Big Hotel In the Woods.

The comfort for the. visitor to an ex-
position was never the subject for so
much intelligent thought and prepare
ton as it has been at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition at S.. Louis.
One of the features that cannot fail to
appeal to the visitor is the convenience
and comfort afforded by the Inside Inn,
a structure of 2,257 rooms, covering an
area of 400 by 800 feet, wholly within the
Worlds Fair grounds.
A leisurely walk of five minutes will
land the visitor on the main terrace in
front of the Festive Hall, the center Of
the "main picture" of the Exposition,
the grandest spectacle ever produced by
man. Another five minutes walk and
the visitor MAY find himself on The
Pike, a street of amusement, full mills
long, with the shows Of all nations IN
gay and enticing array.
Ia the ten minutes walk many OF the
main exhibit palaces have been passed.
These comprise the largest and grandest
collection OF architectural triumphs ever
assembled in any one place. Notwith-
standing it's close proximity to these
scenes of gaiety and splendor. noise and
confusion, the Inside Inn offers de-
lightful retreat. During the noon hour
the visitor may retire for brief rest and
resume his delightful task of sight-see-
ing refreshed and all the more able to
appreciate and enjoy the Worlds Fair
wonders.
The rates at this hotel within the
grounds are no higher than those charg-
ed elsewhere. A good room may be had
for $50 per day, including admission to
the grounds. Other rooms may be had
up to $500 per day, according to the
luxuries demanded. There is restau-
rant in the building with a seating capa-
city for $500 persons.

EVERYONE in city knows something
about a telephone and most Of the resi-
dents talk through one more or less.
The same is fast becoming true of the
country, where every village has tele-
phone and also a great many private
residences. An observer has arisen and
boldly asserts we are liable, by using it
SO universally, to become a left-eared
people-that is, we will hear better with
the left than right ear. Speaking on this
subject, the American Telephone Jour
nal remarks: mine out Of every ten
who use telephone hold the receiver to
that ear, and many find it impossible to
hear over telephone through their
right ear. The fact that the majority Of
men and women are right handed and
that the constructors of the first tele-
phones took due notice of this is respon-
sible for this new condition of left-eared
people. Watch telephone for half a
day, and it will be seen that almost
every person that uses that instrument
will place the receiver to the left ear.
Or, even il the instrument is resting on
"a table, the left ear will be the one used
when the new instruments were con
ructed the receivers were allowed to
main on the left side, as the users had
become accustomed to this All this
has created race of left-eared people,
fDr, having become accustomed to using
the receiver at the left ear, it was found
that the hearing of that ear was better
and more sensitive. Every telephone
girl in the exchanges has the receiver on
her left ear, and the man who uses the
right ear is unusual"

Magazines for Wisconsin Free Library
Commission.

Of the great losses recently suffered
by the Free Library Commission, one
which will be greatly felt by the public
libraries of the state is the loss of the
clearing house for magazines. It is now
necessary to make an unusual effort to
collect magazines because it must be
built up from the bottom. The Com
mission appeals for aid at this time of
it's greatest need 1t asks it's friends for
all kinds of good magazines, such as
Forum, Century, Harpers, Atlantic
Scribner's, North American Review, Nc
Clure's. Cosmolopitan. Review of Re-
views, Worlds Work, St. Nicholas.
Youths Companion, Ladies' Home Jour
nal, scientific periodicals and good books
Librarians are asked to encourage local
clubs to make special effort to collect
magazines for the Commission. The
Commission will gladly pay transporta
ton on all contributions and asks that
donors will kindly send notice of ship
ment and state plainly on the shipping
aabel the source Of the gift, that due
acknowledgment may be made.
The clearing house was established for
@the purpose of helping libraries to build
up reference collections by supplying
volumes and parts of volumes to COM
plete SETS Since it has been in opera
tioD it has been able to serve nearly all
of the libraries in the state and has been
especially helpful to the small libraries
not able to afford expensive reference
books. For little more than the expense
of binding, libraries may acquire invalu-
able material for reference work, and
even if binding cannot be afforded the
magazines can still be made convenient
for use by tying them neatly into VOL
umes, arranged by volume and number
as they would be in the bound book
Besides the contributions made to
public libraries, the Commission has dis
tributed many thousands of the more
recent magazines at travelling library
stations, in other rural communities
where it has not been possible to send
travelling libraries and in lumber camps.
These magazines are circulated from
home to home until the' are worn out,
land it has often been found that the
iraagazlnes sent with travelling libraries
;are more popular than some of the books.
All gifts should be sent by freight and

THIS is indeed, year of disastrous
fires. A recent severe confagration in
Baltimore and the loss to Rochester.
The manner in which the fire insurance
companies have met the severe loss oc-
casioned by these fires is striking proof
of their financial strength. Called upon,
in three months time, to meet losses
such as ordinarily would have been
spread over year, the companies doing
a national and international business
have shown no sign of weakness.

notified that their bid for the building
of new $4,000 school house in Keno

was the lowest of the nine submitted and
that the contract had been awarded to
them. In all the bids there was diff
ference Of $4,000 and five of them varied
only few hundred dollars. The edifice
is to be- built of brick, with Spanish red
tile roofing, and will contain ten, rooms.
Work will be commenced at once.
Friday afternoon in circuit court the
drag net OF the grand jury brought in it's
first victims. They were Thomas Null
cairns, charged with perjury. and Mrs.
Jeanette Rice (Witham), charged with
keeping house of ill-fame. Mulcairns,
who is night switchman on the North
Western road, was arrested while in bed
at his home in the fifth ward. He was
greatly surprised but made no demon

factory is $4,000; on the building. owned
by GAINESVILLE Realty Go, $4,000 The
insurance on the building is $4,000 and
$4,000 on the stock The fire caught
near the office and before the fire de.
partment arrived had eaten it's way into
six large watts OF gasoline and wood alco-
hol, which exploded and spread the fire
so that the department was powerless to
check the flames. Fully realizing that
it was useless to try and save the factory

E0ne Meal as = Fertilizer.

Mr. Groome, of Warrenton, Va. re-
Gently wrote the Bureau Of Soils. at
Washington for an explanation Of the
reason for the long continued appre-
ciable benefit derived from the appli-
cation of raw bone meal as a fertil-

no doubt be read with interest:
In reply to your favor Of the 10Th
inst. l would say that we recognize
that such fertilizers as bone meal will
continue to exercise an influence over
crops for a considerable length of
time. But taking fertilizers in gen
eral, and especially the more soluble
ones, it seems to be general law that
they prove most beneficial in the in
itial stages of plant growth before the
plants have developed large and Wig
orous root system and are, in a sense,
better adapted to looking out for their
own food supplies.
Raw bone meal is essentially cal
cium phosphate, and is slightly soiu-
BILE itself. But it is one Of a class of
substances which is readily acted upon
and decomposed by water, forming in
this case, lime and phosphoric acid;
and while the lime goes into solution
to but very slight extent. fairly
large amount of phosphoric acid is dis
solved. The amount that will De lis
solved depends largely on the proper
ton Of solid phosphate to the volume
Of water. While it takes some days
for the solution to dissolve all the
phosphoric acid it can, the larger part
is taken up in a few hours. Carbon
dioxide, which is always present in
the soil and soil mixture, helps to dis
solve phoSphoric acid from calcium,

Practical Advice.

The world seems to be crazy over
quantity. Indeed. those who speculate
in raw material are interested in quaN-
tity-it gives them a greater range OF
speculatiOn-a greater opportunity to
beat down first prices. the prices paid

tunity to push up the price on the Sec

That the growers may receive greater

we want them to produce SO much
that it puts them at the mercy Of spec

to see farmers in a condition where, if
they over-produce one year they may
