The original Dame Partington was
a respectable old lady who lived at
Sidmouth, in Devonshire, Eng. Her
cottage stood on the beach and dur
ing a severe storm in November, 1924,
the sea rose to such a height as
gradually to invade the old ladys
residence.
Mrs. Partington with such help as
she could secure with mops and
brooms, as fast as the water entered
the house mopped it out again until
at length the waves had the mastery
and she was compelled to retire to
an upper story. The first public al
fusion to the circumstances was made
by Sidney Smith in a speech on the
reform bill wherein he compared the
conservative opposition to the effort
Of Dame Darlington and her mop who
endeavored to mop out the waves OF
the Atlantic"

MAYONNAIsE dressing should be
AVA thick like whipped cream, and re-
main so for a long time, If kept In
cool place. Olive Oil Is by far the
most tasty to use in making mayor
naise, but corn oil makes a very good
substitute, and rs far as appearance
is concerned, is equally as good.
To vary mayonnaise add to three
fourths of a cupful two tablespoon-l
falls of tomato PURGE; this is tomato
cooked down until very thick and put
through a sieve.
Piquante mayonnaise-add two ia
blespoonfuls Of chopped olives and
pickles.
Cream mayonnaise is prepared by
adding three or four tablespOonfuls Of
whipped cream to threefourths Of a
cupful OF mayonnaise.
Chutney mayonnaise-addo one and
one-half tablespoonfuls of chutney.
Connolly mayonnaise-add one-half
cupful of cold Boiled rice.
Thousand isle dressing-to one
cupful of mayonnaise add one-half
cupful of salad oil, very slowly; one
tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, one
fourth teaspoonful of paprika, one
tablespoonful of chopped chives, one
tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one
tablespoonful of green peppers,
chopped; and one-third of cupful Of
chilli sauce.

One of the young women knew moth
ing about football and knew she knew
nothing; the other knew nothing about
football and thought she knew some
thing The result was that the couple
caused endless amusement among the
spectators sitting near them. When
the girl who thought she knew some
thing had given tons of inaccurate
information to the girl who knew she
didn't know much the latter pointed
to the field and asked:
"What are those?"
"What. dear?" replied her compan-
ion. DO YOU mean all those little
fgures?' They're men, of course"
NO, no! I mean those posts stuck
in the ground"
And she pointed to the goal posts.
"Well. fancy you not knowing what
they are!'' exclaimed Miss Knowall.
"Why, they're football iXtureS!"

Hair Pulling Tine.

Eight-year-old Frances had been
taught by her parents the art of keep
ing a secret and it irritates her TO be
suspected Of telling anything she Is
asked not to tell. The other day she
was visiting Aunt Grace, who also
had another young lady visitor. Aunt
Grace had warned Frances not to tell
the conversation, SO she began to talk
things which were secrets when the
visitor looking at Frances, said: Lit
tie pitchers sometimes have big ears
my dear"
Frances looked back at her. yes
she agreed lucidly, "but that doesn't
hurt II they don't have spouts."

The PhiiosoDhy Of a Smile.


Of all appearances of the human
countenance methiuks smile is the
most eXtraordAaly. It plays with a
surprising agreeahlehess in the eye,
breaks out with the brightest dstnc-
ton. and sits like a glory upon he
countenance What sun is there with
in US that shoots its beams with so
sudden a vigor? To see the soul fash
in the face at this rate one Weuld
think would comfort an atheist; by
the way observe that smiles are mere
becoming than frowns. This seems an
actual encouragement to good humor
as much as to say: If people have
mind to be handsome they must not
be peeyish and untoward.-Jeremy
Collier.

Peculiar Church ceremonies"

Since a Spanish play, produced at
the Opera Comique depicted dane.
ing in churches Parisians believe
that dancing in such establishments in
Spain is quite fashionable, only they
themselves would be against such at
fractions in France. Nevertheless
there exists a church in France where
one day in the year-Saint Marcels
day-dancing is allowed in the village
church. At Barjols, they kill a calf
and cook it in the church and eat it
there. After the meal the choir makes
way for a local orchestra, which hits
up the liveliest fox trots and SHIN
mics. and couples gayly whirl around
a floor shorn of its pews and chairs.

Ace Of a Fish.

The size and weight of a fish are no
Indication Of its age. Its length of
life is revealed. just as that Of Il tree
is by its rings. The fish has all
nual rings also. but net in its body
Put q fish scale under a magnifier and
you notice the scale is covered with
little rings-soiIe close together and
sonic farther apart. When the fish
grows slowly because its food is
scarce and the water is chilly, these
rings lie close together, but when its
food is plentiful and the water is
warmelt and the fish grow bigger
quickly-as it were, stretches its skin
with good feeding-then the rings on
the scales lie well apart. Each of
these rings represents one year in the
age Of the fish. There is another way.
1t Is by tracing out the markings on
what are termed the earstones of the
fish-the tiny hard things in its inner
ear Put these e2rstoues under a
powerful microscope and you see tiny
light and dark rings. Every light ring
tells Of one years growth SO by count
Ing these light rings you arrive at the

Any organism which does not
breathe may be considered dead. Now,
ripe apples plucked from apple trees
are not dead They are not 50 vigor-

through them, but still they are alive,
ana so they breathe and absorb oyy-

apples stored in common air.
No doubt the oxygen stimulates
their respiration and increases their
vitality, while the carbonic acid serves
as food provided sufficient light

Safe Treasures and

But lay up for yourselves treas

The light of the body is the

CULLING

The wide awake poultry man
is watching his flock at this sea-
son of the year. He watches
every hen that passes him. If
the hen has bright yellow sllanks
and beak, and is smooth and
clean. he suspects her at once as
a loafer. He says, That hen
has not laid enough eggs to take
the yellow out of her legs" If
the hen has pale OF whltish
shanks, ragged or dingy featl-
ers, lie says, THAT hen has laid
lot Of eggs; she has been too
busy to keep her feathers smooth
and all the yellow of her skin
and shanks has gone into the
yellow of the eggs. I will keep
her."
Do not put off Cu1ling any
longer,
September and October are
good months for culllng because
most good producing hens are
usually in the midst of their
moulting period i'll these months.
Early moulters are usually slow
moulters and they are also slow
in putting on their new feathers.
The hen that began laying IN
November and lay until Septen1-
Der or October has had time to
lay a large number Of eggs. One
that stops laying i'll June or July
and goes into the moult, has
much shorter time for egg lay
ing, and is usually slow i'll be-
ginning to lay again.
What should you Gull out of
your flock
Discard all hens and pullets
that have physical defects; crook
ed beaks; excessively long toe
nails; scaly legs; crooked backs
or breast-bones; knocked knees:
crow heads; also those that lack
vigor for they are susceptible to
disease, and if bred, produce
weak chicks. Sell hens that have
abdomens that hang down behind.
What should you keep for layer
or breeder
Keep the heavy layers; i. e.,
those that lay from early winter
until fall. They should be strong
and vigorous, able to stand the
strain of heavy egg production.
They should have a neat clean
cut head, strong beaks, (slort,
strong and slightly curved) and
bright, large and prominent eyes.
Heavy layers have long, broad
and deep bodies with long and
broad backs.
How can you Tell whether a
hen is laying OF not?
The pelvic bones are the two
Slightly curved bones on either
side Of the vent. When the hen
is not laying, these bones are
close together-about the width
OF a mans finger. When a pullet
is about ready to begin to lay,
these bones begin to spread; when
she is laying heavily, three or
tour fingers can be placed be-
tween the points of the pelvic
bones. These bones are soft and
pliable.
The distance between the rear
end Of the breast-bone and the
pelvic bones indicate capacity.
! Small breeds should measure
three or more fingers between the
end of the breast-bone or keel,
and the pelvic bones. They often
measure four OF five fingers.
Heavy breeds should measure
four fingers or more between the
keel and the pelvic bones.
The abdomen should be large,
very soft and pliable. If it is
hard OF coarse and meaty, with
LAYERS Of fat. sell her for meat

Early Record of New York Brokers.

Among the records Of the New York
Stock exchange, the earliest, which
bears the date of May Il. 1892, is as
follows: "We, the subscribing brokers
for the purchase and sale of public
stocks, do hereby solemnly promise
and pledge ourselves to each other
that we will not buy or sell from this
day for any person whatsoever. any
kind Of public stock at a less rate
than 4 per cent commission on the
specie value, and we will give pref
erence to each other in our negotia-
tons" This agreement was the foun-
dalton on which the great financial
fabric Of the new York Stock e1-
change has been reared. For quar-
ter of a century the brokers Of the
United States metropolis carried on
their activities under this compact,
and held their meetings in a Wall
street coffee house, and under but
tonwood tree at 6S Wall street.
