The Belgian Hare asF00d
Flesh of This Animal Is Certain
~ Considered Somewhat Bet
ter Than That of the Ordinary
Hutch Rabbit.
By David E. Lantz.

The tact that rabbits are easily
grown and are a cheap and excel
lent substitute for the ordinary
meats is likely to turn the atten-
ton of many persons to rearing the
animals. That they can be pro-
pagated without costly investment
in land and buildings is a peculiar
advantage. Further, the presence
on the farm of another animal
which, like poultry, may be killed
and prepared for the table entire
and at short notice, is exceedingly
desirable. All thse circumstances
make it extremely probable that
the business of rearing rabbits
will grow in Importance.
The Belgian hare is one Of the
best rabbits for table use. It
weighs more than most breeds,
develops very rapidly, and the
quality of the meat is superior to
all the others. The Flemish giant
is a Belgian hare bred exclusively
for large size, but with the result
that the meat is coarser and less
delicate in flavor. These charac-
terlstics are regarded by some per
sons as desirable, but this is large
ly a matter of individual tste.
Most people would prefer the white
.hner-grained fesrh Of the original
Belgian hare. It should be remark
&c, however, that much Of the excel
lence Of the rabbit as food depends
upon its cooking. AS often pre-
pared, it is dry and insipid; while
in the hands of an experienced cook
it becomes all that the most fasti-
Gus taste can wish. An especial
requirement in cooking the Belgian
hare is that none of the natural
juices of the meat be lost in the
process.
The Belgian hare does not dc
we'll when kept wild in open war
rens. The common English rab-
bit IS better for this purpose. a
good many Belgians have beer
turned out in various parts Of
the United States, and in the vicin:
ity of the city of New York and or
the western coast there have beer
some complaints Of damage tc
crops by wild Belgian hares. AS (;

MISSION BELLS
\ New Musical Work by
Marie Louka.

The following letter accompanied a
musical manuscript sent by Marie
Louka, the distinguished composer, to
the Whitrey Warner Company

Gentlemen-I am sending you with
this the last of the five teaching pieces
that l had promised to write this year.
have named it mission Bells. -
The theme, and in fact the whole
composition came to me as an insp;ra-
ton while travelling through California
for my health two years ago. Itrav-
eled most of the time in stage coaches
of which there are many left between
San Diego and San Francisco. l saw
the ruins of many Of the old missions,
which one hundred years ago were a
refuge and a home for the worn trave-
Ter, who could stay as long as he wished
and pay what he could afford, and when
he went away took the blessings of the
Monks, those men of fGod who sacrificed
there lives for mankind in country
which was inhabited mostly by the
lawless Spaniards and Mexicans. While
almost all of these buildings are in a
ruined state now was very much
impressed with the bells which in four
or five missions still remained. Those
bells were formerly rung at night to
guide lost travlers. One day while maxi
ing trip on horseback to the foot of a
range of mountains with my companion
and guide we lost our way. 1t was
late in the afternoon when we discovered
this fact. While pondering what to do
wei heard the Ginning of sweet bells
three in number,w we judged from the
sound and following this, to US most well
come sound, we came upon an Ursuline
convent, situated in a most beautiful
natural park in. the foothills of long
range of mountains. AS we came up
close we could hear the soft tones of an
organ and the singing of nuns. 1t was
vesper time, and was deeply impress
ed with the beautiful scene that for
got the lredicament we were in. We
reined up cur horses and stopped until
the chanting was over, and the whole
scene made such an impression upon
me that ! resolved to embody it just as
it then impressed me in musical COM
position. This have since done, and l
am submitting the manuscript to you
under conditions that 1t be named
mission Bells" and that short dss-
cription of this event in my life be in
scribed upon every copy. Kindly send

A Mail Order Deal

One day last week man went into
the Crooke hardware store to buy a
saw. He saw the kind he wanted al d
asked the price. 1t was 81. 25, he was
told.
"Goo1 gracious, said the man, 81
can get the same thing from Sears,
Roebuck & Co., for $l.S5.'
THAT is less than it cost me-" said
M. Crooke, but will sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house
Just the same"
"All right, said the customer, ''you
can send it along and charge it to my
account.
"Not on your life," was the reply.
"No charge accounts. You can't do
business with the mail order house
that way Hand over the cash.
The customer complied.
"Now two cents for postage and five
cents for a money order
"What ="
"Certainly; you have to send a letter
and money order to msil order house,
you know.
The customer, inwardly raving, kept
to his agreement and paid the seven
cents.
"Now, 80 cents expressage.
'Well, III be :" he said but he
paid it saying, Now hand me that
saw and will take it home and be
done with this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You are in Brush and |
am in Chicago, and you will have to
wait two weeks for that saw,
Whereupon Mr.. Crook hung the saw
on peg and put the money in the
cash drawer.
THAT makes 81. AZ" he said. ut
has cost you II cents more and takes
YOU two weeks longer to get it than if
you had paid my price in the first
place.

Yours very sincerely.

Musical critics who have heard "Missi-
on Bells" have pronounced it amaster-
piece as descriptive work. The socnd
of three bells as produced on the piano
is remarkably perfect. 1t is not very
difficult composition, and will no doubt
take its place among the semiclassic
teaching pieces, such as Monastery
Bells" Cathedral Chimes and "Das

company have splendid catalogue d

lows Falls high schoo and of the Uni
versity of Vermont in 1910, son of Frank
G. Pierce, the clothing dealer of Bel
lows Falls, according to a special dis
patch from Washington, has been ap-
pointed secretary to Senator Dillingham;
this week. He will succeed Charles H.
Webb of Montpelier, who is promoted to
a higher position. Mr.. Pierce has been
employed in the office of the Robertson
Paper company since his graduation last
year. He went to Washington Jan. !, at
the request Of the senator, the exact
duties not having been decided then. 1t
had been expected he would be secretary
to one Of the senate committees of
which Senator Dillingham; Is chairman,
a position not as good, or secure, as that
of private secretary to the senator. The
young man has very many warm friends
here who will rejoice at his receiving so
good a position, and without doubt he
will make good wherever he is placed.
Mrs. Stella Dickinson will manage the
business of the Bellows Falls Ice COM
pany again the coming season. She had
been manager several years previous to
last year, when the management was as
sumed by another member of the cor
poration, Alfred S. Hunt, who came here
from Massachusetts, for that purpose,
and who lived at 120A Atkinson street.
The ice has formed so rapidly during the
NOiu WOdbhcA VI thC ioob WtCh thab Sdb-
ting will be begun the fnst of next
week. The ice is of excellent quality on
Minard's pond, from which the supply
comes. Last year a sufficient supply was
not stored and the company was obliged
to buy a large quantity before the close
of the season. 1t is expected hat a
much larger supply will be stored this
year.. The large ice house built this
season by 8. j. Cray at the Vermont
Packing company's plant over the river
has been filed this week from their pri-
vate pond on the brook. above the works.
There is a good outlook now for secur-
ing a full supply of Ice of excellent quail
ity in all this vicinity.
A marked improvement is being expert
enced for the last six months in the

atty would be implicated. and Judge
George H. Thompson had them before
him frequently. 1t seemed to be a Pc
culiarity Of that nationality. They always
had money enough and were ready to
pay whatever fines were assessed upon
them. evidently feeling they had their
moneys worth In fun. II became so
marked that about six months ago Judge
