1t was not many years ago that the
cottonwood tree was considered useless
for the purposes of lumber. Today it is
crowding white pine out of the market
for certain purposes, and large fortunes
are being made all along the Mississippi
river out of this wood, which was once
despised as much in that field as a garfish
always has been among fishermen. In
New Orleans white pine is worth $85
thousand, while yellow cottonwood
brings $65. For the ceiling of grain
barges it is invaluable, as grain cannot
sweat in it. Every cracker box in use in
this city today is made Of cottonwood,
and it cannot be excelled for fruit bar
rels. do not know why this is so, but
it is fact, nevertheless. Cottonwood
will hold nails and can be used for build
ing, and it is also capable of a fine polish
after certain treatment, and it is much
priced for interior decorations. There
are now men rich because they own
tracts covered with cottonwood, who five
years ago would have traded an acre of
it for yellow dog.-St. Louis Globe

The Head OF the Army.

Gen. Schofield's salary is $4,000. Al
though he is the successor of Sheridan,
who followed a line Of soldiers in the Of
fee who were national heroes, and al
though he is rightfully the incumbent by
reason Of his services to the country, his
career has not been such as to make his
name over familiar to people generally.
His military life has been long and the
duties faithfully performed, but in few
events has he been very conspicuous.
Gen. Schofeld was born on the Goth Of
September, 1881. He graduated from
the United States Military academy in
1858, in the same class with Sheridan,
Mcpherson and Hood. Before the war
he left the service to become professor
of natural science in university, but at
the breaking out of hostilities he entered
the army as volunteer. A majors COM
mission was rendered to him at once and
on Nov. 81, 1851, he had reached the grade
of brigadier general. He served all
through the war, notably in the Atlanta
campaign, and for time was secretary
of war in Grants first cabinet. At pres
ent his duties are practically nominal, for
there are plenty of subordinates to look
after details. He has an office in the de-
partment building which is principally
interesting for the relics which it contains
of his service. Sheridan filed up his Of
flee in a similar way, and it was favor
ite spot for sightseers.-Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.

Sharp Hotel Clerks.

A hotel room clerk must not only
know every room in the house, even to
the kind of furniture, lights, air.. etc.,
but he must be quick, keen judge of
human nature to know just where to as
sign a guest who has never visited the
house before. The skilled clerk rarely
makes mistake, and in time becomes
such an adept that he knows when a
guest is going to complain about the first
apartment to which he is assigned and
acts accordingly, giving him one of the
worst rooms in the house, and the Sec
ond time one of the best. The contrast
is so great that the objector feels fiat
tered and always comes second time
There are few veteran hotel clerks who
have not run against the greatest object
or in the world, the opera singer Cam
panini, who was never known to take
the first, second or third room to which
he was shown. That man invariably
wound up in the worst room Of the lot
shown him: ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Experiments have laAly been tried at
Dover with a 80 called sea anchor, in
vented by Capt. Waters. This apparatus
consists of canvas bag about four feet
in diameter and five feet deep, with either
strong hoop to hold it open or square
bolted frame to answer the same purpose.
Tho bag is attached to beam, or float,
in such manner that 1t lies just below
the surface Of the water, and a stout rope
forms the connection between it and the
bow Of the vessel employing it. The.ob-
ject of this sea anchor is to bring boat
or ships head to the sea when In danger
Of laundering froPn getting broadside to-
ward waves. There is nothing very new
in the idea. for such q contrivance has
frequently been extemporized with nd.
vantage. The veteran aeronaut, Green,
also constructed an anchor to hold bal
loon near the surface Of tho sea, which
was almost identical IN form to this one.

When We Wara Bows.

Speaking of "mibs," who has not in
dulged in that fascinating game at some
stage of his youthful career? Every
man has had in his time his favorite
"shooter" an agate, an alley, or,
perchance, cornelian-and he has had
a bag of marbles. He has been able to
make good ring on soft dirt with the
sharp edge Of his boot heel, and he has
often scooped holes in the ground for
"holey-boley." He has practiced tagging
at the ring for his shot, and he never
forgot the order of that shot. If he were
smart boy he put the kibosh on his
better playmates by calling: "Fen picks
an fen everythings all aroun' the gamer
for keeps" and even now he cannot
pass crowd Of boys playing marbles
without involuntarily pausing to see
what the next boy did on his shot
Marbles was and still is great game
especially when played "for keeps."-

Selling Cattle by Weight.

A writer in Mark Lane Express Sc
verely deprecates the custom in sogue
in England with buyers and sellers in
estimating cattle, or buying by the head
instead of by actual ascertained weight.
By this system he believes farmers are
cheated and robbed of much Of the profits
in raising cattle, and advises them to
supply themselves with weighing ma
chimes of their own, SO long as butchers
ard statesmen remain averse to buying by
weight. There can be no doubt that in
such cases the farmer is at great disad-
vantage with buyers, whose opportuni-
ties for determining the dead weight Of
living animals are so much better, from
the nature Of their occupation, and the
wonder is that English farmers should
have submitted to such practice so
long.
Much of this business of buying by the
head, says the agricultural editor of The
World, has been done in this country,
and, it is scarcely to be doubted, quite
generally to the farmers disadvantage;
but Of late years the system of selling at
actual weight has been growing in favor,
and cattle scales are now so cheap as to
have become common in towns, as well
as on stock farms, so that there is no
longer any necessity for the element of
chance in the buying and selling Of stock
as it is picked up through the country by
butchers or shippers. No good reason
can be given why farmer should sell q
bullock on an estimation of its weight
that would not apply with equal force to
the buyer after the meat was dressed.
It is true that the percentage Of dead
weight varies considerably in different

weight is an important factor in deter
mining the value of the animal before il
has been slaughtered.
