Found Use for SaWdust.

In the consideration of a change
from steam to electric drive in a st.
Paul (Minn.) saw and box mill. the
one stumbling block was the matter OF
the disposition of the sawdust accumu-
lated about the machinery. Under
the old system this was made use OF
under the boilers, and thus 1t saved
the expense of fuel and Of being car
ried away, but the problem was event
ually solved by the erection Of stor-
age house where the sawdust was
stored in the shape of bales and 6is-
uosed of during the winter, when 1t
demanded higher price than could
be secured in the summer. In winter
the material is in demand for bedding
in stables. The change from steam
to electricity proved to be desirable
one from every standpoint after the
matter of the disposal of the refuse
was solved in this manner.

GERMANY LAST OF EMPlRES7
Kaiser Wilhelm, With Prophetic Eye
Foresees the Inevitable Coming OF
Triumphant Republics.

my son will be the last Of the en-
perors," Kaiser Wilhelm is said to
have told the historian, Karl Won
Kroon, recently. "Au the world will
be republican within so years. Ger
many will be the last of the empires.
1t is inevitable"
The kaiser Is credited with being q
far-sighted politician as well as an
able upholder of his prerogative as q
sovereign He sees the drift of the
times as other crowned heads see 1t.
Monarchy is passing, even in England.
1t has passed in France and Portugal;
it has become merely nominal in other
European countries. Even China hag
become a republic. Germany is con-
sentative on the subject, no doubt be-
cause 1t has had excellent rulers.
From an American point of view 1t
seems likely that the last nation to
change, as the kaiser prophesies-to
be even later than Russia.
Monarchism, like feudalism, has had
a proper place in the evolution Of civ
lIization, but, like feudalism, 1t must
go. There have been few real kings
and queens whose work for the world
has been great, and the ideal of king
ship, as Carlyle paints It, inspires
high sentiments and noble deeds. But
this is an age In which kings and
queens have little to do and in which
education is so widely diffused as to
make the real leaders recognizable rs
the need of them arises. The world
progresses politically as 1t progresses
materially, Intellectually and morally.

Tea Is native to Japan, China and
Upper Assam. In the latter country
1t is found In a wild state. The
plant has been carried to many coun-
tries and grows with almost as much
vigor as in it's native lands.
Tea was first introduced In Europe
by the Dutch in 1866. The leaves OF
the coffee plant have long been used
as a substitute for tea by the lower
classes in Java and Sumatra. In ap.
pearance, taste and odor this substi
tute compares favorably with the

DUCK RIDS ROOM OF FLIES
Management Of Chicago Hotel VIII In
the Future Pin Its Faith to
Domestic Bird.

The manager OF a big Chicago hotel
has found a very simple solution OF
the fly problem. II is a flock of ducks
The ordinary hotel perhaps has no
particular accommodations for live
ducks; but in this there is a fountain
in the center Of the approaches to the
various dining rooms. The fountain
has large basin, and Just by way OF
novelty the manager several months
ago placed a few ducks in the water.
They padded around and enjoyed II.
and the guests enjoyed seeing them
But, better still, the ducks also enjoy
ed the flies that attempted 70 enter
the dining rooms and feast upon the
good things therein. The fliee-in
Chicago, at least-fly low; and ducks.
as any one who has ever seen them
knows, are especially quick In catch
ing insects. The consequence is, this
particular hotel, once troubled with
flies, now has practically none. And
the ducks, once lean to verge OF
scrawniness, are fat and sleek.
The duck method of disposing Of
the fly nuisance cannot, Of course, OBJ
tain in private households to any de-
gree: but in this particular hostelry
the ducks have caused the wire fly
swatter and traps to be thrown into
the ash heap.
Perhaps next year the enterprising
manager will attach some sort of a
meter to every duck. 30 that at the
end Of the season he can tell how
many flies each busy fowl has disposed
