the salt couldn't fly away, so it stayed in the kettles. Then they would scrape 1t out and pack it in bags or boxes and carry 1t away. That was the first factory for making salt out of salt water"
 Uncle Bob turned and turned the handle of the ice cream freezer as he talked.
 "Now-a-days, there are great big factories where they make salt Just think how much salt it takes for everybody In the whole world!
 Whenever there is a big under ground lake of salt water. they drive deep wells into the ground and pump the salt water up. Then it is run into long, shallow wooden boxes called heaters. with lot of copper pipes filled with steam, in them. The hot steam helps to evaporate the water that means that the water separates into little bits called water vapor and flies away. There are lots of things in the salt water that ought not to be in the salt like mud and stuff, so they put in something called alum and that makes the impurities fall to tiic DOttOIl OI tno DOXeS. sometimes when there is a lot of iron in the salt, 1t is red. and that kind of salt Is used by people who make vases and bowls out of clay, to give them a pretty, shiny look.
 ''The hot salty water is run into what is called grainers. and heated until all of the water evaporates, and just the salt is left
 Why is the salt we use on the table so much finer than this we put on the Ice to freeze the ice-cream ?" Jamie wanted to know.
 If the water evaporates very quick ly, the salt crystals are large. So when they want fine salt, they put something in the salt water to make 1t evaporate slowly-sometimes butter and sometimes tallow"
 "Oh."f
 Then the salt is taken out of the grainers with shovels and piled on

 the suburbs. for her father was very rich man and he had the things that only the rich who live in the country can have.
 Looking from the house, as far as the eye could see were rolling hills of green. The lawn was as smooth as the palm of your hand. and here and there were great beds of flowers and roses in profusion. Down in one corner was the sunken Italian garden that had cost thousands and thousands of dollars. There were horses and dogs and cows and chickens=all of the finest.
 But the things which little Martha liked best were the swans. Indeed she considered them her swans; for hadn't her father told her she could call them hers? Indeed he had. And didn't she feed them every morning {? And didn't they come sailing majes- tically up to her through the water and raise their long. graceful necks to catch the food she threw to them? ? Of course. they were her swans? To whom else could they belongl
 As soon as Nurse had bathed and dressed her each morning, little Martha would take the bag of crum- bly, dough Cook always had ready and go down to give the swans their break fast-before she had eaten her own, mind you!
 The minute she came in sight of the pond, the swans would set up a great chatter and splashing about; and they would follow her along as she traversed the walk until she reached the place from which she always fed them. Then, once there, she would open the bag and take out handful of the crumbly dough-

"NY boy who lives near river
 tkat Is fairly alive with percf
 and who goes fishing for them ~ can readily imagine with whal enthusiasm Bob Thompson and nls chum Al Stevens welcomed the op- portunlty to set out to fish all by themselves.
 They were cautioned about being careful in climbing from one rock to the other on the river bank. And their mothers fixed up a fine lunch for them-hard- boiled eggs. sand wiches. apples and a bag of their fa- vorite little chocolate cakes purchased at the corner grocery store.
 While perch are not game" fish and not really difficult to catch, they are sometimes very particular about what is on hook they are expected to nibble at. Some days, for example MT. Perch will swim along In the stream and turn up his nose at a nice. fat worm wriggling on a hook He may even find nothing tempting in a silver bright minnow. But MT. Perch may presently come across a piece of soft-shell crab floating tempt ingly just above the bottom and. In a jiffy. open his mouth and grab it. hook and all.
 A few hours later, not a perch in the stream will care for crab, per haps, but will seem to just dote on plain. common worms. And a while later, it may be that the only success ful bait is minnow. So. as you can well imagine. Bob and Al were anxious to go prepared for any emergency.
 Well the next morning bright and early, they started up stream and pres ently found large, flat rock over hanging the swift-rushing river. They slowed their lunch safely away in a crevice, jonted their rods and adjust ed their tackle.
 Hey. Bob" called out Al from his end of the rock. what bait are you going to use first?"
 "I'll try worm and you try a minnow, AL" Bob answered. And we'll see which of us gets a bte'
 But. alas, after twenty minutes of leaving their lines overheard and winding them up again to make cer- tain the bait was still on the hooks, neither boy had been rewarded with so much as a "nibblc." So they con cluded to try out the soft-crab bs. though they felt they must economize on them.
 But the change of bait brought no

 Jacques the head gardner, who hap pened to be working nearby heard the cries of the swans and then her cry and came running. In a jiffy he stepped into the water and lifted her out. Then, wrapping his coat around her, he carried her up to the great house where Nurse and Mamma took her in charge.

 You're as bad as teacher for ask = ing fellow questions, Jamie." Uncle Bob laughed. "Id have to know things if I lived with you very long. Well, the salt makes the ice melt and it takes certain amount of heat to melt certain amount of ice. So the melting ice takes the heat out of the

Setting the River
 On Fire

TN England many, many years ago
 before the millers had the won
 derful machinery they have now for sitting flour, each family was obliged to sift its own flour before 1t could bake bread A sieve was neces- sary, and the sieve they used was called "temse." This temse was so fixed at the top of barrel that it could be turned round and round.
 Now you all know that if you turn anything around very fast the thing will get very hot, and when the temse was used very hard the friction would sometimes cause it to catch fire.
 The smart, or the hard-working, boys who sifted flour could make it go so fast that people got into the way of pointing out a lazy boy and saying: "He will never set the temse on fire."
 By and by when machinery took the place of the boys who turned the sieves, there were still plenty of stu pid boys left in the world, and good folk kept on saying that they would never set the temse on fire.
 You might rightly say: "I thought the expression was Setting the river on fire.'"
 The river Thames is pronounced ex- actly like the word "tcmse," and so after many years, the persons who had never seen or heard of the old fashioned sieve. called tense. thought that "setting the temse on fire" meant setting the river Thames on fire.
 This expression was not confined to England. as it travelled far and wide. and very soon people living near other waters began to apply 1t to lazy boys by changing the word Thames" to the word "River.''
 Now when they want to tell that q boy Is stupid they say: He will never set the river on fire"

U. 5. OPENS FIGHT
 ON DRUGS MARCH 1
Stringent Provisions Act Passed Dec ember Becomes Effective-Heavy Penalties are Attached for
 Violations of Law.

Beginning March 1, the United Stat es government will take up the fight against the traffic in habit-forming drugs According to the provisions of an Act of Congress of December IT. on and after that date. all persons who produce, import, manufacture. compound, deal in, dispense, sell or give away opium or cocoa leaves, xheir salts or derivatives, will be compelled to register with the collector of inter- nal revenue and pay a special tax of $l. It will also be necessary, when ever an order is made for. any of the drugs, to use one of the blanks SUD- piled by the government at cost of $l per 100.
 All those who handle any of these drugs after March 1 will be required to make application for registration and pay the special tax on blanks to be supplied by the office of internal revenue collectors. These blanks are expected at the office of Internal Re venue Collector Jack Walker. in Lit tie Rock, in few days. Several hun dred letters already have been receiv- ed at the local office from people who desire to register, many of them from people addicted to drug habits. The latter applications will be refused.

REFUND SETTLEMENT
 APPROVED BY BOARD
State Will Be Reimbursed S65 1000 AL ready Spent in Litigation of all Cases. Iron Mountain & Cot
 ton Belt Cases Only.

The Boards of Directors of the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt railroads, it is announced have approved the settle ment with the shippers and passen- gers and with the state of Arkansas in the refund cases. Under this agree ment, according to Attorney General w. L. Moose. the two railroads will reimburse the state in the sum of $65.- 900, appropriated for the litigation of all the cases and already expended for that purpose.
 This settlement disposes of the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt cases only. Rock Island cases were compromis- ed, the railroad making the proposi- tion at the suggestion of the Arkansas Railroad Commission. The Frisco case is still in the courts and deci- sion from the United States Supreme Court is expected before long.
 The idea is largely held that the de- cision in the Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt cases finally settled the two cent rate question in Arkansas. It is said by attorneys that if the Frisco is able to show that the rate involves a loss to that road, the decision in the cases already disposed of would not affect the ruling in that case. It is said the United States Supreme Court did not decide that the rate compen- sated the roads in question, but that with the evidence before the court, based on the assessed valuation of the properties aud not on the actual value, it could not find the rate to confscate the property of the roads.
