sAwDUsT FLOUR FROM
 WASTE OF LUMBER MILL

Flour from sawdust is another step in the movement for the conservation of forest resources. The United States consul at Christiania, Norway, has sent to this government sugges- ton along this line which may be of value to American lunbermen who are wrestling with the problem of sawdust waste.
 The flour in question is not the kind which goes into the making of light. fluffy biscuits, and the other kind which are not light. or flaky pastry. but 1t is an ingredient of dy- nannte. linoleum, xyolito which for the information of the man on the and other things It is not put for ward as a new discovery. for it has been in use for several years in Eu- rope, and to a Small extent in this country.
 The wood flour is ground in a cheap mill. very similar to those which grind corn and rye. Pine and spruce saw dust Is used in Europe and after pas- sing through the stones and the bolt ing chest, 1t is sacked or baled for shipment. It is then worth twelve to thirteen dollars a ton.
 The flour has a number of uses, one of whichis in the making of dynamite. 1t is the absorbent for the nitro-gly- cerine, which is the explosive inere- dient. Wood flour dynamite is infer
 
 as the absorbent; but 1t serves many purposes. and is cheaper. But dyna- mite is one of the smallest prospective uses for the product. Linoleuin inak- CTS mix it with inseed oil and give body to their floor coverings. It is not considered quite equal to ground cork for this purpose as 1t is less elas- tic, but it is cheaper and meets re- quirements for medium grades.
 The flour fills an important place in the manufacture of xyolite, a kind of artificial flooring. resembling wood in weight. and stone in other respects. It is used for kitchen floors, and in halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants asd public rooms. It is impervious to water. and is practically fireproof. 1t is floor material in some of the German war vessels. It is so used because it is not liable to take fire or splinter if struck by shells.
 Many additional uses for wood flour will probably be found. The amount of sawdust to be had in this coun- try is practically unlimited, and mill men will welcome any plan that will lessen the waste at the sawdust dump. Norway exports thousands of tons of this sawdust flour yearly and the Uni ted States takes some of it. Germany Is a large manufactures also and has been for years. England is an exten- sive buyer, and much goes. to France

It is a conservative estimate to say that during the latest years of never less than s150eOo a year and sometimes exceeded $200. 900. and this estimate takes account of certain ex- traordinary expenses such as the pri- vate car in which he travelled all about the country. On one of his last visits to San Francisco. his receipts for two weeks exceeded s53. o0o.. of which 80 per cent, or s42.foo. went to the actor him. self
 -Of the living stars it is perhaps in- vidious tc single out some above oth- CTS. But some of them are SO lumin- 0usly in the public eye that no discus sion of this subject would be complete that excluded their names. Two such are Maude Adams and David War field.
 'In recent years Miss Adams has been particularly fortunate in her plays. Of the last four seasons she has occupied two exclusively with the adorable Peter Pan'. and one with What Every Woman Knows and the latter Barrie play will employ her at least all of the present season. The testers, in which she appeared two years ago. was far less popular, but reasonable estimate of the profits from her performances for the last four years would place the average at s175. 900. She has been a star since 1897 Ctwelve years) and as a star of her caliber is certain to receive not less than 50 per cent. of the profits. Miss ATams is by this time more than a millionaire, as she has lived unostenta- tiously-is. in fact. off the stage, al most a recluse.

THE CAME OF PIG.

Any one who has not played the game of Pig has yet to learn what a really thrilling game 1t Is. It can be played either for prizes or with for feits and Is either way delightful. The cards used are those of the euchre deck which are dealt as for Old Maid Players sit around general table and cards are dealt face down. Every one matches the card dealt to him as quickly and quietly as he can. the ob- jetc being to get out of cards as soon as possible. As soon as any player finds himself out of cards (which is done by drawing and matching as in old Naid) he says nothing about it, but folds his hands under the table This Is a signal for all players to do the same thing-that is, to lay aside their cards and observe silence. But most players are too intent upon the game to notice the silence reigning in other parts of the table. One by one they become aware of this fact and quietly lay down their cards. The last to do so is the Pig. who must either forfeit his chance for the prize or pay a forfeit according to the arr engagements made in advance of the game. A number of rounds are aI- ways played in order that number of pigs shall be rnade.-woman's Home Companion for December.
