Water on Battleship.
Bight thousand gallons of fresh wa
ter are used in a large battleship
daily. About two-thirds of this is taken
up by boilers, and the remainder is
used for drinking, washing, etc.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because It Is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be su
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs.,
•while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.

A Record in Trees.
The largest tree in the world Is to
be seen at Maseali, near the foot of
Mount Etna, and is called “The Chest
nut Tree of a Hundred Horses.” Its
name rose from the report that Queen
Jane of Aragon, with her principal no
bility, took refuge from a violent
6torm under its branches. The trunk

Japanese Never Conquered.
Speaking of the Japanese, Voltaire
said it was the only nation that had
never been conquered. In the thir
teenth century the Japs repulsed 107,
000 Mongolians in a naval warfare.
They fought with success in Korea
and China, and Dr. Bertillon says that
they are invincible on account of their
all-powerful Jiu-Jutsu.
Difference in Farming Methods.
The average gross returns per acre
from cultivated land in this country
is only $10.50 per acre, and from land
devoted to the growing of cereals but
$8.08 per acre. In Greet Britain the
Intensive system of farming has
brought the average gross returns up
to within the neighborhood of $30 per
acre.

Take Census With Beads.
The recent census of the natives in
the Transvaal was taken with beads.
Each headman was furnished with a

and twine on which to string them. A
big black bead represented an adult

grown single man, a big blue bead a
married woman, and a white bead a

A small yellow bead stood for a boy
and a small white bead for a girl.

TALK ON ADVERTISING
By C. W. Post to Publishers at Banquet at Battle Creek.
The sunshine that makes a business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lic favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is a good illus
tration of that law. It seems but a
short time ago when I put a few men
at work in the carriage house of the
barn you have seen to-day, where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than 9
years ago, was a new kind of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty of it. We knew we had a good
Pure Food Factories that Make Postum and Crape-Nuts.
apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree into a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
It needed sunshine and the kind of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. It is an abso
lute certainty that without the pub
licity thus given—in other words, the
sunshine—the business never would
have developed.
, You have seen to-day factory build
ings—thirteen or fourteen in number
—covering many acres of ground, em
ploying handreds of workpeople, pro
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four millto® packages per month,
which goes to every civilized eountry
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise la less than t years old. We
have found it necessary, Inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the eunshlne
day in and day out, month in and
month out, the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately a million
dollars a year for advertising, for ex
perience teaches that if you mature
the tree under strong sunshine, and
bring it up to a thrifty and healthful
state where it produces profitable ap
ples, you can not withdraw that sun
shine else the tree will gradually die.

HOW INDIANS CATCH FISH
Finny Prey First Put to Sleep With
“Devil’s Shoestring.”
On the 1st of July the Indians will
have near Sonora a big fish killing,
which is considered great sport by
them. Already a supply of “devil’s
shoestring” is being gathered for this
purpose. This is the root of a certain
bush, and owing to the fact that these
roots go so deep, in so many direc
tions, it is considered quite a task to
get sufficient for use at a fish shoot.
On this particular occasion it is
said that 2,500 bundles of “devil's
shoestring” will be used. The Indians
select a portion or hole of water in
the river, and some of them will beat
up this root and throw it in the water.
This is repeated by another party of
Indians a considerable distance from
the first party, and the water be
comes impregnated with the juice,
and the effect on whatever fish may
be in this particular place is marvel
ous. They become sick and float
on the surface of the water, and then
the shooting begins. The Indians
shoot them with bows and arrows and
spear them. After a sufficient quan
tity of fish have been gathered in,
they repair to the hills and banks.
The cleaning is done by the squaws,
and after they are cooked the feast
begins. While the fish are sickened
and stunned by the juices from the
root, the meat is not affected.—Kan
sas City Journal.
THE ORIGIN OF SURNAMES.
They Were First Used in Normandy
Before the Conquest.
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyri
ans, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had surname* and in the earliest ;
period of their history the same may
be said of the Romans, says the Wav- j
erly Magazine. In course of time, !
however, every Roman citizen had
three names—the praenomen, or per
sonal name; the nomen. or name of
the gens or clan, and the cognomen,
or family name, as Publius Corelius
Scipio. Conquerors were occasionally
complimented by the addition of a
fourth name, or agnomen, commemor
ative of their conquest, as Publius
Cornelius Scipio Africanu.s.
It is impossible to state with any
degree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be
came general. It has been stated that
the practice of surnames began in
Normandy and extended to England
after the Norman conquest, but a
document in the Cottonian manuscript
quoted in Turner’s “History of the
Anglo-Saxons” contains reference to
Hwita Hatte, a keeper of bees in
Hathfelda; to Tate Hatte. his daugh
ter. mother of Wulsige the shooter,
and Lulle Hatte, sister of Wulsige.
The date of these records of the
Hattes is not to be ascertained, but
they were certainly written before the
year 1066. So far as antiquarians have
been able to discover Hatte is the
first surname whose existence can be
traced in England. It is not improb
able that the founder of the Hatte
family was so called because of some
unusual or noticeable headgear that
he was in the habit of wearing.
Ballad of Indolence.
Some people, like the bee, we find
Will Toil all day with patient skill;
Or. with the industrious ant in mind,
Will labor up the steepest hill.
Some endlessly will grind a mill
Or run a factory or steamer:
Others a fallow field will till—
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.
Some may be of a studious mind.
And all night long, till morning chill.
At ponderous, musty tomes they'll grind
T'ntil from overwork they're ill;
They'll analyze a fish's gill.
Or learn the habits of the lemur,
Or trace the platypus' bill—
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.
Some think that in their souls enshrined
Fair genius sits, with throb and thrill.
O'er myriad pages closely lined.
All feverishly they push a quill.
I'd rather hear the woodbird's trill
Or watch a lazy, floating streamer:
Of all fair things, had I my will,
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.
(L.’ Envoi.)
Satan. I fear no mischief still.
I fold my hands without a tremor;
I've no ambitions to fulfill.
I'd rather be an idle dreamer.

Mistake of Word, Not Spirit.
That Mme. Schumann-Heink is not
always able to express herself in Eng
lish as she can in song is illustrated
by the following little story that is
circulated at her expense: It seems
that among her ffiends she has the
reputation for remarkable tact and
adaptability. Not long ago, in conver
sation with an intensely patriotic
American, the talk quite naturally
turned upon the cubject of the Ameri
can flag.
“0£,” said the singer, turning her
rapturous gaze full upon her compan
ion, “I do lov? your flag. Why. in my
home in Germany we do hiss it on our
house every Fourth of July;” and it
was not until later that she learned
from an obliging friend that the word
"hiss” was not the same as “hoist” in
America.
Of Interest to Peach Growers.
A bulletin is in course of prepara
tion at the Department of Agriculture,
it ts said, describing a method of ex
un-mmating a peach tree parasite
known as “lilil® pe«,rh.'’ The reason
this pest was s? named is because a
tree bearing large fruit when attacked
by these imrasi-er ts affected by the
iirease commonly Vinw» among peach
growers of western Maryland as the
“go back,” and thereafter produces a
small and bitter peach, instead of the
former large and luscious product.
The Agricultural Department experts
have been experimenting with this
matter for ten years, it is stated.
Mr. Morton B. T.raite, chief of the di
vision of orchard fruits, reports that
the parasite can be exterminated by
catting out of the orchard every tree
affected by the “little peach.”

Nature's Order.
Men love at first and most warmly;
women love last and longest. This is
natural enough, for Nature makes wo
men to be won, and men to win.
Every housekeeper snould know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He- knows that Defiance 8tarch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
Long Lives.
A contemporary has discovered that
no person who ever deliberately set
out to live 100 years accomplished the
feat. What of it? A great many men
and women who have deliberately set
out to live honorable and useful lives
have liven ten centuries in point ef
usefulness to the world.—Minneapolis

Independence Is Expensive.
The people of Jersey, Channel Isl

the British government withdrew the
regiment always hitherto stationed on
the island. The islanders are out at
least $350,000 a year thereby, and are
inclined to regret their independent
attitude.
Liquefies Illuminating Gas.
A German chemist named Blau has

Some thoughtful man might say that
if what you manufacture has merit,
once you get a trade established peo
ple will continue to purchase, even if
the advertising is stopped, but to act
on that conclusion would be a fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap
ples, and if you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not a shingle nail but a forty penny
spike. Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary un
aavertised thing. It should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
a foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per
sons ignorant enough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into
a success. It cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critical!} examine
any well known and advertised article
that has beer years on the market and
it will be found to possess exceptional
merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but a necvssary evil, and that it
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, so that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make a little money by inserting pub
lic announcements, a paper run that
way to day would fail,
j The most successful exponents of
the new plan of doing business with
ink and paper are using every possi
ble means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
It is safe to say that thousands of
women read the newspaper—not the
telegraphic page, but the pages con
taining announcements of bargains in
stockings, skirts, hats, gloves, pianos,
furniture, food for the table, etc.
You have been Invited to visit Bat
tle Creek for the purpose of viewing
one of the most unique advertising
buildings in the world, also to loon
over a large business built up. sus
tained, nourished and kept active by
sunshine, and, at the same time, have
an opportunity to see one of the most
thrifty, active and prosperous toivni
of its size in the world, built up larg9
ly by the same kind of suhshine.
