spies In Revolutionary Days.

A curious and unfamiliar page In
American history shows that the treat
ment of the spy in Revolutionary days
was painfully prompt and rigorous.
Every American schoolboy knows the
fate of Major Andre. but few know
of any others, with perhaps the ex-
ception of Nathan Hale, executed by
the British as a spy. In the second
year of our Revolutionary war Gener
al Israel Putnam caught man lurking
about his post at Peekskill. on the
Hudson. A flag of truce came from
Sir Henry Clinton. claiming the pris
oner as Lieutenant Palmer Of the Brit
ish service. The answer Of the stout
old general was brief and to the point

Noise and Hearing.

There are two distinct meanings to
the word "sound"-one the sensation
produced in the brain, the other the
external vibration which produces the
sensation. The physical cause may ex-
ist where there is no ear; the sensation
cannot exist unless there is an ear to
hear 1t. Suppose two men-one totally
deaf, the other with a normal sense of
hearing-are in the same closed room
In which a third man beats upon a
piece of iron with a hammer. Is there
no physical vibration because the deaf
man cannot hear it? The sensation
may be ear splitting to the one and to-
tally nonexistent to the other. The
same vibrations beat through the air.
The same sound exists in the room, but
the sensation exists for only one of the
men.-Philadelphia Press.

TRAINING THE TASTE.
The Importance of Teaching Children
The Sense of Colors.

ne 0SHSe OF SOlOTSs
Some persons are totally lacking in
color sense-taSte in colors. to put it
differently. In other respects they are
quite normal persons and often, Of
course, get far ahead Of those with
the keen color taste. Other persons
lack appreciation. taste. in other re-
spects. Usually appreciation or taste
can be trained. although sometimes
color or music appreciation is utterly
lacking.
The time to begin to train is with
very young children. The place is the
home. If child is brought up in
tasteful home it will unconsciously
grow up with a cultivated taste. In
addition, of course. it is well to note
the child's individuality. If it seems
dull to music, painting. color, form,
help develop its taste along these par
dcular lines.
A house, to be the ideal environ
ment for a growing child, should be
beautiful. of course. but it should have
the beauty of simplicity and find the
beauty in its surroundings without de-
pending on elaborate furnishings.
Perhaps the best way to train a
child's taste. if the child seems rather
hopelessly deficient. is to let.him work
things according to his own ideas for
a little while. If a little girl likes
gaudy colors. let her have a frock of
a gaudy color. which she herself choos-
es. She will, the chances are, soon tire
Of It. If the small boy likes impossible
ornaments and hangings in his room.
let him have them. Not only will he
himself dislike them soon enough, but
his friends will doubtless make fun Of
them, and so they will become intol-
cradle to him.
Once there was a boy of nine or ten
years who chose for the wall paper
Of his room a dainty design with pink
background upon which there were
medallions showing little French maids
In all their tinery. His mother remon-
strated with him. telling him his choice
was not boyiSh. that it was babyish,
a nursery paper. or at best one for a
very little girl. But he wanted that
paper, and he got it. 1t had not been
on his wall very long before he re-
allied his mistake. OF course he had
to put up with it for months, but its
presence there taught him a lesson in
interior decorating he never forgot

BAR-LE-DUC CURRANTS.
Two Picked Recipes For a Delicious
Winter Treat

TWO PICKED recipes TOR DELICIOUS
Winter Treat.
Take selected currantS of large size,
one by one, and with tiny embroidery
scissors carefully cut the skin on one
side, making a slit One-fourth an inch
or less in length. Through this with
q sharp needle remove the seeds, one
at q time, to preserve the shape Of the
currant. Take the weight of the cur
rants I'm strained honey and when hot
add the currantS. Let simmer two or
three minutes. then seal as jelly. If
the juice of the currants liquify the
honey too much carefully skim out the
currants and reduce the strip at a
gentle simmer to the desired con-
sistency, then replace the currants and
store as above.
The following recipe is less work,
but gives a nice preserve: Get the
largest size currants, red or white, and
stem them without breaking. To each
pound allow three pounds Of sugar.
Take some ordinary currants and
bruise them while warm until you
have pint of juice. Put half a cupful
Of this into a porcelain kettle and
three pounds of sugar. Bring slowly
to a boil and skim carefully. After
boiling five minutes drop in very care
fully one pound of the large currants
and let simmer four minutes Take
them out without breaking them and
boil the strip down five minutes or
longer II not very thick, as the cur
rants are sometimes less juicy than at
others. A few minutes more will be
needed at one time than another. When
thick skim well and strain through e
hot cloth over the fruit Put into lit
tie jelly glasses and when cold cover

THE new FREEZER
Ice Cream as 1t Should Be Made
In Your Home.
FOOD VALUE OF 1T IS GREAT.

A Domestic Science Expert Talks
About the Substitutes For This Hot
Weather Delieaey-The Real Thing
Dishes Out Quite Different From
Gelatinous Mixtures.
The government standard calls for
an ice cream made Of cream, sugar and
fiavoring and containing from II to IA
per cent Of butter fat. Since cream
itself averages about 20 per cent Of
fat and may have as much as 10, this
would not seem unreasonable, but
many there be who consider ice cream,
made Of cream, to be the dream Of an
idealist and too rich for the average
taste and digestion
II you don't want a straight ice
cream, well and good If frozen Gus
tard, sherbet or a cornstarch pudding
Is preferred, have It, but buy it and,
incidentally, pay for It under it's own
name. Don't call 1t ice cream.
Let ice cream be sold as such to pre-
vent fraud, that the invalid, the con-
valescent and the child may not get
something they should not have, and
that every one may know what he is
eating. For true ice cream Is a sub
stantial food; 1t Is not merely frozen
dainty for topping OF meal. With 6
per cent Of tissue building protein
from the milk-and the best kind Of
protein at that-14 per cent Of fat, also
of the most approved quality, about 16
per cent Of sugar and with an energy
value almost equal to that Of brown
bread, weight for weight, the food
value Of Ice cream Is not to be over
looked.
OF course If one wants a sturdy,
companionable product, one that will
sit about socially with the family on a
warm summer evening and show no
disposition to run away, then starch
gum-gelatin mixture, with just enough
milk and flavoring to give it character,
Is Just the thing, but 1t isn't ice cream.
While various dangers threaten ice
cream, the most serious are those due
to the use of carelessly handled cream
containing disease organisms or strep-
tococci. the melting and refreezing Of
the product and its manufacture or
storage In uncleanly, insanitary places.
We cannot depend upon the freezing
nor even upon pasteurization to de-
stroy the toxins produced by organisms
In the milk, even If the bacteria them
selves are killed. Typical illness mark
ed by collie, headache. depression and
diarrhea has been traced to the pres
ence Of colon bacilli, acquired during
the process of manufacture while the
mixture cooled in an insanitary place.
1t is a good plan to know your ice
cream maker like a brother or to make
1t yourself. And obviously the children
should be warned against the ice
cream cone and the wayside stand that
so appeal to their vagrant hearts and
fearless stomachs. cruel as such a pre-
caution may seem.
After the third or fourth year chill
dren may be cautiously introduced to
plain vanilla cream. small amounts at
weekly intervals being given. Wheth-
er or not it agrees is largely a question
