IN THE OLD TRUNDLE BET
Downy Couch Occupied by the Chit.

Place of Repose.

There may be few of us left who
remember the trundle bed-but for
which it would have been impossible
to bring up the old-fashioned family of
good proportions. Houses were small
and families were large in those days,
and providing beds was problem. So
1t was solved by the trundle bed-a
low structure that rolled beneath the
regular" bed-and which was trun.

dren, says the Dayton News.
1t was a feather bed, OF course-big
and thick and soft. You sank into it's
ing out; no more danger than there
would be of raisin falling out Of a
cake. For the children fitted into the
feather bed for all the world like peas
in pod-a nestlike formation holding
the tiny form. Besides, If you did fall
out of trundle bed, you wouldn't have
far to fall; only an inch or two, for, be
1t remembered, the trundle bed was
built low, so 1t would roll under an
other bed.
But 1t was a glorious invention! A
billowy. downy couch fit for the angels
and angels slept in them. The tenn
perature didn't matter. In memory
they were always comfortable. Warm
in winter and cool in summer-they
must have been-sweet and clean and
fresh always. That's the way we re.
call them, anyway, so IL is the way
they must have been. The night had
no terrors after one was tucked away

Neither Meat Nor Drink.

AS an illustration OF the keen sense
OF humor possessed by the famous
Scottish Judge, Lord Mackenzie, Sir J..
II. A. Macdonald, late lord justice
clerk, tells the following story in his
"reminiscences, Life Jottings" On
one occasion when the jury had re-
tired to consider conviction or acquit-
tai, they rang their bell. producing the
usual stir OF anticipation in court. 1t
turned out, as reported by the macer,
that they rang to ask II they might be
allowed to have some water while they
were in deliberation.
According to law of Scotland, 1t is
forbidden. when a jury has been in
closed, that they should be suffered to
have any meat or drink" until they
have returned the verdict. Everybody
listened to hear what the judge would
say. Lord Mackenzie, looking up med
itatively, delivered himself in slow and
deliberate tones, heard throughout the
court. thus: well, ye Gamma call it
meat" land then more rapidly, and 1t
sairtainly is not drink; they can
have the water"

Boys In Business.

The American Boy says that "boya
are the backbone Of the wintergreen,
oil industry" because it is they who
pick the wintergreen leaves and take
them to the distilleries where the oil
is distilled. Over 80 per cent of all
the wintergreen oil produced in the
world comes from Monroe county,
Pennsylvania, in the heart of the Po-
como mountains, where the winter
green plant is plentiful. The plant is
only three inches high and it is almost
as backbreaking a process as picking
Strawberries is, to pick so pounds per
day, which is days work for nimble
boy. There are said to be about 500
of these "wintergreen boys" and they
work every day from April to No
vember, picking the leaves, making
them into bales and carrying them
by pushcarts to the stills" Thes,
boys could tell us much about rattle
snakes, but they have trained eyes
and ears so well that it is a rare thing
for one of them to be bitten.

BARNACLE GOOD HUMAN FOOD
Meat Is Asserted to Be Delicious, IL
People Gould Be Educated
to Its Use.

The eagle barnacle (balanus auuila)
whose shells measure as much as ten
inches high and from six to seven
inches wide at the base. and whose
meat sometimes weighs close to a
pound, is not only edible but delicious.
according to Prof. Trevor Kincaid of
the University of Washington. 1t is
the largest barnacle known, and inhab-
It's only Alaskan and Pacific coast wa.
ters
Tons OF these barnacles may be har-
vested easily in the San Juan islands.
Professor Kincaid says, and students
at the marine station at Friday Har.
Dor have tried them with most salts
factory results. They contend that
the barnacles are as good as the best
crab or shrimp. Living on smar
forms OF marine life, they are held
preferable to the crab, which is a scav.
enger. Their nutritive value is that OF
most food fishes.
Professor Kincaid doubts whether
market could easily be developed for
the barnacles, because the public
would have to be educated to their
use and because there is no great need
OF new foodstuffs from the sea.
They will live for week or ten
days after being taken from the water,
and could be shipped across the con-
tinent without difficulty.
The shells make pretty and useful
ornaments.
