FOR THE TABLE.EVERYTHING NEAT, SWEET AND SANITARY. ALL FOR FREEDOM Desperate Chances to Escape Taken by Prisoners.Even When Almost Certain Death ls Faced, Convicts Have Been Known to Go On With Their Efforts.Pepper got his cognomen from his method of highway robbery.Walking along the street in the evening, he car- rled an unlighted pipe between his teeth.When, In some lonesome spot, he suw a pedestriun stop to light a clgur, Pepper would accost him, asking hin to \u201chold the match.\u201d When the fellow traveler obliged, Pepper, instead of lighting his innocent-looking pipe, turned it toward the eyes of his victim, and blew hard.The pipe was of special construction and filled with red pepper.The victim, blinded by this horrible assault, could do nothing to defend hlmself until relleved of his valuables.- With two terms already behind him, Pepper was sent to Clinton, There he linmedlutely began to plan an escape, and In his plahs exhibited great cleverness, - He worked in the clothing shop of the prison.One piece at a time, working over a period of eight months, Pepper stole a complete clvillan outfit from the shop.The ensemble he hid in his pillow, Banging his way loudly, Pepper made for the warden\u2019s office.Without even knocking he stumbled in.The warden happened to be very busy at the moment, but this did not deter Pepper.\u201cI've come to sell you some meat!\u201d he declared confidentially.\u201cSergeant!\u201d bawled the warden, \u201ctake this d\u2014\u2014d pest and throw him out! le's bothering me!\u201d The sergeant came In and removed the obstreperous meat seller, dumping him outside the gates with force and relish.It was not until Pepper was across the 20 Intervening miles to Canada that he really allowed himself a good laugh.Pepper stayed out of the clutches of the law until five years later, when he was foolish enough to return to New York.At the same prison great courage enabled another break-out.Near the prison laundry stood an empty barrel.Taking the bottom out of tlds, four prisoners took turns at tunneling.After two weeks of Intermittent work they reached the wall, and excavated a small chamber there for work- 1ng purposes, Finally one of the huge slabs was Joosened, and worked forward to a point where it was almost about to topple Into the excavation, Here a terrible difficulty became apparent.It would be perfectly simple to release the slab, but the second it came out it would crush beyond recognition the man working In the excavation.The men tdlked it over gravely and decided that one of the number must be sacrificed that the other three might escape.\u2018They drew straws.By ironle chance G\u2014\u2014, the one of the four with more than an ordinary reason for escape, drew the shortest straw.His was the assignment.One of the others, pro- clalming himself unattached, offered to take his place, but G\u2014\u2014 refused.In the few seconds after his election he had formulated a scheme that might give him something of a chance to escape the slab when it fell.He took down a short piece of plank.This was insufiicient to stop the rush of the big stone, but he thought that, fn breaking, the wood probably would delay the fall long enough to permit him to squirm out of the way.Propping it in place, he grimly worked the slab until it gave way.It struck the plank, breaking It.Jumping back, G\u2014\u2014 endeavored to get out of the way.He succeeded\u2014 except for his right hand.This was mashed until lt was scarcely recognizable as a member.Gritting his teeth, he made no outcry, however, but turned to the work that yet remained.\u2014E.T.Bronedon, In Popular Mechanics Magazine.Guild Long in Service.An ancient Irish guild, the Gold- stuith's corporation, gave a dinner recently for the first time since before the war, at the Gresham hotel, Dub- Mn.The charter was granted by Charles 1 in 1637, was originally established for the purpose of hallmarking all articles of gold and silver wares that were brought to thelr offices for marking.It has

aware that we are shorter when standing than when lying, and taller In the morning than in the evening?An Englishman was the first to discover this, but afterward Doctor Marand of the Royal academy of France made several experiments to prove the theory.He found after a | year's trial that usually in the night he gained almost theee-eighths of an inch, and lost almost as much during the day.The cause of this is to be found In the different state cr condition of the cartilages which go to make up the spine.The joints of this part of our bod- les are separated and yet joined by particular bony substances, every one of which has a springy resillence.These are capable of yielding on all sides without bending the backbone or spine itself.Of course, the difference Is scarcely perceptible In one joint alone, but the combined effect is ap- preclable.Naturally, when the spline 1s supporting the weight of the head it is liable to contract, and we are tall er after lylng down for some time than after we have been walking about all day with our bodies in an upright position, with the spine supporting the welght of the head.At night time, when we lie down In a more or less horizontal position, these top parts do not weigh so heavily, and the springy muscles being expanded, our spines consequently become longer.Another proof of this is to be found in the Increase of height sometimes experienced by invalids who have spent a long time in bed; and also in the fact that the more rest a young cHild has, the taller he will grow.\u2014London Tit-Bits.This Toad Was a Vagrant.How she indulged in an experiment to determine the truth of the assertion recently made by a Youth's Companion contributor that toads have homing instincts, and was disappointed, Miss Dora Read Goodale tells in the Springfield Republican.Some time ago, she writes, I read that the unassuming toad has \u201cthe \u201choming instinct\u201d to as great a degree as the homing pigeons, and the assertion was supported by detailed accounts of various toads that were removed to a distance but returned to thelr native haunts even before their owner or landlord.Therefore, on a fine Sunday morning I caught In my garden a portly toad, whose puffy cor- pulency suggested that he had executed numberless flies, and, after tying a red thread round his leg like a badge of honor, I carried him, partly by automobile and partly on foot, three miles from home.When I gently deposited him near 8 mossy log by the wayside, he sat perfectly still for fully two minutes, as if getting his bearings; then, after winking two or three times and catching an ant or two with his lightning tongue, he gave a prodigious leap and disappeared in the undergrowth.I confess I had not much hope of seeing him again\u2014and I never have.No \u201cMute Inglorious Miltons.\u201d There are no \u201cmute, inglorious Mil- tons,\u201d although there are many inglorious persons who imagine that they are Miltons, writes St, John Ervine in the Manchester Guardian.A Milton may be \u201cInglorious\u201d for a period, but he never \u201cmute\u201d for a moment.Even the finglorious persons who imagine that they are Miltons, when they would be much better employed as haber dashers, are never mute, They are as a rule, more articulate than the Mil- tons, for they put into their tongues what they are unable to put into their pens, The problems of society in dealing with men of genius is not how to encourage them but how to keep them in order.It is probably true that in a disorganized nation the average Intelligent man, if he be reared in poverty, wilt fail to rise to his level, but it Is equally true that the man of genlus, however harsh his circumstances may be, will-fnd his level as certainly as water does.Some Feat.Mother was out for the evening, so father was putting the son and heir to bed.Moreover he was beginning to realize why his wife was so tired In the evening.\u201cNow.Ronald!\u201d he sald sternly, when the blankets had been drawn over the little figure, \u201cremember that 1 will be very cross if you aren't a good boy when I have gone downstairs.\u201d He left the room reassured by the awed silence which followed his words.But he had hardly reached the foot of the stairs when a shrill voice yelled: \u201cCome and tuck me In, farver!\u201d He lost his temper.\u201cTI won't!\u201d he retorted.and tuck yourself in.\u201d \u201cGet out War Divorces Increase.The: post-war divorce crush In England 1s steadily increasing and it was declared in London that no diminution {s in

upheaval in socla) conditions caused by the war.Nautical Information.Tenderfoot\u2014Why do you have knots on the ocean instead of miles?First Class Scont\u2014Well, you see they couldn't have the ocean tied If there were no knots.\u2014Yale Record.ALL FOR THE BEST Mr.Goslington Philosophizes on Human Ille.Finally Comes to the Very Wise Conclusion That Many S8eeming Misfortunes Are Really Blessings In Disguise.\u201cGllmmerby, my friend Gllmmerby,\u201d sald Mr.Goslington, \u201cpropounds the theory that both poverty and worry are conduclve to longevity, and I think there is something in that.I am net so sure about the worry, and yet I think even that may be truel I can see, for instance, that if a man worried hard enough he would keep himself lean and so escape the flis and inconveniences attendant upon obesity; but that poverty tends to lengthen life I have no doubt what: ever, \u201cThe man who is poor, as we most of us are, has to work for a living.Surely it 18 in work that we are most blessed; and If we have work to do fn which we are interested, that appeals to us, then are we fortunate indeed; we find a pleasure in labor and a joy In accomplishment ; and it makes me smile to think how in such work we forget our worries entirely.\u201cSo we don\u2019t really need to consider whether worry is a life prolonger or not; all we want to lengthen our days is to be poor, poor enough so that we have to work and keep plugging; but I do wonder that Gilmmerby did not mention along with poverty and worry, as among the things that might tend to prolong life, our physical ailments.\u201cSome years ago a friend of mine began to lose weight and he kept on in that way until he had lost 25 pounds, Then he consulted a doctor.It was something that could be checked, controlled and perhaps entirely cured if the patient would follow faithfully the prescribed treatment; and then he was told that the general benefits he would derive from the treatment were such that his life might be prolonged to a greater limit than it would have reached if he had never had this ailment at ail.\u201cI might add that this friend has now recovered several of his lost pounds, he is feeling very chipper and cheerful and He fully expects to live to be a very old man.\u201cThe fact is that many things that we may lcok at, when they come upon us, as drawbacks are in reality blessings in disguise.\u201d All Alike, Lady Astor, the American M.P,, told in London the other day a story about an antl-suffragist \u201cAnti-suffragists are all alike\u201d she sald.\u201cOnce I was canvassing for signatures to a petition about Lord Milner, the viceroy to India at that time.When I called on Mr.Boggs, the grocer, he read the petition carefully and then sald: \u201cWho fs this here Milner, ma'am?\u201c\u201cOur Indian viceroy,\u2019 said I.\u201c\u2018Wot's sa viceroy?said Mr, Boggs.\u201c \u2018A pro-consul, you know.\u2019 And I explained Lord Miiner\u2019s position in detail.\u201cMr.Boggs, satisfled, dipped his pen In the ink; then he looked anx- fously.~ \u201cYou're not lettin\u2019 tha women sign this, are you?he sald.\u201c\u2018Oh, no, indeed,\u2019 said L \u201cThat's right,\u2019 said Mr.Boggs, as he slowly traced bis signature.\u2018That's right, ma'am.Women don't know nothin\u2019 about these things.\u2019 \u201d Radium Economy.The use of radium on a large scale therapeutically involves danger of loss, and this factor has been a big one in inducing hospitals and clinics with a gram or more of the element in use to utilize radium emanation instead of applicators contalning the radium itself.There has been installed In a Pittsburg laboratory an elegant and useful apparatus for the collection, purification and tubing of radiation emanation obtained from a salt of the element.It differs from earlier apparatus in that liquid air is replaced by chemical means of purifying the emanation, which are felt to be more reliable,

DETROIT RIVER Waters Said to Conceal Valuables That Would Easily Bes Worth Millions of Dollars.While thousands are striving to stretch the shrinking dollar to meet the H.C.L.Ip Detroit these days, a fortune lies unclaimed In the bed of Detroit river.No one can estimute, even approximately, the value of the submerged treasure in dollars, but it is safe to assume that It will run Into the millions.Marine divers testify to the tons of copper ingot, coal, machinery, un- salvaged vessels and money scattered along the river bed from Windmill Point to Detroit River light.The banks and shelving beaches of the harbor line at and above Belle Isle are In shallow water, but the bank of the undivided river section below the island is built out to deep water, and explorations are more difficult than near Belle Isle.In recent years it has been known that money and jewelry to the value of $300,000 has been lost In the river.One rum runner lost $300 in a wallet while trying to escape federal officers by jumping overboard from a bout.A wealthy woman dropped a $7,000 necklace from a passenger boat when the string of gems broke as she leaned over the boat's rail.\u201c James McCabe, Immigration inspector, who \u2018patrois the Canadian border for Chinese smugglers, affirms that within the past ten years smugglers drowned Chinese to escape immigration officers who pursued the smuggler's boats, and in nearly every case the drowned Chinese had large sums of money concealed In their clothing.Neither the bodies nor the money have been recovered because the feet of the drowned Chinese were weighted with {ron.The engines of sunken wrecks If salvaged, would be as good as new today.marine engineers say.and their sale would bring large profits to sal- vagers.A rumor is current in local marine circles that a syndicate Is forming to operate In Detroit river at a certain point, kept secret, in the hope of recovering lost treasures.Just what treasures the syndicate seeks is not re vealed.Detroit police department officials say that the river holds the loot of many burglaries in Detroit.The thugs and cracksmen who dropped the loot Into the river, evidently noted carefully the direction of the currents so that at some opportune time they could return to recover their spoils.Valuable Material From Tree.\u201cBlackboy\u201d 18 a name commonly applied to the pecullar grass-trees (Xan- thorrhoea) .of western Australia, which grow to a height of 7 to 10 feet, and have thick blackened trunks with terminal tufts of wiry, grass-like leaves.The different species yleld an abundance of fragrant resin.In experiments by Henry Rowley, formerly clty analyst of Perth, the materials obtainable from these plants were studied, and methods were devised for extracting and treating the gum, pith and fiber.The company now formed for developing the products commercially has provided an equipment of retorts, furnaces, condensers, recelving tanks, etc., suffictent for utilizing a considerable quantity of what has been a vegetable waste.Among the useful substances obtalned are tars free from harmful acids, tarpaulin dressings, rope tar and sanitary tar, lacquers, steam and refrigerating pipe lagging, stalns and paints, pitches for marine insulating, phenol.benzol, alcohol, coke, potash, and pyroge- fous acid; and dyes, perfumes, formalin and various varnishes are expected to follow.His Prior Right A major in the steve(lore reglment employed one of his men to tnke care of his horses and do little chores around the yard.One day Sam came into the majors office, and he was some agitated man, After he had saluted he exclaimed, \u201cMajor, I want to be relieved from dis hyar job right now!\u201d The major asked him why he didn\u2019t want the job any more.\u201cMajor, that thar job is good enuff, but I just can\u2019t seem to get along with yo' all's wife.Seems every time I goes down to that thar house she puts me to doin\u2019 all kinds of

activities of the German spy system in the United States will never be written, but many interesting facts bave already appeared in print and many more will soon be told, for there is no longer any argent reason for concealing the excellent work of our own secret service in checkmating the moves of the enemy at home.Early in the war it became apparent that there were German operators at certain commercial wireless stations who were dispatching communications to Berlin and to the raiders.Inter- apersed in commercial messages, says that interesting book, The German Secret Service in America, the agente of the enemy, sprinkled code phrases, words, numbers\u2014a meaninglese and apparently innocent jargon.There were Americans shrewd enough, however, to become euapicious of this superficially careless sending, and their euspicione were confirmed through the invention of another shrewd American, Charles E.Apgar.He conbined the principles of the phonograph and the wireless in euch a way as to record on a wax disk the dots and the dashes of the message, precisely as it came through the receiver.The records could be studied and analyzed at leisure.At three o'clock every morning the great wireless etation at Nauen, near Berlin, uttered a bash of language into the ether.It was apparently not directed to anyone in particular, nor did it contain any known coherence.Unless the operator in America wore a DeForest audian detector, which picks up waves from a great distance, he could not hear it, and certainly during the early part of the war he paid no attention to it.The United States decided, however, that it might be well to eavesdrop, and so for more than two years every utterance from Nauen was tranecribed and filed away, or run off on the phonograph, in the hope that repetition might reveal the code.Until the code was discovered elsewhere, the phonographic records told no tales, but then the States Department found that it bad a priceless library of Prussian secrets.Tue diplomatic code was a dictionary, the pages of which were designated by serial letters and the words by serial numbers.Thus the message \u201c12-B-15-0-7\u201d signified the twelfth and fifteenth worde on the second page, and the seventh word on the third page.The dictionary was one of a rare edition.To complement the diplomatic codo the Deutsches Bank, the German foreign office and their commercial representatives, Hongo Schmidt and Dr.Albert, had agreed upon an arbitrary code that proved to be one of the most difficult that the American authorities have ever had to decipher.Simple phrases, such as might readily pass uny censor without arousing suspicion, passed frequently through the Sayville station.The message, \u2018Expect father to-morrow\u2019 meant \u201cThe political situation between America and Germany grows worse.It is imperative that you take care of your New York affairs.\u201d \u2018\u2018Depot\u201d meant \u2018Securities\u2019; \u2018\u2018Depot Pritchard\" meant \u2018Securities to be held in Germany\u201d; \u201cDepot Cooper\u201d meant *\u2018Securities to be forwarded to some neutral country in Europe.\u201d Schmidt himself had the following aliases: John Maley, Roy Woolen, Sidney Pickford, George Brewster, 175 Congress Street, Brooklyn, James Frasier, or Andrew Brodie.Dr.Albert was mentioned as John Herbinson, Howard Ackley, Leonard Hadden or Donald Yerkes.James W, Gerard, the American ambassador at Berlin, was Wilbur Mc- Donald.America was Fremessi or Alfred Lipton.The phrase \u2018Hughes recovered\u2019\u2019 was translatable ae \u2018\u2018agreed,\u2019\u2019 whereas \u2018\u2018Percy died\u201d meant \u2018\u2018disagreed.\u201d The chiet significance of the discovery of the two codes is the conclusive proof that, while Bernstorff was protesting to the American government that he could not get messages through to Berlin or replies from the foreign office, he was actually in daily, if not hourly, communication with his superiors.After the break of diplo- raatic relations with Berlin, the authorities set to work decoding the messages, and the State Department from time to time issued for publication certain proofs of Germany's violation of American neutrality.The ambassador and his Washington es.tablisbhment had served for two years and a half as the \u2018central exchange\u201d of German affairs in the Western world.After his departure communication from German spies here wus handicapped ouly by the time required to forward information to Mexico; from that point to Berlin air conversation continued uninterrupted.Pte.E.R.Massé, now employed by the Canada Paper Co., Windsor Mills, has received the Mona Star, with

in October, 1919, Greater Than Any Previous Month.More official tuberculin testing of cattle was conducted during October, 1919, than In any previous month of fany year, according to a summary just issued by the bureau of animal industry, United States department of agriculture.During the menth 57,270 cattle were tested by state and fed- ern! veterinarians engaged in co-op- erative

Troughs and Qther Facilities Should Be Cleaned and Put in Shape.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Before turning cuttle that have been kept in the barn or lot during the winter onto a pasture a good water supply should be carefully provided for.Ponds, springs, watering troughs or other facilities for watering should be cleaned and put into shape.It 1s frequently thought that the water supply is abundant early !n the season \u2018and therefore that no attention need be given to it.This is a mistake, as \u2018springs and ponds fill up during the winter and troughs become damaged Greatest Importance.80 they fail to hold sufficient water for the needs of the cattle.In most ses the water supply cannot be materially inreased, so care must be taken to conserve what is available.It is advisable to fence around springs jto prevent the cattle from tramping ithe earth and polluting the water.{The maximum use of water from a spring can be obtalned hy providing \u2018two\u2019 or three troughs set so that the overflow from one will run Into the vext one.This arrangement not only makes the water more accessible to the stock but keeps It cleaner and better, COLLAR FOR MATURE HORSES Where Animal's Weight Does Not Vary During Year Leather Is Most Suitable.The best collar for the mature

any other writer for the last quarter century In Italy.I !s most famous operas were written in collaboration with Guiseppe Glacosa, and are \u201cBoheme,\u201d \u201cFedora,\u201d \u201cManon\u201d and \u201cAdriana.\u201d He wrote \u201cIris\u201d and \u201cMaschere\u201d with collaboration, and has at least forty less famous operas to his credit.Many composers drew upon him for plot and lines, says the Detroit News.Although he was fifty-eight years old when Italy entered the world war, Ilica volunteered for service and was with the artillery for one year.He suffered a fall from which he did not fully recover, and was forced to give up military duty.His latest important opera score was that of \u201cIsabeau,\u201d for which Mascagni supplied the music.The opera was received with indifference, which discouraged Iiica, There was conslid- erable discussion about alterations made in the libretto by the composer and director, and Illica sald the production gave an entirely wrong interpretation of his work.ea Better Postage Stamps.Whether or not one is interested In postage stamps, exceptas a very temporary possession, a lick and a prome ise, one might say, that the post office will deliver the letter, it is pleasant to know, on the word of a writer on philately, that the new stamps that come after the war are much finer artistically than those which formerly circulated.The subject offers itself to an essayist; and his study would perhaps show a steady improvement during the last few decades In the ar tistic quality of many everyday things, colns, banknotes and advertisements, for example, that prepared the way for the artistry of the posters that played so large a part in the war, and now expresses Itself In the design of the new postage stamps.Artists of distinction, in fact, have been called upon to design many of the new stamps, as during the war they designed many of the posters.\u2014Christlan Science Monitor.Made Study of Ocean

the Rein, \u201cIt ent your liver which Is wrong, it is your will power!\u201d may possible be the exclamation of the doctor In the near future.Instead of sending round to the chemist for salts and senna, the man who feels his nerves to be jangled, his digestion to be rotten and a taste in his mouth Ike sucked pennies, will call in the men with the ladders, the paste bucket and the slapdash brushes.Many a man thinks he is bad tempered and takes himself seriously to task, as he reads his paper in the train, for having left behind him a family In tears, when really, he is perfectly innocent.If he did break out and say things and slam doors and throw things about and ask who had been chopping firewood with his best razor and call the breakfast bacon \u201cputrid\u201d\u2014it probably was\u2014it wus not that he was \u201cratty,\u201d but that the wallpaper all over his house was enough to give a rhinoceros a thin skin, a writer in London Answers asserts.In the days before wallpapers were invented the world bred quite a large and regular crop of saints.The reason no new salnt ever appears on the horizon is due to wallpapers.Who could be a saint and live with the atrocious convolutions, evolutions and pyrotechnics of \u201cthe modern wall paper?The thing is impossible.A wall covered with a fruit salad of cherries, with leaves to match, may be borne with for a day, or even a week, but when it comes to living with It a whole year, and often much more, it gets on the nerves and frays the edges of the nervous system.Then there Is the flower paper, a few degrees worse than the frult salad contraption.A little red rose or two scattered broadcast on a nlce, creamy background may be all right, but when it comes to what the Covent garden porter calls \u201cA market bunch\u201d repeated all over the wall 520 times it is calculated to send a Galapagos tor- tolse into hopping madness.Then it is a funny thing how wallpaper designers love big flowers.They wouldn't be seen looking at a dalsy or a primrose, but put a sunflower or a dahlia or a rhododendron or a prize chrysagthemum or some mixture of all these which makes a flower no one ever saw outside an oplum dream and they go for it with avidity and reproduce it by the hundred gross!

Dig for Egyptian Temples.An appeal for funds to carry on the excavation of Egyptian antiquities un & larger scale than ever before contemplated was sent out by the Egyptian Exploration Fund from its American headquarters at Boston, the New York Times states.About $10,000 is necded to reopen the excavation of ancient civilization where many relics were found before the war stopped the work.The appeal says: \u201cTwo monumental undertakings are the clearance of the eleventh and eighteenth dynasty temples of Deir el Banari, visited by every tourist at Thebes, and at Abydos, the Osirelon, the temple of the underworld, dedicated by Merenptah, Pharaoh of the Exodus, and richly decorated by him with texts from the \u2018Book of the Dead.This great excavation, halted by the wër, employed 683 fellaheen (native workmen) and awaits completion.It is the ona remaining architectural puzzle of Egypt.\u201d Fit Yourself to Conquer, You must see the rainbows In the future If you would be a builder who touches men.You must forget the lowering clouds and impending storms, Their present hindering will but swell the tide flowing your way later.There's something godlike in the enthusiastic soul.Enthusiasm paints its own stars in the mental firmament and then draws from them light.You might as well try to pull the sun from the sky as to hinder the youth who is led by enthusiasm.His life is too buoyant to be held down by oppression.Injustice merely makes him a martyr and wins the crowds to him.And when he feels the opposition of unthinking men he will rise to greater heights as he thrills those who listen with the story of his wrongs.What he gees or thinks he sees makes him {irre gistible and fits him to conquer.\u2014Grit, The Cynical!

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Tliting Platform Arranged So That Hens May Liberate Themselves by Stepping on It.The following fs one of the simplest methods of enabling hens to open the henhouse door in the morning, thereby relieving their owner of the neces- alty of rising at daybreak to let them out.The door of the henhouse is hinged at the top, so that it opens outward, and the lower edge catches against the floor, so that it cannot swing inward.Near the lower edge on the outside a cord is attached, which passes upward over two small pulleys hanging from a beam.The other end of the cord supports a tin «can weighted with stones, so as to be Just heavy enough to pull the door open and keep it so.On the floor of the henhouse, right in front of the door, is a tilting ptatform, vith a hook in the front edge, which fits an eye screwed into the door.The door can therefore be locked at night by catching the hook in the eye, and the pull of the cord against the door on the outside has the effect of making the hook hold securely.When the own- «
