Il Has 4 Number Of Curious and Con.

Glass is one of the most interesting
As well as one of the most peculiar
things in the world. 1t has curious and
contradictory qualities. and many as
tonishing phenomena are connected
with it. Brittle and breakable as it is
yet it exceeds almost all other bodies
In elasticity.
If two glass balls are made to strike
each other at a given force the recoil
by virtue Of their elasticity. will be
nearly equal to their original impetus
Connected with it's brittleness are some
very singular facts.
Take a hollow sphere with a hole and
stop the hole with the finger, so as tc
prevent the external and internal all
from communicating. and the sphere
will fly to pieces by the mere heat OF
the hand. Vessels made of glass that
have been suddenly cooled possess the
curious property of being able to re
sist hard blows given to them frOu
without. but will be instantly shivered
by a small particle of flint dropped into
their cavities. This property seems te
depend upon the comparative thickness
of the bottom: the thicker the bottom
is the more certainty of breakage 10y

ORIGIN OF A FRENCH DISH.

The Order MicheIet Received and the

The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely dis

This is true OF the we'll known cpl
grammeS d'agneau Il la Nicheiet or Il la

called. Michelet was the cook Of a
young French m%arquise of the century
who was noted for her lack Of educn-
ton.
On Il certain occasion she gave Il din

Choiseul-Cavalerie. During the func-
ton her guests spoke of a banquet that
they had attended on the previous
evening. ut which the host had enter
tanned them with many new and bril-
liant epigrams. The marquise supposed
that "epigrams'' referred to culinary
surprises. Consequently she summoned
Mielelet. her cook, and ordered him to
prepare some epigrams for dinner on
the following day. :
Michelet was greatly troubled as to
how he was to obey the order. He recol-
Iected. however. that he had in the
larder some very superior lamb. He
praised the breast, removed the bones.
cut the meat into pieces and bread
crumbed and fried them. He then
cooked the outlets, arranged them on a
dish alternately with the praised breast
and served them with a suitable gar
nish under the name of epigrammes

or a la Toulouse, the, connection has
since been known.

Marriage License Too High

A young man appeared at the

riage license. When informed that
the fee was $3.50 his breath came
in jerks, and then he informed the
clerk that over in Missouri license
only cost 81. But the clerk in
formed him that the difference in
Arkansas girls as compared with
Missouri girls made the difference
in the price. After fumbling out
the enormous price he gave big
sigh and informed the clerk that
his high price would deter the we'd

pleasures which they were wont to
seek elsewhere, under the supervi'
sion of instructors and teachers EN-
ployed by the city, and at no ex-
pense to the young people, the lights,

someone may say that is the work
of the devil, but il is only twentieth
century progress, and such methods
are real philanthropy and will dc
more for the moral uphft of the
world than all the blue laws and
Puritanical teachings that have

Another instance Of the onward
march Of progress thinking tolera-
tion is that of a Boston minister
who advocated that the basement Of
his church be set aside for dancing
parties for the young men and a
"courting room" being established
for the young ladies. This is a
little in the extreme, perhaps, but
what harm could there be in such if
conducted under the careful super.
vision of competent instructor
and chaperone?

And the cpnnelies, located in
every good growing section take all
that can be grown of Grst.class per-
fectly ripened vegetables aud small
fruits.
10 be successful every means
must be used to produce vegetables
and fruits that are of the best vari.
etles and as nearly perfect as pos
sible. Because the canneries will
not buy, and cannot use inferior
products Only the best, perfectly
grown and perfectly ripened vege.
tables and fruits are used.
To be sure if the grower is fortu-
nate enough to be located close to
large city he finds there a mar
ket for most of the produce that he
cannot sell to the cannery. Be
cause such produce, while not
wanted by the canner is yet cheap
and wholesome, aud in demand by
the poorer class of city buyers.
This fact that canneries use only
finest fruits and vegetables is one of
the reasons for the rapidly growing
use of canned goods.
People, too, are getting over the
absurd idea that injurious chemicals
were used in preserving canned
products Nearly everyone now
knows that heat, and heat alone, is
the sterilizing and preserving agent.
Hence canneries are furnishing a
market for ever increasing quanti-
ties of we!l,grown vegetables aud
fruits. And this makes market
for ever increasing quantities of
well grown vegetables and fruits.
And this makes market for the
entire product of thousands of pros
porous small farms IN the we'll.

Farmers Waste Money
Seeking New Locations

Prosperous city men are rare'y
interested in the "back to the farm
agitation.
The farmer with a good home,
and a paying farm has no special
reason tor moving to another state
or country.
So that the shifting of population
due to land shows and land adver-
tising frequently results merely In
the transfer of unsuccessful and dis
c crntented people from one state to
another.
And in moving it often happens
that the "nest egg" realized from
the sale of the old farm or the
household furniture is spent for
reilway and travelling expenses.
Then the city man drops again into
the nearest city, and the farmer
goes back to day wages.
How much better If advantage
were taken Of the numerous oppor-
tunities existing IN all we,l-settIed
eastern and middle states for the
establishment of small farms on
which can be grown vegetables and
small fruits for the city and can
ming trade.
hE-8 good living can be made from
these while larger fruits, such as
apples cherries, pears, etc, are com
ing to fruitage age. Cultivation Of
the vegetables and small fruits goes
on between the trees IN the mean
time.
The cities Of the east offer
thousands of opportunities for profit

farms.
