Find Weight of a Bar of Iron

The weight of bar of iron, steel, copper. lead or brass may be very quickly and quite accurately eeti- mated by the following formula Multiply the dimensions and add one cipher to the result. Then divide by 8 and the final result is the weight in pounds. For ex- ample: Take a bar of wrought iron 20 feet long by 2 inches thick, by 4 inches wide, and we have 20x2x4, which equals 16O. Add a cipher. which gives 1900. and this divided by three gives 5338, which is the weight in pounds. For cast iron deduct 1 16 from the weight of wrought iron. For copper add to the weight of wrought iron. For lead add ] to the weight of wrough, iron. For brass add l to the weight of wrought iron.

GRAZING RATES REDUCED

Following out a statement made a year ago st the meeting of the National Wool Growers association in Salt Lake City. Clifford Pinehot, forester, and A. F. Potter, assistant forester, in charge of the branch of grazing in the United States forest service, have just announced re- duetion of 10 to 15 per cent in the rates for sheep grazing on the na- tional forests of the west. This general reduction of the schedule of grazing rates takes effect fer the coming season of 1909.
 The changes in market condi- tions which have made the sheep business less profitable the past year, especially the greatly reduced prices offered for wool and the de- preciation in the value of mutton, make the announcement of great interest not only to those who are interested in the sheep business. but to the men of every allied in- dustry. In 1907, when the prom ises of a reduced schedule were made, it was with the understand. ing between the stockmen and the forest service that the grazing rates would not be changed for minor fluctuations in the market which apply only in case of radical or un- usual changes.
 The new schedule does not affect the cases where the minimum charge of 5 cents per head has al ready been allowed or a specially low rate has been fixed on account of some local condition. In most cases the revised fees will mean 8 reduction of about 1 cent per head
 In fixing the rates for grazing by different kinds of stock, the ~loca conditions. the effect of grazing by different kinds of stock on forest growth. the demand for the use ot range by owners of different kinds of stock, the needs of the home steader, and the profits of the busi ness have been taken into consid aratiOn.

WHEN ADVERTISING

There is nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as an advsr- tisement. The prime first and last and all the time objects of an ad- vertisement is to draw custom. IL is not and never will be designed for any other purpose. So the msr- chant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full ot customers that he can't get his hat off, then he rushes to his printer and goes in for advertising. When the dull season gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell his goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he stops advertising That is, some of them do; but occasionally some level headed merchant does more of it and scoops in all the business while his neighbors are making mortgages to pay the gas bill. There are times when you couldn't stop people from buying everything in the store if you planted a oan- non behind the door, and that's the time when the advertisement is sent out on it's holy mission. It makes light work for advertising for chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all that was needed, and I half holiday six days in a week i; but who wants to favor an adver- tisement2 They are built to do hard work, and should be sent out in dull days, when a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts and kicked insensible with bankrupt reductions. and dragged in with irresistible slaughter of prices, before he will spend cent. That's the end and aim of adver- tising and if ever you open . store don't try to get people to come when they are already sticking out of the windows. but give them the advertisement square between the eyes in the dull season and you will wax rich and own a fast horse and perhaps be able to smoke a cigar once or twice a year. Write this down where you will fall over it every day. The time to draw business is when you want business and not when you have more busi
 ness than you can attend to already

A Matter Of High Politics.

One the wittiest of English peers
is Lord Longford. and he has also
earned the reputation of being one of
the worst dressed, in spite of the fact
that for 20 years he has been In the
Second Life Guards. The story goes
that friend once met him In Ireland
CARRIED In pair Of combinations
which were not on speaking terms
with his boots, and chaffed him mer-
cilessly about the lucid interval" that
occurred between them. But Tom
my" as Lord Longford is known to
his intimates, In nowise disconnected,
blandly explained that 1t was really
a matter of high politics. You see,
my dear fellow, the breeches are made
by a tailor who is a rampant Orange
man, while the boots are the achieve
ment Of Fenian cobbler, so how can
you expect 'em to meet?'

HAD TO DISTINGUISH HIMSELF.
Jimmie Simply Reversed the Order Of
His Activities.
New European Laie
~
on Bank Street

The teacher in the kindergarten
gave a little talk on helping mother"
explaining that children who were al
most six years old could at least dress
themselves. A number of children told
what they had done in the way OF dry
ing dishes, etc. All this seemed to i'm
press little Jimmie very much. The
next morning he proudly announced
In the circle: Il dessed myself dis
mornin'." OF course Jimmie received
the highest praise and other children
were urged to 60 and do likewise. The
next day Jimmie again announced: Il
dessed myself dis mornin'," and so
proud was he that at every frequent
intervals during the morning he tri'
imphantly repeated this. So 1t con-
tinued on the third day. until the
teacher answered that she was very
glad to hear 1t, but thought that q
boy who was big enough to dress him
self ought to be able to sit quiet with
out interrupting so often. Jimmie,
however, continued to inform the
kindergarten at every possible mo-
ment that Il dessed myself dis morn
in" Finally the teacher told him
that II he interrupted again he would
have to leave the circle. Jimmie soon
forgot and the teacher sent him be-
hind a screen in the corner. A minute
later the principal entered with a
visitor and was SURPRISED to see little
head poked out from behind the
screen. The teacher explained and the
principal, crossing the room, pushed
the screen to one side. To her horror
there stood Jimmie with not even his
shirt on. Il didn't dess myself dis
time" he said tearfully, Il undessed
myself"

HAD NO CAUSE TO BE AFRAID.
Very Harmless "Tlger" Was Irish
mans Companion In Cage.

The manager Of wild animal show
was so unfortunate as to lose by death
the only lion In his collection. After
trying in vain to replace the loss he
finally secured an Irishman to appear
in his exhibition on all tours In the
lions cage. wrapped in the dead
beasts skin. This plan worked well
enough for while, and the public
was fooled. One night, however. it be-
came necessary, in the course of one
performance, for the lion to enter the
tigers cage. Pat pleaded strenuously
behind the scenes against being sent
into the other maneater's presence;
but his employer was unyielding, as.
surfing him repeatedly that the tiger
was harmless. Though well-nigh dead
with fear, Pat, after long and vigorous
persuasion, at last crawled into the
tigers cage. No sooner was he In the
cage than he lost what little courage
he had left, and lay down. calling in a
hoarse whisper, please don't bite me I;
! amt no lion: I'm an Irishman" The
tiger appeared thoroughly disguised,
and in a moment he growled back,
shut up, you fool, SO am liar.
