g&BP-s**' k' V? f» WCb WO'"" Charles Francis Murphy, erstwhile Tammany TXSB, was one of the "sights" of New York but seldom seen. And seldom heard as well, for tha matter of that. If his people were to crown bits they doubtless, would call him Charles the Silent, or Charles the Listener. For of all leaders in political' organization life he talked the least and listened the most, He was -willing, often eager, to re ceive suggestions. And he wae not the least particular from whom they came. But be never commented on them. He packed them away in the recesses of mi active brain and they were there when he wanted to use them. Among the many Improvements in y.the postal service since the Inaugura tion of the IBV administration prob ably none will he more beneficial to the country generally than those com ing under the "bureau of the fourth as sistant, over "which Hon. James 1. Blakslee of Pennsylvania presides To his new post 3Ir. Blakslee brought a sunny and genial disposition coupled with those sterner qualities which are the attributes of what, in the slang of the day,.is termned a "live wire." The bureau over which the new officer presides has aider it three important divisions the great division of rural mails with its army of nearly 100,000 rural delivery and star route carriers. the important division of supplies and equipment wl!«h handles the supplies and equipment MINISTER TO GREECE CHARLES THE LISTENErt He learned this lesson from Richard Croker, so lis intimates say. Croker •was a successful leader until he be gan to talk. 'The instant the old man opened his mouth his Influence and prestige beg»n to wane," recalled a seared and se&mied Tammanyite who should know, Murphy also combined the policy of silence with the equally important policy of having few intimates. There probably were not more than half a dozen men with whom he really was friendly—men with whom be put aside his professional reserve and talked freely. These were the men who, it 1b said, shaped his thoughts for him, smoothed oft the rough edges of his speech_when he had something to say, or helped in the prepa ration of statements" for the public. In this particular he was the best counseled boss Tammany ever had. He has Veen decisively beaten twice during his leadership, which began In 1903. His first defeat came when he tried to ielect William F. Sheehan to the United States senate to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. The other defeat was more decisive, and occurred only recently.

In placing Mr. Blakslee at the head of this branch of the postal service the president and the postmaster general had in mind a number of reforms and improvements and the record that he has made in the few months since his appointment fully vindicates the wisdoin of their selection. 3 George Fred Williams of Boston has been selected by President Wilson for minister to Greece. Mr. Williams con siders hie selection by President Wil son as minister to Greece as a recog nition of those "who have been follow ers of true Democracy" rather than personal tribute. He expressed pleas ure at the possibility of residence in I Greece, as he has long been a staident of Athenian democracy and believes the diplomatic mission will present an opportunity for him to extend his studies. Mr. Williams has for years been known in Massachusetts and in many other states as an unusually able pub lic speaker. He was born in Dedham July '10, 1852.'

William Booth, is popularly credited with having originated many of the "material" schemed of the Army, the truth is that his spn whip ped into shape a majority of the plans for the uplift of people. One of these is the life insuranca company which the army operates In ^connection with its work in London. Some persons criticized the project, asserting that it was a purely com mercial enterprise, having no more right to ask for popular support than any other life insurance company in Great Britain.

SEED MUST BE DRIED Interesting and Instructive Data ^Regarding Storage. Corn Treated With Artificial Heat In Well Ventilated Rooms Gave Highest Percentage of Germi nation in Experiment. Some data regarding storage, germ ination and resulting stand of several farmers corn scattered widely over the central section of the cpuntry may prove helpful to our readers. The fall of the beginning of the tests was ideal in regard to ripening and curing seed corn. The average germ ination of the corn secured then was 76.4 per cent. It ranged from 93 per cent, for kiln dried corn to 38 per cent for corn taken from cribs. The following summer the section suffered a severe drouth—with an early frost Much of the crib corn mildewed. The effect on subsequent germination was very marked, the average for the next spring being only 55.5 per cent. The lowest germination, 1% per cent., was that of corn standing in the shock during the winter. Corn cured in well ventilated garrets or rooms made a good average, and corn fire dried germinated 90 per cent. A study of the records of many tests shows .that seed corn dried with arti ficial heat in well ventilated rooms during the first two or three weeks after picking, gave the highest germ ination—an average of 91.6 per cent for the two years. Next to this is corn cured in furnace rooms with open windows where the heat was applied immediately after bringing the corn from the field. Well ventilated rooms A method of curing seed corn, which is too commonly practiced. The aeed thus dried give's less than half the crop, since Its vitality Is injured by undue exposure. with more than one window gave germination of 86.5 per cent. Corn cured under porches protected from rains gave 70 per c«nt. Corn in barns, tool houses, etc., 69 per cent. Germ ination of corn kept in granaries and on windmills gave only 37.5 and 34 per cent, respectively. In this study of seed curing much corn which was left lying In piles or standing in sacks, for even a short time after husking, fras completely destroyed. The only safe way of curing seed corn is therefore to place the corn immediately after picking in a well ventilated room and apply stove or other artificial heat for from one to three weeks. Breeding Dairy Cows. Breeding pure dairy cows is not an eafiy business. Success mean's an im mense amount of hard work, frequent failure and disappointment. The foun dation must be good to begin with and If mistakes are made the way must be retracted to correct them and re pair the damage. Ashes for Hogs.

RAISING HORSES FOR PROFIT Dr. Alexander Urges Home Produc tion of Stallions to Replace Scrubs, Mongrels and Grades. The principles to be followed by farmers in improving their horse stock are: The use of sound, pure-bred sires of a particular breed, the use of sound mares, the feeding and care of the mare and foal and the working of the stallions regularly. Dr. Alexander of the Wisconsin experiment station, further urges the home production of Profitable Specimen. pure-bred stallions to replace the grades, mongrels and scrubs too often used at present He urges that grade horses replace scrubs in farm teams. The organiza tion of community associations will greatly facilitate the promotion of horse-breeding, and the encourage ment of the industry may be furthered by prizes at county fairs for pure bred stallions, mares and colts. The evil effects which result from the use of unusual si es and dams, and the transmission of hereditary dis eases is especially emphasized. It should be easily possible to Increase the value of Wisconsin horses at least $10 per head during the next five years, the author points out, by the use of sound stallions and mares, and this would mean an addition of at least $7,000,000 to the total value of horse stock of the state. AXLE GREASE SAVES MONEY Wheele of All Farm Vehicles Should Be Carefully Examined to Avoid Unnecessary Wearing. When you hear the wheels of a wagon or any kind of farm machinery squeaking, be sure the squeaks cost the owner money, because ^the axles are beiug cut to pieces. There is a great difference in axle grease and the only way to know which has the best adhesive qualities is by actual test. Cheap grease is generally dear. 1 Axle grease that quickly wears off increases the friction, this pulls -the flesh off the team and flesh costs money. The wheels of all vehicles- and ma chinery should be carefully examined often. It will not do to be caught with dry wheels when away from home or in the midst of a busy day In the harvest field. Scabies In Cattle. The requirements relating to dips for scabies in cattle have been that the tobacco dip should contain not less than fire hundredths of one per cent, of nicotine and two per cent, flowers of sulphur. Recently this or der has been amended, permitting the use of the tobacco dip prepared from tobacco and suitable tobacco prod ucts, provided it contains not less than seven hundredths of one per cent, of nicotine. The tobacco dip of the new strength need not contain the sulphur. Corn Fed Poultry. The heavy feeding of corn to poul try, especially where there Is an ab sence of good, hard, sharp grit, will bring, on^ bad cases of indigestion, which in many ways resembles chol era. About 92 cases out of a hundred of reported cholera victims are cases of Indigestion. The end is the same, but the latter disease is not conta gious.v New Breed of Dairy Cattle. A new breed of dairy cattle known as the Illawarra breed has been de veloped in New South Wales. It was obtained by crossing shorthorns, long horns, Devons and Ayrshires. This new breed of cattle has become a favorite for dairying In the Illawarra district, New South Wales, though It Is hardly known in America. Eggs by Weight. Eggs should be sold by weight rath er than by the dozen. They vary so widely as to size and weight that the seller or the buyer Is sure to lose when sold by the count If sold by the pound, both get Justice because If the eggs are small it requires more to weight a pound. Progress in Dairying. Real progress In dairying begins wben by mental labor we hate suc ceeded inI starting the sweat on our brows. ONLY FLAKY PASTRY NOTHING ELSE 4S FIT FOR HOUSE HOLD TABLE. Care In Making Pies Is Well Repaid In the .Enjoyment of the Delica cies—Suggestions That May Be of Value. Judgment and taste is good in choosing pie for dessert, providing It is the kind of pie which is made from a pure vegetable fat, and g&od material is put between this vegetable fat pastry. Every woman who does her cook ing should know how to make nice flaky pastry. She can make enough for two or three days and keep It in the refrigerator ready for use at any tijne. Pies are not the only desserts which can be made from pastry, and if good, plain paste is once accom plished, then it is only a step high er in. making puff paste, which de lights any housekeeper when she suc ceeds in making it light and flaky. Jt may be used in patty shells. lady locks and turnovers. The plain ^pastry makes dainty tarts,- turnovers, meat patties, fish patties and cases for ap ple tart pies,' lemon and many other pies of like nature. Cranberry Pie.—Materials—Cranber ries, one cup seeded raisins, half cup sugar, three-quarters cup egg. one flour, one tablespoonful lemon juice, one tablespoonful. Directions—Cut the cranberries and raisins in halves before measuring mix well with all the remaining In gredients and bake between two crusts for a pie dr turnovers. They may also be baked in patty pans with fancy twisted strips of the pastry over the top. Orange Filling for Pies and Tarts Materials—Sugar, one cup orange Juice, half cup flour, three table epoonfuis lemon Juice, oue tabli spoonful butter, one tablespoonful orange, one eggs, two pastry (plain.) IHrections.—Cover an inverted pie pan or patty pans with a good, plain pastry, pricking It well with a fork. Bake a delicate brown. Put the sugar and flour, well mixed, into the double boiler. All the grated rind of the orange, lemon and orangejuice, and the eggs lightly beaten. Stir over the fire until, it begins to thicken and stir occasionally In the double boiler while It cooks about 15 minutes. Add the butter and cool a little. Fill the baked pastry and cover with a meringue made from the whites of "two eggs, beaten stiff, and- two table •poonfuls of powdered sugar added, and beat again. Flavor with one tea spoonful of vanilla, and bake In a slow oven until the meringue is well puffed and a bright brown. Half of the same filling Is fine for layer cakes •Alice Getchell Kirk In Cleveland Leader. The Handsome Husband. In Germany the view Is gaining ground that good looking men are the cause of most unhappy marriages, and "League Against Beauty" has actual ly been started there for the purpose of preventing women from taking to themselves handsome husbands! The founder of this strange league is a woman who is herself very pretty, but she says that she ha^made care ful investigations and out of 18 cases of unhappy marriages 12 were caused by the fact that the husbands were very handsome. The league has al ready a fairly large number of mem bers, all of whom are pledged only to choose ugly men for their life part ners. That there Is something In this Meai curious as it may seem, Is evi dent by the- fact that most extreme ly pretty women seem unconsciously to choose husbands who are devoid of real handsomeness. Desiccated Fruits. We have passed in a single genera tion from the era of dried apples,to that of desiccated fruits. Both the language and the menu are richer for the change. Soldiers and sailors, campers and explorers have now a longer and more wholesome ration list and thoBe of us who stay at home can In the dead of winter enjoy a number of agreeable fruits and veg etables that our fathers knew only during a brief season of the year. The latest addition to the list is the canta loup. A California grower has dis covered that cantaloups can be suc cessfully dried, and so preserved In definitely, not only without loss of fla vor, but with Improvement. The next thing may be dried watermelon, with the hint on the package, "Just add cold water and serve."—Youth's Com panion. Tongue Sandwiches. Tongue sandwiches can be made In many varieties.

SHOULDN'T TAKE HIM LONG Mark Twain's Occupation, According to Little Daughter, Would Have Been Brief. Mark Twain, about the time that he was working hard upon one of the earlier books that brought him fame, sailed for a tour of Europe with his family. He kept up his writing on shipboard and only left it at intervals for brief •ecreation. One day an approaching storm drove him inside the cabin and he went back to work, leaving word with his daughter, then a very little girl, to ex plain his absence. "If they ask for me," he said to her, "say that I won't be long—I am only going to write an anecdote." A little later the child was accosted by a passenger. "Where has your father gone?" wae the inquiry. "He won't be long," lisped the child. "He saith he ith only going to ride a nanny-goat."
