HALLOWFKN FUN.
Hints (in "How to Malic n linllouc'en
Piuty Go."
A woman who wants to got up n
Hallowe'en ptunt Mint will bo n little
out of tnc ordlnnry 1b roIiis to try
her lack nt a chantcclcr party. As
barn parties are popular at llallow
o'en she thinks that n chantecler bam
party will bo partioularly' appropri
ate. Sonic of the guests have volun
teered to represent chantecler char
acters as well as they can a pen
cock, n guinea fowl, a blackbird, a
dog and a cat, and so forth. Several
big black cats will nlso he on hand,
as It would not seem like the old fes
tival without them In evidence some
where, nnd among so many fowls they
will add to the amusement.
A barn naturally makes n most ap
propriate setting for chantecler dec
orations. Gay colored cocks are to
bo perched upon tho rafters, and nil
tho barnyard fowls, which enterpris
ing dealers this year are providing
in colored paper and cardboard, are
to be grouped realistically in the
corners. Stacks of corn, piles of
pumpkins and other vegetables, with
boughs of autumn leaves, will trans
form chnntecler's usually barren
quarters into a most festive hall of
mirth. DIack cats, bats and witches,
cut out of black paper and mounted
on yellow, will be used as wall dec
orations. A barn is much easier to decorate
in this way than a house, for no care
has to be taken of woodwork or
wall paper, and the hostess can be
as lavish as she pleases without dread
of the morning after, when a room
has to be put in order again.
The problem of lighting the barn
for an evening affair has bothered-l
her somewhat. A few real pumpkin I
jack-o'-lanterns are to be placed In
open spaces away from the hay, but
the owner of the barn Is too sensible
to allow many. A fair substitute has
been invented by tying paper Jack-o'-lantern
faces over the globes of the
safety lanterns commonly used In
barns. Fortunately, bright lights are
never needed for Hallowe'en games.
Bobbing for apples and fortune tell
ing are much more fun in a light
which Is dim, if not religious.
In addition to these ordinary Hal
lowe'en stunts, chantecler games have
been invented. The old-fashioned
donkey has been magically trans
formed into the cock himself, and
the company, blindfolded as in the
old game, will try to pin his tall on
In the right place. A cockfight be
tween two members of the party, at
tired in rooster costumes which have
been obtained at a city costumers.
promises to be entertaining. Some
talented members of the company are
going to give a burlesque of the real
Cltantecler play.
After the games partners will be '
chosen for the supper hour by pair-1
Ing ears of corn and autumn leaves
numbered alike. Supper itself will
be a basket lunch In the barn. Each
couple will secure their basket and
depart to a cosy corner of the hay
mow for the feast.
The menu will consist of nn egg
salad served In nests, chicken sand
wlches, pumpkin tarts and French i
Ice cream served in cases decorated
on tho cover with a picture of the
cock hero. Small cakes In the shape
of eggs will accompany tho cream.
Tiny cases in tho shape of black cats
will contain a pickle or a relish of
some sort wrapped up in parafilne pa- other day that there was so much
per The salad and the tarts, like j smut on his corn that when his cut
the ice cream, will be placed in pa-j ters came in from the field at noon
per cases covered with paper and I and evening their hands and faces
tied with Tom Thumb ribbon. The I were as black almost as though they
sandwiches also will be covered with
the parafilne paper. The cream, ow
ing to the danger of its melting, will
not be put into the baskets, but will
be served with the cake from a tablo.
To make the egg salad the hostess
has given these dircrtlons: For a
single service place two stuffed hard
boiled eggs upon a nest of frizzled
celery, with a square of mayonnaise
beneath. This jelly Is made simply
by adding gelatine, melted in a little
boiling water, to an ordinary mayon
alse dressing. The melted gelatine
should be beaten into the dressing as
fast as possible to prevent stringing.
Each nest may be formed in a broad
bottomed paper cup about twlco tho
size of those that come for charlotte
russe
The cakes will be covered with
icing varied in tone from a coffee
color to a creamy white to stimulate
the variations In the delicate tan and
cream color of real eggs. Coffee nnd
caramel llavorlng will he used In
these frostlngs and the cakes will be
plied high in baskets to represent
market women's baskets of eggs,

SMUT KIDDING DISCOVERY.
Interesting Directions Given Ily Mon
roe Farmer.
"The claims of the government in
vcstlgntors writes "Puddl" in the
Monroe Record that corn smut Is not
Injurious to cattle may or may not
bo endorsed by all farmers; but the
discovery by the scientists that the
black powder forming the bunches
of smut growing on corn ears Is
nothing less than a dense mass of
minute 'seeds of the smut, which if
allowed to ripen are driven in all
directions by the wind, to start a new
and bigger crop the year following,
nnd that these seeds, or "spores" as
the learned men call them, are so
hardy that their vitality is not de
stroyed by the digestive process of
cattle or during the chemical changes
incident to the ordinary rotting or
decomposition of manure, is a matter
of much greater moment, something
that few farmers will neglect to
profit by, and which is likely to even
tuate in a general effort to stamp out
thts oldtlme menace to cornfields.
Farmers have become Interested
and begun to talk. Reports from
tho western section of the county,
with which the writer is more fa-
miliar, say there is a great deal of
smut on tho corn this year. A man
passing through Ross township told
the writer he had seen many Infected
fields, one In which almost every oth-
er cornstalk seemed to bear a boil of
smut. Like stories come from other
localities. A field free of smut
would be hard to find, while fields
with, more or less of the blight are
the rule. In the aggregate the dam
age to corn must bo great. Smut not
only cripples or renders worthless the
corn ear on which It grows, but stunts
the stalk Itself, thereby decreasing
to that extent the vield of fodder.
Besides, smut is decidedly unpleasant!
to those cutting or husking corn thus
affected. A Chestnuthill township
farmer remarked to the writer the
had worked in a mine.
Now this farmer is going to have
an end of It, which partly explains
why his cutters were so begrimed
every bunch of smut was collected
for annihilation. Hitherto the farm
ers had little thought that the smut
seeds wero scattered over fields by
the winds, like the seeds of weeds;
in fact, farmers had come to regard
smut on their corn as a matter o,f
course, attributable to no apparent
cause, yet always more plentiful
during summers that were dry. But
now that they know Its source, the
farmers will gnther every bit of the
smut and burn It, like wild carrots,
Canada thistles nnd kindred noxious
stuff.
Snake Bites.
Samuel Hopkins Adams has been
Investigating snake-bites, not in the
interests of prohibition, but on be
half of Everybody's Magazine, says
the New York World. His opinion
that the whisky may be more potent
to kill than the serpent's poison Is
not dictated by prejudice.
It appears from the obtainable
evidence that only about eighty per
sons have ever died from snako
bites in the United States. Dr. S.
Weir Mitchell onco figured out an
8.7 per cent, mortality for cases of

Corn Grain in Lung of Young Mnn.
With a grain of corn lodged tn
his right lung and suffering groat
pain as the result, six-year-old Ed
ward Lorah, an inmate of the Odd
Fellows Orphan home, near Sun
bury, was brought to the Harrls
burg Hospital last Wednesday.
The little boy together with a
number of the boys at the home
was feeding some pigeons yesterday
at noon with corn. Young Lorah
placed several grains in his mouth.
Ho was running about the yard when
one of them accidentally slipped
down his throat. He choked and for
a while was unable to get his
breath. Tho superintendent of the
homo took the little boy to tho
Sunbury hospital but on the advice
of the surgeons there he was taken
to Harrishurg.
Dr. John F. Culp made an exam
ination last night and found that
the grain had lodged in the boy's
windpipe from where it entered the
right lung. It is believed that deep
breathing caused tho grain to move
from the windpipe into the lung.
Either of the two places is consid
ered dangerous. After tho examina
tion it was concluded that the boy
would have to be taken to Pittsburg
where a specialist will make an ex
amination and no doubt remove the
grain of corn.
SNOW WHITE DEER.
Church People Vouch for This Inter
esting Story.
Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 22. Members
of the Temple Methodist church,
Chester county, near here, while com
ing home last night from a harvest
home celebration, saw a snow white
deer in the road opposite the prem
ises of Mrs. Emma Shaner of Cedar
vllle. The deer, which, according to
the Methodists, had extra long horns
and was pure white In color, was
wonderfully agile. H. A. Hippie, A.
W. Hippie, Morris C. Shaner and
Howard Stuhlebine chased the ani
mal into the Shaner front yard.
The deer then leaped over a five
foot fence and escaped into a corn
field. Today a large number of farm
ers are out hunting for the animal.
Some weeks ago Roy Haws, of Cedar
vllle said that ho had seen a white
deer In tho sheep hill. He is not a
church member nnd his story was
discredited. It is nor' credited gen
erally. Advertised Letters.
The following letters remain at
tho Honesdale postofilce:
Mr. William Donlan, Mrs. Mlna
Decker, Mrs. II. McLain, Mr. James
McIIener, Mrs. Sara Mortimer,

Rhubarb.
Whllo rhubarb had been cultivated
In this country since 1573, It la only
lately that it has been grown as a
substitute for fruit. Tho early culti
vation of tho plant was altogether for
tho sako of tho root, which was used
to proparo tho medicinal rhubarb. Ab
regards the data of tho introduction
of tho rhubarb into this country wo
may noto that E. M. Holmes In tho
"Encyclopaedia Brltannlca" states
that it "was lntroducod into England
through Sir Matthew Lister, physi
cian to Charlos I., who, gave seed ob
tained by htm In Italy to tho botan
ist Parkinson."
The rhubarb of our gardens Is a no
tiro of Siberia and tho basin of tho
Volga, and its name recalls its Rus
sian origin. Tho ancient namo of
tho Volga was the Rha, and tho name
came to be applied to the root of tho
plant Imported from thence. So tho
Romans called It Rha barbarum, tho
foreign root. From this como the
French rhubarb nnd the English rhu
barb. During Its cultivation in thi3
country many new varieties of rhu
barb have been raised from seed
