Study tfla Whims of Your Fruits and Vegetables if You Would Keep Them Really

g _ Fresh

Now that 10ml raspberries, beans, peas, tomatoes and other seasonal fruits and vegetables are occupying such an important place in the average diet, it is important that every pl caution be taken to protect their original freshness and succulents while they are in the pantry. Each individual fruit and vegetable has its own particu- lar preference as to temperature and humidity and it is necessary to Iyya ximafs these conditions if spoilage is to be avoided. In these days when most homes are equip-

es, this can be accomplished with- out much difficulty. Raspberries and other similar iruits should be left in their orig- inal containers and kept in the ics box or other cool place until lust before they are to be eaten. Unnecessary handling tends to bruise the fruit and hasten spoil- age. The washing of the fruit should be deferred to the very last minute for the same reason. Tomatoes, on the other hand are sensitive in cold and if they are to be held for only a short time they should not be kept in the refrige- rator. All succulent green vege- tables such as spinach, lettuce and garden peas beep beat when wrap- ped in a damp cloth. in the refri- gsrainr.

Never leave any kind of fruit or vegetable in dlloct contact with ics for along period of time.

POISON BAIT FOB CUT WORMS

Almost every spring cut worms do considerable damage to corn. cabbage, tomatoes. tobacco and some other crops by cutting them off at the ground. The insects work at night and hide by day iust be- neath the surface cf the soil or under rubbish or any good covering. They are stout, smooth caterpillars and when at rest are usually curled into a circle.

To control them use a poison bait. Them are several formulae for this but the following is about {I8 goodas limflrandblba; Pa- ris green or fine white arsenic, 1 1b.; cheap molasses l qt.; water enough to moisten, about 3 gals. Mix the bran and Paris green thoroughly until the green can be

DIALECTB ABSENT

As the asaizea in Newcastle-upon- Tylis, a witness was once testify- ing under oath. what he had ob- served in a case of assault. "Wey" (well) said he, "Aa was gannen doon the Side, all‘ Aa seed a hub- bleshoo comin' oot of a chars-foot" —“Whst?” exclaimed the Judge, “what does this man say?" The Judge was from the south of Eng- land, and not versed in the aub- tletlss of the Northumbrian dialect; but counsel made it plain that a disorderly mob was coming out of the end of a chars or narrow street. and the trial went on. Whether the ’ of education has done away with the old dialect I know not: but it is certain that inlay boyhood r could have held my end up in a conversation of which a southern might have un- derstood about five per cent. This (more pusrorum) was all the bet- ter that the dialect was forbidden at home!

Now on "the Island" dialect is just bout absent. There was, twent years ago, a faint trace of the “ZulnmemeW or Devonshire twang, but I hear none of it now. I lived near a good friend, an Irishman, for some years but not a word of his resembled the broglle of tbs "Ould Sod." Another occa- sionally used the word "fomenst" meaning “near to" or "against," but that was the extent of his offend- ‘illg. And the Scot does not say,

"llech, Mon, gle's yer hondl" like hlakinaorosstlle seaflrhereisa certain timbre of voice which be- trays the Islander, but no dialect.

g with the intent to relieve the be- ileagured town; but it arrived too I late. Reshly engaging the triumph- ant barbarians, the Roman infantry (comprising the great mass oi the legion) was utterly destroyed, and the cavalry, with Cerealis himself, fled to their camp and shut them. selves up inside the walla and en- trsrlchments. In utter despair the _, procursior Cstus, ‘had been the cause of the revolt, deserted his post and fled into Gaul. At this critical time the pro- praetor, Cains Suetonlua Psullinus, ioneoftbemostwarlikeandskiliul of the Roman generals, was on a distant expedition against the ‘Druids of Mona, an island to the north-west of what was afterwards

the eastward. 1t was this outlinel “lied Wllee- The news oi the dil-

aster swept across the éountry with the mysterious speed usual in bar- barian lands, and reached Psuliinua Just as he had gained a victory over his opponents. There was noth- ing to be done but to abandon the fruits of victory and to hssdu back. ‘

Nevertheless, "he marched through the midst of the enemy lo Londinlum, which was not yet hon- ored with the name of s colony, but considerable from the resort of merchants and from its trade." (That is to say, in A. D. 6i lhndon was a populous place. with many merchants, but only ranked as a villaue).

Here Paulllnus must make a mo-

‘ decision. Should he make Londinium the head-quarters of the war? He reviewed the defences, which were weak, and warned by the check which Cerealls had in- curred by reason of his rashness, he determined to ensure success by sacrificing the town. Orders were given to march and the ten thous- and men which he had collected. moved sway, despite the tears and cntreaties of the people. As a con- cession he received into his army all who could follow him: but all those whom youth, the weakness of sex, the infirmity of age, or at- tachment to the place, induced to stay behind, fell into tlls hands of enemy and perished. The same fate befall the town of verulalnium (St. Albans) and none were spared. Seventy thousand citizens are said to have perish during the insurrec- tion for the Britons "thought of nothing but slaughter, hanging, burning and crucifying, as if to retaliate for former sufferings, and eager to quench their thirst for vell- geance."

The Roman commander had now an army of considerably over l0,- 000 men, wnsistin of the four- teenth legion, part of the twentieth, and auxiliaries from the nearest military posts, besides many priv- ate citiasns from the “is atened towns: and he felt strong enough to engage the enemy with reason- able hope of victory. He chose a
