CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO

1t was way down south in MeXi-
co that Caraminta lived-down
where they never have Christmas
trees like ours, but 'pinatas in
stead. These 'pinatas" are paper
boats, horses or maybe huge paper
dolls of different kinds, filled with
presents.
Caraminta's mother made last
year the quaintest 'pintat," just
like dainty little dancing girl
From her skirts and arms floated
gay streamers of tinsel, bright col
ored paper chains and even some
tiny bells dangled from her toes
like the girl of Mother Goose fame.
That Christmas eve Caraminta
was told to invite some of her lit
tie friends in, and how delightedly
they ran into the room where the
gay pinata girl hung from the cell
ing! Taking hold of one of the
ribbon streamers, Caraminta pull
ed it. There was sound of tear
ing paper and the next moment out
sEowered the gifts of toys. candies
and fruits.
Musicians We're there playing on
their queer stringed instruments
for the older people to dance, while
the children had great fun playing
with their new toys and eating the
dainties showered on them by the
''pintat." 1t seems to me that is a
pretty nice sort of Christmas tree
after all. Don't yeu think so, too?

water and a scant half teaspoonful

steam washes the candy from the
sides of the pan. AS soon as the
candy is cooked sufficiently to ball
when dropped in cold water, take
from the fire and pour on an oiled
platter. When cool enough to han
die. pull until light colored. 1t
should be a little sticky when you
begin to pull. or it will not be the
right consistency later. Now place
on a slightly floured board, stretch
into long, narrow. shape, then fold
in the center of strip of French
fondant Roll into sticks three
quarters of an inch in diameter,
and with APP air of shears cut off

maple sugar into pieces and put on
the fire with one cup of milk. Add
tablespoon butter and cook until
a little dropped in water becomes
brittle. Take off the fire and stir
until it begins to granulate about

Tornado Destroys Arkansas Town.

Little Rock, Ark, March 9.-Vague
reports indicate that great damage has
resulted from a tornado which swept
through a portion of this state last
night. In this county one person was
killed and a number are reported to
have been injured, while the property
loss is large.
To sothern and eastern Arkansas
all communication is cut off because
of a prostration of both the telegraph
and telephone wires isolating Hot
Springs, Pine Bluff and a number of
smaller town. Near Baucum, a Cotton
Belt passenger train, which is hours
late, is reported to have been swept
from the tracks
The tornado crossed the Arkansas

The Anti-suffrage association of New
York has asked Gov. Hughes to ap-
point women on state boards, asserting
that women of intelligence and judg-
ment can render good public service on
educational and reformatory boards.
The association asks that the appoint
ments be made as soon as possible,
naively adding that such appointments
might AFFORD an outlet to the energies
OF women and their present interest in
public matters which would obviate
the question OF unrestricted suffrage.
AS this seems to be the milk in the
cocoanut for this sudden demand for
the recognition Of women in public
matters, says the Baltimore American,
the suffragists will doubtless repudi-
ate with scorn such a palpable sop to
Cerberus.

Insist on Stable CIeanIiness.-In the
production of commercial milk, the
dairyman must not only keep himself
and his cows clean, but he must not
draw the milk from the COW in a
stable filled with dust He never
should feed hay before milking. He
should not feed grain nor disturb the
bedding before milking l may get
into an argument in regard to this
statement, declares writer in Orange
Judd Farmer for there are those who
claim that the stable should be
cleaned before the milking is done
maintain not, for you know the more
you disturb some things the worse
they smell. The dairyman must not
feed silage before he milks, for if con-
tamination of the air of the stable oc-
ours with the acid odor of silage, the
milk will certainly be tainted 1t may
not be detected at once, but the city
neighbor who attempts to use this
milk 4S hours old, will certainly detect

They were broken under the super
vision Of the department of applied
mechanics. Every effort was made to
secure a very accurate test. The points
of contact in the machine were made
exactly the same for all bones of the
same class, though for short bones
like the humerus the bearings were
necessarily closer than in the femurs
and the radiuses and ulnas. In two
instances bones which were found to
have been previously cracked were re-
jected. The results are shown in ia
bic l.
Although this machine did not break
the bones with a blow, such as might
be expected when broken in the anil
NAL, they were all broken under exact
ly the same conditions and hence their
relative strength could be carefully de-
dermined.
1t will be seen from this table that
there is a gradual increase in the
strength of these bones per hundred
weight of hog and that the greater
strength is not matter simply of the
moro rapid growth and heavier weight
of the pig resulting from these supple
mentary feeds.
The laboratory examination of these
bones also reveals a marked difference
in the thickness of the walls as shown
by the X-ray photographs.
The laboratory tests have also
shown that there is no apparent in
