The above words, in English, as
we'll as in Latin, are all complete,
and the curious part of it is that read
ing them backwards and forwards
and up and down gives the same re-
suit that transposing the letters in the
original word does. Their signii-
cance as Latin words is as follows:
Time, fear thou; item, likewise /;
nett, to be measured; emit, he buys.

The Wonders of Transpositlon.

The word "time" admits of a very
peculiar arrangement Of its letters.
The four letters of the word transpos
ed and read backwards and forwards
and up and down give us four perfect
English and Latin words. 1t is said
to be the only word IN our language
that will admit of so many transpor-
tations and arrangements. Note the
oddlty in the square below:

Propagates Angle Worms.

A Wayne county farmer has evolv-
ed new industry which promises to
become profitable. He has gone into
the business of propagating angle
worms for fishermen. He has been
experimenting for two years and has
had calls for all that he has to dispose
of at 81 a quart.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-03-05

About $4,000 tons of starch have been
made from potatoes this season in the
three States of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and North Dakota. Not far from three
and half million bushels of potatoes
have been thus used, and yet this repre-
sents about half the product of the po-
tato belt. The farmers have received
an average price of ten cents bushel
Tor the potatoes.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-03-05

Berks county farmers are offered
but IS cents bushel for potatoes,
and thousands of bushels are stored
in cellars in anticipation of an ad-
vance. 1t is said that there is very
little hope of an advance, as the s II
plus crop still in the hands of the
producers is the largest on record.

In spite Of the fact that doctors al
ways take the pulse of patient from
the wrist, few persons know what i'm
portant parts of the body the wrists
are and how much may be accomplished
by treatment of them. When one has
tainted water should be applied to the
wrists as freely as to the face and
temples. In cases of severe illness
doctors frequently order the wrists
to be bathed with milk and with beef
tea. Athletes learn that the wrists
must be kept cool in summer and warm
in winter. You all know the relief ex.
perienced from removing tight glove.

The excessive humidity this summer

With regard to the latter accusation. il
may be remarked in passing that it is
the yellow core of the carrot that is diff

thank you for proposing to them to
make so uninviting an article part OF
their meal. Turnips, in the same way,
are often thought to be indigestible. and
more suitable for cows and sheep than
for delicate people; but here, too. the
fault lies with the cook quite as much
as with the root. The cook boils the
tuinip badly, and t'1en pours some but
ter over it, and the partaker of such a
dish is sure to be the worse for it. Let
tuces have slight narcotic action. and,
when properly cooked, are really very
easily dgested.-N. Y. Ledger.
