A Useful Invention.

j. B. Biles has invented a device
that will do away with the chopping
board as it is now operated. He has
applied for patent on it. And has
been awarded silver medal on the
invention.
The device is very simple and cheap
ly made. 1t consists of two lig ht
chains, two and half feet long, with a
light dog on one end and an iron
bracket to receive the board. The
dogs are driven IN on each side of the
tree just below where you want to saw
or chop. Then the bra. ket is placed
at right angles with the tree, the
chains are then hooked on the bracket
the chains are at angle of about
twenty degrees-then enter the board
in the bracket and jump on the boa I'd
Your weight will cause the sharp
points of the bracket to enter the tree
thus making it firm and secure. It is
Just AS handy in saving up, where a
log is too high to reach from the
ground (the present one in use is of no
avail.) This device can be set, ready
to operate on, either TO tree or log
In less than a minutes time.-Elma

FROM all accounts the proposed ex-
cursion of the retail dealers of the
east to Puget Sound next summer
will be one of the most important
affairs in the history of the lumber
trade of the Pacific Northwest. From
reports received over 200 buyers of
lumber and shingles will come, and
that they will receive hearty well
come from the lumbermen here goes
withou, saying. 1t will aft )rd the
buyers of the east an opportunity to
see the mills and timber of the coast,
and will no doubt result in an increas-
ed business to all parties All of the
retailers, or nearly all at least, use red
cedar shingles, but the majority of
them know but little of fir, spruce and
cedar lumber, and their visit will
therefore be one of education as we'll
as pleasure.-Pacifc Lumber Trade

The Presidents Proper Address.

Ex-President Harrison, who details
"a day with the President at his desk"
IN the March Ladies Home Journal,
relates some of the amusing solutions
OF the perplexing problem as to the
proper way to address the President:
sometimes he is addressed by letter
writer's as plain Mister, sometimes as
His Majesty or His Lordship,' and
very often as His Excellency.' The
High Government at Washington was
thought to be the correct address by
one writing from Austria; and letter
addressed to the white Office was
rightly assigned by the intelligent mail
clerk to the White House. The official
title of the head of the Executive De-
partment is 'The President All
propositions to add adjoining but SUI
perhuous titles were rejected in Wash
ington's time. The correct letter adj
dress is therefore. ITO the President,

ISAAC WILBUR of Little Compton.
l.. l., is said to have the largest poultry
farm in the world. He ships from
10000 to 10000 dozen of eggs year
He keeps his fowls on the Colony plan,
ouslng about forty in a house 8xIO
or Sxl2 feet in size these houses being
about 15O feet apart, set out in long
rows over the gently sloping fields
He has 100 of these houses scattered
over three or four fields. The food is
loaded into a low wagon which is
driven about to each house in turn,
the attendant feeding as he goes; at
the afternoon feeding the eggs are
collected. The fowls are fed twice a
day. The morning food is a mash
of cooked vegetables and mixed meals
this mash is made up in the afternoon
OF the day before. The afternoon feed
is whole corn the year around.

AMONG other things that have been
closed up on Sunday by the new Off
Gals of Whitman county is the Colfax
military band. The closing of the sa-
looms on Sunday some weeks ago
seemed to meet with general approval
and the closing of business houses was
not complained against much, because
it pleased the business men themselv-
es to be allowed to rest on Sunday,
Every place of business and pleasure
being closed against them, the habit
OF the bad boys to gather at the band
rooms and practice Sunday afternoon
became popular one. Last Sunday
the band boys were notified that even
this form of diversion was forbidden
by the law, and they were notified to
discontinue the practice or it would
be stopped.
