Swords Into a Piow.

During the centennial celebration in
Philadelphia in 1876 the members OF
the Universal Peace union assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary of
the foundation of the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a pillow as symbol OK
peace. The weapons were afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement, which, however, instead Of
being a pillow, took the shape of the
ordinary field cultivator.
This cultivator may now be seen in
the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over
it is an inscription giving the history
of the implement.

The ACE of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this er;
as the "age of iron," and there is nj
gainsaying that, industrially speaking
iron is a precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces
sary to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead Soft, yielding
pliable, it is not much like it's sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place In the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
In which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of US thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations Of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are ''just as good" as I
white lead But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and |
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel OF tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products OF
he metal lead, such as htharge
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
'ential to many of the arts In which
We never imagine that lead would be
II the least use.
Verify, we live In an age of lead
g well as of iron.

IN Z. Mound Styeef. Columbus. Ohio.
Lay FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
l is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervoussystem
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
many people.

All the Victims Who Died at the
Stake Had Red Hair.
Socst, in Westphalia, Prussia, was
the Salem Of the European witch burn
Ing era, and, by the way, the witch
craft delusion lasted for three or four
centuries longer there than it did in
the colony of Massachusetts Bay. The
judicial tribunal before which all West
phalian witches were forced to appear
was called the vehm-gericht and was
composed of the most superstitious set
of bigots in the province. The trees are
still standing under which this witch
trying congress regularly met on the
commons Of Soest, and the records Of
their proceedings are still to be found
In the archives ut the town hall.
One of the most noticeable things in
these queer old records of the days of
bigotry and blind superstition is the
fact that the pages upon which are
written the proceedings of cases in
which the accused were condemned to
the stake are all adorned with locks of
the culprit's hair. The Individual hairs
of this queer collection of tufts exhibit
all the variations usually noticed in
such assortments, being long and short,
coarse and fine and straight and curly.
In one very characteristic feature, how
ever, that of color, all the locks have
the same general appearance, being
uniformly red.
1t is passing curious, to say the least
that in a country where red hair does
not predominant all the witches execut
ed during period covering several
hundred years should have had red

Planting For Winter,

In planting for winter comfort must
receive the first consideration. The rude
north wind must have It's force broken.
This may he accomplished by planting
evergreens for wind breaks. But 1t is
best to attain the end without the
formal array of Il straight border.
which is often too assertive. The out
buildings should be placed to do part Of
the work, but SO as not to show too
plainly that this was in view. Between
the buildings groups of cvcrgreens may
be placed so as to make a pleasing va
riety, add beauty OF their own and
efrcctually complete the wind breaking
circuit. In all our northern states the
northwest wind is the enemy whose u.s.
saults must be guarded against. But
we have severe winds from the north
and northeast, and these points should
also be effectually covered. = James

ITO. BE Continued
Why the Skin CHAPS,

Everybody knows that. generally
speaking, the effect of cold is to con-
tract and that of heat to expand. This
general law of nature finds no excep-
ton in our bodies, and when any por-
ton of the body gets cold the blood
vessels which traverse it contract, with
the result that the flow Of blood is d.
minished. Subsequent exposure to heat
causes the blood vessels to resume
their former size and, If anything, to
slightly exceed it, owing to the reaction
on the effects Of tile previous cold. The
result of these different operations Is
very naturally to crack the surface of
the skin and form the unpleasant little
wounds which we call Chaps" This
annoyance may be prevented by exer-
cising care not to expose the hands to
the extremes of cold and heat. If the
hands do get thoroughly, chilled, care
should be taken to see that they are
warmed again us gradually as possible.
Anything like putting them to hot
fire and thus inducing a rapid change
in their condition cannot fail to induce
