A High Priced Frieasses.

Lord Alvanley, noted wit and high
liver in England hundred years or SO
ago, insisted on having an apple tart on
his dinner table every day throughout
the year. On one occasion he paid
caterer $1,000 for luncheon put up In
basket that sufficed small boating
party going up the Thames. Being one
of a dozen men dining together at a
London club where each was required
to produce his own dish, Alvanley's, as
the most expensive, won him the ad-
vantage Of being entertained free Of
cost. This benefit was gained at an
expense Of $40, that being the price
Of simple fricassee composed entirely
Of the "noix," or small pieces at each
side Of the back, taken from thirteen
kinds Of birds, among them being 100
snipe, 40 woodcocks and 20 pheasants-
in all about 800 birds.

Natural Pillows.

The pollack tree provides the natives
of British Honduras with splendid ma
terial for pillows and mattresses. 1t is
a common soft wood growth with a
large pear shaped fruit. which has a
hard shell, changing to almost black
when ripe, and containing short sta
pie brown fluff or silk fiber. The fluff
is about quarter Of an inch long,
more like the finest of camels hair
than fiber, and is used extensively for
filling pillows and mattresses. 1t will
not become hard, even after years of
service. The natives occasionally ex-
pose it to the sunlight for day or two
and put it back as good as ever.

FUTURE OF THE HORSE.
Can the Heavy Draft Animal Survive
tho Motor 1ruck2


the Motor Truck?
The heavy draft horse is doomed.
He will not vanish suddenly, but his
hour has struck. Motor vehicles al
ready are displacing him in cities. The
cheap farm tractor will do the same In
the country. In few decades the
great, magnificent brutes will be little
more than a memory. Their places
will be taken by bloodless machines,
that never whinny greetings to kind
master, never search ones pockets for
sugar-and never break their legs on
fey pavements or drag out friendless
old age under the whips Of stupid,
greedy drivers.
ID When one thinks Of these last con-
siderations the horseless age doesn't
seem so gloomy prophecy. But II
man is wise there will be no horseless
age.
n If man has any real wisdom-and
that belief, though often disappointed,
never dies--the horse will be promoted
10 the position Of humanity's chief pet
and plaything, but always with sub
stratum of usefulness which will keep
him from degenerating into mere toy.
The draft horse, the trotter-even the
general purpose anima"-may go, but
the saddle horse ought to stay and
thrive. Just as a medical prescription
he is well worth while, for the old Eng
hsh phrase that 1.-The outside Of horse
Is the best thing for the insides Of a
man" still holds true. and as an in
structor Of youth and means of real
contact with nature he has no rival but
the dog.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

sometimes amounting to one-fifth or
even more. This Is one Of the ways III
which the cold bath increases the re.

Judues' WIGS,

The wig is only worn by English bar
listers to give them stern, judicial
appearance, and no one can say that
It fails in this respect. The custom
was originated by French judge In
the seventeenth century when. happen
ing to don marquis wig one day, he
found it gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided to
get one for himself and wear it at all
times in court. This he did. and the
result was so satisfactory from legal
point Of view that not only judges. but
barristers also. took up the custom
throughout Europe. London Graphic.

MIGHTY MOUNT RAINIER.

Still Towers Up 14,40s Feet.
Mount Rainier, In Washington, COW
ers 100 square miles Of territory and
rises 14,40S feet into the air. In shape
It Is not a simple cone tapering to
slender, pointed summit like Fujiyama,
The great volcano Of Japan. 1t Is rath-
Rr broadly truncated mass resembling
al enormous tree stump with spread
ing base and irregularly broken top.
Its life history has been varied one.
Like all volcanoes, Rainier has built up
its cone with the materials elected by
ITS own eruptions-with clnders and
steam shredded particles and Jumps OF
lava and with occasional flows Of liquid
lava that have solidified into layers Of
hard basaltic rock. At one time 1t at
tanned an altitude of not less than 49,
600 feet, II one may Judge by the steep
inclination of the lava and cinder layers
visible in its TANKS. Then followed a
great explosion that destroyed the top
part Of the mountain and reduced Its
height by some 1000 feet. The volcano
was left beheaded, with capacious
hollow crater surrounded by a jagged
rim.
Later on this great cavity, which
measured nearly three miles across
from south to north, was filed by two
small clnder cones. Successive feeble
eruptions added to their height until at
last they formed together low round
ed dome-the eminence that now con-
stitutes the mountains summit. The
higher portions Of the old crater rim
rise to elevations within few hundred
feet of the summit and, especially
when viewed from below, stand out
boldly as separate peaks that mask and
seem to overshadow the central dome.

The NUMBER NINE.
Easy to Multiply by II it You Will Re-
member This Rule.

Easy to Multiply by It If You Will Re-
member This Rule.
Examine any one Of the statements
of equality in the multiplication table
Of nine, up to and including nine times
ten. Select, for example, 9x7@63; or
0x@18.
Observe that in each case the first
digit in the product Is one less than
the number by which nine is multi
piled, and the second digit in the prod
uct Is such that when added to the
first digit, the sum of the two is nine.
You may make practical use Of this
popularity Of nine and its multiples by
applying it in the following way:
If nine is to be multiplied by eight,
for example, think at once Of seven
(Which is one less than eight, the null
tiplier); then think Of two, which must
be added to seven to make nine. and
you have seventy two, the product of
nine and eight.
Or, If nine is to be multiplied by five
think Of four, which Is one less than
Eve; then think Of five, which must
be added to four to make nine, and
you have forty-five, the product of nine
and five.
BY using this method the mines,
usually among the hardest Of the Ia
bles to fix in the memory, may, in
short time, be fairly classed with the
flves and tens and elevens. which are
said to remember themselves. =

FUSION


Huron Huronite: 1t is the opinion
of ALT Burkholder, of Sioux Falls,
correspondent for metropolitan news
papers, that another fusion ticket will
be required to sustain the right of the
people to rule through their ballots.
He says it took a fusion tick ct to
place the initiative and referendum

fusion ticket seems to be necessary to
to enable the people TO uphold that
amendment.
The progressive movement which
maintained the honest intentions of
the voters has degenerated into a par
tisan machine more rotten than any
machine with which the state has been
corrupted. The progressive move
mept came out of the temporary SUI
premacy Of a fusion movement.

There are now SO many retired

of as a class. In many villages and
small towns they CONTROL the balance
of political power, command the
form and quality of public improve

view. Many of the retired farmers
are rich. But probably the most of
them fall far short of that lot. They
have farms or other properties which
bring them a few hundred dollars a

they live happily upon sums that the
