Pairing OF For Dinner.

The custom Of walking to the dining
room arm il arm, taking lady In to
dinner" strange though 1t may seem,
Is comparatively modern. as prior to
the middle If The eighteenth century 1t
was the custom for the hostess to go In
to dinner first. the ladies following In
order of r,nl; ard the gentlemen after.
all IN single file. also in the order OF
rank. the host being last. This, how
ever, gave rise to so many dueis on
questions OF precedence both among
the ladius and the gentlemen that the
custom OF pairing OFF, was begun In
order that no dispute might arise, 1t
being one Of the customs Of society
that no duel challenge could be given
In the presence Of the lady concerning
whom the dispute had arisen.-New
York American.

Believes Maine Fortunate.

Maine is fortunate in her Commission
er of Agriculture, and given health suf-
ficient for his tasks, he will prove good.
A good student, faithful worker, a
long time dairy man, hogmaD, and poul'
tryman, he has had the experience which
will fit in peculiar manner for the duties
of the Office. Ten years ago, when the
new law became operative, the Farmer
gave Mr.. Roberts it's support, knowing
then the strong qualities Of thelman. II
be has failed in some ways to win merit.
ed bonors, 1t has not been because his
qualifications were not recOgn' zed, but
rather that he would not stoop to manip-
ulate wires and trade off bis friends. AS
representative and senator, he was al.
ways loyal to the farm and earnest in its
support in every way possible. As Mas
ter of Oxford Co. Pomona, he strength
ened the order yearly by bis wise coun-
sells and his consistent policy. Such q
man 1t Is safe to tie to, and the friends
of progressive agriculture may we'll rally
TO his support. There's a great work
for the department to do, and with the
close bond Of fellowship existing among
the workers, there's no question about
results.
Bro. Roberts will faithfully strive TO
aid every worker, promote every worthy
enterprise, and unite with everybody,
striving to advance interest In the home

Iona Distance Laundry.

Some Of the smart set Frenchmen OF
today send their linen to London to be
washed Their ancestors used to go
even further afield In search OF good
laundry work. So far back as the SIX
teenth century Frenchmen had their
washing done IN Holland, where the
soft water of the dikes was supposed
to impart special gloss to linen. This
practice appears to have lasted until
the close Of the eighteenth century. for
Sebastian Mercier. in his 'Tableau do
Paris" published shortly before the
French Revolution, protests against the
patronage by the rich Of the Dutch, to
the exclusion Of native laundresses.
Still more remarkable is the fact men,
toned In the Memories du Comte de
vaublanc." that wealthy merchants In
Bordeaux used to send their linen all
the way to san Domingo to be washed.

Medical Fees In Bysone Days.

At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the usual fees to physicians
and surgeons III England were Ito
graduate In physick. his due Is about
10 shillIngs, though he commonly ex-
poets or demands 20 shillIngs. Those
that are only licensed physicians. their
due Is no more than 6s. 3d., though
they commonly demand 10 shillings.
"A surgeons fee is II pence q
mile, be his journey near or far. 10
groats to set bone broke or out OF
Joint aud for letting blood shilling;
the cutting or amputation Of any limb
is f5, but there Is no settled fee for

the fee according to the pocket OF tho
patient Is almost as old as history

Man's Dual Mature,

The PROFESSIONAL mind for all its
acuteness is liable to occasional lapses.
like less highly trained intellects. One
amusing case in point Is reported IN
the Philadelphia Public Ledger:
A certain professor was struggling to
make the point that both parents have
IN equal influence upon child.
For" he continued gravely, "a man
Is as much the son Of his father as he
IL the daughter of his mother"

A Spool Trick.

Run a pin its whole length through
the middle OF card. Place the card
on the end Of spool in such way as
to allow the pin to hang down In the
hole In the spool. Hold the spool up
right and blow into the open end.
However hard you blow, you will not
be able to force the card away. II you
blow steadily you can even turn the
spool downward and the card will still
refuse To drop.
The card is held In place by suction.
The thin film Of air escaping with
much force in all directions between
the end OF the spool and the card pre-
sents a smooth surface to which the
card adheres as 1t would to glass, but
with greater force. for the film Of air Is
even smoother than glass. The pin
serves only to prevent the card from
working OF ut one side.-YOuth's Com

Tho Old Bedlam.

Bethlehem pronounced Bedlam), the
London lunatc asylum, was originally
founded In 1247 as priory. but Ia
spoken Of as a hospital for lunatics In
1472, and when the church was de-
spoiled 1t was granted to the city OF
London as such an asylum. At one
time the wretched inmates were exhib
lted to the public like 30 many wild
beasts. as Pepys notes in his diary and
Hogarth shows in one Of his sketches
Patients that were harmless or hall
cured were given badges and released
to beg on the streets. Edgar In "kine
Lear" impersonates one OF these wan
dering Tom-o'-Bsdlams.

Soil Gets Hungry Too.

OF all animals kept on the farm the
dairy cow is the most eminent. she is
the farmers highest trump card 10
building up the fertility OF his soil;
Many eastern dsirymen have attempted
to set the milk producing end of the busi.
ness over against the crop growing END
and from the unwelcOme results have
come the growing recognition OF the fact
that plants and animals-dairy cows and
grain and forage crops-are economi'
cslly inseparaole. In its best estate the
dairy farm produces the food for the
cows, writes an expert IN Farm ana
Home. One cannot neglect the growing
of forage and grain crops and lind ms
largest return through highly special
lied dairy business.
The greatest question before the dairy
farmer today is that Of growing suitable
food crops and its reciprocal effect upon
the fertility OF his farm. The great need
of a wider growth OF forage crops is
shown by the present tendency toward
the depletion of available fertility. lu
mauy cases we are growing too little and
buying too much, both Of feed and fer
tility.
Many dairy men buy tons of CONNER
cial feedstuffs, not to supplement but t.
piece out the home grown supply. Ic
buy feeds which will balance up tho de-
fcisucy of protein in the homegrown
supply is entirely proper, providing the
right kind is purchased. Feeds IKE
cottonseed meal, oil meal and gluten
which possess q high fertilizing value
are the real supplements, as they usual,
supply the compounds that are deficient
on dairy farms.
Stable manure and the roots and stub
BILE of the legume and grain crops turnec
under will liberats sufficient potassium
Phosphorus is the one element that II
| most likely to be deficient. 1t is sup
piled in limited quantities by stable ma
nure. but that source is inadequate
Acid phosphate mixed with manure DO

cheney on this element. Its use pay
handsomely on the average dairy farm

An EIusive Paintino.

l. Carroll Beckwith, the artist, once
told story about weird painting he
happened to run across In little art
shop in Paris. He looked at 1t FOR some
time with interest, thinking 1t to be
design for Persian rug.
"What nice hearth rug! he re-
marked approximately to the saleswo-
man.
"Nonsense! replied she. That's not
a hearth rug. That's Portrait! And
she proceeded to point out hands and
features IN what to Beckwith was SIM
ply n bewildering mass Of paint.

Beckwith with admiration.
"Oh, as to seeing It." answered the
saleswoman. you never can tell. Some
times we see II and sometimes we
don't."-New York Post.

Whom Enor.n nd Wa. Drunken.

In an article In the London Lancet on
Drunkenness and the Physiological
Effect Of Alcohol" Or. Charles Mercer
draws this picture Of conditions In
England before 1t became "a sober ma
tion:" "In those days the doctor was
often half seas over when he attended
his drunken patient; Judge. counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocatons In
court In prevailing atmosphere OF hot
coppers. The prime minister went
drunk to the house Of commons, where
he was attacked by the leader Of tho
opposition. also drunk, while order was
kept by speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits,
and the coarser kinds Of distilled
liquors were rIdIculously cheap. As
you passed along the by streets Of Lon
Ion, and perhaps Of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung out
over the drink cellars. Here you may
get drunk for penny; dead drunk and
clean straw for tuppence.'
