OLD TIMES IN powEsH1EK.

/ MonteZuma was at an early day
quite trading point, but merchants in
I the country were not anxious to trade
their goods for country produce. and II
some of them did exchange goods for
the products of the farm, the cost Of
transporting the goods to the county
and the prospective cost of carrying
the produce to Keokuk was so large in
both cases, the producer, If he disposed

hoe or knife by the time he got 1t into
his cabin represented days OF hard la
Dor. Even those who had brought with
them from the east horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep for the purpose Of entering
into the stock raising business, soon
found that, while the country was ex-
tremely we'll adapted to that kind Of
industry, they could not succeed in the
business on account of the great dis
lance to market. In this day of traf-
fic and bargaining, when there are
stock buyers and grain dealers at near
~ every cross-road, we can scarcely
realize the difficulty and uncertainty
of getting anything. This trouble or
iginated in the fact OF there being no
means of transportation 1t was true
then, even as now. that consumers in
the older settled parts Of the country
were anxious to buy Iowa corn, hogs
and cattle; it was true then az now
that hundreds OF men with money, and
of speculative turn OF mind, were ready
for trade and traffic; 1t was the two
hundred miles of compa rative wilder
ness and impossible roads which de-
prived the pioneer Of the just rewards
of his labor.

School For DOGS.

A school for dogs has been OPEN
ed in the city of Paris. The object
of the school is not to teach letters,
but politeness. The school is fur
nished with chairs, tables and rugs.
The pupils are trained to welcome
visitors by jumping up, wagging the
tail and giving low bark. When
the visitor leaves, the dog accom-
panies him to the door and bows his
farewell by bending his head to the
floor. lie is also trained to pick up
a handkerchief, glove or fan that
has dropped and return it to its
owner. He is taught further to
walk with proud and prancing steps
when out with his mistress.

CORNSTAlk PAPER.

American farmers and newspa.
per men, says the st. Paul Pho
neer Press, are very likely to be-
come joint beneficiaries of "a great
scehme of cooperation in making
the most of the corn crop. Not
of the grain merely, but of the
whole plant, stalk, leaves, pith,
tassels, husks, cobs and kernels.
After a long course of experiment
tation, carried on at Kankaee, ILL.,,
under the encouragement of the
National Agricultural Depart
ment, it is found that high grade
paper can be protitably manufac.
tured, in different varieties, from
various parts of the plant. One
kind is made from the hard shell
of the stalk, another from the pith
anda third from the husk. "From
the pith is turned out the finest
grade of oil paper, almost equal to
linen paper, so it is claimed by
experts at the department A
machine has been invented, and is
now being manufactured, which
will take the cornstalk, with the
ear still on il, husk the ear, separ-
ate the husk from the stalk, and
then remove the shell from the
pith. Sending this machine into
the fields, thepaper manufactures
will propose to farmers to buy
their corn crops as they stand in
the fields. If the farmers wish
the corn after it has been husked,
it will be passed back to them;
otherwise it will be marked by the
owner of the machine, who will
convert every remaining part of
the plant into some form OF manu-.
facture.

piece of writing paper. Place the
cork on the table and fasten the nee
die in it, point up, find the center

the other down. Now we are ready

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Birds Of the Sea That Are Careless In
Their Nesting.

Nearly all sea birds are far more
careless in their nesting than their
cousins who live inland. The terms,
the skua, the puffins, the black
throated diver and the guillemot
really make no nests at all. The
puffins, however, usually borrow a
rabbit burrow and are not particu-
lar whether its original owners have
done with it or not. If they inter-
fe-e or even try to pass, a peck from
the puflin's great parrot shaped bill
is enough to warn them against try
ing to experiment the second time.
The auks are birds of the north
ern seas and are perhaps the finest
divers of all the feathered tribes.
Their short wings look in fact far
more like fins than wings, and, un-
like gulls, the auks catch their prey
beneath the water. The auk's selec-
tion of spot 10 lay her eggs is very
strange. She chooses a bare, bro
ken ledge Of hard rock overhanging
the waves. 1t looks as though it
were a feat to balance eggs in such
a place, and the marvel is that the
first gale does not send them rolling
over the crags. But an auk's eggs
are so shaped as to prevent such
calamity. They are much larger at
one end than at the other, and so in
stead of rolling straight ahead like
a ball they turn around in a circle
when started and so keep their
places upon the rocks.

AT the bank of England, saws
Chammer's Journal, they never
by any chance get sovereigns
that are overweight. All they
have to do there in weighing their
coins is to distinguish between
those that are of full weight and

ton long enough to wear away

weight, while sometimes, of
course, they are under: so 1t is
necessary to sort them out into
three categories-light, heavy
and good. This delicate business
is done, with unerring precision
by a long row of clever little ma
chimes.
Into these machines single
piles of shining new coins are put:
and, quite automatically, the me.
chanism takes each coin, puts 1t
it into the scale, and in a fraction
over two seconds-at the rate of
twenty-five a minute-weighs it.
If the coin is light the machine
shoots it into the proper recep-
tacle; if heavy, into another, and
if it is of correct weight within

call 1t at the mint-represented
