mails than IL generally realized. In
these days Of famine prices for eggs
it is interesting 10 learn that there
are 280,345,133 chickens in the
country, or an average Of nearly
three fowls for every man, woman
and child. rPhey are valued at 1884,
663, 220, or 50 cents apiece. Only
chickens over three months old are
included in this report.
The number Of horses, as might
be supposed, has not increased as
rapidly as the population, but de-
spite the almost universal automo-
biles there are still nearly 10000, 900
horses in the United States, which
are valued at more than 81, 100000
900.
1t is rather surprising to find that
there are more than 60,000,000
cattle, valued at more than $780,
100000. The number of sheep has
declined in the past decade, but
there are still more than 5O,OO0,O00,
which represent a wealth Of $232,-
100000. Not the least important
item Of national wealth is the swine,
which number about 60,000,000,
and whose value is almost exactly
$400,0O0,00O.

Glasco Sun. eve all use rawhide

amazingly. One day drove down
to the river bottom more than a
mile from home, and loaded up
three-quarters Of cord Of pecan
wood.
"Just as / had finished loading a
shower came up and the water that
fell was as hot as the so-called hot
coffee in restaurants. Well, / start

TO stretch, but the wagon never
budged. drove on home and when

stretched out as small as shoestrings.

CLUB FOR CHINESE WOMEN

tails May Learn English.

A club for Chinese women is about
to be formed at the Chatham Square
Public library. Miss Alison Baigrie,
Librarian, who is one of the few
American women who is regarded az
a friend by the cautious Chinese, has
felt for some time that the women
OF Chinatown should learn more Of
American ways.
a few Of them come here 10 the
library for books" she said, ''but
they never stay TO read They are
afraid. It seems 10 me great pity
that when one adventuresome spirit
has the courage to cross Chatham
square and brave the men on the
sidewalks to come here she might
get something out Of it. l want to
teach her to speak English and to
understand our ways"
Miss Baigrie has ordered one hun
dred new books from China and as
soon az they come she is going to
invite all her Chinese friends to a
book feast mi private room, where
they may forget their shyness and
have such a good time they viii want
TO come again soon. Miss Baigrie
has discovered that the Chinese are
especially fond Of detective stories.

THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE.

me Umpire is a paper published in the East penitentiary of Pennsylva- mia. It's pages contain frequent testi- mony by the convicts to the influence Of drink in the wrecking of their lives. Writes one: Seventy per cent Of crime Is attributed to drink. Why not make an effort to burn our bridges and cut off the principal @use of our being here? A petition signed by 1,400 men and women in this place would carry more weight and be ten times as effective as any petition signed by a similar number of people on the outside. Liquor is the cause of 70 Der cent of us being here. It is the cause of S5 per cent Of parole violations. Let us add our little weight to the temperance cause as selfish precautionary measure, if for no better motive.'
 Says another. Many men are so- cial outcasts through the use of liquor It was the cornerstone of my undoing Through it l gained acquaintances and lost friends. Sacrificed the wear ing of good, comfortable clothes to buy it. slept in barns and open fields rather than buy a comfortable nights lodging, and called myself a wise guy while the saloonkeeper, the lob ster, went to a warm bed, and good victuals cozy home and loving wife, taking with him the earnings of a poor man. It was the cause of lead ing me often to beggary. It Is causing men to go to jails for villainy It is wife's woe and children's sorrow and neglect. It makes self-murderer out of man who drinks to another's good health, and robs him of his own"

That election law that is beino worked out by special committee ap- pointed by the State Democratic Con vention, of which Stephen Brundidge IS chairman, is going to be a drastic one, from all accounts. The present laws are sufficiently drastic, but courts have held that they cannot be invoked Tn primaries, and it is primaries with which the people of Arkansas have to deal. The primary in this state is virtually the election. Therefore the committee will devote the major DOT ton of it's wokr to the manner in which contests may be handled, so that the contestee may get to the bottom of his claim; and to the qualifications for voting. Should steps be taken to prevent voting by those who are too ignorant to handle their own tick ct, this would deprive the election judges of much of their present DOW CT, and it Is figured that it would be material help in some counties. In addition to this the law will require immediate returns from all boxes. Voting with duplicate tickets, through the use of carbon paper, to which the signature of any voter may be at tached, is another suggested change In the law. It is certain that the committee will also propose change in the present manner of appointment of election commissioners, this being considered one of the greatest evils of the present system.

lean foods.
To the melon family belong three
distinct groups. the watermeIons.
muskmelons, or cantaloupes. and Cit
ron melons. Very close cousins to
this group are the members of the
Sourd family, with its many pump
Yin. squash, and cucumber varieties.
The distinguishing traits of the en-
tire family are very high amount Of
water, low amount of starch, and
delicate flavors. Just because of
these qualities. melons form the right
food for hot weather diet. Since
there is no heat or energy produc-
ing value in any of them, they can
be classed solely as refreshments.
and their use in the diet is to purify
the blood, cool IL, and form a pleas
ant way of taking in additional
amounts of water.
Another characteristic of the en-
tire group is that the fruit must be
eaten when exactly ripe. While we
may cook over-ripe other vegetab les
or fruits, the melon family demand
to be eaten only at that psychology
cal moment when their delicacy of
flavor and perfect ripening have made
the pulp delicious, fragrant, creamy
mass It is claimed also that most
of this family have medicinal quail
ties. and the juice of watermelon,
muskmelon, and the seeds of pump
kin, and cucumber are excellent in
many diseases of liver and excretory
organs.
Melons are most gencrallylimited in
their manner of serving to being
eaten cold as a dessert. but both
the watermelon and musknelon lend
themselves to other treatment. es-
pecially in salads or frozen dishes
made of the pulp. In other coun-
tries. both squash and cucumber
are cooked differently from our usual
method. Rings of cucumber are
dipped in batter and fried and taste
like very delicate egg plant. The
outer peel is removed from the COM
mon yellow "crookneck" which can
also be fried and which thus devel-
opes a stronger and equally pleas
ant flavor. Since the great bulk of
these fruits is made up of water.
our method OF cooking should be
such as to lose as little Of the water
as possible. But, unfortunately.

boiling sections of II in a quantity
Of water. This is entirely wrong.
Steaming Is the only possible means
Of cooking squash without waste, or
else II may be fried. dipped IN bat
ter. or baked if a water variety.
Since all of this group are very
tasteless in themselves. and yet of a
clear grain. rather firm pulp. they
lend themselves excellently to being
picked or made into any spiced
conserve. Half of the cost OF a
watermelon NAV be saved by utiliz-
ing the rind in making sweet pickle.

Ariosto's first love was beautiful
girl, who was once dearer to him. he

he immortalized as Ginevra di Scotia In
his "OrIando Furioso." With the pro-
verbal fickleness of bard, however,
he abandoned this girl for the young
and buxom widow of Tito StrozZi, a
Florentine noble. who. from loving the
poet $ lucuh rations. was tempted to love
the poet himself. She looked seductive
