Recent French experiments have de-
veloped the curious and unexpected
fact that certain persons possess a
magnetic polarity-that is, they act as
magnets, having north and south poles.
Such a person, when completely I'M
dressed and placed near a sensitive
galvanometer, will, when turned on a
vertical axis, cause a detection first
in one direction and then in the oppo-
site, just as a magnet would. All per-
sons do not possess this polarity.
Professor Murani, an Italian, upon
whom the experiment was tried, ex-
hibited this phenomenon, and it was
found that his breast correspondent to
= north pole and his back to a south
pole.

All Kinds of Seeds.

The attention Of u readers is call
ed to the advertisement of the John
A. Salzer Seed Co., which appears else
where in this issue. Those who expect
to make any seed purchases will make
a mistake not to write this concern.
They are thoroughly reliable, and are
the largest seed growers in America.
1t is advisable to make seed purchases
without further delay, as the season is
rapidly advancing. The John A. Sal
ger Seed Co. will send their interesting
catalogue for 5 cents in stamps to de-
fray the postage. They have made
numerous offers this year, which de-
serve consideration.

The girls of a town in Illinois will
play football. They will practice in
short dresses and play in boomers.
The society and the church Of the
town are up in arms against this mas

have their own way until they have
murdered each other to the last girl.
Fer, of course, having decided to play
the manly game, they will play it only
as men do.

A few persons have done a profit
able business in tree planting in this
country, but this occupation will prob
ably not be followed by individuals, as
the time required for trees to mature
is too long. Governments do not die
like individuals, and for this reason
certain economic industries are more
suitable for governments to control
than for individuals to undertake. Tree
planting is one of comparatively few
businesses which We believe the gov
eminent can prosecute more success
fully than can any private individual
or corporation.

Famous Rock on the Hudson to BE Blown
Up by Dynamite.
NEW YORK, March INDIAN Head,
the rocky eminence which ove1hangs
the Hudson at q point opposite Fort
George, is to be blown up by ear of
dynamite. The blast is to be set off by
the contact of an electric current. The
rock, which is to be blown into pieces,
weighs about $4,000 tons, and from
5000 to 5000 pounds of dynamite are
distributed through tunnels and holes
that have been drilled in the rock.
The displaced rock is to be used in
matchmaking roads, and thus the pic.
turesque formation that has overhung
the river for centuries will be crumbled
to particles and distributed over miles
of country.
Indian Head got its name because OBJ
servers fancied that it had til, appear

ShOeStrinQS.

ShOeStrings are made not only in enormous numbers, but also in very great variety. There are factories de voted solely to their production.
 They are made principally of cotton, but also of calfskin, pOrpOise hide, silk and mOhair. There is an elastic shoe string made of a combination of rub Der and cotton and a tubular cotton lace that has a linen cord running through 1t. In shape ShOeStringS are made in a solid round braid, of cord twisted like rope, of flat braid and of tubular braid. These are all made in various sizes.
 Flat braids of the kinds used for fine shoes are made in width ranging from fourteen to twenty-four lines. In col Ors they are made to match all the va riOus shades of leather used In shoes.
 Most shoestrings are still made with the tips of the kind that are clamped on, but the use of the spiral wire is in- creasing. These are made in lengths ranging from three-quarters of yard to two yards and a half. The longest laces are used for women's bicycle boots. Before the introduction of the bicycle the longest shoestrings in reg ular use were a yard and three-quar- ters long.
 There Is shoestring yard long that can be sold two pairs for a cent with a good profit; there are shOestTings sold at 5 cents a pair on which the profit is prOpOrtiOnately less. Shoestrings are sold at various prices up to 20 cents and 20 cents a pair, depending upon material, quality and length. A great many shOestrings are given away. Silk shoe laces are used mainly for lowcut shoes. There are half a dozen fac tories in this country producing noth- ing but pOrpOise-hide shoestrings, used mainly for brogans.
 Formerly many millions of the shoe strings annually consumed in this country were imported, chiefly from Germany. Pretty much all of the cheap shOestrngs used here, which include rather more than half of the total con- sumption, were made here; of the bet ter grades about half were imported. With the adoption of the recently en- acted tariff laws in this country the i'm portation of shoestrings has practical. ly ceased.-New York Sun.

One of the most hopeful signs of the times in governmental affairs in Amer ica is the growing appreciation of post al facilities as shown in the continued and continual expansion of the system even more rapidly than business cOndi- tiOns alone warrant. The representa- tives of the people are alert to see that the best possible postal facilities are given to their constituents and with the establishment of the pOstOffice comes closer connection and commun- ion with the outside world by letters and newspapers and telegraph, and consequently a more enlightened citi- zenship. The next step in the develop ment of the postal system will undoubt- edly be in this country, as it already has been in England and some others, the establishment of postal telegrapns in connection with the postal Organiza- tiOn of the government. Under our present system the telegraph, unlike the poStoffice, is limited in its extension by purely practical business considera- tiOns of profit and loss In management. It Is estimated that if the same system were to prevail as regards postoffices, twO-thirds of the mail routes operated in the United States to-day would have to be discontinued as only about one, third of them pay profit.

When the Scotch missionaries fol- lowed their great cOuntryman's foot steps into what is now known as Brit ish Central Africa, they called their station "Blantyre," the name of the town in which Dr. Livingstone was born. The place now contains about six thousand natives and more than a hundred whites. Of the natives re- cent Parliamentary report says that, "If the natives do not love taxation, they are at least beginning fully to understand the value of a tax receipt, the possession of which frees them from the oppression of their chiefs. They appreciate also having a silver currency, because it enables them to accumulate their earnings,-an impos- sibility in the old calico currency days, and now many of the workers in the Blantyre district have stores of money hidden away or deposited in the bank. The more intelligent and enterprising natives have even begun to buy blocks of government land of about one hun dred acres each, for coffee cultiva- tion."
