WHY WOMEN CARRY WATCHES
There Is Good Reason Why Most Re
pairing Is Done for Men.

A contemporary quotes Jeweler as
saying that Of the hundred-Odd watch
es left with him to be cleaned about
ninety, on the average, belong to men,
says 1.-THE Providence Journal. The ex-
PLANTATION given by this authority Is
that a woman's watch rarely requires
overhaulng because she is not addict
ed to waistcoats; whereas the waist
coat pocket in which most men carry
their watches Is II scavenger box in
miniature, filled with dust. lint and
cigar ashes, which find their way
through the stem setting and between
The inner and outer cases.
This jeweler is evidently a polite
jeweler. At least, he is too gallant to
tell the whole truth. He knows, of
course. that he is seldom called upon
to fix womens watches, because won-
tn rs n rule don't care a hurrah about

pieces. II they wind them twice or
thrice year it is because they have
nothing better to do In SO far rs her
watch Is concerned, it makes no differ
ence to woman whether it Is 11:l5
IN the morning when she retires for
the night or 3 O'Clock in the afternoon.
She las watch--usually it is II gold

That's enough.

SHEDDING IN SWEDEN.
Only Country in Which the Sparkstot-
ting Is In Com mon Use.


ting Is In Com anon Use.
The Swedes have made fine art OF
shedding Their fastest sled is called
the sparkstotting and is an exceed
ingly light sled that the inhabitants
of Norrland, Il province situated at the
north of Sweden, employ during the
winter as a means of locomotion.
The use Of 1t now extends through
out Sweden, where races upon this
original vehicle constitute one Of the
most highly appreciated sports Of win
ter. Among other people of the north,
in Russia. Scotland and Germany, this
sport Is entirely unknown, fact that
Is somewhat extraordinary, considering
that the sparkstotting can be employ
ed in all countries in which the rigors
Of winter permit VI the use Of ordi-
nary sleds.
The sparkstottlng Is constructed EN-
tirely of Norway spruce. 1t Is straight,
Of elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists Of two
runners, curved upward in front, and
six and one-half feet in length To
each Of the runners is fixed an upright
that serves both as point Of support
and tiller. The entire affair Is con-
nected by two or three crosspieces. one
of which supports a light seat placed
twelve inches above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs perceptl-
bly, from the Vesterbotten type. In
which the runners, which are much
shorter, are not shod with iron, but
are we'll creased or impregnated with
boiling tar The lightest and best type
for racing is the one manufactured at
Umea Norway. In order to push the
sparkstotting the racer, bearing with
both hands upon the eXtremlties OF
the uprights, places his left foot upon
the runner to the left. and then with
the right foot strikes the ground at
regular intervals so rs to propel the
sled forward.
If the snow Is very hard and the
racer is not provided with spiked shoes
it is necessary for him to fix steel calks
to the soles. In recent times hOri-
zontal bar, breast high, has been placed
between the uprights. This modifica-
ton renders the steering easier and
besides permits Of governing with
single hand. Upon a level route the
sparkstotting reaches pretty good
speed without great effort.
An experienced racer, when the
snow is in good condition. can easily
attain the speed Of horse on trot
In ascents it Is necessary to push the
sparkstotting or to drag 1t, but this
does not cause much fatigue, owing
to its lightness and the feeble surface
In contact with the snow. With this
sled it is possible to run very fast.

Sent out of our houses, sent into the

Should step round the corner and pause

Where other boys feet have paused

Should pass through the gateway of

Don't let us forget. by our kind, loving

To show we remember their pleasures

Though our souls may be vexed with the
problems of life.
And worn with besetments and toiling

Our hearts will keep younger-your tired

If we give them place in their inner

And to our life's last hour twill he one

That we kept small corner--a place

Satisfactory Truck Crop.

Growing sweet corn for canning
purposes in the vicinity Of Ashville,
In Pickaway County, Ohio. has be-
come a very important industry. A
few years ago these rich river bot
toms were devoted largely to general
field crops, but with the erection OF
large cannery conditions have large
iy changed in this section. Most
farmers now devote large areas to the
growing of sweet corn. For the can

devoted to this crop for this one con-
