Thou sitalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20;3. It is well if 'We as children memorized the ten command- ments, They were given by God through his servant Moses, neare ly 3,500 yeare ago. But they still form a satisfactory pattern for living. It is true that most of the Christian Church do not keep the seventh day but rather the first day of the week. There is no express command for the change but Jesus arose on the first day and appeared to his disciples. A week later he again appeared. The Boly Spirit was given at Pentecost on this day. It came' to be known as the Lord's Day. On this day the disciples came together to break bread in remembrance of Him, (Acts 20: 7,) But someone, will ask, "What have the ten commandments to do with temperance? Let's put it this way. How does the drink- ing of alcohol affect our obser- vance of the commandments? Almost daily the news throws light on the connection. Drunk- enness often prepares the way for immorality. It doesn't take much alcohol to loosen one's proper restraint of the sex in- stinct. For some, drunkenness leads- to a false sense of confi- dence, paving the way for reck- lessness and death on the high- way.

When war broke out, the twenty' black widows at that zoo hod . to be destroyed. A bomb might have given them their freedom and they might never have been found, officials thought.. Said one keeper: "In some respects we regarded these spiders as more dangerous than Tinos, which were spared.

The Week widow spider now at the zoo, was the gift of an entomologist. an ..Oklahoma who found Win' an old shed. Its bite is notpairefil cons=nd can be coni pared, to a sharp pinprick, but some hours later the yictirns suf- fees excruciating pain. Two of these spiders left to- gether will sometimes fight furiously until one or the' other is bitten and killed. Then victor eats vanquished. The widow's irregular web of coarse, tough silk .ensnares its prey: flies, beetles, grasshoppers, and other, insects. In the United. States where these spiders are chiefly feiund, they have many natural elle- . ernes, including pigeons and field mice. During capture a black widow usually "plays dead"..' The danger to humans lies in" accidentally squeezing it when picking up an object to which it is clinging. In. Camden, New jersey, in 1949; 'a black widow spider bit a farmer's wife while she wes sleeping. Her screams aroused her husband and she was rush- ed to hospital. The farmer later returned, to bed, but .within - an hour he also was awakened by, a spider bite. This time' he' found the tiny but deadly., attacker, killed' it and managed to drive back to the hospital. Husband and wife recovered after a long spell of treatment, a farmer, unless he deals with the warehouse in a far E'itY my favorite example sweet cider packed in 13uckficitl, ship- ped to Boston, and reshipped back to Bleklield again where customers at the chain store pay four cents a gallon More than would cost them at the eider Press, Besides, pol4orn would have to be packaged, tinned or bottled, whereas the old grocer simply Sold it loose, but on the cob. I remember one who had a huge globe-like bottle with a' plate across the top for a cover, and he exhibited his popcorn in it; but usually a plain wooden box was good enough, You bought popcorn expecting to shell it eft, When the cobs of popcorn were twisted one way in the mechanism a great corrugated wheel made a fine noise as it rubbed ofX the kernels. The cobs and, 'the corn would all come out in the same box, but you „Could pick the cobs out all right,,Any- body who had one of these could shell popcorn with it. Otherwise you took two cobs in your hands and rubbed them together, shielding the action with your palms so the kernels wouldn't fly all over the kitch- en. Two cobs were generally more than enough for an. even ing's popping. At times we used to shell both yellow and pope, corn with the bayonet,' from Grampie's Civil War musket. We'd stretch it across a box, sit with a leg holding each end. down,' and saw the cobs up and down on thee edge. Shelling popcorn preceded popping it each time. This was because the ears were traced, Instead of husking the ears at harvest time, we'd merely peel the husks back, and then braid them together. This made ,a strand of popcorn, and eyed tie two strands together and looP them over a wire between attic rafters. The mice couldn't get to the corn, Corn popped better if it was cold, and in the win- ter we'd go up attic and twist off two ears and come down for popping, Our original popper, I've heard tell, was a spider with a cover on it. It wee a little hard to manage because of the legs, but it worked. Then came a sheet-iron popper with a long handle, which was still In use when I came along. The crane was pulled ahead in the fire- place, and a pothook hong on. Then the handle' of the popper was put throught the pothook, and you could agitate the pop- per very handily. Later the same popper was found to be equally useful on top of a stove. When Grandmother would hit a high mood' and say, "Now if you sannups will behave yourselves, after supper' I'll make cornballs," we were in a frenzy of expectation. We'd, shell the corn, pop the big wooden .bowl full, and be sure to pick out all the old maids. (This.. meaning of Old maid is not in the dictionary, for some reason. Grandmother used to tell of some poor wretch who broke her plate On an old maid in"a cornball, which was a joke; because cornballs ande store teeth are incompatible. . like a dog with a dab of taffy.) Then the rich efilelvia of old-fashion- ed molasses would run' riot itt the house, ,and while eve stirred the popdorn with longehandled ,spoons Grandma would pour the syrup Most slowly over the bowl, so ' every kernel would get sticky. "She'd butter her," hand and form the balls; 'and on - the sbig . roast-chicken platter they'd, be pat in the shed to cohl —"the 16hgest hour. Then she'd fret for a week becauees all the- doorknobs were sticky. - A Lot at' Steak: By finishing,,.. ,a' steak-and-kidney- pie in '17 min., 42 see., Joe Steel',, 42-yeat-oltil miner, won: an ea- hog .cOntest. at Bedlington, Nor- : thumberlatel. ome Reflections Dn Popcorn.

I began to reflect on popcorn, t subject of long standing, and am forced to admit great , Oxides have been made. Popcorn, in my life, was originally something you plant- ed in the field farthest from the ;arden, because it would cross. :ore was always crossing, In :hose days it was prudent and syen necessary to keep your awn seed, because ' seedsmen were not so plentiful and no- where near so reliable as now, So you didn't run any risk of having popcorn on the sweet corn cobs, or even vice versa, And if a neighbor plowed up a strip nigh the fence, it was well to find out what he plan- ned to plant. We had a little field of about two acres away down in the woods — a spot of rock-free loam surrounded by boulders and about every third year it would grow us a patch of pop- corn without pollen becoming a public issue. We grew a little white popcorn which didn't ma- ture too early, and some sea- sons we'd scarcely get our seed back. This was true, in those days, of yellow corn, too — Grandfather said one year in ten is all you could ,expect of corn. Since then the seedsmen haire ,hybridize' and selected, and the story is different now. But there was always enough for et least a winter, and if we ran short we could always seed some more next year. Some years we'd grow so much we could sell some, and still pack away enough for four or five years' home .popping, writes John Gould in The Chirstian Science Monitor. All you did, to sell some, was pack the, ears in a bag and take them to the store, where the storekeeper gave you credit on your bill.

But for Emmaline it means remov- ing all unburned fuel from her firebox. She does it cheerfully, though, and warns, "Don't peek, even, for the whole bake-wait period." When the cake in all its state- ly splendor is removed from the oven, it is allowed to cool for another five minutes before the rim of the pan is removed. Then, one needs only to slice it to re- veal its wonderfully smooth, velvety texture. 4' * + Some like a sour' cream top- ping for cheesecake, others hold Out for pineapple.

Kendal, of . the ill-fated Sante Fe Expedition in 1841, Claimed to have found an old man who saw between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 at one time. The herd was, estimated to cover a hundred square miles. As late as 1841 Kendall found buffaloee in immense herds An Little River, near Temple, Tex- as. At .that time he was told the buffalo was decreasing. Kendall writhe: "I have stood on a high 'roll' of the prairie, with neither tree nor bush to obstruct the vision, in any direction, and seen those, animals grazing upon' the plain and darkening it at every point." One of the most interesting points iii regard to the buffalo is the rapidity of its decline, A tannereseswae established at Fort Griffin, • Texas, in the spring of 1880, The tannery operated but a single season, and' the buffalo' was practically gone. "The buffalo had more influ- ence on' mart than all plains anitnals corribined," Kendall "wroth., "It was the lithe, -food, raiment and 'shelter of the In- dians, The buffalo and the Plains Indians lived together, and together they passed away. The year 1816 marks practipally *the end of both." .. . . PUZZLE. . .10..,...„„...„ „. ,,,,,.,.„ fi n"' I4 .„.., co „... 3 8, f5rIVe a we,,ir. ,. ... . 1.

Emmaline is always reedy for a foray, since she is inordinately fond of "mushyrooes." But on this particular morning her girls are tending a baby boy whose young mother is ' helping her husband tend their market' stall in town, and we linger to watch his antics. . Anna, who left school forever this spring, having reached 16, the age at which Amish girls•are considered 'to he-sufficiently ed- ucated and 14-year-old Hilda are delighted, with their charge.
