CHOPPING UP NEW ENGLAND
Famous Landmarks of the Early Days
CT the Nation Are Succumb-
ing to Progress"

Little by little the old mansions
that gave New England towns a
physiognomy, so to speak, of their
own are going the way of all things
that have lost utility. AS an instance
of what is happening, it is noticed that
in Pi-tstield, Mass, a house of many
chambers is being sawed in two, its
sections to be moved and transformed
into up-to-date apartments.
The chopping process has been 60
ing on so long the wonder is New
England looks at all as one feels 1T
ought to look. Only sixteen years
after the Salem merchant Elias Has
kett Derby, in 1893, built his ex-
pensive dwelling it was torn down
because nobody could afford to live
in it.
Fortunately many of Salem's brick
and wood reminders of her spacious
days have survived inviolate, to the
delight Of every visitor whose tastes
are antiquarian. Parts of old New
bGrypOrt, Portsmouth and a few
other cities and villages are similar
ly embalmed. But the old houses, as
the families that own and cherish
them disintegrate, will come on the
market and go for a song to prac-
tical-minded wreckers and builders.
Not few of the country houses
will have longer lease of life
Architects have done no happier work
than in refurbishing, without undue
violence to the lines of the original
structure, Old-fashiOned, classically

city dwellers have chosen for their

England Antiquities has already saved
a dozen houses and is adding to the

NANCY'S STORY

Eyes, I know" said Daddy, 81
promised Nancy 1 would tell her about
the dolls l saw in the Old Natural
History Museum in Washington the
other day."
81 hope, Daddy" said Nick. "you
found fine to do a little business too,
for you certainly found time to see
things TO tell us about"
"Yes," laughed Daddy, 81 managed
to squeeze in a little time for business
too, but there were many things l
knew I'd want to tell You about and
so saw all of them I could.
"There were many old and wonder
full costuRes. and 1 could just picture
to myself how Nancy would love dress
ing up in the very quaint and very
old dresses and hats and shawls and
capes.
"Figures wore these wonderful
costumes and then there were some
costumes which were just shown off
without being on figures. They had
dresses such as people would wear
to balls and receptions or to business
or for every day during the different
years when the styles were different,
Just as the styles change now all the
time.
"Of course, Nick, you and I aren't
supposed to know so much about this.
But Nancy does! For ] heard her

say the other day that she wanted to
own some special kind of a tam be-
cause it was fashionable"
"Oh Daddy" said Nancy, "you
shouldn't listen to such things!"
"Well," said Daddy, "Tm sure the
new tam will be very becoming as
I've also heard you're going to have
it.
"But to return to the dresses and
costumes l want to tell you about.
mot only did they show dresses
and costumes and suits such as were
worn in the days of our grandmothers
and great grandmothers and great,
great grandmothers and grandfathers,
but they had dolls which belonged to
the people long ago.
"Fancy that! There were dolls
which belonged to the great-grand-
daughter of Major Bradford, who was
an aide-de-camp to Washington.
"There were dolls and toys which be-
longed to children at different periods
of time, years ago.
"Some of the dolls had blue eyes,
and some had brown eyes. Many Of
them wore real lace and looked very
fine and wonderful.
"There were some toys too, and
there were some sets of dolls china
which didn't look unlike the china
Nancy owns.
"There were many dolls and toys
which belonged to children in 1870.
$50 that any little girl whoever goes
to Washington should go and see the
dolls which used to be played with
many years ago.
"But Nick, have something to tell
you, too, this evening. There are boats
of all kinds in this building too, and
automobiles.
Boats just like the very first boats
of all are there, and every kind of a
boat made since is there too.
"An automobile like the first auto
mobile is in this building and ones
which look like the different kinds of
automobiles that there have been
since.
$50 any boy who goes to Washington
would be much interested in the boats
and in the automobiles and shouldn't
miss going into the Old Museum.
"Nancy might like to see the lovely
laces and the beautiful bags, the
dresses, and the dolls. but there is
plenty for boy to see there too"
"Some time We'll have to go and
see them," said Nancy.
'T'll add that TO my list" said Nick
"And when start travelling I'll never
be able to stop for 1 have so much
l want to see! ~
$50 have most of u.s." said Daddy
"but in the meantime the best thing
to do is to hear of interesting place:
we can't see.
"And even though we may never
travel much there are so many things
about us to see too, and our friends
the birds and the animals about art
always doing new and interesting
tricks for us to watch and enjOy!"

Electric Cannon,

A. great variety of electric cannon,
based upon electromagnetic principles,
ejecting Il steel shell through one or
more sOlenoids, have been developed
from time to time but with no prac-
teal results. A French engineer,
FauchOn-Villeplee, has worked out a
new type of electric cannon which is
described in Revue Generate de
FElectricite. The basic principle of
the new gun is the fact that a cur
rent-carrying movable conductor will
travel across a strong magnetic field.
The author built during the war a
model of such gun, which shot 90
gram prOiectile at a muzzle velocity
of 200 meters, piercing easily large
hardwood block. The author directs
attention to the fact that because the
gun windings are used for only a
fraction of second, enormous
amounts of current may be used-of
the order of 100000 amperes and
overland supplied by a fywheel
dynamo or a storage battery.-Scien-
tific American.

Wasn't That He Was Afraid.

A Colonial bishop, who was on
voyage to his diocese encountered
very severe storm. The passengers
were greatly alarmed, and so, too,
was the bishop, who hastily convened
a prayer meeting in the saloon.
When the storm had abated the
skipper of the liner chaffed the bishop
regarding the matter.
81 should have thought" he said,
"that anyone so keen as your lord
ship to get to heaven would not have
been afraid of a storm"
Hang it all.' retorted the bishop,
"you don't think l want to go to
heaven by water, do you?"-LondOn

Or. c. C. Booth. John II. Chase and
T. G. Beede, well-known local astron-
omers. have announced their belief in
the discovery of life on the moon,
hitherto regarded as a void planet.
Mr. Beede operates one of the largest
telescopes in Ohio. All three are
recognized observers.
I'VE found a beautiful fleecy effect
from one mountain to another" said
MIR. Chase, "and agreed that one of
the mountains we had seen was
Arfstarohs, from which a cloud ex-
tended to Herodotus. We. found
AristarOhs to be mountain that
glitters and is composed probably Of

FEEBLE BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan Makes
Red Blood; Liquid and
Tablet Form.

When blood becomes thin and weak
1t is due to a falling off in the number
of red blood cells. 1t is easily recog-
nized by pallid skin or a blemished
complexion, loss of appetite or unnat-
ural irritability and a sensation OF
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at first.
In fact, many people scarcely notice it
and go on for days, thinking they will
be better the next day.
The great danger is in the possibility
of becoming seriously i'll from disease.
which can work havoc in body that
lacks the endurance and resistance in
rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto-Mangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality Of
the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve the
appetite, and clear the complexion.

STYLES AND FANCIES

The fitted basque and wide skirt
are frequently made of taffeta.
Sphinx, gunmetal, platinum and
steel gray are very strong.
Low heels are gaining in favor, not
only sport, but also dress slippers hav-
ing them.
Shell and metal ornaments, shaped
like Spanish combs, are used for hat
trimmings.
For the street, lightweight serges,
trfcotines and the new weaves of duve-
tyn are seen.
Velvet brocaded chiffons in shades
of brown or henna tones and cafe du
lait and cocoa cOlors are smart for
fnll gowns.
Crepe shawls, deeply fringed, are
dyed either black or red, and have
become as popular as the gay multi.

Gloves of black will lead for fall
wear. Most of these gloves show a
touch of white in the black stitching

In Outdoor Suits
Much Attention Paid to Riding
and Golf Clothes.
Costumes Are Particularly Well De-
signed for Sport Wear; Wide
Scarf Arrangement

A great deal of attention is being
paid TO the l1nickerbocker golf or hik-
ing suit this season. The peg top
breeches in both riding and golf suits
are less popular than the smoothly
fitting models and in the cuff treat

too, has been eliminated by a series
of small cores that are used rather
than the shirring. Shorter coats, too,
are used, cited as proving that women
are becoming accustomed to this type
of costume.
In addition to the suit with plated
or elastic back coat in the prevailing
type, suits have been noted consisting
of knickerbOckers in large two-toned
Oyer-plaid fleeces to be worn with a
slipover jumper in solid tone This
type of costume is particularly well
adapted for winter sports and the
wide scarf arrangement at the throat
is a feature which cOmmends it.
There is a demand for suits with
riding breeches, and skirts to match
are ordered. In this way a woman
who rides great deal may also use
the breeches for hiking and golf.

soon resumed their normal appear
ance, with fair egg production.
However, the egg yield was not
greater than that from check pens
without the yeast. Thereafter three per
cent of yeast which was air and SUM-
dried and fed in a ground condition
was used in the mash without any
perceptible increase in egg production.
These tests in the feeding of yeast
were not conducted on very exten-
sive scale, not long enough to deter
mine thoroughly its value. The re-
suits were not promising and unless
some better method of feeding the
yeast is found this product is not
likely to be of much value for laying
hens.

TO TRIM AFTERNOON DRESSES
Tuckings Afford Winscme Decoration,
Running From Neck to Below
Natural WaistIine.

Fine tuckings are liked for trim
ming on afternoon dresses. A frock
may, for instance, have the front of
its bodice tucked, the tucks running
from the neck to a line below the
natural waistline, wide band of the
tuckfng may trim the sleeves and per-
haps the side panels or a panel of
the tucking may be ut the frock front
and another at the back. Loops of
ribbon form one of the newest trim
ming features. A frock recently noted
had its jacket fronts trimmed at the
edge with ribbon loops. Similar loops
trimmed the lower part of the long
sleeves.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Can you judge sheep? If you can,
you are somewhat above the ordinary
run of stock raiser, because of all
farm animals, in the estimate of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the sheep is the most difficult to
appraise accurately.
With horses, cattle, swine, or poultry
the eye will tell much as to the quail
ity for any purpose desired, and by
seeing the animals constantly the
breeder or handler learns to estimate
their worth, point by point. But
sheep with full fleece is, like certain
members of the human race, artfully
dressed-its clothing may conceal de-
fects that make it absolutely undesir-
able, or at least detract from It's worth.
Sheep Judging Requires Study.
Nevertheless, sheep judging is pos
sible TO anyone who will give it study
and practice and the eye is an i'm
portant agent, although it must be as
sisted by a careful inspection with
the hand.
Any sheep raiser who desires to i'm
prove his flock can profit by attending
the next county or state fair and fol-
lowing the judges as they go through
the sheep pens. If the judges will per-
NIT one to try his hand and check up
against their findings, it will be much
better. A good score card is essential,
and one is contained In Farmers Bull
letin 1199, Judging Sheep" sent on
request by the department.
The experienced judge may not ap-
pear to spend any time looking at the
sheep before he starts the hand in
spection; but as a matter of fact, his
practiced eye takes in the entire con-
tour, build, and bearing. The student
judge should stand away and careful
ly view the animal from the front,
side, and rear.
The score card allows 25 out of 100
normal weight counts 5; form is given
10, the specifications being straight
top and under line, deep, broad, low
set for breed, compact, well proper
toned.
! Under quality" to which another
10 is assigned, the scord card specifies:
Hair, fine; bone, fine, but strong; feat
ures, fine, but not delicate; skin pink.
After the sheep has been inspected
from distance, one should check up
his observations by going over the
animals body with the hand, keeping
in mind the first impressions. Prac-
tice is necessary to get the correct
touch. Pounding and clawing are out
of order. Do not muss the fleece If
the animal has been prepared for ex-
hibition.
The score card allows II points for
condition, comprising an even, deep,

shoulder and brisket, thick covering
over top Of shouldres, back, rib, and
thick dock.
Points Noted in Judging.
Head and neck are given nine points,
Of which five go for head with clean
cut, strong mouth, thin lips, large nos
trils, large, clear eyes, alert look, short
face, broad forehead, alert and we'll
spaced ears. Four points are given
to a neck short, thick and smoothly
joined to the shoulder.
Ten points are assigned to the fore
quarters of which eight may be given
to the shoulders. They should be COM
pact on top, smoothly Joined with neck
and body, and well covered with flesh.
One point goes to a full, well-rounded,
and well-extended brisket, and one to
straight, short legs, set well apart.
The body may count IS points-two
for deep, wide, full chest; four for
ribs well sprung, close, and thickly
covered; six for straight, broad back,
thickly and evenly covered with flesh;
six for wide, thick loin, well covered.
Seventeen points are given to perfect
hind quarters. Level, smooth hips,
wide apart, count one; long, level, wide
rump, thick at dock, four; full, deep,
wide thighs, four; deep, firm, plump
twist, joined well down on leg. five;
straight, short legs, wide apart, one.
The udder in ewes or the scrOtum in
rams counts two if well formed.
Nine points are given to wool-three
for quantity, three for quality, and
three for condition.
After practice in score-card judging
comparing the exhibited animal with
an ideal, for it takes a good animal
to score 75 and choice animal to
be marked 9O-one is ready to judge
by comparing animals one with anoth-
er. Keep in mind the standard they
should approach, and appraise them
against one another, point by point,
following the same systematic method
as with the score card.
1t is important to be able to tell
the approximate age of a sheep by the
teeth. Lambs have full set of baby
or "milk" teeth soon after birth. At
from twelve to fourteen months two
permanent teeth appear at the center /;
two more, adjoining, at from twenty
two to twenty-four months; third
pair at thirty-four to thirty-six months /;
and the full set at fOrty-six to forty
eight months. From then on only an
estimate can be made. AS the sheep
grows older the teeth gradually spread
and become shorter with wear. Still
later, sheep gradually lose their teeth.
A broken-mouth sheep has difficulty in
eating and should not be kept In the
flock.

WATER SPREADS CORN BoRER
Number Of Specimens Recently Found
on Island in Lake Erie Many
Miles From Shore.

EntomolOgists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture combating
the European corn borer have found
on various occasions that water is not
a complete barrier to the spread Of the
pest. A number of specimens were
recently found on Middle Bass island,
in the western part of Lake Erie,
several miles from either shore. They
are uncertain whether worms flOated
to the island on cornstalks from an
infested portion of Ontario or whether
the flight was made by the grown in
sects.
Last year living corn worms we're
found on an island several miles off
the coast of Massachusetts.

USE RIBBON ON FALL HATS
Embossed Strands of ScaIy Design Are
Given Gre Finish and Provide
Winsome Models.

A novelty ribbon which can be used
effectively on fall hats is that en-
bossed in a scaly design and given a
cire finish. It suggests the "snake-
skin" and alligator" ribbons of last
season, and, according to the Bulletin
of the Retail Millinery Association of
America, proves effective in the vari-
Gus shades of brown embossed with
either a lighter or darker hue, and a
dull shade of red marked off with
black. A manufacturer using this
embossed ribbon has made his hats in
a variety of shapes, but the off-the-
face model and medium saiIor with
flaring brim are the most evident.
Small turbans of bands of the ribbon
criss-crossed in and out to make a
round crown and soft cuff brims are
also shown.
