stop this whisky business? So many

The historic city of K he m s,
France, a week ago was said to
have been reduced by German guns
to nothing but pile of smoking
ruins. During last week alone the
Germans fired 100000 shells into
the heart of the city and the city
was in flames all the week. There
are no streets and ancient buildings
which date from the 18th century
and earlier have been reduced to
dust and ashes. The famous
cathedral, one of the most beauti-
full in the world, in which kings of
France have been crowned back in
the Middle ages, is falling stone by
stone and soon there will be left
nothing of it except the West front
and the pillars. The Germans seem
to take especial delight in making
this great cathedral the target of
the guns-a barbaric pleasure even
more pronounced than has ever
been exhibited by the so-called
UnSpeakable Turks" While
Rheims was under German bonn
bardment last week, firemen from
Paris worked in the former city
helping the inhabitants to save fur
niture and other portable effects
and some of them lost their lives.

OLD NEW ENGLAND CUSTOMS.
In the Days When Brides Were Stolen
and Had to Be Ransomed.

and Had to Be Ransomed.
A half savage custom prevailed in
many early New England towns. A
group of those young men who had
not been invited to the wedding would
invade the house when the marriage
ceremony had been performed and drag
away the bride to an inn or some other
house, when the groom and his party
would follow and rescue her by paying
a forfeit of dinner to the bride steal
ers. In western Massachusetts this
custom fingered until Revolutionary
times. In Judd's "HistOry of Hadley"
the names of stolen brides are given.
Mrs. Job Marsh, married in 1888, is
said to have been the last bride thus
stolen. A vererough variation of this
custom is reported to be still in vogue
in some localities in Rhode Island.
Nine. Sarah Knights in her journal of
a horseback ride from Boston to New
York in 1901 tells of ridiculous alter
alton of this marriage custom, which
she saw In Connectcut-to steal the
bridegroom.
Many other curious fashions prevail
ed in different localities. In some
towns the. young men rode or ran to
the brides house for bottle of rum.
In others the bees were told Of the
wedding and given bride cake. In still
others the unmarried girls scrambled
for the brides garter to see who would
be married next.-Alice Morse Earle

When Safety First, and\ Not Large
Returns Is the object.
"a conservative policy would prompt
all buyers Of securities to invest at
least portion of their capital in gov
ernment issues or some other form OF
sound bonds" says Leslies Weekly.
MANY investors have preference
exclusively for stocks because the lat
ter may render higher yield or may
fuctuate more widely, thus offering
larger chances for speculative profit.
Dividend paying shares of the season.
ed sort are not to be belittled, and they
will perhaps always form the major
portion of sthe average investors pur.
chases: There is reasonable safety in
them.
"But firmer 'cornerstones of fortune
are found in the better class bonds.
These are not necessarily gilt edged,
but they are well secured. In times
of prosperity the issuing corporations
have no difficulty in meeting interest
charges. In times Of depression divi-
dends on stocks may be suspended,
but the enterprise must pay interest
on Its bonds or submit TO foreclosure.
And in such event the bondholder rare
" suffers loss. Their high degree Of
stability and safety commends good
bonds as an indispensable part Of any
well established estate.

The mountains are now white enough
to insure good supply of water for
the coming summer months and the in
dications are that the pumping plant
may be used only a small portion of the
season. 1t would seem that the amount
of rainfall during the fall and winter
months, should be ample 10 furnish a
sufficient flow of water through the
gravity system for the summers do
mestic needs, but on investigation it is
found that the springs are gushing
forth no stronger than they did last
summer and fall. 1t follows that a
light snow fall during the winter re-
suits in scant water supply, while
heavy SHOWS in the mountains are sure
to produce strong flowing springs dur
ing the summer months.

FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment With Sort of Perpet-
uaI Motion Effect.

An Experiment WIN SoTt VI Te'PS'
- ual Motion Effect.
A novel experiment in the demon
stration of perpetual motion is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six inches high and four inches
In diameter is filed with water to the
height Of about four and half inches,
and two and one-half to three ounces
Of commercial-aniline are added, which
will sink to the bottom of the vessel,
The temperature of the bcaker and
its contents is now raised to ITO or It's
degrees F. by means of a burner, when
it will be observed that the aniline will
rise to the surface Of the water, from
which 1t will hang In mass of curved
outline. Almost Immediately the sus-
pended aniline commences to alter In
shape, and gradually large drop an
inch or more in diameter detaches it
self from the mass and falls through
the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom Of the beaker,
comes the surprising part of the ex-
pertinent. The fallen drop is seen grad
ually to rise to the surface, where it
joins the mass from which it previous
ly broke away. At once another drop
commences to form and, having be-
come detached, falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.
SO long as the temperature of the
water is maintained at ITO degrees or
over this procedure continues. rs

Hinh Cost of Hiah Living.

According to james Churchill, one OF
the famous New York restaurateurs.
it costs the men who cater to the great
throng of cabaret diners some $1O9,-
$4,000 n year to keep things going in
the proper Gotham style. In itemized
form he reckons rent at 40 millions,
license tax and stamps 30'A millions,
payroll 175A millions, supplies 1927 mill
lions.
This neat little sum is merely what
it costs the proprictors, be 1t UNDER
stood. The amount paid in by regular
and occasional habitues of the lobster
palaces" may safely be put at 80 per
cent more, or $1,0G3,975,500. Yes, high
living comes high, and 1t is time to
think of having less Of it.-Boston

WORK OF THE CHlCKADEE.
This Little Bird Is Formidable Foe Of
the Cankerwcrm.


In May the chickadees build their
nests In the cavity of a decayed tree
trunk or limb and line them with moss,
plant down and feathers. From five
to eight white eggs spotted with red
dish brown are laid In each soft era
die. The chickadees eat in the sum
mer many insects and their eggs.
Farmers dread the cankerworm, which,
unchecked, completely destroys apple
orchards. At one meal this tiny bird
will eat 250 eggs of the cankerworm
and will have several meals day.
During its migration in October the
chickadee is more numerous In the
New England states than in the sum
mer. Throughout the greater part of
its range, from Labrador to Maryland
and in the Alleghenies southwark to
North Carolina, these merry midgets
are found at all seasons. But 1t is with
the fall and winter that they are gen.
orally associated. No one need feel
lonely when these little black and
white birds are around They are so
friendly and tame and some of their
notes sound SO much like words that
they seem to be talking. Besides the
familiar "chick-a-dee" call they have a
high. sweet whistle of two or three
notes.
In the autumn the partridge berries
are ripe, and upon them these birds
have many a feast. And later the ber-
ries of the wintergreen, Solomon's
seal, dogwood and Indian cucumber
may be used as food.-Philadelphia

Getting the Best Results Out OF Fores
quarter Of Lamb.
Are YOU aware of how much You can
get from a forequarter of lamb? If 1t
is cut correctly 1t should give a rack
of lamb (French chops and shoulder,
besides the neck and the breast, which
may be boiled.
From these last parts one can make
croquettes, meat loaf, minced lamb
on toast and salad, besides many 9TH
er cooked meat dishes. The shoulder
can be filed and roasted, boiled with
caper sauce or pot roasted.
The rack, which is made up of dainty
French chops, is the choicest part OF
the entire lamb, and IL the butcher
cuts the forequarter correctly there
win be twelve delicious chops. These
may be cut as needed or roasted In one
piece.
To cut the forequarter correctly re-
move the shoulder and take out all the
bone; cut off the neck and breast, then
remove the chine and the chops. Don't
throw away the bciies and trimmings
Boil and strain them, then set aside
to cool and remove the fat, which then
can be used for deep fat frying
