Wood engraving, the art of cutting
designs on wood In relief, Is said TO
have been known and practiced by the
Chinese as far back In the worlds his
tory as the reign Of the famous EN-
peror WI Wang, 1120 B. O. Wood
stamps were without doubt used by
the ancient Egyptians and Romans for
marking brick and other articles Of
clay and in various European countries
for attesting deeds and documents at
very early period, when writing was
quite a rare accomplishment. Wood
engraving, as we now understand 1t,
dates from the beginning of the If
teenth century and was used at that
time in Germany for printing playing
cards and figures of saints. The earli-
est known example Is In collection
made by Earl Spencer. 1t represents
st. Christopher carrying the infant
Saviour across the sea and was found
pasted within the cover Of Latin
Ms. In an old convent In Bavaria,
dated 1923.

'The Rope of Genus" Is the name of
famous picture painted by Polygno-
tus, Greek artist, who died about 426
B. G. He was the FIRST who gave life.
character and expression to pictures.
According to Pliny. he opened the
mouth and showed the teeth OF his fig-
ures and was the first to paint women
with transparent draperies and rich
headdresses. The picture represents
Genus as a poor man, weaving a rope
Of straw, while behind him stands an
ass consuming the other end OF the
rope. The silent lesson thus conveyed
u said to have had a wholesome effect
upon the wife Of Genus, whose ex-
travagance had been his ruin. 30 that
she became frugal and thrifty and
helped him to rise from perjury to
great prosperity. The phrase "like the
rope Of Genus" signifies proftless Ia
Dor.

4 Heartfelt tribute to . FRIEND.

A friend of former United States
Marshal Isaac o. Barnes having died,
he attended the funeral He arrived
promptly and seated himself In the
crowded room to await the services.
For some reason there was a very long
Delay, and the solemn silence of the
darkened room was anything but con-
genial to a man of Mr.. Barnes dispo-
sition. The heat also was very Cypress
I've.
Tanning himself vigorously with his
hat and twisting uneasily In his chair,
Barnes remained silent for what to
him was q very long time. But at last,
being unable to contain himself longer,
be leaned over toward solemn look
ing man on his right and remarked in
hoarse whisper audible all over the
room, II presume you were well ac-
quainted with Billy" referring to the
deceased.
Yes, indeed" said the stranger HE
was a very fine man."
II should say he was replied
Barnes, "and smart, too; smarter than
lightning Why, sir" he continued In q
louder WHISPER, getting excited, III he
had had the running of this funeral
he'd been underground an hour ago.

origin of the Metric system.

Some very interesting facts have
been collected about the foot, the most
widely used measure Of length In mod
ern times. The measure Is derived
from the length Of the human foot, but
apparently has varied more than that
portion Of the skeleton can possibly
have done In historic times. The an-
cient Welsh foot, for instance. was
nine inches long. whereas the Piedmont
foot was twenty inches. In modern
times 1t has varied from the Span
ish foot, Of less than eleven inches, to
the Venice foot, of more than thirteen
inches. Almost every country has used
a foot measure of different length. 1t
was this confusion which led the
French to devise the metric system.

The Minneapolis Times
SuSpendS Publication.

The Minneapolis Times suspended
publication Sunday, Sentember "a, after
an existance of nearly 16 years. The
Minneapolis Tribune has contracted to
fill its unexpired subscription list and
arrangements are made to pay all the
current bills and the bonds which are
secured by mortgage on the plant and
other property.
This discontinuance of the Times was
announced on the last day of publica-
ton. Ever since last January frequent
rumors were in circulation of suspen-
sion of the paper, which failed to take
place. Finally, when least looked for,
the paper stopped.
With the disappearance of the Times
Minneapolis now has only one morning
paper the Tribune, the daily paper of
the largest circulation in the northwest.
From the standpoint of the readers it
is probably decided advantage to have
one great strong paper than to have
part of the reading public patronize
another paper. The Tribune now has
over 100000 paid circulation, making it
nearly twice as great as any other.
Some people will miss the Times, but
then we remember that the Tribune
will be benefited and materially
improved

CTS and eommunications-eY merch- pression seal cutter is regarded as one of great trust and danger. Such a per- son is obliged to keep a register of every ring seal he makes, and if one be lost or stolen from the party for whom it was cut, his life would answer for making another just like it. The loss of a signet ringis regardedas disastrous calamity, and the alarm which an ori- ental exhibits at the loss of the signe can only be understood by a reference to these circumstances, as the cutter is always obliged to alter the real date at which the seal was cut. The only re- source of a person who has lost his seal is to have another made with new date, and to write to his correspondents to inform them that all accounts, contracts and communications to which his former signet is affixed are null from the day on which it was lost.

The County Exhibit

If every county in the state made
exhibits as extensive as the.tine dis
plays made by somewhere ear ten
counties at Huron last week of course
the agricultural building would have
to be a pretty extensive affair. To
be sure, these exhibits could be much
condensed and be still satisfactory.
To the writer's way of thinking the
county exhibit is more satisfactory
than multitudinous individual eXhib-
its from overall the state. The rivalry
of counties is much more intense than
individual rivalry could be. These
collective displays show alta glance
the best that the producers Of the
county have done for the year. 1t is
likely most residents of this county
who saw little Sanborn county's IN
~rivalled exhibit, felt a twinge Of re-
morse that the big county of Brown,
with all its wealth of products, had
done nothing to help make the show
ing which was SO creditable to the
state. The visitor went away carry
ing the impression that the little
county down the Jim was a most
fruitful portion of the state.

tankage as q food for pigs and the ben

attending this use, the Indiana station
has carried out experiments which
show that as a feeding material for
pigs tankage offers certain advantages.
1t contains a high percentage OF pro,

phosphoric acid for pigs Is useful IN

Of adding a food rich in protein (such

q better balanced ration and securing

Sour Cream Tests Poorly

The following is an extract from a
circular of instructions to patrons Of
a creamery: "No buttermaker, even
with the most modern appliances,
can make good butter from sour milk
or cream, and much if not most of
the science of modern dairying lies in
the car of milk and milk utensils.
Our patrons must understand that
their milk or cream,must come to the
creamery sweet, or if it does not they
will have to be the losers. In other
words, we ought to grade the pro-
ducts received, and we will be I'M
able to pay as much for off cream as
we can for good sweet cream. Not
only this, but the moment your cream
begins to sour the batterfat begins
to decompose and you lose at the test
whether we will it so or not.

sowing Rape In Corn.

Farmers, where corn is grown as a
principal crop, are frequently advised
to combine sheep or pigs in their oper-
atoms, says American Cultivator. The
advice usually rendered is to pop in
some catch crop like rye as soon as the
land is clear of the corn crop, and
wherever the plan has been tried it has
been very successful. Mr.. F. M. Web
ster of New York state, who is an ar
dent advocate Of cultivated pasturage,
has been trying to save time by sowing
rape broadcast among the growing
maize just before horse hoeing it for
the last time. The rape thus sown does
well, and by the time the grain is har-
vested there is a fine lot of feed for
sheep and cows.
