FREELAND, PA., JULY 18, 1902.
BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience of Tw
Auturctie Explorer*.
Mr. C. E. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition of 181)8,
nearly lost his life by an accident of u
nature so peculiar that It is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex
perience. At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900, he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take a
pipture of the shore, he sent his boat
hack to the vessel to get a camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
011 the rough beach. Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr. Borchgrevink told the
story In the Outlook:
A roar and a rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the bench. The
thought came to us that the perpendic
ular rocks above us were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of lis was giving birth to an ice
berg.
Millions of tons of ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be
yond an immense cloud of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. I sang out
to Jensen, "Now we shall have to face
the wave!"
We rushed to the highest point of our
limited beach, four feet above the sea.
We saw advancing on us a dark green
ridge with a white crest. I called to
Jensen to struggle for dear life. We
clutched the uneven rocks, with our
hacks toward the advancing water. Al
though it could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, I tore the nails from my
ilesh in my endeavor to keep from be
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and I first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet
above our heads. It was somewhat
lower when It struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three
men in the boat found us, bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right
a small peninsula of ice protruded
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent toward the west. From
the moment It struck the curve of the
mountain rock to the west of us the
wave took a course more easterly than
where Jensen and I stood.
BREVITIES.
The negroes from the Tuskegee in
stitute who were engaged in 1900 by
the German government to touch the
natives of Togolaud, German West Af
rica, how to grow cotton have succeed
ed in producing cotton which Is graded
übovo American middling.
The British government has just
completed the survey of the English
section of Lake Victoria Nyanza, in
central Africa, for the establishment
of a steamer service on the lake in con
nection with Uganda railway,
which has recently heeu completed.
According to Collier's Weekly, the
most destructive shot tired in the Phil
ippines was fired accidentally by a
Philippine corporal who put a lighted
cigarette in a six Inch shell to discover
if It was loaded. lie never was able to
tell, for he was one of the twenty or
thirty men killed.
A Bohemian couple liolds the record
for procrastination. Franz Rosncr, 100
years of age, was married on his death
bed to Annu Itcnner, aged ninety-three,
at Oberpolitz. The groom died two
days later. The two had been in love
for seventy-five years, but bad kept
putting off the wedding day.

OASTORIA.
Beam the The Kind You Hate Always Bought
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Art In tle Ilonne.
The great prominence given leather
and leather effects In wall covering or
upholstery for the hall, living room, li
brary or (lining room Is one of the no
ticeable features of fashions in house
furnishings. One of the latest and
most novel ideas and one that Is ex
tremely effective is to use a metal fin
ished roansklu of either a brown or
greeu tone as a straight valance for a
velour portiere. Whole curtains of
leather are sometimes used, too, but
only In large, high cellingcd rooms,
where massive effects are in keeping.
Ceiling papers covered with a lattice
work of vines blooming with llowers,
giving the effect of living in an arbor
or canopy of flowers, ure among the
newest for bedrooms. For bedrooms in
country houses enameled furniture
painted In flower designs is certainly
dainty and charming. White is of
course the most attractive, although
many of the colored ones are exceed
ingly pretty. Among the most desira
ble showing Is an ivory white with sin
gle large pink roses scattered all over
It. Forgctmeuots ornnment another
pretty white suit, as do ferns und vio
lets.
A Pretty Bedroom.
rink and wlilte bedrooms are always
charming. A paper having an Ivory
ground, with a decoration of pink
chrysanthemums, is suitable for a large
room, but the American Beauty deco
ration Is a bit newer, and it harmo
nizes well with dark red. Let the pa
per run to the picture molding and tint
the ceiling white.
Cover the floor with a dark red filling
and place Bokhara rugs before the
dressing case and by the bed. An ef
fective way to furnish a bedroom
where yellow Is to dominate is to place
yellow paper 011 the wall and cover the
floor with a green deulin with an over
thread of yellowish brown. Upholster
the furniture, or, better still, make slip
covers for it of cretonne with an ivory
ground well covered with yellow flow
ers and green foliage. Use draperies of
the same fabric lined with muslin so
that they will not fade and provide
muslin sash curtains.
Kitchen Hint*.
A light, sunny kitchen Is made more
comfortable in warm weather by dark
green or brown blinds at the window,
offering shade while one sits down and
prepares the vegetables for dinner or
beats the cake. One thing kitchen
workers have not yet learned—to hus
band the strength by using a rocking
chair or other easy chair while per
forming certain parts of the work. I
have a friend who is very lame, and
she has taught me muny things In the
line of comfort. Perhaps she has dis
covered many of the aids she employs
in caring for her little summer home,
hut I know that she sits a good deal.
She could not do the work in any other
way because of her infirmity.
Lenfy Talile Deeornflon*.
For the msthctic who dote 011 pretty
table decorations the newest Idea is to
have little twigs set In silver cups, with
small fruits tied to the sprays of the
twig. A miniature cherry tree can he
built up In this fashion. Half a dozen
of these little trees make a beautiful
effect.
Festoons of ribbon on tliln muslin la
being used for table centers, ltosos,
violets and carnations can he used to
imitate nature by means of the new
wide ribbon which Is offered on the
counters as a Parisian novelty. Tha
effect when used with fine India mus
lin is like that of throwing a spray of
llowers 011 the table.

ins pattern, tills being a variation
which often produces extremely good
results The long curtains are of green
und white printed linen, the valance
being arranged beneath a molding
which now frequently takes the place
of the old fashioned curtain pole.
A V.a.iablc Salad Drrnnlnir.
A boiled dressing suited for a vegeta
ble salad Is made of two tahlespoou
fuls of butter, two tablespooufulß of
vinegar, two eggs, one teuspoonful of
sugur, one-half teuspoonful of salt and
two tuhlespoonfuls of French mustard.
Melt the butter and let it cool. Then
•tlr into it slowly the yolks of the
eggs, which have been previously min
gled with the salt and sugar. Add the
vinegar little by little, and cook it In
a double boiler until the mixture thick

cool, add the mustard and, lastly, the
utility beaten whites of the eggs and
three tablespooufuls of cream.
"JUST MAKING BELIEVE."
One Way to Make Thin Dull Old
World Seem Drlifliter.
There is many u fuilure on the part
of "grown ups" to comprehend the
mental processes of their Imaginative
superiors—the children. Some clumsy
person calls the most charming device
of fancy "another of those naughty
fibs." By that condemnation ho sets
up u well nigh Impassable bander be
tween himself and the childish dreumer.
Not long ago a grown up was accost
ed 011 the street by a dainty mulden of
four, who nodded a bright good morn
ing nnd then said, "Isn't there going to
be a wedding down there?" pointing
across the square.
"I think not," said the obtuse adult.
"I haven't heard of any wedding."
"Are you sure? I think there's going
to bo one," persisted the little maiileu.
"I don't see any flowers or carriages,
and I guess you are mistaken," replied
the champion of dull fact.
Then the tiny pleniler drew nearer,
and with an entreating touch of her
hand and a voice lowered out of hear
ing of the fairies she breathed:
"Please say there's going to be a wed
ding. I'm Just making believe."
Could the power of imagination go
further? Could there be n simpler de
vice for turning this dull world Into a
garden of flowers and sweet music
than this same gentle "making be
lieve?"
Imagination often proves to be the
door that opens Into a high philosophy
of life. We all remember Dickens'
brave little marchioness. "Did you ever
taste orange peel nnd water?" she de
manded of the gay Dick Swlvellor. lie
replied that he never hud tasted that
ardent beverage.
"If you make believe very much. It's
very nlee," satd the small servant, "but
If you don't, you know, It seems as If It
would bear a little more seasoning cer
tninly."
As long as life has Its ups and downs
it Is by no means impossible that to us
all, old as well as young, there may
come a time when we shall be glad to
have acquired the accomplishment of
making believe very much. —Youth's
Companion.
LAZY AND COLD BLOODED.
An Incident Thnt Nearly Cont Sir
Hunk IIOMC IIIN Peerage.
I,ord Strnthnnirn was the most Indo
lent, lackadaisical, languid person who
ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central Indlu uud
winning the splendid victories that Im
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree. One day when Sir Hugh Itose
he was entertaining a gallant company
at dinner during the crisis of the mu
tiny.
With the utmost sang frold 110 was
delighting those near him with one of
his best anecdotes. In the middle of It
his orderly entered and after saluting
exclaimed, "We have captured 200 reb
els, sir." To him the general turned
anil, with thnt elegant courtesy of
manner on which he prided himself,
serenely replied, "Thank you, ser
geant." But the man still reinulned.
Again Interrupting his chief, he said,
"But what ure we to do with them,
sir?"
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, "hang them, of course." And he
resumed his anecdote.
In a little while Sir Hugh was again
Interrupted In the middle of unother
Btory by the sergeant, who came In and
said, "Please, sir, we've liimg the lot,
sir." The general turned, bowed slight
ly and In the sweetest manner lisped,
"Thanks, sergeant—very many thanks,"
and then went on with his anecdote as
If nothing bad happened.
This story came to the ears of Queen
Victoria, and she was so angry that It
nearly cost Kir Hugh his peerage.
David's Line.
When David Belasco nnd 11. C. Do
Millo wrote "The Charity Ball," there
was a speech in It that did not please
Herbert Kelcey, leading man of the
company. The words Kelcey objected
to were quoted from one of David's
psalms.
Ignorant of Its origin, Kelcey said to
Mr. De MI He:
"I don't like thnt line. It's bombas
tic and old fashioned."
"The line Is not mine, but David's,"
replied De Mille, referring of course to
the psalmist.
"I thought so!" cried Kelcey trium
phantly. "I'd recognize David Bclas-,
co's style anywhere."
A Cacntlfiiinn,
One of our readers sends a nice story
about the question, "Whut Is a gentle
man?" Hearing a house curpenter spo
ken of as u gentleman by u furniture
remover, be sought delicately for ex

swered the furniture remover, "wo
calls every man a gentleman as pays
20 shillings In the pound."—London

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Points on Clover Hny.
Every year there are many questions
about curing hay. Early cut grass con
tains more moisture than that which
stands until dead ripe and Is harder te
cure. Ilay Is grass with the water
taken out of It. This water Is removed
by the wind, a hot breeze while the sun
is shining giving Ideal haymaking con
ditions. The easiest way for the water
to be taken from the plant is through
the leaves. When these leaves are
dried and killed, first of all there will
be considerable water left In the stem,
and this will move out very slowly.
When the leaves are left fresh, they
suck or pump the water rapidly from
the stem and thus dry It quickly. Cut
down two trees In full leaf. From one
take every green leaf at once and let
the leaves 011 the other slowly wilt and
die. You will find the first tree wet
and soggy, while the other is dry, hav
ing heen sucked or pumped by the
leaves. These things explain why the
best hay Is made In the shade. The
leaves are not withered, but keep on
pumping water from the stems and
"sweating" It out. Clover especially is
best cured In the cock. Its thin, broad
leaves nre quickly wilted In the hot
sun, while In the pile they keep at
work. We must remember that some
samples of enrly cut clover contain
over 1,600 pounds of water in every
ton and that 1,500 pounds of the water
must be taken out In a short time. One
reason why the tedder makes such a
useful hay tool is that It breaks the
stem and gives the water a chance to
escape.
Flglitlng; Insect* and Pests.
The fruit grower today must he a
successful fighter of Insects and all
pests of trees and vines, and unless be
carries the war 011 Intermittently he
cannot expect profit. It Is necessary
to put aside a certain amount of money
from profits every year to be expended
011 poisonous sprays for the following
season. One must have a pretty fair
knowledge of the nature of the differ
ent Insects most destructive to his par
ticular fruits. This docs not mean a
scientific education.
There are not more than half a dozen
insects that threaten most fruits, and
these can be studied so that one will
know Just when to look for their ap
pearance and how best to prevent their
destructive work. Too many wait un
til it Is too late to avert losses. The
first appearance of the Insects is gener
ally anything but alarming, and one is
inclined to believe that they will not
amount to much. But unfortunately
their multiplication Is very rapid, and
before the fruit grower realizes it his
crops ore nearly ruined. Sometimes
the danger Is even more insidious than
this.—American Cultivator.
Transplanting Plants.
There is always much difficulty in
germinating garden seeds In dry nnd
hot weather, and 011 this account the
fall garden Is often a failure. But this
difficulty can be easily overcome and
plants raised for transplanting in the
mhlst of the severest drought. Make a
deep bed In mellow soil nnd tramp it
well. Then water It heavily, and as
soon as It is In good condition for work
ing rake nnd lay a plank carefully over
the row or rows nnd walk on the plank
to make It fit the ground closely. It
may be necessary to turn the planks
over once a day to prevent warping.
When the time rolls around when the
plants ought to come up, raise the
planks every evening to see what's go
ing on beneath. As soon as the plants
appear raise one side of the planks and
prop them up to give the young plants
room. As the plants grow raise the
planks higher and higher until the
plants are sufficiently rooted to stand
without protection. Transplant after
a rain.
Breaking llrnodv liens.
Wo have tried many different ways
to break hens from sitting. The best
and most humane Is to place the hen
in an lnclosure alone or with others
which are similarly conditioned. There
should be 110 nest boxes In this prison
yard to tempt the hen, and she should
bo kept there, properly fed and water
ed, until she promises to reform her
ways. Cooping Is a failure in many
cases, as the hen will sit in the coop.
Some poultry writers hnve made the
astounding discovery that there nre
hens that will sit 011 a doorknob. Many
will sit 011 the ground or on a board or
In any place where they may be placed.
We have hens now which have sat un
til displaced 011 the perch nnd another
011 the dropping board under the perch.
Many hens will sit as faithfully with
out as with eggs, doorknobs or any
other object under their wings.
Cnlcb and Odd Time Crops.
In the Btntcs In which wheat, oats,
rye, etc., arc harvested by the middle
of Juno sueli plants as the cowpea and
soy bean may be sown after these
green crops nre harvested and mature
In time to be followed by these same
grain crops or by grasses, clover or any
crop adapted to fall sowing.
Cowpens and soy beans sown after
the harvesting of grain furnish an ex
cellent and large quantity of stock food
In August, September and October.
Canada field peas and crimson clover
sown lit July or early in August sup
plement the cowpeas and soy beans
from October or November until spring.
—American Agriculturist.
Profit In Sheep.
Every fnrmer Who will can make a
flock of good sheep profitable. The
flock, of course, should be proportioned
In number to the size of the farm.
Good mutton Is always salable. So is
good wool. And this will be the case
as long us people nre fond of meat and
until winters cease to make woolen
clothing necessary for comfort. At the
present time both of these products
arp profitable. . ....
