CEDAR FOR PENCILS.

Tennessee Tract That Furnishes
Wood for That Purpose Exclusively.
Down in my State there Is a patch
Of territory about twenty-five miles
square. near the town where the bat
tie OF Franklin was fought during
the civil war, which is practically
the only section in the United States
where cedar is grown for no other
purpose than to furnish stock for the
lead pencil industry" said Thomas
Green Of Nashville.
In that section cedar trees seem
to spring spontaneously from the
soil and the peculiar thing about 1t
is that they do not grow in any other
section OF the State to amount to any
thing. These forests give employ
ment to many wood choppers and
planning mill workers, who prepare
the cedar for shipment to lead pen
Gil factories in the Eastern States
and to Europe.
IAN immense amount OF the. wood
Is cut, planed, sawed and shipped out
of the town Of Murfreeshoro, Tenn,
every year. There have been many
fortunes made in that section out OF
cedar. Cedar trees there are cult.
waited as is any other crop. The
groves, conserved as they are now by
the wise owners, will last forever
and will be furnishing the close grain

LONG DISTANCE MARKETING.
Rural Telephones a Business Neces-
sity to Every Farmer.

Slty 10 Every Farmer.
Practically every business man in
the city has telephone. No one who
deals with his commercial colleagues
would think of doing without the
'phone-it pays to have one. That's
true In the city-but do you realize
Just how much more valuable the tel
ephone is to the farmer? Those with
whom he deals are often miles away.
To him it Is an absolute necessity,
and to do without would be worse
than uncomfortable.
For instance, take the stock raiser
who wants to sell some animals.
What job it is to drive them along
the road, to find his man, and, If the
bargain is not made, to drive them all
back again. If he has a telephone,
arrangements are made for a meet
ing, or even a dicker can be made
over the long distance wire.
What relief 1t is to the farmer to
be able to find out how prices are in
town--to watch for a good market
and sell at best advantage to himself.
Yes, relief, but not only that, a saw
Ing OF money-real, jingling coin in
his pocket.
A glance at the sales reported this
season gives an idea of the growing
popularity of this great medium of
comfort and convenience. The West
ern Electric Company, the largest
manufacturers of telephones and tele-
phone apparatus in the world, sup
plying the entire Bell system with ap-
pliances, reports having sold no less
than $4,000 rural telephones in the
past sixty days.

RIGHT SIDED TONGUE.

Is the Tongue Of the laxative Man
Person Who Can't Keep a Secret.
From the observations made by a
physiognomist it appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as
eloquent in giving its owner away as
when it is wagging sixteen to the
dozen. This is a hard fact for a
silent man to swallow-in silence.
His only remedy is to keep well so
as to obviate the necessary injunc-
ton OF the doctor to put his tongue
out, for by this thrust out sign the
doctor shall know him.
The tongue OF the talker when OBJ
truded inclines to the risht side OF
the mouth, we are asked to believe,
whereas the seldom used tongue gra-
vitates to the left side. Orators.
preachers and barristers are en- lowed
with right sided tongues. Verbally
parsinonious persons have left sided
tongues.
Furthermore, "the tongue that
shoots out straight without turning
or wavering indicates a solid, re-
liable man OF affairs" Tongues that
turn UP indicate impractical natures.
A downward. dropping tongue be-
longs to a person born in poverty and
a ready eye for the hopeless side Of
things.
The cruel tongue fattens and
broadens when extended. The dell
cate speaking organ with curled up
edges is the property OF an magma
tive and artistic being. When the
tongue issues forth as If gripped In
dental wise it signifies . love Of
life more than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the in
dividual who thrusts forth his tongue
to its EXTREMIST verge is a person
70 whom no secret should ever be
confided, for he is an irresponsible
chatterer.-London Chronicle.

To Garry Freight by
Air-Ship. Il,


Germany will soon be leading the
world in air-ship construction II the
enthusiasm over the sport, or indus
try as some consider 1t, continues to
be as widespread as It is to-day.
The Zeppelin air-ship made several
notable performances before its mis-
hap; the Wright Brothers are urged
to give some exhibitions with their
aeroplane at Berlin; a company was
recently organized to promote an in
ter-city aerial passenger service in
Zeppelin machines; and now a dirigi-
BILE balloon for the carrying OF freight
is proposed.
Professor Schuette, of the Techni-
cal High School at Danzig, Prussia, is
the inventor of the new cargo balloon
soon to be constructed at that place.
The gas bag will be 80 feet long,
with a diameter of about fifty feet,
and the skeleton frame Is to have
double diagonal wooden ribs instead
Of the customary aluminium ones. A
car 120 long by twelve and a half
feet wide will be carried, and the
power for driving the propeller will
be generated by two gas motors OF
$50 horse power each. BY the SUBJ
stitution of wood for aluminium, the
ability of the machine to carry weight
is much increased, and, in addition to
the equipment and crew, 1000 to
$500 pounds of freight may be taken.
1t is estimated that an average speed
of fifty miles per hour attained by
the new irigible.-Harper's Weekly.
