mad Anthony" Wayne.
From the philadelphia Press.


Pennsylvania discharges a 'tardy
tribute to one of it's greater soldier
sons by dedicating at Valley Forge a
monument to Anthony Wayne, just SO
years after his bones were brought
to ST. David's church.
He was In life probably as much
irritated by references TO his amp title
OF Mad Anthony" as was Sheridan by
references to his ride to Winchester.
Both gave a false impression of two
soldiers, full Of daring valor, but cool,
farsighted and distinguished above all
else by their capacity skilfully to direct
troops on the battlefield rather than for
mere headlong onset in a charge.
Wayne, like SO many of the cad
erS OF the only revolution in history
led by men of large means, inherited
a fortune large for the day. His grand
father came to this country with
money and his father added to 1t. OF
Yorkshire stock, both grandfather.
father and son represented the active,
wiry, hustling and somewhat conscious
type which marks the long list of able
men the three 'ridings' of York have
given to English and American history,
Dark. sallow, lean cut, Wayne was
born with fastidious tastes, dressed
with scrupulous care, had, as he wrote
to Washington, IAN insuperable bias
for an elegant uniform powdered his
hair In camp n had a genius for
enforcing discipline and winning devo-
ton.
A Chester county man. he took to
politics, as his father and grandfather
a before him. 1t is still a habit OF
Chester county men. Before he was
80 he had made his mark IN affairs,
and was one of the strong and well
organized body OF Pennsylvanians who
carried the state INTO the revolution.
When war came he organized his regi-
ment and promptly rose to the COM
mand of a brigade. which never failed
to do it's work. He had, as SO many
Pennsylvania brigade and corps COM
manders showed in the civil war, a
special power in holding a fighting line
and effectively moving a brigade, even
when the days Of drill had been short.
Wayne died, his work in the north
west just over, at 81, and his monu-
ment will recall to all who see Ii one
of the foremost builders of the nation
whom this state has given to the
union.

Killing RattIers in Pennsylvania.

From the Tlonesta Nlndicdtor.
George Burhen, who is building a new
house for himself on a part of his IA
TIERS farm on German Hill, went TO
refill a water jug the other day that
had been left in the shade when he
luckily espied a huge RATHER AZ inches
long and carrying 13 rattles coiled ready
for fight about the jug. George lost no
time in killing the reptile and has pre-
served the skin and rattles to verify his
statement.
Two young sons of George Copeland
went snake hunting at a den near their
father's home on Little Hickory creek
one day last week M killed an ven
dozen of rattlers before they gave up
the battle.
Henry Amburger, of Hunters Station,
has been missing eggs from the nest in
his chicken coop, even a china egg dis
appearing. He suspected rats or other
small animals, but the other day when
he found a dead blacksnake eight feet
long near by with a china egg lodged
in its stomach the great mystery was
solved.

A HOG EXPERTS DISCOVERIES.

Professor Dietrich, hog expert at the
Illinois experiment station, has discovered
these facts during a series of experiments,
results of which will shortly be announced
In bulletin form: v
An all-corn ration is not good for grow
ing pigs.
1t is an easy matter to get a growing
hog off the main line onto a side track
and a difficult matter to get him back.
Lots OF young hogs are injured by using
them for the purpose OF wasting feed.
A hog can eat more han he can digest
and digest more thar he can use.
The danger OF overlooking In the case
Of growing pigs is always inimical to
maximum results.
1t is not a fact that a hog can take care
Of all he can eat.
A self feeder is not good for young pigs,
as under 5 months old they will eat too
much.
That an exclusive corn diet is not a good
thing for growing hogs has been demon
strated by a test in which animals so fed
averaged but 70 pounds in weight at the
end Of eight months, while by the new
method an average of ESQ pounds was at
tanned. This was the widest extreme in
gains produced.

PHOTOGRAPHS ON
GROWING FRUITS
Method of Printing Photographs
on Apples, Tomatoes
and Pumpkins.

1t is a simple matter to print photo
graphs upon the ordinary red apple, the
tomato and smooth skinned pumpkin IL
one goes about it in the right way. The
skin of an apple. tomato or pumpkin, par
ticularly at a certain stage of its r!pen-
ing, bears a strong resemblance 10 photo
graphic plates and printing paper, for the
reason that ii is sensitive 10 light. II is
this constituencies that where a leaf in
ervenes so as to cut off the light close
to the pumpkin, apple or tomato, will
print a silhouette as il were in green
upon the red or yellow ground.
II first hunted out an apple having a
leaf close to it's surface" says a writer in
St. Nicholas, placed a piece Of glass be-
meath the leaf and on ii cut my Initials
with a sharp knife. i then 10Y the
glass and pasted the leaf firmly TO the
apple so II would not be blown away by
the wind. and left 1t for a week.
AT the end Of that time ] took the APP
pie, soaked off the leaf and found my in
itials i'm bright red on Il light green
ground having the outline Of the leaf. My
success prompted me 70 try an actual
photograph, or one printed from a photo
graph negative.
II selected some apples of the red va
riety that were yet green and encased
them in bags made of the black paper In
WHICH DidlOS did PdDNA Va NA''oA'
packed. These bags were left on for ten
days TO exclude the light and add to the
sensitiveness of the surface.
"At the end of this time the bags were
removed and film negatives were pasted in
position by using the white Of an egg.
This white of an egg I found later TO be
the only adhesive that would not show in
the print.
"In order that all except the image
when printed might be green, the apples
were again enclosed in the protecting
bags, this time an opening a little larger
han the portrait being cut opposite the
film, This acted much as would a vignet-
ting device over a printing frame and
greatly enhanced the results.
"Other apples recorded negatives made
by scratching monograms, initials and
sketches in spoiled films with an etching
knife and attached in the same manner
and provided with the same protection
for the remainder of the surface. The
richness OF color and wealth Of detail that
can be secured in this way is astonishing.
"A week was allowed for printing. The
fine, deep red of the picture upon the
delicate green OF the ground must be seen
TO be fully appreciated. Only nature
could give just the exact tones of the two
colors that would harmonize so perfectly.
The method for printing on tomatoes or
pumpkins Is the same as for apples"

WHAT the TRADE MARK MEANS
TO The BUYER.

Few people realize the importance
of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did it
would save them many q dollar spent
for worthless goods and put q lot of
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers out of
business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business reputation
In his hands-out In the limelight-"on
the square" with the buyer of his
goods, with the dealer, and with him
self.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" offering
TO brand all goods purchased with each
local dealers brand-sidesteps respon-
sibility, and when these inferior goods
come back" 1t is the local dealer that
must pay the penalty.
A good example Of the kind OF pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered In connection with
National Lead Company's advertising
of pure White Lead as the best paint
material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of pur-
ity In White Lead is proved to the most
skeptical by the offer National Lead
Company make to send free to any ad-
dress a blow-pipe and instructions how

FEEDING LAMBS ARE CHEAPER.

From the DroFers Telegram.
1T begins to look very much as If
sheep feeders would be able to get their
lambs this fall much cheaper than last
season." This statement was made to-
day by Eugene Daigh, OF Palmer Lake,
Colo. The dry condition of most OF
the range country had the effect OF
cutting short the feed, and sheepmen
in most parts of the range territory
will be willing to sell at lower prices
his fall The lambs, as q rule, will
not be as large or as good in quality
as they were a year ago, but the diff
ference IN the price will make up for
that. II seems safe now TO say that
lambs that sold for SO a head last fall
can be bought this fall for $1.75. Sheep
feeders paid fancy prices a year ago
for feeding sheep of all kinds and they
are a little slow nov about buying.
AT this time last season thousands of
lambs. had been contracted for, but up
TO the present time l know OF but very
few hat hav been sold for delivery
his fall. This shows the feeling among
prospective feeders. We still think q
good many sheep will be fed, but buy
ing will be done later"

II guess 1t is" he said, on the run to
the table where a customer was just or
dering fried eggs. Then he went to the
kitchen and yelled through the serving
hole: ''Shipwreck two"
From the kitchen came the voice OF Mrs.
Draude.
"Godfried," she said, run out and get
some cheese"
Out of the front door skipped Probst with
change in his hand for the cheese.
While he was gone Mrs. Draude talked.
IT'S him, all right, / guess, that gets
the money. If 1t ever comes 10 him., which
l Amt so sure of, nor is he, and he Is
going to stay in this country till he's

Probst came back with the cheese.

Probst as he opened the cheese. The
cheese was limburger.

cheese smote him. 'but a little close.

VIVA are you going to do with the

Probst.
Probst smiled.
Cant you see I'm busy?" he said as
he shot for the kitchen.
And he never told how IL was that his
mothers husbands brothers brother, or
rather, his mothers sisters husbands

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

why it is the best OF personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it ~cleanses,

the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

Stick to History.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The WATERFOWL leader contains the fol-
lowing readable paragraph:
Who discovered America? Christopher
Columbus? No, the Irish discovered Am
erica. kim Alfonso will declare war on
Ireland when he learns that the famed
Spaniard must at last be robbed of his
glory and historians will turn over in
take. Where did the American Indian
originate? The mystery is at last solved.
He came from ireland. Professor j. c..
Monaghan, of Notre Dame university,
amused the Irish Fellowship club yester-
day with these revelations. He said that
Pat" discovered Iceland, Greenland and
America and proved that the Irish were
here first by the Indian tribe names. The
Onandagas took their name from the Irish
O'Donagans. the Tennessees from Hen
messy; the Swanees from Shaughnessy;
the Michigans from The Mick Egans; the
from the O'Regans; the Omahas
from the O'Mahers; the Osceolas from the
O'Scullys. The early Irish were riding
through the woods one day in Wisconsin, "
said the professor when they missed
O'Connor, Where is O'Connor?' asked one.
oh, let O'Connor walk. said another. and
thereupon the Wisconsin Indians were
named Oconomowocs."
In this hot weather, when the telegraph
wires are burdened with reports Of crimes,
and when intellectual interest languishes
except under the stimuli of themes which
inspire the imagination, il is a happy
thought to revive the well known tradi-
ton Of the Irish as the original discoveries
OF America. But even in hot weather, re-
gard should be had for the truth OF his
tory" Both the Leader and Prof. Mo-
naghan have fallen into inadvertencies.
Columbus was not a Spaniard, but an Ital-
ian-aE Italian from Genoa, by-the-way,
not IAN Italian from Cork" and the
concluding anecdote in Prof. M~onaghan's
entertaining string does not accurately re-
port the pregnant remark concerning
0'Connor, which was as follows: Sure,
O'Connor may walk" The derivation Of
Oconomowoc from the phrase as MS
quoted in the report Of Prof. Monaghan's
lecture would be difficult TO trace.

DR.. VIM. B. Wilkinson, a widely
known physician and surgeon of Staten
Island. n. Y, says two-thirds Of the
cases of appendicitis in this country are
due to the cooking utensils.
Twenty years ago" said DR.. Wilkin-
son, when food was cooked in copper
utensils, there were few cases of APP
pendicitis reported. Since the copper
utensils have gone out of style and
agate ware used in it's place hundreds
of cases of the disease are reported
weekly. The chips from the new ware
start the trouble.
II am positive that If the agate ware
were discarded and the copper utensils
were restored the percentage of APP

creased"
