Che Beart Of the Year

Musk-brown and yellow and crimson, and gold,
See how the leaves falling, falling;
Flooding the paths with wealth untold,
Waiting faint scent of MOSES and mold,
While the restless wind is calling.
Spring is the time of fresh hopes and joys,
When the years youthful heart is a-throbbng;
Then Summer reigns with proud, queen-ike poise
Till the wild Autumn wind a-sobbing.
And Autumn ah Autumn, with brown scented leaf,
See how the leaves falling, falling,
But the years wintry heart is broken with grief,
And Winter steals up like guilty white thief,
And the wind is forever calling

A muleless, trackless, motorless
coal mine is one of the latest ana
most novel improvements in open cut
or strip pit mining in the Pittsburg
(KanO coal field. The style Of mining
itself, where steam shovels are used,
is comparatively new.
In two or three of the twenty-five
strip pits in this country lifting
cranes on the banks of the cuts are
used to elevate five-ton skips of coal
to the surface, there depositing them

Funny stories Are Told.

From the London CHRONICLE.
1t is difficult to find the genesis OF
the funny story. You know the one OF
the lady who objected to the man
smoking in the railway carriage. She
plucked off his cigar and flung it out
of the window. The man picked up
her pet dog and hurled it after his
cigar, because both dogs and cigars
were illegal there. In weekend
reading ] have just found thai story
in Dostoevskis THE lido" told by a
Russian who had fought in the
Crimea. He was convicted of having
stolen it from a newspaper. The story
probably originated with Noah in the
overcrowded ark. And it is good to
think our ancestors laughed as heart
lily as we do.

Annearnncc of sfrcets.

From the Columbus, o., State Journal.
The cleanliness, the neatness, the
beauty of streets and sidewalks are
influences in behalf of good order
and exalted citizenship that are more
powerful than prisons or parks.
What city really is, Is told by the
character of her streets-not her
High or Broad streets, so much as
the streets out where the population
lives. What a city government
amounts to in establishing the char
acter of a city is more reflected in
the cutters and crossings than the
proud parade on the public occasions,
A foul or dirty street, bad and dan
gerous sidewalk, a gutter of stand
ing, muddy water destroy civic pride
and undermine a true citizenship.

Cutting Trees in Maine.

FROM In9 Lewiston
Daniel w. Smith well-known
local lumberman, has just put another
bolt in the romance of the Maine
woods. If he has his way the pic
turesque axmen of the lumber camps
will soon be quite obsolete. He has
invented a machine for putting EN-
completely out of business. Mr.
Smiths invention is nothing more
nor less than an appliance for saving
trees down with a minimum amount
of waste and labor.
In many Maine camps the old meth
cd of chopping trees has been ADAM
doned in favor of four husky woods
men and a bucksaw. 1t Is claimed
that much more of the valuable tim
Der at the butt of a tree can be
saved in this way than by chopping.
And now comes Mr.. Smith with what
he says is as great an improvement
over the bucksaw as the saw over
the ak.
Penobscot lumbermen who have
been trying the appliance out are
pleased with the result, and 1t is like
ly that next season will find many
of the eastern Maine lumber camps
equipped with the new device. With
1t O tree can be sawed so close to
the ground that a tote team can
pass directly over the stump without
even jostling the driver. 1t also af-
fords a saving in men, as only one
is required to operate it. The appli-
ance consists of folding, adjusta-
BILE leg to conform to the evenness
of the ground about the tree trunk.
On this machine Is mounted a slid
ing carrier, the feed for which is
En- fch Or FOL
and ratchet attachment. The carrier
is fitted with adjustable roller and
saw guides and a guide-bar with 4
roller carrier. The power is controlled
by folding brake. Mr.. Smith claims
that man eighty years old, child
ten, or a woman, eff she has the
right disposition" can fell woods
giants neatly and with dispatch by
using the new-fangled affair.

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted to making the batter so
stiff that when baked, the mullins are very
dry A muffin can be made almost as
Light and just as palatable Is q pop-over,
but to make light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center, a double-raise
baking powder such as X c must be used.
X c Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied,
so that the raising is sustained until the
muffin is baked through, and all danger Of
falling and becoming soggy is past.
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the mullins that
come out Of it.

Some HeLpful SUGGESTIONS

Mullins would be served on many more
breakfast tables if this meal were not
prepared so hurriedly that there is not time
enough to stir up mullins and bake them.
With K c double-raise baking powder, tho
batter may be stirred up the night before
and It set in cool place, it will remain
in partially leavened condition all night,
and the raising will be completed when put
in the oven in the morning No difference
will be noticed between mullins mixed the
night before and those mixed Immediately
before baking. This should not be
attempted however. with any of the old
fashioned single-acting baking powders.
The old fashioned way was to bake
mullins in hot oven, but this makes a
thick heavy crust and q soggy center,
which is unpalatable and hard to digest.
The proper and healthful way to bake
mullins Is to start the oven at a low
Temperature, just as for baking cakes.
When the mullins come up to the top of the
pan, the heat should be raised, and they
should be baked until crisp crust is
formed. This crust will be thin, and the
|centers will be found light and fluffy, but
thoroughly baked.
Always sift the -four and baking powder
together at least three times, no matter
what kind Of pastry is to be made. This
will insure its rising evenly and the Aou,
is lightened by having air sifted into it
Either water or milk may be used io
mullins. Milk will make the richer muir
and brown better, but water will answ
the purpose very nicely when milk is l
to be had.
