HUMBLE BRITISH POETS

Workingmen poets, like Matthew
Tate, the pitman, to whom Lord
Ridley has offered free house for
life, are by no means rare. One of
the most gifted is Mr.. Alfred Will
liams of Swindon, who works at the
forge by day and studies the classics
and writes poetry in the evenings.
Mr.. McGill, too, young navy on
the Caledonian railway, recently
published a volume of verses, includ-
ing some very creditable translations
from the French and German. Con-
stable Mitchell, author of Ballads
in Blue" is only one of several po-
licemen poets and Miss Ethel
Carrme, whose "Songs Of a Factory
Girl" have reached a second edition,
was until recently Lancashire mill
hand.

HAS ITS ROOTS IN COFFIN
Magnificent Poplar Tree FIourishes
Over Grave Of Man Buried
Near Nashville.

It Is seldom, perhaps, that nature
erects a monument to persons
memory, yet in small cemetery
few miles east Of Nashville, in
Brown county, may be found an OBJ
ject bearing that distinction, accord
ing to the Toronto World.
More than rs years ago a man
named Allcorn became resident OF
Brown county, and for several years
lived near Salt Creek, in the eastern
part of the county. While residing
there Allcorn met with an accident
which resulted in his death, and he
was buried in the cemetery near his
home.
The coffin was hewed out OF a part
Of a poplar tree and made into two
sections. A few years later a small
sprout began to shoot from the crude
coffin, and not long afterward q
small poplar tree began to spread it's
branches over the grave.
Within a few years it had grown
to large proportions, and during the
long period since it first appeared
above the ground the tiny poplar
sprout has grown into q tree that
measures several feet in circumfer-
ence and towers above all others in
the vicinity.
It's branches spread far out in all
directions, and many perhaps who
pass nearby are attracted by the tow
ering poplar, though they may be
unfamiliar with its history.

SPARROW PIE A NEW DISH
Il 10 Being Eaten In Great Britain, and
II You Fancy II Herr 10
the Recipe.

1t is probably with a desire to as
sist in depicting the numbers OF
sparrows, which are an acknowledged
nuisance in some parts Of Great
Britain, that the following recipe
for sparrow pie is being circulated.
Take 10 sparrows, pound rump
steak, one-quarter bacon and one
half pint good stock. For the force
or stuffing take 2 tablespoonfuls OF
breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful fine
ly chopped suet, one tablespoonful
finely chopped ham or parboiled
chicken GverS, some chopped mush-
rooms, a little finely chopped pars-
ley, one-quarter of tablespoonful Of
finely grated lemon rind, one-quarter
teaspoonful powdered mixed herbs,
one egg, a good pinch of nutmeg,
one-half teaspoonful salt, some pep
per, puff paste, the yolk of one egg.
Bone the sparrows and stuff them; I;
cut the beef into small thin slices,
and the bacon into strips. Put a
layer Of beef at the bottom of q pie
dish, arrange the sparrows on the
top, intersperse the remainder Of the
meat and the strips Of bacon, season
well with pepper and salt, three
quarters fill with stock, and cover
with the paste.
Brush over with yolk Of egg, bake
in a quick oven until the paste has
risen and become set; then cook more
slowly for about one hour. Before
serving add the remaining stock,
pouring it carefully through the hole
in the center of the pie. Serve either
hot or cold, but little gelatin must
be added to the stock if pie is intend
ed to be eaten cold.

MANY CURES FOR HlcCOUGHS
In tho List Given Sufferers Should 6e
Able to Find One That VIII
Afford Nellef.

Hiccoughs can be as troublesome
as any of the minor ills which aggra-
vate mankind. But from time out
of mind there has been a remedy for
every ill-and hiccoughs share the
lot Of other ills in this respect.
One old cure for hiccoughs is this:
Take three or four preserved dam
sons in your mouth at time, and
swallow them by degrees. A temp
tation, this would seem to be, to
children Of another generation to
have hiccoughs.
Water drinking often stops this
trouble. The-water should be slowly
swallowed, not gulped down-swal-
lowed, like the damsons, by degrees.
The best water treatment is this:
Fill the mouth with cool water.
Hold each forefnger over the lobe
OF the ear, closing it tight. Then
swallow the water, very slowly. IL
this operation is properly carried out,
it is almost sure to cure hiccoughs.
Still another remedy is sugar, and
this acts like charm with some per-
sons. The sugar should be Of the
granulated sort, and full teaspoon
full should be taken at once. II
should be swallowed slowly.
Holding the breath is sometimes
efficacious. Hold it and count
twenty or thirty, slowly.
In severe cases Of hiccoughs ac-
companying illness, champagne, a
spoonful at time, is sometimes
found Of use. Sometimes, too, ex-
pert massage Of the abdomen cures
hiccoughs.

NOT A FOREIGN DIPLOMAT
Secretary Daniels Little Mistake VIII

Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, has never gotten over the DEM
ocratic manners he acquired as a
country editor. In fact, he is proud
to be called "from the country" de-
spite his prominence in the public
eye. At his first public dinner in
Washington Daniels had an expert
ence which later caused him to say
he "just ought to stay at home"
On his arrival at the banquet hall
a distinguished looking foreigner
came forward. Daniels bowed low
with true southern courtliness.

said. at is gratifying that foreign

G. w. Mellott does not now
claim, nor did he ever claim, that
oneof his hogs dressed 600pounds;
but he has the proof of those who
helped him butcher. that the hog
weighed 597t, and it was only Is
months old. He butchered, the
same day, two 6-months' old pigs
that dressed 26O each. Wesley
does not mean to complain, but
he says it put them to a lot of
trouble to know what to do with
the lard. They filled all their
lard cans, milk cans, crooks, cof-
fee pots and fruit jars, and then
had some left.

About 100 sick children are
kept at Mont Alto sanitarium.
These children are afflicted with
tuberculosis. Food, shelter, and
medical treatment are furnished
by the State, but these little suf-
fe 'ers are dependent upon out
side supplies for shoes and cloth
ing. In some instances parents
are able to clothe members of
their families at the institution;
but in many cases, the children
are entirely dependent upon char
ity. While the tots are not BEL
gian," their needs are the same.
Many towns, and individuals, are
sending boxes of clothing.

FORAGE PLANT BECAME PEST
Australian Dairy Farmers Brought to
the Verge Of Ruin by Inn
ported GrasA

Australia has added another to
the series of complications incidental
to the introduction of new species,
either of the animal or vegetable
kingdom, into the economic life OF
a country.
Not many years ago the colonists
thought to enrich the scanty fauna
of the island continent by the natu-
ralization of the European rabbit;
and the experiment proved 80 sue
cessful that the little animal is now
a pest to be fought with the aid OF
scalp bounties. Somewhat later an
Australian statesman induced the
settlers Of the torrid north coast to
grow an exotic forage plant, paspa-
lum, kind of millet, and to de-
velop the country as a grazing and
dairy region. The result was the
building up Of Aourishing dairy in
dustry.
Now, however, it has been discov-
cred that, after, years Of wonderful
service as milk maker, paspalum
has developed tendency to sourness,
due perhaps to the failure of the
dairy farmers to follow crop-rota-
tion system. The plant is Of remark
ably vigorous growth, and in most Of
the pastures affected it has developed
formidable tangle of roots, which
makes it an extremely difficult and
expensive matter to eradicate it.

SPRING LOCK MADE TROUBLE
Exceedingly Uncomfortable Hour
Passed by Housewife Acelden-
tally Barred Out Of House.

A door key is nuisance, but so is
a spring lockl Ask any man who
keeps late hours, and is at times for
getful in his habits.
Even housewives have had reason
to agree with this opinion.
One morning a woman followed
her husband to the front steps and
the door slammed when the night
lock was on and the key was inside,
and her husband had caught the car.
She was canning pears and had
put them on the stove to cook while
she was getting breakfast. They
were still cooking and would soon
be burning. The baby was crying
for his breakfast. She could not get
in. None Of the neighbors could get
in. Somebody telephoned to her
husband, and perhaps it was not
more than an hour before he got
home with his key. An hour is a
long time, and the pears and the
baby were in a terrible state. 1t
would have been better if there had
been a burglar in the house. He
could have turned out the gas and
have fed the baby, and he might
have opened the door.
A good, old-fashioned latch string,
always out, would relieve us of so
much responsibility and would be
ever 30 much safer.
