Tea Tabse Etiquette.

Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated In tho days of that "har.
dened and shameless te'. drinker,' -
DR.. Johnson, when many people
thought nothing of drinking ten or
twelve cups at sitting. 1t was con.
sidered proper for the cups and sau-
GERS OF party of tea drinkers to be
all passed up to the hostess In one
batch when replenishment was con.
sidered necessary, and in order that
each person might be sure of getting
back the right cup the teaspoons we're
numbered.
When the cups were passed up those
who did not require any more were
supposed to place the spoon in the
cup This writer remembers a very
ancient dame teaching a small boy to
place his spoon In his cup after the
first cup had been emptied. He won
dered for the reason. Now he knows
that tea was once very expensive and
little boys were not expected to ask
again.

TELEPHONE EXTENSION
Orange County Company Planning to
Enter Montpelier

Montpelier, July 31.-The direct lrs
Of the Orange County telephone com
pany making plans for entering the
city from another direction which will
give many patrons of their company
service in this city. II nas asked for
a permit to run a line of poles from
the town line on the MiddleseX road
to Bailey avenue where 1t. has poles.
The company expect this fall to run
line of wire through Middlesex vii
lage. Already a good many people in
Montpelier have signified their inten-
ton of purchasing telephones of that
company and the work would have
been done last fall but the company
did not believe it best at that time.
Conditions are different now and 1t is
stated that enough to making II pay
ing proposition, want the service. 1t
Is not the purpose of the company at
present to build a line through Mid
dlesex center but it is rather expected
that this will be done next year at
least, which will give much better ser
vice to the people in that section.
G. W. Andrews WAC has been run
ming line in Mad river valley is
ready to connect with the Orange
county line at Middlesex ana will run
his lines from Moretown to the last
named village for that purpose. He
has been working on his lines in that
section all the year and has at pres
ent over 100 telephones in Waitsfield
and Warren. He has an exchange at
Warren employing an operator. The
company is willing to run its line into
this city on the pole with other com
panies if 1t will be any convenience.
With the raise in price on the Yer
mont company lines in Middlesex the
farmers believe that the new company
can give better service.
Mr.. Andrews has an arrangement,
whereby conversation is carried on
with patrons of the Rochester tele-
phone company, which was two weeks
ago granted a permit to enter Rutland
city and is building its lines there so
that as soon as that is completed SER
vice will be given from here to Rut-
land by belonging to the company.

one foot deep. with perpendicular
sides. in which the locusts are driven
by men beating the grass and trees
with switches. In this way millions
are collected and are destroyed with a
solution OF strong lye soapsuds. The
trench is then refilled with earth SO as
to allay the odor.

L food has delighted the palate
of man, and perplexed his mind.
Truff1es are the daintiest of the tubers. They
possess an exquisite flavor and delicious
perfume At the same time, they are mystery.
They make dish that IS at once nourishIng
and stimulating. But no man has understood
the manner of their growth.
There have been theories plenty; but none
that was convincing. Theophrastus regarded
truffles as freaks of nature. He was of the
opinion that they resulted from happy COM
bination OF warmth damp. and claps OF thun-
der. He doubtless right as to the first
two but as to the third there is occasion for
doubt Later investigators declared that
truff1es were the product of the sap OF tree
roots. A certain fly common to regions where
truff1es are found pricks the roots, and the
sap that issues forms the tubers Others were
sure that truff1es gals, like the oak gals.
1t is only recently that scientists have at
tanned to the knowledge that trutfieS are really
underground mushrooms, or, to speak more
learnedly, subterranean saprophytic fungi.
But it was patient and scholarly French
botanist who at last solved the battling mystery
Of the tuber's manner of termination and
growth. This student, de Grammont de
Lesparre, believes that his discovery clears up
the whole matter
Each truffle, IS we'll established, is made
up of a mass of microscopic cells, called asques.
Each of these contains from one to four germs
or spores. Now, 1t has been demonstrated
that these spores never develop while remain

have their origin. Their termination begins
only after they have been transferred To the

She Wasn't Much But
T STOPPED one rainy summers night at a
roadside farm house in Connecticut was
attracted by big warm barn where | thought
| might find shelter for myself and my wheel.
After awhile the hired man came out to milk
the COWS. He was a big, raw boned, good
natured fellow, and his hands had corns on the
inside and warts on the out; but he did know
how to coax the milk from those cows, and
while he was doing the milking he told me the
story of his life. After exchanging condolences
in this way his hospitable disposition moved
him to invite me over to the house to spend the
night with him. He said he did not have an
extra bed, but that | might sleep with his son.

in the hay loft; but he would not hear of the
suggestion.

Then he added with humorous and re-

1t struck at the time that the remark
was just and of considerably wider application
than he gave it. Most wives would be better
than they are if they were not handicapped
by the men who married them.

There are times in the lives of most of us when
