Oriuin of Road Rules.

The origin of the rule for pedestrians
to keep to the right dates back to a
period when such things as roads were
unknown. Before the road as we know
it existed progress from place to place
was accomplished by means of tracks
or paths, used in common by mounted
and foot wayfarers. AS in early days
every traveller carried his life in his
hands and saw in every approaching
stranger a potential enemy. so the I'M
armed man either retreated from the
path or was beaten from it by an adj
vancing stranger, if the latter were
armed. When two armed men met.
with shield on left arm and sword in
right hand, they of necessity passed
each other on the right, so as to bring
shield to shield. thus completely shell
tered, but with the sword arm ready
to strike if needed.-London Globe.

Illusions.

An Illusion is something we believe
in so much that we prefer it to reality
Happiness is the ability to create and
maintain ones Illusions on a paying
basis.
Every illusion should be properly
supported Some people are so mean
that when an illusion rings their bell
and asks for board and lodging they
slam the door in it's face.
1t is better to maintain one or two
illusions in good style, giving them
constant care and nourshment. than
it is to have 50 many that you have to
fit too often from one to another.
Without Illusions we should lay SO
much stress On reality that life would
not be worth living. Reality itself is
the biggest illusion of ALL but the most
because it is the only one
that pays no return on the investment
Life without illusions is like a bird
without wings.-Life.

the fame almost fickers out. But if
there be the least spark of life left it

cally begin with the church. Such is

Movies Taken For Ghosts.

According to missionary. the first
display of moving pictures in the prov

Of alarming proportions.
When the bodiless, yet vigorous
shadows began to move silently across
the screen in the visible but imma-

arose. soon increasing to shouts and
uproar, that foreign devils had pos
sessed the locality and were in league
with the spirits of the dead. Actual
destruction and perhaps bloodshed was
prevented only by the dubbed guns of
the native soldiery. Later, when the
pictures were explained. the natives
became ardent fans. The first feature

A devil ship is ship that has been

When Connecticut Owned CHICAGO.


Connecticut once claimed the terri
tory Chicago now occupies. This was
Mt the close of the Revolutionary war,
when what is now Chicago was only a
ruined fort, built long before, and call
ed Che-caw-gou. In 1888 Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia
claimed to own the territory west of
them as far as the Mississippi river,
although the territories of Massachu-
setts and Connecticut were interrupted
by parts of New York and Pennsyl-
vania. The line between Massachu-
sets and Connecticut came a little
north of what is now Chicago. 1t was
Maryland that reduced these huge do
mains. Having no western territory

cles of confederation unless the other

territories to the confederation itself,

rise and fall of mining town devel-

the engineers of the quality and guam
tity of coal to be reached that double
tunnel, with a side air passage, was
driven the whole length, Expensive
tipples, tramways and a washer were
constructed and a battery of 240 coke
ovens built to take care of the washed
slack coal product from the mine.
However. the coal seams proved to be
so broken and irregular that opera
tons were entirely too expensive and
were abandoned. AS q consequence
the town of Hosmer, which had pop
ulation of about 1000 is now a desert
ed village.

THE ORCHARD HELPS OUT

the Warfield needs fertilization from
some other variety. For that reason
the Dunlap is perhaps little more IA
vored, even though the Warfield has q
slight advantage as canning variety
The De Rochers make speciality of
grape juice, and they use tons apd tons
of Concord grapes to make juice to
supply their trade. Their finished prod
uct is as clear as crystal and of most
delicious quality. They have a special
way of making their grape juice and
their jellies. They do not make the
juice or jelly entirely at canning time,
but just extract the juice from the
fruit, heat and seal it in jugs or jars,
with no sugar or anything else added.
When it comes to the time of shipment
they siphon the juice out and then
add the sugar, heat and bottle for GUS
toners. This method has many ad-
vantageS, and Mrs. De Rocher consid-
ers it one of the greatest helps to sue
cessful work. 1t saves considerable
labor in rush times when they receive
the fruit, and also, by siphoning. just
the clear juice is drawn off and all of
the settings are left in the jug. This
insures a very clear product of grape
juice and jelies.
All of the canning products of this
farm are put up in glass. The pre-
serves, marmalades and canned goods
are put up in pints and seven ounce
sealed jars. Strawberry, plum and
peach preserves are also put up in four
ounce jars, commonly called individ-
uals, and are put up for the dining
car trade. When customers are serv-
ed with either of these products in the
dining car they get them in the origi-
nal package, which is not opened I'M
til 1t gets to the table The jellies are
put up in eight ounce screw top jars,
and the grape Juice is put up in pint
and quart bottles with the metal top
cork.
Their trade for these canned prod
ucts consists of railroad dining cars,
fashionable clubs and restaurants of
Chicago and numerous wealthy fam
lies in Chicago and elsewhere. Some
of these families have standing year
ly orders. All of the products are sold
before they are made. Mr. De Rocher
goes to the regular customers in the
spring and takes their orders for the
season. After the canning business
opens they take no orders, and the can
ming is done jsst to fill the orders they
have on hand. Shipping is attended to
as customers require the goods, so that
some of the product is going forward
all winter.
The annual profits at this farm are
up in the thousands of dollars, for the |
orchard is now bearing, and there is a |
large output of apples, pears and plums
to be added to the berries and garden /
truck. BY the system in force for ham |
ding fruit there is little waste. Stock |
that is not marketed when picked is |
saved by preserving and canning meth
DDS. 1t is seldom that a farm family |
has as large an income as the De Ro-
cheers enjoy, and if they cared to go
more extensively into gardening they
could double the earnings of their lit
tie place.

Freaks of L.anuuaoe.

A peculiar kind of Numbering known
as folk etymology'' is responsible for
some of the queereSt freaks Of Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word car
ryall'' for kind of vehicle is not a
compound of carry and ALI" but a
slight distortion of the French "carri-
OLE diIninutive car. The change
was made in obedience to the univer-
sal tendency to assimilate the unknown
to the known, to make words mean
something by asSociating them with
Others which they resemble in sound.
Often there is no chronological relation
between the words associated. as when
sparrowgrass is made out of asparagus.
This particular corruption was once in
such good colloquial use that Walker.
the photographer. wrote. sparrow
grass is so general that asparagus has
an air of stiffness and pedantry."

Making The Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWsFlELD


Michigan family named De Roch-
er, occupying fifty acres at Big Bear
how to manage a small farm for profit.
Mr.. and Mrs. De Rocher at first de-
pended on bush fruits and vegetables
for their living while bringing on an
orchard Of apples, pears and plums
Their main income now is from the
larger fruits, which are sold mostly to
private customers.
They keep little live stock or poultry
because their taste runs to growing
and handling fruits. Much of their
product is canned, and by this means
they are able to obtain retail prices.
The most unique feature of their farm
ing enterprise is the business which
has been built up in fancy canned
fruit. This is where Mrs. De Rocher
yields the power. She has studied
her fruits and her market and carries
the information in her mind ready to
use at all times. A particular phase
of her work has been to determine
which varieties of fruit give best re-
suits in supplying family trade.
She has decided that no other kind of
strawberry will hold it's color so we'll
or make such excellent preserves as
the Warfield and the Senator Dunlap.
These are similar varieties, but the
Dunlap has a perfect blossom, while
