NO LONGER SLEEPY HOLLOW
Village Made Famous by Washington
Irving Has Changed With the
Progress of Time.


Lovers of the quaint tales Of
Washington Irving that were cen
tered around Sleepy Hollow will re-
member his descriptions of the peo-
pie and the times as were indicative
of the name of the village itself.
They may also be interested in the
Sleepy Hollow of today. Although
the 'Sfat meadow lands, the rich
fields of wheat, of rye, of buckwheat
and Indian corn, and the orchards
burdened with ruddy fruit" are still
to be found, there is distinct
change in the fare offered at the vii
lage inn and It's manner Of being
offered.
In the self-same spot where once
stood Herr Van Tassel's farmhouse
one may yet obtain chicken-chick-
en- la king-and lobster la some
thing else, and forbidden juices in
a teacup, or even partake of his own
hip-pocket highball, if he be so for
tunate as to have one with him when
he draws up in his car to the door
of the iazzy roadhouse that now
adorns the old Dutch homestead.

EARLY DAYS OF TAxIDERMY
the Present-Day Art Probably
Had Its Origin.

Writing in the Worlds Work Carl
Akeley, naturalist and explorer, tells
of his experiences with taxidermy
in the early stages:
/ have notion that the first mu-
scum taxidermist came into exist
ence in about this way: One Of our
dear old friends, some old-fashioned
closet naturalist who knew animals
only as dried skins and had been
getting funds from some kind-heart-
ed philanthropist, one day, under
pressure from the philanthropist,
sent around the corner and called in
an upholsterer and said: sHere is
the skin of an animal. l want you
to stuff this thing and make it look
like live animal" The upholsterer
did it and kept on doing it until the
scientist had a little more money
given to him for work. After a
while the upholsterer became ambi-
tious and had an idea that these ami
mails might be improved upon, so he
began to do better work. But it took
more time and cost more money, so
he lost his job.

A French author once coined the
phrase, 4The land of the mind" 1t is
a realm that many OF us have forgot
ten. There the imaginary is real;
there death is unknown, and the only
riches are mems thoughts. With ev-
cry age it grows with splendor. Dicl.-
ems, Milton. Shakespeare, Hugo
these and countless others have left
their all for those who travel there
The demands of existence have blind
ed some of US to the joys that lie in
such travels. AS children we roamed
the fields of Imagination, but nov we
believe only in the material. Yet we
call ourselves wise. The dreary nights
of winter are ahead. says London Ex-
