Ways Of Cleaning Kitchen
Iron Ware.

There is usually more Or less iron
about a kitchen, and this iron must be
more or less frequently cleaned.
1t it has not been exposed to damp
ness and is not rusty washing with hot
soapsuds or weak sal soda water and
rubbing dry with a cloth is all that will
be required.

Fragrance of Flowers.

Flowers are more fragrant when
the sun is not shining on them, ac-
cording to French scientist, because
the oils that produce the perfume are
forced out by the water pressure in
the plant cells and this is diminished

A journey in search of primitive
race of mountaineers living within
fifty miles of New York city might
seem to be an impossible quest, re-
marks the New Y rk Evening Post.
Yet it is true that less than fifty
miles away there exists a people and
civilization-among the several
hundreds who compose it-as back
ward in all conditions of life as the
mountaineers, the "covites" and poor
"white trash" of the most inacces-
sible regions in Virginia and the
Carolinas and in Tennessee. These
people, for the most part in the
Ramapo mountains, are in nearly ev-
cry respect precisely like the noun
taineer type in the south, except for
the most remarkable fact that they
dwell within an hours journey of
New York.
Twice in the last month attention
has been called to the Ramapo noun
taineers. Recently it was announced
that Mrs. edward Fl. Hartman,
whose estate is situated at Arden in
the Ramapos, had given $1,000 for
the employment of social worker

Mayor Morse told The RECORD,

intended enforcing the ordinances

The mayor intends to look after

Now, we have no fault to find
with either Mr.. Kulp or his plat
form, but we do have distinct and
serious objection to basis Of Con-
gressional representation that ties a
rural county like Hunterdon to an
urban county like Mercer, where a
city predominates so largely as to
determine the election.
Judging from past performances,
rural Hunterdon will continue to be
represented in Congress by man
from Mercer. Ira w. Wood made
such a good representative that the
anti-Mercer feeling in Hunterdon
was not very strong, but now that
Allan B. Walsh hasn't satisfied even
the Mercer people, Hunterdon isn't
satisfied either.
Some of these days us folks in the
rural districts will be represented in
Congress, and whether we send a
college professor or Digger Indian
will be our business. We 'spect,
though, that it will be some horny
handed farmer, too ignorant to
know better, who will go right
ahead and solve some of the prob
lens that our great statesmen have
been racking their brains over for
years.

Although the practice OF making

have been prohibited by law, still
in some rural districts and cities the
authorities of the court have not

Use One Of the Spark Plugs When You
Have No Matches.
Did you ever while making an auto
mobile tour find yourself on a lonely
country road. perhaps miles from the
nearest house. and suddenly discover
that you had no matches? II you
were anxious to light the lamps or ca
ger for q smoke such discovery
would not prove at oil conducive to
the smoothness of your temper
There is simple way in which any
one may secure light without the aid
of matches. You may be anxious for
a smoke or 1t may be getting dark and
you want to light your lamp, but in
any event you can secure the neces-
sary light if you will follow these d.
rections:
Unscrew one of the spark plugs and
let 1t lie on the cylinder head. Wrap
small wisp Of waste around the end Of
any small stick of wood or II there is
none handy wrap 1t around the end of
a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip
the waste in the gasoline until 1t is
thoroughly soaked. OF course you
should have only very small piece of
waste; otherwise the blaze will be too
big for you to handle. After dipping
this In the gasoline lay 1t close to the
spark plug and turn the engine over un.
til this plug sparks. This will ignite
the waste and you will have a little
torch sufficient for lighting your lamp.
Even II there is n heavy rain or snow,
you can secure light In this manner
sufficient for your needs Free

He took dirty ball from his pocket,
made an easy sort Of swipe at 1t. and
have never seen ball so eager to
get to the hole as that one was. His
method Of attack seemed to consist Of
one or two iron shots and putt. |

allowed me to win hole or two. I

People Of Korea Wear the Largest
Hats In the World.


Hats In the World.
What would you think Of hat that
was SO large 1t would safely shelter
your father, mother, sisters and your
self under 1t should sudden rain
storm come up? The men of Korea
like these enormous hats and would
not feel properly dressed without them.
These hats look like great flower pots
set on round table six feet across.
The crowns are nine feet In height and
three inches wide, much like chin
ney on a one story house. How do
you suppose these large, round head
coverings are kept on? Under the
brim Is small, closely fitting cap. held
on by padded string which ties under
the ears. The material Of these hats is
bamboo. SO finely split that 1t is like
thread, and lastly they are vanished
to keep out the sun and rain and the
wind.
You know that the Korean people al
ways wear cotton clothing, so these
big hats protect them far more than
our hats possibly could. In the rainy
season cones Of oiled paper are at
tached to the big bamboo head cover
ingS in the shape Of tunnels, so, sup
pose. that the rain pours off Of them
Just as water does or ducks back.
A Korean keeps his hat on when we
should take It Off. Soldiers wear black
or brown felt hats decorated with red
horse hair or peacock feathers, and
hanging from the sides, over the ears
and around their necks are oval balls
of porcelain, amber and queer kind
of gum.-Sunbeam.

THE TOMB OF TUsITULA.

Samoan Natives Keep stevenson's
Grave Buried In Flowers.
1t was in December. 1894, that Ste
venson died at vaiIima, near Apia. on
the Island of Upolu, in the Samoan
group. Lovers Of this quaint charac-
ter--the modern who was an ancient,
the ancient who was a modern, the
contemporary who became classic
because he translated new things into
thoughts for all time-will be glad to
know that since then he has slept in a
distant grave, but not in a neglected
one. For the natives Of that island
keep his tomb on the lonely mountain
side fragrant with flowers. ''The tomb
Of Tusitula," they call it-that was the
great Scots Samoan name.
Stevenson went to live in Samoa in
1887. He was comparatively young
man, but he had seen the vanihes Of
the world, and. capdvated by the eli
mate, the scenery. and the kindly char
acter of the natives, he at once deter
mined to live out whatever space Of
life might remain to him in that for
tunate island And there he did live
for seven years. Long ere he died he
wrote his own epitaph, and that cpl
taph is graved on the brass tablet that
was put there in 1896:
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did live and gladly die
And laid me down with will.
This be the verse that you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be.
Home is the sailor. home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill"

the camel and the elephant disappear

vanish. He has seen the motorcycle

Bavarian Distances.

In the Bavarian highlands signposts
along the roads. instead Of stating the
number of miles or kilometers to the
various villages, give the amount Of
time which the average pedestrian will
supposedly take to traverse the dis
lance. This is merely an official ex-
preston of the very general custom Of
the peasants In the region, who invari-
ably tell inqulrers on the roads not
how far 1t is to a place, but how long
It takes to get there.
For instance. one asks, How far is
1t to Oberammergau?'
"A small half hour" will be the an
swer, or perhaps "a good half hour"
or "a big half hour
Which is puzzling until the stranger
learns that a "smal half hour" means
twenty-five minutes, "a good half hour"
thirty minutes and "a big half hour

WONDERFUL WOOD.
There Is Practically No Limit to the
Life Of Greenheart.


A most wonderful wood is that Of
the tropical tree called greenheart
The tree belongs to the laurel family
and is exported mainly from the is
land of Trinidad and British Guiana.
The wood is so nearly indestructible
that no limit to its life Is known. It is
used chiefly in ship and dock building.
The wood is proof against the white
ant on land and the teredo in salt wa
ter. A United States government re-
port says:
Greenheart has been known to stand
in wharves for over thirty years, and
logs that have remained under water
for hundred years are in perfectly
sound condition.
Greenhearts extraordinary resist
ance to decay is probably owing to the
presence Of an alkaloid known as BIZ
brine and also to certain resinous sub
stances known as tyloses. The latter
are reddish brown masses of living
cells that grow in solid masses within
little cavities that they often fill COM
pletely. As they grow with the tree
they turn black and make the wood Of
the older trees black.
As in all tropical trees. whose growth
is continuous through the year. there
are no annual growth rings. The trees
probably do not reach maturity under
$50 years. A greenheart tree is from
sixty to hundred feet In height. 1t
Is an evergreen without knots and has
a broad. open crown. The wood weighs
about seventy-fve pounds to the cubic
foot and resists crushing force of
10000 pounds to the square inch.--
