Airsnip and Country Rssidsness.

It was noted sometime ago that many of the handson1est residences in Prila- defphia are a drug on the real estate market. Wealthy people now have their country estates. They go to the cities for the short social season, but instead of maintaining expensive establish ments live at the hotels As a result there is no demand for the great resi- dences of a few years ago. Tho ten- dency of people is, of course. to reside in the country if possible. They only go to the city because their business is there, and because they enjoy social intercourse. The advent of the auto mobile has made dt possible to live in the country, get into town every day for business, or come in to the theater. However this has only been possible in sections where there are good roads.
 If the aeroplane fulfills present prom isea it will be common in a few wars as the automobile is now. The condition of the roads will not then affect passenger transportation at all, however much it will be necessary to consider the state of the weather. Il is quite possible that the development of aerial navigation will solve the great problem of the urban move nnent People win insist on living in the country if they can do so com fortabIy and conveniently.-Charl News and Cour1ers 70

HOPKINTON.
George Davis Fractures Ankle by Fall
 from Staging.

Elmer A. Smith of Hope Valley, with two helpers, began Monday painting the Slocum house for the present own CT, Harriet c. Kenyon. After the noon hour a rotten jet to which the staging had been suspended gave way and precipitated the men to the ground, more than twenty feet. George Davis suffered a bad fracture of the right ankle. The others were not injured. Before arrang ements had been com- plcted for conveying him home Charles Perry of Westerly came along with a party in his big touring car. Stopping here to pick up Hon. E. R. Allen, he learned of the accident and bidding the occupants of the car remain here till his return he ordered the driver Of the machine to run it to the site of the mishap and. making the suffering man as comfortable possible, con- veyed him to his home in Wyoming.
 The picnic at the close of~the public school was held last Friday in spite of the rain.
 Native strawberries arc abundant and of good quality.

Q. Henry,s Short stOrIam

The late O. Henry wmS a born Seus'Y teller" It is e gift-'you have n oH you haven't it-and he had At. lntelAA@ Terce, experiencs. psychological 1n~ sight and all of those things count fon little. Partly it Is "A sort of boytshnesav a kind of fmperishabie youth, which makes it possible for a grown-up man to sit on a stool in a dairy restauranR and take the waitress just as sertous1 ly as he would take tho tariff or pOstale savings banks. The ethical gfdeS og things seem more important 10 most people as they grow older ann -settlo down." Even genius like Tolstod has come to consoder rather FRIVOLOUS anu unworthy the novels with which hia fame was made; and MT. Kipling ab- sorabed in tho responsible business or experimenting the British ennpdr@ could scarcely return Co Mllvaney ana Ortheris and Mandalay. The author or "The Four Million" would never have settled down. To the last he kept fresh his gifts of smiles and tears-the world always seemed O kindlier and moro amusing place after reading one oG his stories. Dozens of bright young men could freve blue -penciled question: able dictfon, taste, and even construc- tfon therein. He was almost preveras in his virtuosity at times, yet the gods were smiling over his shoulder even when he broke all ths rules. Some times he would elbow himsen right between his characters in the middle of a story to inform the reader, Joking iy that he wasn't telling 1t as it should be told. Yet even such artistic ybarbarisms were often & sort of clever boxer's trick. Suddenly out of hee1n- ing haphazardness came smashing in his effect. He had the "wallop," as prizehghters say.-Colliers.

How The Women Voted.

They had an election in Greenwich, in the steady old state of Connecticut, a few days ago. Greenwich is high class town; it has wealth and intelli- ? gence and culture. But it was not these advantages that made the re cent election especially interesting. It was Interesting because S1 Greenwich women had the right to vote, and the election was looked upon as an ob5ect lesson in equal suffrage. ConSequent- ly the returns were regarded with more than usual interest and commented up- on with varying degrees of fervor. Out of the s1 women who could vote 25 voted, or about 31 per cent. We are further informed that three women voters marked their ballots wrong, and three others voted the Democratic ticket.
 1t is possible that the best men were on the more popular of these local tickets. If they were not, then there were a good many more women who marked their ballots wrong. But, of course that is a minor consideration, and wihile--for all we know-the Wo- men who stayed at home favored Dem- ocrafic doctrines. the real lesson ot the election is found in the fact that but 31 per cent. of the feminine voters took advantage of the voting privilege in what was understood to be 6 test election.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Oldest Mummy.

Prof. Elliott Smith of the Universi- ty of Manchester declared the other day that the mummy of Tea-Nefer, at present in the museum of the Royal college of surgeons, is six centuries older than any other known mummy The body of Ra Meier. who was a high official in the court of Snerfrli, of the fourth dynasty (37O0 B. C.) was found by pr. Flinders Petria at Medium. Egypt.
 ''1'he curious thing about the num- my" Prof Smith stated "and the req son why 1t has preserved its present state is that it was encaSed 1n a thick layer of hard resin paste. It fs mummified in a different manner from those Egyptian mumnies belonging to a period some six centuries later, and ined."
 Well, 1t is something to be the oid- est mummy. although 1t is more to loo even the youngest living human.

A Good Fish chowdsr.

Editor Social Corner: They say a fool never changes his mind, but a wise man often does. and there must be some truth in it. Two weeks ago, MT. N. and wife, old friends, drove in to my back yard. His first word was What are we going to have fVr dinner?" I replied: Fish chowdery' He asked: Anything else?" I told him could get him some strawberries and bread and butter. and l did. Mrs. N. and I made our meal from the chowder. When half through MT. N. said: Give me just teaspoon of that stun-not over one spoon" He ate four saucers full. and pulled out an old lead pencil about two inches long and on letter wrote my way of making fish chowder: Five slices salt pork size of womans hand. rather fat, fried brown in the spider both sides; cut into dice, and push spider to back of stove; peel and slice a large quart of potatoes. two- thirds as many onions; have three pounds of fresh cod, or DOT gies:' put pork grease in bottom of kettle. layer potatoes. then onions, till all are used Place fish on top; a spoon of salt; some pepper: and salt pork dice: about two quarts ot boil ing water-cover tightly and cook quick the less water the better the chowder. When potatoes are done all arc ready to serve. Place three pilot breads on platter; remove fish care fully with two tin skimmers: pour top. Pouring a cup of warm new milk over all improves it.

Make . Hay Stove.

Editor Social Corner: It Is such an easy matter to have a hay stove that I am surprised that more women do not tighten their work by the use of one The way to do it is this: Line butter tub with asbestos to make it air tight. Tack the lining in smoothly. Pack m the hay tightly and hard. Burrow out hole in the middle to fit your kettle. Boil your soup briekly Is minutes; do not lift the cover, which must fit very closely. Cover the ket- tie with @ thick white cloth; transfer quickly to the prepared nest in the hay; cover with five or six thicknesses of newspapers. Lay a thick carpet or old comforter over all and by evening you will have a delicious soup. It should stand in the cooker from eight to ten hours. put my soup into the hay stove in the morning, vegetables and rice togther. By evening 1t is just ready to serve. Cereals may be cooked in the same way. Have oat- meal at boiling point: cook briskly for ten minutes; pack in the hay at pm. and in the moning 1t is ready to eat. Veal or lamb stew takes about four hours; beef stew, six hours; pot roast, eight; corned beef, from ten to twelve hours; navy beans require eight hours; macaroni and rice, two hours. These are all the dishes have tried thus far I have had my stove about two months and would not be without it.

BEAR HUNT In JAPAN.
inexperience and Rusty Guns Le@
 Nimrods to Disaster.

It happened on the 18th ult. shortly before sunset, that. some surveyorn acconpanied by laborers. were still surveying a field at Uyenal, tn Esasha- gun Hokkaido.
 While engaged in this work a bear made it's appearance from a cave near- by, and ambling threateningly toward the party. sprang upon one; of the worIxrnen who was in the act of run ming away The man escaped with a lacerated arm and the bear was Lett victor, the field being cleared of ita human occupants in a remarkable brief space of time.
 The incident came to the Imowledge of some nimrods, and some days later brudn was tracked to his lair. One of the gallant hunters fired, burt there ~was something wrong with his gun Unfortunately it did not go off: that is, went off, but in a rather irregular way the gun being rusty and the pow- der damp All these things, however only served to enI age bruin, who at~ tackled his endmies. Phe other huu- ter took the opportunity when the bearssattention was centered upon his companioa and fired his gun, but this weallon, too, was useless
 Th41 bear apparently now had both nen<Bt his mercy and i'm a short t1ma they were lying seemingly lifeless and mansaed on the ground. A passing mail car carried the vanunished hunxers to the nearest village, when one of the men seems to be on tho way to recovery under treatment but tha other died of his wounds-TfalodRta Correspondence Japan Advertiser q

The Bee and the Raee

Darwin demonstrated that the quan- tlty ot red clover in a place depended in large measure on the number of old maids" in the particular locality This way: The humble bee fertiIizes the clover, the great enemy of the humble bee Is the field mouse, which in turn. is tackled by cats which are the particular pets of old maiden ladies. It IS wonderful chain. The story is brought to mind by a lecturer in Lon don who has just been showing what a marvellous effect bees have on the human race. FOrmic acid, which no chemist can made, is obtained direct from the bees in America and used as cure for rheumatism, and in the hospitals honey is now employed as a valuable substitute for cod liver oil. The farmer and fruitgrower arc also immensely benefited. It is proved. says the lecturer (Mr- Herrod), that apples are earlier, larger and much more numerous where bees are in quantity. Stunted and misshapen apples are due, he says. principally to bad ferti1iza- ton. The California fruit growers failed in many instances, until bees were kept.

House of cenvenisnoe.

Editor Social Corner: Norwich needs better conveniences for rural visitore-women who come unattended to the city. If Norwich only had a building which might be called a House of Convenience" for the spec ial convenience of the many outsiders continually coming to NoxwioA on business, or for any lawful purpose whatever. A family might realde in 1t permanently, and tal0o care of the rooms to be reserved for the patrons. There should be . Sitt1ug room, or rooms with many comfortable chairs and touches, desh or table provided with all sorts of writing nnaAerfAls, also papers and magazines on . large table; one or two bedrooms might be provided. where one could get . nap or put 2 ctild to bed Curing . period of waiting.
 Light lunches might bs served h a dining room or room. and there should be plenty o< toalet conven- fences. euoh a place would natural iy be for women. but mon need not be excluded from the sitting rooms or dining roomR Tho house would be more helpful if in . place compara- lively quiet but also easily accessible.

Table Manners NeaIeeted.

Editor Social Corner: I have read the Social Corner letters and am much interested in them and wish to enter the Social Corner. The Social Corner letters are excellent and they improve each week.
 My subject you may think an odd one, but it is one that is neglected: that is. teaching children manners at the table. You notice boys who tip their hats to every lady they meet, often have hardly any manners at the table, Girls. too, who have nice man ners everywhere else. are just the same as the boys at the table. It always seems queer to me. the way table man ners are neglected, and I cannot help ing that attracts more attention among well-bred people than i'll man ners at the table.

Cleanliness is Next to codline,..

Editor Social Corner: I was very much amused by the delicate way in which 'Nebraskas called the attention of Arethusa" to the fact that
 cleanliness is next to god Hness is not q Bible Quo- tation- The trde utteranoe readst 'Cleanhness is indeed next to godli- ness' and was said in sermon No. 92, "On Dress" by the Rev. Charles Wes- ley; but cleanliness has been regard ed as a near-virtue from time imme- moria1; and virtue Is defined as the highest good" In the days of Gel Illus to enter the temple with un- washed hands and feet was to show a lack Of reverence for holy things. The Koran, chapter g, says: God loveth the clean" There is no doubt that Charles Wesley found the seed thought for this utterance in the scriptures, but confess I cannot verse and chapter 1t. Let us hope that Ne braska" will be able to. for enlighten- ment is the watchwprd of The Bulle- tins Social Corner, as interpret it.

How to Make a Rose Jar.


 Editor Social Corner: The month of June is the month to make a rose Jar or to recharge the old one. Only those who have lots of roses can make one, although the wild rose petals gathered would make the very sweet est. Gather the rose leaves each day, after the dew has >~dried from them, and pack them down in stone crock, with alternate layers of salt. Keep the jar dn 8 cool, dar4I closet. Every few days turn the contents out upon a tray and turn and toss to 3et the air reach all the petals. then fs- pack.

 Such a jar will when perfected. lend its fragrance to the house at any time when it Is opened. ROSA. N Norwich.

Anherisms on Love.

 "To please women one must adhere to only one" Women never come of age; reason irritates them. sentiment guides them"
 woman is like the dew. If it is a tear of dawn, fall of pure alabas- ter, it is a pearl; if it fall to earth, it is mud"
 When woman loves she pardons even crime; when she ceases to love she does not forgive even virtue"
 The coquette takes her desire to please for her need to love"
 "The first thing that women know is that they are beau utirul; the last thing they perceive is that they arc old.'

Good Health.

Editor Social Corner: In these days of n-mimrte-a-day reading. or half hour study for improving the mind. how many women make it a point to spend certain minutes" in rest to improve their nerves and their beau ty? Good health is of more import anoe than fntellectuality, for of what comfort to it's possessor, or to anyone else, is the most brilliant mind which lives in a weary or nervous body?
 Their wearineSS causes more trouble in the world than it ever gets blamed for. A rested person, other things being right, Is a pleasant one. While tired. person, under whatever ad- vantageous circumstances, is almost sure to be cross Many a family wrang1e has started from a few sharp words caused by overstrained nerves.

 While some voices declare the church Ineffective, another recognizes it's efficiency. Some members value the church for what they can get from it. be 1t salvation or culture. Others value it as an opportunity for the invest ment of their talents in service for the world
 The greatest heresy is to hold aloof from service
 Mission of the Church.
 The mission of the church is unioue In it's capacity for moral sturdiness, both in the field of politics and in social industrial and domestic co-op- poration.
 To fulfill this it's members must be morally strong themselves, must be in synipathitic touch with their fellow men. and in their various callings must be sources of power.
 A test for church membership should be a declared purpose to follow Christ. and. that no man hold himself back from service.
