In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor tells what won ders the parcel pas' has brouent about In the way of giving the country woman a chance to send the city woman products of the farm Many suggestions are made in the article one of which follows: *'Wny not send cour. try sausage to some ci.y friend? Pnt it twice through the grinder, season it with salt and black pepper, sage and cayenne, then pack it into little crocks or stuff it into skins and link it. Add to this a little sack of home-grown buck wheat flour so that yeast-raised buckwheat cakes may accompany the sausage, and there will be no one late to breakfast in the family you send it to.” A novel idea in fire-fighting apparatus has been adopted by the city of Duluth. In a certain section of the city the sandy streets make it difficult for the fire department to answer an alarm quickly, so a small fire station was erected near the’ traction •■mpany’s caf barn. An old trolley car was purchased and equipped with hose, ladders, chemical extinguishers, axes, lanterns, and all th? other neces sary apparatus for extinguishing small fires and* preventing them from becoming large conflagrations. The regular crew of the trolley cons'sts of a motorman and one city fireman. With this service it is rarely necessary to call for additional fir? fighting forces. A picture of the car appears in the January Popular Mechanics These orders and bulletins tell how the Boy Scouts were called upon to serve their country. The following extracts from reports which have been received at the English headquarters office indicate something of the wonderful varied character of the activities that the English Scouts are engaging in: The 13th Hampstead Iroop is encamped by an electric power sfation at Neasden, which they are guarding day and night. Tho thousand Kent Scouts have been watching the telegraph wires to prevent them from being tapped. A South London troop has been invited into the country to help a farmer with his harvesting. Scouts are encamped at the Aircraft factory, Hendon, and patrol the biulciing, day and night. Wolverhiiißilon Scouts are carrying out a novel idea, suggested by Sir Richard Paget, district commissioner for Wolverhampton- Scout is undertaking to rear six chickens to help the food supply. Other country Scouts have planted all the waste lan4 in their neighborhood with turnips—“ Boy Scouts in the War,” W. P. McGuire, in National Magazine for December.

AT THE LYRIC Tuesday Matinee and Evening. Besides the Sixth Episode of “The Perils of Pauline,” we will have three other shows. Five reels in all. Story of Sixth Episode. The last attempt to secure Pauline's fortune having failed the two villains are desperate. Harry Is exerting all his influence to have Pauline marry him at once and they see their opportunities slipping fast. When looking around they see that there is going to be a balloon ascension, and they decide to get Pauline to the grounds trusting he able to do something there to cause an accident. Paulin, much to the chagrin of the conspirators, asks Harry to go along. When they arrive the balloon is about to go up. Harry unconsciously helps them by asking Pauline to see what sitting in a basket feels like. Just as she enters the basket a wild horse runs away and in dashing through the crowd knocks over the men who are holding the ropes. Pauline is carried up alone in the balloon. She is carried some distance, and then the anchor catches in some rocks. There is only one way down. She is forced to slide down the rope. Harry has been following the course of the balloon in his car and arrives in time to see Pauline land on a ledge about half way down a cliff. The slides of the cliff are so steep that there is no way up or down. He gets a rope and proceeds to slide down to her. Just then the conspirators arrive on the scene and cut the rope. Both Harry and Pauline are caught in the trap. A good idea comes to Harry and he climbs up the rope to the balloon and pulls the cutting rope. The baloon falls and they have a rope to the ground. Hicks and Owen, however are on the job and as they land they are attacked. Harry is knocked senseless and Pauline is carried away and locked up in an old house. She at last is in the power of the two people interested in her disappearance and Harry has been left unconscious far behind. “The thrills in this episode are in our opinion far better than in any of the previous episodes. The villains are more resourceful and Harry is fooled in his attempt to take care of Pauline. Miss Pearl White- and Mr. Crane Wilbur take some very hazardous chances in the episode that would make most people think a few times before going ahead.” —Electric Film Co.
