How in the world did you manage

The Lotus Festival.

1t was a hot summer night, and all
the shop windows were bright with
lanterns shaped like the lotus buds in
the big moat. The moon rose high over
the curving Picking roofs and flooded
the streets AS if the moon had
brought him, a child came timidly
forth from one of the big, dark gate
ways. In his hands he held a brilliant
lotus bud and q lotus-bud lantern.
Then from every gateway, all up and
down the streets, the children came
forth The air was filled with the mu-
sic of their happy voices, and there
was the sound of their little feet going
pitapat in the dust.
Soon the streets were childhood's
land full of color, sound and happi-
ness Still the children came, rich and
poor-children in silk garments of
bright colors, children in rags, and lit
tie, naked brown children, all carry
ing the lotus bud and the lotus-bud Ian
terms, which threw soft lights up into
their happy, childish faces. Ever the
crowd of breathless, joyous children
and lovely flowers increased.
For brief, joyous hour. like fairy
elves, the children frOlicked. Then the
candles burned low in the lanterns, and
one by one went out. AS quickly as
they came, the children vanished. The
streets were again silent and gloomy.

Is DID," by Alice Tisdale.

are many communities in various parts
of the country which would be greatly
benefited by such associations.
Wherever these associations have
been formed an appreciate saving to
the farmer has resulted. The profit
that formerly went to the local ship

has the satisfaction of knowing that
he will receive for his stock the actual

is taken of cool weather to kill and

the dressed carcasses must be sold on

at any price obtainable. An example,
which is only one of many, was OBJ

during the winter of 1896 where
each time the weather became cooler
eight or ten dressed hogs were offered
for sale when there was a demand for
one or two. Such a method is, of

WHEN FEAsTING WAS REAL
How Many Can Remember the "Sec-
ond Dinner" of the Good Old
Holiday Times7

Ailusion was made in an interesting
article prii ted in Courant, describing
an old-time Thanksgiving feast. to the
second dinner of the day served on
tnat feast at the home of every well-to-
do farmer. This allusion was especially
happy, inasmuch as in the past scant
justice has been done to that meal
which was by no means an unimportant
feature of the day, for it tested ones
capacity as it cannot be In these days
when the door of the larder is guard
ed by not less than 10 food directors
or administrators.
1t will be remembered that the first
meal was served not far from two
O'Clock in the afternoon, when each
person was supposed to eat as on no
other occasion in the year, yet by five
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
lamps were lighted, the table was
again spread and the household with
its kinsfolk and relations and the
stranger within the gates, if such there
was. was expected to fall to with as
two or three hours earlier. That they
did not have such appetites was due
solely to the weakness of the flesh, for
the spirit was willing.
All the meats which figured at the
first meal were displayed for the sec
ond, and pies, the very twins of those
that had gone before, were on the
table and, in addition. were various
loaves of cake, actual loaf cake, very
durable article of food and, worst of
all, each person was expected TO eat
heartily lest the housewife should feel
that her work had not come up to its
usual standard of excellence. 1t was
a frightful ordeal.
For the Episcopalians this ordeal
was repeated on Christmas day, while
most of the Congregationalists waited
until New Years day, not wishing to
lend color to anything approaching an
observance of Christmas, but with
these holidays out of the way the
feasting Of the year was over. For
the young people of this year those
great days never existed and never
will exist, for the era of abundant and
cheap food is definitely past, but with
the older ones that memory of the i'm
posing second dinner is bound to
linger. When it existed as a fact it
made thoughts of UgOlinO, gnawing the
skull of his enemy, of the starving
men in the prison pen at AndersOnville
and of the fate of arctic explorers
positively enviable. But those days
are with the SHOWS of yester-year; we
have now dainty dishes, fine service,
music of a sort, and flowers if we can
pay for them, but very little actual
food.-Hartford Courant.

A GAUGE.

Miss Elsie DeWOlfe was talking at
the New York Colony club about youth.
"You can judge peoples intelli-
gence,'' she said, "by their attitude to-
wards youth. l once heard a con-
versation between two old maids, the
one intelligent, and the other stupid.
AS they sat in the winter garden
of their Florida hotel after dinner,
the stupid old maid said:
"LOOk at those young men and
girls flirting under the date palms in
the moonlight. Why should young
people make such fools of them
selves"
"'Maybe,' said the intelligent old
maid. it's because they have the
chance"

Two Kinds of Markets.

Different types of farmers
markets attract different groups
of farmers.
The truck grower likes to haul
full loads and make quick sales
in large lots-his time is more
valuable on his farm than in
acting as his own salesman in
disposing of his load in small
quantities to the consumer.
Retail farmers markets ap-
peal to farmers who raise fruit
and vegetables only as a side
line-they, or members of their
families, often can spare the
time it takes to sell small lots
direct to the housewife.
The location of the farmers
retail market is important. 1t
must be in a place easily reached
by large numbers of consumers.
Mixed wholesale and retail
markets may prove unsatisfac-
tory unless hours for selling are
regulated so that there will be
no conflict, and different groups
of producers will be encouraged
to come in at different times, ac-
cording to whether they sell in
large or small lots.
