The July Woman's Home Com panion contains a great variety of practical housekeeping sug gestions. Here is one for the housekeeper who gets along with out ice: "Obtain a larirs. common flow erpot and seal tho hole in the bot tom with plaster of pans. Ilace in the pot the bottle containing milk, or a covered crock contain ing butter, and fill tho pot with water to as great a depth as pos sible without tho bottle or crock flnatine. Cover the pot with a board or a plate and set out in the open air, away from tho di rect sunlight, and preferably where there is a current of air. The evaporation of the water from tho surface of tho porous pot will keep the contents several degrees colder than the ouiside air, when there is tho slightest amount of air stirring. The higher the wind, or the drier the air, the greater will be the cool ing effect." Population Center Moving Vest. The center of population of the United States is four and one quarter miles south of Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana, accord ing to a Census Bureau announce meet. Since 1900. when it was six miles southeast of Colurrbus, Ind., it has moved thirty-one miles westward and seven-tenths of a mile northward. The west ward movement was more than twice that of the 1390-1900 de cade. This acceleration of the westward movement is attributed by census officials principally to the srrowth of the Pacific and o Southwestern States. ' The geographical center of the United States is in , northern Kan sas, so that the center of jwpula tion, therefore, is about 5;j0 miles east of tho geographical center of the country. 1,150 Postal Banks.

THEV ISE THE ALTO. No Read v 'Market Fur Stationary En gines In West. Stationary engines do not tin a ready market in somo parts of tho American northwest Hinco ranch owners have discovered the possibilities in the automobile as a motive power. James Thompson of I'endleton, Ore., is one of a number who do most of their farm work with a motor car. lie uses a Franklin, 1!)08, twenty eight horse power touring car which has run several thousand miles. The power of the automobile is applied to sta tionary uses by means of a frame and jack shaft beanog three wheels. The main axle of the car is lift ed from the ground to one end of the frame, and from each rear wheel of the automobile a belt is run to the wheels on each end of the jack-shaft. In the center of the shaft is a smaller wheel from which runs a belt to the machin ery which is to be opporated. Tho arrangement has been found very satisfactory, and Mr. Thompson cuts hay, saws wood and runs all manner of farm ma chinery with his automobile. This fall he proposes to operate a threshing engine with a thirty horse power Franklin. His present car recently re placed fourteen mules which wore furnishing power for a bar ley chopper. Haiti made the round so slippery that the mules were unable to get a foothold, whereupon Mr. Thompson rigged up his car and since then has dis pensed with mule power. The dismantling of the jack- shaft arrangement can be accom plished and the car placed on the road in fifteen seconds. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ) Lucas (Jounty. y Frank J.

'Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy Cod giveth thee" is a commandment which recently was the subject of comment by Judge Steel, of Westmoreland county, in a case in which a claim was set up by a daughter tor wages for services she rendered during the last illness of her mother. Judge Steel held that tho estate was not bound to pay the claim. In rendering his opin ion the Judge said: "A chud is not entitled to recover wages lor services rendered from the estate of a deceased parent unless upon a clear and unequivocal proof, leaving no doubt that the relation between the parties was not of the ordiuary one of parent and child, but of master and servant. It is the duty," said the Judge, "of the parent to support his or her child and it is the duty of the child to support the parent Filial duty aud common humani ty require a child to nurse, care for and help the parent." Judge Steel will hardly be subjected to "recall" for this clear statoment of the difference between the re lation of parent and child and that of master and servunt. desrsnd steady thai Inferln- tank.WMffOfl kind.

An Inconsistency in American law lies In the fact that while native citi zens may accept t!tles,of nobility from foreign potentates, foreigners must renounce their hereditary title before becoming naturalized citizens of the United States. That provision of the Federal naturalization laws goes boclc 115 years, and the subject led to a curious parliamentary fight In Con gross. It also resulted In the tem porary .retirement of a conspicuous Massachusetts Federalist from publlo life and stirred up a lively discussion on the slavery question. Immigration was exciting a good deal of talk in 17U4, when French no bles were still floelng from the reign of terror which ceased in the summer of that very year und when other French refugees had recently fled from the block terror of Huyti. So late in the year Congress began to revise the nnturallzution laws. The residence period necessary for naturalization was raised from two years, at which it had been fixed in 17110, to Ave, where it hns since re mained, except for a short time in John Adams's administration, when it was made fourteen years. While the matter was under debate Giles of Vir ginia proposed that foreigners seek ing naturalization should be required to give up any title of nobility that they might hold. It was at this point that Samuel Dexter of Massachusetts, a Federalist, brought tho slavery question Into tho matter. He made a speech ridiculing Giles's amendment as childish. Ho proposed an amendment requiring for eigners wishing to be naturalized to give up any slaves of which they might be possessed. Dexter's amendment stirred the Southern members, for they were a bit uneasy In view of recent massa cres of whites by the Insurgent slaves of Haytl, and they protested that the Massachusetts Federalist was Inciting Southern slaves to Insurrection and endangering the social system of the South. Dexter, nevertheless, stuck by his amendment, though some of his fellow Federalists were a trifle un easy at the storm he had raised, es pecially as they well knew that Giles's amendment would be popular in New England. Giles on January 1, 1795, did a thing that m-ared Dexter's friends even more, for be called for tho yens and nays on both motions. Under this call Dexter's amendment wag de feated, and that of Giles was carried. I)exter, although he knew he was do ing what would be unpopular at home, voted against the amendment requir ing naturalized foreigners to give up their titles of nobility, and he failed to return to the next Congress, though he lived to enter tho Cabinet of John Adams. The requirement was so popular that it was not repealed, when In 1798 the naturalization laws were ma terially amended, and It was left un disturbed when in Jefferson's first ad ministration the residence period re quired of foreigners seeking naturali zation was reduced from fourteen years to five years. The five year period had prevailed in Virginia in late colonial days. Oddly enough the first man known to have been natur alized In this country, Augustine Herr man, one of New York and later of Maryland, received from Lord Balti more about 16G6 the title of Lord of Bohemia Manor. Some naturalized foreigners have been known socially in this country by the titles which they adjured on giving notice of their Intention to seek naturalization, though in all public relations they have figured under sim ple surname and Christian name. Of the few native Americans who wear titles of nobility moat perhaps owe them to the Pope. American hankering after titles, which fell into general disrepute dur ing the French Revolution, revived early in the nineteenth century, and it Is said that one thing to attract some men to Burr's expedition was the hope hold out that his SpanlBh Amerlcan State would have orders of nobility. Young men making ready to Join hlra bantered one another as to the titles that they should bear, and a clever woman in the confidence of Burr was said to have gono so far as to draw up rules for court cere mony and make sketches for ceremon ial costumes. ' Within a few years a young Vir ginian shocked some of his kinsfolk by expatriating himself tn order to claim an English title long In abey ance in bis family. It Is said, on the other hand, that although the De Courseys of Maryland have an en tirely clear and legitimate claim to an English title, the rightful heir de clines to give up his American clti temjulp for the title. Had a 8ure Thing. An Individual, well known on the Berlin Bourse for his wit, one morn morning wagered that ho would ask the Bamo question of 50 different por sons and receive the same answer from each. The wit went to first ono and thon another, until ho had reach ed the number of 50. And this Is how he won the bet: He whispered hnlf audibly to each: "I say, have you heard that Meyer haB failed?" "What Meyer?" queried the whole 50, one after another, and it was decided that the bet bad been fairly won. In 6LESPINQ OUTDOORS1,' Appeals to the Imagination,' but Hat Its Drawbacks. Sleeping outdoors Is a practice about which there Is no such thing as a lukewarm opinion. Either a per son thinks there Is nothing like it or he couldn't be hired to do It. The au thor of "Lorna Doono" states that a horse sleeps best In a cloned barn, and a good many peoplo are like that. What with tho croakjng of frogs, and the chirping of wakeful birds and the rustling of the trees, and other sounds that nothing but a belief In ghosts can explain, night out In the open is not, in the opinion of such people, all It's crncked up to bo. All tho same, there's something at tractive in the notion of being oxidized while ono sleeps, and nowadays there are so many storlos going about of people who were cured of whatever ailed them by sleeping out of doors that It seems worth trying. Ono middle-aged woman who has Just made a great hit with a novel her first at tributes her success to inspiration gained by sleeping out of doors. Sho has a cot on nn open porch at her home, up the Hudson, and there she sleeps in all weathers. The porch has a roof, and Bcreens to bo drawn when It rains, but save in hard storms she never draws them. "When I slept Indoors," she says, "I used so often to get ftp in the morning feeling heavy and logy per fectly Idealess. It never entered my head to write a book in those days. I always had my bedroom windows open, but anybody who has slopt out of doors will tell you that no mntter how wide your windows aro opened it Isn't the same thing at all. "I hadn't been using my porch bed a month before my brain began to wake up, and I'm firmly convinced that the freiih night air wrote my book. As for physical health, from a bundle of bones I've become a crea ture bursting with riotous health." But even a porch bedroom has Its limitations. Somo, people can't feel that they are sleeping out of doors unless they have the sky above them. There Is something Inexpressibly beautiful and calming about It. To secure this, along with adequate protection from tho weather, a speci ally constructed outdoor room Is nec essary. In a certain yard near a cer tain American city, under some big sycamores, is an. outdoor sleeping room which seems almost ideal. Tho floor is raised two feet above the ground, to guard against dampness, and there is a wainscoting three feet high. But the great feature Is the roof, which, except for a cap of wood on either side of the ridge pole, is of glass ordinary greenhouse sashes, so fitted that they Blldo up and down the rafters, being operated by sash cords and pulleys. When tho night Is fair they are drawn up under the wood cap, and the sleepers' faces are open to the sky. Even when It storms the view is not interfered with, and the peoplo who occupy that sleeping house say It is perfectly delightful to lie and watch the rain beating upon the glass and the trees tossing their arms above. The projecting eaves keep any ordinary rain from beating in at the sides, but to guard against emergencies there are heavy curtains of duck which may be drawn and fastened down at the bottom if the storm is very bad. Get Weighed, First Thing. "They keep the scales busy, I can tell you," said the platform mnn on nn elevated station that receives pas- Hungers from a ferry line. "They all want to know how much they've gain ed while they've been away in the country. "The people that own tho scales know their business, take it from me. You observe that on this platform, for Instance, they put the scnlo whero it can't be overlooked and they stand it, do you note, facing the Incoming crowd, whero the peoplo can't full to see Its face with Its suggestive point er. "And now you let a train boat come In and the crowd carrying suitcases and bags troops up the stairs and along the platform. They see that Bcalo the first thing and down go the bngs, the people group around the scale and in go the pennies into tho slot and around spins the pointer and oft steps the smiling man. He's gain ed seven pounds or fifteen maybe, and unless he's a fat man he's well plensod. "Why sometimes they stand around that scale coining back from the coun try waiting theft- turns to drop their pennies In the slot and step up; they all want to get weighed the first thing when they come back, excepting the fat ones. I'm thinking up a scale now that will give the true weight of the lean folks and make the fat people eeem lighter than they are. I think there might be money in that if I could got it installed on platforms like this." To Make German Easy.

OLD MCCULLOCH FARM REDEEMED Charles W. Heltmuller of Hyattsvllle, Grows Canteloupes in Rivalry with Famous Rock Ford, Col., Product Wealth for Disheartened Farmers. Charles W. Iloltmulicr, a farmer living near Hyattsvllle, Md., about five miles from Washington, seems to have solved the problem offered by tho many abandoned farms In tho southwestern part of Maryland. Ho is growing canteloupes where tbey have never grown before with a suc cess that, by those who have tried other agricultural ventures in that section, is considered liUie short of phenomenal. Because of the Impoverished con dition of the soil tho land in Prince George County, where Heltmuller la located, has been for the past 40 years scarcely ablo to support the most economical of farmers. Heltmuller, who is a practical farmer with a sci entific agricultural training, is Betting a pace that promises a canteloupe raising section outrivalling Ilocky Ford, Col. On a 250acre farm, formerly a part of the country estate of Hugh McCul loch, Secretary of tho Treasury in the Lincoln, Johnson nnd Arthur ndmlnls tratlons, and which have been a dead weight on the heirs of the McCulloch. estate until ho took It, Heltmuller this year raised enough canteloupes to support an extensive agricultural establishment. Including a graduate scientific farmer, who draws a salary of $1,200 a year. When ho bought tho property two years ago Heltmuller knew that other farmerB had failed to draw a liveli hood out of that soli. Scores of aban doned farms In that locality served as constant reminders of what others had been unable to do. The first year ho planted ten acres in canteloupes. The seed he used was the result of several years' experi menting in the laboratory of nn agri cultural college. The experiment was a great success. Tho melons throve as mightily, without the irrigation that is supposed to be essential to their growth and Bweetness, as the same fruit does In Ilocky Ford, when watered by Irrigating ditches. He shipped to New York, Philadelphia and Washington', bearing the shipment of Western fruit to these markets by several days. Lnst spring he planted thirty acres of the Bame fruit. A large force of men was engaged to pick nnd pack this crop. -He shipped, ho says, 10,000 crates. If other agriculturists in that vicin ity follow Ileitmuller's example In tho choice and treatment of crops, and at tain anything resembling his degree of success, It will mean millions of dol lars in the pockets of owners of farm ing land In that section of Prince George County. It will turn the vast idle estates Into small, paying farms. Now that section resembles more the ! g(X.llong 0( the South through which. the war pnssed than a Bectlon of a prosperous State. Formerly the en tire country around there was called I Cherrydale, because of the large cherry orchards that crowded tho hills and surrounded the homesteads. Now the cherry trees have wasted away, the fences are down and the hills and valleys hardly offer oppor tunities for an Interesting fox chase. The historic Baltimore ani Wash ington turnpike, famous in Revolutlon- i.nry and early nineteenth century times, runs along one side of the Helt muller larm. A few yards back from the road may be seen the wreck of an old half way tavern whore Wash ington, Jefferson, Randolph and oth er Virginia gentlemen stopped for the night, en route to or from Baltimore.

Putting Ants to Work. In Burmah and the Far East they have a curious fashion of setting ants to work. Sandalwood, as we know, is worth its weight in silver, but it is only tho hard heart of tho wood that is fragrant and valuable. Tills preci ous portion Ib overlaid by a soft and worthless layer, which forms two thirds of the trunk of the tree. When a tree is felled and cut Into suitable lengths, the loggers Just let it lie. Then tho ants, attracted by the sweet ness of the wood, attack the chunks. Within a few weeks the little Insects have finished their work, and the valu able heart of tho ,wood Is freed of its worthless sappy covering and bocomes a valuable article of commerce. Carving the Grand Canon. The popular idea that earthquakes and volcanic explosions played a part in forming the Grand Canon of the Colorado River is thought by the best authorities to be without foundation. I We are now told that the canon I , , t o . .. the river, nnd that tne most enective tool employed was the quartz Band brought down from the sources of tho river In the mountains. This sand Is harder than any of tho constituents of tho rock strata in which tho canon hns been carved.
