We put the Fall pork in the bar-. rel tonight, working beneath the new lights but following the old method we have used for years.4 It commences with washing and scalding the stout container. Due to the lack of facilities nowadays at Alderlea. the butchering wasl done off the farm this year and; through the kindness of our locali butcher. This is a man of consid-' ered and quiet manner who does -and always has done, kindly deeds for his fellow-creatures. Neither is he one to let one hand know what the other hand "doeth"l but dismissing any thought of re-l ward lightly. goes on to repeatl his good works wherever the op-i portunity offers. "Now, Ellen”; James looked up at us from at kneeling positloiv beside the car-? miss to ask a perennial questionzj "Shall we remove the backbone entirely -. or cut it down through the centre?" And years have taught us to make the same re- ply: "Just whichever way you ron-E sider is the best James!" We knew? before the words were tittered he:

It is usual for him to interrupt,' the cutting with an abrupt: "Have; you put the salt to warm, Ellen-; and have you mixed the other in-: gredicnts with it. the brown sugar. and allii" Our a.';stii'aiice of l1.'ll'lll;i faiihfiilly attended to this iiicidcn-y

Strange But True

By F. If. Maciu-that

The key of death was

invented by Tebaldo. a merchant of Ven- ice. Italy. It is still preserved in

that city. The key of death was so made that the handle could be pressed. thus shooting out a very small needle with considerable force. Tebaldo killed three persons with this unique invention before a clever doctor cut into the flesh

of the last victim to discover the hidden weapon. The home of the murderer was searched. the key discovered, and Tebaldo was exe- cuted in 1600. I 0 0 Frank Fry, of Cliristian Mal-

ford, Witts. wrote his own epitaph. Here's how it reads:

"Here lies I

Who did die.

Many Eiigiislinieii will be sur- prised to learn that the ashes of King Alfred were scattered to the four winds by a group of convicts. No one in the neigliborliood both- ered to recover or preserve the ashes of this patient king. . . .

The art of glass mzil-ting was dis- covered by accident. some mer- t-hrints who were tr:-ivcling with nitre rested by a streiitii near

Mount Carnicl. As they could find nothing siiiialale upon which to rest their kettles. they used pieces of the intro for the purpose. The lient, melted the intro which mixed with the sand. and lot the world had its first glass. In Vat- ican City grows fl grape vine call- cd the "Vine of the Lord". It is tended by the Pope himself and his nieces. The juice pressed from the grapes has a faint, rosy tinge. and is of par excellent quality. The first pressing is the best. This wine is used cveiy Tuesday morn- lll,'.'. in accordance with an old cus- tom. the Pope holdmg divine ser- vice in his private chapel, for the benefit of the enemies of the Church. The Pope, is in a sense, bound to tend the vine and to hand it down unharmed to his successors. . . .

When Sir Thomas More's Utopia was first published it. occasioned a pleasant mistake. More's political romance told of perfect but vision-

ary republics in the New World. The learned Budaeus and others. believed the yarn to be true and

pretty against the contrasting gray of the day. . . . . . .

Looking towards the house across the lane when dusk was dropping prematurely. we saw a small wist- ful face pressed against a pane. . and a hand waved, and withdrew.

In Norway and Sweden there once lived two families of the name of "'llrolle” which trans- lated into English means "Devil" and every brzinch of the Trolle tree had an emblem of the ”Dc- vii" for their coat of arms. More devils than one would at first sup-l pcse existed. When Dr.l Jcggon was principal of Bennett College. Cambridge, he whippedl all the iindergraduates for some. trivial offense.

For Tomorrow

THIS promises to be a day of much activity and flood cheer for the young and the lively. whose affairs may be pushed to high climax by exceptional talents, mental or professional qualities of special development. as well as by personal charm and culture. The exceptional success of such activi- ties could be nullified by rushing without proper preparation or publicity. Forced issues or conten- tion could defeat very pleasant and propitious relations, romance and courtship or other affairs of youthful' pleasure-loving indulg- ences.

If It. In Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may look for a happy fulfillment of all youthful and pleasant associations. This holds true in a romantic as well as family. social and cultural aspiration Property and possess- ions increase uncler this rule. which, however. should not be put

inga and emotions. A calm. self- possessed and well-regulated pro- gram could win, whereas an eager. strenuous or forced course of action could invite failure. shun strife, wayward moves or flash de- cialon.

A child born on this day. while ardent. quick and vehement at times. also is gently. pleasure-low in: and gracious. Early discipline could assist to a happy life.
