Alcott, who won to lierome the father of LouIkh May Alcott, had returned from tho home of his uncle, where he had been sent to go to school, Honnrc WillHle Morrow, Writing In McCoir?, has told of the early life of tills neglected man of letters. He relates: "I'll. Ro to (he clock factory," said Branson quickly. And so It' was <Je eldeil. "The sort of work required of hlnj made no demands on his hntfn, and by currying one of bis precious borrowed books always with him, he dfd not stagnate, though ut the time >> thought he did and was terribly unhappy. Yet, rather than go hack to Cheshire, he clung to the factory work for nearly two years. His mother, watching him start off each morning along the lonely and precipitous pathway that led the iwo miles from the farm to the factory, yearned over him, wondered at his gentle, obstinucy, worried over him but never, evidently, lost her faith or understanding." Live Snails Kept in Cold Storage Vaults At the beginning of the autumn season 20,000,000 snails are usually reposing In cold storage In Frunce ready to be. taken out and served up to the epicures of the nation. The snails are eaten only lu the colder months of the year. It goes Into seclusion under the shelter of stones und wood plies and spreads a shield across the opening of Its shell and spends the winter In comfortable seclusion and safety. But they are forestalled by the snail hunters who gather them In the spring and summer months and put them In cold storage until the restaurant demand starts in. They sleep away the summer months under the Impression that they are hibernating. If it were not for this the Frenchman would be compelled to forego his diet of snails. There are two kinds of snails which are in demand for consumption, a form of the common garden snail and the Roman or Burgundy, which Is by far the favorite on account of Its delicious flavor and Its size.?Chicago Journal. Larvae Unhurt by Cold The bureau of entomology says that well-grown larvae of moths in fur and wool were held In commercial storage at a temperature said to fluctuate be tween 24 degrees and 48 degrees Fuhrenhelt, but held mostly at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and were found to be nllve after storage for 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12 months. Larvae in fur helmets placed In storage during February, removed the following December, and held in a steam-heated building, transformed In considerable numbers Into active adults by the middle of January. These ndults showed no effects of the refrigeration of the larvae from which they had developed, but laid many eggs that hatched normally. Refrigeration for six months had no noticeable effect upon the larvae, except to hold them Inactlt^ and Incapable of causing InJury. On Style * Mere attention to words Is not enough; for real style Is not a matter of showlness. Solicitude over verbal niceties quenches the ardour of imagination. But no, appropriate word will be lost, if one . . by prolonged and judicious reading acquires a plentiful stock of words and applies thereto' skill In arrangement, and, further, strengthens the whole by abundant practice, so that all is constantly at hand and before one's eyes. When our words are sound Lntin, significant, elegant, and fittingly arranged, why should we labor for anything more?? Qulntlllnn. Meats and Digestion Meat Is composed of muscle, connective tissue, and fat. The muscle fibers are composed of thin walls which contain the building material for the body ; water, mineral salts and extractives,-' These fibers are held together by little tissues and between these little muscle fibers are?bound together, and the more fat the meat 6on-. tains the more Indigestible the meat. Hence, pork is more Indigestible than beef, ' lie digestive juices have a harder time to penetrate the closely bound pork fibers.

"Mrs. Neely and myself am child were returning after being ii the mountains," said Mr. Neely thi: morning. "As we neured the spo whore the shooting occurred, I notice* a man in the road who was flagging me, and thinking at first that he wai un officer, 1 slowed down my car. soon realized that he was not in uni form and seeing some six or eigh men on the side of the road, I deter mined that I would not stop my car I cut down my speed to about fifteen miles per hour us I approached^ witl the idea that the mun in the roac would think I was going to stop.

The Consumer and the Producer are two men in America that have never even seen each other. Cut out the middle and tic the two ends together.
