A sad blow has been dealt the
newspaper and other printing Offices
in New York state. a cruel legisla-
ture, bent on imposing the principles
OF hygiene and disregarding entirely
custom and comfort, has banished the
printing office towel. famed in song
and story. and in its stead has com
manded the use OF the unsympathetic
paper towel
A wall accompanied the departure
of the tried and trusted friend, as
many an old time printer gingerly
held the printing office towel between
his fingers and escorted it upon its
last trip--to the ash can No doubt
there we're many who would gladly
have deposited it under a glass case
and kept it there as a relic of bygone
and more comfortable days. Perhaps
some of them did just that and will
weep over it as the occasion demands
or the spirit moves them.
Not alone for itself for its comfort
and utility was the printing Office
towel held in high esteem. put also
because of the fact that its mutual
use established the bonds of friend
ship among men Think of the ford
words that have been spoken over the
ritual of its use as Bill wiped his
hands on one end, Tom rubbed his
face with the other, while Jim, with
a corner of It deftly twisted about
his finger, scraped some of the ubiq
uitous ink from the corner of his eye!

THE OLD OFFICE TOWEL

Those days have passed. The paper
towel is unsympathetic and invites
no condolences. Its cackle is unme-
lodious. You cannot sigh into it after
hard days work, nor can you look
with longing toward the time when
next you will use it. You don't. You
throw it away and it has gone out of
your life forever, a crumpled heap
lying on the floor or in these sanitary
times in a receptacle provided for the
disposition of its remains
Yes, there is no doubt that fond re-
grets follow the departure of the
printing office towel. but when you
come to think of it. wasn't it awfully
let us be generous and say-soiled,
at times, and most times in fact?
The new and sanitary individual
paper towel may be heartless thing,
i: is true, but anyway it is clean
When it has been used some ink will
no doubt be removed from face and
hands to the towel and not, as in
/ former times, vice versa
The introduction of new things into
the printing office is getting on apace.
The old towel had to go sooner or
later to make room for something
I better, for something which will i'm

the temporary condition of face and

SwitzerIand,s Navy.

Long before Germany was to be reck.
oned with as a sea power Switzerland
possessed feet equipped for warfare.
Eight hundred years ago on all the
larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons. Skill
ed shipwrights had to be imported from
Genoa for the construction of these
vessels. some of which carried crews OF
800 men. The largest Swiss hotilla
was maintained on the Lake OF Gene
va. when the Inhabitants Of Geneva
were at war with Savoy. Since the
neutrality of Switzerland has been
guaranteed by the powers there has
been no need for warships on the lakes.
The Swiss. however. possess a mercan-
tile navy. which carries a considerable
amount of trade over the 842 miles Of
uavigabls waterways In the republic.

5uoyaney Of Fresh and Salt Water.

Buoyancy Of Fresh and Salt Water.
A Chinese lad dropped his ball in a
narrow hole and could not get 1t out
So he poured water in the hole. think
ing that he would float the ball to the
surface. AS the ball was slightly heav.
fer than water, 1t remained on the bot
tom. Then he thought of mixing salt
with the water, as he knew that salt
water would float denser objects than
fresh. This be did and was rewarded
with the floating ball.
This particular fact is demonstrated
at the mouths Of rivers. Objects rolling
along the bottom of a fresh river. too
heavy to come to the top. will rise
when they are carried out to sea. The
general rule also applies to floating
bodies. For instance, ship with a
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes a
foot ON entering fresh water port
On the other hand, If she leaves fresh
water port with her cargo she will rise
when entering the ocean. So a ship
may be loaded apparently too much at
a wharf and still be all right on the
waves.
In building a dam the fact of salt
waters being heavier than fresh must
be taken into consideratio ton. and the
dam for the same head must be a good
deal stronger; this. too. without taking
into consideration the beating of waves,

The feed given should consist of a

one pound shorts, one pound ground

Shorthorn cows milk brought $45.I0;
her feed cost $3.50. leaving a profit
of 1881.
Now, think of the thousands of farm
ers who are contented-yes, that's the
word for it, real contented-to slave
away year after year for just such
cows as the ShorthOrn represents.
There is only one thing that will help
them out of the deep rut they are in.
That is a change of mind-a change Of
ideas. II they would read; If they
would put themselves, like those In
diana farmers, where they could see
truth about cows as it is; if they would
take hold of COW testing association
all that would lift them up very soon to
where they could see things as they
really ought to exist. But there is little
hope for a man as long as he sticks to
the poor, improbable COW. She will
drag him down to her level.
