MAY Squirrel Was the Messenger. The occupants of a house at West Medway, in Norfolk county, Virginia, were astonished at finding continually in the fireplace small pieces of paper ment, who, about 1826, began preach-! that had been dropped down the chim- ing in his sleep. His trance or sleep- ing fit invariably lasted as long as the ordinary nonconformist service, which he was in the habit of attending. The attacks became more frequent as time went on, and he would go through the whole of the ordinary chapel service, J ney from some mysterious source. When the owner began watching out- side the house he saw a squirrel run up the roof and enter the chimney. It wag concluded that the messages had been sent down by the squirrel. {WASTE PRODUCTS BRING IN PROFITS. !

In communities where fruit growing and trucking are conducted on an extensive scale 4 community cannery can be operat best advantage, and in some sections of the country, par- ticularly in Texas and Mississippi it has been found to be more profit- uble to can the products of the farm than to ship them. This is especial- Iy true where there is not enough of any one product to ship in carload lots. ed 10 the The cash return from one of thes: outfits is worth The home-grown products are of a higher grade than any that are shipped in because the homegrown material has not been subject to 2 long haul be- fore marketing.

It j: worthy of cousideration that during the shipping scason large amounts of fruit and vegetables are shipped on the chance of getting good prices on a falling market, and often do not bring enough money to pay charges Among the truckers and fruit growers of the South, what is known as the “Home Canner” has been used by progr ve men for a number of years, with pronounced succe: Tex- as has led in this line, having a “Home Canners’ Association” with branches scattered over the fruit and trucking scctions, whose members are leagued together for the purpose of buying supplies (such as cans,| solder, and shipping cases) in large quantities, and also to see to the shipping and marketing of their pro- ducts to the best advantage, This association reports that there is nev- er enough of a supply from its thou- sands of members to sa isty the de- mand.

When not long ago this man was introduced to a Syrian of g('md birth and education, who lives in Wor- cester, the Hubbite blandly inquired, during the course of their conversa- tion: “May I ask if you are of the Christian religion?” The Syrian smiled. “My family,” replied he, “was Upbolstering and Mattress Making OLD MATTRESSES made over, FURNITURE REPAIRED, CUSHIONS of all kinds mads order, A CARPETS ad RUGS cleaneg . - laid; also matting, etc, MIRRORS resilvered a specialys converted to Christ's teachings at the time of John's second visit to Leb anon.” In regards to workmanship, :Mr. W.

There is a very new change possible for the collar, the last notion for this being a very deep back with a rounded bottom. All versions of the style give the proper neck and sleeve cut for each one—the fine gown is gen- erally collarless, sleeves, while the practical high necked and long sleeved. Another charming device for taffeta would be to have the main part of the frock in a flowered or striped design with three-quarter one s and the deckings of plain, A veiling with taffeta trimmings is also adapted 1o dressy effects, for most of the things which are not of taffeta will be taf- feta trimmed. Among the deckings used on taffeta {tself—and they are many—is Hercules braid, a number of the coat suits being trimmed in this manner. If a simple frock on these lines is needed, thin blue serge with a touch of black taffeta would be very modest and yet smart as well. Thin dressy materials of a cheap na- ture are countless, and the very smart-. est of these are made up in one-piece manner, the gayer colors running to pufiings and shirrings, the stald ones looking well with deep skirt tucks and a shirt walst suggestion of the bodice. —_— String Belt. A belt made of colored string ig a novel accessory to milady's toilet, It is made by crocheting the string, as- ing a plain stitch, into the shape of a belt, having the two fronts marrower than the back. For light-colored wash dresses natural-colored string is used, but if it be a dark gown or you wish to match the color of your tie in the belt, make it of a fine wrapping cord that can be bought in almost any de- sired shade.
