"Red Rock, X. V.." said a man who
spent some time there, "isn't much of
a place, but there is something inter
esting about it that 1 fancy all the
world doesn't know. The present name
is not the one it has always borne, and
what its other name was I don't know.
Whatever it was the people did not ;
like it and concluded they would
change it. There was no particular
reason why they should call it Rod
Rock, but that was determined upon,
and so Red Rock it became.
"Then In the course of time strangers
of an inquiring turn of mind began to
aak why the place had such a name, ;
and as no reason could bo given new- j
comers to the neighborhood began to
want a name that meant something. !
This insistence grew so strong that the
old residents began to look around for
a reason for the name of their place,
and at last they found a huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead of red, and the pro
gressists insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon a
new plan, and, procuring a barrel of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
Red Rock indeed it was now, and not
only was all opposition to the name
overcome, but the painting of the rock
every spring has become an annual
festival, and the people celebrate it
with a big picnic and general celebra
tion.
"It was a new idea to me, and if
there is any other town anywhere on
earth that is christened every spring
with red paint or any other color I
don't know where it is."—New York

Coelf ShontlnK In Tnll Corn.
Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the expert as it is puzzling to the
novice. You will, of course, work with
the rows, not across them, and if you
are wise you will shoot at every
glimpse of a bird and very frequently
after an Instant's sight of him, when
you can only guess where lie is. Sharp
work, say ye, my masters. Yes, in a
measure, but not so wonderful after all.
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth in action, but actual
sight of the bird at the instant of pull
ing trigger is not necessary.
Green corn won't stop even fine shot,
and your charge will give a pattern as
big as a bushel basket; hence the shak
ing of a leaf, the flick of a vanishing
wing, are enough for the master of the
art. In an instant his gun is on the
spot where a species of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should tie,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him to shoot at once in
stead of waiting in vain for a clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird in
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses, though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is no royal road to
success in the field. Nothing but ex
perience really counts. So let the nov
ice crack away, although he may only
get one bird In ten. We all know what
he'll get if he doesn't shoot at all.—

EitriTacanr<> of tta'- Pon-r.
in his principles of <voonomics Pro
fessor Marshall savs that perhaps
1500,000,000 annua'iy is spent by the
working classes and $2,000,000,000 by
the rest of the population of England
In ways thit do little or nothing to
ward making life nobler or truly hap
pier. Tne presidential address before
the economic section of the British as
w. elation at its recent Bradford ineet
'•*'& by Henry Iliggius was devoted to
proving the above statement by point
ing out the many ways in which, large
ly through ignorance, the working
classes absolutely throw money away.
The simple item of food waste alone is
almost enough, according to Mr. Ilig
gins, to Justify the above figures. Tho
women do not know how to buy eco
nomically, and owing to the large num
ber who are now practically "brought
up" in factories very few of them are
passable cooks or even good housekeep
ers. Housekeeping of even the hum
bler sort is an art. To know what is
the cheapest food from the point of
view of contained nutriment, how to
cook it to the best advantage and how
not to have any waste does not come
to a woman by Intuition. As Mr. Ilig
glns says, if more knowledge and time
were devoted to the teaching of cook
ing in our schools the meals of most
families would be more varied, more
appetizing and nutritious and much
more economical. Mr. Atkinson lias
estimated that the waste of food in the
United States from bad cooking alone
is over $1,000,000,000 a year. In speak
ing of expensive habits, such as liquor
drinking and smoking, Mr. Iliggins re
fers to the latter as the most econom
ical of recreations. "How else, for in
stance, could the Ilarz miner give
himself an agreeable sensation a thou
sand times a year at so low a cost as
$2? But nobody," he continues, "would
wish to see a freeman using his tobac
co as the Russian peasants described
to me by Prince Krapotkin, who first
chewed it, then dried and smoked it
and finally used the ashes as snuff."
The time may not be far distant, Mr.
Higgins suggests, when in large indus
trial towns the entire preparation ol
meals will be in the hands of special
ists, Just as the originally domestic op
erations of baking and brewing now
•re.—New York Times.

' . y»nu time immemorial rhrist-
J mas lias been the greatest of
holidays in Sweden. In hea- !
SMBJ then times the midwinter fes
! tival was celebrated in honor of the i
! sun, which had retreated more and '
more since midsummer and now, after
the winter solstice, began to return, J
i causing darkness to be defeated by
I light, says the Chicago Record. There
j >vas then great feasting in the chief
tains' banqueting halls, where the
i bards sung songs in honor of fallen he- j
i roes and where eating and drinking j
1 played an important part. Touching !
I the head of the god Frey's boar, the j
i warriors made vows about the valor- |
' ous deeds they would perform next j
i summer, when the ice which now held ,
i their dragon ships fettered near the
j shore would be melted by the sun. The
J excessive eating and drinking at the
i winter festival continued also during j
| the middle ages, when Christmas had j
; taken on a new significance.
| Many peculiar Christmas customs '
prevailed until a bout themidd I

, ' century, especially among the rural in
i habitants. A few of tlieui have been
'■ retained to this date, although the ad
j vance of civilization has almost exter-
I minated superstition and has refined
' j manners. Besides the customs still re
tained the Swede had formerly much
■ to keep in mind at Christmas. Nothing
I that necessitated a rotary motion
' | should be done on Christmas day. Any
j body who visited a neighbor on that
I day ran the risk of getting boiled water
I thrown in his face. On Christmas eve
- | straw must be laid on the floor for the
> children to play in and for the mem- j
. hers of the family to sleep on during
the night.
' Christmas day is still the greatest
holiday in Sweden. The Swedes of to
day are more temperate than those of
olden times, but no miser is so mean
' that he does not prepare well for j
- Christmas, and no home is so poor that
- it is not then better provided than
usual with the essentials of good liv
s ing. Especially in the rural home the
housewife Is for many days busily en
gaged in preparations for the great
holiday. Bread of different kinds must
' be baked, Christmas beer brewed, the
Christmas pig killed and sausage made.
i the dried lingfish must be soaked in
- lye, and everything must be scrubbed
8 and cleaned. On Christmas eve as
_ much animal food is cooked as the
„ house can afford, and in certain homes
where old customs are retained the din
ner is eaten in the kitchen, and evcry-
body dips his bread in the hot broth in
II which the pork has been boiled. The
8 day before Christmas is therefore of- j
s ten in jest called "the great dipping j
day." In order that all be® gs shttil be i
happy the farmer gives the cattle and j
the horses extra food, lets loose the j
watchdog and places a slieaf of un- j
' thrashed oats on a pole for the birds.
This last custom prevails even in cities.
e Fresh spruce trees are placed outside
' the doors and on balconies.
After dinner the Christmas tree, a
i- young spruce, is dressed with fruit.
paper covered candy, bright colored
N glass balls and ornaments and paper 1
flags of till nations. On each branch is j
hung a small candle or a taper. These (
are lighted in the evening, and the de- j
lighted children are allowed to make a ,
merry ring dance around the tree, j
Thereafter tie members of the family
collect arou id the table, and the :
Christmas presents are distributed.
Masked pe sons in picturesque cos-,
fumes are sen on the streets carrying
bundles of pi -sents for friends or rela- j
o tives. They greet nearly everybody '
they meet with the words, "Merry
Christmas,'- and are answered. "Same
to you." On :md after Christinas day
| a Swede on meeting an acquaintance j
>vill say, " "ood continuation of the

FOR CHAFING DISH RECIPES.
, evenings will add many a completed
[ bit of fancy work to her store of boll
' day presents. Let us suppose you
1 have the faculty of using water colors
! and that you can print neatly, then for
Ideas suggests a provident woman who
takes Christmas by the forelock as
follows in Good Housekeeping:
Try a chafing dish book, with covers
cut from the thin mat board, and a
score of leaves of flue writing paper
tied in with a silk cord. Let the deco
ration be something that suggests good
things to eat—a waiter with his white !
aprou and lavish expanse of shirt ]
front, a scampering rabbit, suggestive
of the dish we always associate with
j a chafing dish, or a pretty maid stirring
some strange concoction over the blaz
ing alcohol. Here are a few home
spun stanzas suitable for these pretty
books:
I'm not so many, I confess,
Yet when 1 chance to sup
On lobster a la Nevvburg chafed,
Why, then 1 double up.
j These rerses will fit almost any sort
j of decoration.
When with mustard, cheese and beer
1 patiently do jugEle,
Grim Indigestion doth appear,
Triumphant from the struggle.
I Chafing dish books may be made any
size from neat brochures 5 by 3 inches
to larger ones with the dignity of a
cookbook. The same size and the same
style of designs may be used for an
other purpose with only a change of
title —that of "autograph recipes."
These little books have been the fail of
the summefr. Every woman at a sea
shore hotel seemed to possess one, and
they went the rounds among summer
acquaintances with a plea for "your
favorite recipe." They are more than
a fad; they are a genuine aid to tta
good housewife, a gathering of other
i women's culinary wisdom.
Menu lists are another useful gift.
Take a piece of thin mat board or
heavy water color paper of smooth fin
ish, cut it about !» by 0 and tie in with
silk cord through holes punched at the
top six pieces of white card. At the
j top of each card putin pretty lettering
| "Breakfast," "Luncheon," "Dinner."
aud write ou them favorite dishes of
these meals. A glance at them will
save sometimes ten minutes' hard
thinking.
With the sketch of a woman puzzling
over a menu list comes as cover deco
ration:
What shall I have for dinner?
What shall I have for tea?
An omelet, a chop or two
Or a savory fricassee?
Dear, how 1 wish that nature,
When she made her mighty plan.
Hadn't given the task to a woman
To care for a hungry man!
For the friend who carries a camera
wherever he goes make a snap shot
book with covers of the mat board, on
which you have painted a bright bit
, of landscape or marine view and such
i a legend as "Caught by a Camera,"
} "Vacation Day Snap Shots" or "Kodak
| Finds." If your friend revels in blue
prints, make covers of white water col
i or paper and decorate the front with a
bit of marine done in cobalt and indi
| go, then add the title, "Some Hlue
i Prints." It is a good idea before dc
! signing snap shot books to discover the

size of pictures taken by your friend's
(.•itinera, then make the book to lit
them. Two prints may go ou each
page, or one, then the dozen cards for

name style of book may be adapted for

stead of landscape or marine a cute

This is an English story, and, strange ,
as it may seem, it made a hit when it 1
was told at the Lambs' club, says the j
New York Telegraph. It was perpe- !
trated by Lawrence d'Orsay, the Eng- !
lish actor. Several members of the j
club spun yarns of dubious merit, j
when Mr. d'Orsay in his peculiar way j
began:
"Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story." j
One man present pulled out his j
watch, and they all thought it was go- j
ing to be a serial. One or two started j
togo, but the actor stopped them by I
his assurance that the story wouldn't ■
be very long.
"There was a friend of mine in Lon
don." lie said, "who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to siuoke cig
arettes. and he got well again."
Mr. d'Orsay effected his escape
through the assistance of a friend who
knew him when he didn't tell such sto
ries.
