WritEN the thermometer registers twenty below and some dear friend 'is it cold enough for you?" What are your worst thoughts? IN May, King Alfonso becomes the frioler of Spain. He will have attained the ripe age of sixteen years. And still 8pain is considered one of the enlight­ ened nations of the world. Just imag­ ine the people of the United States al­ lowing a sixteen-year-old to hold the sceptre over them. Connecticut Hrtbdlovr* Once upon a time---to bo more pre­ cise, In the latter part of the eighteenth century--thre lived a worthy Connecti­ cut divine named the Rev. Samuel Peters. Peters was a picturesque per­ sonage in his way, but his fame rests entirely upon the fact that he wrote a book. This Is one of the most mar­ velous works ever issued from the press. It was Mr. Peters, for example, who first discovered and made known to the world that the founder of Yale college was a Rev. Thomas Peters, evidently one of his own ancestors; that at Bellows Falls the water flowed so fast that It became as hard as mar­ ble, making it possible to float a crow­ bar upon it; that two most marvelous quadrupeds, the "whappermocker" and the "cuba" (evidently the ancestors of the jabberwock) roamed wild In the Connecticut forests, and it is also from Mr. Peters that we first learn of the famous Incursion of the Windham frogs. But it was in the early Jurisprudence of Connecticut that this expatriate made his most Interesting disceveries. He informed his English readers--and most of them believe the story de­ voutly to this day--that tbe citizens of the state were forbidden by law to rngke mince pies, to play on any in- strument of music except the drum, trumpet or jewsharp. and that every male must have his hat cut round, "ac­ cording to a cap." the model preferably being the hard shell of a pumpkin.-- Leslie'8 Monthly.

There are no prisoners in the Mc Henry county jail. County Clerk Geo. F. Rushton is making rapid progress on the tax books and the same will be ready for the col­ lectors in a few days. The remains of Mrs. A. T. Mont gomery were broqgot to this city on Saturday morning from Elgin and in ^ terment took place in Oakland ceme­ tery. The funeral of Mrs. W. P. Morse was held last Saturday from the residence, Bev. S. C. Hay officiating, and the re- tnains were taken to Nunda for inter Folding Beds. All purchasers of folding beds do not buy them solely for the sake of saving room. According to a manufacturer, some people with ample bouse room at command buy them, for one reason, so that the rooms In which they are placed can be put to other uses than as bed­ rooms. This manufacturer mentioned one New York family in whose house are eleven fine folding beds. Any room in the house designed for and equipped as sleeping room could easily be trans­ formed from a bedroom to one that had no appearance of a sleeping apartment whatever. There are produced nowadays folding beds of one kind and another that are sold at low prlees^but the most costly of the finer folding beds may easily be pretty dear affairs. The manufacturer told of one elab­ orately designed and finished folding bed that cost $1,000. the cost of the carving'alone having been $300.--New York Sun. Oar Unit of Value. The real, actual unit of value In the United States is the silver qtfarter. The dime is out of place. In the bar you get two drinks for a quarter; you buy two cigars for a quarter. One ci-' gar for 10 cents seems plebeian, so you take two for a quarter. In the restau­ rant you are ashamed to give the wait­ er a 10 cent tip and cannot afford to give him a quarter, but moral coward­ ice drives you to let him have the quarter^ The quarter is the most beau­ tiful silver coin in the world. It is of the most convenient size. Mix up a lot of dimes, nickels and copper cents in your pocket, and your sense of touch balks at distinguishing between them. You must haul out a handful of "chick­ en feed" for visual identification. A quarter you can tell from anything by the "feeL"--New York Press. y - r - . » £ .

It formerly was of great political im­ portance. It also enjoys the nickname of the Blue Hen State, this having been bestowed on account of a gentleman named Caldwell, who made the state famous in sporting annals by the qual­ ity of his gamecocks, which he always bred from the eggs of a blue hen, be­ lieving that this was the best color for the mother of a gamecock. Tke "Angry Tree." The "angry tree," a woody plant which grows from ten to twenty-five feet high, and which was formerly supposed to exist only in one state in the Union, Nevada, has been found both in eastern California and in Ari­ zona. If disturbed, this peculiar tree shows every sign of vexation, even to ruffling up its leaves like the hair on an angry cat and giving forth an un­ pleasant, sickening odor. Batters. There are pour batters, drop batters and doughs, all depending on the quan­ tity of fiour used with the liquid used. Generally speaking, one full measure of flour to a scant measure of liquid makes a pour batter, two full measures of flour a drop batter' and three full measures a dough. Something, of course, depends oti the liquid and the quality of the flour.

Historical "Bull*." - Grave historical writers are occasion­ ally guilty of what are called "Hiber- nicisms." The following passage oc­ curs in a popular history of France: "It Is extremely doubtful whether this prince, Merovaeus, ever existed at all, but he had a son, Cliilderic, whose existence is well authenticated." The following is also' from .a historic­ al work: "Like Samson of old, who, armed only with the jawbone of an ass, put 1,100 Philistines to the sword." A Brvtal Threat. Mrs. Jigsby (the discussion having become somewhat personal)--You may talk till doomsday, George Jigsby, but you'll never get me to admit that a wife is bound to do as her husband tells her. Mr. Jigsby--By gravy, madam, if 1 outlive you I'll have it engraved on your tombstone that you were a good and obedient wife!--Chicago Tribune. Good Coagh Sirup. The following is said to make a splendid cough sirup: Take one ounce of boneset. one of flaxseed, one of slip­ pery elm and a stick of licorice. Boil In soft water until the strength is ex­ tracted. Strain carefully and add one pint of best sirup and one pound of loaf sugar. Simmer together. Bottle up tight when cold and take a table- spoonful three or four times a day. Where Medical Knowledge Stopped. "No use talking." said the Invalid feebly. "I'm going to die, I know." "Oh, come!" expostulated bis friend. "The doctor doesn't say that, and he surely knows more than yon do." "No; he doesn't know, as I do, that 1 allowed my insurance to lapse."--Cath­ olic Standard and Times. j Farmer Tompkin and his girls will sing at Stoffel's hall February 7 and 8. I ̂ HEAD NOISES?
