New Jersey Zinc.

Zinc ores of New Jersey differ ma
terially from those generally mined
throughout the west. The New Jersey
ores consist of mixture of frank
Unite, zincite and willemite in gan
que of garnet and calcite. The ore
Is crushed and run through a mag
netic separator which makes three
products: willemite, used in making
spelter; franklinite, employed in the
manufacture of zinc oxide; and mix

Let Old Wounds Heal.

"By the time a man has reached
forty the chances are that something
has happened to him TO destroy his
peace of mind" These words were
spoken by one of the wounded who
didn't know how to take care of his
mind. He kept the wound from healing
by letting his mind dwell upon it-by
making it a controlling circumstance
in Lis life. Recovery was possible for
him. He might even have been bet
ter man for the wound. But he chose
to take harm out of it instead OF TAX
ing good.
Here lies the greatest danger for the
wounded. Ifthey let the wound poison
the whole system it will, indeed, spoit
their lives. But there is always some
thing else to do-to put the system
into such condition that the wound
shall inevitably heal and perhaps NOT
leave even a disfgurirg trace on the
mind.-John D. Barry.

Pulses.

Pulses are meek little creatures thae
live in wrists and serve as pacemakers
for the heart, telling it how fast to
beat. There has never been a case
known to science where tie heart has
not beat as fast as the pulse. Pulses
sometimes get much excited under
stress of fear, strange young ladies'
and other embarrassment, and the
heart has to put forth its best licks to
keep within hailing distance. Pulses
oftentimes act up in very unseemly
manner under the thumb of an insur-
ance doctor and, indeed, have been
known to save their owners from 50
to S25 month in life insurance which
they have prevented his getting.
Unfortunately, pulses are located In
a very inaccessible place for repair
purposes, and when they begin to back
fire and miss there is no chance to
throw up the radiator hood and peek
into their carburetors and things.
Pulses are invaluable to doctors in AZ
irving at a diagnosis. That is to say,
while the doctor is apparently engaged
in tolling off the pulse rate, he has a
dandy opportunity to make few like
ly guesses as to the nature of his
clients new ailment. Besides all this,
pulses are very handy little things
around which to wear pulse warmers
and wrist watches. A man with no
pulse is dead to all practical purposes.

Black Feline Aaent Of Evil.

In nearly every weird legend black
cat figures as the agent Of evil. A story
generally accepted down to the middle
of the nineteenth century was that
when Satan desired to disturb the
peace of mankind he assumed the form
of a black tomcat. In Germany, Eng
land and France during the middle
ages it was usual to wind up a religious
celebration by throwing cat from a
height to the road below.
Among the many popular fallacies
accepted by unlettered and ignorant
persons is one that cat can see better
at night than in the day, and that it is
able to see clearly in pitchblack dark
ness. But the real secret of the cats
ability to move rapidly iu dark room
lies in its feelers, commonly called
whiskers, and in its natural surefoot-
edDeSs.

COWPEAS ARE REALLY BEANS
Practically Unknown In North, They
Make Very Nourish'ng Food, Say
Government Experts.

Cowpeas or Southern field peas,
which, despite their name, are really
a kind of bean, are like other dry
beans, comparable with meat in the
kind of nourishment contained in
them, and can, in the opinion of spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, well be used more
extensively as human food. They are
commonly used in the South, where
they are extensively grown, but are
practically unknown in the North and
Northwest, where other, often more
expensive, beans are consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties of cow
peas, of which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sirable for the table. In palatability,
digestibility and nutritive value they
compare favorably with other beans,
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads many to consider them equal, if
not superior, to the latter.
Cowpeas are used on the table in
three forms-in the pod, shelled green
and shelled corresponding, re-
spectively, to string beans, shelled
green beans and dried beans, and call
ing for much the same methods of
preparation for the table. The dry
cowpeas are by far the most common.
Like dry navy or Lima beans, cow
peas may be boiled with bit of fat
meat or baked and served in place or
lean meat or other food rich in nitro
gen. Boiled and mashed through
colander, the beans form foundation
for numerous dishes. They may be
creamed with milk and butter, like
mashed potatoes; formed into GRO
Quettes with bread crumbs and fried
or baked; made into loaf with bread
crumbs, minced vegetables, milk and
seasonings; or made into soup.
A delicious combination dish, called
"Hopping John," may be made as fol-
lows: Boil one quart of cowpeas and
a scant pint of rice separately and mix
together when done. The rice should
be seasoned after it Is cooked. Bacon
or beef bone boiled with the cowpeas
adds a desirable flavor TO the dish.

popular tune, otherwise it could not so
perfectly have followed its peculiar
meter.
This is still an open question, but
Mr.. Sonneck has run down the facts
of the creation Of the tune now ia
millar to practically every man, wom-
aR and child in the United States to an
almost certain point, which is that it
was most probably composed by John
Stafford Smith, an English musician
who lived between the dates of 1850
and 1886.

Art and Mature.

Art is the expression of life. Ma
ture is beloved by every normal human
being. Because of this we are apt to
think that nature is art. Nature is
the inspiration for art, but the t'vO
are widely different. Nature does rot
take into consideration the needs TO
which these objects are to be put. A
flower growing in the field was never
supposed TO be embroidered on a sofa
pillow or painted on plate. If you
are translating anything into art, con
ventionalize it.-Exchange.

The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus Vine"
The tune became very popular in
England and the musical intercourse
between the two countries was too
lively in those days to permit a we'll
known air to remain barred from our
shores. A columbian AnacreOntic So
ciety," founded in New York in l7Q5,
in imitation of the London club, un-
doubtedly did its part in familiarizing
the tune.
1t was perhaps first used in this
country in connection with patriotic
words when it was surg to the verses
entitled adams and Liberty" written
by Robert Treat Paine IN 1898. The
stirring words, Of course, referred to
the second president Of the United
States. The first lines are MS follows:
Ye sons of Columbia, who brnvely have
fought
For those rights, which unsseiled from
your sires had descended,
May you long taste the blessings your
valor has brought
And your sons reap the soil which your
fathers defended.
Other patriotic words carried the
same air at later periods and it was
familiar to the American people when
it was added to "The Star Spangled
Banner" for all time.

FIRST FLAG OVER SCHOOL
Honor Is Claimed for Colrain, Mass.
Where National Banner Was
Raised in May, 1872.

Today the United States flag flies
over millions of schoolhouses in every
city, town and hamlet, throughout the
United States, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines, On every day of patri-
otic observance exercises are held Mt
which the flag is saluted and the pupils
standing give a military salute and in
chorus slowly and distinctly repeat:
II pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the republic for which it stands, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL
The distinction of antedating all
other schoolhouses in raising the flag
belongs to little log schoolhouse on
Catamount hill, Colrain, Mass, in May,
1912. The second war with Great Bri-
tain was threatening at that time, and
the people of the community raised the
flag in an outburst of patriotism and
loyalty to the United States govern
ment. The man who felled the tree to
make the flagpole and three members
of the committee in charge of the
holsting of the flag were short time
later marching away to the war.
After careful investigation of the
claim of this school being the first to
raise the Stars and Stripes, there was
set up, in May, 1903 on the place where
the old log schoolhouse had stood, a
neat stone tablet on which was carved:
The First United States Flag
raised over a public school was
tloated in May. 1872, from log
schoolhouse which stood on this
place.
Less than a month after the flag on
Fort Sumter had been fired upon flag
was raised over the Fifth street gram
mar school at New Bedford, Mass, May
II, 1861. This was eight months after
the dedication of the school building.
One of the earliest instances known
of q flag being raised over Il school
building or grounds was over Wash
ington school, Chicago, three days
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon.
The principal, Benjamin f. Cutter,
bought the bunting and four of his
teachers made the flag, One of these
women was native of Maine, one
from Massachusetts, another was born
in New York state, and the fourth,
Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones of Yer
mont, was afterward Il past national
president of the Woman's Relief corps.
This flag has been an inspiration to
the pupils of that school for more than
half century, being unfurled every
Ischool day.
