The up-to-date Halloween hostess depends
more upon the pumpkin than she does upon ice
creams, the popcorn the fudge or any of the
other necessities of the frolics at the end of In
dian summer. A substitute might be found for
any of the eatibes but there is no substitute for
the pumpkin as Halloween decoration. Most
of the pumpkins that thus go to add to the joty
of the occasion are the bona-fde products of the
farm, but of late years make-believe pumpkins
have made their appearance at many enter
tainment 1t is that they fill special niche In
the scheme of things rather than that they have
been required by any shortage of the real pump
kin crop. The situation may be explained by an
example. Your ingenious hostess employees the
real pumpkins-halved or with an opening at the
top or slashed with the outlines of Jacks Wis
age shades for the candles that, are deemed
to give sufficient illumination for such spooky
occasion. but she has miniature pumpkins fash
toned from colored cardboard place cards at
the supper table, and the favors for the guests
candy boxes in the form of pumpkins filed
with pumpkin-colored candy.

long before the first white man set foot on the
continent (f tradition is to be belieyed) and We
have followed much the same custom to this day.
OF course, pumpkins are raised in other environ
ment than in field, but other surround
ings seem so appropriate for the heralds of the
fall festivals.
Every true friend of the pumpkin is forced to
admit that the it bears is a pebian one for
SO royal fruit Its name has not only proven
disadvantage in some respects. but has resulted
in the pumpkin being confused with certain
other products of the farm. AS every person who
goes in quest of pumpkin for Halloween plots
well attest, there is only form OF pumpkin
that is worthy the name and occasior-that
glossy surface tinted more vivid orange than
the orange fruit itself. And yet there are people
who confuse the only and original smon-pure
pumpkin with its numerous cousins none of
which have its traditions claims to distinction
Just because the pumpkin belongs to the same
family the summer and crookneck squashes
and the common, inedible gourds is reason
why anybody should confuse them and
the thing Why, even the squashes that
approach most nearly to the pumpkin in color
lack its symmetry of form.

as of any fruit or vegetable but whatever its

When 1t was first put before the
public, the filament OF the tungsten
lamp was so delicate that it would
be often shattered by careless hand

them where they were subject to vi

PRACTICAL USE OF CURRENT.
Electrically Heated Wires to Save
Piers and Abutments.

An interesting use of electricity was
recently demonstrated in England.
where a wooden bridge was cut down,
by means of electrically heated wires.
The bridge had been condemned and
was to be replaced by steel struct-
ure supported on the old masonry
piers and abutments
Three weeks was allowed in which
to disnantle the woodwork. but. says
the Scientific American. it proved
impossible to accomplish the work IN
so short time without the use OF
dynamite or fire, which undoubtedly
would have Injured the masonry. Fin
ally an electrician proposed TO destroy
the bridge by the use of electricity.
Each span of the bridge contained "
planks. and 1t was proposed to cut
them so that they would drop into the
water simultaneously, clear of the
piers The structure was wired and
sufficient current was employed to
bring the wires cherry red. An
hour and forty minutes after the cur
rent was applied the first span was
cut and fell into the water.
The operation was begun at five
o'clock in the morning. and at two
O'Clock the next morning the struct-
ure had been demolished without in
juring the masonry.

1t is all very well to talk about the advantages
of the modern quiet and decorous Halloween in
contrast to the rather more boisterous that
were formerly the rule-and yet In in some
localities-but whatever the form Of celebration
it would assuredly lose ali its zest for juvenile
America without the grinning JACKIE Lanterns made
possible by We plump pumpkins Moreover with
out the vividhued orbs the Halloween hostess
would be at a loss for decorative effects at dinner
and party. And finally, without the wealth of the
pumpkins mellow interior we should one and all
be deprived of that supreme delicacy-the pump
kin pie-which is our bounden right on Halloween
even If some Grabbed old doctor does deny it to
all the rest of the year.
No one, probably, has the Imagination to pre-
dict how we could get along without the pumpkin
at this prankish time. because not within the
memory of the Oldest inhabtant have been
without these harbingers of the waning year. We
can imagine Christmas without tree illuminated
by the tiny electric lamps conceive a st. Val
ent.nes day without those convenient and
nomical post card valentines, because 1t not
so many years ago that we knew not these holi-
day adjuncts But Halloween without pumpkins!
Why 1t is too preposterous to give credence even
for moment. AS well try to imagine Christ

day without 1agsS Fourth of July without
fireworks.

as a pamphlet to the rotund delicacy-hasnt
indeed deigned to notice his majesty of Hallow-

may desire to pumpkins, though that were
a ft fate for so useful holiday adjunct
But for all that there Is little lore relative to
the history and antecedants of the pumpkin-and
