OUR QUESTION BOX

Was Blondin the real name of the
tieht-rope walker? Please tell me some
thing of his career
Blondin was an assumed name, his
real name being Jean Francois Grave
let. French. He had early training as
q tieht-rope walker in France, but his
first great feat was in 1859, when he
crossed Niagara Falls on a rope LOO
feet long and 100 feet above the wa
ter and repeated the performance sew
eral times with variations, as blind
folded, in a sack, trundling a wheel
barrow. on stills, carrying a man on
his back, sitting down midway while
he made and ate an omelette. These
performances put him at the head of
! tight-rope walkers. In 1861 he appear
ed in London at the Crystal Palace,
| turning somersaults on stills on a rope
stretched near the roof, 40 feet from
! the ground. He survived all these and
other daring feats and died in London
/ in 1897.

\ 17-year-old West Pawlet boy was
recently driving an automobile and
was paying more attention to five girl
companions than he was to steering
the machine with the result that the
machine veered into the ditch and was
overturned on the entire party, all es-
Gaping alive except the boy who was
pinned down by the steering wheel
and killed This may seem like a
cruel argument against allowing imma-
ture persons to operate motor verieles,
but it is none the less convincing on
that account

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

Place watch under tumbler near
the bed of a sick person, the ticking
will not then disturb him, but the
time piece may be easily reached.
Keep a roll of Numbered white goods
waist, a new piece will shrink and
pucker
Slip shoes into old stocking legs
when packing the trunk, using white
for the white shoes, tan for the tan
and black for the black shoes. They
can be easily seen and will be kept
from injuring anything they touch.
When slicing tomatoes use a knife
with saw teeth as they may be cut
better and thinner
When bottling ketchup or fruit
juices, put the corks into boiling water
and boil for twenty minutes, they will
be pliable and easily inserted into the
bottles.
Keep a roll of paper toweling in the
kitchen which is absorbent and if
grease is spilled use the paper instead
of a cloth n wipe it up. The paper
makes a good article to wipe out
plates before putting them into the
dish water
Icing For Angel Cake-Put cupful
of confectionery sugar in bowl, add
the unbeaten whites of two eggs and
mix with the sugar a little at time
until it is soft and creamy, add few
drops of vanilla and some cold water
from time to time until soft enough
to spread Do not beat.
Rice Waffies-To cup of boiled
rice add a cup and a half of milk. stir
until there are no Jumps. Add one
half teaspoonful of salt, two well beat
en- eggs and two cups of flour, sifted
with two teaspoonfuls of baking pow.
| der Bake quickly.

1t is said that Vermont S two repre-

itol, Ethan Allen and Jacob Collamer.
IN company with the other statues,
are extremely jealous Of Michigan 5
new representative, Zach Chandler.
1t seems that this statue shows the
former senator from Michigan attired
in a regular summer linen suit of cor
rect style. 1t is cool and elegant. The
frock coat looks like a fashion plate,
and the trousers have an edge like a
razor. Now, this ism t the style in
statuary hall, and the rest of the male
members of the hall of fame are ex-
tremely jealous of the effect this in

have upon the only lady in thelf

Indiana. Meanwhile Michigan s statue
has an ''I-should worry expression
on his face, but his latest advice is to
look out for the hero of Ticonderoga.
