Typew ritersG i veil Away

The Emerson Typewriter Com­pany of Wood-stock, 111., have re­cently given away over 400 of the highest grade wholly visible Emer­son typewriters made in the world They have gone into every stale and territory in the United States. There may be some in your town They are giving them away every­where to men, women, boys arid girls, over IS years of ape, on sur­prisingly liberal conditions.

If you could make use of a $000 typewriter, providing it did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter or on a postal card addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, I I I , sifnply say, “Mail me all your Free Offers,” and by return mail you will receive their Free Offers, the names of over 400 who have recently received type­writers free, and you will learn on what easy conditions you can get one of their typewriters free right away.

The Emerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visible typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the “EMER-' SON” and other makes pronounce the “EMERSON4’ superior to any $100.00 typewriter on the market. It is a « l i{ ^ visible machine; has every new, up-to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100 00 type­writers, though it is selling jus t now; at an astonishingly low price

The cones grow principally at the tops of the spruce trees, and the largest and the finest are always to

found thdre. The chickaree se­lects a tree distinguished either for the steepness and density of its up­per part or for its leaning to one aide, as either of these characteris­tics makes it certain that the cones, if detached, will fall to the ground. Thence cuts off the heavily laden twigs and lets them drop. This is done with an impatient rapidity.

should a person bo sitting quietly tinder a tree while one of these busy little creatures is at work at the top he would see the bunches of cones come tumbling down in such quick sucre,sion that he might suppose that half a dozen squirrels were at work instead of only one indus­trious little fellow. These bunches sehUrn lodge in the branches befow, bul if the squirrel on his wav down notices one of them arrested iu a hopeful position toward the end of a hough he will sometimes run out and give it a ,second send'o'F.

Those who have climbed tall spruce trees, especially in Canada, for observations of the surounding eouniry have often noticed bundles of cones lodged where, if started off a second time, they would be certain to catch again in the thick branches before reaching the ground. The squirrels seem to understand the situation perfectly and leave such branches to their fate.

The chickaree, having thrown down a sufficient quantify for a few ihivs’ use, proceeds to carry then to his fuvonle feeding place near bv. lie peels off (he scales in suc­cession and nibbles out, the seeds With great rapidity.—Exchange. •

Popular Phrases.Here arc a few examples from

Basil Hargrave’s “Origins and Meanings of Popular Phrases and Names:’’ Tim phrase “every rnan Jack of them” is explained as a cor­ruption of the archaic “everieh” or “every chon” (every one) into “ev­ery Jolui” and then “every .lack,” “Hobson’s choice” goes back to the seventeenth century — to Tobias Ilobson, who kept a livery stable at Cambridge, England, and who “would only let out his horses in strict rotation, savimr, ‘Tins or none.’” “MimJ your F’s and Q’s” is said to be a reference to pints and quails m the old alehouse score and an admonition “not to allow (lie seore to run too long.” “ Point blank” was the while spot in the center of the ‘ target, from the French bin no.

Street Car Gallantry.Lafayette Young, for awhile sen­

ator from Iowa, gave the following account of an incident on a street car in Dos Moines:

The car was crowded and mostly by women who were bent on shop­ping. When all had been vented the three or four men who indulged in the luxury of scats looked at one another as though to say, “We are next to got up.” In fact, three wo­men got on at the next stop, and a business man rose to offer his seat to one of them, who was young and very pretty.

“You are a jewel,” the latter said, smiling ns she thanked him.

“No, madam, ! am a jeweler,” he said. “I set jewels.”

And now he is married to that lady.—Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Once while in com- i inaml of the three masted schooner i Crifftta be was wrecked on « smalt , Island of the Caroline group, in the : south sens. For a month he and ins crew of eight lived there, existing nt

I first on the few provisions they had j saved from the wreck aud later on tropical fruits and on birds they shot Among their number was one w ho had broken several ribs, and the care of hits fell upon Captain Dempwoif.

from nose to et>4 of Uil -o» eve*eleven feet along the contour of the hack. If he were to rise on bis hind feet to strike a man down he would stand somewhere between seven and eight feet tall, depending on how nearly he straightened up. He weighed just under GOO pounds, or as much as four well grown spec­imens of our own mountain lion.

“1 tell you this that you may re­alize, us I did not, the size to which a wild lion grows. Either menagerie specimens are stunted in growth or their position and surroundings tend td belittle them, for certainly until a man sees old Leo in the wil­derness he has not understood'what a fine chap he is.

“This tremendous weight is sheer strength. A lion’s carcass when the skin is removed is a really beautiful sight. The great muscles lie m ropes and bands, the forqann thick­er than a man’s leg, the lithe barrel banded with brawn, the flanks over­laid by the long, thick muscles. And this power is instinct with the n^fv- ous force of a highly organized be­ing. The lion is quick and intelli­gent and purposeful, so that be brings to his intenser activities the conccnlralioii of vivid passion, whether of unger or of hunger.”

A Tooth. *A tooth is n living structure. In­

side of each tooth is a cavity filled with pulp, which gives it life. Nerves aml“blood vessels connect this pulp with the general system and the circulation of the body. Tbe ivory surrounding (he pulp is covered over by a surface of enamel. Both ivory nml enamel are harder than tuny other bones, because they con­tain a greater quantity of bone earth. Enamel on the tops of the teeth is one-Fix'teenth of an inch thick. It consists of little six sided prisms placed side by side and held together by an exquisitely fine ce­ment. The pulp of the tooth be­comes diseased and toothache fol­lows, Tartar is a secretion made by three glands in the mouth, full of small, living organisms, which assimilate matter in the suliva and deposit on the tenth in the shape of phosphate of lime.

Th* Muff.' In many of (lie portraits of tho

sixteenth century one often sees a Btrip of rich, soft fur wound around the wrist of a noble dame. Tltis was used to cover the neck or fulfill the function of a muff, and to it was often attached a small animal’s head or a skull cunningly wrought in metal and adorned with precious stones. The first Venetian'muffs were small, made of a single piece of velvet, brocade or silk lined with fur, the opening enriched with gold or silver buttons set with stones. I’ylffG'd the mull seems to have been recognized as the necessary adjunct of the wardrobe of a wom­an of fashion.

These torches are often used in fishing by night arid burn with ranch brilliancy. The lampfdack used in tattooing is obtained from the shell of the candle nut.
