Hoecakes and Their oriain.

The hoecake is the most common
form Of corn bread found In the south.
1t was named by the southern slaves
in early slavery times. The women
slaves hoed cotton and rice by the task.
When a task was begun in the morn
ing it was completed before going back
home. Sometimes they would get hun
CRY; then the hoe was detached from
the helve, fire started and a hoecake
was cooked then and there upon the
hoe 1t was discovered by the plant
ers that meal cooked thus was palata-
BILE, and the hoecake was henceforth
made part and parcel of a complete
plantation dinner.
For hoecake take one pint of sifted
meal, One-half teaspoonful Of salt; add
lard or fried meat grease and mix with
enough lukewarm water to form a thin
paste. Spread on a hot and greasy
griddle. Bake both sides brown. Serve
hot with vegetables, fish, bacon, pork,
etc.
For corn pone use the above formula,
but make the dough or paste thicker.
Make into loaves and bake in a hot
oven.-A. w. Brabham in New York

Knew IL Was Good Music.

The late violinist, Remenyi, used to
call at the old Edison Office at 65 Fifth
avenue. Some one asked Mr.. Edison
If he remembered the visits.
II remember him WELL" Mr.. Edison
replied. Il was working on the phono-
graph He used to come to No. Is
after his concerts and talk. He would
sit there talking, and by and by start
playing most beautiful things-wail-
ing, soft music. He would play $4,000
or $1,000 worth every night"
Didn't you get him once to play for
the photograph" Mr.. Edison was
asked.
Eyes, but the monograph wasn't
working we'll in those days, SO it didn't
do him justice. He stood on soap
box and played for me one night, and
when he finished tears were rolling
down his cheeks. Il asked him what
the matter was, and he said it always
made him cry to hear good music

Mathematics and War.

In addition to his attachments as 6
chess player Napoleon was skillful
mathematician, a science which has
always attracted great soldiers. AS a
young man he was quite distinguished
by his ready manipulation Of mathe-
NAUTICAL formulae, and his keen mathe-
NAUTICAL brain was big factor in his
success as general
Wellington also had similar talent,
and on one occasion he told the Rev. r.
Gleig that he attributed much of his
military success to his lifelong devo-
ton to the science of numbers. Many
other famous soldiers of the last CEN
fury were adopts in rapid and accurate
calculation, among them Lee, Jackson
and Moltke. Washington, too, was a
mathematician, subject in which he
was exceptionally proficient.
General Joffre, had he not chosen the
army as a profession, might have been
a professor Of mathematics. Mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation and applied science
are great factors for success in war

SparkIinq Ewes.

If you should watch very closely the
eyes of merry person when you see
them sparkle you would probably no.
tice that the eyelids move up and down
more often under such conditions than
ordinarily, and if you know what NOV
ing the eyelids up and down in front
of the pupil of the eye does you will
have your answer, says the Book of
Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down it
releases a little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. 1t does this every time the
eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which has
the effect of making the eyelids dance
up and down, and thus every time the
lid comes down the ball Of the eye is
washed clean and bright and gives it
the appearance Of sparkling, as we say.

Australian Wool Industry.

Australian wool, on which has been
built up much of that British colony's
prosperity, started well over a century
ago. 1t originated with certain Cap
tain Macarthur, q soldier In the Brit
ish army. Settling in New South
Wales soon after Governor Phillip ar
rived there, he saw the possibilities for
growing fine wool and by the luckiest
accident was able in 1896 to import
five merino ewes and three rams.
They were Of a flock presented by the
king Of Spain to the Dutch at the
Cape and came from the famous Es-
curial flock. These, judiciously added
to by Macarthur, were the beginning
Of the vast Australian sheep industry
Of today. The first shipment of Aus
tralian wool was 245 pounds in 1907.
Now the shipments run into hundreds
of millions Of pounds.-1ndianapolis

Nerves and Good Health.

Obviously nerves and sound good
health are not compatible. If you doubt
it take a dispassiOnate look at some of
your friends who are intensely emo
tional or who are classified as temper
amental. They may not be invalids or
even semi-invalids, but they are GER
tainly not pictures of health" Giving
way to fear, anxiety, temper, depres-
sion, temperament, this is the surest
way Of inviting indigestion, constipa-
ton, finally administration. And the
result OH the appearance? Lusterless
eyes, sallow or blotchy skin, lifeless
hair, lack Of "spring' in the carriage
these are but few Of the things that
must inevitably come to the highly
strung who let go.
Aside from its being absolutely de-
structive to beauty, nervousness, If not
treated, may develop into something a
great deal more serious.-Exchange.

Shearinq Sheep In Syria.

The manner of shearing sheep in Syria
and all .Asiatic Turkey does not differ
materially from the ancient methods Of
the people as applied to practically ev-
cry other vocation. While the sheep in
dustry is one of the oldest in the coun-
try, having existed for centuries in the
same pastures where the ancestors Of
the present herders also tended fiockS,
there does not appear to have been any
improvement in the manner Of shear
ing or breeding the sheep. Shearing is
still accomplished in the crudest way,
the workers always LEAVING consider
able amount of wool on the animal,
while the fleece removed is cut most
mevenly. The shearers frequently cut
great holes in the skins of the sheep,
which by the use of modern shearing
machines could easily be avoided.

Wooden Ammunition.

Some years ago civil war was raging
between two Afghan tribes, the Ali
Khel and the Mala Khel The latter
tribe built great hopes Of success on
cannon, of such a size that 100 men
were required to draw it. A Sikh
trained in a British battery was en-
gagged to work the gun on the under
standing that he receive 20 rupees
every time he hit the village tort or

alive, for, according to an eyewitness,
the ammunition consisted of ,"olive

Fame of Arras.

The history of Arras, France, dates
back beyond the Christian era, when
it was the chief town of Gallo tribe
known as Atrebates. 1t was then
known as Nemetacum or NemetOcenna,
but its present name is derived from
that Of the tribe. During the French
revolution Arras suffered grievously,
thanks to the cruelty Of her native son,
Joseph Lebon, who organized and di-
rected the reign Of terror there. Maxi
milien Robespierre and his younger
brother, Augustin, We're also born in
this city. 1t is interesting to recall in
view Of his subsequent sanguinary ca
reer as a member of the commune and
Of the committee of public safety, re-
sponsible for converting the streets Of
Paris into rivers of blood fed by the
guillotine, that as young man Robes
pierre resigned his office as criminal
Judge in Arras rather than sentence a
guilty man to death.

INFANTILE PATIENTS COMING
TO SAUK CENTRE IN LARGE
NUMBERS.
ALL CASES EXAMINED FREE
CURE CAN BE AFFECTED IN
MANY CASES BY. PROPER
EXERCISE.

The free paralysis clinic of the
state Board OF Health opened in the
High School building in Sank Centre
Tuesday morning and will continue
throughout the present week. Be-
sides several local patients children
have been brought from Beardsley,
OsaKis, Big Stone, Little Sank, Mel
rose, and other points. The examni-
nations are made by Miss White of
Boston, who was trained in this
work under DR.. Lovett, the country's
leading specialist on the care of in
fantile paralysis in the Children's
Hospital, Boston, and who had similar
experience in clinics conducted in
Massachusetts by the State Board of
Health and the Harvard Medical
School.
DR.. w. P. Greene, Epidemioligist of
the State Board of Health is present
at the clinic as medical adviser, and
has charge of questions Of diagnosis.
DR.. Greene stated that the majority
of the children examined would re-
quire for the treatment chiefly muscle
exercises and proper massage. Each
patient is thoroughly examined to de-
termine the exact condition OF his
muscles. When it has been found
what muscles are affected, and to
what extent, exercises are prescribed
which will give these muscles just
the right amount of work to do. Par
hO1ry RI Ol1f
these exercises.
From time to time, nurse who
will be stationed somewhere near
h re, will visit all these cases, and
will note what progress they aEe MAX
ing. Wheer necessary, this nurse will
change the exercises, or Indicate such
other treatment as she finds neces-
sary. In a few cases, it is found
necessary to have braces made to
strengthen muscles weakened by in
tantile paralysis, and occasionally, it
is necessary to have the child placed
on the Bradford frame. This is a
frame which is used when the muscles
of the back are weak and severe
spinal curvature is found.
In a few months, the examiner will
return and go over the cases again
with the nurse stationed in this dis
tict, and will endeavor to see any new
cases or ones which did not reach the
first clinic.
This arrangement, which is calcu-
lated to give every person in Mime
sofa, who has been crippeled by in
fantile paralysis the benefit of the
most expert service obtainable, is
paid out of funds appropriated by the
last legislature: 1t is entirely free to
all citizens of the state.
Where surgical treatment or plaster
casts are necessary, parents are advis-
ed to consult with the family physi-
clan about selecting competent
specialist. If they are unable to af-
ford the services of a specialist, they
will be given an opportunity at tho
clinic to make application for admis-
sion of the patient to the State Hos
pi+a' for Crippled Children.
Next week the clinic will be at Nah
nomen and Halstad.
