TeacheT Corrected the Two Big Boys
Town SchoolWhen Father Came to
in
'm Found That He Could .Not Impose on the Little Active
One.
ISS ELVIRA HESTON, said to be small and rather
pretty, teaching school in Franklin township, Columbi
ana county, Ohio, was much annoyed by two big boys from
Millville village. The two big boys were named Swaney and
they had an idea that teacher couldn't interfere much with
them. Miss Heston stood it for some time but one day,
when particularly annoyed, she slapped one of the boys
plenty. Then the two great big dubs both attacked her sav
agely.
Miss Heston didn't have time to lay out the campaign or
even to scream. She shut her teeth together and things
began to be a-going. The school was panic stricken and all
the little children were crying aloud. In a minute Miss Hes
ton knocked the boys' heads together and "had them ter-
rorized. She then whipped them with a birch rod. When
the two boys arrived home looking as if they had been
stepped on by the cattle their father, Boston Swaney, a
farmer, became indignant and declared that he would "show
that dodgastefl teacher a thing or two."
Arrived at the school he proceeded to "argufy" for a
time with Miss Heston, and then, so she declared, slapped
her face.
This is what Miss Heston did/to Farmer Swaney: Landed
on his jaw, broke his nose with a poker, chased him out of
the school room, overtook him on the road, and knocked
him down with the poker.
Franklin township and Millville village when it heard
of all this as it did at once, was tickled almost to death. Mr.
Swaney has had his face set by the doctor and the boys
will not go back to school. Abunch of young farmers are
watching to ee that the injured family does not try to take
revenge on teacher. She thinks they will not. If they do
she says that she will lick them.

A Great Bend, N. D., boy attempted to work out some

It was a fierce old gasolene fire that the Balfour, N. D.,
Statesman tells about. The fumes and flames and smoke
were almost suffocating. Arthur and Lewis Riebe were
among the first on the scene. "They soon had two chemi
cals at work and were getting the fire under control when
some crazy loon thought Lou was about to burn up and
grabbed him around the waist and pulled him out. The min
ute Lou left the flames grew and Art was about to skin out
of the fiery furnace when he saw Lou coming back. Again
they went at it and the fire again weakened. jOthers were
soon on hand, some were crazy and sent the chemicals squirt
ing over everything and everybody. The boards under the
gasolene tank were burning. Connelly knew that it was
gasolene and said so. Art understood thart it was kero
sene. As soon as Perry Pendroy came on the scene the
gasolene tank was tipped over and started for the door. In
tipping it over the faucet was opened and run full blast.
The fire followed the running gasolene right up to the
faucet. As soon as Art saw how it burned he realized it
was gasolene. He also realized that as yet the gasolene was
cold aild that it must be shut off or there would soon be
something doing. So he turned the chemical stream on his
right hand and reached into the fire and shut off the
faucet. It did not burn him. Connelly and Pendroy pulled
at the top and Art pushed and the huge can was soon out-
side. When the people present thought the fire was out the
"Riebe boys thought otherwise and cut a hole thru the
-floor and up popped huge flames. When they subdued the
new menace and all thought the fire out the flooring was
taken up and about four inches of bark was found burning on
one of the stringers, burning like punk. The flooring
was further demolished till there was no further danger. Art
says the next time he goes to a fire and some one squirts chem
ical juice over him he is going to let the fire go and lick the

best way to cook green vegetables is to put them into
plenty- of fast boiling water. The opposite, however,
is the rule for winter roots, carrots, beets and parsnips.
They should be put into cold water and gradually allowed
to come to a boil. Rutabaga turnips will lose their coarse
rankness if cooked in this way.
Salt which renders water hard, should not be
added to it until vegetables have begun to cook. Some green
vegetables, like spinach, are put into salted water to boil,
but peas and. beans should be cooked in unsalted water..until
they are just ready to be taken off. Carrots, beets, potatoes
and most vegetables are better for not being salted until they
are half done. Do not add soda to green vegetables except
occasionally. It will improve the quality of some old peas
and beans, and a pinch of it, the size of a pea, is about the
right amount for a quart of watei\ Sometimes an old
cook will add the soda and then neutralize it by
^-adding the usual salt. In such a case the salt shouM be added
^jjust as the vegetables are being taken up or to the sauce or
brown butter that is sometimes served with them.
Almost all vegetables are better for being blanched,
'^especially brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips and cauliflower.
"\xhe moment they are done pour off the boiling water, cover
*them with very cold water and let them remain in it for a
s, --momen or two. Then pour off the water, cover them with
*L*a cream sauce and reheat them. Sometimes, if the vegetable
.Ss of a particularly rank flavor, it will be better for several
^successive blanchings in fresh water. When boiling onions
^or eabbages, if you pour off the boiling water from time to
||ttime and immediately add fresh cold water, the odor will
^never penetrate to the adjoining* rooms. The vegetables,
gg too, will be delicate and in no way injured by the treatment,
g|"This method is especially recommended for yellow turnips,
Igwhich require so many blanchings tp improve them-
'J^l If it is necessary to keep"- vegetables for a few days
spread them upon the cellar floor or where it is per-
fectly cool and dry, but out of reach of air currents. Keep
I each variety, by itself to save it from deteriorating in flavor
Carrots, turnips, beets, potatoes and beans keep well in the
cellar if they are placed in dry sand. Cabbage if spread out
on earth in a good cellar will keep for several months. Cel-
ery and leeks may also be kept several months in boxes of
earth. Onions should be hung in a cool, dry place. The stalk
ends of asparagus and cucumbers are said to be better if they
lure kept in about two inches of cold water

ANIMALS THAT REASON.
HE president of a society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals is collecting instances of animal reasoning.
The following ai'e instances he has authenticated:
A banker had a jackdaw that was interested in croquet.
As soon as the bird heard the click of the balls he would
swoop down, and watch the game attentively*^rom a hedge.
And when the players stopped, the jackdaw would begin to
play himself. He would take a ball, and push it with beak
and claws toward the "cage," or middle wicket, and he
would not be content with merely putting the ball thru
he would work away till he had succeeded in ringing the
bell that hung from the cage's top,
A Philadelphia elephant is fond of cakes/ Often, when
a cake is thrown to him, it will lodge under the bar of his
house in such a way that neither he nor the" thrcfwer can
reach it. In this dilemma the elephant always" puts his
trunk down near the cake and blows it out upon' the floor,
whence the thrower may again heave it.
A Chicagoan has a retriever, Jack, who has been trained
to fetch slippers. Jack, one day, was bad, and they turned
him out of the room. Ashamed and dejected, he went away.
He knew that he pleased his master by fetching slippers.
Therefore, to atone for his misconduct, he brought now all
the slippers and shoes he could find, and laid them in a ilea1]?
before the door. Wfcen his master opened the door, finally,
there sat Jack, looking 4ip wistfully, and wagging jhls tail,
while beside him lay some^thirty shoes and slippers.*
An old bay mare had a field to herself. One day a lot
of calves intruded upon her privacy. The mare looked at
the calves in amazement. Then she went slowly around the
field until she found the gap in the fence thru which they
had come in. Now she steered the intruders, one by one, to
the gap, and, taking each by the back of the neck, shoved it
forth into the road again.
Birds that eat shellfish, when they cannot open their
oyster or clam or mussel otherwise, fly towards a rock, and,
hovering high in the air, break the shell by di'opping it on
the rock with accuracy.
ODD THINGS ABOUT BIRDS.
ANY small birds when migrating cover immense dis*
tances, often, however, not by flying but rather by
being carried by violent gales. Many of them arrive on
land in a half-dead condition. In fair weather small birds
make long journeys successfully over considerable tracts of
ocean, but the reason is, according to an observer, that they
are carried on the backs of the larger ones. When passing
the autumn in Crete, a writer asserts that he distinctly heard
the twittering of small birds when flocks of sand cranes were
passing overhead on their way to southern shores. On an-
other occasion, when firing a gun, he saw three small birds
rise from the flock and disappear again among the cranes.
A native, priest assured him that they came over from Europe
with them.1'
Small birds do not make their journeys in one
flight. They generally rest during the day, searching for
food, and thus proceed to their 'destination by easy stages.
BURGLARS AS REVOLVER SALESMEN.
laid down his newspaper, which contained
a exciting article about a burglar's capture by an
heiress.
"Business will be good today," he said. "This burglar's
capture by an armed young woman will have a bulling effect
on the revolver trade,
"AH householders feel that for protection they should
have revolvers at hand but they put off visiting the gun
smith, as one puts off getting his teeth filled, It takes an
episode like this to recall them to their duty. They per
ceive that the heiress, because she had a revolver, saved her
self soind thousands of dollars in silver and jewels. Ac-
cordingly they hurry^-to the right shop, and invest in a
reliable weapon. Y.
A good newspaper account of a burglar's r,epulse by an
armed householder has often, to my knowledge, .quadrupled
that day's gun and revolver sales."
The man smiled.
"In fact I might say," he ended, "th at burglars are
our best revolver salesmen."
BABEL OF TONGUES:
ZAMENHOF, the inventor of Esperanto, the^wuni
versal" language, was born, at Bialystok, a Polish
town on the borderland of Germany and Russia. At least
four different languages are spoken by the various national
ities who compose its populationRussian, Polish, .German
and Yiddish. This babel of tongues seemed to Zamenhof the
primary cause of mutual bickerings,, and he set himself to
bring about unity. The result was Esperanto.
There are several birds that can do* 270 miles an hour.
With them, to breakfast in New York and dine in Paris would
be an easy matter.

"X BLAINE DIDN'T REMEMBER HIM.
STANWOOD'S new biography of James G.
Blaine says: "The few glimpses we get of him at this,
the schoolboy, peridd of his life not only suggest the futuiv
politician they show in something like maturity the traits
for which he was afterward famous. He knew every boy ii
school by name. Perhaps there was no accomplishment whicl
more endeared him to casual acquaintances than this marvel
ous memory of names and faces, and his ability to recall the
circumstances of the first meeting.
"His reputation in this respect sometimes led people to
expect too much," the same account continues. "He him
self related that he was accosted at a town in Ohio, after
one of his meetings, in the traveling canvass of 1S84, by a
man who referred to his memory for faces, and asked if Mr.
Bfcaine remembered him.
"_ Evidently Mr. Blaine did not, but before his tongue*
made the" confession already apparent on his face, the man
said, with unconcealed disappointment: 'Why, I was in the
crowd at the station when you passed thru here in 1876, and
stood right before you.'
