Arbor Day Observed by School Childrei

Arbor Day Observed by School Children
New York, May 4.-Today is Arbor
Day in this state, and throughout the
state it is observed by the children in
the public schools and by many citi.
zens and societies. Thousands of the
children in this city were taken to the
parks under the supervision of their
teachers and took part in the. simple
and impressive tree planting exercises,
which had been suggested by State
Superintendent Of Education Draper. 1t
is safe to say that thousands of trees
and shrubs were planted throughout
the poorer districts Of the city, in back
yards, school yards, and along the pub
lie highways. A handsome Arbor Day
manual, issued by Commissioner Draper
and containing valuable hints in regard
to the observance of Arbor Day and
suggestions in regard to tree planting
was distributed among the teachers of
all the public schools in the whole
state. The day was sbserved in every
city and village of the state in a more
or less elaborate manner

Do you know that the word dude"
comes from the English word "duds,"
which means clothes? Hence, a dude
is n very fond of clothes.
Do you know that the expression
Sure as eggs is eggs" was never
meant to be as ungrammatical as 1t
sounds? The original was sure as X
is x.
Do you know why foolscap paper is
so called? When Charles | was king
of England, only certain people were
allowed to manufacture paper, and it
all had to bear the royal arms. Parll-
ament made sport of the law, and or
dered a FOOLS cap and bells to be used
instead.
Do you know the origin of the
phrase up Salt River?" Before steam,
navigation along the Ohio was carried
on by fatboats, which were rowed up
stream. This was particularly hard
work, especially up Salt river, a dan
gerous, crooked branch of the Ohio
river in Kentucky. When slaves were
to be punished, this was a common
method employed by their owners.
Hence, at election times, people refer
to sending the defeated candidates
up Salt River" as a penalty.

THE coMPANY'S TAILOR.
Was Measuring the Station Hands
for Their Winter
Outfits.

A mar was standing before a sta
ton n autumn afternoon, when a
bell changed, and all the station en-
ployes came running out and ar
ranged themselves in a neat line on
the platform, relates the Detroit Jour
nal.
There was the ticket agent, the tele-
graph operator, the baggage master,
and * on. They stood side by side,
their shoulders squared, their heads
thrown back like soldiers on parade.
And now a locomotive, drawing only
n car, dashed past.
1t was an observation car, and on
the observation platform sat a small,
quick, nervous man. He had a table
before him, with pens and paper on it,
and as the train shot by the station
he regarded the men sharply and
made hurried notes.
who was he?" said the stranger to
the telegraph operator, after the train
was gone. Some prominent official of
the line?"
20, no." the mar answered. "That
was the company's tailor measuring
us for our winter suits"

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened ugon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose. O
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding u~rination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the mean Of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.

had to endure. A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and @
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended

KNOW ENGINES WHISTLE.
Friends Of Engineers Recognize Their
Machines by Distinctive
Blasts.

There is not an engineer on this road
that | can't recognize by the sound of
the whistle of his engine" remarked a
locomotive fireman to a Washington
Star reporter. Each man has a dis
tinctive blast, which is as plain as
spoken language to his fellow employees
and is frequently familiar to the mem
bers of his family.
"Often the home people of the en-
gineers are as skilled in detecting par
ticular whistle sounds as are the rail-
road men themselves. 1t is a frequent
occurrence to see an engineers wife,
with perhaps two or three little children
by her side, leaning out of a window in
sight of the railroad waiting in pleasing
expectancy to wave a greeting to the
man in the cab, having been made ac-
quainted with the fact of his approach
by means only of the sound of the whis-
tie.
Nearly every engineer who is accus-
toned to handle any one locomotive
gives more or less special care to the
whistle. In many instances the men
personally own these sound making de-
vices and keep them throughout services
covering several years and involving
numerous transfers from one engine to
another. "A man is disposed to become
attached to his whistle, regarding it as
a sort of personal adjunct. He blows it
and blows it until he comes to play on
it, sounding the varying range Of his
feelings in the cadences of the blast. In
this way the whistle assumes the dig
nifty Of a crude index to character and
disposition.
MANY of the differences among
whistles are obvious to people in gen.
eral. The chime whistle, for instance,
is familiar to many. Uniting several
sounds, its musical blast is a favorito
among engineers. This type is specially
used for variety"

in the cabboose. The train was max

denly exclaimed, while looking out of
the cabboose window: Why, there

that stood gazing beside the track.
The trainmen told him he must be
mistaken, but he insisted that he was
right, and finally succeeded In having
the train stopped. Going forward, the
door Of the car was found open and
the COW gone. 1t was not injured in
the least by the fall from the train,
and was grazing within a minute
after the time it struck the ground.

WHEAT AS POULTRY FOOD
Reason Why It Is Better Than tbs
Screenings, and in Long Run
Cheaper.

Wheat is a very good poultry food
and 1t is as cheap to buy the whole
wheat as it is screenings, unless the
latter can be purchased at a very
low price. Frequently when wheat is
selling at 80 cents per bushel the
farmer must pay from 80 to 60 cents
per bushel for screenings. These
screenings contain a great deal OF
weed seed, some of which, like corn
cookie, is injurious to the poultry
The wheat screenings consist largely
Of 'shriveled wheat, which has in II
little substance and in very many
cases the farmer will find 1t cheaper
to buy good wheat for his poultry.
Wheat is especially serviceable for
small chicks, as the grains are small
and II scattered in straw, the chicks
are compelled to do a great deal Of
work to get a meal. Most of our
farmers, says the Farmers Review,
have wheat they grow on their own
farms, that on account Of having a
poor color, will sell at a low price. 1t
will be found better to hold and feed
such wheat than to take the trouble
of marketing 1t.

RAILS AND WIRE FENCING.
Old Style Fencing Giving Way Slowly
But Surely to the More Mod
ern Method.

Much of the old rail fence Is stin
in use in many sections. Though not
so neat and attractive as the wire or
board fence, it has some points of ad-
vantage over other kinds. The rail
fence can be easily opened to pass
through from field to field with binder
or other machinery. Also rails make
handy cross fences or hog lot fences,
being easily taken. down and put up
again, SO as to change size of, or
subdivide lots or fields. About the
first rails made were split out of
white oak and many of these, after
40 or SO years use, are yet sound. The
same may be said of chestnut rails,
but those made of black oak are not
SO lasting. Stock, especially horses,
are seldom hurt by rail fences, yet
many are ruined or blemished for life
by barbed wire cuts.
The barbed or woven wire fence is
a necessity in places where little Other
material is to be had, and eventually,
when the wooden fances have all rot
ted down, we must use the wire, which
is neat, looks well, takes up little room
and fewer posts than the rail fence. 1t
will stand up longer and better against
wind and proves an effective barrier
to passage of farm stock or some wild
animals.
AS fast as needed supplant rails with
woven wire about 81 inches high of
nine strands. Two inches above it
stretch a barbed wire. This will turn
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, but
another wire eight inches higher
makes 1t safer for horses or unruly
stock, says the Farm and Home. Posts
should be placed about eight feet apart
and alternate ones need only reach to
top of woven wire, and these might 5a

posts should be of heavy white oak
and six and one-half to seven feet
long, inserted two to two and one-half
feet in ground. Stretch all wires tight.
ly and anchor end or corner posts we'll
with heavy braces. Such a fence with
two barbed wires will be about 48
inches high and cost for wire and posts
from 80 to IS cents per rod.

NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.
Thousands of Miles Are to Be Added
to Present Mileage This
Year.

Those who have held to the belief
That railroad construction in the
United States has come to an end will
be surprised to learn that over 1900
miles of new road are now under con-
tract or building, and that there are
in addition nearly $500 miles of what
are technically known as live pro-
jests." No less an authority than the
Railway Age, in an elabroate compila-
ton, estimates the new mileage as
stated, and apportions the construc-
ton of the lines by geographical d.
visions. The greater portion of the
new mileage lies within the borders
of the northwestern, southwestern and
Pacific coast states. In fact, 81 per
cent. of the $4,000 miles under con-
struction or contracted for is SO stu
ated, while of the $500 miles of 'live
projects" which may or may not be
built, 65 per cent. is located In the
same territory. Among the largest
single enterprises are the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul extension from
Evarts, N. d., to Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash, approximating 1900 miles of
which 1000 miles are now under con-
tract; the Western Pacific, on which
a great deal of work has been accom-
plished, from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco, 937 miles; the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, from Sulphur
Springs, Col, to Salt Lake City, 40
miles.
Too much space would be required
to enumerate the individual extern
sions, ETC., but an idea of the work
may be gained when 1t is stated that
over two-thirds Of the $1,000 miles I'M
der contract are being built In the in
terest of 38 companies-an average Of
231 miles for each company. The fol-
lowing table shows the geographical
distribution of new mileage:
