Feeding His Stock on Sawdust.

Herman Schmidt, Caroline county
farmer, read in German technical pa.
per that wood properly prepared would
make gnod animal food. AS there are
number Of .sawmills in his neighbor-
hood he is putting the plan into prac-
tcal operation. The theory is that
animals have decided liking for
vouus shoots. roots Of shrubs, tree
bark and other heavy food Of ,ae same
oa,ure, and experiments have proved
that the nutriment contained in such
growth remains in it even after it has
become wood. And that with a little
salt and water added to it the sawdust
will prove a highly nourishing diet.
Pine, birch, alder, beech, aud other
woods have been analysed chemically,
aud the wood has vastly more albumen,
nitrogen and fatty substances than
straw. To the salt and water MIR.
Schmidt is adding potato peeliugs,
corn husks, canning house refuse or
any other slop he can obtain.-Baiti-

Where Women Propose.

10 the Ukraine, Russia, the woman
does all the courting. When she falls
In love with man, she goes to ais
house and informs him of the state of
her feelings. If he reciprocates, all
is we'll, and the formal marriage is du-
ly arranged. If, however, he is un-
willing she remains there, hoping to
coax him to better mind. The poor
fellow cannot treat her with the least
discourtesy, nor has he the consola-
tion Of being able to turn her out, as
her friends in such case would feel
bound to avenge the insult. His rem
edy, therefore, if determined. not to
marry her, is to leave his home and
stay away as long as she is in it. A
similar practice to thatin the Ukraine,
exists among the Zuni tribe Of In
diaus. TIE woman does all the court
lug and also controls the situation af-
ter marriage. To her belong all the
children. and descent, including inher-
itance, ia also on her side.

The Dog and the Kettle.

Mr. @. j. Cornish, in Animal Life
(Euglaud). tells tory illustrative Of
che sound sense of dog. A retriever
not long ago was sent into ditch to
bring out . winged partridge. The dog
picked up the scent, .ushed along tho
bottom of the ditch under the bfam-
blea, and after q little cropping about
emerged on the bank Of the ditch with
an old rusty kettle, holding it by the
hapdle. Laughter and ohaff greeted
this Performance. "Stop bit, said
the dog 8 master. "He-c. Rover, give
it to me" and the dog brought the
kettle to him. Taking it frnm his
mouth his master pat his hand into
the kettle, the lid being off, ho took
out the partridge. Chased by the dog
it had crept into the kettle to hide,
and the dog, not being able to draw it
out, just brought the lot.

Brevity may be the soul Of wit,
but story published in the New

can be both long winded and witty.
The story has to do with minister

Tanned A Ballfrog.

,lr. D. L. Arey's young son. of
about Z years, has accomplished an un-
usual feat in tanning a bullfrog.
Several months since Mr.. Arey went
seiniug and caught several bulIfrogs.
He took them home md his little son,
upon seeing them. determined to make
q pet of large frog. The boy inn
mediately set about cultivating friend

closest intimacy with his little master.
Now, the boy calls the frog and he an /,

frog begins to croak. Another order
causes the frog to jump into a wagon

Origin Of Ice Cream.

Ice cream has been brought to It's
present. state Of perfection by a gradu-
al process Of evolution from the origi-
nal idea which dates back at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century,
says What to Eat. At that tipe, iced
fruits aud cups made Of ice first ap-
peared at banquets. Like many other
good things for the table ice cream
claims Paris for its birthplace, and
yet it was not Frenchmau but an
Italian named Precope Couteaux who
first thought out the idea of icing lem
onades and liquors. From this was
gradually evolved over 100 years la
ter, ice cream, or iced butter, as it was
then called, from its resemblance to
that article Of food.
While all civilized nations serve
ices in great variety, we are apt to
think Of ice cream as an essentially
American dish. probably because froz-
en- desserts of all kinds are more gene
rally used in this country than any
other. Ice cream frst made its ap-
pearance in America in Philadelphia
ct the end Of the eighteenth century.
It was then considered a great luxury,
aud consequently was rarely seen e.
cept on state occasions. 1t was not
within the reach of ordinary mortals
until 1900, when an Italian confec-
tioner established an ice cream house,
as it vas then called, at Germantown,
q suburb Of Philadelphia.

CATCH PHRASES.

Their Utility In Advancing the inter.
ests Of Business Men.
There are many instances of
where suitable catch line well
drilled into people has been Of great
value in building business. The
best catch line is one that fits your
business best, and the discovery of
such a line is apt to be due more to
inspiration than to effort. Pick the
distinctive feature OF your stock or
business methods and endeavor to
express it in a breath.
IT you can coin q phrase that ex-
presses your central business idea
or your store alone, you can make
good use of it. 1t puts into con-
densed form an idea that will get
hold of people and influence them
II persistently presented to them.
One fact about your business we'll
lodged in the heads of people is as
good as score that do not pene-
trate.
You can make people believe
about what you like if you go about
it properly. If man comes to YOU
today and tells you there will be q
panic inside of six months, you will
pay no attention to him. If another
comes tomorrow with the same sto-
ry, he will get no attention, but you
will idly wonder what is getting into
folks. The third man you will ar
que the matter with. The fourth
will get more of hearing, and you
will begin to see signs of di5lster
yourself. By the time the tenth
man has made the statement you
will be ready to tell folks the same
Gtory yourself.
Probably you yourself could not
be influenced in such manner, but
the common run of people are built
that way and will believe 2hat they
are told often enough. That is why
an expressive catch phrase does
good. It comes to stand for YOU
and your methods and of necessity
is remembered when goods in your
line are wanted.
AS ordinarily used such a phrase
is of little value, because it is not
properly hammered into people.
Such a line should go on letter
heads, billheads, stationery, envel-
opes, should be seen about the store
and should appear on labels. Put it
on sticAer to attach to goods and
packages. Let people see it every
where. If it means what it says,
people are going to respond to it,
