ADVISES MUSSELS AS FOOD
Bureau Of Fisheries Declares There 10
High NutrltIVs Value In De-
SplSe6 crustaesan.

In a recent bulletin the bureau Of
fisheries declares that sea mussels are
in high degree both palstable and
nutritious. The bureau goes further
and says that in view of the album
dance of the mussels and the ease
with which they can be obtained the
neglect of them for table use iS
wasteful. 1t points out that sea mus
sells are found along the coasts Of
nearly all the northern half Of the
northern hemisphere, and that there
are beds on the New England coast
so extensive that the musseis could
be collected daily by the ton. 1t
adds that many persons consider the
flavor of the mussel superior to that
OF the oyster; that, moreover, mus
sells are in season when the oyster is
out of season, and that they are more
easily cultivated than the oyster. II
admits that fresh mussels are diff
cult to market, for they spoil if kept
more than twenty-four hours, but
asserts that if canned or picked
they retain their natural flavor for
months. The bureau recommends
that such cheap and nutritious food
be placed ON the market.-Youth's
Companion.

EVERYDAY TIME SAVER.

1t is a fact that is only very slow
ly becoming recognized that the
great majority of people could double
their power of achievement by = lii
tie self-discipline in learning how to
get hold Of themselves so as to de-
pend upon the prompt, decisive 40
ton of their faculties. A little gyS-
tenn alone would double the efficacy
of many a housewife who does not
know why she is always at work. Shs
may, perhaps, work very hard, and
think that she has not half enough
time to do what she ought to do, bat
she could save more than half the
time that she now throws away in
doing things over and over again
from lack of order. System is a tre-
mendous energy saver and time saver.

was, on the other hand, grotesque.
She wore a big green silk poke bon
net, crepe shawl and a wide skirt
over hoop. Her hands were in
cased in mitts, and her hair was
looped over her ears. Gloria was in
a brown stuff gown, too big for her,
and made on Quakerish lines.
They created a sensation as they
came into the room. Mr.. Iverson,
far up at the end, talking to the
philanthropist, saw the people cram
ing their necks and turned to look.
"Girls dressed up queerly-fancy
costumes, evidently" said the phil
anthropist.
Mr.. Iverson watched the advanc-
ing figures with smiling liberation,
but as they came closer, his jaw
dropped. What did it mean9 Why
were his girls making such a show
Of themselves?
In a moment, the three stood be-
fore him.

and it hurts me to see her disappoint-
ed in him."
Beverly crept into Gloria's room
on the night before the annual din
ner. "I'm afraid, Gloria" she whis-
pered, ''I'm afraid 1 won't have the
courage to go through with it."
But Beth was not afraid. She,
like Gloria, was sustained by the
thought that something must be done
to bring happiness to her mother.
"And thank goodness, mother isn't
going to be at the dinner" said
Gloria.
There was much rummaging the
next day in the attic. There was
some giggling, too, but when ne Mrs.
Tverson asked the cause of the hilar-
ity, Gloria answered: "We are trying
to find something to wear, dear
mother"
Beverly's lover was as young and
ardent as herself. "You're a beauty"
he whispered, as Beverly threw of
her cloak in the room downstairs and
displayed her costume. you've got
sort of driven from home look

grandmother's, made with a skinny

"TRIP TO WONDERLAND.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better
known under his pen name as Lewis
Carroll, perhaps followed the last
profession in the world that one
would expect of a man who wrote
"Alice in Wonderland" He was a
mathematician professor at Oxford.
There really was a little girl named
Alice, who used to accompany this
old bachelor on trips on the river.

"What does this meanT Mr.. Iver-
son demanded. 'Why have you made
such frights of yourselves?"
Then, right before the philanthro-
pist, Gloria made her little speech.
"You- told us you were too poor to
give us new gowns. You told us to
dress as mother did-and we have
done it-what should you find in
that to criticise p
Then suddenly it seemed to Mr..
Tverson that be saw written across
the face Of the philanthropist, in
flaming words, 'rYou-miser-l" He
saw it.on the faces of all the people.
"Come away" he said hoarsely,
and went out, followed by the trem-
bling girls, who, now that they had
punished him, were in tears of re-
morse and humiliation.
"Who would have dreamed it
would have been so awful" whim-
pered Beth to her lover, who had
drifted toward her out of the shad-
ows.
Once in the house, Mr.. Iverson
went straight up to his wife's room.
''Martha," he said, "did you know
what those girls were going to do T'
She looked her surprise. "No-

He kissed her. "Nothing," he
said, and went downstairs.
'Was it necessary?'' he asked the
girls, who stood waiting.
"It seemed the only way" said
Gloria. People were calling us

"And nowS" he asked. r
"Now, oh father" Gloria was
weeping, snow we know how dread
ful it was for you and for us all. We
are sorry-we are sorry"
He dropped into a chair, and hid
his face in his hand. "I deserved
it," he said, and for moment there
was silence. Then Beth went and
knelt beside him.
"If you knew how we love you"
she said, "and how-mother loves
you"
His hand went out to her. al

Presently he raised his head and
a softer light shone in his eyes.
"Girls," he said, 81 want you to
go to town tomorrow morning and
buy your mother a new gown-some-
thing soft and silky and beautiful
and I want you to buy her a box Of

used to love roses. And we'll make

"There is a way" said Gloria sud
denly, then stopped as they cried
eagerly, 'What?'
Don't you worry" said Gloria,
"he's got to be walked up, as mother
calls it, and l am going to do ii
finally and effectually."
The occasion for which the girls
had needed new gowns was the an
nual dinner given for the benefit Of
the towns free library. Here were
gathered together all of the promi-
nent citizens, and here came the rich
philanthropist from the city with
whom Mr.. Iverson loved to meet and
discuss financial matters with the
hope of a clew which might bring
more dollars.
He cared little what his daughters
wore, for no one noticed them, at
least no one in whom he was inter-
ested. Their old gowns were surely
good enough for the people of the
town.
But Gloria and Beverly and Beth
loved pretty things, not only for
their own sake, but because of the
three men who had wooed and won
them.
When Gloria told her plan to her
lover, he was doubtful of its success.

Butter Firmer But Otherwise Prices Are

Boston, Aug. 2s.--The week opens in
the local market for dairy products with.
out much change from the conditions OF
last week. The feeling in butter is !,
shade frmer than 1t has been in response
to a stronger tendency in the New York
market, but buyers are not taking hold
at all freely and dealers find it impos
sible to raise their prices any. The
cheese market Is not very active, but
il holds quite firm, owing to the high
level Of the country markets, dealers
being unable to replace goods sold ex.
cept at higher prices than prevailed a
short time ago. Fresh eggs continue in
light supply and firm in price.

Notes of the Game.

The Berlin aggregation is undoubtedly
one of the best baseball turnouts that
has been seen in the city this season.
In the Berlin lineup are faces of sev
eral Burlington lads Munson. the old
st. Michael college pitcher, balls from
the Queen City. Captain Hamilton, the
backstop, was instructed in the elements
of baseball at Burlington high school,
having caught for the school team two
seasons. Palmer, the southpaw, who
started Yesterdays game, is well known
in the state through his utilization with
Burlington high school Powers. the cen
ter fielder, is another former Burlington
high man. Norman, who warmed place
on the resting settee, is Chittenden
county product, claiming the metropolis
of the state as his residence.
Bracket, the four-eyed shortstop of
the Berlin aggregation, is said to have
played of late years on the Massaehu-
setts Aggies.
Jack Davidson played a strong game
at second base for the local nine. He
was power with the ash, rapping out
three clean hits in the first three sallies
at the plate.
Bill Stuart played clever game at
first. He pulled in couple of difficult
one-handed catches of wretched throws.
He is great improvement over the
other candidates that have been trying
their fortunes with the position this
