Among It's supporters there are some
men Of large wealth and many acres
who have afforded repeated evidence
.ot their desire to give the goat high

economical food producer. But the

York.

A peculiar looking fly, with long,
thin body and black dotted wings, buzz
zed on one of the windows Of a North
western elevated car the other day. No
body noticed it until a man, who got
on at Chicago avenue, suddenly left
his seat, went across to the window,
and scooped up the fly in his hand. He
examined it closely for a minute then
he explained to a man sitting near that
the insect was species OF deer fly rarely
found outside of the Wisconsin woods.

No Longer a Waste Product that Is
Given or Thrown Away.
Many are the uses of sawdust. In
the days when the sawdust wagon
made its numbering rounds through the
streets of most large cities two CONNER
cial uses of sawdust were to sprinkle
floors and to shelter lead pipes from
cold and glass bottles from breakage.
Near every sawmill was vat for
the sawdust, and it was carried away
free by anyone who had any use for
it. In this era of the use of byproducts
sawdust has a commercial value. 1t is
no longer given away, but is sold.
One Of the recent uses of sawdust
is its distillation, resulting in acetic
acid, wood naphtha, wood alcohol and
tar. Sawdust may also be burned In
/ special furnaces or mixed with other
material for feel
Sawdust when saturated with chem
icals can be effectively used in the
manufacture of explosives, but it is
more particularly in demand in paper
making than for any other purpose
Such thing rs sawdust on the floor
of room as a substitute for a rug or
carpet is now practically unknown.

Cotton felt has been substituted for
sawdust as non-conductor of cold in

dust, 1t is also used for briquettes,

study of a photograph of Minnehaha
Falls. and from a reflection upon the
legend of the Dacotas, the beautiful
epic which adorns the works of Long

which inspired the poet; he never saw

Americans quite as familiar with the

CREWS ON LAKE STEAMERS.

Compared with Those on the At
lantic and Pacific Coast.
Speaking of the recent storm on the
great lakes, the Columbia Dispatch
complains of carelessness in the making
up of crews for lake vessels and thinks
that the men who must De depended
upon in such crises as are frequently
caused by storms slack the necessary
experience and discipline" that they
are landsmen rather than sailors and
become ineffective" as soon as a storm
threatens steamer. The paper says,
further, that ''the nearer the conditions
Of navigation on the lakes are brought
to the sterner conditions in vogue on
the ocean the less will be the risk and
the fewer the disasters"
1t is perfectly true that the old-time
sailors largely disappeared from the
lakes, simply because the old-time sail
ing vessel has vanished, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The same is true,
perhaps to a slightly less extent, on
the ocean, where sailing ships are still

the crews that man the steamers are
no longer sailors in the old sense of the
word, but are, rather, mechanics and
deck hands; and this is true of the
navy. In fact the old-timc sailor is
not needed on the modern steamer Nor
Is this source either of regret or of
danger. AS between the present crews
on lakes and ocean. there is a general
agreement that the former are the bet
ter, If only for the reason that their
conditions of service, as respects pay,
food and general treatment, are bet
ter. If the lake crews are not as good
as inland critics could lesire, it re-
mains the fact that there are rome bet
ter in the land.
As to the sterner conditions OF navi-
cation on the ocean, it may be remark
ed not only that the great lakes are the
StormieSt bodies of water in America,
but also that they are more dangerous
than the ocean by reason of their mar
row and shallow connecting channels !;
while the advantage of many ports of
refuge is frequently offset by their diff
cult approaches. There remains, too

ger, in a storm on the axes arising

Safe. Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met Cbese
three prime conditions as successfully A
Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles Of
medicine. They are sure because nothing
goes into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted TO the purposes FOR
which a plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their meli-
cinal qualities go right to their work Of
relieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance Of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
meritorious articles have been extensively
initiated, therefore always make sure and
get the genuine Allcock's.

Blessed though this country Is with
spots where nature has exerted an in

and passing of even one OF these must
arouse regret in all save the most icon
oclastic. This is especially true If the
vanishing spot has a peculiar individ
ualty and Is associated with some fea-
ture of our history or literature around
which there cluster sentiments patriotic
or poetic.
1t matters little what be the cause
of the decay, though where the greed
OF man Is responsible our anger as
well as our sorrow is stirred. When
we see the power grabbers rob Nj

tudes of the Adirondacks to enrich
themselves by utilizing that which
God gave as boon to man and as a
revelation of His omnipotence, resent
ment is strong and the natural inn
pulse is to cry stop, thief " When
nature herself becomes weak, when her
charms fail like the whitening rose or
the bloom of a maidens cheek, we must
accept our loss with resignation, but
we cannot stife the pain.
