Cleghorn and R. Do ' . Grimmer were summoned and strong salts were administered with other . remedies. Mrs. Sawyer was delirious for six hours and In a critical condi- tion. Mrs. Trask and the maid re sponded more quickly to the treat- ment , but It took three days for them to regain their normal condition. S , . . Members of E. D. W. Blecker's and \ ' ' ) Qr.

" Dr. Reder further announces that he or some other attache of the health department would visit every res I- dence each week to see that the new rules were being obsrved. As soon as the new health laws be came known there was trouble In Au rora. Former Senator A. J. Hopkins said he thought the regulations were "sane and conservative , " but there were others who wondered how Dr. Reder would be able to satisfy him self on his inspection tours , whether the once a week bath had been taken as required. "That may be a puzzler occasional ly , " said the doctor , "but If I should hale the wrong man , woman or child Into I court , wouldn't it be a matter of evidence ? The wise ones will have their alibis - I mean they will be able , . to show that they took their dip or soak or whatever the variety was. Proof will lie with members of the family , you know , or receipts at the barber shop. " Every portable bathtub In Aurora was bought up within an hour after Dr. Reeder's proclamation was made. Dealers in plumbing supplies all , sent in I rush orders for bathroom equip ) mentand m hot water attachments for kitchen stoves. The towel depart ment of the dry goods stores did a rushing business. Drug stores made record sales of shower apparatus. I Next to the bathing regulations , the ban on flies most excited Auroraites. ; Although Dr. Reder told inquirers he "did not intend to be unreasonable , " he wouldn't say how many flies to the cubic yard would be allowed without a. penalty. However , less blue bottle flies than : o f the oi inary or garden variety will , b : e permitted. He suggested that par- ] nts : offer rewards of say five cents c i hundred to stimulate the activity : ) f their children with wadded news s apers.

" - - - - - - - - - - - RIDES A BUCKING PORPOISE. - . : hw hs Too Big to Land by hook and Line Sea . Denizen Gives Fisherman Startling Experience. New York. - Captain Charles Penny , Glanders , L. I. , is probably the first man who has , , successfully ridden a bucking porpoise. The porpoise was a big bull , head of a herd ot twenty , which had Interfered with the fishing of Penny and his asso- ciates. They decided to shoot him and did wound him. Then they found they had no boathook to land their prize. "Wait a minute , boys ; I'm goingto have that fellow , " said Penny. With- out removing shoes , clothes or hat , he leaped l overboard , landed astride of the broad back of the fish , twisted his feet around his body and his arms around the neck and hung on. The fish found a new spark of life when this unlooked for enemy landed on his upper deck. He gave a snort and dived for the bottom of Peconic bay. bay.This , . This did not frighten Penny , for he is about as much at home in the water as the porpoise , and , as to speed , he had attempted some of that on land in running an automobile. He knew , too , that the fish would have to come to the surface very quickly to blow , for he was three-quarters dead before the excursion started. So he held on. When the porpoise did come up , a minute or so later , Penny was a long way from his boat , but still astride the porpoise. So he reached around the porpoise's head with one arm and rammed a big fish hook into its nose. The fish made another feeble effort to get away , but it was no use. "Hey ! you fellows ! Come over here ind get your fish ! " shouted Penny to lis fellow-fishermen. The combined strength of the men I - could. not lift the fish to the boat , so u. Mr. Porp was towed -Riverhead , r where it took seven men to pull him : r out on the dock. . A. The fish measured 91 > feet and weighed more than five hundred pounds. His body is nearly as large d : as a flour barrel.

"The absence of such coinage , " he says , "has resulted in the universal fal custom of the sellers taking the half gro cent whenever a transaction does not tei result in even money. I suppose it ! piI would be a safe estimate to say that les each family loses the half cent on an average of ten times a week , resulting J I in their paying $2.60 a year above the tr trj price of articles purchased. dis "There are about 15,000.000 families th : in the United States , exclusive of the fat merchants , and figuring on the basis rai mentioned , they are losers yearly fro this cause the approximate sum $39,000,000.

Light shining on potatoes colors them and injures the flavor. To retain soil moisture a loose mulch of between two or three Inche is necessary. Underfeeding and overfeeding are both wasteful as is also feeding one article of dIet. A pig can be raised by the hand method as easily as a calf , If the same pains are taken with It. Pounds of meat or amount and qual ity of other products that an animal I will provide are what count. If a sow proves a good breeder , there is no reason why she should not be kopt as long as she produces strong pigs. : To the Intelligent corn grower a weedy field spells a shiftless farmer who is fooling with his chances of suc cess.
