USES OF SAWDUST, Too Valuable now to Ee Put to the Uses it Once Served. .Many arc the uses of sawdust. In tho days when the sawdust wagon miu'.o its lumbering loiinds throi'-'i tho streets of i,t" large eilie'j t.n commercial uses of s-rr'n'tle IIoo'-sj uu.1 pll.o , from ( (O! and sawdust wore v. to she'tor : i ;!.' i Uol.Icu ':'(.. i breakage. Near every sawmill was a vat for tli" sawdust and it -v:is carted avav free by any ono who had any use lor it. In this era of Co use of by-pro-duot i wilnst I;.i:- a commercial value. Il is no longer given away, but is sold. Ono of tho recent uses of sawdust is its distillation, resulting in acetic acid, wood naphtha, wood alcohol and tar. Sawdust may also be burned in special furnaces or mixed with other material for fuel. Sawdust, when saturated with chemicals, can be effectively used In the manufacture of explosives, but It is more particularly in demand in paper making than for any other pur pose. Such a tiling as sawdust on tiie floor of a room as a substitute for a rug or carpet is now practically un known. Sawdust lias joined sand in this respect. Cotton felt nns been substituted for sawdust as a non-conductor of cold In winter. Gas can be made from saw dust. It Is also luted for briquettes, i. e.. blocks of compressed sawdust and wood chips burned for fuel. Even in tho protection of ghsswaro against breakage sawdust has been supersed ed by excelsior, sawdust being regard ed as too valuable for such use. Tall Montana Fell;. A singular rivalry has arisen be tween two Montana towns as to wbicli possesses tho tallest fatally. Libby, in Flntliead county, professes to have moro tall people than any town of its size on tho continent. Ten members af one family have a combined height of almost sixty feet. Tho father weighs 215 pounds and Is G feet 2 1-2 Indies tall. The mother weighs 225 pounds and is 5 feet 5 inches tall. Tho llrst son, G feet 2 1-2 inches tall, age 21 years; second son, G feet -1 Inches, ago 10 years. Tho head of this proud family is Herman Dock man. Red Lodge calls attention to the fact that in that city four members of ono family are taller than any four members of the Dockman family. XV. A. Talmnge Is G feet 4 1-2 inches tall; Earl Talmnge, age 18 years, is G feet S inches tall; Elmer Talmage, ago 19 yoars, is 6 feet 7 14 inches tall, and Nathan, tho youngest, who is only 12 yearn of age, measures 5 feet G Inches. Then tho average height of tho father and three sons will unques tionably compare with that of any oth er family in the entire country. Hel ona corrnsnondonce St. Paul Despatch.

The proportion of physicians to the general population is probably great er In New York city than anywhere else In tho country. In the United States, for example, taking the est! mr'ed population of the Census Du roatt for 1908 as a basis, there Is one licensed physician to every 709 per sons; In Now York State there is one to 072, and In New York city ono to only G,ri3. It has been estlninted that the phy sician In general practice must have a clientele of 750 portions, or 150 fam ilies, to support himself and his fam ily In comfort, so if this estimate Is ac( urate tho New York doctor Is short tin averago of 100 patients, and ninny of course nre further behind than that Kaiser Obeyed Scene Shifter. A story Is told In Derlln newspapers which places tho Kaiser in a some what curious light. Recently he visit ed n theatre and strolling behind the curtain became liberal of advice to the manager, actors and even scene shifters, who listened in awod silence. Presently the Emperor lighted a cigar, pulling as he tnlked. On both sides of him wore flimsy draperies and on tho floor hoaps of paper. Ono of the scene shifters stepped forward and pointed politely to a printed notice: "No smoking allow ed." For a moment the Kaiser Hush ed, then smiling, ho put out his cigar, remarking as he did so: "Thank you, friend, it would bo bad business If your Emperor taught you to disobey tho law." Berlbboncd Flowers. The use of ribbons with flowers has a grent Held and enhances the beau ty and valuo of tliem. A bunch or basket with an appropriate bow artis tically placed makes it worth as much again, if you nre not simply selling merchandise. Dut put the ribbon where It be longs, whore the eye suggests the need of something being tied. To put a red necktie on an araucaria Is as bad taste as chlffonlng an azalea with a lot of fussy stuff puffing out heio and there. It does not do tho azalea any good and wastes the rib bon. You can use some receptacle with the plant that offers an excuse to tlo on a bow of ribbon and you nt onco have tho satisfying effect on the eye. Curiosity Gratified.
