Cheap Homemade Barometer.

A weather man described the other
day cheap homemade barometer
He said II was only necessary to
take piece of string about Is inches
long and to soak II several hours in
a strong solution of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against wall, mark
being made to show where the weight
reaches.
The barometer is now complete. II
Is as accurate as a 500 instrument.
The weight rises for wet weather and
falls for fine.

Playing at Divorce.

A curious side light is thrown upon
the divorce question In America. A
mother came into the room and found
her two children quarreling about a
doll She said: "You must stop
quarreling. or ! shall take the doll
away" 1--WE aren't really quarreling.
mamma said one of the little girls.
we're playing Jennies suing me for
divorce, and we're trying to decide
who'll have the custody of the child"
When 1t is remembered that 100000
divorces have been recorded in the
United States in period Of 20 years,
perhaps 1t is not surprising that
children should play at divorce as
they play at going to school.-Dundee

COUNTRY As MINE OF WEALTH.
Paid Agents Mlsrepresent Conditions
to Secure immigration.

Misrepresentation on the part of
paid agents is the chief reason for so
much Of the undesirable immigration
to this country" said George F. Wag.
ner OF Chicago, who has recently re-
turned from trip to Germany and
Austria. THE agents go among the
peasant classes and tell them of the
money that can be made by coming
to America. The standard of wages
is 80 much lower there and the
money itself divided into smaller de-
nominations that these promises are
alluring. The agent, however. fails
to tell them that living expenses are
proportionately higher in this country.
so the peasant sells what property
ne has. and with his family takes pas.
sage for America, the land of quick
fortunes. Arriving here they soon
discover that while the scale of wages
Is all that they have been promised
and that work Is plentiful, they can
make no more and probably not az
much In this strange country. Their
idea Of America is about the same
as that Of two Irishmen who came
over not long ago. They had been
told that In America gold was found
lying around on the streets and all
man had to do was to 20 out and pick
up as much as he wanted. As luck
would have 1t they had NO more set

100 YEARS AGO IN OHIO.

Incredible as II seems, Cleveland. the
present metropolis of the State and one
of the great cities of the country, was
not incorporated as village until
1914, and had then population of not
more than 800 people, though its loca-
ton made it prominent in small
way. The entire commerce of Lake
Erie up to 1912 was carried on by six
small schooners.
Cincinnati, already important though
not yet Incorporated, contained about
800 dwellings, a good courthouse and
Jail, upward of twenty stores and, as
an old description says, THE various
branches of mechanism are carried on
with spirit, industry of every kind be-
ing duly encouraged by the citizens, it
is likely to become a considerable
manufacturing place"
Until 1911, when a steamboat was
for the first time launched on the Ohio
river. keel boats propelled with poles
left Cincinnati for Pittsburg every four
weeks. On account of the Indians and
outlaws who infested the banks the
trips were dangerous. so the boats
were provided with bullet proof COW
ers and carried cannon and small fire.
