"Mutt" is a contraction of "mutton' head," a term applied In anciont times to a stupid fellow, equivalent to "dun derhead" and "puddln'head." An old publication has It that "Columbus taught a parcel of 'muttonheads' that an egg might be poised on the Binaller end." ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE -.?".".'; . ' ,r Belief that Common Political Term Sprang From Horse Race Held f; In Tennessee. The political term "dark horse" la thought to have had Its origin in the following circumstances: In the last century there lived in Tennessee a "character" named Flynn, an elderly person who dealt in horses. Flynn, generally contrived to own a speedy nag or two for racing purposes If he could arrange for "a good thing" during his peregrinations throughout the state. The best of Flynn's flyers was a coal black stallion named Dusky Pete, almost a thoroughbred and able to go in the best of company. One day Flynn visited a town where a race meeting was In progress. He entered Pete. The people, knowing nothing of the horse's antecedents and not being over Impressed by his ap pearance, backed the local favorite heavily against the stranger. Just as the beasts were being sad dled for the race, a certain Judge Mc- Mlnamee, who was the "oracle" of that part of the state, arrived on the course and was made one of the race judges. As he took his place on the stand he was told of the folly of the owner of the strange entry. Running his eye over the track the Judge instantly rec ognized Pete. "Gentlemen," said Mo- Mlnamee, "there's a dark horse in this race, as you'll soon find out." , He was right Pete, "the dark horse," lay, back until the three-quarter pole was reached, when he went to the front with a rush and won the race. DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT Use of Lemon Juice at. Critical Time Is a Thing Worth Keeping In Mind. Sitting at a planked shad dinner in Yonkers, a laughing guest drew a bone into his throat and he began to strangle. Some one suggested that the sufferer swallow a fragment of dry bread. "Oh, no," exclaimed an Osslning man. "Don't give him bread. It might catch the bone and It might not. Give him something that is sure to give re lief." Beckoning to a waiter, he said: "Bring me a lemon, cut in two." And it was brought without delay. Taking one section, he offered it to the chok ing guest and told him to suck the juice and to swallow it slowly. Direc tions were faithfully followed, and In about a quarter of a. minute the af flicted one placed the half lemon on his plate, looked into the anxious faces around the table and smiled. "Well, Joe," said one, "how about It?" "It's gone," was the reply, "the bone has slipped down." "Not exactly that," said the Ossln ing man. "The bone slipped down, all right, but it was melted first by the cltrio acid. I never knew It to fail to dissolve a fishbone. You can test the power of lemon juice by dropping some on the fishbones you may have lying on your plate." Several diners tried the experiment. In each case the acid reduced the bone to liquid gelatine. TAKE PLACE OF MEAT "OK" FOR HORSES.

Fawn and St. Bernard as Companions. At the little village of Bauma, In Switzerland, a farmer recently found a young fawn in one of his fields. Fearing that if left alone without its mother some mischief would be fall It, he took It home and did every thing possible for it. Now, he hap peneu to have a large St. Bernard dog, and this dog and the fawn took to each other. The fawn slept in the dog's kennel, and when It grew a little older and went out on its walks abroad, the dog accompanied it, and defended It against the attacks of other dogs. Sometimes the St. Bernard and the fawn would be absent in the woods and fields for a whole day, but they always returned at night, the doors and gate being left open for them. The fawn la now much taller than the St. Bernard, and yet the dog still goes out with it. Aid to the Unlovely. "I try to be an efficient city direc tory," said the hotel clerk, "but balk at recommending a beauty doctor to women guests. "That Is one of the first things they want to know. Churches, theaters, even dressmakers can wait a few days, but the beauty doctor is an immediate necessity. Unfortunately, they do not get much satisfaction out of me. Aoy number of beauty specialists leave cards for distribution, but so many of them have been mixed up in lawsuits that I feel squeamish about delivering their cards. To satisfy my own con science and the women at the same time I hand out a bunch of advertise ments with the remark that I guess they are about all alike. "Then they can pay their money and take their choice, and If they lose their hair and complexion, they can't come back on me tor damages." DELICIOUS VEGETABLE SOUPS FOR THE HOT WEATHER. Something of a Novelty la One Call Ing for Fresh Garden Peppers Onion Soup Brought to Per fection In France. An housekeeper whose family doesn't care very much for flesh food in summer can find any number of de licious vegetable soups to take the place of meat decoctions, and having once formed the habit of using them it is likely to be a lasting one. The following soup, calling for fresh garden peppers, Is a novelty; Mince three large peppers and three small onions together and stew them gently, till tender, in a little butter about two tablespoonfuls without brown ing. Then thicken to a paste with a generous tablespoonful of flour and gradually stir the mixture Into a quart of boiling milk. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually add also, stirring well, the yolks of three eggs, and then remove from the fire immediately and serve very hot with croutons. Do not let It cool long or it may curdle. If one or two of the peppers are a bright red, instead of green, they will lend pretty tints to the soup. For French onion soup, which re turned travelers describe as food for the gods, fry four onions in two table spoonfuls of butter or very nice soup fat. The latter is to be preferred be cause it is cheaper. When they are quite brown add a scant half cupful of flour, stirring all the time. When the flour is brown. mix in carefully (a little at a time) about three pints of boiling water or stock. Season the whole with salt and pepper and put the soup near the back of the stove, where it will merely simmer for half an hour. Mash two potatoes and add enough warm milk to them to make a puree. Stir this puree Into the .soup and If too thick add a little fresh milk. Then strain . and boll ten min utes. Serve very hot with croutons. The following combination of rice and lettuce makes a delicious soup: Have ready the large leaves of three good-sized heads of lettuce. After draining, chop them up and put them in a saucepan with about a fifth of a pound of butter and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently. Stir the whole Into two quarts of white stock. Season with a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pepper, half a tea spoonful of grated nutmeg and a soup bouquet. Stir in also four ounces of well-cleaned rice. Cover the kettle and let it cook for three-quarters of an hour. Then strain the soup through a fine sieve. Let tfee soup heat once again, but do not let it boll. Stir In a pint of sweet cream and serve very hot, with croutons. Chocolate Sponge Pudding. Beat lightly two eggs, add one cup- ful of sugar and beat for three min utes more. Then add one cupful of flour, into which has been sifted one teaspoonful of baking powder. Stir well and add a half cupful of boiling water, season with one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, pour into a square pan and bake in a moderate oven. When cool cut in two inch squares and pour over a cream made as follows; Place In a double boiler one pint of milk, and when hot stir in half a cupful of BUgar, into which has been mixed one tablespoonful of corn starch, a bar of unsweetened chocolate, grated fine. and a small lump of butter. Stir until smooth and pour over the squares of cake. Largest Flying Fish. The largest flying fish on record was served up for breakfast on the British warshlu Ardeola a short tlmn ago. The Ardeola was homeward bound and was oft the Canarv Islamia when a large school of flyluir fish was observed. They were apparently in full nlKht from some deet sea enemr an traveling rapidly. . As the ship met and passed them several flew on board and were seized by the crew as welcome additions to the meBS. One of the fish measured 19 inches: the largest "flying fish ever seen before the Ardeola's catch have never exceeded 10 inches. The big one was fried for the captain s breakfast Flying fish are very palatable and taste like trout The Quarrel Over the Laundry.

Pour over pudding made as follows: One cup buttermilk; one-half cup sugar; one tablespoon lard (melted), flavor vanil la, one egg. Put In enough flour to make cake batter; one teaspoon bak ing powder sifted in flour. Put cherries or any fruit In teacups, three table- spoonsful; fill cups to one-half full with batter.

Set to rise over night and In the morning stir down, put In tins, allow to rise very light and bake In moderate oven 45 min utes. This amount makes four large xaves. New Tea Table. The latest thing in tea tables Is one that can be used as a table or a tray. It has folding automatic legs and Is in the shape of a tray 27 by 17 inches aud !4 Inches high when the legs are opened.

"Home Department," National Maga PROFITABLE MANAGEMENT OF SMALL FLOCK OF GRADE EWES One of Daintiest of Animals Will Live and Grow Fat Where Cow Would Starve to Death Aim to Have Lambs Come In January or February, the Earlier the Better. mw? TyzX" ' '" - Z H (By It B. RUSHING.) Four years ago I purchased a piece it land adjoining my farm which was, to say the least, one of the worst run lown pieces of land in the country, sith noxious weeds of all kinds, the burdock being very rank. I turned in my. sheep and In a few weekB they had the burdock eaten right into the ground. The sheep, while it is one of the Saintiest of . animals, will live and grow fat where a cow would starve to leath. I usually make two culllngs of my flock each year; one In the iprlng and one in the fall. In the spring I cull out all the ewes that do not bring lambs or those that do bring them and for some cause fail to raise them, unless those Bwes are of extra quality and promise well in the future. In the fall I cull out and ship off ill the old and weak ones, also fatten and ship the wether lambs during the fall and winter, thus my spring cull ing is light and my fall culling heavy. However, I consider both important. I make a point to always buy the best registered rams I can find. There is nothing gained in using a "cheap ram" on a flock of grade ewes. If you want to raise early lambs, that is, winter lambs, you must be thoroughly prepared and clearly un derstand the business. It means sleep less nights, nursing bottles and warm blankets. But -lambs usually bring a good price in the market, which I think pays for the trouble of raising them. I aim to have my early , lambs come In January and the first of February the earlier the better. My ewes are kept in good, thrifty condition, both before lambing and after. . ; Here is where many fail to have what is called "good luck" with sheep. I se many flocks after they bring their lambs, either early or late, turn ed out in the early spring and that Is all that Is thought necessary. Conse quently they become thin in flesh and run down from sucking. Thus, when the breeding season comes again, they are in no shape for service, and if they do get with lamb at all, the chances are they will bring Sheep on a Western Rancn. v a weak lamb. "Bad luck" follows of course. You can plainly see that the real trouble lies in their care and hand ling at all times. They must be made to take plenty of exercise and not be housed until Just before lambing time, except in stormy weather, then it is well to have a shed provided for them to go under during the summer storms. ' When lambing time comes I watch my ewes very closely and am obliged to be with them both' day and night almost continually. Of course at this time I keep them in a good, warm barn. I fence off little pens about six feet square and put a ewe and her lambs in by themselves for two or three days until the lambs have become strong enough and sufficiently acquainted with their mother to know her and find her when turned in with a num ber of ewes and lambs in a large place provided for them in the barn. Of course talking about winter lambs may seem a little but of season now, but now Is the proper time to be thinking of that very thing for it will not be many months before the breed' ing season will be here and then If the flock Is not in proper condition for breeding, the winter lamb business will prove a failure. It is an excellent plan for every farmer to put up every fall a quantity of oats straw to help out in carrying the sheep through the winter. Wheat straw will answer the purpose but it is not as good as oats straw. Of course straw- is not an ideal feed for sheep. It contains little nutri ment, but not much and a great deal of food fiber, but clean oat straw fed sparingly In connection with roots or other succulent feed helps out won derfully. Placed In the rack with clover hay it will be pretty well eaten up every day and it undoubtedly saves some grain. Where a farmer has plenty of grain and little roughage oat straw will help to piece out the, ration admirably. If . fed in large, quantities it will almost certainly produce stomach trouble and this . should always be avoided. ;.iYw;aV r mm REDUCE YOUR LIVING EXPENSES Eat Golden Cereal Foods and recommend them to your acquaint- , ances.

There seems to be a disposition on the part of the farmers to ostracize the old Btandbys of years ago. It seems like a sacrilege to do so. Some traveling timber buyers went over our country buying old apple trees for the manufacture of tool handles. Their story was that the trees were worthless for fruiting and the price they paid would replace the old trees with young stock. The grandfather of the writer planted an orchard (seedlings) 80 years ago. He gave his children the privileges of choosing a tree and nam ing it One of the boys called his tree Bill's Apple." This tree is still living and bearing. So Is the boy who named it. One other of these seedlings that was top-grafted with the Pound Pip pin Is Btill bearing. Enough wood was taken from these two old trees to make a gavel to be" used by the pre siding officer at the annual meeting of the descendent of the old pioneer. Last August over 200 of these chil dren and grandchildren met to com memorate the memory of the planter of these two old trees and this gavel was presented to the society. Some four or five miles from where these trees stand Is a pear orchard all FORAGE-PLANT SEEDS IMPORTED Considerable Number of Lota Examined Found of Low . Vitality and Inferior - Quality. seedlings planted at the same time by another pioneer named Harter. These trees are In 'air condition yet, and although seedlings, the fruit Is good. Our motto is spare the old land marks. A young tree six years old that grew from a graft from a tree 276 years old bore an apple last year and we are sure the fruit was of the same quality, appearance, etc., as the fruit that grew on the original tree in the orchard at Boston, Mass. Pruning Grape Vines. The first season let grapevines gro at will. The following season prune back to the strongest canes to three or four eyes, and remove the others. After the buds start In the spring leave the two strongest shoots to grow and rub off the others. The two shoots are the canes which form the permanent arms of the vines, and will bear the upright shoots from which the fruit of succeeding years is to be obtained. Pruning may .be done any time, ac cording to the locality, from Decem ber to March, but after that is not ad visable. The principle to remember in pruning grapes is that fruit never grows on last year's wood, but always on the new wood of the present sea son's growth. Culture of the Squash.

Cleaning Velvet Nothing cleans a velvet hat or gown Hke another piece of velvet A small piece held firmly in the hand and used like a brush will produce excellent r ults. The Secretary of Agriculture is call ing attention to the Seed Laboratory which has examined a considerable number of lots of forage-plant seeds imported into the United States dur ing 1911 and found that many of them consisted ot seed of low vitality and high weed-seed content said: "The analyses of 18 seed lots of seed ot alsike clover, red clover, white clover, and hairy vetch, amounting to 225.780 pounds, showed that the pure seed consisted of only 44.9, 64.2, 511, and 23 per cent, respectively, of the consignment while the germination was as follows: SS.8, 37.0. 30.5, and 77 per cent, respectively. Consequently, though this seed was imported at a cost of 17.47, 17.97. $17 and J3.82 per toa rounds, respectively, the actual Grape Cuttings. , Plant grape cuttings in the sprint as early as the ground can be worked. A)St of 100 pounds of seed that ger minated was $44.35 for alsike clover, $34.66 for red clover, $111.86 for white clover, $23.29 for hairy vetch, or from two to four times the market price of seed of the very best quality. "A special examination of seed of alsike clover and red clover Imported from Canada during 1911 showed that approximately one-half was unsalable for seeding purposes in that country, the seed control act there prohibiting sale' when more than a prescribed number of noxious seeds are found to the round. One lot of seed of alsike contained less than 50 per rent of pure seed, germinating only 15 per cent, or 74 per cent of the entire bulk. This particular lot contained approximately 135,000 weed seeds In each pound." Leads In Cranberries. It Is claimed that Massachusetts leads the cranberry output, with an average crop of about 400,000 bushels annually: New Jersey is a close sec ond with about 850,000 bushels; and Wisconsin ranks third with an aver age of about 100,000 bushels. SHE BLAMES "SPIRIT WIFE" Mrs. William Phelps Dodge Divorced Husband Because Uncanny In fluence Ruled Him. The uncanny Influence of a "spirit wife" is said to have been responsible for the divorce action which Mrs. Wil liam Phelps Dodge has Just won against her millionaire husband. , The decree, which was signed in Philadelphia, would have been grant ed several weeks ago, it is under stood, but the Judge wanted to make a longer investigation of the unusual charges brought by the girl wife of the wldelyknown author and lawyer. According to the papers in the case, Mr. Dodge, who Ms forty-eight years old, met his young bride here at Sher ry's on election night,' 1909, and after an Impetuous wooing, married her in London on January 10, 1910. ; Prior to that time she and her sis ter had been in the chorus of "Ha vana," a musical comedy playing at the Casino. Despite the difference In their ages the bride was only eighteen the couple lived happily for a couple ot months after the wedding. Then Mrs. Dodge charges that the spirit of Mr. Dodge's first wife, Ethel, appeared be fore him and began to "pick on" her successor. Young Mrs. Dodge said that when ever she wore a Jewel, a veil or any thing that the first Mrs. Dodge had possessed, the latter's spirit would ap pear before her husband and demand that he have it removed at once. And, according to the girl-wife, the Bpirlt-wife was always obeyed. This treatment got on the nerves ot the youthful Mrs. Dodge finally, and she packed up and returned to this country, leaving Mr. Dodge in London. Immediately on her arrival here, she applied for the divorce through her mother, as guardian, and charged that cruel, barbarous and inhuman treat ment had been Inflicted upon her by ber husband.

Whole Hog or None. "Whole hog or none" refers to the alleged custom of Mahomet to allow his followers to eat all except one portion of a pig, which portion, how ever, was not specified. The result therefore was that if a Mahometan did not wholly avoid the use of pork he might as well run the risk of con suming the whole hog as to eat any portion thereof. Need-of Greater Production.
