A COURSE OF DINNERS.
1t Includes Roasted Peas as a Subst
tute For Coffee.

1t Includes Roasted Peas as a Substi-
tute For Coffee.
In a little book called "The Econom-
ical Housekeeper," published about the
year 1910, there is given on one page
"a Course of Dinners For a Week"
AT the time of it's publication the little
book was most popular, as is proved
by the authors preface to the second
revised edition. She says:
Encouraged by the very favorable
reception that our humble labors have
met in the rapid sale Of the first edi-
ton Of 1900 copies in about fifteen
weeks, and the demand still continu-
ing, we have improved the time by en-
deavOring to make the present edition
more worthy of patronage, if possible,
than the first"
Therefore it is probable that the
'course Of dinners" which follows was
considered admirable at that time:
'Monday-Tea, coffee or cocoa, with
mincemeat, bread and butter in win
ter, bread and milk in summer.
Tuesday Boiled dish, with apple
dumplings.
dnesday-Roasted or baked meat,
with bread pudding.
Thursday roiled steak or fresh
fish, with baked rice pudding.
''Friday-Baked BEANS, with baked
Indian pudding.
saturdays Salt Goldfish boiled, with
apple pie.
Sunday-Morning, hashed fish and
coffee; noon, bread and butter, cheese
pie doughnuts."
1t is a suggestive paragraph which
appears on the same page:
peas, roasted and ground, are an
excellent substitute for coffee, and you
would hardly know which is best

OLD TIME PUNISHMENT.
Agony Of Day In the Stocks For a
Fit of Bad Temper

A9ony or 3 LAY IN the stocks For
Fit of Bad Temper.
A record on file in the library of con-
greSS contains an account of the adj
ventures of a certain Hubbard, who
was sentenced in Boston to the stocks
for having INDUCED in an unwarrant-
able fit of i'll temper, says Harper's
Weekly. When he had taken his seat
for the day there came along a drove
of swine, which seemed to cast upon
him those leering looks that only fat
pig can bestow. A dog followed, sniff
ing at the prisoners feet and making
feints- unpleasantly approaching real
ity-of biting him. Then a cock, mount
ing to the very top Of the stocks,
crowed his derision upon the victim
below, and presently rough fellow,
after indulging in ugly taunts, threw
at him fetid toadstoOls and a dead
snake
Then an Indian appeared, who in a
drunken rage, stimulated by some fan
cied injury, rushed at Hubbard with
a tomahawk, probably intending moth
ing worse, however than to give him
a severe fright, which he certainly sue
ceeded in doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-
ter, for at that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at
tention was attracted by the stocks,
and with roar he prepared for
charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage
dashed off. The bull made dash at
the stocks and carried away the cor
ner post, but without even grazing the
object Of his apparent wrath. Whether
he was disguised by the little he had
accomplished or his animosity was
thus satisfied, he started off, believing
and shaking his head, much to the re-
lief of the said Hubbard.
And then the unfortunate man was
left in comparative peace to his own
meditations and the cutting sleet of a
November day.

Insect Wonders.

Nothing can exceed the perfection of
the minutest parts of the insect or
ganization in general. The finest
strand in a SPIDERS web, which can
scarcely be seen, is said to be COM
posed of no less than 1000 threads.
On a single wing of a butterfly have
been found 100000 scales and on that
of a silkworm moth 100000, each Of
these minute scales being a marvel of
beauty and completeness in itself. So
thin are the wings Of many insects
that 10000 placed over each other
would only be a quarter of an inch
thick, and yet, thin as they are, each
is double

Value Of the kangaroo's Tail.


SO important is the kangaroo's tail
in his rapid progress that experienced
hunters with guns are accustomed to
fire at the point where this appendage
joins the body, when, the tail being
disabled for it's office of balancing, the
animal is as effectually stopped as if
hamstrung. Hit elsewhere, except
with rifle bullet or at point blank
range, the kangaroo is pretty likely to
get off. One popularity of the kanga-
roo is that, after being started up, he
very rarely swerves from his course,
through which popularity he is easily
''potted' by hunters, who conceal
themselves while a man on horseback
drives the herd toward them.

Inspect Farm Sites.

Ten of the sites offered for the pro-
posed county. agricultural school were
visited and inspected by Dean Harry
L. Russell of the University of Wis
consin agricultural college, State Su-
porintendent G. P. Cary, and the spe-
cial committee from the county board.
The Wells farm was one of the first
inspected, and the committee, with the
two visitors, went over this very care
fully Other sites inspected were in
West Allis, Lake, Greenfield, Cudahy
and South Milwaukee.
In about week or ten days another
trip will be made through the north
ern part of the county.
AS TIE school will be constructed
under the joint supervision Of the
state uniyet sity and the county board,
Dean Russell will take an active in
terest in al the preliminary work. His
expert knowledge and his long ex-
perience fit him best of all those in
terested to select the site best adapt
ed to the requirements of the school,
and the final choice of a site will be
left largely with him.

POWER NDMENT
MAY Be SUBMITTED
VOTERS NEED NOT AWAIT SEC.
OND ACTION OF STATE
LEGISLATURE.
AT THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
Secretary of State Frear Will Submit
to the Voters the Amendment to
the Constitution Proposed by
the Legislature of 1907.

Madison.-Attorney Gilbert notified
Secretary of State Frear that the pro-
posed water power amendment to the
state constitution should be submitted
to vote Of the people at the Novem-
Der election, Notwithstanding that the
measure has been acted upon by the
legislature but once.
An amendment to the constitution
requires two passages OF the legisla-
ture and the sanction of a majority
of the voters of the state in a regular
election.
This amendment has once passed
the legislature and came up a second
time, when action was deferred pend
ing the report of special committee.
The committees report having
been submitted and the second action
not having been taken the question
arose whether the amendment could
be submitted in the election next No
vember
The attorney general held that the
second action of the legislature might
follow the election, and also pointed
out that there is slight possibility
of special session.
1t was necessary to decide the ques-
ton at this time in order to make
preparations for the election.
Secretary of State Frear will there
fore submit to the voters at the No
yember election the amendment to
the constitution proposed by the legis-
lature Of 1907 and now pending before
the legislature of 1909, providing that
the state may appropriate moneys
for the purpose of acquiring, preserv-
ing and developing the water powers
and forests of the state; but there
shall not be appropriated under the
authority of this section in any one
year an amount to exceed tWo-tenths
of one mill of the taxible property of
the state, as determined by the last
preceding assessment"
Thus the matter is temporarily de-
termined. If no special session of the
legislature of 1909 is held, then, even
If the people vote their approval, the
amendment falls and the purpose ar
rived at in the proposal can only be
brought about by beginning all over
again, passing a resolution through
two legislatures and again submitting
it to the people. Should there be a
special session of the legislature after
the November election, then there
might be a question as to whether
the approval of the people, given be-
fore legislative action, would make
the amendment good That might be
a question for the supreme court.

Few Mushrooms Found.


The members of the Wisconsin
Theological society had "scant pick
ing during their Saturday and Sun
day outings, and as a result the speci-
men table was not burdened at a
meeting, in the trustees room of the
Public museum. The meager display
included a group Of the giant clitocybe,
a poisonous variety, having a deep
orange color; small group of the
honey mushroom; several specimens
of paneolous; one or two fronds Of the
oyster mushroom; and fungi that
were too far gone for identification A
botanist brought in several specimens
of squaw root, a parasite which grows
from the roots Of the pine. The
members of the society are amused
over reported discoveries Of strange
fungi, due to discussion Of common
varieties which, because Of atmos-
pheric or other influences, are not
typical in form and color. Discoveries
of strange fungi are few and far be-
tween, nowadays, owing to the dill
gent searches Of wood and field by
students Of mycology during recent
years.

Finds Chickens With Tuberculosis.

Finds Chickens With Tuberculosis.
tuberculosis in chickens has been
found in five cases this year by the
state hygienic laboratory at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. In no case,
however, has it been proven that peo-
pie have contracted the disease
through eating such fowls.
ut is quite evident that the chick
ems get the disease by pecking about
in barnyards where there are COWS or
people infected with It," said Dr.
M. P. Ravenel, director of the labora-
tory, recently. 1--WE had chicken
sent US not long ago from the neigh
borhood of GAINESVILLE. We found the
bird had tuberculosis, and upon visit
ing the farm it had come from, dis
covered nearly every animal in the
entire dairy herd there badly infected.
Few cases of the disease among
fowls have been reported hitherto,
only two or three having been known
in the United States until thig year"

to know, II was declared. why the cost
of foods TO the consumer ~ greater
aud whether the farmer. the middle
man or the retail merchant is to
blame. The inquiry * directed toward
the increased prices OF butter. eggs.
milk, apples. potatoes and other com
mon or garden fruits and vegetables.
Secretary Wilson began this inquiry
because he did not believe that the
farmers of the country were receiving
higher prices than they should get for
their products. as had been said by
many SO called authorities who wished
TO explain the higher cost of living. II
was asserted tUat ue bclltNtS lAiS ihiu
dlemen are responsible for the higher
prices.
Recently Mr.. Wilson made an inves-
tigation into the reported higher cost
Of meat He found, according TO his
annual report, that the mean gross
profits in selling meats TO the ultimate
consumer were ~ per cent and that In
come cities this percentage was AZ
high as 6S. This meant, the report
said. that the cost to consumers was
IS to 6S per cent above the price the
retailer paid TO the wholesale mer
chant.
The same sources Of Information
which were relied on to gather the
data on meat were directed to the in
