crude way in the labor of the crafts
men, and if honesty and quality of
work are considered, our hats must
be oft to those men of old.
That Labor day in Europe today is
the LIST day of May is probably the
outcome Of this day having been cele-
brated by MANY OF the old craftsmen
before the age of invention. Among
other merrymakers, the chimney
sweeps spent a frolicsome Mayday
some of their old customs. In former
times London's 'chalk-faced chimney
sweeps carried shovels and brushes
as they paraded the streets dressed in
cheap finery and decked with strips
of gilt and colored paper. TO them
no Mayday was complete without a
May dance.
The beribboned mllkmaids who
danced on the same day also aspired
to have music at their jollitication, and
often marched behind COW with gilt
horns in procession. On that day
these rural workers borrowed silver
cups and tankardS, which they hung
around their milk-pails, DECORATED
with ribbons and flowers. Such at
tractive paraphernalia haped them in
collecting coins from their customers,
before whom they danced.
Partly to secure a holiday and part
Iy to increase their fumes, the Friendly
Society of Carriers also celebrated the
LIST of May with Il procession. In coun-
try places the carriers, with their wag-
OnS and horses gay with ribbons,
stopped at the numerous public houses
and at homes. At every stop those
within were tSlder obligation to give
ribbon to help IN the decoration OF the
carts.

self by means of spores.
Spores may be compared with the
seed of an ordinary plant. These
spores present the chief difficulty in
canning the products of the orchard
and garden.
All forms of bacteria are killed by
complete sterilization. This is moth
ing more than enclosing the products
to be sterilized in jars or cans that
can be sealed alright, and submit
for Il time long enough, to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw ma
terial to spoil.
Sterilization is readily accom-
plished by the use Of boiling water,
and there are three different ways in
which this can be done. While the
parent bacteria can be killed at the
temperature of boiling water, their
spores retain their vitality for long
time even at that temperature.

home canning outfits usually make
use of the ''Open-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling wa
ter and kept at that temperature for
q time sufficient to destroy bacteria
and spores.
The third process, known as frac-
tional sterilization, is that of keeping
cans or jars in boiling water for spe-
Gifted time upon each of two or three
consecutive days.
The process Of boiling upon consecu-
tive days is the safest method, and is
much to be preferred in home canning.
The first days boiling kills practically
all the bacteria, but does not kill all
all of the spores.
AS soon as the jars or cans cool,
these spores develop, and a new lot
of bacteria begin their destructive
work on the contents.
The second days boiling kills. this
new lot Of bacteria before they have
had time to produce spores.
Boiling the third day is not always
necessary, but it is advisable in order
to be sure that sterilization Is COM
plete.

Rooster Kills Snake.

]. s. Sullivan, Delaware county
farmer known for his veracity,
vouches for the truth of a story con-
corning the defeat of six-foot black
snake by game rooster in his hem
house few mornings ago. According
to Sullivan, the snake crawled into
the chicken shed and before it could be
interfered with, gabbed one of fam
lily of thirteen chicks mothered by IA
hen. The hen flew at the snake in an
effort to rescue the unfortunate mem
Der of her brood, but retired when the
gallant game cock, feathers ruff1ed and
comb erect, rushed in and attacked the
reptile boldly with his spurs. The bait
tie ragged for fifteen minutes, according
to Sullivan. and at the end the black
snake lay dead with two neat spur
punctures through his brain. Then the
little game rooster strutted around the
barn lot cockily and since has refused
to have anything to do with other MEM
bers of the Sullivan flock.

And what is so kind az the stern command,
Challenging brain and heart and hand2

And what is so glad as the surge of it,
Andwhatis SO strong as the summons deep,
Rousing the torpid soul from sleep2
Thank God for the pace OF il,
For the terrible, keen. swift race Of il,
Fiery steeds in full control
Nostris aquiver to greet the goal.

Guiding the purposes, tanning the mind,
Holding the runaway wishes back,
Reigning the will to one steady track,
Speeding the energies faster, faster
Triumphing over disaster.

And what is SO great as the gain of it?
And what is so kind as the cruel goad.
Forcing US on through the rugged road9

Thank God for the swing of it,
For the clamoring, hammering. ring of it,
Passion of labor daily hurled
On the mighty anvils of the world.

Work, the Titan; Work, the friend,
Shaking the earth to a glorious end,
Draining the swamps and blasting the hills,

Rending continent apart,
| To answer the dream of the Master heart,
Thank God for world where none may
shirk-
Thank God for the splendor of work.
