And she’s right too. Why not lay in a supply just as soon ag possible after harvest is over and thus insure against playing freeze-out next winter. Our wood is the “burnenest, slabe- nest slab wood in the country. What About Fixing up a Little?

The celebration of May day is an English custom which originated with the Druids. The Floralia, or floral games of the Romans, which began on April 28 and continued several days, were festivals of similar character. In | medieval and Tudor England the first day of May was a great public holl- day. The young people started at an early hour to gather flowers and haw- thorn branches, with which they dec- orated every door and window in the village. ‘In Northamptonshige it was the custom for the young men early on May day morning to leave a large bunch of flowering hawthorn at the door of the prettiest girl in the vil- lage; later the hawthorn gave place to the May basket. In some places in the United States May baskets are hung on the evening of April 30, but there is no authority for the custom. {NO MORE RATS or mice, after |SNAP. Its sure rodent killer.

A story dating from our Oivil war has just been retold by Hari Russeil grandson of Lofd John Russell, the great Victorian statesman, tn his “My Life and Adventures.” A Philadelphia lawyer named Rosengarten was a csionel in the Northern army and was dispatched to arrest John Janney, & Quaker, who had signed the Virginian act cf secession, He found them all at a “reeeting,” so he just sat down and said: “I don’t want to disturb your meeting, but I warn you that at the end of it, it is my duty to arrest John Janney.” One oy them arose and : “Will thee take off thy hat?” he replied, “it is a Friends’ meet- “Yes, thy hat is a milltary hat.” ing.” So he took it off, and his sword also, after some demur, und one of the Friends took them out, After an hour or so, the meeting was over. “Now,” he said, “I must remind you that I want John Janney. Pray stand up.” About twenty of them stood up. “Non- sense,” he sald, “f want the John Jan- signed, ete.” “Oh, that Jonn they replied, “why he took out thy hat an hour ago.” He added that after the war John Janney came and called on him to apologize for sipping away, but sald it wonid really have been very Inconvenient for him to have been arrested just then.—San Francisco Argonaut. EARLY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA Northmen Said to Have Known of the Great Continent Long Before Columbus Was Born. It is said by persons who have given attention to the subject that the Northmen were well acquainted with the east coast of North America nearly 500 years before the first celebrated voyage of Columbus, It is said to have been accidentally discovered by an Ice- landie navigator, whfle endeavoring to make the coast of Greenland, In the year 1001,, From that time, for about 850 years, the intercourse of the Ice- landie Normans with Holluland (New- foundland), Markiand (Nova Scotia), and Yinlané (New England), was fre- uuent and intimate. No other Euro- pean people have been so scrupulously correct in keeping thelr records as the Scandinavians, and the accounts of these early voyages, which have been handed down from the period In which they were made, are most particular and circumstantial—more so, Indeed, than those of the Spanish adventurers who follow8d Columbus. All intercourse of these Northmen with America seems to have ceased about the middle of the Fourteenth century. This fact is as extraordinary and inexplicable as that, about the same time, or ‘soon after, they disap- peared in like ifanner from the west coast of Greenland, Sees No Change in Weather, A scientist says the sun has not cooled five degrees In a thousand mil- lion years. This may be true, but our recollection is that a thousand million years ago the summers were much hot- ter and dryer than they are now. A thousand million years ago the heat was so Intense we couldn't sleep nights; even in our favorite northern resorts a palm beach suit felt like a winter overcoat. The mercury used to break the necks of the thermometers, In those days they used to deliver ice at nights, because it was impossible to transport It in the daytime, A 25-pound cake of ice in a trip from the wagon to the back door, if the sun were shin- ing, would be changed into a kettle of bolling water. Only five degrees cool- er in a thousand million years—the man has grown forgetful !—Detroit Free Press. Some Consolation. The guest found the bride's biscult rather heavy. They kept foreing them on him, and he kept nibbling at them. But he slid several into his side pocket. The bride saw this and so did her hus- band, Of course they were too polite to say anything. However, as soon as the guest had departed, the bride began to whimper, “Cut out the weeps, dearle,” coun- seled her husband. “Take it as a com- pliment. With those biscuits he doubt- less intends to conduct some important experiments from which we may all reap fame and fortune. He’s a noted road builder.” “Women and Others, “Women who are useless as wives aften make excellent housekeepers.” “A woman judges the merit of a play by the sartorial hints which it offers, & man by the number and length of the Intervals,” “Never make the mistake of taking family squabbles seriously. Mutual abuse is a privilege which ls much esteemed in the home.” “Between the ages of fifty and sixty a man is a devil df a fellow— after dinner. At breakfast time he is Rats | just the devil."—From the Relations of Harlequin by Stoni Semper. - Strange Experience. While visiting at the home of my nephew, his little sons gave me some freshly gathered nuts. When I got home, my mother, without mentioning it te anyone, put them away, She died suddenly soon after. Later I hunted everywhere for the nuts, but failed to find them. ‘That night, as plainly as if she were at my bedside, I heard her say, “If you will look on the swing shelf at the foot of the cel- lar steps, you will find the nuts.” They were there.—Exchange.
