LOSING APPETITE FOR NUTS
Writer Remoans the Passing Of the
Ancient Fondness That Made
Winter Evenings a JOY.

The old bu%tternut, a very rich and
fragrant nut of the olden time, has al
most disappeared. Very few people of
he present generation have ever tast-
ed a butternut. The black walnut is
becoming fewer, and in a generation
enc it will hardly be known. And
yet it is a precious nut, full of good
less and rare taste. Those old pans

hat has never been surpassed. The
hickory nuts, especially the good old
shellbarks, figured prominently in
those nutty days, and the chestnuts,
too, including the hazel nuts and
beech nuts; but they are all growing
scarcer and have sadly strayed away
rom the human heart.
The pecan is becoming the great
American nut. There are thousands

spread among the local farmers and
landowners, who asked them to ex-
Tend their operations.
Mr.. James decided to accept such
invitations. at any rate until he had
procured enough skins to make a
long coat for his wife.
A newspaper correspondent recent
ly accompanied them to their hunting
ground, where thirty traps had been
laid. Fifteen moles had all been
killed instantaIeously in their little
tunnels. Then came the work of re-
setting the traps in the center of a
line of molehills. A spring trap was
placed between the two openings of
the tunnel after carefully rubbing the
trap and openings with a dead mole.
This was done for two reasons
first, because the mole would instant
ly smell human hands and would
avoid the trap; and, secondly, because
moles are great fighters. When the
master of a tunnel smells what he
takes to be an intruder he rushes of
instantly to do battle. but actually
meets sudden death.
Mr.. James said it would be quite
easy to make at least $40 a week by
catching messs~fer. skins, which can
be sold at from five to ten cents each.
He now has 400 OF the 600 required
to make a coat for his wife.-Balti-

Carblnes for Cavalry.

A proposition t convert the new
Springfield rife into a carbine for the
use of the mounted service is being
considered by the ordnance officers of
the army. The plan is to shorten the
barre! of the rifle four inches, and by
so doing to reduce its weight by two
pounds, thus making it much easier
to handle by the mounted troops. The
sights also are to be adjusted. to meet
the shortening of the barrel.
The decrease in the muzzle veloc'
ity, it is claimed, will not be so great
as to interfere with its effectiveness
up to a range to 1,500 yards. The
ordnance department had been asked
to make a report on the proposition
and the cavalry board will take it uI
and include it in its report on the re
organization of the cavalry and or
the new equipment.

possibilities. Such rooms nowadays
are seldom or never carpeted. The
floor is hard wood with q finish that
shows the grain to advantage. The
floor is nice enough to leave without
any covering whatever; but no one
likes a bare floor because Of the noise
and from the further fact that no room
has a properly furnished appearance
unless the floor has been carefully pro-
vided with rugs that harmonic with
the wall and ceiling decorations.
There is a good deal in proportioning
rugs to the size of the room. This
large living room should have two rugs
large enough to reduce the outside
margin to about ten inches. The space
between the rugs in the center should
be about the same, but this space d.

prize, but they have their disadvan-

Another feature of this house that
is well worth consideration is the pan

a woman doing up the work after meal
time you will notice that she is con-
stantly walking back and forth be-
tween the dining table, the sink and
the pantry shelves and the china cup
board. This combination pantry is a
sort of cross between the modern store
room pantry and an old-fashioned but
ler's pantry.
There are other interesting features
about this house indicated by the
plans, such as the combination stair
way going up from the kitchen and
from the front room, the hall coat
closet and the convenient cellarway
with shelves for jelly glasses and other
storage, all of which require a house
about this size If you expect to work
them all in. You can have some Of the

Most people like large rooms; but
large rooms call for a large house.
This plan is 81 feet 6 inches by SO
feet in size and is built on the square
order, severely plain in design and gen.
eral treatment. Instead of crowding
in as many rooms as possible, they are
made larger than is customary at the
present time; but it gives to the
house an air of old-fashioned comfort
that is quite luxurious.
Luxury means in many cases some
thing that is difficult to secure. Since
the advance in prices of labor, wages
of skilled mechanics, prices Of hard
ware and most building materials the
tendency has been to build smaller
houses and smaller rooms. Probably
the after maintenance has as much to
do with the general trend towards
smaller hogseS~as~any other consider
alton, because 1t Is almost impossible
to obtain help of the right kind to keep
a large house In order after you get
IL. linen the extra COST OF neatlnB a
large house is a serious objection to
some people; but the improvements in
hot-air furnaces and in hot-water and
steam heaters have gone a long way
to reduce cost in this respect.
The shape of the house also has a
great deal to dc with the cost of heat
ing. A house built after this design
is very compact. There are no side
rooms to carry the heat to at a disad-
vantage; so with a modern heater in
the basement this house may be kept
comfortable for less money than the
heating of a much smaller house would
have cost ten or fifteen years ago.
These are the days of large living
rooms. People have found that at
least n room in the house should be
as large, as light, and as airy as it
is possible to make it. Across the
front Of this house, IA by So feet in
side measurement, is practically one
great room with a fireplace in one end
and with plenty of large windows that
are in keeping with the general char
acter of the house.
This large living room is intended
to be one of the main decorative fea-

an individual or per cent. basis;
such a basis will permit of either
part or whole payment by the State.
We may, therefore, state as another
cardinal principle, that the State
appropriations should be on a per
capita basis.
The Board of State Aid and
Charities feels that if these prlncl-
pies were wcyked out in detail for
the various classes of appropriations,
there would be no criticism of the
employment Of institutions to Or
carnations under religious denoml-
nations to do work for the State.
There is no reason why separa-
ton of Church and State. should de-
tail separation of Religion and
State. 1t is the opinion of many
that this country, in its efforts to
get away from a State Church, has
gone so far as to encourage I'M
religious class of citizens. Man is
religious animal, and any State
which does not encourage the de-
veIopment of the religious side Of
man, is encouraging a one-sided ma
ton.

same upon all institutions or other
persons taking care of this cfass,no
matter whether they get State mo-
ney or not, for the State can then
logically say to any institution
which is taking care of the people
whom it recognizes to be its char
ges, "You shall live up to the
standards that We have set for
ourselves or turn your charges over
to u.s."
The State owes it TO the tax
payers to take care Of these classes
which it is under obligations to
take care of, at the very least pos
sible expense. If 1t can erect in
situations and perfect organizations
who shall do the work in accor-
dance with its standards cheaper
than it can get private institutions
to do the same work, it should erect
such Institutions; if not, it should
hire private institutions to DO this
work for it, but payment to the
private institutions who do the WORK
should be based on the amount OF
work that the institution does.
Where the State is able to contrib
ute a part Of the expense, it neces-
sarily must work through private
agencies.
Having once set down the STAN
dard as outlined above, it would
ascertain the least possible cost Of
carrying out that standard,an then
pay it's agents that amount, or such
Ger cent. thereof as the State feels
able to pay. Since practically all
of the work done is to individuals,
the cost can readily be reduced TIC
