use. and vaIue of Timber.

In order to know what tract of timber Is worth it is necessary to know the value Of the products. Not only should the general uses of the different kinds of wood be known, but careful attention should be given to any .spe- cial use for given kinds or sizes of trees which may result in increased value. The market for wood lot tim Der is chiefly for ties, poles, firewood. posts. piles, rails, lumber and very fire quently in the round for pulp wood, acid factories and box manufacturers, while special kinds. such as fine white oak. asn. s, cold growth hickory, cher ", etc. have large number of special uses, sucb as in the vehicle industry. furniture making. etc. 1t is again urged that owners should be particular to inquire into their special markets both for the different kinds of timber and for the most profitable form into which given sized trees may be work ed. By taking advantage of this they can very frequently double the price received for their products.-R. Rosen- bluth in American Forestry.

Punctuation Marks.

Punctuation by means of stops and points, so as to indicate the meaning of sentences and assist the reader to a proper enunciation, is ascribed origi- nally to Aristophanes, a grammarian of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the third century E. C. Whatever his sys- tenn may have been, it was subsequent ly neglected and forgotten, but was re- introduced by Charlemagne, the vari- ous stops and symbols being designed by Warnefried and Alcuin. The pres ent system of punctuation was intro duced ill the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius, a .Nene- tian printer, who was responsible for our full stop. colon. semicolon, comma. marks of Interrogation and exclama' ton, parenthesis and dash, hyphen apostrophe and quotation marks These were subsequently copied by other printers until their use became universal. Most ancient languages were innocent of any system of pune tuation.

eventeen Year Locusts.

The song of the cicada is the noisiest in the insect world. The seventeen year cicada has been called the Rip Van Wrinkle of the insect world. From its tiny eggs there issues creature with soft white body and mole-like front legs. 1t hurries to the ground and disappears beneath Its surface sometimes to a, depth of twenty feet. For seventeen years it digs its way around in absolute darkness and then comes to the surface to join in mar riage revelry of a few brief weeks. It is a full fledged creature of the air, though encased still in grave clothes of parchment, but it soon splits these up the back. pulls itself out, dries its powerful wings and flies away with the whirr of an aeroplane to live but a few brief weeks.-National Geograph. ical Society Bulletin.

Mad at Paint

25c a gallon for paint is about s2. 30 on the average job, and lots of men waited last year for that; but they didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't pay it.
 There are times to get mad and rec fuse to pay; but when ones property needs protecting is no time to get mad and not paint.
 Besides, it costs more to get mad and wait than to paint
 Getting mad doesn't do any good to your property; paint does it good by keeping out water; no water no rot; 10 paint, some water and rot; and little rot is more than enough to make man liberal towards his painter and paint Paint costs not a cent.

The Valiant Eanln.

The eagle has been used as n device on royal banners from very remote times. 1t was the ensign of the an cient kings of Persia and of Babylon. The Romans adopted various other figures on their camp standards, but Marius made the eagle the chief en- sign of the legions, and to the subdi- vision assigned various other figures. Constantine was the first emperor to introduce the two headed eagle as a royal or national device to indicate that his empire had two heads or kings, but was nevertheless one body or empire. The two headed eagle Is now used to signify double empire. Austria claims to be the successor of the Caesars of Rome, and also of Charlemagne, and the one head repre-. sents the eastern and the other the western empire. Russia also has a double headed eagle. having added that of Poland to her own.-London Standard
