Not a Word Waster.

Sir William Grant, the learned mas
ter of the rolls, was native Of the
county of Banff and for a considerable
time represented that county In par
lament Though forcible and easy
speaker, scarcely inferior to any Of his
time at the bar or In parliament, he
was remarkably silent man, says the

patient of judges. The story is we'll
known of his hearing an elaborate ar
gument for two days on the meaning
Of an act Of parliament and when the
counsel finished simply saying, Gen
tlemen, the act is repealed" On one Of
his visits to Banff he rode out few
miles into the country, accompanied by
a few friends. The only observation
that escaped, from him was In passing
a field of peas. "Very fine peas!'
Next day he rode out with the same
cortege and was equally silent, but on
passing the same spot he muttered.
"And very finely podded too"

When the butter is two-thirds done
add about a pound of brown sugar to

ENDLESS CHAIN LETTERS.
Tho One That Started the Ball Rolling
In This Country.

The first OF the endless chain"
schemes that have proved such an AN
noyance TO postal officials in all coun.
tries was launched on June 81, 1893,
by young girl, Natalie Schenck, of
Babylon, ~ Y. Her project was pure
ly benevolent and was animated by
a spirit of patriotism. Desiring to
raise n fund for the aid of American
soldiers then fighting Spain, she orig
5inated the endless chain idea as an
adaptation of II scheme. that had u
vogue In England until 1t was stopped
by act Of parliament
The "chnin" was started With four
letters written by Miss Sehenck to as
many girl friends. Each was asked
TO contribute 10 cents and write four
similar letters to other friends. A few
days later the Babylon postollico be-
gan to get busy, and as the days went
by the postal officials got buster and
buster until they were fairly buried un-
der the weight of mail which descend
cd upon them like an avalanche.
A hurry call went to Washington for
tNllh h'lP, hilu Hi"il Nha utlN 'l'u w
Miss Schcnck by the truck load. Now
that young lady began to feel the eff
fects of the scheme. Her home was
Uttered from cellar TO garret with let
ters, letters and more letters, all con
tanning dimes. Before the thing died
out Of It's own accord she had received
more than II quarter of n million dimes.
Fakers all over the world heard Of it,
and, as takers VIII, they Immediately
got busy, Hundreds of thousands of
people were swlndlcd out Of money In
this manner until the postal authori-
ties put an end 10 it, The famous
endless chain prayer, which threatens
endless punishment 10 any person who
breaks 1t, has been one of the hardest
survivors of all.-New York World.

Another method of making apple
butter is to make a smooth sauce of
the apples before adding to the boiled
cider and use In the same proportion
as above. This method requires about
three hours of cooking after the ad-
dition of the apples.
A third method requires no cider.
Firm, tart apples are allowed to sim
mer slowly for long time until of
the right consistency. When nearly
done pound of brown sugar is added
for each gallon and the butter is spiced
to taste.
The commission for the final big
drive to save the food of the nation
will award $4,000 in prizes to those
who win awards at the war garden ex-
hibitions that will be held throughout
the country. Charles Lathrop Pack,
the president, and p. S. Ridsdale, sec
rotary of the commission, are now
working out details and ask that all
war garden committees and those in
charge of the exhibitions write to the
commission at 210 Maryland building
giving a brief outline of their plan Of
awards.

KICK OF THE MULE.
II Is Not Treachery, but Fear, That
Moves the Springs.

Handled intelligently, a mule Is n
most willing worker, but there are a
few unwritten laws that Cannot be
transgressed with impunlty. A mule
will seldomA make more than two at
tempts to move load. On the first
strain re will throw his whole force
into the collar, and mule can pull so
per cent more in proportion to his
weight than horse. Science Is dumb
at the question whence comes that
latent force which neither horse nor
ass possesses.
After short rest the mule will make
a second attempt, but this is seldom as
sustained as the first. If the load still
refuses to move, the team might as
well be unhitched. At times the mules
wifi not even exert enough force on Il
third attempt to move an empty wagon.
Mules are charged with treachery
only by those who have never given
an intensive study to their habits.
Mules defend themselves from that
which they do not understand. They
become accustomed TO being lafndssed
and Embarrassed willie colts, and 1t
IS traditional that mule tlever kicks
while being saddled or harnGssed. Tho
beast knows what that means, .r
But 1t is also traditional that a mule
sleeps with one eye, open. He is al
waya alert to what is going OH about
him. y is never safe to st6op' down
suddenly t" pick something up behind
or Mt the side OF mule. That Is to
him an unexplained action, He. can
not fathom the intent BACK Of IT,. and
he generally let's fly with one or both
heels by way OF protest.
A person who has hariirssed and un.
.harnessed mule for months may for
get himself and stoop for something
at the animals heels. Then, the mule,
docile for so many days, begins, to, kick.
When the luckless driver rcgains his
senses he imagincs the mule had been
waiting craftily all those weeks just
to get good opportunity to kick him.
