NICE THINGS TO KNOW.

A cut lemon or a Bermuda onion
may be kept fresh a long time by
turning the cut side down on a plata
and covering with waxed paper.
In a small kitchen where every inch
OF floor space is valuable have a camp
chair, and when not In use hang on
hook.
Dishes to cool on the ice arc often
most unstable, use q few old can rub
bers on the ice to keep the dishes from
slipping.
When filling salt and pepper shak-
ers use an orange spoon. 1t will save
spilling the salt or pepper.
When travelling with young children
and the stocking is torn or needs
mending use a piece Of court plaster
1t will serve splendid for a time. Ap-
ply the plaster dampened to the wrong
side of the hose.
When adding water to a vase Of
flowers. many spots on polished furni-
ture would be avoided by using
small funnel.
Tennis shoes are fine for wearing
about the house when scrubbing or
cleaning floors.
A short piece Of uncooked macaroni
put into a berry pie In the opening
made for the escape Of steam will
serve for a chimney and the juices
will not waste, but boil up In this
small funnel
When glass shoppers are obstinate
about being removed a drop Of oil
and a quick tap will loosen them.
Cut the round sandwiches with q
baking powder can. Several may be
cut at time.
Bath mats may be made from old
bed spreads when they are of heavy
quality. The lighter weight makes
good wash cloths.
A small towel and a holder with a
cord attached, both fastened to the
apron belt are great helps to a busy
house mother, when cooking.
Transplant a few asters into the
vegetable garden and when the vege-
tables are gone in the fall there will
be something worth while to look at
To try is better than the thing you try
for,
To hope is higher than the height at
tained.
To love is greater than the love you
sigh for,
To seek is nobler than the object gained.
ITO wrestle with the anger'-this avails
Although the motive for the wrestling
fails.

Ten Die When Boat Sinks.

Newark Ten persons we're drowned
here when the pleasure boat Will
da, loaded with thirty colored per-
son attending the state reunion OF
Colored Elks sank in Buckeye lake.
The authorities claimed that over
loading of the boat was responsible
for the accident. The boat sank
mile out in the lake and every one
aboard was thrown into the water.
When it became known that the
boat was sinking a panic followed.
Many persons jumped into the lake
and were picked up by rescuers. The
boat is owned by the Del Fisher Boat
line and was in charge of Capt. Ralph

seIentlfic Shovellno.

For a first-class shoveler there is a
particular shovel load at which he will
do his biggest days work with no in
crease Of effort ON his part. To deter
mine what this load is a series Of
tests were made at the works of the
Bethlehem Steel company. Expert
enced shovelers, who could be depend
ed on to do trustworthy work, were
selected and tests were made with
shovel loads varying from FIVE pounds
to 40 pounds, with the result that a
load OF 21 pounds was found to be the
one giving the greatest efficiency.
With the 21-pound load shoveler will
do as much as 20 per cent. more work
than with loads that are great deal
less than this, and with less effort

Duck. an Important Food Supply.

Concerning certain features Of Es-
kimo life along the north coast of
Alaska, the account written by Vilh-
jalmar Stefansson says: I'm the spring
and summer ducks and geese. espe-
cially the former, are an important
item of diet. They are pursued in
kayaks when molting and killed with
clubs, and large numbers of them are
also secured by bolas throwing, for

OATS RECOGNIZED
AS ANIMAL FOOD
Plant, Like Wheat, Seems First
to Have Been DomestiCated in
Europe or Asia Minor.

The oat plant, like wheat, seems
first to have been domesticated In
Europe or Asia Minor. The Greeks
knew it and evidence is not lacking
that it was plentiful in the south OF
Italy during the time of Roman EN-
pire. 1t has been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings of the Bronze Age. 1t
seems that the Hebrews and Egyp-
tians did not cultivate the oat plant
but that it's ancient domestication was
largely confined to the country north
of Italy and Greece.
This plant has not been found in a
wild state and indications point to Its
origin from a single prehistoric form,
a native of eastern temperate Europe
and of Tartary.
Oats have always been recognized
as. a feed for domesticated animals,
and in times of scarcity as good food
for man. While the crop Is still
largely grown for horse feed, Its use
as human food has largely increased
in recent years.
