Lost Time.

In view of the brevity of time and it's
rapid flight the utmost care should be
taken in the use of time, lest any of it
should be wasted. The wind that blows
by Us may return again on it's backward
sweep; the stream that flows by us may
descend again upon the earth and re-
sumo it's channel; the sun that shines
in heaven to-day may shine again; but
wasted time is lost forever. Wasted
health may be restored; lost reputation
may be regained; squandered wealth
may be recovered; but lost time is for
ever lost, and not a single hour can be
re covered.-Rev. G. B. Stricken.

Photography Thirty Years Ago,

thirty years ago. said a photog-
rapher, showing q picture of a cot

and fine as anything we get now.
The truth is that the progress of
photography has not been so great
in those thirty years as most persons
think. We have developed speed,
and we have produced more rapid
developers that are easily handled,
but they are not so satisfactory in
other respects.

a EFLoODEp WITH SCHEMES.


express Companies Receive Numerous Ne
Woes for Preventing Robbery.
Express companies are iood,d with
letters from all over the country offer
ing all sorts Of devices and pat ats a
q safeguard against robbery.
only a short time ago we lad one
letter from a chap who wished us to
keep what he had to offer an !nviolable
secret" said the manager o. the com-
pany. HE said he had not patented
it, and was only waiting to hear from
us. His plans called for the construc-
ton under tho roof Of the car Of a
chamber with falling doors. AS soon
as the robbers entered the car all the
messengers had to do was to throw a
switch. This let down the doors Of
the concealed chamber. AS soon as the
doors fell a blast of air was created
from some mysterious source and
countless numbers of little balls O. India
ink would be thrown into the car,
branding every mar Jack of the rob-
bers indelibly fos future Identification,
to say nothing of soaring them to death.
Another chap I remember had a
scheme that was unique. It consisted
OF the placing Of a cylinder in the car.
The moment the messenger appreciated
that he was attacked all he had to do
was to drag the safes into the. cylinder
and lock them up there along with him
self. The cylinder was punctured with
holes which commanded every part of
the car, and through them he could
shoot the robbers down one by one.
When we asked him what was the mat
ter with the robbers shooting back
through these same holes and pune
turing the messenger he was stumpeG
and retired.
"On some of the western roads they
are trying a new plan. Each express
car is equipped with one or more cyl
inders of small diameter, which are
filled with a powerful chemical prepara-
tion. The instant the messenger inside
has reason to think that his car is
threatened he takes the cylinder down
from it's case and drops it through a
prepared opening in the floor of the car.
Then, by the pressure of the foot or
some other simple method he ignites
the thing. The chemicals flame and
illuminate the country for a great dis
lance around. The experiment is being
tried there, but whether it will be a
success OF not remains to be SEEM

JUDICIAL IGNORANCE OF SLANG

Sometimes the Bench Has to Have Mat
ters Fully Explained.
There is no n SO ignorant as a Judge
when slang words are used in evidence.
Mr.. Justice Lawrence, the English iu-
rist, was startled when sitting in a re-
cent action by a reference to 1.-TWO
quid.' :,
1.-TWO what?" said his lordship. IT
never heard the expression BEFORE"
Mr.. Justice Lawrence is the merry
judge who told Mr.. Murphy that he
might carry a case to the house Of lords
III he were quick" That was before
the general election, when the crusade
against the peers was being preached
from political platforms all over the
country, says Pearson's Weekly. !;
Mr.. Justice Lawrence has not so dis
tinguished himself since the memorable
day when a barrister had the temerity
to remark that every Englishman knew
what playing Tommy Dodd" meant,
and the judge at once severely re-
marked of this as we'll that he had
never heard the expression before.
Ihereupon the barrister explained that
it was equivalent to "odd man out" and
the judge smilingly admitted that he
gould now grasp the meaning of the
phrase. +.
One of the last cases heard by Lord
Coleridgc was an action rising out of
the L.oerator failure, and Mr.. Abinger
referred to the company as having
come to grief" Lord Co~leridge, "in
vindication of the queens English" de-
manded TO know what he meant.
It was Lord Coleridge who asked:
"Wbo is Miss Connie Gilchrist?" at a
time when that lady was the most-pho-
tographed theatrical celebrity of the
day. a similar question was asked
about Fred Archer by-of all persons
in the world-Mr. Justice Hawkins.

FArTENlNa HOGS COSTS ONE CENT

FATTENlNG HOGS COSTS ONE CENT
The editor recently heard of a farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 bu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas, etc. Now,
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than a silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things FOR the farmer, gardener and cit
izen, and the editor believes that it
would pay everybody a hundred-fold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas-
ing seeds.
If you will cut this out and send it
with 10 cents postage to the John A.
Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, they
will mail you their mammoth seed cata-
logue and 10 samples of grasses and
