The German Tommy Atkins is well | known to be a hardy soldier, and this | to a great extent is due to the severity | of his training. When on the march he is loaded like a beast of burden, and the German war office is at pres ent considering how best they may lighten this load. They are beginning with the heavy calfskin knapsack, for which another of light waterproof canvas Is to bs substituted Of the German infantry recruit it is sald that he carries his house on his back. Besides the knapsack itselt and his rifie equipment and clothing, he carries cooking utensils, parts of » tent, an overcoat, 30 cartridges a lines suit, a quantity of underwear, two pair of boots, boot brushes and black: ing, metal a prayer book and small box for knickknacks tools, “Shoddy.” It is old wool redressed by scientifie and clean methods. It is a component of most of the woolen garments of to- day. The world does not grow enough wool to enable us to have a constant sup- ply of new woolen garments, except with the aid of shoddy. It is shoddy that has enabled the workingman to buy a new suit of clothes at the price of a week’s wage. In the olden days an a'l-woolen garment was so expensive wnat it had to fast its owner many years, unless he were a wealthy man, It is better hy- giene for a man to buy two new shoddy suits a year than to buy an all-wool gar- iment which must last him two years. ‘Most of the clothes we wear, in fact, contain an element of shoddy. and so far from being the worse for it, are tbe bet. ter.;—-Magazine of Commerce. In some respects one of the most re- markable war photpographs ever made was secured by a man named Meyer, a sorrespondent for a German illustrated newspaper during the war in South Africa, says Everybody's Magazine. Meyer was with the Boers, and one day Suring one of Buller’'s attacks along the Tugela he took a position on the firing line. The fire from the British batteries across the river was very heavy during / ‘he preliminary period of the assault, and shells literally rained on the low= ¥ Iying kopjes occupied by Botha’'s army. Meyer thought he saw a good oppor- tunity to secure a fine picture, and he jumped out, of his ‘““schanze” to snap it. fust then a big lyddite shell exploded within a few feet of him, killing him in- stantly. [I afterward secured his came era, which was comparatively uninjured. When the film it contained was devel- ped I discovered that Meyer had made s beautiful photograph of the huge shell which sauffed out his life. I sent a copy of the picture to bis relatives in Ger ;meanv There are about 200,000 doctors im the United States, or about one for every 254 people, says Leslie’s Monthly. "It has been approximately estimated that the average yearly income of these men is $750, or that the public in the country pays $150,000,000 annually for medical attendance, omitting entirely the money spent for patent medicines, which brings millions of dollars to manufacturers, or the amounts spent for doctors’ prescrip- tions or paid to quacks and commercial doctors. The preparation for the practice of medicine that gives a man a good stand- fmg in the profession, means an expense of, liberally speaking, $4,000 for four years in a reputable medical school, $1,000 for general expenses during two years’ hospital service, and perhaps ane other $1,000 for setting up in practice. A vear or two in Furope isalso a help. ee WEST HEMPFIELD John G. Musser is about after a spell of sickness. Ezra N. Musser sold a engine to Henry S. Musser.

Fallen Leaves Aid in Furnishing A® mosphere Nitrogen Which Fer~ tilizes the Earth, —— . Recent Investigations Indicate thal the chief source of the enrichment ul the soil, noted particularly in wooded lands, is not altogether due to a cone servation of the moisture and the ad. dition to the soil of needed elements by the decomposition of the fallen leaves, Of probably greater impor tance Is the fixation of avmospheri nitrogen by dead forest leaves when these rest on a moist substratum of #0ll. In effect this phenomenon Is similar to that which is produced by the tubercle growths on the roots o legumes and allied plant familles, A similar observation has been made In regard to the mountain pine, which if verified, will account for the hard ness of this tree and the ease witl which it maintains itself in soils thal contain comparatively few nutrients It has been found by the Danish Heather Improvement society, which Ie interested in planting trees on bam ren sandy stretches on the westerm coast of Jutland, that spruce and mountain pine, when planted togethe: In pairs, mutually help each other re thrive, the valuable nitrogen-fixing functions of the pine serving to pro- ride nourishment for both trees. It has been repeatedly observed that where such trees are planted in prox- imity on barren lands if the pine ia cut down while the spruce is still young the latter wlil aor else make a sickly growth. On the contrary, curiously enough, if the pine is not eut down until after ths spruce gets a good start the latter will make better ovrogress than if the pine had been al- lowed to live. NO TRAMPS IN GERMANY. Labor Conditions There Are Not Fa- vorabls to the Development of “Weary Willies.” To-day the lot of the laboring map fa Germany is in many respects bet ter than that of ours, says a writer in National Magazine. ‘The German state recognizes the right of every man te llve—we do not. When the German laborer becomes old or feeble the state pensions him honorably. In Germany the laboring man can ride on the elec~ tric cars for two cents—we pay five German cities have public baths, pub lic laundry establishments, big parks, free concerts and many other features which soften poverty, although they may not remove it. The corollary to this is that the eme peror permits no tramps to terrorize his highways.

Will Make Use of Magnificent Traveling Apartment Built for Leo XIII. The pope owns & sleeping car. It was constructed in 1868, when the line from Rome to Naples was opened, and will be shown at the Milan exhibition in 1905 to inaugurate the Simplon tun- nel. The car consists of three coms partments—a throné room, a compart went for the guard of honor and a Sedroom, says Home Notes. Thethrone room is richly furnished and has a enpola engraved with the papal arms and the twelve apostles. It is so arranged that the pope, whes seated on his throne, can be plainly seen by the crowds who might be exe pected to throng the stations for his blessing. As a matter of fact, the erowds do not assemble around the papal car, for it is never used. Whether Pope Pius X. will make use of it re. mains to be seen, but Leo XIII. kept up the traditions that the bishop of Roma was a prisoner In the vatican and never left it, though he was really as free 8s go whenever he would as the most tumble priest in the kingdom of Italy Trip Through Country Affected by Re bsllion Recalls Many Excit- ing Incidents.

CALIFORNIA TOMATO PLANTS Chree Months After Planting the Vines Climb to a Height of Twenty Feet. The largest tomato plants in the world are found in California, One grower has three plants which have reached a length of 30 feet. In three months from the time the seeds were planted, says What to Eat, they had climbed to the top of a 20- foot trellis. When they reached thls remarkable height they grew back- ward until they attained a length of 30 feet. They have no special care or culti- vation, and have had no protection from the weather; yet in spite of every disadvantage they kept on growing and fruiting in the most astonishing fashion. The trunks are one and a half inches in diameter, the foliage thick and lux- uriant. Enormous quantities of toma- toes have been picked from these three plants, and the fruit is of unusual size, possessing fine flavor. 60 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &C.
