THE MAGIC Of
THE. MODERN HOME
Wonderful Ingenuity Shown in Con-

Household joys
Where the Old Dutch Oven" Once

A man there was in a new home
who conducted series of expert
ments with various kinds of artificial
illuminants, but the results were ever
the same-his monthly light bills
were too high.
would that some one would invent
a way to bottle sunshine!" he cried
out in despair.
at is your own fault that your
light bills are too high retorted a
friend. Every night when you turn
on your lights a monster called Alb

niture and finshines are very dark.
They all combine to steal away most
of your light. You have to pay for
the actual light your lamps give, but
in reality you only get fifteen per
cent Of the light you pay for, because
you are being systematically robbed

Absorption is the great enemy of
light. 1t turks in every shadow and
bit of darkness ready TO eat up the
tender light rays. The best lamp in
the world cannot light up a room

And yet, light is fully as essential to
man as air and just as much care

Heat, the scientists tell us, is but
d form of energy consisting OF rapid
to and fro vibrations among the mole
cules of matter. Whether this ac-
cepted theory be true or not, the
average householder is ready to swear
that the heat supply in the modern
home is the result Of untold energy
represented by the dollars which vi
brate through the pocketbook to the
coal man. Fuel for heating the house
and cooking the floyd is very costly
item in the course Of a year. Ex-
travagance is a weak and puny word
to express the economic values of the
kitchen coal stove. Out OF every
hundred shovelfuls of coal thrown
into such d stove only the actual heat
energy of about six are used for cook
ing and baking. The heat from the
other ninety and four either goes
whistling up the chimney or is radi-
ated out into the room to make the
kitchen insufferably hot.
1t costs just as much to keep coal
fire for a family of two as it does for
family of eight, therefore the coal
fire is very economical in large famil-
les and very expensive in small famil-
les. About thirty years ago gas
ranges were introduced into the kit
chen, and since then they have held
their own more because of their
cleanliness and hardness than for
their real saving in actual cash.
When you come to compare the gas
bills of a family Of three or four with
the coal bills of a similar family for
a period of one year the difference is
very slight. Both have their advan-
tages and disadvantages Several
years ago the scientists noted that
electricity was the only form of en-
ergy which could be instantly changed
into heat with practically no loss.
This led to the development of the
electric cooking devices which are AZ

himself is thus spoken Of: HE got

There is nothing worse than too

A great many proverbs express the
spirit of. resignation that is so pc
culiarly Gaelic. God makes the back

but it might be worse "That which
seems for your worst may really be

everyone that God ordained that he
should have silver spoon in his
mouth" "Every man has his own
little bad luck awaiting him." Re-
signed though he be there is a pa
tient hope always in the Gael. "The
greatest war that ever was someone
came safe out of it," God never
closed one gap that He did not open
another "In the end the better

religious significance. "The help of
God is always nearer than the door,"

Other proverbs express the value of
good health. "Take care of your
health, for if you lose it you will be
other people," "a good laugh and a
long sleep-the two best cures in the
doctors book" Health with poverty
is better than herds on the hill" There
are number of wishes expressed by
these old sayings. When a person
has done an action that is disap-
proved of, it is said: May you be
nothing the better OF it at the end
of the year." A sweeping imprecation
is MAY nettles and chickweed flour

greater number have been taken down
as living sayings from the lips of
Irish speakers themselves.
1t is impossible that these proverbs,
fresh as they mostly are with the
life of everyday speech, should not
give an insight into the minds of
those who use them. They show the

PRICES UP In ALL COUNTRIES.
Statistics Show Advance in Meat
Figures Throughout World.

The advance in the price of meats
in the United States in recent years
seems to correspond, in a measure at
least, with conditions which have
caused increases in meat prices
throughout the world, not only in
those countries which do not produce
much meat. but also in Argentina,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and
other countries which produce a sur
plus for export. The government has
gathered some interesting statistics
upon the subject. 1t is found that the
advance in the price of fresh meats is
less than in sailed and preserved
meats, and in nearly all cases the adj
vance has been less in beef than in
pork or mutton
In Australia beef preserved by cold
process advanced in export price from
s523 per 100 pounds in 1899 to $40 in
1908, mutton and lamb from $3S2 per
100 pounds in 1899 to S6.47 in 1908.
From Canada the value of fresh beef
exports advanced from an annual aver
age of 6.1 cents per pound in 1898 to
So cents in 1909, that OF mutton from
81 to 11.2 cents; pork from 3.3 to 8
cents and butter from ISL cents to
"a cents.
All the European cities show, wher-
ever statistics are available, higher
wholesale prices in the local markets.
In Moscow, Russia, beef OF the first
pound from Sc cents in 1908 to IL
cents in 1908. Berlin shows an ad.
vance in beef from 1872 in 1896 to 16.5
cents in 1908, pork from 1928 to 1913
cents.

Trade is still irregular, and spring
trade is rather backward in developing
at many points. Weather conditions,
flooded streams and bad country roads
are variously assigned as reasons for
the hesitation shown in various lines,
but back of all these there is an I'M
deniable feeling of conservatism, bred
of the uncertainty regarding the recep-
ton to be given higher-priced products
by the ultimate consumer Recorder
trade in spring goods by jobbers is not
especially large and business at first
hands is held back, pending clearer
views of price matters and crop pros
poets. Collections are widely quoted
as slow.

MOB RULES DALLAS, TEXAS.
Takes Aged Colored Man from Court
and Put Him to Death

and Put Him to Death.
Snatched from before the par OF
justice. where his trial on the charge
of criminally assaulting 2-year-old
white child was about to begin, Allen
Brooks. an aged negro, was lynched
in Dallas, Texas, by mob of 5000
men,
Brooks was seized in the courtroom
by fifteen leaders of the avenging mob
and was tossed through a window TO
the main body, which waited like n
pack of ravening wolves for their
prey. in the street below. His broken
body was dragged through the streets
and he was hanged to the Elks' arch,
high above the heads of the avenging
negro. With it all hardly loud word
was spoken, not shot was fired, and
above the dull murmurings of the mob
could be heard the aged negro's pierre
ing shrieks for mercy.
After Brooks was hanged Dallas for
nearly three hours was in the hands OF
the mob. The jail was stormed and
death was threatened to three other
negroes, held on charges of murder.
They had been spirited away, how
ever, and after searching for them in
vain the mob dispersed.
The crime for which Brooks paid the
penalty was one of the most brutal in
the history of Dallas. His victim is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs NJ. j.
