HAD THEM ALL BEAT.

eve met with many scientists
And men who knew a lot
About most eyeryth ng In sight
And some things that were not.
But I recall a modest one,
Who simply knocked them cold
The hired man we used to have
When I was 10 years old.
If there were monsters in the deep.
Or marveIs in the air,
Or hidden things beneath the ground.
Or wonders anywhere,
He had them clearly classified,
Arranged and on display,
And when he cleared his throat and
spoke
That's all there was to say.
He knew the history of France;
He knew how snakes were tanned;
He knew the way they made pos.
How Sleeping cars were named;
He knew man who knew man
Who slept with Henry Cay;
He knew the way IN break a colt
And how to make hens lay
On politics or mixing paint
Or anything like that
He knew the smallest ms and outs
And had them all down pat.
Among the people I have met
In all the foxy clan
There ne'er was one the equal quite
OF that same hired man..

AIR FAMINE AND ITS EFFECTS.

People Are Very Sow in Recognizing
the Importance of Pure Air.
AS buildings are now constructed
and overheaLed, many people have TO
spend at least a part of their working
hours in a fetid atmosphere, says the
DelineaCor. But there is no excuse Tor
Sleeping in such an atmosphere. we
spend one-third Of our lives in sleep;
We also breathe more deeply when
asleep than when awake, and We
should sleep in the open air, or as
near to it as possible. Walk through a
residence street at night and look at
the bedroom windows; they are al!
tightly closed. Occasionally one is a
sungy three or four inches down from
the top. This is done by some advanc-
ed individual to let out the bad air. II
all the bad air went out Of the room
there would be no air left. There
should be no bad air in a bedroom.
Every window and door Of the bed,
room should stand wide open every
night in the year. The air should be
the same inside as outside. While
asleep the lungs should be connected
with outside air just as they are when
we walk the street Sufficient covering
should be used to keep the body warm
at night just as when we go outside.
Only the face is exposed under both
conditions.

Marriad for q Hundred Years.

Diamond weddings are rare indeed,
yet there has just been celebrated i'll
the little hungarian village OF Ison-
boIgi the anniversary of a wedding
which it is declared occurred just 100
years ago. All the country is in
tensely interested, and the emperor
has asked the authorities to forward
to him official particulars SO that he
can personally congratulate the cou-
pie.
The extraordinary couple are
named Szathmari The husband is
12O years old and the wife l1S. He
was a farmer and was married at the
age of 20. They have hundreds OF
descendants in and around the vii
Iage. A score OF years ago there was
a celebration in honor Of the man s
Tooth birthday, and application was
made to the Hungarian government
for a pension. 1t was granted after
the records of the village had been
examined and the mans age verified.
Four years later the woman was also
granted a pension.
The old couple live in a modest cot,
tage and are we'll looked after by rel
atives. They are nearly blind and
very deaf, and sleep nearly all of the
time. The man, however, still enjoys
his pipe and a glass of wine, and
neither is bedridden.
1t is a strange fact that in all their
wears they have never left the village
and know nothing of the great world
outside of Isonbolgi. They were both
born there and have lived continuously
in wed1ock a quiet and peaceful life.
The recent celebration of their lOOth
wedding day was participated in by
the entire village, which is very proud
of having established, without any
doubt, a worlds record.-Detroic News

THE BEST TIMBER TREES.
How the Government Studies Them
for Benefit of the Public.

How the Government Studies Them
for Benefit of the Public.
Timber owners and manufacturers
will be interested in the results of
the detailed studies Of commercial
timber trees which the forest service
of the United states department OF
agriculture is making. These stud
les are not confined exclusively to
the we'll known trees of recognized
value but, owing to the rapid de-
crease in the supply of our valuable
woods, include those cheaper woods
whose properties are imperfectiy
known. Such studies of the tupelo
gum and western hemlock have done
much to overcome the common preju-
dice against these species and have
added materially to Their CONNER
cial Importance.
Commercial tree studies begin with
the tree in the forest and follow it
all the way to the finished product
in the market. The intermediate
steps are many and complex, but a
little explanation of them may not be
amiss, since they typify the field
methods of a forest investigation.
The selection of suitable place
is the first step. IN this the aim IS
to obtain average conditions as far
as possible. When the range of the
species to be studied is small, ore
locality may be sufficient. but gener-
ally it is necessary to take at least
two localit es, the data from which
if similar, can be thrown together or,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-12-26

from trees previously marked in the
woods. From these measurements
the actual value of trees of all di,
ameters is found. The present uses
of the timber are looked up, and
the practicability of extending its
uses or substituting it for other spe-
cies is considered. In connection
with tbs, timber tests of the wood
are made at one of the government
timber testing laboratories.
To sum up, every detail and aspect
of the problem receives careful at
tention in these commercial tree
studies, since it is their special OBJ
iect to set forth all facts that wilt
assist forest owners in managing and
improving their timberlands.

A Queens Folly.

The hamlet was complete in all its
details: in the center was the Maison
du Seigneur. Here the king and the
queen often came TO dine with a few
1ntlmates of the court. A large bill
lizard room, connected with the house
by an outer gallery, afforded amuse,
ment for the king after his dinner.
Here also was a dairy lined with mar
bic and furnished with beautiful por-
| celain jars which the queen had or
dered made especially for it; where
she and the ladies of the court, who
joined her in these pastoral pursuits,
churned the fresh milk provided by
the Swiss COWS which grazed about
the green fields of the hamlet, and at-
terward sold the butter and cheese of
their own manufacture to fiatterine
courtiers, who counted it a great priv.
| ilege to purchase the butter made by
| the queens own hands.
The farmhouse. in addition to it's
cowherd, was we'll stocked with lambs,
calves, sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs and
poultry of every description. There
was also the mill, where the corn
grown in the fields about the farm
house could be ground; the tour de
Marlborough" from whence could be
obtained view of the whole domain;
the house Of the bailiff; the parson-
age; the keepers house and a charm
ing little villa in miniature called
the queens bOudoir.
The little hamlet was the center
of the most brilliant festivities dur
ing the reign of Louis XVI. France
at the time was enjoying its greatest
prosperity; money was plentiful and
the farmers crops had been bountt-
full. Louis had only recently signed
the peace which established the indie
pendence of the United States and
France in it's brilliancy, luxury and
literary achievements led all the
world. Never was there more pop
Uiar sovereign, and never, apparently,
people more devoted or tractable.
How could either the king or queen
suspect that the black hand of revolu-
ton was even then knocking at their
palace doors?-
