Trying to find Uses for Anaathus.

Excelsior can not be made from any
or al woods. According to the popu-
lar notion it is aproduct of wood waste,
but this is not usually the case. For
example, the forest service, which has
been experimenting to discover uses
for ailanthus, sometimes known as Par
adise Tree or Tree Of Heaven, finds
that it probably viii not make good ex-
eelsior.
There are great quantities Of allan
thus in the east, and especially in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys, where it
has been naturalized from specimens in
trodueed from China until it is now
more abundant than some Of the native
species.
Its wood has been used in small guam
titles for boxes and crates, but no otner
use has been reported. The Indiana
state board Of forestry and the forest
service eo-operated in securing a small
consignment for an excelsior factory,
where it was found that ailanthus does
not work up into good excelsior because
the product was not springy and the
strands tended to break and erumble
under pressure. This may have been
due in some measure to the fact that
the wood has been kiln dried, and fur
Their experiments viii be undertaken to
see whether sir-died material, after a

oriain of Norfolk Jackets.

What is the origin Of the Norfolk
jacket. and why the straps or plaiS
and belt?
The name is derived from the county
OF Norfolk. on the southeast coast Of
England. The shores Of the county are
marshes intersected by tidal streams
locally known as the broads," an ideal
spot for shooting wild fowl. The na-
ture Of the country is such that the
shooter must carry his own game bag
and ammunition, for leaders would be
more bother than they are worth Ac-
eordingly there developed a shooting
Jacket with convenience for this en-
ployment, the belt for the carriage Of
the game bag and powder horn or car

What q Sparrow Did.

What Is perhaps the most remark.
able accident that ever occurred was
reported from Germany. A large tour
ing car was travelling at fair speed
along a boulevard lined with trees
Large hOcks OF sparrows were in the
trees, and several boys were taking
chances OF being arrested by the police
by shooting at the birds with sling
shots. One pebble. particularly well
aimed. struck a sparrow on the upper
wing and sent him gliding through the
air directly toward the driver Of the
ear; the bird struck him full in the
face. and in the next instant things
began to happen. The driver clutched
at his eyes. the car lurched into the
ditch. knocking down a telegraph pole,
valuted to a plowed field on the other
side Of the ditch, and went full force
into a huge haystack. Despite this wild
swerve. no one was even scratched ex-
cept the driver. whose eyesight was
damaged by the claws Of the sparrow
The whole incident had taken far less
time than needed to relate it.-Leslies.

To the General Public:
Referring to the article published in
one of the newspapers August 16, under
the head of "Major R. R. jackson, q
modern Goliath" will say, 1 am in q
position to state that Major r. B. Jack
SON has no part in the Second Ward
Citizens Aldermanie League and knows
nothing of its origin, except through a
conversation which we had together on
Tuesday afternoon, August 18th, after
the article appeared in the paper, but
Major Jackson, like all other good cit
liens with the highest interest Of the
race at heart, is in sympathy with any
that has a tendency to ele-
vate any citizen. The officers and
members Of the Second Ward Citizens
Aldermanie League, viii bear me out in
saying that Major Jackson has not been
identified with the movement in any
way, either in person or by eommuni-
cation.
The men who originated this move
ment have united themselves in this
fight, are all American citizens. They
are men who are making their daily
bread by the sweat Of their brows and
by the success Of the business enter
prises which they are conducting. They
are not looking to any one for a dollar.
They have no personal interests to
gain, but the interests Of the race, and
have done no more than other good cit
liens Of other races have done. One
thing they have decided upon that is
with the officers and members Of the
league, and that is emo backward steps
viii be taken, but the forward march. I"
Our motto is emo criticism but sue
cess" Every other nationality and
race in the city is represented in the
city council, and why not our names
be written therei
We believe this is one Of the best
that has ever been made in
the city, and feel confident Of the CO.
operation Of all the best citizens Of the
second ward, as well As of the press and
believe success viii crown our effort.

For example, yesterday when wanted

took me up and tretted me on her knee
and then turned me over on my stomach
and Patted me on the back; still I kept

until at last the nurse concluded I had

Kicked with al my might and just cried
and "hollered" to beat the band. But
