Companies of amateurs and organizations Of pro-

sylvan surroundings in various parts of the

the most part these events introduce original pro

logue original but the music has been specially com
posed and the dances specially arranged for that

1910.-that held at the home of the late Edward
Mcdowell in New Hampshre-the musical mas
terpieces of Americas most famous composer were
specially arranged to form a musical setting for
the open-air drama
Many of the spectaces which have been pre-
sented by local talent in various American com
munities are historical in theme. being designed to
the history of the respective regions where they
presented. However, the latest leaning seems
to be toward Greek plays, original otherwise
Undoubtedly the flowing costumes Of the Grecian
mode lend themselves to graceful posing and the
current popularity of classical dancing has helped
some. Among the women prominent in the produc-
ton of Greek spectacles,-and almost all the pro
jects for open.air theatricals in the hands of
women-is Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney of Gin

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffe

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee drinker for
many years. and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till
became a practical invalid. suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
! sufferings.
Il continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance was rejected on ac-
count of the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. | found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so
/ quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements OF
Postum ! began its use.
The change in my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored,
my nervousness disappeared, and,
most important of all, my heart stead
led down and became normal. and on a
second examination l was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee

A Youno Fireman.

Naly Reese and his little brother,
Earl. were alone in their house in
Manor, Pa, when one of them acci-
dentally set fire to the window cur
tain. The curtain flared up in an in
stant, and Naly ran outdoors, calling
for help. Naly is eight years old, and
boys no older than that cannot be eX.
pected to fight fires. They cannot be
expected to, but sometimes they do,
Earl is only six years old, but he was
old enough to be brave boy. He did
not run after his brother. He pulled
at the burning curtain, got it down to
the floor and then rolled it up, burn
ing as Is was, and stamped on it. When
some neighbors hurried into the house
they found that the fire was out and
that Earl was sitting on the floor by
the side Of the charred curtain and
crying because his hands were burned.

At eight to ten days of age lambs
will begin to eat. At that time
creep should be built which will give
them access to a feed box containing
grain and a trough with hay. Box
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good ration for lambs is made as
follows: Mix one-third part of oilmeal
with one part each of bran, oats and
fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa hay or the
second cutting of alfalfa hay is the
most desirable form of roughage. OF
the two alfalfa is to be much pre-
ferred
1t is a good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. BY so doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take a
sudden rise.

We have habit of saying of per.
son who knows how to make the most
Of opportunities that he is 'up to
snuff"
When we associate the powdered to-
bacco which people put into their
noses with this expression it appears
to have small sense.
The reason lies further back in the
origin of the word snuff itself. Snuff
fen is the German for smell. 1t for
merly meant not only to identify od)rs
by means of the nose, but to scent a
thing--that is, to discern a thing TO
smell a rat'' and ION the right scent
both have their origin in this. Thus
'up to snuff" means up to a superior
standard of discernment, or the ability
to follow a clew, etc.
Accordingly the expression has a
deal more sense in it than appears at
first glance.

A novel invention in the shape Of an

athletes at all points in race has just
been installed on the running track in
the Robinson gymnasium, Kansas uni
versity. The machine, which is the
first Of its kind and the invention Of
DR.. Naismith, director of physical cul-
ture, consists of small bamboo sticks
located along the track so as to divide
the course into quarters.
The sticks project over the track and
are touched by the breast Of the run
ner as he passes. The bamboos are
connected to a make and break cleo
trical machine, which transmits the
touch Of the runner to a kymograph,
which holds lamp biacked paper on
which marks are made. A clock is
used in connection with the kymo-
graph for purposes of timing.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Hints For the Dairyman.

The best thing for any dairying To-
cality is the organization of COW lest
associations.
The animal that pays the best is
bound to be in evidence as dairymen
become better informed.
1t is a mistake to suppose that a
good COW of inferior breeding is quail
fed to drop a good calf.
Never feed hay or sweep or in any
way stir up dust just previous to milk
ing time, for this will contribute to
the introduction of bacteria which
contaminate and injure the quality of
the milk.
Dirt always contains germs. There
fore wipe all dust from the cows I'D
der and flanks with a wet cloth before
milking begins and see that no dirt
has gained entrance to the milking
pail.
Separate the cream while the milk is
still warm and in cold weather first
run hot water through the separator to
warm it, Strain the milk into the sep
qrator through wire gauze.

A Happy Family.

In Los Angeles there is a cat named
Polly, and she had four kittens. Three
of them were taken away from her,
and she felt unhappy. She reused her
self long enough to kill rat, and then
she found that there were three little
motherless rats left in soft nest, She
had had good meal, and so she did
not eat them. She adopted them. She
took each one in her mouth and car
ried it to her own bed, where the lone
kitten remained, and when she had
made her family complete she set
about taking care of them. People
came for miles around to look at the
cats and the rats and take pictures of
them
