When the seed corn ears have been properly selected it is essential that they have the right care in storage. The Pennsylvania Experiment Station, at State College, cautions farmers to be especially careful in the selection and care of seed corn for next season’s plant- ing. Because of the heavy rainfall and low temperature of the past season corn was from ten days to two weeks later in maturing than is usually the case. Be- cause of immaturity, therefore, the seed for next year’s planting will in many cases be low in vitality unless it is care- fully selected and then well cared for. In the latitude of Pennsylvania the tem- perature is seldom so low that the vitali- ty of the seed corn is injured, provided it is well dried. The danger, however, as the Pennsylvania Station sees it, is in having corn with a high moisture content subject to freezing. If seed corn is allowed to lie around in sacks for a number of days a loss may result on account of the high. moisture content and the consequent danger of heating. If well ripened the corn may be put in shelves or racks or put on wires or screens in any well ventilated out- building. If the corn is not well matur- ed it is often advisable to use a little heat to hasten drying of the ears. When heat is applied proper ventilation should be arranged and care exercised to see that the building is not heated too much. An unused room in a dwelling house may be utilized for storing seed corn. To Do Away With Chimneys. Houses without chimneys are to be a feature of London in the near fu- ture, according to a London architect. Already designs have been drawn for the erection of villas in a London suburb which will not show a soli- tary chimney to spoil the view from the house opposite. These villas will be heated on the Russian system, which dispenses entirely with the open fire. es -— ~~ rt . BIG DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA | WANTED TO SHOW LOYALTY Volcanic Ashes From Katmai Delayed Progress of Steamer—Expiosion Heard Afar. As we approach Kodiak, strange dark clouds were seen obscuring the horizon at several points and cne so heavy and black thyt it resembled smoke from a great forest fire. Cap- tain Jensen startled us by explaining that this was dust blown by the stiff breeze from the lofty hills all about us. These hills seemed covered with snow, but the whitish deposits proved to be ashes, rained down several feet deep upcn all this section during the eruption of Mount Katmai in June, 1912. Katmai is still smoking. The sun looked like a dull silver dollar as it shone through the aghy mist. The dust cloud was so thizk that it held our steamer up for four hours until the way was clear. Pass ing your hand over the rail of the boat you found your fingers streaked with the impalpable gray powder, When we landed at Kodiak we found piles of soft gray ashes and larze and small pieces of light, friable stone, like pumice stone, which had been thrown out by the volcano. United States Marshal F. R. Bren nerman of Valdez, who was a fellew passenger with me, says the explesion of the volcano was heard at that! place, 400 miles away from Kodiak, and sounded like a cannonading. Ii was followed by a deposit of fine ashes in Valdez.—John A. Sleicher in Leslie's Weekly. Activities of Women, Women are prohibited from preach ing in Norway.

BUILT TO WITHSTAND SHOCK Architecture of Old Peruvian City Adapted to the Needs of the Locality. The most characteristic phase of Peruvian architecture is found to be in the old city of Arequipa, which more than any other west coast city should be regarded as a home of cul ture in general, and therefore special: ly a center from which control and direction of the fine arts has pro ceeded. The Peruvian “Tarrytown,” we may call it, since the name Arequipa sig Rifies in the Indian tongue “Yes; rest here.” But orderly processes of ar chitectural development were rendered impossible in Arequipa, even more in feasible there than in other populous cities, mountain-built or on the Andean littoral. Repeated and very violent earth: quake shocks forbade such edifices a3 would have been stable enough in other lands to “rest here,” or in se curity anywhere near the geosynclinal that follows the Andean coast line. The cathedral at Arequipa, formerly more imposing than it is at present. is built of volcanic stone “in a style adopted,” as a famous traveler writes, “after the earthquake of 1821, which laid most of the city in ruins, as a security against similar catastrophes.’ Better than any other large building it represents the earthquake phase It is an expedient complying with, while bravely protesting against, im perative demands of the plutonic forces; not towered and domed, like the cathedral and the Compania at Cuzco, but capped with spires in the fashion of the church of San Pedro in Lima. Had to Watch the Game. Milroy, a Rush county town, seven miles south of Rushville, is a great place for marble fans. They hold a tournament each spring and su:nmer. One day rgcently a storekeeper, who is a mar»ls san, was standing in an alley by hig store watching a cioscly contested game. An Indianapolis trav. eling salesman, who had come to see the storekeeper, saw a person enter the man’s store. He went to the storekeeper. “There's a customer in your store,” he seid. “Pst, be quiet,” said the storekeep- er, “he’ll go out in a minute.” And he never took his ey? off the game.— Indianapolis News.

Pathos in Offer of Burmese Villagers to Come to the Assistance of Great Empire. L. P. Jacks tells this well-authenti- It comes from a civil officer in a remote part of Burma. One early morning not long ago this officer found an ancient Burman squatting on his heels in front of the bungalow whom he recognized as the head man of a village distant 50 miles away in the hills. Questioned by the officer as to the purpose for which he had undertaken so long a journey through the jungle, the old man replied as follows: “Thakin (master), my villagers wish to make some return for the fa- vors bestowed upon us by the British government, “And now I am come to tell you that we have in our village eight guns, an- cient and well tried and all held under a license granted by the most honor- able Thakin; we have also four pounds of excellent gunpowder in a bottle and a bag of bullets; these be- ing neither more nor less than the Thakin’s license permits us to hold. “Moreover, there are in our village two trackers who have proved ‘their skill in the capture of dacoits. Thakin, we have heard a rumor that the Brit- ish government is in great trouble with its enemies. “Wherefore, our villagers have em- powered me to say that the eight guns, bottle of gunpowder, the bag of bullets and the two trackers are freely at the disposal of the British govern- ment.” FACTS ABOUT WORKING DAY During the Last Twenty-five Years It Has Only Been Shortened an Hour. ‘We are far better off than we were fifty or seventy years ago, the New York Republic observes. At the begin- ning of the century, the wage earner labored from sun to sun, and later, when expensive machinery and artifi- cial light were introduced into the fac- tories, the working day was extended far into the night. In 1840 American cotton operatives worked 14 hours per day, and as late as 1852 13 hours, while today the average working day in the mills is under ten hours. The hours of labor of farm laborers, except in har- vest times, seem to have diminished, and in a considerable number of occu- pations, notably in the building trades, an eight hour day has been introduced. In other occupations, affecting the health of the workers or in which women and children are largely em- ployed, a shorter working day has been secured by legislation. But this progress, though considerable, is not nearly so great as is generally sup- posed. The ten hour day still pre- vails in most industries, while the 11 and 12 hour day is far from being ex- tinct. During the ten years from 1891 to 1901, the average working day fell only a quarter of an hour. In the last 25 years, less than one hour has been taken from the hours of daily labor. Peary Says He Knows. Lord Rayleigh is one of the most interesting members of the British peerage. His lordship is a noted scientist, and it was for his scientific work that he received the high honor of the Order of Merit. Although Lord Rayleigh is a profound scholar, he has a humor- ous side to his nature, and he once played a neat little joke on a learned friend with whom he had been dis- cussing some deep subjects. “What is the difference between the north and south poles?” he asked very gravely. His lordship’s friend thought he had a new scientific problem to grapple with and brought all the weight of his brain to bear upon the question. “I really must give it up,” he said at last. “The answer is simple enough,” re- plied Lord Rayleigh with a smile, “there is all the difference in the world.” ! Military Wedding Cake. |, The very latest British war fashion is the military wedding cake. So largely has this become a feature of weddings associated with military and naval men that the wholesale manu- facturers are specializing in toy or- naments of a warlike character to dec- orate the cakes. These are mostly ornamental can- non, guns and rifles, with battleships for naval men and very well executed models of aeroplanes for bridegrooms connected with the flying corps. Ar mored cars and flags of all nations also figure. Sugared Cupids and harps are at a discount. Warsaw Has a German Newspaper. Two weeks after the occupation of Warsaw by the Teutonic allies the first German newspaper printed in the gpncient capital of Poland made its appearance in the streets. It is a four page sheet entitled Warsaw German Gazette. It is published by the own- ers of the Grenzboten of Berlin, who also have founded a German paper in Lodz. The newspaper occupies a large building on Miedowa street and the plant is equipped with six linotype machines and several presses. Evi dently the publisher intends to make the venture permanent.

The house of the red chimney had been untenanted for many years, he had been told at the local country store. It was the only other house in the valley besides his own rough lodge, and he had not resented sharing the solitude until the morning when smoke rose leisurely into the air from the red chimney. Burton watchea it with unbelieving eyes. He waited until afternoon and then whistled his horse up from the lower meadow where it grazed and saddled it grimly. If any tramps or loiterers had taken up their abode there he made up his mind to oust them with short shift, It was a gallop of three miles around the bend of the river road. As he drew near, he caught a flutter of white from a clothesline in the yard. So the occupant was evidently femi: nine, which deprived him of some of the joy of retaliation. Still he looked decidedly stern and aggressive as he mounted the wide stone steps and knocked on the front door. There was no answer, and after the second knock the very prettiest fate he had ever looked upon appeared at the window beside him. “I'm awfully sorry, but we haven’ found the key to the front door yet. Won’t you come around the side way?” He strode through the grass doubt: fully. On the side porch, in an old split-bottom rocker, he found another tenant, a little older than the first, but very nearly as distractingly pretty, and this one was paring po tatoes. “How do you do?’ she said cheer fully. “Are you one of our neigh bors?” “I rather think I am your only neighbor in the valley,” answered Bur ton gravely. “I have lived here three years in the summertime. Burton is my name.” “Ours is Colby. I am Beatrice Col by. This is my sister Nan.” Nan smiled at him and handed out another chair. Before he knew it, Burton was thawing and telling them all about the valley and of his coming to it when his own health had broken down back in New York. He had ob- tained tenting rights first from the trustee of the land. Probably they "had rented from the same person. “No,” Nan told him quite frankly, “we just drove over and staycd here.” Squatter rights evidently, thought Burton, and he made up his mind to speak to old Newton about it. Yet the days passed and he permitted the interlopers to remain undisturbed. It was rather pleasant to sec smoke coming from the red chimney. Every other day he rode over to be sure his neighbors were getting along well Nan, he found out, was the housekeep- er. Beatrice was the provider for the family. They confided to him that she collected antiques for a New York dealer, and that they jaunted around to all kinds of out-of-the-way places. It was at the end of the fourth week that Burton, looking at himself in the glass hung on his tent pole, told himself that he was in love. He looked over at the red chimney and accused it in his mind. Then he looked again and saw something that made him hold his breath. Up from the red chimney came masses of sulphurous smoke that stained the deep blue of the morning sky. When he dropped from his saddle later, the white froth clung to his horse’s flanks and breast, but he ran on up to the old house and found the two girls fighting a chimney fire. Nan had taken a ladder and leaned it against the house and tried to reach the chimney with salt bags, but had missed her footing. “It’s only a sprain,” she called to him from the grass. “Go and help oo Beatrice. Mr. Newton came over, too.” “I don’t care if the whole thing Medical. A Bellefonte Interview Mr. McCLELLAN TELLS HIS EX. PERIENCE. The following brief account of an interview with a Bellefonte man over seven years ago, and its seqnel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. William McClellan, 244 E. Lamb St., Bellefonte, says: “I suffered for a long time from pains and lameness across my back and some mornings I could hardly get out of bed. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage, too. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured the attack and restored me to good health.” (Statement given Oc- tober 21st, 1907) Oyer Two Years Later, Mr. Mc- Clellan said: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills once or twice since for backache and disordered kidneys and quickly corrected the trouble.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. McClellan had. = Foster- Milburn Co., Props., Bedale, Y. goes up in smoke,” he said huskily, kneeling beside her. “Are you badly hurt. Tell me the truth, Nan.” “I'm all right, truly, truly.” She tried to draw away from him, but Burton possessed her hands. “I’ve loved you ever since I saw you at the window, Nan. You know it, too. Don’t laugh at me.” “Shall I cry?” she asked whimsi- cally. “You can’t, you know. You've just hated us for spoiling your val ley.” “It’s our valley now,” he said, when Beatrice and Mr. Newton came around the corner of the house bearing mops and pails. “Well, it’s out,” said the old man. “How do you like your two landlords, Mr, Burton?” Burton looked nonplused. “You know this whole valley is the old Colby estate. I'm mighty glad two of them cared enough about it to come home.” And he regarded them as invaders. He turned to Nan appealingly. “Shall I ever be forgiven?” She laughed and held out her hand. “Do you, think we would have put up with you so long, Jack, if we hadn’t intended taking you into the family ?”’ (Copyright, 1915. by the McClure News- raper Syndinate.) ‘Are You Operating a Mosquito Farm? a breeder of mosquitos? Many a man keeps a regular mosquito farm and does not know it. Are you one of this kind? You are, if on your premises you have open water barrels, empty tin cans, open water tanks, marshy or low ground that holds the water after rain. Of course, if you like being bit: ten by mosquitos and like to run the risk of having them carry to you some taint of disease, why you will not ‘do anything to destroy the mosquito breeding places. If the people of ev: ery community would get together on the mosquito question, the “domestic” mosquito could be eliminated. Kaiser Believes in Divining Rods. The use of the divining rod by the German armies for discovering water, as is reported, is probably due to the kaiser, whose faith in the power of the “magic hazel twig” is implicit. After watching many experiments by German “diviners,’ he expressed cpn- viction of the utility of the practice for the discovery not only of water but of metals. Some years ago he sent a special “diviner” to German Southwest Africa to prospect for wa- .ter and gold, and the modern Dous- terswivel claimed the discovery of more than one hundred wells by means of his sensitive rod. Hood’s Sarsasp=rilla. Catarrh Leads To Consumption Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be re- lieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It causes head- ache and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, affects the voice, de- ranges the digestion, and breaks down the general health. It weakens the deli- cate lung tissues and leads to consump- tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla goes to the seat of the trouble, purifies the blood, and is so successful that it is known as the best remedy for catarrh. Hood’s Sarsaparilla strengthens and tones the whole system. It builds up. Ask your druggist for Hood's, and insist on having it. There is no real substitute. 60-43 Restaurant. ESTAURANT.
