A tialf.century.0ld Program.

In the possession of Mrs. George l.
Burnham Of South Paris is the program
given below. 1t is self.explanstory, ex.
cept that It does not state under whose
auspices this free entertainment was
given. Many OF the names are familiar
to those OF the older generation, and .
considerable portion Of them to those Of
the younger generation.
Two features of the program which at.
tract general attention are Its inordipate
length, which would tire out the average
modern audience, and the fact that 1t
began at o O'Clock, which is two hours
earlier than the usual time 10 this age.
The program is printed In large type,
on q sheet about 7 1910 inches, of yellow
poster paper, now pretty ragged but read
able. A few obvious typographical or.
rors have been corrected In reproducing
1t below, and doubtless there are others.

ACCORDING TO RANCH CODE
Cowboy Did the Only Thing He Felt
There Was to Do Under the
Circumstances.

A story certainly untrue, but one
beautifully plausible, was told by the
Abilene (Kan.) Reflector. It concerns
a man wholly definition, as the math-
ematicians say-had spent all his life
on remote cattle ranch and was ut
terly inexperienced in any tenderer or
gentler relations than those which ex-
list between men like himself and be-
tween them and their bovine charges.
This untutored yet thoroughly we'll
intentioned person, according to the
tale as told, at last went to border
town and there, as might have been
expected, he fell promptly and violent
ly in love with the first woman with
whom he became acquainted. who hap
pened to be the pretty waitress who
served him at the table. His wooing
was equally vigorous and successful.
In few days the twain were married
and together they started back for the
ranch on horseback.
A week later the cowboy returned
to the town alone and of deeply sor-
rOwful mien. To the natural and i'm
mediate inquiries that were made as
to the whereabouts Of his bride he re-
piled, with tears starting to his eyes
and running down his lean, bronzed
cheeks: ''She broke her leg two days
out and had to shoot her. And tell
you, boys" he added, 81 hated to do it
she was such a good woman!"

Shapes of Heads.

In the New Work Medical Record
DR.. David l. Macht of Baltimore, not
ing various malformations of the head
that are met with by the modern clint
clan, speaks of three that are enumer-
ated in the Talmud which disqualified
one from ministering as priest. These
are named as the "kilon," the "lafton"
and the "maqbon." The condition Of
kilon is described as that of person
having peculiarly shaped head, point
ed at the top and broad at the bottom.
The lafton was head shaped exactly
the opposite of the kilon. To use the
expression Of the Talmud, he had q
head like '1efes," that is a pumpkin
Cor gourd). The expression "maqbon"
was derived from the word hammer,
and the Talmud described this ham,
merhead as one with projecting fore
head and occiput. Every student Of
the Bible is aware of the fact that the
Hebrew priest was required to be
without bodily defect or blemish" in
order to be eligible to service in the
temple, a provision set forth in the
twenty-first chapter Of Leviticus.

Modern Parenthood,

Being parent used to be one of the
most simple, natural and inevitable de-
velopments in the world. People used
to grow up, marry and raise families
they still do back in the country
and society was satisfied If parents
could clothe, feed and exercise a gen.
eral supervision over their offspring.
But nowadays one has no business to
be married and have children unless,
sleeping and waking, one is conscious
of the responsibility. Competent mod
ern parents must supervise the feed
ing, housing and playing Of their chill
dren on terms that, if applied gener-
alton ago, would have brought the re-
production Of the human race to q
dead standstill. And now, responsive
to the same forces, competent modern
parents must supervise schooling. The
schoolmaster is no longer to pursue
his own sweet way. Parents are going
to inspect him, as they inspect every
other factor in the child's life. Mod
ern parenthood has thus become an
exacting full-time vocation-that is,
persons who enter the profession have
no time for other occupations, except
the suffrage, and they cut themselves
off from all other forms of remunera-
tive and enjoyable activity.-Abraham
Flexner in the Atlantic.

Hoods Famous Hoax,

The amusing hoax at Abergavenny
reminds correspondent Of one or two
historic leg-pullings in the same line
One was the great Berners street hoax
engineered by Theodore Hook, and
which was so successful that it's orig
inator had to clear out of the country
for while.
He sent out from q certain address
thousands of orders, invitations, etc.,
all to eventuate at the same place
and hour. The result was that at the
time in question the street and the
thoroughfares leading to it were
choked with traffic, there was spe-
cies Of riot, and after the "fun" had
cleared away the debris made the place
look like battlefield.
An earlier hoax was also perpe-
trated in London, viz, that on GER
tain night at house of entertain
ment an Italian conjurer-Signor Cap
itello Jumpedo-would perform GER
tain miraculous feats, winding up by
climbing into quart bottle. A huge
crowd assembled, and when they found
they had been "had" they set to work
wrecking the place.-Cardiff Western
Mail.

STRIVE TO BE IN HARMONY
No One Has a Right to Communicate
His "Out-of-Sorts" Feeling to
Those About Him.

Harmony is what is needed in this
world. When any of my machines are
out of harmony, they put me out of
harmony; am out Of harmony with
those with whom come in contact,
and they consequently put others out
of harmony, and that is the way it
spreads. When one is out of harmony
with ones self, he is out of harmony
with God"
These are the statements of one of
the greatest peacemakers Of the day.
His ideas are well founded.
When you arise in the morning and
are out Of harmony with yourself, you
are bound to communicate the effect
to all the members of your family.
BY so doing you are changing what
might have been bright day to one
Of gloom to those for whom you should
strive to make happiness.
A wife irritated by her husband is
likely to be cross to the children, and
then they, go out and fight with their
companions.
Don't let yourself be "out of Sorts"
It Is bad for you; it is bad for your
family; it is bad for your neighbors.

OBTAINING sWEET-BIRcH OIL
Industry Has Become Quite Matter
Of Importance In Some Sections
Of the South.

Sweet.birch oil has been made In
this country for many years and is
obtained from the wood and bark Of
the black birch. The oil is product
Of steam distillation plants, where, in
addition to the twigs, bark and young
sprouts Of the birch, the entire tree
Is sometimes used. More picturesque
are the methods employed by the
southern mountaineer. A rough camp
and crude distillery are erected near
supply of birch. According to per-
sons who have seen both kinds, the
'still" is not unlike the type some
times employed in the same locality
for making BLOCKADE" whisky. The
camp Is anything which will protect
the workmen from the weather. The
bark Is peeled from the tree and the
rough outer portion is scraped off. 1t
is then broken to cook it. A fire is
started and the resulting steam is led
through a pipe and finally condensed.
The heavy oil gathers in receptacle,
while the water runs off. Three or
four men compose the usual crew.
One Of these spends all of his time at
the still, while the others gather and
prepare the bark. About twenty-five
bushels Of bark are used for every run
and 1t is said that this amount yields
approximately four pounds of oil.
Three or four runs a week can be
made. The method has been in use
for many years, and most of the &C.
cessible birch in the valleys has been
cut. Each year the oil makers have to
go farther back in the mountains.
Very often the stills are located in
isolated places which can be reached
only on foot, and all of the material
for the plants and camp are carried
In on the backs Of the mountaineers.

RICHES FOUND IN ODD WAYS
Experiences Of Gold Seekers Make
Pages Of Romance Read Like
Very Ordinary Matter.

If every man. who washed his own
pants discovered gold mine there
would be slump in washerwomen.
But that is how the largest nugget
ever found in California was turned
out.
1t was a young Indian who was
washing his clothes in a certain
stream when this big lump of fortune
came his way. Who will say now that
virtue-cleanliness, for choice-does
not bring its own reward?
The California EldoradO, to which
all the world rushed with one accord,
was first spotted by a man who went
out early one morning to dig onions
with a sheath knife, and found gold
adhering to the blade.
Talking of sheath Knives, they were
the favorite means of flicking out gold
in the old Bendigo days. The dig
gers used these knives for many
things, and wore them in their belts.
They used to dig in their Claims"
flicking out bits of gold with the
point.
Imagine taking 80 pounds weight of
gold out of hole in the earth before
Yet such an experience
was common enough.
And gold mine in New Zealand
was discovered by a man who picked
up a stone to throw at wood pigeon!

Marshes in Mesopotamia.

The marshes Of Mesopotamla were
famous in the time of Alexander the
Great. One of the last acts of his life,
within a few weeks Of his death, was a
voyage down the Euphrates to the
great dixie Of Pallakopea, about 80
miles below Babylon. This sluice had
been constructed by the ancient AS
syrian kings to let off the water of
the river when it became excessive,
into the marshes. It was reported not
to be working we'll, and Alexander pro-
posed to construct another sluice low
er down. He sailed on into the
marshes steering his vessel himself,
with his diadem on his head, to ex-
plore them and the tombs of the kings,
and so extensive were the lakes and
swamps that AleXander's fleet lost its
way among them.
