Wonders Of the Alps.

Myriads of British and American
tourists annually delight themselves
with the grandeur of Alpine travel
Nothing in the worlds history is more
impressive than the story of the Alps.
Ten or twelve million years ago, pos
sibly far more, long unseen line Of
weakness, a crack of fissure in the
earth's crust, stretched away from
France eastward hundreds of miles.
On this line followed huge volcanic
outbursts. Next ensued vast slow
subsidence, which went on through
geologic epochs until where Mont
Blanc now rears its summit 1870
feet was sea fringing an old conti-
nent. Large rivers emptied into 1t.
Deposits of mud, sand, gravel were laid
one on the other as the sinking went
on, until the layers became $4,000
feet. nearly 10 miles thick. Then at
last commenced a great uplifting; the
struggling subterranean forces raised
a huge load. For ages this went on
until the rocks crumbled, crushed,
contorted, rose above the waters, and
continued to rise, forming lines of
mountain chains and making Switz-
erland tableland. Every hour since
then rain and snow, river, glacier and
avalanche have been sculpturing into
peaks and carving into lakes and val
leys that vast platform with Its recent
sedimentary covering and primeval
granite core.

Slataoust, Siberia, is where the won
derful steel comes from, and many
have been the steel makers who have
been there to find out the secret Of
it's sharp blades and highly polished
surfaces. The burning of wood in the
furnaces is said to be the explana-
tion Of the success of these foundries.
The Urals are full of iron and the sta
tion platform has three little kiosks
for the sale of iron monstrosities in
the shape of paper weights and can
dlesticks, and it was there that the
officers off for Manchuria bought
swords. One man, to test the metal of
his blade, hacked at an iron post, pre-
tending it was the head of China
man. He left great cut in the solid
iron. but the sword showed never a
scratch, and was purchased scabbard
and all for $3.50.

A DOGS LOVE OF HOME.

Canine Travels Alone and Afoot from Ell
Reno, o. T., to NJ MuscatiDe. Ia.
Half starved and with feet badly
swollen and eyes sunk deeply in it's
head from privations endured during
long and wearisome journey, large
Newfoundland dog belonging to G. w.
Franklin, of this city, arrived home
today from Ell Reno. o. T., having
made the entire journey from that
city afoot.
Arriving at his masters doorstep
the faithful animal collapsed. and
would have died of fatigue but for the
Immediate use of restoratives. His
long nails had been worn most entire
ly off in his run for home, and all four
feet were swollen three times their
usual size. In spite of his fatigue the
DOG is already recovering his former
health and spirits.
Knowing his qualities as a watch
dag, Mr.. Franklin loaned him to his
brother, Melvin Franklin, who, with
his family. was about to start for Ell
Reno. The party left Muscatine on
May Is and arrived in El Reno three
weeks ago. A letter to friends in
Muscatine upon their arrival stated
that the dog was still with the COM
pany and had proven a valuable aid
in watching the wagons on the trip
westward.
No further information was re-
ceived until this morning, when the
dogs arrival gave evidence that it pre-
ferred a comfortable home in Iowa to
the wild life of the land of lottery dis
trict.
Mr.. Franklin resided at 151 Boone
street when the dog was taken away,
but during its absence moved to the
house adjoining their old residence.
The dog naturally passed by the new
home upon his return this morning
and went to the old house and knocked
violently on the front door with his
paw. Mrs. Franklin saw him and
rushed to the adjoining yard, closely
followed by her children, and threw
her arms about the dogs neck in her
joy at his return The children we're
heartbroken when the Newfoundland
fell at their feet, thoroughly worn out
after its long journey.
Mr. Franklin refused neat sum for
his dog this afternoon, saying that no
price would now tempt him to part
with so faithful an animal.-Kansas
City Journal.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-11-27

Jerome X. Jerome recalls with rev.
erence q habit of his methodical uncle
who. before packing for journey, al
ways made list" This was the sys-
tenn which he followed, gathered from
his uncles own lips:
Take piece of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re-
quire. Then so over it and see that it
contains nothing you can possibly do
without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well; put it down,
together with a change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself.
What do you wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet What do you wear
on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks.
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head. What do you want be-
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made, he
would go over it carefully, to see that
he had forgotten nothing. Then he
would go over it again and strike out
everything it was possible to dispense
with. Then he would lose the list.

Notes from Many Sources.

Turkeys shrink about one-third in
dressing.
Cruelty to an animal is always an
expensive business.
Ducks and geese should be kept sep
arate from the other poultry.
Many diseases of the horses feet
are due to wearing shoes too long.
The profits from raising poultry de-
pend on attention to the small things.
Apply lime whitewash to your sta
bles. 1t will keep them clean and
sweet.
Don't be afraid to plant apple trees.
The foreign demand for this fruit is
increasing year by year.
When training your colt teach him
to have a quick walk. Fast walking
horses always bring extra money in a
sale.
Brood sows require food, rich in the
clements of bone and muscle; corn is
not suitable, as it contains an excess
OF fat.
soO iidny VI tLe ulSSdSeS Oi Lle pigs
are contagious that it is safe plan to
separate sick pig out the first time
it is noticed.
Hogs are nearer self sustaining, and
will do more foraging than any animal
and there is less labor in preparing
foo2 for them.
A permanent pasture, if fed close and
late. ought to have some other fertiliz-
er than the dropplngs of the animals
that feed on it.
The land IS exactly like bank. You
cannot draw without depositing. Don't
expect to draw crops from the land
without depositing fertilizer.
Winter dairying is claimed by some
to be more profitable than summer
dairying, as the farmer has more time
at his disposal to care for his COWS.
Your potato crop should be harvest
ed as soon as ripe. Those that are not
wanted Immediately should be stored
in dry, cool and comparatively dark
place.
If you desire to know what to feed
your flock of hens when they are shut
up just watch them when they are
gathering food for themselves and
henceforth you will not deprive them
of green food, gravel, etc. They can
pick up many bits of coal, broken
earthen ware, and in fact, variety of
everything lying around loose.
