Route as Pronounced.

There are numerous excuses for the
pronunciation of the word route, and
man may hardly go amiss to choose
his own style. Down south they say
always rowt. In the north, among the
educated classes, we hear root. Here
also we hear, lower down. especially
among the hyphenated Americans, rut.
The Irish. even big folk, say rut. The
original Webster gives the pronuncia-
ton as rOwt, with an admission Of
root We have adopted root because
of French leaning. The word rut,
meaning deep track in a roadway.
cut by the rim of a wheel, is simply a
contraction of route and rOut. The
Century dictionary says root or rowt,
preference for root. We also say
rootine for routine; why not, therefore,
root for route? Rowtine would sound
funny.-New York Press.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-10-27

for the production of good fur, and
number of enterprising northern farm
ers propose to keep on experimenting
until they win out. Skunk farming is
referred to in the northwest as scent
mental business.
Several companies have been formed
in various parts of the west for the cul-
tivation of various kinds of rabbits and
hares, Some of the enterprising pro-
iectors have overlooked the fact that it
requires a northern climate TO produce
superior fur. but rabbit meat makes
good food, and the experiments will be
watched with interest Rabbits are the
most prolific of animals. 1t has been
estimated that single pair would in
four years. if unmolested, become the
progenitors of more than /, $50, 600. The
culture of these valuable little animals
presents fascinating possibilities, and
even moderate success would supply the
demand fer inexpensive furs.
While medical science has to great
extent outgrown bloodletting by means
of the leech, there is still a consider
able demand for these crawling crea-
lures. They come in handy in the treat
ment Of bad bruises where blood has
collected beneath the skin. Many q
black eye has been made less picturesque
by this prosaic method. There are
few ieech farms in marshy districts.
but the chief supply comes from ponds
where there is little effort at systematic
cultivation. The method of harvest is
for men to walk bare legged into in
tested waters The exposed limbs are
soon covered with the bloodthirsty
things. but before they can much more
than pierce the skin they are brushed
off into pouches. from which they are
packed in wet moss and carefully
sealed They may thus be shipped any
where.
Raising silver foxes is another fas
cinating industry. The best of these
animals are worth over 500 each. 1t
is said that many more are born than
reared. their mothers having strong
antipathy for them and killing them in
infancy. Several ambitious fanciers are
studying foxology with the view of in
creasing the number Of silver beauties.
but as yet little progress is reported.

Ing. but now is as steady as any one; in fact
seems entirely cured"
The Golden Medical Discovery is a
medicine that will help you no matter
what ails you. This is true because it
works directly at the roots of all disease
the digestive system, the blood, the
nerves. Keep these in healthy condi-
ton and you cannot be sick.
Many of the cures of the Golden
Medical Discovery seem almost mirac-
ulous. Its effect is almost immediate.
1t takes hold at once. 1t tones up the
stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates
the bowels.
1t gets right into the blood and carries
strength and comfort to every fiber of
the body 1t nourishes and invigorates
the weakened, irritated nerves and puts
the entire system in perfect tune
1t is safe medicine. Safe for adults
safe for children. 1t contains no sugar,
syrup, whisky, alcohol or dangerous OPT
ates. Therefore, it does not create
craving for stirnulants. 1t is distinctly
a temperance medicine.
If a medicine dealer tries to substitute
some other preparation when you ask for
Golden Medical Discovery look out
for him. He is either ignorant or dis
honest and you can't trust him.

A very bright little dress for school

cne that every mother will approve.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-10-27

Every woman living must remember
wearing a dress where the tucks had
been "Iet down. The telltale streaks
of faded and unfaded material were
harder to bear than prison stripes.
Now, facing can be set at the bottom
and the fiat band or ruffie put over it.
In fact, the rufae need have no lining

A very dainty little frock for a girl
I'D to 9 is of white dotted swiss, with
ruff1e, tucks and insertion around the

match the rest and short sleeves with
full lace caps and ribbon over the
shoulders forming into bows wherever
one likes to see them best. Those on
this dress were in front at the yoke, OH
top of the shoulders and in the back.
Some of the small dresses have long
floating ends TO the bows in the back.
