From books in use in 1890 are
taken some even more remarkable
examples:
a man overtaking maid driv-
ing a flock of geese said to her:
"How do YOU do, sweetheart? Where
are You going with these 100 geese?
"Why, sir, said she, I have not 100.
but if I had as many, half as many
and seven geese and a half, should
have 1907 How many had sEe?'
"A person was II years Of age %
years since and suppose he will be
drowned % years hence; pray. in
what year Of his age will this hap
pen?"
Should these questions be put on
the present generation, probably
there would be more giggles than
answers.
The popular question, :'Why is a
mouse when it spins?'' is scarcely
more impossible than one n "The
Scholars Arithmetic'' Of 1917:
when hens are 9 shillings dozen,
what will be the price Of six dozen
eggs at 2 cents for three eggsg' No
doubt, many curly pates have been
given cause to wonder "why is the
hen?" Trick problems like the above
we're quite the rage. Another curious
ly worded question is: Eat Surat is
a hospital for sick animals, in which
there is tortoise that has been there
IS years. What is three-eights of
that number?'
The fondness of ghastliness in the
problems makes US wonder as to the
value of such training for childish
minds. "In 1884, says one problem
"119 persons died Of drunkenness
in New York and 19l in Philadelphia
How many IN ootn!
Again: "a man had seven child
rem. Two of them we're killed by the
fall of tree. How many had he
left?"
"Judas, one Of the twelve apostles
hanged himself. How many were
there left?'
"Adonibezek said: "Threescore
and ten kings having their thumbs
and their great toes cut off, gather
their meat under my table, How
many thumbs and toes did Adonl-
beck cut off,"
"a human body, if baked until all
the moisture is evaporated, is reduc-
ed in weight as 10 to 10. A body that
weighs 100 pounds when living
weighs how much when baked?"
To child of 8 or 10, with a partl-
Gle of imagination, it must have been
pleasant figuring out the weight OF
baked bodies.

The Green Forest tribune., 1908-08-21
LEATHER SHOES FOR HORSES.
Are Preferred to Iron Ones by Horse
 men in Australia.

A new market for leather, according 10 Le Franc Parleur, is to be found in Australia, concerning which this French journal says
 In districts of Australia the horse is shod with leather instead of iron. The feet receive better support. This novelty is employed only in regions where the ground is permanently covered with grass or fine sand In country like Australia, where stocks are sometimes scarce and a horseman may expert ence great difficulty at a critical mo- ment in finding a horseshoe, such an innovation is a useful novelty. With extra shoes whose weight Is trif1e and which can be fitted without trou- ble, it is practicable to travel with out fear of the horse losing its shoe and being injured. Though the leather shoe is more expensive than the iron shoe, the higher price is repaid by the advantages gained
 In some quarters the horses were never shod with iron. Probably shoes, like drivers, will be supplied before long, thus avoiding the disagreeable experience of a horses hoof wearing too rapidly. It is not impossible the innovation will soon extend to every country where the nature of the soil permits it to be used
The Green Forest tribune., 1908-08-21

and four feet wide. The ends are cut sloping for about 20 inches back and under. The sides are each made up from boards held together with bat tens on the inside of the boat near the ends and in the middle One wide board should be used for the bottom piece. Two pins are driven in the top board of each side to serve as oarloeks.
 The bottom Is covered with matched boards not over five inches wide. These pieces are placed together as closely as possible, using white lead between the joints and mailing them to the edges of the side boards and to keel strip that runs the length of the punt as shown in Fig. 2. Before nail ing the boards place lamp wicking between them and the edges of the side boards. Only galvanized nails should be used cautions Popular Mechanics. In order to make the punt perfectly watertight it is best to use the dryest lumber obtainable. At one end of the punt skag and rudder can be attached as shown in Fig 8.

S2OO on CIothesline.

Ansonia, Conn-Two hundred dol lars in bills hanging on clothesline was the sight which attracted atten, tion in Woodbury recently. William Wilhelmy of this city drove to Wood bury to visit his brother. He was caught in thunderstorm, and when he reached his brothers his trousers were wringing wet. He borrowed an other pair while the hired girl washed his.
 Wilhelmy went calling on friends, and when he returned he found a crowd in front of his brothers home. The sight of his roll dangling on the clothesline was too much for him, and he collapsed with laughter.
 After the girl had washed the trou- sers she found the roll of bills, and with clothespins fastened each on the line and left them unguarded.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
 for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit'without reserve that the medicinal herbs com posing Peruna are of two kinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh reme- dies. Second, well-known and gener- ally acknowledged tomb remedies. That in one or the other of these uses they have stood the test of many years' experience by physicians of different schools. There can be no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious and uni- versally used herbal remedies for ca tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions of the human system as require tonic. Each one of the principal ingredients of Peruna has reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh or as tonic medicine.
 The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doc. tors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to pre- scribe for them.
 No other household remedy so uni- versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

Wireless Messages to a Balloon.

On May 13 several officers of the signal corps, with Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm as pilot, made an ascent in one of the army balloons from Washington at 1 D. m. and landed at Patuxent, a small place near Baltimore, at 4:10. During the course of the flight, mes sages were received on board the bal loon from the governments wireless station at Annapolis. A special an- tenna was suspended from the basket, and the latter was also enveloped in a wire netting. So successful was the experiment that Major Russell be- lieves that balloons will soon be equipped with wireless apparatus, which will enable them not only to receive messages, but also to send them. With this improvement, the use of the balloons will be greatly in- creased iii time of war.
