Aimorc mnn asked me the other day, "Why doesn't the housewife ninke pumpkin pics In the spring when fresh eggs nre cheapest?" Why, Indeed? The fnct Is we nre creatures of hnblt, and nre Inclined to follow tra ditions In our cooking. Our forcmoth crs innde pumpkin pies In the fnll be cause the pumpkins nre ripe nt thnt time. s'ho continued the pies through the cold weather ns long ns she could keep pumpkins in her cool cellnr. Thanksgiving nnd Chrlstmns dinners always Included pumpkin pie. The puihpkln supply was exhausted nbout this time, nnd therefore no more pump kin pies were possible until the next autumn. Times haTe changed. Now we have the pumpkin In sanitary enns all ready for the pie, nnd we can use It nt nny time we plense. Pumpkin tnkes the plncc of fruits, which nre already scarce as time goes on. The springtime Is the time for pump kin plcs-r-eggs and milk nre then most plentiful, nnd therefore cheap. It Is the time for custards. Our grandmoth ers established that custom, too. Pump kin pie Is after nil n custnrd In which the pumpkin pulp predominates, there fore belongs by right In the spring nnd summer. This Is Just one more Instance In which we should drop the traditions which are outgrown nnd adopt u cus tom suited to our times. Our family Is sure to be surprised to And the luscious pumpkin pie served for dessert, and undoubtedly, llko Oliver Twist, It will ask for more. Exchnnge. SALE OF PUREBREDS and High Grade Live Stock. Tuesday, September SAW MERIT IN TRANSLATIONS James Russell Lowell Pointed Out How They Come to Serve a Very Definite Purpose. I would have n public library nbnndnnt In translations of the best books In all lnnguages, for, though no work of genius can be ndequately translated . . . yet some ncqunlnt nnce with ancient and foreign litera tures lias the liberalizing effect of for eign travel. He who travels by trans lation travels more hnstlly nnd su perficially, but brings homo something that Is worth having, nevertheless. . . . Looked nt from nny but the esthetic point of view, translations re tain whatever property was In their orlglnnls to enlarge, liberalize, nnd re fine. At the same time I would also hnve the originals of these translated books as a temptation to tho study of lnnguages, which has a special use and Importance of its own In teaching us to understand the niceties of our mother tongue. The practice of trans lation, by making us deliberate In the choice of the best equivalent of the foreign word in our own language, has likewise the advantago of continually schooling us In one of the main ele ments of a good style precision; nnd precision of thought is not only exem plified by precision of lnngunge, but Is lnrgely dependent on the habit of It.

The Drumlins, Between Syracuse and Rochester, N. Y., Make Exquisite Bit of Scenery. Between Syracuse and Rochester lies a country of hills, known as drum llns, which Is oue of tho most beautiful and unique bits of scenery In the eastern United States. The term drumlln is nn Irish ono and Is applied to low, rolling hills of glacial origin which exist In that coun try, and also In pnrts of New York and New England. This section between Syracuse nnd Rochester Is the very heart of the American drumlins. Most American mountains and hills were formed by violent disturbances of tho enrth's surface, and their rude origin Is reflected in their ruggedness. But tho drumlins were built by tho great Ice sheet which once covered nil of North America. The materlnls of which they are mado were pushed to gether slowly by the crnwllng glaciers molded and tnmped and smoothed by the great ice fingers as a child makes mud pies. The drumlins look as though they had been designed by some grent In telligence with a sense of beauty, for they rise In smooth, gentle curves, like those of a perfect human body. They are rcmnrkably uniform In height, usually a little less than 200 feet, nnd to smooth and lenient are their slopes that many of them are culti vated to their summits. Some of them nro as round as half an apple, and oth ers lire long welts or rolls. Scattered among the hills nro a num. ber of smnll lakes and ponds, clear and pretty, and there Is good fishing In many of them. The drumlins nro a favorite playground of tho people In Syracuse, Rochester and other nearby towns, but they nro JIttle known bo yond the counties In which they lie. TO RESTORE FAMOUS PARK Before and After. They were both suffragists ono very pretty nnd young and tho other much older. Tho older ono voiced her views very emphatically for tho younger one's benefit. "I think It's very Imprnctlcal for women to get married before they nro thirty-five," she said. Tho young suffragist retorted in stantly, "Yes, and I think It's very im possible for them to get married after they are thlrtraflvo." "Key Money," In many districts of England, and particularly In Yorkshire, whoro tho dearth of houses in acute, tho prnctico of paying "key money" is growing. So keen are prospective tenants to get into a house directly it la vacant that as much ns $50 to $100 Is offered to tho occupier for tho key, this transac tion generally carrying wltl) It tho un derstanding that the landlord will te mpt the succeeding tenant Impressionable Fowls. Sunshine seems to piny an Impor tant part In the lives of fowls. There Is no doubt that they lay much mora regularly, and nppoar generally hap pier, when la the sunlight. The next best thing to sunshine In this dull old country Is a light which gives to the fowls the Impression that tho sun Is shining. Fortunately the fowl is easily de ceived, with the result that a great deal of success has attended the ex periments of a well-known engineer who Is building fowl-houses with a material similar- to canvas, stained and varnished so that the house Is always lighted In the daytime with ljght o,f a pleasant golden color. By moans of electric light placed outside, tho fowls can easily bo made to think the sun Is nlways shining; and so successful have been the results that a furm Is being established on these lines. Bowling Green, With Its Ancient Fence, Will Again Become Show place of New York. Modern New York will probably bet ter appreciate Its Bowling Green fence, roeoyered and restored to view by the Broadway association, far the Incidental publicity of the restoration. When tho fence was new, Bowling Green was an Important pnrt of the town, and tho New Yorkers 'of 1770 considered It well worth while to Im port the fence from England nnd pay 800 for It. One Is reminded that, short ly before the fence was put up, the loy nl citizens, grateful for the repeal of tho Stamp net, had adorned Bowling Green with a leaden equestrian statue of George III. For n while fence and stntue stood there together: then tho Revolution came, and the "Liberty Boys" pulled the statue from Its ped estal. The fence remained till 1014, minus the gilt crowns that the "Lib erty Boys" had hammered off the tops of the fence posts, but tho famous park, lost In the growing city, was gradually neglected. When the fenco returns tp It, the pnrk will be replanted with shrubbery, and Bowling Green innde as much ns possible like Its historic self. Christian Sclenco Monitor. COUNTRY NOT RIGHTLY NAMED Ticklish, Isn't It? Is there a problem which, porhups, Is more likely to bo answered some day than this one, which has been pro pounded to tho bowllderment of scien tists. Suppose a pipe which would permit of the passage of a man's body were pierced through tho earth from Lon don to the Antipodes, and a man com menced to descend by means of a lad der running the length of tho pipe. Naturally ho would descend feet fore most. On reaching the center of tho earth ho would, on account of tho revolution and formation of tho globe, presumably be going upwards until he emerged in the Antipodes. Query: How can a ladder on which one Is descending become a ladder on which one is uscendlng? And how could one go up a ladder feet fore most? Next, please I Submarine Not Yet Perfect In. spite of the fact that the British have sorao stenm-drlven 2,700-ton sub marines capable of a surface speed of from 23 to 25 knots, tho submnrlno as a weapon of war Is too slow and too blind when It Is submerged to be considered a serious weapon of naval warfare. When it can see electrically to a distance of ten to fifteen miles while It Is submerged so deeply as to ho Invisible to the air scout, nnd when It can steam 20 knots submerged It will dominate the naval situation, says Scientific Amerjcun. Iceland by No Means the Barren Waste Which Appellation Would Seem to Imply. Iceland suggests to many people a land of glacial coldness populated by fur-clad shivering natives, probably Eskimos. The real Icelander wears clothes no warmer than those needed In Cannda. Ills winters nre usually no more severe than those of Canada. ThCjIcelander Is not an Eskimo. IIo Is a descendant of tho falr-halred Vik ings. Nothing excites an Icelander more thnn to have some one pleasant ly ask him If It Is ever warm In Ice land and If any flowers grow there. Thnt Iceland Is so misunderstood Is entirely the fault of the Norse explor ers who landed on tho Island and felt obliged to name It As It was a cold day and the land was frozen beneath a blanket of snow, they thoughtlessly called It Iceland and departed hastily. Ilad they first visited the Island on a spring day, when the wind blew across the broad plains, they might have felt tho vastness of the place and with jqual carelessness called It Greatlnnd. Tho name Iceland wns officially ndop't ed and Instantly became tho Island's hoodoo. . Summer In Iceland Is warm, some times hot In June the sun pours down upon tho plains continuously save for a few minutes nt midnight. Another unlcelandlc phase of Iceland nre the hot springs which spout up steaming water. To this hot water supply tho women carry their wash ing ns a matter of convenience. Iceland Is not a land of luxuriant vegetation or perfect climate. It Is a fairly prosperous little country that struggles bravely against Its handi caps, not the least of which Is the world's attitude of persistent mlsun derstandlr , They Wouldn't Suit Her. Mary Plckford was talking about the new French fashions. "The French," sho said, "are trying to bring the long skirt back again," Sho frowned slightly. Then, as she glanced down at her little shoe, her brow cleared. Tare's no doubt," she said, "that lonff skirts would suit some girls down to the ground." China After Industries. Chinese government agents hnve been sent to several countries to study the manufacture of telegraph and telephouo equipment with u view to producing all such apparatus at home. -::o::- Dr. II. C.
