MANY USES FOR sAWDUST.
No Longer "A Waste Product that Is
Given or Thrown Away.

No Longer IA Waste Product that Is
Given or Thrown Away.
Many are the uses of sawdust. In
the days when the sawdust wagon
made it's 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 a 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 it's 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 fuel.
Sawdust when saturated with chem
icals can be effectively used in the
manufacture Of explosives, but 1t is
more particularly in demand in paper
making than for any other purpose
Such thing as sawdust on the floor
of room as a substitute for q rug or
carpet is now practically unknown.
Sawdust has joined sand in this re-
spect.
Cotton felt has been substituted for
sawdust as non-conductor Of cold in
| winter. Gas can be made from saw
| dust. It Is also used for briquettes,
/. e., blocks of compressed sawdust and
wood chips burned for fuel. Even In
the protection Of glassware against
breakage sawdust has been superseded
by excelsior, sawdust being regarded as
| too valuable for such USE

MISSING THE LOCAL NEWS.

Miss Cumnock was Il district visitor,
who went about her work with the
same indiscriminating enthusiasm
which carried her through her other
social and phllanthropic enterprises.
She found at the outset one of the
lleenest old women it had ever been her
lot to meet, who unfortunately had
never learned to read or write.
IL shall go to that poor soul three
times a week." she announced to her
family, land | shall read her all The
news of the day and some of the best
books. She will appreciate everything"
At the close Of one of Miss Cum
nock's long afternoons of reading the
minister happened in to see Mrs. Hig-
gins.
II suppose you've been enjoying de-
lightful hour together" said the mill
lister, and Miss Cumnock, clasping a
pile of newspapers and a book with
fervor, answered him.
We've had a lovely afternoon!' she
said eagerly. Lovely. And now
you've come to put the finishing touch
to It, Good-by, Mrs. Higgins ~
"Good-by!" said the old woman; and
then as the door closed she turned her
bright eyes to the minister.
Cant We help a body out of a
hole?" she asked him. Ills every
day in the week but Sundays she
comes now. She means we'll, and I'm
enduring it as best I can, but while

markable animal--it is Of Swiss line
age-has been personally and exhaust

troversy being ended by his expert
ments, the society will, no doubt. add
to the value of it's previous efforts on
behalf of the rural laborer's children
by promoting importations of this
profitable breed
Among its supporters there are some
men Of large wealth and many acres
who have afforded repeated evidence
OF their desire to give the goat a high
en- position In English estimation as an
economical food producer. But the
English farm hand requires q deal of
talk before he is convinced that in
many details of human life new ways
are better than old. This perversity Of
conservatism has broken down, odd to
say, IN the sister isle; the Irish goat.

usually is, ranks far higher than the
English as milk producer, and the So
ciety find little difficulty in securing
the cooperation of the peasantry in
further Improvements.

A large amount of pioneer work still
invites the explorer, for many Of the
unknown areas have much territorial
extent. In the Amazon basin, for ex-
ample, three of these regions are each
much larger than all Of our New Eng
land States. One unknown area In
Northwest Alaska is nearly as large
as New England and the Sahara has
two areas in black that are each twice
as large and another three times as
large rs New England. Asia still has
several of these vast mysterious spaces
and the solid chunk of the unknown in
New Guinea, the largest Island in the
world excepting Greenland would swal-
low up New England and leave black

Gen. Skaters death has recailed to
the public memory little but criticism.
The mans real achievements have been
all but forgotten in the resentment over
what seemed a needless loss of life in
the Spanish war. 1t is true that Shat
ter exhibited an unfortunate lack of
experience and skill in the protective
side of warfare; but 1t may be ques-
toned whether any other American
commanding officer Of that day would
have done better in coping, unprepa"ed,
with the real enemies, climate, bad
food and fever, says Ridgway's weekly.
And, in spite of all, in his surly, tact
less, patient fashion he did what be
was sent to do in Cuba. This habit OF
performing the allotted task was the.
keynote Of Skaters character in his
many years of invariably successful
and valuable Indian campaigning, dur
ing which the public never heard of
him. 1t was his misfortune that his
brilliant successes should have been ac-
complished in the obscure places of the
earth; his errors committed in the
blaze of the limelight Whatever the
public, tickle and often ungrateful, may
think of him. his fellows in the service
will remember him with honor us q
brave, honest, sincere and generally etfi-
cient public servant.

There is a good deal of talk at times
about British conservatism In business
matters, but they are not half as back
ward In some matters as Americans,
who plume themselves on their goahead-
itiveness. From present appearances
the agitation In England over the adop-
ton OF the metric system is likely to
bear fruit much sooner in that country
than In the United States. The old
argument about the difficulty Of ad-
justing accepted standards to the me.
tric system is found to be less formid.
able than represented and many big
firms have, as matter of individual
enterprise, prepared tables which will
permit the prompt translation into me-
trio terms of their products.
