of her own invention.
There" said the Philosopher, "there
you have che of the original tendencies
of all people, the natural desire to mas
querade as something other than they
are. and to dance for pleasure at the
fooling."
That is the way the mask ball origi-
mated. long before there were draper
les and artificial flowers.
The masked balls Of to-day which
. mark the height of the carnival season
can be traced way, way back into tho
dim past history just because of the
| innate love of Disgusting ones self that
is in every one of US, even in the most
self important person. The latter have
It well under control and only disguise
themselves when they want to do
things of which they are ashamed.
In the earliest times masked dances
were held in honor Of the dead. and the
dancers who were mourners wore
painted wooden faces resembling those
Of the departed. Such dances still oc-
cur among the Japanese.
The Greeks had their masked revels,
but it was the dignified old Roman,
searching for romance, mystery and ed =
venture, that gave the masquerade the
impetus that launched it on a success
full career which viii never end as
long as there is youth in the old world.
The old Romans had a very sharp
wit, and it was much. simpler 10 say a
few singing things about ones enemies
when one was disguised or masked,
| There was much less danger and more
fun. and one could enjoy the discom-
fort of others without suffering for it,
which was pleasing and safe.
One could do things which We're any
thing but dignified because one was
disguised, and it is for this reason that
the mask ball of our own day is still
popular with the old as we'll as the
young.
The Italians have inherited the love
Of the mask from their Roman fore
bears and they have added to it and
developed it, drawing from all the re
sources of the land Of art.
The great mask balls and carnNals
are held in Italy or In countries where
the happy southern temperament Is
strong. While the masked balls Of the
northern people are often gorgeous,
they lack the spontaneity and the joy
Gus gayety OF the masks held under
SUMMER skies.
During the Italian Renaissance the
masked revels given by great princes
were impressive and costly, and they
were the scenes Of many romantic
episodes. These balls were staged bv
the greatest artists. Titan himself did
not disdain 10 make sketches for the
frocks Of some Of the ladies', and the
great painter Of kings was always get
ting into debt because OF his love OF
these magnificent pageants, which he

A sure cure for broodiness in hens

Of pipe through. The ends of the pole
should extend about one foot beyond

by dropping the ends into two forked
posts. 1t Is impossible for a hen to
sit on the Slated bottom. II she tries
it, the rocking and tipping of the
coop makes her give up in disgust.
The only steady thing about the
coop is the pole passing through the
center, and the most persistent

RADIsHES GOOD MONEY CROP
They Are Easy to Grow, Develop
Quickly and There Is Little Ex.
pense in Producing Them.

For the gardener who lives near q
good market early radishes often
prove a r 1ney-making crop. From
the open garden, radishes are the first
crop in the spring that can be turned
into money. They are easy TO grow.
develop quickly and there is little
expense in producing them.
The first showing should be made
very early-the first day the ground
dries OF little on top. Make another
sowing week or ten days later, and a
third week after that. II one sowing
fails another will come on all right.
Even though all three sowings pro-
duces crops, these successive sowings
are necessary in order to provide crisp,
tender radishes for several weeks,
writes W. F. Purdue In Farm and
Home. Most varieties grow very
quickly and soon become woody and
unsuitable for use.
The seed can be sown broadcast or
drilled in rows Q foot apart. Either
way Is all right because a crop will
make Itself before any wedding is
necessary. Use seed at the rate Of
about six pounds per aaac and more
nice specimens will be produced than
II sown thicker.
Az soon as the first radishes are
ready to pull, select the largest and
incest, wash them well and tie in
punches of six or twelve. Early in the
season the stores pay US FIVE cents per
bunch OF IL, little later ten cents for
three punches, and finally two cents
per bunch, when it no longer pays to
bother with them. The remainder OF
the crop may be plowed under and
the ground put to something else.
The little turnip-rooted sorts are
preferred in most markets and pay
well. The only expense in producing
radishes is the seei, which costs from
10 to Is cents per ounce, and the work
of sowing the seed and harvesting the
crop.

Guilty. The salt must be stored in a
clean, dry place, as it readily absorbs
moisture and foreign odors from the
air.
The object of working butter is to
uniformly distribute the salt and give
the butter a plastic consistency. The
old primitive method of working but.
ter by the hands is still in vogue in
some places 1t is very undesirable in
all cases to get the hands directly in
contact with the butter. 1t is not only
highly unsanitary, but it spoils both
the grain Of the butter and its appear
ance. When the hands come in con-
tact with the butter it melts, making
It oily and greasy, at the same time
giving 1t dead, dirty gray color.
Many farmers making only q small
amount Of butter use bowl or tray
and paddle, which is great deal
better than using the hands.

any reason the first wash water looks
milky, a second washing may be
necessary.
One very important factor to be
considered in washing butter is the
temperature Of the water II the
churning temperature has been right
and the butter has come in good con-
dition, the temperature OF the wash
water should be the same as that of
the buttermilk. II the butter comes
soft, 1t may be necessary to use a
lower temperature, and II too hard a
higher temperature Extremes should
be avoided in all cases, az too warm
water will cause a soft, greasy butter,
while too cold water will make the
butter appear brittle and tallowy and
cause difficulty in getting the salt well
dissolved.
The salt should be added before
working is begun, then it is possible
to get the salt distributed evenly with
a minimum amount Of working.
AS rule, one ounce of salt to each
pound Of butter is sufficient The use
OF cheap. coarse salt should be
avoided, as it often contains chemical

Periis of the Aviator,

foolish questions that aviators and

know: But what IL your engine stops
in the air-what happens? Can't you
