= New Sport In Austrla--other Uses
n for the Mountain Sleigh.
'ls'Sapmer visitors at the Semmering
and other mountain resorts near
Vienna are this season enjoying to-
bogganing-a sport hitherto confined
to the winter months.
The new summer toboggan has a
body shaped very much like the or
binary winter article, and mounted
aon four low wheels Equipped WITH
"a strong and reliable brake, as well
as steering apparatus, it affords a
pleasant and speedy means Of de-
scending mountain and hill paths. and
has already become very popular
among tourists.
1t is expected that the new tobog-
gan will have other uses besides sport
and amusement, for 1t offers a swift
and ready vehicle for carrying mes
senger from the mountain hotels to
the towns and villages below or in
summoning medical aid in case of ac-
cidents. Experimental trips on the
Semmering range and also on the
hills near Vienna with the new sleigh
have proved entirely satisfactory

To keen disease out Of brood.

Barring accident, or destruction by
force, nature intended every little
chicken Matched to live and grow.
There is no reason why we should as
sumo that certain per cent. of each
brood shall sicken and die. 1t would
not be so, if we knew natures way,
and managed them altogether natur-
ally. 1t is not so with the young of
the Wild birds or the wild fowl; they
live in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred; and vet, they are more ex-

Feltilizer For Peanuts.

Peanuts, like cowpeas, can get MI
trogen from the air, and do not need
much if any, nitrogen. But it will
be well to give little nitrate of soda
for start. Then for peanuts would
make the ton 1900 pounds of acid
phosphate, 100 pounds of nitrate Of
soda and 400 pounds of sulphate of
potash. In the 1900 pounds of acid
phosphate you will get about 500
pounds of plaster, which many pea
nut growers think essential to the
crop. OF this ton l would use 500
pounds per acre for peanuts.-W. r..

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD TN BUY
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy It is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes adj
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk of getting an inferior and adul-
-terated white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead COMPANY, the largest
makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint
er" trademark on every keg of their
product, an absolute guarantee of it's
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test Of white lead,
and who wants valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company. Woodbridge
Bldg. New York, and ask for test

of four lectures which DR.. Lewis will
deliver this winter to the residents of

night in the M. E. Church. Every seat
on the lower floor was occupied, and
there were many persons in the gal

prepared to be entertained, and while
any demonstration of approval would
have been out of place, they showed
their qualification by the close atten-
ton with which they followed the lee
turer from start to finish.
The lecture dealt chiefly with the
Sea of Galilee, the cities which at one
time stood upon it's banks, and the
teachings and miracles of the Savior in
that locality. All the incidents of the
journey by horseback, life in the tent,
and visits to the different scenes. of in
terest were minutely and entertaining
ly described.
