Through a h<Wi . rn hedge I had the eavesdropb guilty pleasure of overhearing an Idyl in the lane on the farther Bide Maureen had evidently said “no” to Shaun. IffWi -h, thin, if it must be it must, and if ye won't, ye won’t,” he ‘tßourrii d, “but oeh, Maureen acushla, "'why wasn’t ye born twins, so that I cud'have had the half of ye?” ffi ■and if it’s twins 1 was, ye cud that,” conceded Maureen, sympiithcticaiiy, ‘for nlvcr wad the one of me I be giving ye the go-by, except for Tim JTahe.y that’s coming back this week with expectations, as well ye know.” [ “Thrie for ye, thin, it’s on'y the half of twins ye are!" slulied Shaun. " 'Twas the will of hivln and ye’d Nothing io do wld the matther; but Maureen asthore, 'tls ylrsllf and not hivin has the deciding which twin ye'll be. L’ave Timsy explct Ms explctations fr’m tother wan, and thin l’ave yirsilf spake a word to me, wld the Bound there'd be in it if Timsy was not of it intirely.” “It wud still be no,” protested Maureen, but not very strenuously. “No l’ave it be. and. as many more noes of the same patthern as ye can lay yer swate tongue to,” agreed Shaun, "for ’tls a man wid quare ears on him wud be able to be sure they were not yes. 1 am not!” His ingenuity and persistence had their reward, and the eavesdropper escaped during the ecstatic flurry consequent upon Maureen’s surrender. I I could not regret tho experience, but I felt myself treated not quite fairJ ly by a fate that coniided so much, i yet withheld the rest. I never learned how comnlaisant or otherwise Shaun’s rival proved in the matter of trans'furring his “expictatioas” to the non- * .|existent twin. Poor Timsy! One of the Fastest Cameras. I Capt. B. H. Behr of the United E .States coast artillery has invented a camera that marks a great advance in 'the ar*, of photographing swiftly moving objects. It differs from the ordinary camera in size and in the mechanism of its shutter. It is almost four feet high. An electric motor that makes several thousand revolutions a 'second works the shutter; and since B|il£ speed of the motor can be accu'rajtely adjusted, the photographer can determine the length of exposure 'down to one-five-hundredth of a second. Tho new camera has photographed mortar shells at the moment they left the muzzle of the gun, and afterward, and has shown the curiI OUS “smoke ring” or "gas ring" that ' accompanies the projectile when it ? 'emerges from the gun It may yet help to determine exactly what happens when a modern high-power shell plows its way through solid steel.— Youth’s Companion. Cures for Ivy Poisoning. ’ The American Botanist publishes a letter from a Brookline (Mass.) correspondent stating that fishermen along* parts of the Massachusetts eoaut find a prompt cure for the effects of poison ivy and poison sumach In the flreweed (Erechtites hicracifolia). The poisoned parts are rubbed with the leaves of this plant, which must be fresh each time, bruised and Crush. <1 so that the sap moistens the skin freely An editorial note mentions the fact that a large number of plants have been recommended ./.(MUlvy poisoning— notably touch-me-not and burdock —but that it seems doubtful whether any of these herbs can do more than take the attention of the patient from his troubles and cure him by mental suggestion. Peculiar "Soft’’ Drinks. ’Among the prohibition drinks consumed by the Russians is shetnia, composed of honey, pepper, hot water and boiling milk. Shetnia has been described by non-Russians as by no IBeaiis a fascinating tipple, but it is > Wclared to be much more alluring than a concoction of the Laplanders, made of hot water and meal, strongly flavored with tallow, and also with reindeer blood, if any be available. fffiQvy 1 -— Kg' Fitting Place. »*How iong shall we mako our new dab garage?” t./’Listen, all of you.

WOULD TEMPT THE EPICURE' No Modern Dish Can Be Accounted Superior to the Squirrel Stew of the Early Days. Young squirrel, new potatoes and June peas, stewed together in an iron pot. over a hickory wood fire. As Harry Lauder says, “Ye caana beat it.” j In the early days it was a prime fa-' vorite in Kentucky, and the pioneers of Missouri brought a yearning for it with them when they came overland from the Blue Grass state and settled Mong the rivers and creeks in Missouri. I here were plenty of squirrels tn the woods of Missouri in those days, and In the middle of June, when new potatoes were about the size of wal-! nuts, and early peas were big enough in the shell, the old man, or the biggest boy of the family, would lift the 1 long barreled squirrel rifle and powder I horn down from the pegs over the fireplace and go out after a “mess” of young squirrels. At that time in June they were just large enough to dress well. A hunter who would shoot a squirrel anywhere except through the bead was accounted a mighty poor shot. And it had to be shot in the head or not at all, for a squirrel is a wary animal. As the hunter goes around one side of the tree the squirrel goes around the other way, keeping the tree between him and the enemy, but occasionally he peeps out to see what Is going on, and that is the hunter’s chance. Half a dozen squirrels is enough for a mess. While the head of the family is dressing them the womenfolk are grubbing out a half peck of new potatoes and rubbing off the tender red skins, and shelling a quart or two of new peas. Squirrel, potatoes and peas are put into the pot together It must be an iron pot. Any old settler will tell you that there is a flavor and a tang to “vittles" stewed in an iron pct that modern pots and pans never impart. The ingredients must be allowed t.» simmer, not to boil briskly, but stew gently over a slow fire until the whole mass is thorough ly disintegrated. Then It is ladled out and eaten while piping hot. A chunk of corn pene, dipped into the juicy stew and munched with it, im proves It. Anyone who has eaten of this dish will tell you that in all the range of cookery there is nothing quite so good. The tender young squirrel meat has fallen away from the bones, the new potatoes have melted, the peas have imparted to the whole a faint greenish hue, and all have blended together In a savory mass redolent of June buds and June blossoms. Learned Something Worth Knowing “As far as I can learn,” said ar Atchison man to the Globe, “all my little girl learned in school this year is that her eyes are not mates, that she will have to be vaccinated and that her method of breathing is cld-fash ioned.’’ To which the Downs Times reterts: “Well, what’s the man com plaining about? If his daughter has her eyes fitted with proper glasses she will be better able to de the reading that the course demands, even if she did not learn the multiplication table If she escapes the smallpox and preserves her beauty, she will considei that as valuable by the time she ie twenty as if she had committed the Constitution to memory, and knowing how to breathe properly may con tribute as much joy and happiness in her fair young life as being able to lo cate the medulla oblongata and name the bones in the skull. If education prepares for fuller, better living, what reason has some fossil who got his education in the three Rs in the days of lickin’ and learnin’ to complain because his children are enjoying it?’ —Kansas City Star.. New Metal Coming Into Use. Steel and bronze, largely used for years in the plating of yachts, bid fair to be replaced by Monel metal, an alloy resembling nickel in appearance. It is harder and tougher than nickel steel, retains its brightness, and dees not corrode. In this respect it is even better than bronze, which has been used on several of the big racing yachts and on a few of the cruisers. In ”1893 experiments were made with bronze and the cup defender of that year, the Vigilant, was the first vessel to be plated with bronze. She was a big success. The bronze gave her a smooth, clean underbody, and having a greater tensile strength than steel, Herreshoff was able to turn ont a comparatively light boat. In 1895 the. Defender was built for cup defense, and she was plated with aluminum. This made a lightly built hull, but the aluminum corroded and the yacht decayed after a couple of years. Since that time steel and bronze hav'e been used, and the Vanitie, built last year, was the first to have Monel metal tried. Extra Pay for Beauties. “Every American boy and girl has an inalienable right to have a goodlooking school teacher, and school boards should be willing to pay sls a month more for comely instructors than for homely ones.” Dr. Henry S. Curtis. New York play export, expressed that theory to western Kansas school teachers at Fort Hays Normal. Doctor Curtis believes that betfe-r looking teachers mean better discipline and more effective teaching. Doctor Curtis also believes that play should be made compulsory just as education is. tn 12 generations most Americans will be insane unless play is taught, he says.
