An Old Gun.

Emanuel Nestlerode of Virgin
ia was in town one day this week
having his gun fixed up to kill
hawks, and by the way the gun
was quite a curiosity. It is an
old cap and ball rifle and was
purchased by Mr.. Nestlerode 62
years ago and was 80 years old
at that time, making it now 142
years old. The barrel is about
four feet long. The stock, which
is inlaid with silver ornaments,
runs the full length Of the bar
rel. It must have been . very
handsome and expenGve gun
when new and looks as though it
would shoot some yet.

To avoid damage from the Hessian
fly all volunteer wheat must be de-
stroyed. according to Leonard Hase-
man, OF the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture. It caused much more OF the
trouble last year than most people re-
alize and threatens to do 80 again.
The next wheat croD must be saved
from the fly before the seed goes in
to the ground, for It IL impossible to

Senior Notes.
The history teacher has decid-
ed to try a new plan and study
the lesson with us in class for
awhile. thus making the lessons
much more interesting when we
get to class. OF course we will
need to read them ever afterwards
and be prepared for examinations
but that will not be difficult for a

Miss Ficklin caused the Solid
Geometry class some embarras-
ment the other day by asking us
to prove some plane geometry ex-

pected to know how, as we pass

WIVES IN ANCIENT ATHENS
Joys and Sorrows Differed Little From
Those With Which Modern Woman
Is Familiar.

Sophocles, the ancient Greek dra-
matist. described the young girl of his
day rejoicing in the f1owery meads of
her youth, till the maiden became wife
and mother and learned to know the
painful watches of the night, spent in
anxiety for husband and children.
1t would have been well for her il
such anxiety, the common lot of all,
had been the sole cause of trouble to
the Athenian wife,
1t seems that ill-assorted unions
were rather frequent at Athens, and
if her home was unhappy, what had
she to fall back on?
A man, as Medea says. whose home
is unpleasing to him, can go abroad
and enjoy the company of his friends,
but we must look for happiness to
one alone"
Mischief was the result. The bride
groom was not extremely young; thir-
ty was thought to be a suitable age for
man to marry at; but the bride was
sometimes a mere child.

The European war began q year ago
today, when the Austrians bombarded
Belgrade, the Serbian capital, less than
IL hours after q formal declaration OF
war had resulted from Serbia s refusal
to accede to an ultimatum that would
have practically extinguished her ma
tional independence. After II months
of war that has cost more than a
million of lives and billions of treas
ure, peace seems no nearer than it was
q year ago. Today Teuton and Russian
are fighting fercely around Warsaw;
the French and English are striving
to hold their positions along the
French and Belgian borders; the Ital-
ians are slowly advancing their lines
over the south Austrian frontier, and
the Turks and the Anglo French
invaders are contesting foot by foot
the rocky Gallipoi peninsula The mill
tary situation, after a year of slaugh-
ter, gives no clear promise of victory
to either side.

In Danville, Pa, two men, in dig

crusted with rust, and having every
appearance of having lain there for

Fish Gas.

At Fray-Bentos, in the Argentine, is
the largest kitchen in the world. Here
beef extract is made-40 pounds Of
beef give one pound of extract. And
here, up to 1900, all the waste-all the
entrails and fat and so forth-got
thrown into the River Plata.
The waste of 1000 bullocks thrown
daily into the Plata brought the fish
up from the sea to FrayBentos in un-
unbelievable thousands. Boats could
hardly advance for the silver waves
of fish These fish could be caught
with shovels, with scoops, with the
hand.
The people of Fray-Bentos, in the
unparalleled abundance Of the Argen-
tine, varied their free beef with free
fish, and in addition ground up daily
fish enough to light the entire district
with fish gas, very clear illuminant
made from fish OIL
But today they utilize at Fray-Bentos
every part of the bullock but the bel
low. Consequently the fish millions
of the past have deserted the river,
and fish gas, that romantic illuminant,
has been supplanted by vulgar cleo
tricity.

fore he gets another, by telling her to

Mrs. McHonney' s letter, in part, is
as follows:
''Do you advocate raising children
for county charges, the poor house, or
what? l am mother of seven chill
dren and feel that I have a right to
ask. Perhaps you have never had the
experience of raising seven children on
$50 a month and then suddenly losing
the position and have your house
threatened with foreclosure. -
The Colonel replied: ''We are. any
of us, liable to run into hard luck, but
that does not by any manner of means
lessen our duties to ourselves and to
society. I am sorry for Mrs Mellon

MANY KINDS OF ARTlCHOKE
Plant Really Is a Variety of Thistle,
but Man Has Greatly Improved
Its Edible Qualities.

The artichoke, which originally
came from Barbary, is not botanical
species, but variety of the thistle,
which grows spontaneously all along
the African coast Of the Mediterra-
mean from Morocco to Palestine. 1t is
now cultivated extensively in France,
where those which come from Brit
tany and Algeria are the species most
highly esteemed. Even of these there
are many varieties. such as the Ca
mus artichoke of Brittany, the
bronzed artichoke of Roscoff. the big
green artichoke of Laon, and the vio-
let artichoke of Provence. There are
also varieties which come from Italy,
Spain. India and Canada, to say moth
ing of the Jerusalem artichoke, IA
nous for the enormous size of it's
leaves. In the south of France, when
the crop is abundant, the heads are
carefully picked Of all their leaves, and
the hearts dried in the sun, put up
in sacks. and stored away for winter
use. These hearts, when boiled in
water. or in a rich beef broth, become
soft and recover their form, color ano
flavor They are then taken from the
pot, the water and broth strained
away, the center is filled with forced
meat, and they are eaten either fried or
baked

STRICTLY MAN OF HIS WORD
Sisworth squeezer Might BE "Near."
but No One Could Accuse Him
of Untruth.

1t may have been true that Sisworth
Squeezer was so mean that he robbed

Filipino MYTHS and Legends.

The oldest, as well as the most fan
ciful tales of the early people OF the
Philippine islands, are those of the
primitive raconteurs of the mountains
of northern Luzon. The Igorots, the
Ifugaos, the Kalingas, and the others
all have curious myths and legends of
the origin of the world and of man.
kind on the earth. some that in a way
even follow the Bible story Of Noah
and the ark. Whether these stories
really originated in the islands or have
come across the waters from China
and Japan or other lands in older
days, one cannot know, but they have
a very important influence upon these
peoples today, not only in their reli-
gious beliefs, but in their everyday
customs and habits.-Pennsylvania

Industrious Turkish Women.

The Turkish women are to be count
ed among the most industrious women
of the earth. They certainly do a
vast amount of work. They make car
pets, screens for doors, workbags,
horse clothing and blankets. A Turk
ish girl makes all the kibitka or tent
domestic carpets and other household
requisites before she is married. If
she gets married without completing
this task it is expected that she will
by her own labor refund the money
which her parents have given her as
her dowry This dowry usually con-
sists of 100 sheep and a certain
amount of money, which a bridegroom
either pays down in a lump sum TO
the parents of the bride to collect his
friends for a succession of horse races
and other sports. An important part
is to decorate camel with the hand
soonest trappings, which are sent to
the brides tent. On this she goes
forth to receive congratulations of her
relatives and friends. 1t is on this
she is carried away by the female rela-
tives of the bridegroom. She and her
attendants feign to resist the act by
throwing raw oats at the other
women.

A sad chapter is now being written
in the Danbury hatters' strike. Fore
closure is going into effect to satisfy
a Judgment for the manufacturers,
against whom the worllmen raised a
boycott, and many families who had
saved enough to buy their own homes
are now losing them to compensate
their former employers, who suffered
heavy financial losses because of an IL
legal use of a strike weapon. 1t is true
that wrong should be punished, but
it seems as if the great labor organi-
cations of national scope who aided,
and probably urged on, the Danbury
strike, should not leave the penalty for
the mistake to be borne alone by men
and women who in many eases merely
followed their leaders because they
placed implicit confidence in their wis
dom.
