 In the opening stages of the case Attorney Darbie- demurredI the com plaint in the case, because the com plaint did not allege that Miss War dell was the possessor of teacher's s certificate This demurrer was argued befort Judge Reed in the superior court at WiIlimantic on May IT, but Judge Reeds decision has just been handed down.

Scarcity of Coal and to
Save Expense Should BE
Kept in Mind This Winter

From all reports, coal will be as hard
to get this winter as it was last. For
this reason, as well as for the reason
of cutting down expenses, it should De
known in every household how coei
NAV be saved. Following the old adage
that .sit's never too early to begin,
this information may be acquired right
now as a sort of stitch in time.
In the first place, keep your stove'
fiues, pots and pans free from SCOT.
Anything SCOT covered requires a long
time to heat.
If the fireplace in your kitchen Is
very large, fill it in with firebricks,
clay balls or Jumps of chalk.
Mix coal dust with clay and saw
dust, form into balls, let dry a few
days and use for banking up the kitch-
en- fire. Burn coke and coal mixed.
Heat the oven once or twice a week
only, not daily. Once it is heated 1t Is
just as easy to make three or four
cakes or pies as one.

Students Of Flight of
Birds Give Gull Title
of master of the Air"

A student Of the fight of birds is
inclined to give the title of master of
the air" to the gull, which often fol-
lows a ship at sea and lives on the
scraps thrown from the galley. No
other bird, he says, performs such
seemingly impossible feats of flight or
looks so completely at home in the air.
Sometimes, by the perfect adjustment
of their bodies, the gulls will poise on
outstretched wings and appear to defy
the laws of gravitation by remaining
perfectly motionless; or, again, they
may be seen moving without single
visible effort, straight against a gale
of wind. Their flight is altogether
different from that of the Caspian tern,
which is as graceful as it is unusual.
unlike that OF any other birds, wheth-
er of sea or land" says some one who
has watched the terms, sit reminds one
little of the high, apparently uncer-
tain flight of large-winged butterfly;
and it is in perfect harmony with the
idea Of a being where life is spent
amid wind and mist and fuctuating
wave"

Wasps Are Wise and Vain;
Know All About Aviation;
Keen on Air Resistance

Who would be wasp? The bees get
all the credit But our affection for
bees is largely cupboard love- due to
the honey they provide us with, and
the wasp has virtues which few people
trouble to recognize.
Wasps are wise, declares a writer in
London Answers. It is doubtful
whether any action in a beehive is
more sagacious than the action of a
wasp when he has killed a bluebottle,
and is faced with the problem of car.
Tying him home. He carefully cuts off
the legs and wings, leaving the body of
its victim quite compact.
Why does he do this? To save weight
when flying home with the booty? Not
at all. The wasp knows all about avia-
ton, and he gets rid of the legs and
wings of the bluebottle to reduce air
resistance!
WaSpS are strong as we'll as wise.
They can carry a weight equaling 40
bluebottles. They are also more friend
ly than one imagines, rarely singing
without good cause. But they are
vain, for yellow and black are their
favorite colors. And, when all is said
and done, they are a nuisance!

There Are 246 Bones and
sgt Muscles From Tip to
Toes of the Human Body

Do you know how many bones you
have? Probably not for we have such
little curiosity about ourselves and our
composition that we generally know
very little beyond what we can see,
remarks a writer in London Answers.
You possess 246 bones from tip to
toe. They are distributed about you
as follows:
Your ears have 6 (3) each. Your
head has 8. Your face has IA and your
teeth comprise g. Your backbone,
with its base, has &c bones and so mas
the area of your expansive chest.
Your legs and feet have 62, your
arms and hands "a.
The grand total is reached by the
addition of small movable bones.
There are more muscles in your BODY
than bones. They number 527.
If YOU are curious for further knowl-
edge regarding your bones you Will be
interested to know their composition.
They include phosphate of lime, car

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Those who have green crops such
as wheat, oats, rye and barley for
their fowls are fortunate. There will
be times during the winter when these
crops will do the fowls much good.
But where for any reason no green
crops are available oats may be
sprouted to provide green feed for the
fowls.
A good way to do this is to get a
few boxes that may be easily handled.
Fill the boxes with garden loan soil
and put in the barn, cellar or clubhouse
where there is ventilation. Moisten
the soil and SOW oats in these boxes.
The seed may be planted very thick,
as it will be best to set the box out
and let the chickens have access to
them as soon as the plants are an
inch or more above the ground. An
other sowing may then be made in the
box.
In this way the fowls may have
enough green food to give, them a
good appetite and keep them in fine
health and vigOr. 1t is very difficult
matter to keep hens in good laying
condition during the winter without
green food. The best way is to sow
green crops. If this has not been done,
then oats may be sprouted as has been
suggested.

We also sent circulars to the people

pfIOne books. AS a result of this cam
paign we sold less than 600 bushels,

she has little faith.

that was not all. Even there was to
be found the middleman; the Bible
calls him by a more characteristic

Ingredients Required for

Apple butter is generally made with
cider, but this can be left out if de-
sired. Four quarts of sterilized sweet
cider should be boiled down to two
quarts. To this add four quarts of

pieces. If the texture of the ap-
pies is coarse they should be boiled
