Germany. reonomlo Method..

The Countess Aida Won Krockow
writes from Germany to the Christian
Register: Germans find that it pays
to encourage peasants to free their
fields of stones; the property rises in
Withdrawing value. The stones
thrown into heaps by the roadside are
purchased by the district road repair
ing commission. Poor men, who
otherwise would have to be supported
by the almshouses, are hired to break
these stones, and then are trained to
the work of repairing the roadbed.
The money to pay the men is made by
auctioneering off to the highest bid
der the crop of the fruit trees that
were planted on both sides of the
highway when it was built, and which
are nourished well by the manure
that falls along the road and is push
ed at intervals by road tender upon
their roots. The purchaser of the
crop sees to 1t that his fruit is not
stolen. The road commissioners have
no bother about that And, although
the sale be by auction, it brings in
considerable. Every burgher knows
how much, because the sales of high
way fruit crops are published in the
local newspapers.

HAS 4 NOVEL ADVERTISING IDEA

Philadelphia Tailor sends Loaded Pea
nuts Co Prospective Patrons.
A Philadelphia tailor has evolved
novel idea In advertising. He sends
through the mails, unsealed, white
boxes OF pasteboard, and each boz
proves, on being opened, to contain
some six or seven peanuts. The re-
cipient of this cannot help but won
der. There is nothing but his own adj
dress on the plain little box and with
in there is no card nor anything else
TO show him whence the odd packet
came.
What fool joker" he mutters, has
been sending me peanuts?" and he
opens one to find, neatly folded in the
empty shall. a little poster reading.
"It's no joke. We make the best fit-
.klRgN Clothes in Philadelphia. New
spring styles now ready" Then fol-
lows the tailor's name.
The nuts. as an examination proves,
have been neatly split, their contents
removed, the advertisements inserted,
and then the shells glued together
again SO skillfully as to defy the
Joints detection. It Is novel idea,
says the Philadelphia Record, in ad-
vertising and 1t is making a good deal

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS
MADE.

The Health Department OF New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which 1t was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum powder"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health. and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
cheap" articles of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream of tar
tar brands are the most economical.
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Scotch Outlines Unique Building Designed for City OF No


a party of Scotchmen arrived In New

the clerk should know nothing about
1t. The clerk read the article in the
Weekly Scotsman which described the
barrel house and then marched the
party to the bar to have one with him.
He isn't sure yet but that some such
thing may have been planned for New

How to Drive Out Sorrel.

On lands that are given over to the
occupancy of sorrcl. the application
of lime will often bring about re-
markable results. The fact that
many such pieces of land are on hill
sides and hilltops leads the farmer
to think that his lands are by no
means acid. He has learned to think
of acid soils as being lowlands in
muck beds and the like. 1t may be
somewhat of a surprise to him to
learn that uplands are also frequent
ly acid. A good crop of sorrel COM
ing in naturally is a good proof OF
this. An application of lime will
work wonders. 1t will put the soil
in condition to sustain other and
more valuable plants. Glover, blue
grass and timothy will be found
coming in and driving out the sor'
rel
