George Washington knew the value |
Of newspaper advertising. In a repro
!duction Of a facsimile of its first num-
Der; printed lis years ago, the Balti-
moro American displays a half-column
nosGpg that he had bought 10000
acrcs Of land which he divided into
homesteads land was tseady to place
upon the market George was greet
man, but he had an eye to business.
The great temperance apostle, Faith
er'M a4Asw: was addkHssing:an audience
of risk Gab-dFysrs.; and bad told t!iem
that they should learn a lesson from
the brute creation. ''If," said he, IF
were to set before one of your horses a
bucket of water and a bucket of whisky
you know which the wise beast would
take" Whereupon one of the Quick
witted carmen replied: swell, father,
| if We're to place before my horse a
| truss Of hay and a sirloin of beef you
| know which the wise beast would
| choose. But does it follow that the
hay is best for me?" :.
| 1t is stated on good authority that
| North America has about 4l2 species of
| forest trees. The distribution is as
| follows: Atlantic region, 176; Pacific
I
| Mountain region, 49,. Florida tropical
species,.74 Europe has. only 15s.species.
At least six of the North American
species are also indigenous in Europe.
The extremely rapid destruction of
American forests is not only an alarm
ing waste of resources, but has resulted
iu great loss from the appalling floods
that are clearly traced to the removal
of the trees from the hillsides.
"A man in Bremen wbp was passing

While there he saw q afour-leaved1Sloyer
and at ONCE picked it up asan ep pieln
Of good luck. The next moment he
was arrested and 'fatsen before The aus
thorities for breaking a rule ferbidding
visitors to touch any thing in the park.
In vain he protested that he was about
tosail for A nerica, that his baggag gewas
aboard the steamer and that it sailed
in two hours Before he could settle
the matter and pay his fine the steamer
had sailed. The boat was wrecked and
a number of the passengers drowned,
but, thanks to the four-leaved clover,
our bclated traveller was saved
Some years ago an inventor Thought
| of the idea of an .'order board" to be
hung up in the kitchen OF private
| houses The boards bore columns OF
! articles in the commonest use, with a
! hole opposite each name and a lot OF
movable pegs toput in the holes against
whatever article the housewife needed
to keep up D working supply. The in
! yention NAV have sold or it may not,
tl'but, now the grocers are buying them
and distributing them to their custom
ers, because, as one grocer puts. At,
| "they save hours of waiting while
women try to think ofowhat they need
as well as the extra trips whichused te
follow the gradual working OF eact
customers memory.
This story comes from Stone Lake
Ind: "A gentleman living on the bank:
, of the lake has a small spaniel dog tina
is the pet of the family. A neighbo
owned a vicious English bulldog tha
seemed anxious to fight and kill
little spaniel at any opportunity
! Strenuous efforts were made to kee1
the dogs apart, but through the thought
lessness of some little children the dog
met on the banks of the lake, and tn
little spaniel began his fight for life
He adroitly managed to get the bull
dog to the edge of the water and thel
4 got him where he had to swim. Ate
. this display of intelligence his battl
o was a good deal moro than half won
o for he had the bulldog at his mercyan
