A peep into the first deed book
on file In the register and recorder's
office, when Wayne was known as
Northampton county and comprised
Wayne and Pike besides NorthamP'
ton, revealed a number of interesting
and out-of-the-ordlnary features
The deeds were written in pen and
ink and had the appearance of an en
graved piece of art more the work
of an artisan than recorder. Then
in those days it is evident that the
register and recorder necessarily
was a good penman. Every page of
the old docket was evenly written,
the letters being shaded and the ap
pearance was beautiful. John Broad

July 10, 1797, which was transfered

tion being $42. A page averaged
840 words, 14 words to the lino and
60 lines to the page. At another
place in the book appeared the title
of the deed written in capital letters,
which is very odd.

SEPTEMBER 1 IN NEW YORK
STATE.
From Friday on, in this State it
will be felony to carry a concealed
weapon and misdemeanor to own a
firearm, A license costing $10 will
enable you to be armed. But that
may be more than the old revolver
in your trunk Is worth. To be safe
you might throw It away, although
it is reasonably safe to let it stay In
the trunk, since the police cannot
search your house without a warrant
and the offence of possession is a
misdemeanor only. But It will go
hard with the thug or brawler caught
"with a "gun" in his pocket.
From Friday on. prize fighting will
be resumed after eleven years of pa
per outlawry. The bouts cannot last
more than ten rounds and must be
fought with eight-ounce gloves In
buildings safe-guarded against fire
and under the direction of licensed
clubs which will forfeit $10,000 if
these conditions are violated or if
there is a sham fight.
From Friday on, it will be illegal
to paint or paste an advertisement on
the property of another without his
consent or to post advertising on the
highways. It will be legal for any
one to removo highway advertising.
and the Good Roads Committee of
the Automobile Club has appointed
Friday as clean up day." when all
drivers are urged to destroy these of
fences wherever found.
From Friday on, the slaughter of
wild game In America will be mater
ially checked by the virtual closing of
Its greatest market. It will be
against the law In this State to sell
all game save deer, black ducks,
mallards and pheasants bred In cap
tivity, and certain stock imported
rrom Europe.
These four laws just about offset
each other. It will be profitless to
kill game for the market, and with
one's pistol taken away it will be
hard to kill anything else. But one
can legally satisfy his destructive
propensities by smashing highway ad
vertisements or by watching duly li
censed pugilists smash each other.

FINE SALADS.
Pineapple In lettuce nests: Cut a
pineapple into small pieces. And
one cupful of finely chopped celery,
one cupful of walnut meats, and one
cupful of orange pulp. Shred one
head of lettuce very finely and form
into nests on individual plates. Mix
one cupful of mayonnaise and stir it
lightly with the pineapple, etc.; add
more mayonnaise, if the fruit is not
sufficiently moist, and heap Into the
little lettuce nests. Decorate with
chopped .walnuts.
Salade do la Versailles: Boll six
artichokes, separate the "fonds"
from the leaves, and cut into small
pieces. Put In a salad bowl with an
equal quantity. of asparagus points
that have been cooked In salted wa
ter. Take a handful of salted al
monds, chop them fine, pound them
with the juice of two lemons and a
half a pint of cream, salt and pep
per, and pour over the salad. A lit
tle mayonnaise may be added to the
salad, but it is more delicate in
flavor without it. With cold chick
en nothing Is more excellent than a
salad of carrots, cucumbers and hard-
boiled eggs, aH, cut In rings and sent
to table with this dressing. Two
tablespoonfuls of olive oil with one
of lemon juice, with salt, pepper and
a speck of sugar to taste.
Mushroom salad: Remove the skin
and almost all the stalk from some
button mushrooms, drop them into
boiling salted water, and cook for

them with pepper and salt and finely
chopped parsley. Lay on a dish and
pour over two tablespoonfuls of oil
to one of Tarragon vinegar.
Shrimp salad a la Bretagne: Shell
a quart of boiled shrimps and lay
them on young lettuce leaves In a sal
ad bowl. Chill some mayonnaise
sauce on ice, pour over the shrimps
and serve.
THE PIAZZA PARTY.
Sonic Games for Girls to Play On
Hot Evenings.
For some reason or other girls al
ways have more sense than boys. If
you don't believe this ask the next
girl you meet and listen to her re
ply. Another proof Is that girls do
not run around during these stifling
summer evenings playing tag and
prisoner's base and getting all tired
and hot. They are content to sltj
on the cool piazza and talk and they
do not much care whether the boys
Join them or not. Any girl will tell
you this Is also true.
But there are evenings which are
too pleasant to just sit around and
be lazy in and girls want some quiet
game to play that will amuse them
until It is time for mother to bring
out the party and serve the ice
cream. There are a number of
games that are good fun and do not
call for any physical exertion or me
chanical aids. Of course there are al
ways riddles to be asked and an
swered, but these are a little passe
now and tho popular "daffydill" has
taken their place. Any bright girl
can make these up and a little prize
may be offered by the hostess of the
evening for tho girl who thinks up
tho 'daffydill that will vote to be the
keenest. Shadow charades are easy
to act as all that Is necessary for
their production is to stretch a sheet
across an open window and place a
lamp at the proper distance for
throwing silhouettes. Then one
group of girls acts out a word in
shadow pantomlne while tho other,
seated on the piazza, guesses the an
swer. When one has been correct
ly guessed tho two groups ex
change places.
A game that girls of from eight to
12 can obtain a good lot of fun from
is called "What shall I take to the
picnic?" Probably mother remem
bers how It was played. Ask her,
If she doesn't you can, be let into
the secret, hut you mustn't tell any
of your friends, or it would spoil tho
fun. Suppose you and a dozen or so
of your friends are sitting on the
front steps. You announce that
you are going to give a picnic and
ask Bettyi Jones, who sits next to
you, what she will take to add to
the luncheon'.' Maybe she will say
Ice cream and cake. Well, she canit-
go, and you tell, her so. If she had
said that she would butter and Jam
she could have gone. Why? Be
cause these thlngB begin with the
same letters that her names do. So
you ask all the other. Only a few
will give answers that will permit an
Invitation being extended to them
and It will take the -greatest part of
the party a long time to catch the
trick in the game.
Then there is the "Blind man's
singing school." This Is a game'
that will appeal strongly to father,
If he is reading his paper, or to
mother, if she Is trying to put the
baby to sleep. But It Is a good
game and they will not care If you
Piay it. Both of them used to when
they were little. First you choose
one of the girls teacher and blind
fold her. Then the others sit in
front of her, but not until after her
eyes have been covered so that she
will not know the position of any
one. The teacher then tells the girl
at the head of the line to begin to
sing some popular song. She must
only sing the first word. The next
girl sings the second word, tho third
girl the third word, and so on up
and down the line. The teacher can
stop the song at any moment and
try to guess the name of the girl
who sang the last word. If sho
guesses correctly, that girl has to be
teacher. By the time you have play
ed these games the party will bo
ready and the boys snooping 'round'
to see li they can get some of the
cake.
CARRYING OF DOGS.
Railroad Rates Have Advanced Much
tho Same for Canines as For
Persons.
"Dogs not exceeding twenty-five
burdened with increased rates of
transportation since the new passen
ger rates became effective on August
1.
The new rates and rules are given
under Rule 31 of the recent tariff, as
filed, which says:
Dogs not exceeding twenty-five
dollars in value, and not entered for
exhibition, bench shows or field
trials, If provided with properly fit
ting collars and strong chains, or in
crates, and if accompanied by owner
or caretaker, will be checked and
transported In baggage cars, and
charge made at regular excess bag
gage rates for gross weight. The
minimum charge for each dog on
chain, or for each crate containing
one of more dogs, will be the regu
lar charge for one hundred pounds
of excess baggage between tho same
points, except that between points
on the system named the minimum
rates and collections will be fifteen
cents.
" Dogs on chains or In crates will
not be checked' beyond points where
wagon or ferry transfer is required.
" Dogs do not form any part of
the baggage allowance."
Under the old rule the minimum
rate for the carrying of dogs was
ten cents, when a receipt 'was given'
the owner, and the dog was practi
cally at the owner's risk and care.
This minimum rate has been increas
ed to 15 cents, and while dogs may
still be carried under the old system,
they may now be checked and trans
ferred at junction points from one
train to another without any atten
tion on the part of tho owner.
It was said recently that the
checking rule was not a hard and
fast rule, and that gunners might
be permitted to look after their
dogs on tho train as heretofore, but
the charges will be the same and
will be based on the excess baggage
rate.
The table of excess baggage rates
for a hundred pounds, which will
bo the rate look after their dogs on
the train as given In the public pub
lished tariff sheets, averages about
one-sixth of the price of the highest
first class limited ticket purchased
for the owner. In other words,
when the fare is based on the two-cent-a-mile
rate the fare for the dog
averages about one-third of a cent
THE APPLE SEED CHALCIS.
A comparatively new insect is eer
lously injuring the apples in some
portions of Northeastern Pennsyl
vania. It is a very small fly or gnat
which pierces the fruit, and lays Its
eggs so that Its larvae or young de
velop in the seeds of the apple, and
it is hence called tho Apple seed
chalets. It results in dwarfed and
deformed fruits. Because tho in
sect is not generally observed, and
the little maggot Itself lives within
tho seed, few persons know that such
fruits are not due to dry weather,
starvation, lack of pruning and
spraying, and other causes, which
might result In dwarfed products.

asking how worms get into applo
seedB. He stated also that he found
a worm in the meaty part or pulp of
the apple. The reply of Professor
Surface was as follows:
"I am- glad to receive your letter
making inquiry as to how worms get
Into apple seeds. This is the Apple
seed chalcld. The egg is laid in tho
seed by a very small fly, with a
very long ovipositor or egg guide.
This pest is already becoming quite
serious in the northern part of our
State, but, unfortunately, tho people
aro not ready to listen to what wo
have to say about it. It may be a
few years before they will be willing
to act in concert and destroy it. It
is not difficult to get rid of the Ap
plo seed chalcld and prevent loss by
It, if tho people will only do so. .
The method Is to destroy all tho
little knotty and deformed apples.
This really could be done before or
after they naturally drop from tho
tree. Tho Apple seed chalcld re
mains in tho seed during the winter.
Thus if the apples were destroyed be
fore winter, the pests would likewise
bo ended. 1 '
The chief feature of tho work of
this pest is that the apples are
stunted In size, remain bunched to
gether in clusters, and are often
more or less deformed or mlsshap
pen. We have worked upon the life
history of this Insect, and now have
it worked out.
While I and my Inspectors havo
known of this insect for three or
four years In this state, and havo
known of its possibilities of great de
struction, it Is rather remarkable that
your's has been first inquiry upon
this pest. Persons having clusterB
of small dwarfed apples should ex
amine the seeds in them to see if
there Is a little grub or larvae in
them. If so, they may know that it
is the Apple seed chalcld, and all
such fruit should be destroyed. Also,
It is important that the seedling and
worthless trees in the neighborhood
be destroyed to prevent tho breed
ing of such pests.
It is very probable that the worm
or larva in the meat or pulp of tho
apple you mention, is not the Apple
seed chalcld but the Railroad mag
got. This is the larva of a fly, and
