Tells of French Grating.

f. B. Thomas, son of Walter
Thomas, formerly master mechanic
of the Michigan division of the Big
Four, now a master mechanic in one
of the largest shops on the Panama
canal, writes that the cause OF the
failure of the French government to
build the canal was due to graft.
He is an engineer and has made a
careful study of the conditions. He
says: "The French spent millions of
dollars for useless stuff. | could write
book on French graft They
bought hundreds of thousands oil
small dump cars, which hold about
ten shovels full of dirt each These
are now being used for fuel"

An Unwise Order.

The order of the postoffice depart
ment that the stamp of time of re
ceipt of letter in local postoffices
be omitted was unwise. There are a
hundred reasons why that stamp
should appear. The time of receipt
os letter at the postoffice and its
delivery to the person addressed is
often very important feature in a
discussion over business incidents. A
petition for a resembling of the order
will probably be sent from various
parts of the country, especially the
large cities.-Elkhart Review.

Evils of Paying In Advance.

"Never pay for anything in ad-
vance and half the trouble in house
holds and in housekeeping will be
avoided" said the manager of large
business house.
1t is habit on the: part of some
people, this paying in advance habit,
and if you will take the trouble to
keep tab on it you will observe that
such people are more or less, con
siderably more than less, in hot
water, fguratively, most of the time.
This is particularly true as regards
the performance of labor on the part
ofother individuals, or where certain
things or articles are to be made for
another. It is the indulgent, easy
housekeeper who pays her help off be-
fore it is due who always sings the
saddest and the longest song on the
household domestic problem.

STORY OF A HOG.

Dressed Animal Mysteriously Disappears

Gottwerth says that he ordered a
dressed hog from Mr.. Michael Ma
honey and that on Tuesday Mike
backed up his wagon in front of the
butcher shop to deliver the carcass.
"Here's your hog, Gottwerth!'' cried
Mike from the wagon box and then
descended to the ground. BY this
time Gottwerth had come out from his
shop and Mike proceeded to remove
the end board from the'wagon. Stimuli
taneously they looked into the box.
It was empty! Each looked at the
other in amazement. ''By the sons of
Tipperary!". cried Mike, "Here I've
been coming stidily along the road
without stop and yet some divil has
managed to spiritaaway me hog, be
jabers!" Whether Mike has recovered
his hog or not we have not learned,
neither have we been able to ascertain
whether Gottwerth told the truth.

time, otherwise they would be of no
use to you, pay on delivery; then you
will in all probability get them at the
hour you, and not the other party,
want them delivered.
If you will take the trouble to OBJ
serve in lawsuits brought by trades
men most of them are for balances due
rather than for the entire amount of
the bill. One of the main reasons
why the well-to-do seem to get what
they want, and you don't if you are
poor, is because they seldom pay for
articles until they are received, and
not then if they don't suit, but in your
case it is you and not the other fellow

The Time for Lawn Making,

A fall-sown lawn has much better
chance of succeeding than one sown
in the spring. Lime is a very good
fertilizer for grass. The reason that
there is a blue grass region in Ken
lucky is because it is also limestone
region.
The best method of procuring lime
for use on the lawn is to purchase
from a local dealer in the spring a
sufficient quantity of new lime. This
should be placed in the cellar of the
dwelling in barrels which should be
only half filled, or partly fill some
boxes. AS the lime absorbs moisture
from the air it will help to keep the
cellar dry during the summer, and by
fall the lime will become thoroughly
Stacked. Apply this air-slacked lime
to the lawn, any time after the ground
has frozen, at the rate of one bushel
to each thousand square feet of lawn,
or at the rate of forty bushels to the
acre. -
Lime sweetens soil, and if it is ap-
piled each year will rid the lawn OF
many plants that thrive in sour soil,
such as moss and sorrel. 1t is not
advisable to top dress lawn with any
kind of stable manure for it contains
weed seeds. Bone meal is just as
cheap and more lasting in effect
