•Che Sed:*.u Chair.
The sedan chair Is named after Se
dan, the town where it was first used.
The earliest mention of it in Englnnd
occurs in lCSl. Early in the following
century the Duke of Buckingham
caused much indignation by its use in
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to enr-
ty him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1023 three curiously wrought
Dedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their introduction Massinger pro
duced his play. “The Bondman,” and
in it he thus adverts to the Indies:
For ♦lieir pomp and care being borne
In ir.m/.’di "ii men's shoulders.
The ffifeiTiw h< itonlitless to Buck
ingham's si dun, which wus borne like
a palanquin.—"Bygone England.”
Favorably Strode.
“Papa, have—have you seen Harold
since you told him he was too poor to
think of—of mnrrying me?”
“Yes. 1 ran ncross him at the club
last evening. We got into conversa
tion, nnd he struck me—er”—
“Struck you! Oh, papa!”
“Struck me as quite an agreeable
young man. I understand his uncle
has left him $200,000.”—ICansns City
Journal.
What They Wanted—
To explain why his trip had proved
so poor, a commercial traveler once
•wrote a long account of how the
weather had affected business in the
territory in which he hod traveled. In
due time he received this reply from
his firm: “We get our weather reports
from Washing!oi'. Don’t send us any
mose. What we want is orders."
An Iron Kettle Snpport.
An article very handy to have In
butchering time, a stand for the iron
kettle used for heating water, is
sketched by un Iowa Homestead corre
spondent:
Take a piece of wagon tire and bend
It into a circle so that it will fit the
Not tile Kiml He Wanted.
“If you’re so hard up,” said the easy
mark, who was temporarily unable to
attend the accommodation asked,
“why don’t you borrow some nseiicy
from Titofist'/”
“Heavens, no!” exclaimed the other.
“Why, he always mepects to he paid

^Broomcorn In the United Staton.
Although broomeorn is produced lu-a
small way In a number of states of the
Union, the bulk of the commercial crop
is the product of three states—Ullrfils,
Kansas and Nebraska. Illinois pro
duces such a heavy proportion of th«
total that its output is of considerably
greater importance than that of all fb>)
rest of the country combined. Prac

STAND FOR AN IRON KETTLE,
kettle about half way up the side; then
rivet or weld the ends together and
fasten legs to this by rivets or weld
ing. The legs should be turned out at
the bottom so they won’t sink into the
ground. The height of the legs should
be about twelve inches.
I prefer riveting, ns it is so much
easier done nnd can he done on the
farm, while If the legs are welded on it
will have to be i i;r .■ i .v a good black
smith. With tills device a person can i
heat water and render ln»d wttfti the |
greatest convenience.
