Wren and New Years.
From the London Chronicle

Had old custom but survived. the wren
would have been in great request today,
especially In Ireland and Wales. The
new year would have seen professions,
each headed by a wren in lantern. For
1t was formerly the custom to carry a
lantern, tastefully decorated with rib
bons. and containing wren, round each
hamlet and village. and make calls on
dwellers In cottage and hall. The bear
ers, swinging the lantern at each door,
would favor all whom it might concern
with song and receive monetary
reward. Another industry gone!

Still in the Dark.

Here is a story of the handwriting
of Joaquin Miller, the 'Poet of the
Sierras," who has the reputation of
being the worst penman in America
since the days of Horace Greeley.
He was invited by the secretary of
a well-known club to take part in
some festive celebration.
His answer covered four pages, but
no one could decipher it,
There was nothing for it but to
write again to Mr.. Miller regretting
that it could not be determined
whether his communication was an
acceptance or a refusal, and adding,
IF you will be present on the date
mentioned, will you kindly make a
cross on the bottom of this letter?
If it will be impossible for lou to ap.
pear, will you kindly draw circle?"
BY return of post the letter came
back with sign appended according
to request.

for any one to say whether it was
meant to be a cross or circle.-Tit-

Dried Sweet Corn.

Campers and hunters are giving
preference to dried corn over the
canned, because it is so light and cas-
lily carried. A Maine girl last year
earned over 5000 by husking and dry
ing unripe sweet corn from her faith
er's field, and curing it for winter
use, after the methods practiced by
the early Dutch settlers. A party of
hunters from New York City found
this corn so satisfactory in its saving
of bulk and weight that other hunters
this year are on the lookout for SINH
lar home-cured products. Corn for
this purpose should be sweet and ten
der. Boil in the ear, then, with a
sharp knife, cut the kernels from the
cob, removing as little of the husk as
possible. Spread this shelled corn on
platters or screens, protect with mos
quito netting from the predatory fly
and dry in either the sun or above the
family cook stove, or In the oven.
Stir often during the drying. When
thoroughly dry, pack in stout paper
bags and hang in perfectly dry
place. When ready to use soak por-
ton over night in cold water, then

true; that when they were married
his wife brought her school books to

aided his education materially.
After he rose to prominence his
admirers used to point out that he
made few mistakes in grammar and
that his English was pure, but he
never learned to divide his words
correctly in writing and sometimes
made ludicrous mistakes in quota

spoke of the Lays of Ancient Rome
as having been translated in Mac

quoted: And the stern joy that war;
