And Now Then, Polly, Pat the Kettle On and Wen All Drink Tea"
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

A A w ford Ens," if you are like w am visions of erudite scholars, profound thinkers, learned sages, and the like flutter before your gaze and the last thing you could or would ever think = ] is that the worthy professors of this ancient and honorable seat of learning | would lay aside well thumbed volumes written in cryptic and unspeakable lam guages, and gather about the tea kettle in the afternoon for a simple cup of tea; and yet John Corbin makes concerning English university life in An American At oxford" the uninteresting state ment:

 Who knows but that this tea drinking custom of Oxford scholars may be the explanation for unusual activity enjoyed by those who take their degrees from this revered institution of learning or that the tea drinking Chinese nation owes its profoundity of wisdom to centu- rles of brain activity due to tea drink ing?
 Tea drinking is like the quality of mercy-twiee blessed-since it stimulates the brain, to hoth give out, and to re- ceive; the tongue under this spur speaks with spirit and the ear listens with alert attention.
 It has been suggested that some of the long winded old curates whose sermons have the effect of a narcotic on their auditors could employ their time valu- ably by iinbibing some of the tea that goes to the literary professors around Oxford.

 Edmund Wallier says of this delic- iously insiduous beverage:
 "Tea does our fancy aid,
 Repress those vapors which the head
 invade
 And keep that palace of the soul se-
 rene"
 And it was Sidney Smith writing of Lady Holland, or was it Lady Holland herself, who thanked High Heaven for tea, and asked;
 What on earth would the world do without tear" and stated finally
 T am slad l was not born before tea was heard of"

China Berries as Beads

"In response to I. H. in the Corner re- garding china berries, I will say that the best time to gather them is after heavy frost or during the winter months. The berries are then well matured and easily manipulated. They require boiling to soften their jackets, which will have to come off before dyeing or stringing them. The china berries will take any kind Of dye, stain or bronze powders. The best time to string the berries is while they are still soft from boiling. Penetrate the upper or bud end of the berry with a No. 27 copper wire or dry them. Then they may be strung as desired, using a gold, silver. or any kind of bead be- tween each berry. The china berry tree is one of the most beautiful that grows in the south In the spring it is loaded with clusters of flowers and when sum- mer comes the green foliage droops like an umbrella. I shall be glad to give the names of individuals who, when the sea- son opens, gather them, and who would, most likely, respond to your request

Sun Dogs and Coronas

Gan you tell me what weather proph- ets-especiaIly in the country-mean by sun dogs and if they are a sign Of rain? Are they the same appearance in the clouds that are known as coronas'? :? And are any of these trustworthy signs of coming foul weather?

After a season-long or short-of fine weather the appearance of a halo alias "sun dog" about the sun or moon foretells rain or snow. corona" is a smaller iIng-usually slightly tinged with pris- matic colors, often seen about sun or moon. The ancient saying, far off halo near at hand rain,' is opposed to mod ern science.

[ The organization is similar to the Boy Scouts. Badges are obtained through headquarters, when girls have passed | tests in cooking, sewing, first aid, house. keeping, nature study, laundering, music, swimming, gardening, painting, photogra- phy, craftsmanship and so on. The girls wear a khaki uniform, suitable for hikes and camping trips.
 On July 4 there were several thousand persons who witnessed the parade which
 afterwards gave drills by companies for
 prizes consisting of a silver cup and a framed engraving of the original emblem
 of the United States with the IS stars. The Girl Scouts, under the command of
 their captain Miss Edwina Ginder of
 Germantown, were not only fascinating with their smiling faces, fine carriage
 and natty khaki uniforms, but had the
 distinction of being the first of the Phil
 adelphia Girl Scouts organizations to
 hold full dress parade in public.
 The 65 girls represented the All Phil adelphia Girl Scouts, the Baptist Tenn
 ple Girl Scouts and the Recreation Girl Scouts, under Captain Ginder, and the Methodist Orphanage and the Philaqel- pha Methodist and the Philadelphia Presbyterian Girl Scouts, under Captain Fetters. Company I, of Captain Ginder command was awarded the silver cup for the best drill exhibition, and the sec
 ond prize went to the youngest company, whose uniform consisted of dainty middy

Corn on hillsides has sus- tained a big injury by having the earth washed away from the roots, and now with bright sunshine these roots will be burned and parched to a great extent. Corn in the lowlands was under water from one to 15 feet. It is too early yet to form conclusions as to output of fields so inundated Though it is safe to conclude that much of the corn will sour, and in such cases be total loss.
