at least, throe times during the
season. Li mo every seven or

M r. Seeds next gave his lecture
on "The Value of Fertility and
the Cheapest Way to get it. " He
iu handling his subject, told his
auditors of his own experience
with a poor farm that he bought
in Huntingdon county, and claim
ed that vegetable matter in con
nection with cultivation is the
cheapest road to fertility. To
reach this result, the cow-horn
turnip and crimson clover were
nsod, bringing up the soil to the
proper mechanical condition.
It was also recommended that
all manure made on the farm
should be applied .direct to the
sod as soon as made and left lie
for a year, if possible, before put
ting to corn, spreading the ma
uuro as evenly as possible.
v THURSDAY EVENING.
Prof. Bute was next introduced
and gave a talk on Agricultural
Education. The speaker in show
iug the value of an agricultural
education, gave some illustrations
showing how some men who have
prepared themselves for a post
tion above their own, so that
when an opening presented itself
the man was ready for it. The
address was interspersed with
anecdotes and amusing incidents
and was very well received.
The work of the institute which
had been very practical was now
finished, and there being an hour
left, the management turned
Bob Seeds loose on the audience.
Bob has a farm up about Bir
mingham in Huntingdon county;
and if he knows as much about
raising turnips as he does about
making an audience laugh, he is
a howliug success as a farmer.
The McConnellsburg orchestra
assisted by Prof. G. Irvine Cham

instrumental music at the even

Prof. Chambers Thursday even

a secoud was even more pleasing
than the first.

Goose-bone Weather Prophet
Predicts Record Breaker
With Plenty of Snow.
Elias Hartz, of Heading, who
has gained a wide reputation as
the goose-bone weather prophet,
has given out his prediction for
the coming winter as he sees it
from the breast bone of a goose
which he had for his Thanksgiv
iug dinner.
"I am now prepared to tell the
people what kind of weather we
will have from now until spring,"
said Mr. Haftz, displaying a
goose bone. "I have secured
several bones, and all are alike.
The edges at the front end show
a dark color, and this is known
as the frost Jine.
"Aloug about the beginning or
middle of December there is to be
a sudden drop in temperature ac
cording to the color, and winter
is with us. I predict that we will
have an unusually severe winter.
"Tliore is every reason to be
lieve that the whiter of 1002-03
will be a record breaker. It looks
to mo as though it was going to
be ouo of the old-fashioned kind.
There will be plenty of snow
along about tho middle of winter.

Portable Ironing Caiee That Many
Will Find Convenient
Ironing in its best cstnto could
never be aid to have tabout it any
of the flavor of the interesting and
noTel, and yet a woman has invent
ed for her own ue a quaint and in
genioua method of conducting that
homely household rite that seta it
upon a pedestal for the time being.
She hag arranged what ehe calls
a portable ironing cac, and it is so
simplo and useful that it ought to
bo widely disseminated forjhe use
of those who must flit from room to
room in the moving season or who
own a hall bedroom and a gas jet.
And how muny women and girls
know perfectly well that unless thoy
can have tho use of an iron occa
sionally their laundry bills will run
up into a terrifying amount.
With the ironing case all is made
easy. The first thing necessary in
the care of the person is a neat and
orderly arrangement of the stocks
and cuffs and handkerchiefs. Itib
bons, if they could have a bit of a
pressing between flannels, would re
new their youth, and stockings and
doilies come in for their share of
the same need.
Most lxmrding places distinctly
say, Ao ironing and washing al
lowed." This is to stem the tide of
young women who would rush into
the kitchens of busy houses or would
monopolize the bathroom. With a
set bowl or ordinary basin the tiny
wash can be wrung out and dried,
but the ironing has .always been the
problem.
To make a case purchase first of
all a little sadiron, and you will find
It the jollicst sort of eompnny. It is
tho king pin of the whole box and is
just two inches long in the keel, so
to spoak.
Jt is inexpensive and has a remov
able handle and is exactly like the
grown up iron, only very small.
llio second requisite is a stick of
wax of any of the best known
grades. The third requisite is a
small board such us any ten cent
store keeps for bread cutting, and
the last is a squune of sandpaper.
These with a small traveler's heat
ing lamp complete the outfit. The
whole may be placed in a small
wooden starch box and packed in
the trunk along with the other need
fuls for the toilet.
English Tea Cakea.
When visiting in the home of an
Englishwoman, I had for tea some
of tho most delicious tea cakes I
have ever tasted, writes 'a corre-
ipondcnt for the Woman's Home
Companion. She called them Eng
lish currant cakes. The recipe is as
follows: Three cupfuls of flour, a
pincli of salt, two heaping teaspoon-
luls or wikmg powder, one-hull cup
ful of butter, one and a half cupfuls
of currants, two tublespoonfuls of
finely chopped cundied orange peel
and milk enough to make a soft
dough. Mix nil dry ingredients to
gether, soften butter, and dripping
and rub well into flour; add milk
enough to make soft dough and roll
out on floured board till about one-
half inch thick; cut in rounds the
size of a tea plate, put in a greased
tin and bake till light brown. When
done, cut in two and spread thickly
with butter. Jserve hot. These
cakes will keep good and can be
warmed in the oven when wanted.
Brush Handlea and Backs.
The backs and handles of ebony
brushes should be rubbed over with
a very little boiled linseed oil after
washing and then rubbed r with a
soft duster till every vestige of oil
is removed. Special care is needed
in cleaning initials on these, and
only a very little slightly moistened
whiting should be used, or it is apt
to leave a nasty white mark on the
wood, which is extremely difficult to
remove. In brushing the whiting
off after cleaning bo careful not to
scratch the ebony, for once scratch
ed it is spoiled.
New Use For Chamois ftklna.
A new way to use chamois skin
has come to light, and doilies in the
natural vivid yellow or the gray and
red shades winch are to be found
among art furnishings decorate the
polished top of the luncheon table.
l)f course theso leather mats are
decorated, and opportunity is thug
offered for the amateur to do some
effective work, although no partic
ular amount of skill ig' required.
Rosea, chrysanthemums and nas
turtiums make excellent subjects
when due regard is paid to the color
effect.
Covers For Tables, f
A shabby table or one tbt is de
faced by stuins or a handsome one
that is wanted for a curd or re
freshment table may be covered with
a felt or cloth cover. Get a piece
of the muteriul of the proper size,
make it with a slim string all round,
seeing it is large enough, to. cover
the. edges of the table, and the
string may be drawn upi tightly
when the cover is needed.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.'
A Life Saving Elephant Who Caught
Ji Cold and Died. v
'A few Venrs ago two children were
bathing in tho Ben Bt a little town
on the coast of France when sud
denly for some reason or other they
were carried out of their depth. In
a few moments their cries as they
struggled in the deep water aroused
attention, but before any one could
reach them they were rescued in an
altogether unexpected wanner.
An immenso elephant belonging
to a traveling circus happened to
have been led down to the sea that
morning to bathe, and as he was en
joying his bath close at hand he
heard the cries of the children.
Plunging through tho water toward
them, he lifted them very gently,
one at a time, and carried them to a
place of safety.
This elephant, whose namo was
Ous, recently died at Hereford from
the effects of a severe cold. He had
reached a great age and was said to
be 150 years old. Chatterbox.

One morning I found mv terrier

took no notice of him; but he
jumped up at me and then nt the

that it might be opened. I scolded
him for being so greedy, but ho
would not move.
Later in the day cook wanted
something from the cupboard and
remui ked that Xip had been sitting
there ever since breakfast. Ho
seemed very excited and pleased
when he found the door was really
going to be opened, and when cook
threw back the door we knew why.

mained silent. "Well, suppose I
were to give you five rabbits today
and two more tomorrow, how muny
rabbits would you have then ?"
"Eight!" promptly answered the ju
venile. "Eight! Why, how do you
make that out?"' "'Cause I've got

the former will be broken, but the
glasses will remain intact. The im
