Nowadays he is a hero. You only

The President and War.

According to the constitution of the
United States. article 1. section 8.
clause II, the power to declare war be-
longs to the congress. The president
as the chief executive. when war is
declared becomes commander in chief
of the army and navy, but he cannot
take the initiative in bringing on the
war The president who should have
the temerity to declare the country at
war with another people would be in
simultaneously removed from his high
office The men who made the consti-
tuition upon which our government
rests knew how fatal to human rights
and happiness the monarchical prin-
ciple had been, and therefore they saw
to it that the nations head should have
nothing to do with declaring war with
another nation.--New York American.

Best Fowl For the Table.

The best table fowl is one that has
the heaviest weight of meat on those
parts of the body which are favorite
cuts The breast and thighs must be
heavy in a good table fowl in proper
ton to the remainder of the body. In
order to have thick breast meat and
big thighs these muscles must be used
by the fowl In other words. the fiier
and scratcher will prove to be the best
table fowl. for their lively habits give
the muscles of the legs and breast
work that renders them firm and fine

Once Considered Waste, 1t Is Now a
Very Valuable Product.
The sawdust man in New York is a
very important business man. The
wholesale sawdust dealer advertises all
kinds of sawdust and requests that you
will telephone your needs so that there
may be an early delivery.
1t used to be that any one who want
ed sawdust went to the sawmill and
asked for as much us be wanted There
was only one kind of sawdust in the
good old days and that was an unim
pOrtant product. which anybody could
have for the asking. Now the saw
dust wholesaler will tell you that saw
dust is a very valuable product and
that the sawdust business is offering
greater opportunities.
There are about sixty kinds OF saw
dust on the market so says the saw
dust expert. and all Of them have their
stated uses in the realm of trade
All the way from the preparation of
food to the polishing of precious metal
ranges the usefulness of sawdust. The
hardwood dusts are used for polishing
in some jewelers. shops and cheaper
sawdusts are used for polishing less
valuable metal work. In packing and
making cushions, for the covering of
floors and i'll the fur business, sawdust
is useful.-New York Herald.

Unless they are fairly conversant

above all. with the newspapers of to-

new language seems in process of for
nation in the United States. A Dan
ish savant. the professor of languages
at the Copenhagen university, has pre-
dicted that in a few centuries ''they
will be speaking American over in
England instead of English" He is
also of the opinion that 1.-The so called
slang of the present American tongue
Serviceable than the English of Shakes
peare's time"
Making allowance for a certain ex-
aggeration. this expression of opinion
is notable as showing that an expert
believes q new American Language"
to be in course of development. Ameri-
can slang is certainly more forceful
and expressive than the argot Of the
British Isles, and. although much of it
is quite unnecessary, it consists in
large part of the employment of very,
up to date metaphor, rather than the
use of "cant phrases" as they were
termed in the eighteenth century.
In fact. the use of metaphor is so
pronounced that an Englishman. 9th
erwise ignorant of good United States
lingo might understand much of it if
he were conversant with the technical
terms employed in engineering or rail
way operations. 1t is creeping into
English rather rapidly. a fact heartily
to be deplored.-London Globe.
