Flowing I'm Winter.

There Is a diversity Of opinion as
to the advisability of blowing In win
ter.
It Is generally conceded. however,
that sod lands should be plowed In
the winter season. The freezing and
thawing Of the soil put it In much
better condition than it can be put
by the plow and harrow after the
spring has opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage the crops
if they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moisture
laid up In the soil and saved for the
use Of the growing crop the next veal

NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.

BY Norman.
New York, Jan. 20.-New York's
new system of police lamp alarms"
had a fine testing-out few nights
ago.
And the servants in a palatial
home on Park avenue had fine
scare, followed by a swell job of
cleaning-up.
And there wasn't any cause for
the alarm and the scare and the sub
sequent manual labor except an
imaginative woman seeing things" -;
1t was about $3.50 of a misty,
mostly evening when the telephone
rang in the home of Mrs. Richard
CambriIl, 80 Park avenue. The
housekeeper answered. Mrs. Cam
brill was dining out.
"Are you having your roof re-
paired?" asked a woman's voice.
The housekeeper replied in the mega
tive. "Then there are burglars on
your roof" said the voice, whose
owner explained that she lived across
the street and had for some time
been watching two men on the roof
of the Cambria home.
A hurried consultation was held
by the housekeeper, the butler, a
couple Of footmen, some maids and
a cook or two. None of the male
members of the corps was inclined
to visit the upper stories and see
what was doing, so the butler passed
the buck by calling up the police.
In that very neighborhood nice new
green lamps, on corner posts, have
just been installed as police signals.
The desk lieutenant who got the
alarm received it with job and
switched on the green glow. In few
seconds every lamp in the precinct
was flashing. In a few seconds more
a policeman had telephoned head
quarters, gotten the address of the
threatened premises and was dashing
thitherward In his wake came a

-O-O
DIARY OF FATHER TIME
When you sight in a draught and
sneeze two or three times, some one
will probably inform you that you
are catching cold. The Germans usu-
ally say good health" and similar
wishes are expressed by others.
Sneezing now, however, does not
seem to create such hubbub as it
did thousand of years ago.
II remember, a long time ago, it was
believed that men never sneezed
more than once and then promptly
died; all were therefore ordered to
make some salutatory exclamation
after another had sneezed. The cere-
monies attending the sneezing of the
king of Monomotapa show what a
national concern was the sneeZe of
the ruler. Those who were near him
when it happened saluted him in so
loud a tone that those in the ante
chamber heard it and joined in the
reclamation; in adjoining apartments
they did the same until the noise
reached the street and spread
throughout the city.
When the king of Sennea sneezed.
his courtiers Immediately turned
their backs upon him and loudly
slapped their right thigh.
