ABOUT YOUR BOARD.

How many things, both just and un-
Just. are sanctioned by custom!-Terence.
TN DAYS long, long gone by the
1 head of a large and important
family sat on raised dais at meals,
with members of his immediate fam
lily and specially honored guests.
Others sat at table on the floor OF
the room, the least important guests
or retainers sitting at the greatest
distance from the host. Even in our
colonial days 1t was customary TO
have a huge salt cellar In the center
of the table and the older and more
important personages sat above the
salt cellar toward the host who sat
at the head of the table, while those
less important sat below that point.
With such an arrangement it was
possible TO have almost the entire
household-save for those who were
serving the meal-to sit at the same
time without embarrassment to any
one. Sometimes, in these days, en-
barrasslng questions come up con-
corning the placing of members OF
ones household at the dinner table.
shouldn't the housekeeper be
seated with members of the family
at dinner?'' writes a woman who Is
so employed.
Obviously 1t is not for the house
keeper to decide but for those who
employ her, and II she feels that
not to have meals with the family
Is an act of disrespect to her why,
then, for her own peace of mind she
ought to find employment somewhere
else. In the homes of those who en-
ploy many servants the housekeeper
would not dream Of eating with the
family--on the contrary, her meals
would be served In her own sitting
room. Some governesses do not
usually eat at the family table I'M
less their charges do, and in large
establishments children very often
have their meals served in the day
nursery. If they dine earlier than
their elders, then customarilv the
governess does also. Usually trained
nurses employed In private homes

Bells Heard Eiahteen Miles.

The oral law of the jews, consist
ing of many traditions touching the
Mosaic law, tells that the ancient He
brews employed large bells, which
were called Megeruphita. These were
used on different occasions by the
multitude of temple officers and caused
frequently such noise In the streets
of Jerusalem that II was hard to catch
the words Of a speaker. Their pur-
pose was three-fold: To call the
priests for service, to summon the
Levites to come and sing, and to
apprlse persons generally that the I'M
clean might be brought to the gate
named Nicanor.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Few crops can be utilized In as
great variety of ways as cowpeas,
For centuries they have been grown
for human food in Asia, Africa and In
the Mediterranean region of Europe.
In this country, particularly in the
southern states, the crop Is common.
ly used for this purpose, but its most
important use by far Is in the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for soiling,
hay. silage and pasture. 1t is also of
great value as a green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent of the soil upon which 1t is grown.
These are points brought out in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1853, "Cowpeas: Utiliza-
tion," recently published by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
ton of the crop, but the methods of
growing and harvesting It for each Of
Its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because of the uncer-
tainty of the crop, the expense of har-
vesting and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production II will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
on large scale, especially If the best
machinery for handling the crop Is
used. The seed has a high feeding
value, but is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. 1t can be stored for
a considerable length of time without
much danger of loss of vitality. AS it
Is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil, the seed
produced In southern states should be
placed In cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay Is an excellent forage
for all kinds of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshing the peas for
seed is a valuable stock feed. As a
rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow.
The best quality is produced and the
hay cures most readily II the vines
are cut when most Of the pods are full
grown and a considerable part Of them
matured. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure,
while IL left too late before cutting
there will be an unnecessary loss OF
leaves in handling and the stems will
be tough and woody. The hay is
somewhat difficult to cure, but with

have meals with the family, but some
times it is customary for them to
eat after the family and this Is some
times matter of convenience, as
some member will be free to take
the nurses place at the patients bed
side while she is eating. On ocean
liners nurses in uniform do not eat
at the first table, but have their
meals in the general dining room at
the hours appointed for children and
their nurses. OF course, some young
women resent this, feeling themselves
quite the social equals, possibly the
superiors, of those who employ them.
but, if they have good sense, they
realize that they are suffering no real
indignity and that 1t is the truly
professional spirit to accept condi-
lions as they find them.

The next morning the raindrops
were falling fast on the meadow and
Miss Daisy's upturned face never once
looked toward her lover. She was
drinking the longed-for water and had
no time to notice poor Dan.
The next morning after the rain
everything was SO clean and fresh and
all the flowers were so bright and
happy that Dan again spoke to Miss
Daisy of his love.
"Oh, the world Is so beautiful and
fresh this morning / cannot think of
anything else" replied Miss Daisy as
she fllrted the dewdrops from her
white skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged; he
still waited and hoped for his answer /;
but one morning poor Dan awoke with
a head quite white. He had grown old
with waiting and his long, white locks
fiuttered in the breeze.
Then one day Miss Daisy grew tired
of the beauty around her. She cast
her eye toward her lover and, to her
horror, she saw he was quite bald. Not
even one spear of white hair was
there on his head.
"OhT" exclaimed Miss Daisy. "How
funny you look. Why, you are old Mr..
Dan d. Lion. l could not think Of
marrying you now. GOod-day!"
And that is the reason, so the mead
ow flowers say, that the Dandelion
locks on It's little round head. Long
ago its ancestor waited so long for
Miss Daisy's answer that he grew old
and bald.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
ELDER" AND COLDER"

THE former word, ''elder." should
L be used when one refers to mem
bers of the same family; thus, "My
elder brother left for Europe today"
not, my older brother" But solder"
should be used in referring to mem
bers of another family, and in refer
ring to objects. Thus. say, "He Is
the older of the two brothers." and
''This table Is older than that chair"
not "elder." The same rule is applied
to the words eldest" and "oldest."
one should say, If he has more than
one brother. my eldest brother left
for Europe today" not my oldest
brother" This chair is the oldest Of
the three" not the oldest"
When direct comparison is made
between two persons, use SOLDER" as
in the sentence, "My mother is older
than my father" But when the COM
parison Is not made directly, use this
form: my mother is the elder of my

MoNoGRAMS.

THE origin of monograms is prob
i ably Egyptian; we are certain
that the Greeks and Romans used
these devices. The merchants of the
Middle Ages used cabalistic intertwin-
ings of letters as their distinctive
marks, and the great Charlemagne
used cipher as his signature to con-
ceal his ignorance of writing. The old
time painters and printers also had
their private marks made of their ini-
tials. 1t was not until the Nineteenth
century. however, that monograms be-
rame popular.

attention to the stage of growth and to
weather conditions little more trouble
will be experienced In obtaining we'll
cured cowpea hay than clover or al
falfa hay.
The bulletin recommends that cow
pea hay be substituted In the southern
states for much of the hay now being
purchased from the North and West.
Cowpeas alone have not given good
results as a silage crop. In addition
to the high protein content, the green
vines contain a large proportion Of
water, producing watery silage that
keeps poorly and Is not well relished
by stock. The best silage Is obtained
when this crop Is grown with corn or
sorghum.
Serve Best for Hogs.
Although pasturing cowpeas is not
thought the best farm practice, under
certain conditions 1t Is advisable and
quite profitable. Any kind of live
stock may be pastured on cowpeas,
but hogs are generally used. The best
time for turning the stock on cowpeas
is when the crop has reached the stage
Of maturity thought best for hay.
As soillng crop, the cowpea can
be used advantageously 20 supplement
crops with less protein. such as corn,
sorghum and millet. 1t is used more
as a soil builder than any other legume,
because II is so easily grown, has such
a marked effect upon succeedi..- crops,
and thrives under great diversity
of conditions.
