Furniture That She Would Enjoy Al

When we come TO real furniture we
find no end Of small pieces inexpensive
and suitable for Christmas giving
which lend themselves agreeably to
this room or that and constitute per-
fectly safe" choice. The popular kid
ney table" a most attractive invention
laboripg under an ugly name, Is one Of
these. Two years ago 1t was only to be
found in the most exclusive shops; to-
day we find 1t wherever good furniture
is sold, and with its gracefully curved
traFllke top and slender legs, one at
each end, 1t fits into all sorts Of places
where a regular" table would be awk-
ward or refuse to 90 at all. OF mahog
any it sells for about SIS in the very
finest finish: Of oak 1t Is cheaper, and
when OF real lacquered woods ii Is
more. Not the least charming Of the
various STYLES. however, Is the kidney

CASPER BEATTIE
SEVERELY INJURED

While at work on the top of Dandy
Mountain with his father, Tuesday,
Casper, the 16 year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Beattie of Manchester
Center, was caught in the fly wheel of
a gasoline engine and very severely
injured.
1t seems that Mr.. Bcattie was at
work cutting wood for the owner of
the lot when the son, who knew how
to run the engine, started to put oil in
the cylinder. While engaged at this
he was drawn intothe fly WHEEL and ter
ribly whipped in the snow and ice,
every stitch of clothing being torn
from his body before the engine could
be stopped. The young mans right
leg was broken and he was terribly
lacerated and wounded.
The young man was taken to his
home as soon as possible and DR..
Lovejoy was called and his wounds
dressed. The doctor says that no
other bones were broken and that un
less something unforeseen happens the
young fellow will pull through all
right.

A REAL SANTA CLAUS.
Tips For Interesting Entertainment
That Children Like.

When there are many young people a
Santa Claus sack causes endless de-
light. For the complete success of the
plan it is necessary for the house to
have a convenient chimney and access
to the roof. On Christmas morning
each person receives a note from Santa
Claus requesting him to be in a special
room at certain time. When the
time arrives there is a iingling Of
bells in the chimney and then slides
down a tempting looking sack-"from
Santa Clausl" The plan is simply
worked by collecting all presents into
a brown sack, which is securely fast
ened. Then on Christmas morning one
person goes on to the roof and lets
down the chimney rope bearing a
strong hook. On to the latter the sack
is fixed by another person below, the
rope is hauled up the chimney suf-
ficient distalx,e and let down again at
the appointed time,

distributing small presents. A large

taro-should be decorated with flow
ers and evergreens and filed with
small presents, bonbons and trinkets.
1t should then be hung by strong cords
from the middle Of ceiling to within
about eight feet of the floor. In turn
the people are blindfolded, led several
times around the room, then brought
to within a yard Of the Jar, given
sturdy stick and told to hit it. Each
one takes turn in this until the jar is
broken, the successful person being
awarded special prize.
There are many substitutes for the
big Christmas tree, one of the best be-
ing large Japanese parasol, open and
hung by the handle from the ceiling.
1t should be gaily decorated with rib
bons and tinsel, the presents being ar
ranged along the wires and on stout
strings going from the points to the
handle.

Feeding Babies In PondoIand.

II a Pondo baby lives through the
first year Of his life, nothing short of
an earthquake or a submarine can
jeopardize his future. Consider, for
example. the way he is fed.
His mother lays him fat on his
back on her lap. With one hand she
makes q funnel over his mouth and
with the other holds gourd contain
Ing about a quart Of thick, sour milk,
called "amasa." This she proceeds to
pour down the screaming child despite
his sputters. kicks and chokings. Not
until the last drop has passed through
her hand does she release him.
A frequent result Of this forced feed
Ing Is a cOnvulsion, and the mother,
frantic with fear, dispatches a messen-
ger for the medicine man. If he is q
proper medicine man he has carefully
Quizzed the messenger on the way
over, and knows just what is expected
of him.
Without even a cursory glance at
the sick child, he calls for large dish
and into this pours a little more than
a pint Of water. Powdered roots,
bark, bones, claws and sometimes
pieces Of hair are mixed with the wa
ter and the mother is then ordered co
give all Of this splendid medicine to
the baby instanter. The doctor then
departs for some distant place, leav-
ing no immediate address,. NJ. An

HAM TO TEMPT THE EPlCURE
New York Man Asserts That Meat
Smoked With corneobs 10 DeIicaey
Fit for kino.

There are probably q million hams
In this city, counting only the COM
mercial variety No one pretends -
guess at the number of human hams.
But a man on the upper West side
claims to have two hams which are
different from all the hundreds Of thou
sands of others in New York. He is
willing to wager that these two are
the only genuine corncob smoked hams
In town.
The hams come from Connecticut.
So did the man. As a boy on his
fathers farm he was fed, more or less,
on cOb-smoked ham. He didn't realize
his luck at the time. But later, out In
a world Of hams smoked anyhow and
anywhere, he missed the old delectable
flavor and finally determined to re.
capture 1t.
Back to Connecticut he went on q
still hunt for q farmer with cOrncobs
and hams and a willingness to intro
duce them to each other. He found
his farmer up In the northwest corner
Of the state. And now early every
winter the only two cOb-smoked hams
In town arrive at this mans house.
The process Of smoking them is a
matter of several weeks. Every day
shovelful of Goals Is carried to the
smokehouse and placed in a sort of
brazier with iron bars. Then bushel
Of corncobs is dumped on the Goals.
There must be no flame, Just a smol-
.dering fire with plenty Of smoke. Thia
is repeated daily.-New York Times.

Makes RoofeSs Work Easier.

The tin roofer formerly received his
metal in the shape Of plates, and these
were soldered together as they were
used. This operation consumed q great
deal Of time, as 1t was generally done
on the scene Of the work under adverse
conditions, but recently there has been
introduced a machine which soldiers
these sheets together and delivers them
in a roll Of any desired length, so that
the workman is saved much time In
the sheets on the roof. The
sheets, with edges locked, are hooked
together and fed into the machine
one seam being cold pressed while the
one before it is hot pressed. The ma.
chine is worked by one man. The
capacity Of the. machine y four seams
per minute, or 20 boxes Of tin plate PEI
day. The economy and speed Of this
arrangement for the workman will be
evident to anyone.

Irritation In Utah Mount.ir

Up in the Utah mountains some very
clever points in irrigation are devel.
oped. One worth this special notice
is in the irrigation Of deciduous fruit
trees. In this case they had a deep,
gravelly soil to. deal with and they
found that by frequent irrigations, ap.
piled about once week, they pro-
duced more twig growth in peach trees
with 81 acre inches than with 81
inches. As regards crops, the frequent
application of water produced the most
fruit, and no amount of water applied
early in the season will compensate for
lack Of water during the month before
harvest High color of fruit was asso-
ciated with late watering and insult.
eient irrigation produced poor colored
fruit.
