Apple Superstition,

The ruddy winter apple is much
used as a lovers test. Roman lovers
used to take an apple pip between
their fingers and thumb and shoot it
up to the ceiling. If the pip reached
its destination 1t was regarded as a
sign that their love was returned. An
other method once much used was to
throw the pip into the fire, uttering
the beloved ones name. If the pip
burst with a loud report 1t was a
good sign, but the love would not last
long If the pip burst silently
Many rustic lovers used to place the
pips upon their closed eyelids. If the
pips dropped when their eyes were
opened it denoted unfaithfulness.
Swiss maidens often follow the follow
ing custom; They buy an apple from
an aged widow-the uglier she is the
better-and eat half of it with salt
ed herring Just before the mystic hour
of midnight The other half of the
apple they place beneath their pillow
and prophetic dreams are sure to fol-
low.

On A Big Scale.

Messrs. r. X. and Walter Lambert
and Senator Owen have had quite a
number of teams at work preparing
their land for the immense crops they

was ever attempted in Hancock county
before. They will have under cultiva-

of the farms Of II. G. Smith and VIM.

Kitchen Stools.

Only the woman who owns a stable
kitchen stool knows the comfort of 1t.
If she has two or three, so much the
better.
They are not expensive articles, and
therefore it does not strain the house
keepers purse to provide her kitchen
with enough of them to make work
comfortable.
There should always be one to slip
under the kitchen table. 1t should be
high enough to put the worker in a
comfortable position for using her
hands. She will find herself using II
hours during the day that otherwise
she would have spent on her feet

something drawing at the elbow and as
if it would break open. The pain was
so great that could not sleep. / final

COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE.
Daily Handwriting and Greeting Con-
sumo Lot Of Time.

sumo a Lot Of Time.
1t was the third or fourth day out
from Santa Marta. Colombia, and early
in the morning when one of the South
American passengers came on deck.
Another South American arose from
his deck chair, extended his hand and
as the men shook hands inquired after
the health of the newcomer. HIS wife
and his children.
AS they had parted company only
about eight hours before in the smok-
ing room, this seemed like unnecessary
courtesy. The observer noticed that
this happened in the case of all the
Colombians on board, so he asked one
man about it.

he. ION the occasion of meeting a per-
son for the first time each day 1t is

Continuing. this man told of taking
a walk one day in Bogota with a mer-

on business and were to cover a dis
lance that might be made rather easily
in ten minutes. Because of the neces-
sary stops to make the customary in

ornamented with little bells sugges-
tive Of Easter bells, and have the
partners find each other by matching
the cards to see whose ribbons are
alike. The bells may be fastened to
the cards with ribbon bows. During
the card playing have mineral water
