England and in the western mining
districts. 1t is attached to whalebone
handles 12 inches long and weighs two
ounces. The handles have inscriptions
on them which are almost obliterated
by age.
The person who brought the rod to
America was Isaac Greenleaf, who set
tied in Massachusetts. The rod became
famous as finder of water. After
marking the place of many springs the

Wasted Sarcasm.

The Philadelphia milk dealers who
recently raised the price of their
product 20 nine cents a quart and then
lowered It again to eight appear to
have been the subjects of great deal
Of unjust censure. They announced
at the time Of the raise that milk
could not be sold at eight cents with
out loss. Finding that the consumers
would not pay the new price, however.
they are continuing to sell at the old,
thereby qualifying as genuine phllan-
thropists. Every purchaser Of milk
at eight cents a quart will doubtless
hereafter feel that he is an object Of
charity.

distance to be gained in order to offset
this necessity"
