MERITS OF COCHIN VARIETY
excellent Producers of Eggs In Wis.,
ter and Young Chickens Are
Fairly Good on the Table.

Cochins have certainly the merit of
laying well in winter, due probably to
their profuse feathering, which pre-
vents undue evaporation of heat
Young chickens are fairly good on the
table, but when older they cannot be
regarded as even passable ia that re-
spect. The flesh ie at all times very
yellow, and more largely DEVELOPED
on the thighs than the breast. This
Is due TO the fact that Cochins are not
Flyers; they have only small wings
whilst very large ones would be need
ed to support such a heavy frame
The weight which Cochins attain Is
very good indeed. Adult cocks range
from twelve to fifteen pounds. hens
eight to eleven pounds, and cockerex
and puilots two to three pounds less.
They are very haSdy, and can stand
almost any place and soil, but thew
do best on short. level grass, for the
loot feather is broken and spoiled
when on long grass or rough ground.
The partridge Cochin possesses a
great variety and brilliancy of color.

OLD PURITAN ElELE BOXES
Curious Carved Chests for the Safe
Keeping Of Copies OF the
Scriptures.

Almost invariably after some great
wave OF religious enthusiasm, we are
confronted by strange fragments of
salvage relicts Of the emotional pas.
sion and religious ardvr of a departed
hour, says the Queen. Such were the
devotional carvings of the middle
ages-the triptyctes, the private tab.

among such memorials are the vast
old Puritan Bible boxes. Cumbrous.
ancient arks, into which the revised
version OF James l. was once commit.
ted for safe ward and keeping. The
sound oakboards with which they vera
made have resisted the tooth of time.
In the long journeys OF the men Of
the Puritan period, when the scrip
lures were part Of the daily accom-.
panimert OF life, the province Of these
OLD boxes may readily be seen. With.

registers. has sometimes proved an In.
valuable aid How little we could have
spared, for instance, that volume in
which Milton recorded the very hour
and minute OF his children's birth.
Ash wood was sometimes used in
the manufacture of-Bible boxes, but
oak was the most popular from its
superior powers OF resistance. for We
must remember they were at times In

of any place might well be improved
but there is no disputipg the fact that
the moral tone of the small city is purer
than that Of the large centers Of popu-
lation, and that the temptations before
young people are correspondingly less.
Again, the rural constituency is a
place of homes and not of fats and
boarding houses. In this fact lies one
chief reason for the purer moral atmos-
phere, for whereas homes conserve
morality, flats and hotel life have ter.
dency to weaken it.
In sll these things the value of the
village and small city as being some
thing more than a kind OF trading point
must be admitted. 1t is therefore the
duty of every citizen of the place to
earnestly further its best interests in
every just way.

VALUE Of SMALL CITIES.

Many people have an idea that vii
lage or small city is nothing but a cen
ter to which farmers may go to buy a
few groceries and other goods and then
hurry home.
That is an imperfect and one-sided
view to take. That such a place is a
business center for the surrounding
country is true, but it does not cover
the whole ground. AS a matter of fact
that village or town Of few hundred
or few thousand people has many aG-
vantages which larger places do not
have.
The village is a social and religious
center to a degree that large city can
not possibly be. In it there is large
amount of sociability; people meet not
as strangers or mere acquaintance but
as friends and neighboTs. Therefore
the naturalness and joy unconfned of
its social functions is lie refreshing con-
trsst to the artifciality and restraint SO
frequently seen in city life.
What is true socially is also true NOR
ally. Doubtless the moral atmosphere

IA a rule national conventions require
about three days. Lincoln was nomi-
mated at Chicago in 1860; Grant in the
same city in 1868; Hayes az Cincinnati
in 1876. Mckinley in Philadelphia in
1900 and Roosevelt at Chicago in 1904 10
conventions which lasted but three DAYS.
TIE second Grant convention in 1872 at
Philadelphia was in session only two
days. The Blaine conven ton of 1884
and the Taft convention of 1908. both at
Chicago, continued four days. This
makes the convention held in Chicago
last week notable as being the longest
ever held by the republican party, il
being in session five days.

NOVEL AND DAINTY SANDWICHES

Every hostess, when entertaining.
racks her brain for something that
will be a little different from those
served by her friends When prepar-
Ing the sandwiches yhy not use fancy
cutters instead of the squares and tri-
angles which have been the thing so
long? Some will say, there is so
much waste in using cutters" That
is true, but those scraps need not DO
wasted, and sandwiches Of this kind
are SO much more attractive. a point
that every entertainer strives for.
The greater the variety Of cutters
you possess the more stylish will ba
your refreshments.
The hardest part of making sand
wiches is in cutting the bread thin
enough. The more wafer-like, the
more dainty they are.
To make especially nice sandwiches,
the crust of the bread is removed.
The butter used for spreading sand
wiches should be creamed until soft
and waxy. Nuts chopped and mixed
with cream cheese will make most de-
lectable sandwich filling.

and milk or cream to make it of the
consistency to spread.
Spanish peppers pounded to a paste
and mixed with cream cheese is an
other tasty combination.
An excellent sweet sandwich is ma
pie sugar grated and mixed with
chopped almonds. or marmalade or
preserved Fingered pears make a nice
filling, chopped fine.
Fish pounded to a paste and mixed
with a little salad dressing makes
good sandwiches.
Preserved ginger chopped and
thinned to spread with some Of the
strip is another favorite with those
who are fond of ginger.

TIE POLITICAL SITUATION.

At the close of the most tumultous
national cOnventiol il its history the
republicans on last Saturday night
renomiratod William Howard Taft for
President and James Schoolcraft Sher-
man for Vice-Pcesident. There wss
talk of bolt, in fact, some effort to
bolt on the part Of the disgruntled, but
this PER Sc will amount to little. Bolts
have never much affected the course of
the republican party. Take the bolts of
1872 and 1896 within their ranks and. il
will be remembered, the only effect was
to send the boilers to political retire
ment or into the ranks of the democrats
where they were without welcome, pres
tige or influence. Unless, then, other
thinA intervene the bolt will amount to
little.
The democrats are in convention this
week in Baltimore that promises to be
as hard fought as was the one in Chi
cage. At this writing no one can fore
see the result. If however they nomi-
nate progressive the probabilities are
that the progressives of the country
will line up with the democrats and the
conservatives with the republicans. As
the party ties set more lightly upon the
progressives this will give the demo-
Gratis slight advantage but whether
enough to overcome the republican ma
jorities of four years ago is problem
attic.
Again, if the democrats nominate
conservative, the progressives of both
parties may form d third party and the
outcome IN this case will be beyond sur
mise.
Before the issues are fully made up
let Us then, Tor moment, put aside
personal preference and political bias
and consider, as impartially ss our per-
sonal equation will allow, what IS best
for this section in the coming conflict.
In practice, politics is matter of sec
ticnal seifshness, and while this may
not be broad view of it, it is a fact.
The south is just entering into the en-
joymeut OF an uneXampled period of
prosperity and it behooves US to be
careful in our lineup at this time and
to do nothing that will interfere with
this rising tide of prosperity AS
broad general principle, the policy of
protection is essential to the develop
ment Of southern industries, and all
other questions are secondary to this
important end. 1t therefore behooves
this section to stand firm for protection.
And until both the predominant parties
are before the people with their candi-
dates and platforms and the question of
third party with following enough to
be figure in the campaign, is settled,
it is well for this section to move slowly
and weigh we'll the facts before COM
uniting themselves to definite action,
bearing in mind however, the party that
offers full protection to our growing in
dIstries will be the best for the south.

MIXING RICE AND BEANS.

"When rice and beans are

The answer, mot necessarily
Is necessarily incomplete and
unsatisfactory to one who WISH
es TO know whether the mono
diet theory so much emphasized
In these Hints Is as important
as It must be If the arguments
In Its support are we'll founded.
The correct answer to the ques-
ton can be definitely determined
by eating a meal Of beans ana
rice and withdrawing the con-
tents Of the stomach two hours
afterwards, when II will be
found that the beans and tho
rice are so we'll mixed that to
er7rate them would be a much
sre. : tax upon tho stomach,
