Serbian Families, Once
Rich, Now Make Homes in
Barns and Chicken Coops

In northern Serbia many families
wealthy before the war, have been
found by officers of the American Re-
lief administration and the American
Red Cross living in stables and chicken
coops.
Their homes had been destroyed by
the advancing or retreating armies.
Now their beds were heaps Of straw
covered with burlap. 1t was all that
remained as furniture in their once
pretentious estates. Penniless and
with no clothing except what they
wore. these people returned in pitiable
condition. Many Of the refugees made
their way across Serbia in makeshift
garments of burlap bags, which had
contained American food sent to re-
lieve their hunger.
The condition Of the Serbian peas
ants is beyond description. A large
proportion are homeless. Most fam
ilies have been deprived Of their wage
earners by death. The mother Is now
obliged to support herself and chill
dren on what she can procure on a
farm stripped Of its machinery and
tools.

Holland Most Systematic
in Cultivation of Oysters

In the industry represented by oy-
ster cultivation Holland is the most
systematic in its operations and en-
ploys more elaborate methods than any
other country in the world. The pu-
merous sounds that indent the coast of
Holland, particularly In the region of
the River Scheldt. afford excellent ia
cilities for the propagation of the oy-
ster and enable the country to conduct
the most successful oyster industry In
Europe. Public dredging is not permit
ted. as the result Of that system was
the threatened exhaustion Of the fish
cries, and the beds have been carefully
surveyed and specific tracts are leased
to individuals and companies who are
thus enabled to conduct the propaga-
tion Of the oyster In systematic man.

Saving Of Fuel to Light
Coal Stove Fire at Top

Although coal fire always burns
better, especially at the start, when
lighted from the bottom, 1t has been
found TO be much more economical OF
coal If the paper and kindling wood are
placed above the coal, says Popular
Mechanics. A few small Goals and
cinders are spread over the top Of the
kindling wood to enable coal fire to
be started. After the top layer begins
TO burn properly the fire will spread
slowly downward II the air draft is
right. This method secures the most
complete combustion because the gases
from the unburned coal at the bottom
must pass through the burning layer
at the top, and thus become completely
burned. 1t is admittedly harder to
build and control this kind Of fire,
but the saving in fuel often justifies
the extra trouble.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

For years it was contended by au-
thorities that 1t was useless even to
use nest eggs as attractions to hens,
that biddy, like the COW. could not be
deceived. The non-professional for in
stance, rigidly adhered to the old-tlme
Idea that nest eggs were requisite.
Prof. George NJ. Turpin, of Iowa Uni
versity, in bulletin called the "Nest-
Ing Habits of Hens" gives prominent
place to the use of Nest Eggs" He
starts out with the statement that no
data had been established as to
whether the nest egg influenced biddy
or not. He made a careful test, placing
40 hens in house and prepared 16
nests for them, some with China eggs,
others hen product, and others again
with no nest eggs. The result of bid
dy's choice was pa fresh eggs in the
China bait, 200 in the natural attrac-
ton and los in the nests with no cam
outage. showing .35, AT, and IT per
cent respectively. The conclusion is
that hens like nest eggs and prefer the
natural one.

RETAINING FLAVOR IN MEAT
Sometimes Partially Accomplished by
Soaring Exterior, Preventing
Escape Of Juices.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t is extremely difficult to retain the
flavor-giving qualities in a piece of
meat so tough as to require prolonged
cooking. 1t Is sometimes partially ac-
complished by first soaring the ex.
terlor of the meat and thus preventing
the escape of the juices. Another way
is to let them escape into the gravy
which Is served with the meat itself,
illustrated in the following recipe for
round steak on biscuits:
Cut round steak into pieces about
one-half inch square, cover with water
and cook ut a temperature Just below
the boiling point until 1t is tender, or
boil for Ave minutes, and while still
hot put into fireless cooker nnd leave
1t for five hours. Thicken the gravy
with -four mixed with water, allowing
two level tablespoonfuls to a cup of
water. Pour the meat and gravy over
split baking-powder biscuits, SO baked
that they have large amount Of

Persia First Country
to Discover the Secret
of Aromatic Substances

The first nation to learn the secret
Of aromatic substances was Persia,
says London Tit-Bits. The priests Of
Egypt were the only people who
studied science at that time. and
Egyptian perfumes achieved great
celebrity. especially those made in
Alexandria.
! Reserved originally for religious
rites, perfumes subsequently became
of current use among the wealthy
classes. During banquets they were
diffused through the halls and were
burned in profusion.
The Israelites during their sojOurn
in Egypt adopted the use of aromatic
substances. primarily for religious
purposes and afterward for personal
usage. The Jews were fond Of cos
metics and even used them to paint
the face.
All these perfumes were extracted
from essences of trees and various
plants. The Greeks. who loved ele'
gance, were especially addicted to the
use of perfumes, and they taught Their
secrets and usage to the Romans. The
latter, in the days of their decadence
went so far as to scent the coats OF
their dogs.
In the middle ages the Arabs, Vene
tians, Genoese and Florentines be
came farIous for the preparation OF
sweet smelling essences.

Origin Of Jury System
Attributed to Peoples
of European Countries

The exact origin Of the jury system
is not known with certainty, it having
been attributed to different European
peoples which at an early period de-
vel0ped methods Of trial somewhat
similar to the early jury trials in Eng
land. Trial by battle was cast in the
background by the Norman conquer
ors when the Norman institution of
recognition by sworn inquest was
adopted. The Curia Regis, or Kings
court, directed the sheriff to select
four knights of the county by whom
IL knights were selected to serve as
recognitors. After being duly sworn
they inquired into the facts Of inter-
est to the new rulers of England which
might be subject to public inquiry,
such as matters affecting taxation.
Suitors in cases affecting the title
of real estate, as early as the reign
Of Henry II, 1854 to 1889, applied to
the kings court for recognitors whose
verdict, IL unanimous, was accepted
as conclusive.
Originally the jury was selected be-
cause of their knowledge Of the peo-
pie, locality and customs and thereby
passing upon the facts from more
intimate knowledge Of them. During
the reign of Henry Nv, the jury was
instructed to Judge the facts upon the
evidence submitted to 1t, which is the
single function Of the jury of modern
practice.-Kansas City Star.

One Of the fairies had been sent by

Then the fairy queen would whisper
the stories to Daddy before he told
Nick and Nancy his evening tale.
This was the story one of the little
creatures told to the fairy who
was on this trip for the fairy queen.

fairy, rs she saw a quite new kind of
