a
knife around in the cans, so that all
the crevices are filled. then put on
the cover. Place the cans in a
boiler or large vessel, pour in
boiling water till it reaches the
neck of the can, put the lid on the
boiler, wrap it with a blanket or
rug, and leave until the water is
cold, which viii, be next morning.
The cans are then ready to put
away. l did not lose a can out of
forty quarts. When the cans were
opened, the tomatoes were whole
and firm enough to slice easily

New Rugs from Old Carpets.

I'm almost every home there are
usually to be found some carpets
that because of either sha obiness or
extreme ugliness have been ban
ished to the attic" says Woman'S S
Home Companion for September.
These can be turned into a most
attractive kind of rug. The car
pets are sent to the maker, who has
them cleaned and raveled and then
woven into a soft, fluffy surface of
nondescript tone, with border of
contrasting color. These fluff rugs
are among the best of the cheap
rugs and do not look cheap at all,
and it is a pleasant surprise to see
how many useful and charming
rugs can be made from a seemingly
hopeless old carpet. To have them
made costs about one dollar a
square yard, making the twelve
by.nine size cost twelve dollars.
The maker usually pays express
charges one way.

North Pole Still Unbound.

The second attempt of Walter
Wellman to sail over the North
Pole in an airship ended in failure
last week. Mr.. Wellmar with two
companions, started from Spitzber-
gen in the giant dirigible balloon
America" but had traversed only
thirty-two miles when broadside
wind sent the ship rolling and
tumbling over the ice. The balloon
and its occupants were brought
back to Spitzbergen.
Mr.. Wellman now states that he
is more determined than ever to
reach the Pole, and will build a
new ship, longer and narrower
than that which met disaster, and
of higher speed. The next attempt
will be made upon the completion
of this airship.

To THE COLUMBIAN.
Not that it is very important,
but that the facts may be known
and noted, permit me to correct a
notice in Tie C0lnm6ian of last
week, concerning myself:
John G.. Freeze was born at the
mouth of Loyal Sock creek in Ly-
coming county, at the grist mill OF
Gen. Burrowes, on Nov. 4, 1925.
In the course Of time and its
changes, we found ourselves at
Kownover's Mills, at what is known
as Exchange, but almost all of
which has been built since our adj
vent,
But Exchange being the oldest
point at which our recollections of
places are comparatively definite,
our excursions are to that point.
The birth place of Mrs. Freeze
having been at Washingtonville, a
few miles below Exchange, we were

THE STROLLER.
[Continned from lst page1

The sight, therefore, of a cabin,
was a welcome one, and the pedes-
trians made bee line for it in the
hope of quenching their thirst at a
spring.
I'VE amt got vesy good water,
here, no sir" answered the wood
man who appeared from behind the
building, "but yc kin try the spring,
sir"
The spring provedOto be frog
pond, alive with the ampribians,
and green on the surface. Disap-
pointed and still thirsty, the pair
trudged onward to Lake Jean,
tfence up the mountain to the
Lookout.
This is wooden tower built by
Colonel Ricketts, on the highest
point Of North Mountain, Proba-
bly, no view, in Pennsylvania, at
least, is more extensive than that
which stretched out before the
Stroller and his companion when
they reached the top of this tower.
To the north and west were the
chaotic ridges of the North Noun
tains; to the south lay the valley of
Fishing Greek; while to the east
the lowlands ran off to the Susque-
hanna and beyond, showing up the
greens and browns, darkened here
and there by cloud.shadows.
After feasting their aesthetic
sense, the physical sense reminded
the travellers that they had eaten
nothing for seven hours, so they
turned their attention to the pack
age with which Mine Host at Cen
tral had supplied them:
"Shades of Buddha p groaned
the Stroller between his parched
lips, as the wrapper fell from the
lunch. More ham, and no water"
"Make a noise like a spring, and
you'll feel BETTER" remarked Billy
encouragingly.
They finished the meal and start
ed on the last stage of the journey.
back toward Lake Jean, then down
the ravine through which flows the
headwaters of Fishing Greek Moth
ing but tangle of huge logs piled
in confusion in a dry water course,
with here and there a sluggish pool
gave indications of the torrent
which had coursed through the ra-
vine before the drouth.
On down they ramblcd, down a
thousand feet, until they reached
the valley where the Stroller rejoic-
ed at the sight of a cold spring
which he proceeded to drain.
The afternoon was we'll advanced
when a distant whirr told them
that they were nearing the saw mill
at Jamison City, having put twenty
miles behind them since early morn-
ing. Entering that village, they
mingled with the natives until train
time.
AS the Stroller settled himself
into a seat in the B. & S. coach
and started back toward his desk
he murmured to himself those
words of Byron, ITO me high
mountains are a feeling, but the
hum of human cities torture"

Farmers Advised TO Raise Terrapin

The PHilaaeLbhia PHbHc LeGger
says:
William i. Meehan, State Fish
Commissioner, has new industry
for farmers which they may fall
back upon III lean years. He was
seen at his home in Germantown
yesterday, and talked enthusiastic
ally about raising certain product
which would rise above drought
and could not be drowned. Such a
product IS none other than fresh
water terrapin. which is about the
only farm product that can be said
to come under the supervision of
the Fish Commissioner.
Already there are terrapin farms
in Maryland, and one is said to be
run by a woman, who is doing
proverbially well" But these
farms are for saltwater terrapin-
the diamond back-which are be.
coming so scarce that Mr.. Meehan
thinks there is ample room for the
fresh water variety to slip into the
market and bring good price. He
says that even now when you
think you are eating diamond back
and paying the price there is an
even chance that you are eating
green legs, which are the fresh
water variety.
He said he began to think along
this line tw0 years ago, when he
took into consideration the grow
ing scarcity of the saltwater terra
pin and wondered what could be
got as substitute. Also, the fresh
water species was growing scarce,
because the American public was
SO easily fooled that certain restau-
rant keepers called green legs
diamond backs. He said that when
it became known that green legs
tasted like diamond backs the
handwriting was on the wall for
the green legs.
So, as Fish Commissioner and
this was two years ago-he im-
pressed into service a lake, which
was located in the vicinity of Tor
resdale, and began to experiment
with the propagation of green-leg
terrapn. But he made the mistake
of surrounding the lake with sand
and green legs dislike sand. Conse-
quently, that years work was
failure.
But this summer he found
another lake, also in the vicinity
of Torresdale and tried his luck
with red legs. 1t seems that red
legs are more heady than green
legs and more easily procured, and
they taste about as much like the
eXpensive diamond back as green
legs do.
This year he eliminated the sand
and accepted natures handiwork
as boundary for the lake, which
was yellow clay and grass. And
Commissioner Meehan announces
that the experiment is an unquali-
fed success, that the red legs have
laid, and for all he knows have
hatched as we'll. He will be able to
know whether or not they have
hatched next year as the young
have such a fondness for the depths
of the pond that they refuse to
come to the surface even for sun
bath.
He hopes that this experiment
will demonstrate that it is possible
to raise red-leg terrapin, and once
it is demonstrated any farmer can
dig lake and become a producer
of product quoted at So dozen.
Mr.. Meehan said he recently
learned that there was a terrapin
farm near Chestnut Hill
