INVENTOR OF CORN BROOM
Levi Dickinson, Native Of Connecticut,
Is the Man to Be Accorded
the Honor.

although it Is not generally
known" said a manufacturer OF
brooms, the house broom. such as
the housewife uses, is comparatively
a recent invention, dating back to
1876. Before that time husk brooms
were used to sweep out the ovens and
splinter brooms, made of birch, were
used for everyday use. The present
broom industry might be said to have
had it's beginning in Connecticut In
1856, when Levi Dickinson, a native
of Weatherfield, went to Hadley car
rying with him a new kind OF corn
seed which he showed his friends, say
ing that when full grown 1t would
make better brooms than ever had
been made. The Hadley women
laughed at him, but despite this, Dick
inson was not discouraged, but har-
vested his first crop of broom corn.
managed to scrape the seed from the
brush with a knife and a hoe, after
which he made his brooms. He made
the complete broom, including the
handles, and grew his own flax for the
Irvine, the whole costing him little.
Believing that his neighbors would re-
fuse to buy the new kind of broom,
Dickinson in 1898 peddled his brooms
in Williamsburg, Ashfield and Con-
way. The next year he carried them
to Pittsburg. The e brooms took.
for as soon as housewives found how
much better they weresover the old
husk or birch broom they would buy
no other. Other men went into the
business and a new industry was born
in Hadley. Dickinson lived until 1843,
long enough to see the Hadley or corn
broom in use all W. the country,
and the same broom, with improve
ments, is still in USE"

AND 1T WASN'T HUBBY AT ALL
Mr.. Younghusband UnjustIy Blamed
for Fault Of Choleric Driver of
the Mules.

Another practical application of the
a~dvisability of believing only half of
what you hear" had an inning in a
South side home recently. An upper
apartment Is occupied by a bride and
groom. The groom on this fatal morn
ing happened to be the first one up. A
teamster with a pair of balky mules on
the street below the bedroom windows
was ~admonishing the mules in the only
language mules are said to under
stand.
While the groom was in the process
of a morning plunge he was aston
ished to hear sobs coming from the ad-
joining room. Hastily repairing to the
scene of trouble, he was about to in
quire what on earth the matter was,
when in muffed tones Games the heart
broken accents of the bride:
"Oh, how dare you speak to me that
way, you horrid thing. I'm going
straight home to m-moth-' and the
balance was smothered again in the
sympathetic pillow.
The astonished groom stood, gaping
and speeches., while the sobbing was
resumed. Just then, waited in by the
gentle morning breeze, came this dull
Get ACCOMPLISHMENT from the street be-
low: Get up, you blankety-blink-
blank lazy houn' pup, yuh! How DO
you expect me to get anywhere? Dyou
think you kin stay here all day, yoh
Observation-Disclosures, etc."
The shout of laughter that broke
the tense silence in that bridal apart
ment made even the aggrieyed bride
sit up in her misery and negligee a1ti
take notice of her %convulsed brute
of a husband. Indignation was begin
ming to flame high in her eyes when
he recovered his breath enough to tell
her to Just listen a moment. She lis

morning was over had the whole apart

Toe That Rocks the Cradle,

Unique and probably the most prim-
tive cradle rocking device ever seen
or employed in any part of the world
is the one that has been adopted by
the matter-of-fact squaws Of the Kwa-
kiuti tribe of Indians now living ON
Vancouver island, British Solumbia.
The mother performs the double duty
of spinning and rocking her infant,
snugly packed in a followed out cradle
stuffed with cedar bark strips sus-
pended from the limb of a sapling.
This is about the most realistic rep
resentation Of the old nursery song,
"Rock-a-by, Baby, in the Treetop" SO
far known.
The most striking part, however, is
that the Indian mother uses her Dig
toe as the motive power. With a
cord attached to the bent limb ana
the other end wound around her toe,
she swings her dangling offspring TO
and fro, leaving her hands entirely
free for weaving .7Christian Herald

Whu Thunder Sours Mix.

1t is universally known that milk
turns soul after a thunder storm. This
has been attributed to the large guam
tity of ozone which is liberated by the
electricity In the air. The experiments
of Professor Trillat in Paris do not
confirm that theory. He has estab-
lished that atmospheric depressions
cause putrefying gases-normal quiz
escent-to rise to the surface of GER
tain substances, and in support of his
theory points out that odors of all
sorts are mere~ p%ermeating after
storms. These atmospheric depres-
sions accelerate the decomposition of
gases and tend to liberate them.
Hence Tactic ferment is produced.
Professor Trillat has made many ex-
periments with diverse substances un-
der varying pressures and has OBJ
served that when the barometer is
lowest during storms, etc. the de-
composition Of gases is most rapid

Yes, these are hard times. We
throw away ashes and buy soap.
We raise dogs and buy hogs.
We grow weeds and buy veg
etables. We catch fish with a
four dollar rod. We build
school houses and send our chill
dren away from nome to be
educated. And at last but not
least, we send our boys out with
a forty dollar gun and a twenty

TrousSeauX.

In ancient Greece the trousseau
were made by all the women Of the
brides house. Later the Merovingian
chiefs exacted that their brides should
come to the marriage bringing all
their possessions. When the daugh-
ter of the seigneur of Coyey married,
her trousseaux, or "trousses," includ-
ed mine servitors, thirty liegemen, a
chaplain, and an astrologist." The
customs of the seigneurs evolved
popular fashions. and, high and low,
the women multiplied their garments
and the fashions of them.
Under the empire the %trousseau
was composed Of jewels, lace, fine IN

through his pen. He has written in that
time almost as constantly as he has
talked: and the joint output has netted
him handsomely. both in the matter Oh
money and in that of prestige.
But the question now is asked, how will
Mr.. Bryan be able to spare time even for
a monthly publication when ne will be SC
much occupied with the business of the
State Department?
Again his readiness and industry may
answer the question. He has shown the
ability to perform his journalistic labors
when carrying other burdens. At Balti-
more last year, with the national conven-
ton in his grasp-maneuvering for Mr..
Wilson's nomination. and serving as chair
man of the platform Communicable kept
up his syndicate letters to daily newspa-
pers, describing convention Developments.
and even predicting results. With a ste
nographer at his side he turned out a
coed deal Of readable copy without neg
lecting any of his duties as delegate to
the convention and commander-in-chiefo of
the Wilson forces.
The monthly Commoner will have an
advantage which the weekly Commoner
never enjoyed. That is to say. it will be
sort of semi-officiai publication. Its
editor will be the Secretary of State. and
not divorceable from his Office. Those who
read IT will bear that fact In mind. and
be the more impressed with its utter
ances. The weekly Commoner has been
presided over by private citizen-aiming,
1t is true. at the very top of official life,
but. through the turn of fortunes wheel,
never able to make goal.

Fire Departments Speeders.

The other afternoon a motor cyclist
travelling, 1t is stated, at proper rate
Of speed was struck at a downtown
street crossing by a fire department
motor car and seriously injured. The
motor car was being sent through a mar
row street at a very high rate of speed
and the driver was sounding his "hooter. .
Owing to the situation, however, the
noise was not heard by the cyclist. The
case not only demands investigation, but
suggests the necessity of a modification
Of the traffic regulations, which at pres
ent give full right of way without speed
restrictions to all vehicles Of the police,
lire, health and water departments of
the District The motor cars Of the fire
department are today grave menace in
the streets OF Washington. They are
rushed from their stations at tremendous
speeds, greatly in excess OF those main
tanned by the fire apparatus. and ii is a
wonder that numerous accidents have
not occurred on this account. There is
but little necessity for getting these
motors &c the scene of a fire in such short
order. The firemen themselves get there
quickly enough and are we'll trained to
do without loss of time what needs to be
