Sold Hogs by Telephone
A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. The weather
was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephone, called a dealer in
Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs
at a good price. He then called the local freight
, office and arranged for shipment.
The telephone Is now a necessity on the farm,

GOOD FEED FOR THE INDIAN
Cactus Fruit Is Never Likely to Be
come Extremely Popular as a
Delicacy for the White.
Nobody but an Indian knows how
to eat a prickly pear. The fruit grows
on the edge of a thick green leaf, and
bristles with myriads of closely set
thorns, sharp as needles and fine as
hairs. Though they cannot be seen
with the naked eye, they can certainly
be felt, as any one who has tried the
usual method of picking them with a
pocket handkerchief can testify. The
fine thorns penetrate the fingers and
the flesh swells, festers, becomes In
flamed and, if neglected, often de
velops into a serious case of blood
poisoning. When an Indian wants to
eat it he cuts a small stick, sharpens
it and thrusts the point into the ripe
fruit. Slicing off the pear with a sharp
knife and holding it on the stick, he
peels it, taking care to avoid touching
the rind with his fingers. He drops the
peel on the ground to the bitter sor
row of any barefoot boy who happens
to step on It. A liking for cactus fruit
may be acquired, like the taste for
olives, but it is not likely to rival the
cantaloupe or even the humble grape
fruit in popular favor. It resembles
cracked walnut shells moistened with
water, mixed with sawdust and cork
and sprinkled with brown sugar, a lit
tle lemon juice and a dash of quinine.
Any one who tastes it once is satisfied
to let the Indians gather the entire
crop.
OF THE DAYS OF BOYHOOD
Memory of. the Oldtlme Desserts Evl
dently Still Lingers With
This Writer.
In the good old days, hen life "was
simple and sincere, whenpeople were
happier than now and didn't make so
much money, when society was friend
ship and home was love, there were
two stated and popular desserts at all
parties and particular dinner occa
sions, and they were float and tarts.
That float! There was never any
thing to compare with it before or
since. Those white, snowy islands
floating on a golden flood were a
dream just imported from elyslum. It
was almost profane to taste it, so like
a vision of eternal happiness it seem
ed. But. we did taste it, and the lux
ury of it skipped past the palate and
melted into the mind, where it in
spired thoughts of the loveliness of
life.
And those tarts little, crisp, white
shells filled with jelly and jam or pre
serves of some kind. My, what gems
of joy they were! "We remember par
ticularly the jellied tarts. They were
winsome little desserts, as simple and
modest as lilies of the valley, and
sometimes we thought they were re
lated, they were bo modest and pure
Oh, the sad day when they were sup
planted by ices, meringues, crackers
and rotten cheese. No wonder pes
simism spreads itself so vauntingly!
Ohio State Journal.
Casting the Floating Fly.
It should go without saying that
properly and effectively to cast-and
fish the floating fly it is essential that
the tackle be correctly assembled. In
this regard I believe the point most
in need of emphasis is the question of
the right way to fit the reel to the
rod, says Samuel Q. Camp in Outing;
that this should be done so that the
reel is underneath the rod with its
handle to the right (in the case of the
right handd caster) is in my experi
ence the only satisfactory and thor
oughly efficient way. "With the reel
thus placed it is never necessary,
when playing a fish, to turn the rod
over so that the reel is above, as in
the case when the reel is fitted to the
rod with the handle to the left. After
a fish Is struck If it becomes neces
sary to use the reel the rod is simply
shifted to the left hand without the
awkward necessity of turning it over
to bring the reel on top and the
fingers of the right hand fall naturally
upon the handle of the reel.
Soap Known to the Ancients.
Soap in the form of vegetable ashes
mixed with grease appears to have
been greatly in vogue among the
Egyptians in ancient days, and that
the mineral alkali made by that
people in the time of Pliny was com
posed of the ashes of plants seems
pretty certain. A similar alkali was
used by the Hebrews, and when the
prophet Jeremiah said "Though thou
wash thee with niter and take thee
much soap (borith)," the latter mate
rial was probably the "borak" of the
Arabs of the present day, which ia
procured from the ashes of the salt
wortsDf the desert and other plants
containing saponine. Some speciee
of the fig marigold are called by these
people "the washing herbs," and con
tain the same cleansing property.
Slanderous Story.
An elderly woman in the recent
suffrage parade In New York became
greatly fatigued in the last mile or so
of the journey. Turning to one of her
marching comrades, she wailed: "Har
riet, I just can't take another steD.
I'm worn out. If I have to go a block
more I'll die." "Don't despair, mj
dear," was her friend's pious exhorta
tion. "Pray to the Lord for strength
She will help you." Philadelphia Rec

Restored to Health by Vinol
Letter to Mothers.
AnxIoUS mothers often wonrlor xo-riv
their children are so pale, thin and
ueivuus aua nave so utile appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source of
worriment Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. I im
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. I gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her I can truly
say it will do all you claim."
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strength-creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, run-down and debilitated. We
return the money ia every case where
it fails.

WORTHY OF GREAT FATHEP
Miss Helen Gladstone a Leader of Her
Sex, as William Ewart Was in
His Day.
Miss Helen Gladstone, who Is th
youngest daughter of the famous
statesman, has always been recognized
by her friends as a decided chip of
the old block. She came into the lime
light recently by denouncing one of
England's most cherished institutions,
the bazar, and her words have been
quoted from one end of the country
to the other.
Miss Gladstone makes her home at
Hawarden now, but until very lately
she has lived at tho Woman's Univer
sity Settlement in Southwark and
worked among the poor. She has a
keen sense of humor and tells many
funny stories of her experiences with
the submerged tenth. Once she bought
a set of teeth for a poor, toothless old
dame and presented them to her.
Some time afterward she visited the
old lady and asked how she was get
ting on with her new teeth. "Fam
ous," was the reply, "I'm taking great
care of them. When I eat I takes
them out and wraps them up In cot
ton wool."
Oncf Miss Gladstone had an offer cf
marriage from an old man who was
an inmate of a common lodging house.
"I shall be only too glad to do it," he
said, "provided you can satisfy me
that you have sufficient means."
Another joke Miss Gladstone tells
npon herself is that In the course of
her visiting she was asked by a bux
jm housewife how many children she
had. Miss Gladstone replied that she
was not married. "Well," was the can
did reply, "it is time you were."
As a public speaker Miss Gladstone
is the greatest sort of a success and
frantic efforts have been made to per
suade her to work for the suffrage,
but so far they have been unavailing.
OWED SUCCESS TO LAZINESS
And If Truth Were Known, Many
Other Patents Have Had Much
the Same Origin.
An Indianapolis lawyer who knew
the late Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland,
and formerly of Indianapolis, said the
other day that Mr. Johnson really
owed his success to "laziness."
"He made his money in the street
car business," said this man, who, as
a lawyer practicing here while Mr.
Johnson was in charge of the local
street car company a few years ago,
knew him intimately. "His first street
car connection was in Louisville, Ky,
There he had the job of taking the
nickels out of. the cars on each trip,
The cars had no conductors and the
passengers were required to drop
their nickels in a box. It was the boy
Tom's job to take the nickels out at
the end of each run.
"He concluded this as a good deal
of trouble, so he invented a car-fare
box with sliding traps in it so that
the nickels could not be removed
when once in and that would also reg
ister the number of fares. This made
it possible to take the fares up twice
a day in place of on every trip, and,
more important a little later, it gave
the young Johnson his start, for he
patented the device and made enough
money out of the patent to get a start
In the street car business. He said
he thought of the box because it was
so much trouble to walk out into the
street and empty the fare box every
trip a car made, so his patent was
born of 'laziness.' " Indianapolis Star.
