REAL VETERAN OF THE SOIL
Connecticut Farm Hand Worked Fifty
Years for One Family, and
Died at Eighty.

According to Hartford Courant
there died In one of the shore towns
recently a man In his eIghtietn year,
OF whom the newspapers said little,
yet In ZONE ways his career was as
unique de to demand some considera-
ton. He was farmer, had spent his
life In farm work and for fifty years
had been employed by one family. The
Civil war had just ended when he be-
gan his term of service as a typical
Connecticut farm hand. who ate his
meals with his employer and the men,
bers of his employers family, and who
reserved and exercised the right of
criticizing his employers acts and de-
cisions. If need be, at all times and in
all places.
He saw his employer grow old and
go the way Of all the earth, but went
ON with the farm work in the employ
OF his son, who had taken his fathers
acres and worked with and for him un-
til the son went from youth to we'll
past middle age and was able to mus
ter for work good-sized group of
grandsons of the original employer. At
last he reluctantly admitted that he
was growing old and, of his own Volt
ton. left his employment and, at last.
when the malady which killed him af-
ter three days seized him, 1t found him
at work in garden. There are not
many men who spend their entire lives
In a single occupation and still less
who work fifty years for one family.

Waterfowl Pond.

Many a city or village boy scout who
makes an occasional trip into the coun
try and has an enjoyable experience
at some pond side, regrets that he lives
so far from that pond. 1t may not
have occurred to him that he can make
a miniature pond in his back yard in
the city, says Edward E. Bigelow, In
Boys Life.
Sometime ago was talking with the
owner Of an estate on which was q
lake exclusively for his graceful bu,
expensive waterfowls. In the course
of our conversation he said: "Many
persons come here processing admira'
ton for my lake or waterfowl. They
tell me that they love such things, but
they are not sincere. What they are
admiring is the wealth that enables
me to have this extensive equipment
But l began in a small way, and any.
one who really loves waterfowl and
has little back yard can have at least
a mother duck and brood Of duck
lings."
He summed up his philosophic ad.
vice with this remark: eff you can.
not get a lake with waterfowl, get O
tub and goose"

When, few months ago, one of our
troop ships was torpedoed there were.
of course, many worried mothers. One
of them received a cable message tell
ing her of her sons rescue, and was
naturally much relieved. But this cable
was followed almost Immediately by
another asking for money by cable.
The mother Of this lad was rather
puzzled by the message, as she could
not tell If it was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending com
paratively large amount of money to
an imposter. so she hit on the plan
of sending q return message asking
the sender Of the first cable TO cable
the name of the family's two dogs ;
names which would only be known to
a member of the family.
The answer with the right names
came at once, and the son received
the money. He has been Boosting of
his mothers cleverness ever since.

CHURCHES NOT HARD TO FILL
Religious Edlfices In Hngiand Where
the Congregations Are Of Neces-
sity Rather Small.

TheN are many churches that at
tract attention by their size and grand
eur. There are q few that are remark
able by reason Of their smallness and
simplicity. One Of these is at Lulling-
ton, Sussex, England.
1t is a primitive and quaint stone
building with a roof Of red tiles and a
tiny weatherboarded turret at it's west
end. This miniature church is only 10
feet square.
Its pulpit is a pew with paneled
sides and door and the furniture is of
the plainest. Five narrow, diamond
PANIED windows give light to the inte-
rior. When the church is full 30 per-
sons are gathered together.
Only little larger is the meeting
house at Crawshawbooth, a village
near Burnley. It is known as the
Friends meeting house and is covered
with ivy and surrounded by we'll
cared-for burial ground. Inside may
be seen half dozen oak benches that
could, If necessary, accommodate &c
persons. The attendance is rarely more
| than SIX.
Somewhat smaller than this chapel
Is one that has been called the shrine
of Quakerism. It is In the hamlet Of
Jordans, IN Buckinghamshire. Thithei
In June Of each year come Quaker:

Of william Penn. II this were no
enough TO make the place interesting

hand, if the first so concerts fell short
of Barnum's expectations, she could
have half Of the gross receipts from

the concerts began, however, that con-

Proper Way to Keen Honey.

In selling honey as a substitute for
sugar the retail grocer and his Gus
toners may encounter some difficulty
through lack Of knowledge of storing
and handling this product, according
to American Food Journal. House
wives usually put their honey in the
cellar for safekeeping, probably the
worst possible place, as honey absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and
will become thin and In time sour.
Comb honey kept In damp place will
be hurt In appearance as well as in
quality, a practicable rule Is to keep
honey in any place where salt remains
dry. If honey has granulated or can
died, put the can containing 1t in a
large vessel holding water no hotter
than the hand can be borne In. If
the water is too hot, there is danger
Of spelling the color and running the
flavor Of the honey. The can of honey
should be supported on a block of
wood In the vessel of water, so that
the heat from the stove will not be
too intense.

EASY TO BLAME "OVERWORK''
But According to Physician Few Real
iy Suffer Because They Try
to Do Too Much.

A doctor Of very wide experience has
noted this phenomenon: every day
men come to him, broken down in
health; and almost invariably they
inform him that the cause is "over-
work."
Yet. on further questioning, this
doctor finds that virtually none of his
patients work as hard as he does. Yet
he is we'll and they are sick; he is
strong and able TO do his work without
exhaustion, and they can do little or
no work any more.
This Is HIS deduction: that their
breakdown was not due to work, but
to terrible load of psychological and
physiological habits they had been
carrying-a load so great that a very
little work In addition overtaxed their
waning strength.
What are these habits? They vary
with the individual, and their aspects
are innumerable.
Work-just plain, wholesome hard
work. either physical or mental-hurts
very little. 1t hurts healthy people
people who are healthy in mind and
body-not at all.
What many people call "overwork"
Is fretting over their work-worry.
What many other people call "over-
work" is loading their system with
poison by observation-disclosures.

INSECT POWDER GROWN HERE
Americans Lost No Time In Devei-
oping Industry Once the Secret
Was Discovered.

In our grandfathers' day the so
called Persian insect powder (com.

of "TrJrethrum'') cost $16 pound.
Pretty dear for bug-hller.
The stuff was q mystery. Beyond
the fact that it was Of vegetable ma
ture, nobody knew what 1t was.
AS a matter Of fact, 1t came from
Transcaucasia, where its production
was a very important industry. For
centuries it had been widely used in
Asiatic countries, and the source Of
the material was a secret carefully
kept.
Eventually the secret was revealed
by an Armenian merchant, who, trav.

Later on, attempts were made to In

circumstance that the persons from
whom they were bought had baked
them.
At the present time we grow all ouI

EVIDENCE OF LITTLE WORTH
Eligibility Of shakespeare's Signature
Does Not Prove He Did Not
Write the immortal Plays.

Some years ago, when the Shakes
peare controversy was at its height,
one of the contentious of the party
who declared that the bard not only
had not written the immortal plays
but could not even write his own
name, gave as evidence the existing
signatures that are Of undoubted au-
thenticity.
On the same grounds 1t might be
argued that Richard III was unable
to write, If one decided the matter
from the signature to a treaty OF
peace with Francis, Duke Of Brittany,
which is reproduced In q London deal
er's catalogue just received.
1t Is mystery how the cataloguer
managed to make Richard Rex" out
of the shaky scribble which is there
reproduced. 1t would be quite as like
ly to stand for Will Shakespeare, were
it not that the smaller word stands
second and the longer one first.

FIRST USE OF GAS IN WAR
In Crude Form That Weapon Was
Employed Centuries Before the
Coming of Christ.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare Is recorded In the his
tory of the Peloponnesian wars from
43l 4O4 B. G. During this struggle
between the Athenians and Spartans
and their respective allies the cities Of
Palatea and Delium were besieged.
( Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities In order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes,
which would stupefy the defenders
and make the task of attacking forces
less difficult. Another form of the
same method OF attack used about this
date was to fill caldron with molten
pitch. sulphur and burning charcoal
and to blow the fumes with the aid OF
a primitive form of bellows and air.
