The Sixteenth Century Carver.

At the formal banquet of the six
teenth century the man who carved
the meat was bound with the red tape
Of precedent. When carving for dis
tinguished guests be had to remenl-
Der that certain parts of the birds III
meat must be set aside. In carving
for his lord and lady he was expected
to exercise great discretion in the
size Of the pieces he sent round. ''foI
ladies' will be soon angry and theli
thoughts soon changed. and some lords
are soon pleased and some not. as the.
be Of complexion" He was expected
to have the rules both of the kitcbe,
and the peerage at his knife's END
A pike, for instance, must be dished
up whole for a lord and IN slices fCi
commoner folk. The rank OF his din
ers, too, determined whether pie
was to be served up whole, sliced
plain or with gold leaf or whether
new bread or bread three days Ole
should be eaten.

Members Of a Japsnese Hamlet.

Perhaps the most astonishing pres'n
tation Of Hamlet ever seen on aCr
stage was a Japanese version given =
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe ne;-
aid describes il us IA wonderful mis-
ture of the beautiful and the -
tesque. With III Ophelia sometimes il
graceful kimono and sometimes IN
western evening costume and king
who at one time appears in the pic
turesque costume CT Il Japanese noble
man and at others dons a silk hat and
swallowtail coat, the effect is So
kaleidoscope that spectator has the
sensation of being perpetually trans
ferred from one phase of civilization
to another. The climax is reached iT'
Hamlet himself, who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform Of a student
Of the Imperial university, in the third
act makes his appearance on bicycle
clad in bright blue cycling suit and
striped stockings. and at the finish is
seen in conventional evening dress
with a flower in his buttonhole."

Janet's Way of Growing Young.

/ As matter of fact, Janet was
born exactly two years before
her brother Fred; therefore in
the natura lcourse of things when
he was ten she was twelve and
glorified in it. When Fred was
known to be fourteen she still
confessed to sixteen. When Fred
bosted eighteen years she timid-
ly acknowledged herself over
nineteen. When Fred came home
from college and had a party in
honor of his twenty-frst birth
day Janet said to her friends:
What boyish fellow Fred is!
Who would think he is only a
year younger than I?' When
Fred declared himself twenty
five and old enough to get mar
ried Janet said to a gentleman
friend: do you know, / feel
very jealous of Fred getting mar
ried. But then | suppose twins
always are more attached to one
another. And two years later
at Fred's wedding she said, with
a girlish shipper to the guests,
Dear old Fred! To see him mar
ried today, and to think when he
was only five wears old they
brought him to see me, his baby
sister; wonder if he thinks of
it now. =

Ate Forty Eggs

They do things in Missouri as
the following from the Centralia
Guard would Indicate: 81. T.
Wooden, of Monroe county. was
the center of an admiring group
here this week when he settled a
wager between two parties by eat
ing forty scrambled eggs in elev-
en- minutes and had to wait for
the cook to bring him part of
the order, and lost some little
time in waiting for the eggs to
cool enough for him to eat them.
He offered to duplicate the feat
when he got hungry again. The
egg eating was the two Centralia
gentlemen as to the possibility Of
a man eating forty eggs in TWEEN
ty minutes. Judge Wooden was
sent for and prevailed upon to
settle the wager which it is said,
was $50. The Judge finished in
such ease that he finished the
last half dozen eggs brought him
by the toiling cook, mixed with
crumbled crackers.

a Hungry Rabbit,

81 do not think l was ever so non
plused in my life," said a conjurer,
"as once when performing my card
and rabbit trick. l ask member Of
the audience to tear a card into small
pieces and give them all to me except
one. Later in the trick l produce a
rabbit from a box. and tied round its
neck is a card with a piece missing. 1t
is then found that the piece which the
member of the audience holds exactly
fits and completes the second card. On
this particular. occasion / allowed the
rabbit to remain in the box too long

when the audience grasped the trick
the animal had played on me was loud

Selecting Your Seed Corn.


1t is not too early to commence
thinking about and talking about
our seed corn for next springs
planting. Unfavorable weather
conditions are reported toe have
greatly impaired the terminating
qualities of a large part of the
1909 crop and more than usual
care should be exercised this sea-
son in selecting seed corn. Other
wise many farmers may find that
their labor and expense of pre-
pairing and seeding the land is
practically wasted because of
failure of large part of seed to
terminate.
The international Harvester
Company, Chicago, through their
army of travelling men and
agents have been collecting in
formation on this subject. In a
letter just received from this
Company they say:
Eve are informed that in
many districts while the corn
was still in the field, late and
protracted wind and rain storms
were prevalent over the corn
belt, injuring the ears more or
less. 1t is belived that such I'M
favorable conditions would great
| ly lessen the terminating power
of the kernel if used as seed corn:
in fact, as many of the farmers
pick their seed corn from the
best ears on the stalks standing
in the field, it looks as though
many of them might either be
entirely without seed corn or be
Obliged to use a very inferior
kind. /"

says: Nothing futile and Some

young women are daughters Of
T. T. futile, a retired farmer.
Tuttle's first child, a girl, was
born in 1881, which was a dry
year. In order to commemorate
the year he named her Eighty
one. She is row the wife of Ru-
fus Jackson. The second child,
a boy, brought about a disagree

wife as to name, so they COM

Essay on Sunday School.

Sunday School is a useful or
ganization, tend to elevate our
minds morally and religiously
and to prepare us for useful
future.
There is no other organization
SO good as a well trained and we'll
working Sunday School. w e
should train the children in the
way we should have them go and
when they become old they will
not depart from it.
We should all be more interest
ed in our Sunday Schools and
train up the younger ones to pre-
pare to make useful men and
women, as the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself except it abide
in the vine. Just think of the
wonderful gift that God has give
US all
So let us build up our Sunday
School and train up the younger
ones to prepare to make their
future life a pleasant work for
God. The building up of Sunday
Schools is said to be adapted to
its intended use and will add to
the efficiency of our church.
Sunday School is for religious
intructions in connection with
the Jewish synagogues and also
among the early christians.
But the credit of founding the
modern system of Sunday School
belongs to Robert Raikes. The
Sunday-schooI has been blessed
of God with such a far reaching
influence in the redemption of
millions of individuals in the
ethical development of our Ma
tional life and in strengthening
aggressive christianity through
out the world.
The glory of life comes in
through its duties done, rather
than from its prize won. Let
our Sunday-School take on new
life and let many new ones be
formed to the end that our young
people may be benefited and pre-
pared for better service in the
church. Lula Holt.
