A Puzzling Trick.

Liquid air is perhaps the coolest
thing in the world. 1t is so cold that
a cake of ice is like fierce fire as COM
pared with it, for kittle of liquid air
placed on cake of ice will boil just
as water boils over a hot fire.. 1t
freezes mercury so hard that one can
drive nails with it. The story is told
that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the ex-
perimenter in liquid air, recently took
a quart can of the remarkable sub
stance with him on visit to a friend.
On the way he stopped in restaurant
to eat beefsteak. The waiter brought
in hot broiled steak and placed it
in front Of Mr.. Tripler. AS soon as the
walters back was turned Mr.. Tripler
hastily opened the can and exposed the
meat to the liquid air. Instantly the
steak was frozen hard as a rock. When
the waiter came back his customer
complained that the steak was frozen.
So the waiter called the head waiter,
and the head waiter in turn blamed it
all on the cook, and the cook was at
loss to explain, and the result was
that the frozen steak was taken back
into the kitchen as mysterious curios-
ity. A new steak was broiled for Mr
Tripler, and this one he ate with much
relish.

When Will It End !?

The people are stamp-taxed; the cor
porations are not.
Every individual who sends tele-
gram or takes an express receipt must
buy war tax stamp; the rich and
powerful Western Union Telegraph
Company and Adams Express Company
are exempt from these stamp taxes.
This is Republican legislation. What
the great corporations save by Con-
gress compelling individuals to pay
their war taxes goes into the Republi-
can campaign fund, much of it.
Therefore the Republican Congress
will continue to war-tax the people and
exempt the corporations.
Secretary Gage says the war taxes
are piling up a surplus that will reach
$70,000,000 at the close of the present
fiscal year, and in all probability will
be greatly in excess of that amount.

My paw he was boy;
They must of been excitement then
When my paw was boy;

When my paw was boy.
They was lot of wonsiers done
When my paw was a boy.
How grandpaw must of loved his son,
When my paw was a boy;
He'd get the coal and chop the wood,
And think up every way he could
To always just be sweet and good
When my paw was boy.
Then everything was in its place,
When my paw was boy;
He did things with smilin' face,

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.


Well begin with a box, and the plural
is boxes,
But the plural of ox should be oxen,
not oxes;
Then one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese;
You may find lone mouse, or a whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not
hice;
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The COW in the plural may be cows or
kline,
But COW if repeated is never called
kline,
And the plural of VOW is vows, not
vine
And if I speak of foot and you show
me your feet,
And I give you boot, would pair
be called beet?
II one is a tooth and a whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
II the singular's this and the plural is
these,
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed
keese?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet hat in plural would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of
brethren
But though we may say mother we
never say methren;
Then masculine pronouns are he, his
and him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis
and SHIN.
SO the English, think, you all will
agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

FAST CONSUMING FORESTS.
One Easter Sunday Newspaper
Required Forty Acres of
VIRGIN F'0rest

virgin fOr6SU.
The serious attention of the lumber
trade is being directed to the rapid de-
pletion of the American forests, and
the application of scientific forestry in
place of the present wasteful and de-
structive methods is being inculcated
by the forestry section of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Some indication
OF the immense consumption of timber
in The manufacture of news paper in
this country is given in an excerpt
from an exchange which claims that
while it is well-known fact that the
newspapers of the world are using up
the forests for their supply of paper,
there are probably few people who will
not be startled at the announcement
made by one of the chief New York
papers that its Sunday Easter number
would take all the wood of forty acres
of virgin forest. This journal claims
to use in its morning and evening edi-
tions some eleven acres of woodland,
producing about 1000 feet to the acre.
Something like 2S000O feet of timber
was used for the supply of reading
matter to New York by this one paper
alone.
Forestry, as has been pointed out by
an authority on the subject has been
too generally regarded as an esthetic
fod nd tfc
merely AN agreeable avocation of the
very wealthy. 1t is, however, an i'm
portance TO our natural well-being far
beyond mere esthetic considerations
powerful though these may be. 1t
means the utility of vast acres of nom
agricultural lands in every part of this |
country. By its application we are as
sured of the permanency of our lumber
supply and the stability of the lumber
trade.
The regulation and conservation of
the water supply of our principal rivers
is largely dependent on the timbered
lands, and the favorable influence of
tree culture upon climate has been well
set forth by our forestry experts.
The application of scientific forestry
however, owing ito the slowness of the
growth of the trees, is not within the
means of any single person or organ
ization without the control of great
wealth. The work is for State or fed
eral governments, unless the taxation
upon forest lands shall be abolished or
reduced to minimum.
One of the methods advocated for the
introduction of scientific forestry
where the destruction of the tfmbered
and non-agriculturai lands has been
most marked, is the establishing of
national parks. An association has
been formed in Chicago to urge the
parking of a large area in Minnesota,
and in Asheville, North Carolina the
Appalachian National Park Association
has been organized for the protection
of the magnificent forests of the South
ern Appalachian mountains by placing
them under the regulation of the Gov
ernment as a national park.
These efforts are strictly in accord
with the teachings of the forestry sec
tion of the Department of Agriculture
for the support of which the nation
makes a liberal appropriation. The
Congress will take suitable measures
to give to the country the parks petit
toned for, with the vast economic re-
forms which they represent, may rea-
sonable be expected.-The Inland
Printer, Chicago and New York.

Time Announced by a Cat.


The noontime whistle is never sound

since wiseacre of cat has become
the announcer to the men of the arrival
of the dinner hour Thomas has been
a habitue of the engine room for a
number OF years, and takes great in
terest in the working of the plant.
After a short residence he discovered
that cat could find scraps to eat if he
was on hand when the men opened
their lunch baskets, and also that the
best time to visit them was when the
whistle blew. Thomas consequently
became so regular in mis- trips that the
engineer began to rely on him to notify
the men and discontinued the signal for
quitting work. About 11.45 every day
Tom arouses himself, looks wise at the
engineer, and then marches into the
foundry. The men Immediately quit
work on seeing him. and Tom proceeds
to look about for tid-bits from their
lunches. AT first he got mixed up a

REFUSED TO APPEAR
Jane Smith Would Not Come
Into Court.
ADJUDGED INSANE ANYWAY
She Ran Away From Rescue
Home Saturday,
AOJUDGED INSANE ANYWAY

Jane Smith. who escaped from the Res
cue Home on South fremont avenue
Wednesday, was adjudged insane by a
jury in the probate court yesterday. She
made no defense and in fact could not b.
persuaded to appear in the court room.
The condition Of the unfortunate woman
elected the sympathy Of all concerned in
the case. She has been an inmate of the
home since last July and it appears has
q mania fer leaving institutions Of that
character upon the impulse OF the mo
ment and without any apparent cause.
The girl is q years Old and mas had a
good education. She lost her mother
when but mere child, but has a father
and sister living near Uniondale, Iowa
Three years ago she developed signs Of
insanity and since then has wondered
about from place to place. From time
to time she received some money from
her folks, and then without any warn
ing she would suddenly disappear, to be
heard from again in some other city.
About one year ago she drifted into
Glendale and from there went to MIS-
souri,. Last July the management Of the
Rescue Home were called upon to pro
vide a shelter for the unfortunate woman
and since then she has been an inmate
OF that institution. During the months
she has been here she never found fault
with anything, still to the matron OF the
home it was evident that she was not Of
engaged in some household work she
suddenly disappeared. and though a thor
ough search was instituted to locate hec
nothing could be learned as to her where
abouts. Later it developed that she had
purchased a ticket to Haysville We'd
nesday night she was found in this city
sitting on box and crying, by former
Sheriff w. w. Hays she was thinly
clad and when asked as to the cause Of
her tears, she stated that she was pen
niless and without food and shelter.
Further questioning by Mr. Hays ELECTED
the fact that she was an inmate OF the
Rescue Homo and that she had run
away from that institution. Mr.. Hays
took her 70 his home for the night and
Thursday morning returned her to the
home. When her trial came up for a
hearing yesterday. she would nat leave
the jail nor could she be induced 10 utter
a word. DR.. St John and the matron,
Mrs. Belle Stanton, testified as 10 her
mental condition, after which Judge Hay
maker ordered her confined at the Ossa-
watomie asylum.
Until she IS taken to the last named in
by Sheriff and Mrs Simmons.
she viii be kept at the Rescue Home
The girl told Mrs. Stanton last night
that she had no reason for running away
but that she is controlled by some IN
known agent and she cannot resist the
impulse
