"It seems to me that smoke is get

Paddy slipped into the water and
swan about uneasily. He just
couldn't keep still. The smell was
growing stronger and that must mean
that the Red Terror was coming
nearer. He swan over to the nearest
poplar trees and wondered II, after
all, he and Mrs. Paddy would never
cut them. He swan over to the food

Paddy. "It is annoying. like to be

but I don't like to have them right
under my nose, so to speak, all the
time. However, we can be by our
selves inside our house. That is one
advantage Of having house well out
in the water"
Paddy nodded. "That Is true. my
Gear. The only thing that worries me
is that If this drought continues our
pond may grow 50 small that, in
time, the house may not be out in
the water, or there will be 50 little

And then one day Paddy, sitting
on his dam, lifted his nose and
shifted long and carefully. Then he
shook his head. He knew that smell

BY JEAN NEWTON.
Independence.

INDEPENDENCE, a word we hear
and see much of at this time Of
the year, has an interesting under.
tone and overtone.
When the Congress of the 13 United
States Of America, on the 4th day
OF July, l776, formally declared that
they were independent States, what
they affirmed literally was that they
would no longer hang down or be
suspended from any support.
This strict Interpretation Is revealed
by the derivation of the word inde-
pendence, which is in, not: plus de-
pendence. hanging; the root Is the
Latin dependere, to hang.
Special significance Is thus attached
to Benjamin Franklin's classic COM
ment at the signing Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence:
I'VE must all hang together, or
assuredly we shall all hang separately"
Directly. we get the word inde-
pendence from the French, in which
language 1t acquired the extended
application 1t enjoys in English, that
is, freedom from control by others;
or. putting 1t positively, elf-direction
and self circumference.

anchorage at hand. Vessels at an

We have not learned to eat the
mussel to any great extent. In the
foreign markets they are always in
demand. In fact, they are rated as
a staple sea food, in the same class
as our oysters and clans.
Mussel farming is a successful busi-
ness as conducted by the French
They set tall stakes in the deep, oozy
mud, where 6 feet Of each stake will
be exposed at low tide Basketwork
netting connects the stakes, and mus
sells cover them both completely.
Mussels are not so sensitive as
oysters, but a sudden cold gale will
kill them. The most important mussel
farm has total mussel-bearing sur
face which amounts to about 100
square miles.
The Indians and the colonists gath
cred mussels in great numbers for
food, but they found clans and
oysters much better. Then mussels
were soon, and now are, so plentiful
they were dredged and raked from
beds along the coasts Of Long Island
and New England and sold by the
scow loads to farmers, who spread
them as fertilizer on their fields.
The common horse mussel resem-
bles the edible mussel in outline, but
the shell is more swollen and the
beaks are not at the very end. The
valves are thick and the glossy brown
skin wears a shaggy hair coat. The
flesh is orange colored, the foot red
The favorite habitat is In muddy
gravel, from low water to 80 fathoms
deep. Probably you may find them
in rock crevices, where they are
washed by the tide at high water.
A mussel stands vertically in mud,
its nose buried. its siphons up in the
water.
Near Vancouver, the great horse
musser' has been known to grow to
be 9 inches long and 4 inches wide.
On the northern coasts Of England

we are used to seeing Is s inches long.

THIS is an ancient personal name,
very popular in Staffordshire,
England. From the personal name
many varieties of names have arisen:
Handsworth, landlord, Handley,
Handover and many, many others
which have no relation to each other
except their similarity.
The coat of arms we show was
borne to America by John Hand,
who came from Stanstead, County
Kent, England. He was one of the
nine patentees of East Hampton,
Long Island. in 1648. The arms are
blazoned, Argent, a chevron azure
between three dexter hands gules.
Crest-A stag trippant."
Joseph Hand, another representa-
tive of this family, was one Of the
first settlers in Killingworth, Conn,
in 1868. Descendants Of both these
colonists are numerous today and are
found living in almost every State.

TINE pond Of Paddy and Beaver
lies deep in the Green Forest.
Many Of the people who live
L there know that pond. 1t is
visited every day by Lightfoot the
Deer. Buster Bear takes a bath and
swims there once in while, Yowler
the Bobcat frequently leaves his foot
prints along the shore at night.
Blacky the Grow. Redtail the Hawk,
Sammy Jay and others Of the feath-
cred folk visit that pond often just to
see what is going on there.
During the long drought that pond
had become more popular than ever.
It had dropped somewhat, for you
know the Laughing Brook had very
little water in it, and so, Of course, It
could not keep up the usual supply
for Paddy's pond. However, there
was no cause for worry, and Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy minded the drought
very little. They are people who are
quite suflcient unto themselves and
would just as soon be left alone. SO
they found IL a little bit annoying to
