in the last three years, on a capital stock of 830,843,480, the total net profit earned was $2,492,303, or a shade The \u201cdemon\u201d is laughing on the wrong side of his mouth, Over half the total profit noted above was made in the past year, during which time the Distillers\u2019 Security's Corporation, through a subsidiary, has been furnishing enormous quantities of denaturated alcohol to England and France The money in whiskey seems to be in making saw headlines such as these: The annual report of the con- PECULIAR TRAIN SERVICE.Train service on this end of the Boston & Maine Railroad this summer has been inferior to the service of the last few years, but some improvement has been made since the schedule wae adopted ip June.Then the regular morning train did not stop at Smith\u2019s Mills, Boynton and Massa- wippi; then the C.P.R.and G.T.R.Montreal trains were echeduled to leave Sherbrooke at the same time the Boston & Main train was due to arrive there, with the result that transfer was almost impossible.Since there was no connection via Newport, one might naturally think the | achedules were planned to exasperate rather than to accomodate the public.For some time the northbound morning train has been stopping at all P.R.and G.T.R.has been secured at Sherbrooke.Ex-Mayor H.C.Jenkins of Beebe was a factor in securing the change.But improvement was really brought about through the efforts of Ex-Governor G.H.Prouty of Newport, who is a director of the Boston & Maine.One morning Mr.Prouty started for Magog and got held up in Sherbrooke because the trains did not connect.If more railroad officials could be induced to take an occasional ride on their own lines the service would be better.This summer there has been no connection on the 8.and D.L.branch with the northbound local train in the morning.THE URSULINE CONVENT.The Ursuline Convent will re-open on Tuesday, Sept.7th, for the boarding attendance, and on Wednesday for the town students.To the

Ver- reault and Bernadette Morin, the Academic; Misses Rose Hyland and M.Rose Therrien, the Elementary.Thirteen otbers receive diplomas in music from the Dominion College of Music: Laureate, Misses

Langlois; Intermediate: Miss Thérèse Bégin; the Elementary : Misses Beatrice Courcheene and Frances Daly.RURAL MAIL ROUTES.A new rural mail route is being established in Stanstead township.Starting at Beebe Junction, the route will be via Lineboro, Graniteville, Cedarville and the Lake Shore road to the Narrows schoolhouse returning via Marlington, Graniteville and Glines Corner.The post-offices at Lineboro and Marlington are being abolished.The office at Graniteville will be retained, for the present at least.The quarries there give rise to considerable important business and it would be a pity in some respects at least to see the place wiped off the postal map.The roral routes area great convenience to many people, but through them numerous communities are losing their identity altogether.Take, for instance, the prosperous town of Holland, Vermont, where not a single post office is left, the town existing for municipal purposes only.When these communities are removed from the postal directory they are also wiped out of business and financial directories, so that the loss is not altogether \u2018\u2018sentimental.\u201d In spite of all this it has to be admitted that the rural routes are a great convenience to most of the people served by them.MASSAWIPPI.Mr.Spencer of Dixville held services here Sunday, and gave a very interesting discourse, his subject being \u201cTemperance.\u201d His illustrations, statistics and arguments were strong and convincing, and left a deep impression.He handled an \u2018old subject\u2019 in a \u2018new way.\u201d We hope to be

Brand\u2014Dept.of Agriculture.Peaches and Plums are both so good this year that there is every inducement for the housewife to \u2018put down' a liberal supply: The Canadian Clubs and Red Cross Sqeietien are asking for contributions of caoned or preserved\u2014n t jammed fruit, for our soldiers in France.People who wish to \u2018\u2019do their bit\u201d should communicate with the nearest

Stowe Friday, was a member of the party, and others were Selectmen McGibbon, Lovejoy, and Benson, and Road Commissioner W.W.Ayer\u2019s.They were met by a party of 29 people from Oambridge.The object of the excursion was to consider the practicability of making an automobile road through the notch.The governor was of the opinion that it would be advisable to construct a temporary road at first and gradually convert il into a permanent road by state aid.Several of the automobiles from Stowe and Burlington were driven as far as the Notch house.The young men at the Barnes camp gave the party lunch.Preserving Wild Animals.\u201cThe time is coming yhen, instead of putting a bounty on Vermont's few remaining wild animals, they will be as carefully preserved as the bears in Yellowstone park.\u201d\u2019\u2014Ruatland Herald.A few years ago, when the bounty on bears was up for discussion, a native Vermonter who owns one of the finest Vermont estates remarked that the policy of exterminating bears was of doubtful value.He pointed out that the spirit of adventure which is patoral in nearly all of us, made the poseibility of encountering a bear pleasurable rather than repulsive.Who can tell but what the great majority of people regard Vermont as more attractive because of the chance that a bear may now and then be seen in the Vermont foreets?This gentleman believed that the bears were à Vermont asset rather than a liability and he thought the state might better give the bounty to the Vermont boy who had seen a bear and let it go unmolested rather than to the guoner who had scored the more selfish victory of killing the bear.There is something in this.Think it over.\u2014 Windsor Journal.\u201cTanks\u201d not Heroes in Kansas.Why isit?It a railway

A CITY.Duocazel\u2019s Method Was Unique, but Ît Pacified Madrid.It was in the year 1808, after a bat tle in the Spanish revolution of that year, and the streets of Madrid were filled with angry crowds that were bent on destroying everything and every one.Suddenly an unknown man appeared at the city ball \u201cGive me a band of musicians,\u201d he said, \u201cand before nightfall I shall control all Madrid.\u201d He must have been a man of rare personality to have been able to per suade tbe authorities in that dark hour to give him anything.But he got the musicians and went out with them.to wander through the city.While they played he sang\u2014pop- ular street songs or some old national alr.When these bored the listeners he mounted old boxes and told funny tales and got the populace amused and laughing.By nightfall peace reigned in the city, and the mob broke up and went home to bed.The man's name was Felipe Ducazel, aud he was only twen- ty-two years old when he cleverly achieved this result.We are told a deal about herole things in saving countries by long, terrible rides at night or by the saeri- fice of oneself by dying in somebody's stead, but few of us

DEPENDABLE GOODS IN A DEPENDABLE WAY.WILLIAM M.PIKE & SON Quebec WHAT TO RAISE.Farmers should raise the things to which thelr farms.their mar kets and themselves are adapted.They would better study how to raise the most and best of these things than to scatter their energies over u great variety of products merely to keep from buying them.The men who follow the right policy usually have cash enough te get \u2018what they need from other farmers who can produce it cheapest.There was a time when farmers were compelled to grow or make about everything they needed, but that day has long gone by.It is good business to raise things\u2014but the right things.The scatteration plan involves neglect of some of these things without a corresponding gain in raising others.\u2014National Stock- man and Farmer, 2555403004555 ALFALFA AS HOG FOOD.Comparative Returns When Sold as Hay and When Grazed by Hogs.The Arizona experiment station fig ures the comparative return when al falfa 1s sold as hay and when grased by hogs.These figures represent local prices in Arizona: The net annual returns per acre of alfsifa, yielding six tous, when sold as hay were not over $10.The net returns for a similar acré of alfalfa when grazed off by twelve hogs were $47.23.These hogs were fod a supplemental ration of grain, but the value of this \u2018was determined and deducted.The fertilizing ingredients in a ton of barnyard manure are worth $2.50, calculated according to price of commercial fertilizers.On this basis the value of the hog manure as dropped over the fleld must be at least $3 per ton.Figuring that 85/per cent of the six tons of alfalfa was returned as manure to the soll, there were then five tons of manure, worth $3 per ton, or $15.This added to $47.23 would be $62.23, representimg the net gain per acre of alfalfa when grazed off by twelve hogs, as against $10, which is the net gain per acre when the alfalfa is cured and sold as baled hay.In this case the net price for alfalfa hay was only $8 per ton, and, of course, the hogs paid more than that for it.There might easily be another situation where the reverse of thie would be true.There are situations in the eastern states where alfalfa hay will bring $18 or more per ton, while small droves of hogs would not pay.In such cases it might pay better to sell the hay and use chemicals to keep up the fertility.Fruit Jar Opener.Old scissors make good fruit jar openers, Grind the broken ends to make them concave, so they will fit the side of the jar top when the scissors are open.Then bore holes near the end of each ground prong, and in the holes insert a stout piece of wire .that ls just long enough to reach around the jar top when the scissors are held open.Fasten the wire securely.By pressing the shears together the wire will take a death grip on the jar cover and it will be easily removed.The same device will serew the tops on the jars.\u2014Missouri Valley Farmer.If you have not done so already, by all means go over every colony and clip the wings of every laying queen, as this will enable you to hive auto matically every swarm that may come out, and If properly done it in no sense injures the queen.Bent manicure scissors are the best instrument for this purpose.If the tops of the combs of the brood nests are capped with nice white wax, indicating that new honey has been gathered, then place the surplus supers on without further delay.And where extracted honey is to be secured don't forget to put the queen's excluding boards between the brood nest and the extracting body, for the presence of unsealed brood in the extracting frames is annoying, to say the least.Keep the grass and weeds away from the hives so that the returning heavily aden bees may not have to wend thelr Way through a mass of weeds in order to reach their hives and store thelr hard earned sweets.Every hive should rest upon a stand of some sort, and a platform of con- Grete upon the ground and about three feet square is both inexpensive and effective.__ Lo The following is from the \u201cSogial\u201d column of a well known Manchester, N.H., paper of a recent date: BOCIAL, .A mid-summer wedding took place at The Weirs Monday, August 38rd at high noon, which will be of especial interest to Manchester friends as well 88 those from a number of other cities on account of the general popularity of the contracting couple, who were Mies Marion Caroline Avery, daughter of Mr, and Mrs.John 8.Avery, of 504 Merrimack 8t., and Owen Wendall Bullock, son of Alvah Bullock, superintendent of the Stark mille.The ceremony took place at the summer bungalow of the bride's parents at The Weire, and was performed by Rev.Mr.Ravenelaff.The bride wore a8 becoming traveling suit of blue gabardine with velvet hat to match.8he was attended by Miss Helen Whelpley of thiscity as maid of honor, who wore a blue taffeta suit.The bride and maid of honor carried rofusions of white asters.A novel eature of the ceremony war that it was held on the veranda which was charmingly decorated for the occa- {slon with foliage and goldenrod, the national flower.The best man wae Clarence Bullock of Arctic, R.I., brother of the bridegroom.To the maid of honor the bride presented an amethyst pendant, and the best man received from the bridegroom & masonic ring.The bridegroom presented the bride with a braclet watch.Immediately following the marriage in which the bride was given away by her father, John 8.Avery, an informal reception was held and a collation was served by a caterer from Laconia, Mr.and Mrs.Bullock leaving within a short time for a honeymoon trip the itinerary of which was not disclosed.They were given a rousing eend-off at the station and after thelr trip will reside in Manchester.Friends were present from Canada, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.The wedding gifts were costly and beautiful, consisting of cut glass, linen and several checke were also.received.The bride is extremely popular among ten young people of Manchester, having graduated from Manchester high school after which she attended the National Schonl of Arts and Sciences at Washington, D.C., from which she was recently graduated with high honors.Mr.Bullock is equally as popular, and they are receiving the congratulations and Rood wishes from their hoste of friends.DEMICK\u2019'S MILLS, VT.Mrs.L.R.Tabor is visiting friends in Morgan.Mr.and Mrs.J.D.Ross were in Newport last Saturday.Quite a number of our people took in the fair at Ayer\u2019s

a Vermont covered bridge and its necessary replacement by a modern steel structure.This inevitable change must be deplored by lovers of a purely characteristic Vermont institution.Vermont covered bridges are a constant wonder to observers who have any love for fine timber, good workmanship and native ingenuity.Built mostly of heavy lattice work, fastened snugly together with hand-made, oak pins, roofed in, shingled and sided, some of these bridges have stood for a century, with such repairs as new weather-boards, shingles and worn floors have called for.Lovers of town history might tell us who designed those singularly efficient and picturesque structures, who shaped the oak pegs, who cut the shingles and probably who forged the nails.Certainly their work indicates the finished craftsman, and humble fame is no more than their just desert.As features of the landecape, covered bridges in Vermont and New England are distinctly sui generis.They are probably original with our sturdy pioneers and home-trained engineers.They bridge many a rockbound, tree-shaded, beautiful, brawling stream with a weathered span that has delighted artists and inspired poets.Before they pass, every lover of quaint, rugged Vermont should photograph these bridges and file the prints - With his treasures of nature and art.It will only be a few years when the steel truss, ugly, ungainly, and anga- lar, must replace the covered bridge and its memory should not paes.Not only would such pictures be lasting records of beauty but a per manent tribute to the skill and energy of our foretathers.\u2014Rutland Herald.A considerable number of these bridges are to be found in the southern portion of the Province of Quebec, bordering on the state of Vermont, but that is not proving that they are not of Vermont conception.The pioneers of this section came from New England and brought New England ideas with them.Then in many cases their sons and grandsons went to Vermont to \u2018\u2018learn trades\u2019 and some of them returned.But as a matter of fact covered bridges have been so common hereabouts that they come to be regarded with a sort of contempt, especially in villages where instead of being counted graceful and picturesque, they were considered dark, dirty and gloomy.This was probably owing to lack of care more than to any other reason.From the historian\u2019s viewpoint the covered brides are of much interest, and it is to the credit of many citizens of this community that expressions of regret were heard when the old \u201cLine\u201d bridge, with its wonderful hand-sawed tamarac timbers, was purposely demolished.That many a pioneer \u2018\u2018knew not how well he builded\u201d may doubtless be said with truth concerning those who designed and made the old covered highway bridges.Their plans were adopted for earlier railroad bridges, some of which are doing good service today.THE JOURNAL'S FRIENDS.Mr.W.W.Wilson, Loudon, N.B.,

Historical Society.The annual meeting of the Orleans County Historical Society was beld at Brownington Village, Friday, August 27th.There was a large gathering of people from all parts of the county, probably.from 400 to 500.A pienic lunch was served on the lawn about the \u201cOld Stone Building\u2019 which was formerly the dormitory of the Twilight or Brownington Academy.This historical old landmark was built prior to 1830, the school baving been organized in 1822, and incorporated as \u2018the Orleans county gramuwar school; its first term opened in the fall ot 1828, with Rev.James Woodward, principal.The \u2018\u2018Old Stone Building\u201d was built of band-quarried granite from the immediate viclnity.It is a four-story structure, and must bave been erected of its students in chalk, crayon and pencil on its walls, that the beginnings in this bumble old school were in many caees broadening out into a rich fruitage today, and to the student of history, the illuminating touch of the teaching of the old days in the school, of which this building was the domes tic center, possesses a inoet interesting field of study There are many things in our villages to direct attention to tbe fact just expressed: Dr.H.P.Stockwell tells us that his grandfather, L.A, Goodhue, when a boy, walked from Danville, Quebec, to Brownington, doing chores for his bed and board while he attended this school.Col.H.8.Haskell\u2019s mother (nee Martha M.Stewart,) was a student at this academy, and there are many families in the town of Derby as well as in Stanstead, by an experienced mechanic, as its walls and the whole exterior are in very good condition.The roof line is not at all objectionable, the sub-root above the purlines giving a pleasing effect, and the distribution of windows insures a well-lighted interior.The arrangement of rooms, on all the floors, fails to violate present-day practice.Each of the bedrooms has a small open fire-place which seems unique in there days of central heating plante, and the almost prohibitive price of wood.The doors were hung with hand forged hinges and thumb iatobes, and the front door was of an un-pameable Colonial pattern, the hinges being an ornate pattern in band forging.The forged rail brace on this door is a device of a century or more ago.} The interior needs repair and is unoccupied, but it has great possibilities.It occurred to ns that a man and hie wife with a gift for entertaining could make a success of turning this building into an ino to be open from May until the middle of October; the \u2018Old Stone House,\u201d its location, good beds and plain, wholesome food would be something to conjure with.In one of the rooms there was a spinning wheel that we longed to hear \u2018\u2018sing.\u201d The location of this unique old house, in the center of the highest eleva:ed village in the county, and not far from the geographical center, where from its windows the whole 360 degrees of the circle, an unbroken range of blue mountaine, are visible, and all the enclosed area of unparalleled beauty, would seennto make the project of the historical society, to purchase the building and grounds and fit them up ae the historical center of the county, a most commendable one.The thought came to us as We wandered tbrough the corridors and rooms of this gray old building, so near its centennial, aud read the autographs that are enjoying the fruits of the | people gathering ou the lawn in front training at Browniugton as a pioneer of tbe Congregational Church, with in the educational work of the section, One of the interesting features of the day was the presence at the maet- ing of six women wbo were students in an early day at thie institution: Mrs.O.A.Parlin of West Charleston, Mrs.O.H.Austin of Orleaps, Mrs.Ellen Ferrin of Brownington, Mre.Abbie Whipple of Oraftsbury, Mrs.Susan Seavy of Glover and Mrs.E.Paddleford of Burke.The preparations for the picnic made for cheer and good fellowehip.A kettle was hung in the open, into which contributions of coffee were poured without stint, and when brewed was served to all comers and pronounced the best, The program followed the refreshment hour, the Hon.Frederick W.Baldwin, president, in the chair; Mr.Wallace H.Gilpin, secretary-treasurer; Hon.W.8.Robbins, vice-president, and other promibent citizens of the county on the steps which served as a platform.Mr.Baldwin read an address of the late Hon.E.A.Stewart of Newport, which was delivered at an anaual meeting of the society about thirty years ago.The principal address of the day was given by the Hon.Porter H.Dale of Island Pond, Vt., member of Congress from the second district, upon the original foundations and the significance of such as were laid by the pioneers of Orleans county.The beautiful day, the place and the purpose made the meeting a memor- able one in the history of the society.ITEMS OF INTEREST.The requisition by the Cerman government of all cotton in the country, and the order that textile factories shall work exclusively for the army, bas created consternation in the dressmaking and clothing trades.To many firme it means ruin.Italy has declared war against Turkey, alleging flagrant violations of the rights, interests and even liberties of Italian citizens in the Ottoman Empire, notwithstanding the most energetic protestations on this subject, presented by the Italian Ambassador at Constantinople.Almost unbelievable details of Turkish massacres of Armenians in Bitlis have reached Petrograd.In one village a thousand men, women and chiMren are reported to have been locked in a wooden building and burned to death.In anotber large village only thirty-six persons escaped massacre.In still another instance it is asserted that several score of men and women were tied together by chains and thrown into Lake Van.The Kaiser with a brilliant suite entered the burning town of Nova Georglevek on Auguet 22nd on its evacuation by the Russians.Prior to his entrance be reviewed in parade part of the troope which took tbe fortress in an 80-day siege.The Emperor witnessed the parade from the crest of the Nova Georgievsk forts, amid cannon and barbed wire entanglements.He expressed gratitude to God, who, he said, had helped the troops and would furthér help them, and thanked the wen for their accomplishment.The Executive Committe of the National Liberal party met in the German Reichstag last week, and adopted resolutions calling for the extension of German frontiers as the result of the war, the following de- claartion being made: \u2018The outcome of the present war can only bea peace which, by expanding our frontiers east, west and overseas, will protect us militarily, politically and economically against new attacke and compensate us for the enormous sacrifices which the German nation already has made and is determined to continue until a victorious conclusion.\u2019 There are said to be some in Germany, however, and among them possibly the Kaiser, Imperial OChancellor and Foreign Minister, who are opposed to these annexations, especially of Belgium.A memorial signed by eighty- two eminent personages, among them, Prof.Delbrueck, Prof.Von Harnack, and Prince Von Hatsteldt, has been sent to the Imperial Ohancellor protesting against annexation agitation.ITEMS OF INTEREST.Japan bas decided to help Russia by manufacturing ammunition for her.Harvesting is general throughout the Canadian West, the supply of labor being adequate.Lieut.Gen.Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, was knighted on

Government proposes to initiate measures to relieve depression which might temporarily disturb the cotton market because of the contraband order.The Maritime Board of Trade, meeting in Summerside, P.E.I, last week apanimously passed a resolution in favor of sending A memorial to the Dominion Government with a view to overtures being made to Newfoundland to join the Canadian Contedera- tion.A great storm, lasting two daye\u2014 August 17th and 18th\u2014devastated the Texas Gulf Coast, doing immense damage and resulting in considerable loss of lite, but Galveston fortunately suffered less than was feared owing to the immense seawall which was erected after the catastrophe of some years ago.The storm extended northward as far as Missouri and Illi- pols, causing floods, and great damage in many places.The Norwegians are bitter and indignant over the latest of many outrages to which they have been subjected by the German submarine pi- rates\u2014the halting of the mail steamer \u2018Haakon VII,\u2019 and the seizure of the mails on board.The ship was bound from Bergen to England.The Poast- master-General reports that the commander of the submarine ordered the jettisioning of all printed matter and packages destined for England, France, Italy, or other countries hostile to Germany.Ail letters and remittance money are said to have been taken aboard the submarine.The press insists that the injury inflicted on England by seizing the mails is immaterial compared with the damage done to Norway.The theft of neutrsl mails is not decent warfare il says.It is said that the pirates are watching |bed every inlet to the important ports of Norway.ITEMS OF INTEREST.Manitoba Social Service workers, asked by the Government to draft a referendum prohibition bill, reported a Javor of the Hugh Jobn Macdonald The American steamship \u2018Dacia,\u2019 recently condemned by a French Prize Court owing to her transfer from German to American registry after the outbreak of the

bearing well matured fruit, was brought to the JOURNal Monday by Mrs.George Caldwell of Dufterein Avenue, Monday.This phenomeuon may have been caused by late spring frost which checked the forming of

Public.Another chapter in tbe Manitoba Parliament buildings scandal wae reached Tuesday afternoon, when four ministers of the late Government, 8ir Rodmond Robin, premier; Dr.W.H.Montague, minister of public works; James Howden, attorney- general, and George R.Coldwell, minister of education, submitted themeelves to the authorities at the city police station.Warrants had been issued for the arrest of the men, but as they came forward voluntarily the writs were not served.All of the formalities of bail and bond signing were conducted behind closed doors in Deputy Chief of Police Newton\u2019s office, and extreme secrecy, was observed in connection with the whole procedure.They were released on $50,000 bail each, $25,000 being personal security.For Sir Rodmond, Aime Benard, present leader of the Conservative party in the Legislature, and D.E.Sprague, ex-chief license commissioner, were bondemen for the other $25,000; for Dr.Montague, W H.Cross and J.W.Montague; for Mr.-Howden, George Hamilton of Neepawa and Stephen B.Stonehouse, and for Mr.Coldwell, Alex.Reid and Andrew Simpson.The above information was contained in a press despatch from Winnipeg dated the 31st ult.The ex-ministers were to appear in the city police court yesterday morning to answer the charge of conspiring to defraud the public.More charges will likely follow according to R- A.Bonnar, K.C., who is

to the Housewife's Wardrobe\u2014 Treatment of Shoes That Are Spotted by Water.Dress aprons are useful additions to the wardrobe of the woman, who does her own housework, remarks the New York Times.These are geen at thelr best when colored linens are used.The tans, green, blue, old red and brown look well with a narrow band of_contrasting color or tiny piping of plain white linen bordering neck and armholes.The same careful woman protects her hair from dust while busy about the home by wearing a dainty cap made of white mull and lace over a wire frame.This frame is turban shape, and is economical inasmuch as the wire frame protects the colf- fure\u201c from disarrangement.For the housewife who thinks In advance this is the time to purchase really excellent halt silk hose at the surprisingly low figure of 35 cents a pair.These were shown at one of the large downtown stores in black, tan and many of the newer shades.An inventive young woman recently purchased a dozen pairs of these hose ~\u2014which were plain.She then embroidered on them small delicate designs of polka dots, tiny rosebuds, and even a pattern of tiny clover blossoms done in French knots with silk of the same shade as the stockings.If gloves or shoes of any color but black have become spotted by water and are allowed to dry there is no hope for them.They are irreparably ruined.But if, while they are still damp, they are kept on hands or feet and rubbed with a damp cloth, the spots will disappear.Then brush briskly with a dry soft woolen cloth.A young business woman manages a dainty conception in collars and cuffs over her blue serge office frock by a novel use of narrow hemstitched or embroidered edge handkerchiefs.Two handkerchiefs made a set.One la folded cornerwise and cut in half.These pleces, with the cut edge hemmed, are the cuffs.The second handkerchief is also cut in half and one half hollowed out to fit the neck.The remaining half is again cut In two parts and folded over the bodice fn the form of revers.These sets are \u2018inexpensive and give an attractive touch to the office dress.EVENING GOWN Model by Wingrove, Paris, Shows the Apron Tunic of White Taffeta, With Tight 8kirt of Draped Taffeta.A Band of the Taffeta Takes the Place of the Sleeve.Richly Billowing Breadths.The manufacturers appear to have decided that as women will not be tempted during war time by fantasy or elaboration, their plain gowns shall be of sumptuously dignified fabrics.One sees billowy breadths of satin in the deep, satisfying blues of a pre- * Raphaelite picture, silky gabardines of fancy brown, and deep, dull mul berry and plum shades.Separate Coats, Separate coats are receiving a great deal of attention; motor coats continue to be full length or seven-eighths.Some of the newer coats are of uneven length.SEEMS POOR ECONOMY ROUNDABOUT WAY OF KEEPING .FIRE HOUSES CLEAN.Story Told by Writer in The Publis, Whether the Real Thing or Not, May Possibly illustrate a Sad Truth.About two months ago I happened to sit down beside a pleasant-faced old fellow in the smoking car of a träin pulling out of Philadelphia.I wanted to smoke, and og discovering that 1 had no matches, I turned to my seat mate and asked if he could spare me one.- \u201cCertainly,\u201d sald he, \u201cthat is one thing I can get all I want for noth- Seeing that he was inclined to talk, 1 humored him by asking:, \u201cHow's that?\u201d \u201cWhy, you see,\u201d be replied, \u201cI work for the city, in the fire department, and we can get all we want of anything like that.Just turn in a requi- gition for them and along they come.But there i8 one thing we can\u2019t get all we want of, though.\u201d \u201cWhat's that?\" \u201cBrooms.We can't get a broom.We can requisition as much as we like, but we can't secure a single broom.\u201d \u201cHow's that?\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t know, but we can\u2019t get one.\u201d \u201cHow do you keep the place clean, then?1 always thought they were very particular in the fire department to have everything splck and span.\u201d \u201cThat's it,\u201d said he, nudging me in the ribs, \u201cthat's it! How do we keep it clean?Must be clean for Inspection.Know what we do?I'll tell you! We use blankets.Yes, we take blank- ots, tear \u2018em up into strips and make mops out of \u2018em and keep the place as neat as you please! You see we can get all the blankets we want, but we can't get a broom.So we take turns requisitioning blankets.\u201d \u201cBut the blankets must cost a lot more than brooms would.\u201d \u201cSure.Blankets must stand the city at least a dollar and a quarter each, while the best brooms bought in large quantities would not cost over twen- ty-five cents apiece.And one broom would last longer than half a dozen blankets.But we can't help it.Must keep the fire house clean for inspection or would all get fired.No matter how often we requisition brooms there isn\u2019t one forthcoming, while we ean get all the blankets we want, and no questions asked.\u201d \u201cSeems funy.How is it, do you suppose?\u201d \u201cOnly reason I can give is that the new administration is short of funds.Possibly somebody in a former administration got some graft for laying in a large stock of blankets and got no brooms.But it costs somebody something in the long run.Fierce, isn\u2019t 1t?*\u2014W.P., Jr, in The Public.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Golf on a Battlefield.Golfers of the Mexico Country club at Mexico City who were recently barred from their games for twe weeks becuuse the Carranza and Zapata forces were using the links for a battleground, had an unusual experience when, on the day after the retreat of the soldiers they resumed play.Notwithstanding that the links had been torn up by shells, all went well with the game until the drive-off from the seventh tee had been followed up to the green.It was then that the man who had the best lle waved to his companions excitedly to hurry on up.They thought that he had holed out with his midiron, but found that his discomposure was caused by the fact that he could not use his putter.Between his ball and the cup lay the body of a revolutionist, who had been killed in an exchange of shots the day before.Co-operation In Russia,\u2019 Even today millions of the Russian peasants are not only too poor to employ any but the simplest instruments of agriculture, but the smallness of their acres makes the machinery we are accustomed to out of the question.On the other hand, there are large estates with the finest modern machinery, while the peasant proprietor is gradually overcoming the difficulty by co-operative buying.Six million households were associated with co-operative associations in 1911, and 310 out of the 370 zem- stvos were last year engaged in the sale of agricultural machiñery.Long years of experience in the semicommunal dealings of the \u201cmir\u201d have trained the Russian peasants in the qualities necessary for co-opera- tive enterprise, Girls Ready to Ride Zebras.The National Woman Suffrage association headquarters is full of troubles these days.The latest is an influx of actresses, stenographers, journalists and other professionals, who want to \u201cgo to California.\u201d They have offered to walk the tight rope, ride zebras, \u201chike,\u201d or roll all the way across the continent it they are permitted to wear the badge and use the name of the association.One vaudeville actress offered to walk all the way to San Francisco if her manager would precede her in a motor car and distribute suffrage pamphlets and literature.\u201cIf only Rosalie Jones had not gone in for economic independence,\u201d wailed an official.\u201cThere's no use getting up & suffrage \u2018hike\u2019 now that Rosaile has got a job.\"\u2014New York Sun.BABY ELEPHANT SHED TEARS \u201cCried and Took On Something Ter rible\u201d Throughout Sea Trip, Says Keeper.Alfred Austyn arrived in this port yesterday from his home city, Londoa, England, because some blighter had stopped him on the dock in London and awsked him to look after a bloomin\u2019 baby elephant which had quarters in the hold of the liner Min newaska.- Austyn told ship news reporters yesterday when the Minnewaska docked that 'e couldn't leave the blawsted brute a moment on the trip or it would begin moanin\u2019 fit to die \u2019P said that every time \u2019e did leave it the beast cried and took on something terrible.Last Sunday, 'e continued, 'e thought the divine service on board might re store \u2018ls peace of mind, so he went to the services, leavin\u2019 the little elephant taking a nap and lookin\u2019 sweet enough to kiss.But as soon a8 Austyn got to divine worship there was a terrible moanin\u2019 trom the hold, which got so loud that officers of the boat awsked him to please get back down to that blighted beast and stay with \"im till the voyage ended.Austyn went down to the elephant and found \"Im weepin\u2019 real tears.\u2019E was feelln\u2019 sorry for the poor little animal, when it sucked up a trunk of water from a bucket and blew it In is face.'E was glad then it was only a baby elephant.\u201cAnd that's all e's been doin\u2019 all the way over,\" said Austyn yesterday.\u201cWhen 'e wasn\u2019t moanin\u2019 \u2019e was throw in\u2019 water all over me and everything else, and if 1 should leave \"im a miin- ute \u2019e would scream fit to kill.The officers sald I didn't appreciate is love for me.I don't even know who \u2019e\u2019s goin\u2019 to or what \u2019is name is and I don't care, if 'e will only find someone else to fall in love with.I think e Was taken away from his mother too soon, don't you?\u201d\u2014New York World.Testing English French.Numerous opportunities for the testing of British-spoken French occur nowadays, writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, and I have no doubt very simple things will often prove a stumbling block.I remember an experience of my own.It happened at Rouen during a little tour in France with à couple of friends.1 managed to act as interpreter for the party and got On very well until, as I paid the bill at a Rouen hotel, the lady who took the money observed \u201cFay boo-tong.\u201d I smiled sadly.She with an even sadder smile repeated the observation.She gave a receipt, go it could not have been anything of financial importance, but I went away ignorant of her meaning.I looked up \u201cbouton,\u201d and found that it meant

enter the store by the use of his key at any time in the day or night, that is, had an unrestricted and unlimited right of entrance, he could not be gullty of the crime of burglary, even though he carried away the goods from the store.In such event the crime would be larceny, and not burglary.But if his right to enter was limited to the usual hours of employment, and after hours of employment he used the key for the purpose of entering the stop with intent unlawfully to take articles therefrom, he was clearly guilty of burglary.\u201d She Was a Voter.Visiting New York friends is an linois

The Dragon Seal.Its Mystery and Its Solution.By CLARISSA MACKIE 2e 2.3 2 0 0 0 0 5 2 Se se ae a als EE EU A EE Mason tilted back in his chair and stared across the China sea, where a passing steamer slid through the olly waters.The little whitewashed hut with its tiny veranda facing the sea and its bit of garden looked like a dozen others of its kind which formed the muddy little Chinese village.Albert Mason had lived there ever since the late uprising.He had become separated from his tourist party and, to his own great amazement, dis- «covered himself a prisoner on a pirat.tcal looking craft which fied before the wind at night and lay hidden in obscure harbors during the day.One day the junk had nosed into the soft mud of the Chekiang shore, and Mason bad been conducted to the little hut.\u201cHere,\u201d said his captor, & bland look- tng, cold eyed Celestial, \u201chere yon stay, thief of the world, until you give up the dragon.\u201d \u201cDragon?echoed Mason, hearing for the first time the charge against him.\u201cDo you belleve that I've kidnaped s \u2018Part of your menagerie ?\u201d The official shrugged his shoulders, and his companion pulled his sleeve, speaking in Chinese, which of course Mason did not understand: \u201cLet the foreign devil stay here awhile enjoying bis own company.Soon he will disgorge.\u201d \u201cHe may escape,\u201d sald the other cau- tously.\u201cHe will not,\u201d said the villainous dookiug captain.\u201cHe caunot go beyond the confines of his own garden.The place Is guarded night and day.\u201d So Mason stood on the veranda of the hut apd watcbed the junk go teetering away to the dim north whence they had come.He never forgot that first evening \u2018when, after he had eaten fish and rice and drunk tea, he had stepped on the veranda.He walked down the path to the -end of the garden and looked at the moon.Why not escape tonlght\u2014or must he wait until his guards relaxed their viligance and then make the effort?\u201cNow or never,\u201d he muttered and pressed against the gate that opened qipon the muddy bank above the rest- {ess waves.The gate resisted his efforts\u2014it was as if some great weight held it closed.Then came & bloodcurdling growl, and there stepped into the moonlit apace before the stockade a huge striped form with eyeballs like flame and a breath like pestilence.Mason fled to the other gate, and again he met the flaming eyes and the jungle smell.Men guarded him by day; a man eat.{ng tiger and his mate kept watch by night.Like a madman he flew into the tiouse and locked the doors.A year and a day passed, and the «captain of the junk came and asked him if be would give up the dragon.And Mason, raving with anger.bitterly tefused, although he knew not what the man meant.And the captain smil- 2d and went away.And now two years and two days had passed and the junk had not made her second visit to the prisoner.His position was a singular one.He was innocent of having broken any taw of the country\u2014of having commit- ~ ted any crime.In his baggage there was not a single thing that he had not brought from home, except à few toys, grotesque straw animals, gayly colored, which he had purchased from an tnsistent street vender.The very next day he had been trapped with some hand \u2018luggage and spirited away from Shangbal.\u201cIt's a case of mistaken identity,\u201d he told himself over and over again as he restlessly tramped the garden paths, envying the freedom of the birds swinging in space and the fishermen off shore.Back home there, in New Hampshire, his wife and children were mourning him as dead.It was an agonizing thought.He went to his worn traveling bags and listiessly turned over the contents, There was little clothing left.That which he wore was in tatters.There were pictures of his family, his ase of medicines for an emergency, the straw toys\u2014that was all.His trunks, if unclaimed.were still in Shanghai.The medicines were getting low.He fad been obliged to take most of the quinine pills during bis frequent at $acks of chills and fever, There was a Alttle brandy left\u2014he was saving that for some great emergency\u2014and two wunopened bottles of chloroform.These \u2018were tightly sealed with wax, and the .contenty appeared to be inviolate.He \u2018had brought it to use when adding to \u2018bis cullection of lepidoptera, but his eases and his butterfly nets and his pins and other paraphernalia were in the trunks, .Chloroform, a willing servant, he mused, his dark thoughts running on, eliminating himself from his horrid existence.And then, like a lightning flash re vealing unsuspected avenues of escape, came the idea.The remainder of the day he was aarvously excited.He took the pic 4 tures of Lis family.the brandy bottle and the quinive, the striw toys and bis one clean shirt aud made a pack.uge, which be belted around his chest under hiy clotbing.He cooked and ate an enormous quantity of tice and fish; then be threw himself into his hammock and slept heavily untll 10 o'clock.He shook himself into wakefulness, slung a jug of coid tea from his shoulder and went into the garden.In one hand he curried a large bath sponge tied to a strong stick.In the other hand he curried a bottle of chloroform.At the nearest gate he paused and looked through at the outstretched form of the jungle cat.She was accustomed to Mason\u2019s presence there and did not even stir With steady hands he soaked tbe big sponge with chloroform\u2014the bottle was large, and the sponge was dripping.Carefully he poked the stick between the bamboo uprights and pressed it close to the nose and mouth of the sleeping -tigress.She stirred \u2018and, as if enjoying the unaccustomed sensation, grasped the sponge in her huge paws and muzzled it sleepily.She did not even stir when Mason squeezed a heavy duck bag through ti® palings and tossed it over her head.He hagtened to the gate at the end of the garden and performed the same operation with the flercer male beast.His hands were trembling now, for he must make haste.He could not hope that the anaesthetic would do more than stupefy the beasts for awhile.There was not enough of it, and tbe conditions were not favorable, \u201cJust ten minutes\u2014give me ten minutes\u2019 start and I'll take my chances with sharks rather than stay here another minute!\u201d he muttered savagely.The garden gate opened, and he step: ped over the inert form of the striped guardian, A CURIOUS ORDEAL Plight of a Man Who Almost Felt Death Touch Him.IN A VAT OF BOILING WATER.His Vivid Story of \u2018His Sensations as He Tumbled Helpless on His Back on a Bale of Raw Silk In the Septh- ing Liquid and His Tardy Rescue.A wan who is now at the head of one Jf the largest establishments for dyeing stiks In this country tells a story of a strange and thrilling adventure that he passed through when he was still only the superintendent of the \u201cboiling rom.\u201d \u201c8ilk,\u201d he says in telling the story, \u201cbas been the means of my living.and once it saved my life.Have you ever been In a room where they boil the raw silk?It's a bot, steaming place, with great hubbling vats that ore sunk to a level with the floor.The raw silk, in bales, all fluffy and sticky, comes in on rolling trucks and is dumped into the vats.Tbe mass has to be stirred about a good deal before it gets soaked though and goes under.\u201cJust before the noon bour one day a truck came in with two bales on it.* \u2018Dump them into No.6 vat, I told the men.\u2018I'll stir them 1f you fellows want to ro to dinner.\u2019 \u201cWhen they had gone I began to look around for the stirring fork.1 couldn't find it anywhere, \u2018*Confound Bill!\u2019 1 sald to myself.\u2018He loses everything.\u2019 \u201cI bad bardly got the words out of my mouth when my foot went off the edge of the vat.1 felt myself falling, He slipped and slid down the muddy | and 1 was seized with the full convic- bank until he reached the water's edge.The full moon guided bim to the group of fishing boats drawn up on the beach.In a moment he had pushed off from shore and was poling bis frail craft into the track of moonlight that led to freedom, Off to the southeast there showed a faint light\u2014some northbound steamer.So fearful was he that he might miss the precious opportunity and so absorbed was he in the management of the strange boat that Mason failed te notice the ominous silence that brooded over the waters; the shuddering, licking sound of the oily waves.Suddenly the moon was blotted out by a swift onrush of inky clouds and the hot breath of the wind.Surely death stared him in the face.It was riding now on the wings of the approaching typhoon.And all the while that red light bob bed and disappeared, and now the steamer showed a blessed green light.He could see them alternately\u2014port and starboard.She had changed her course and was coming before the wind, straight toward the tiny sampan tipping op and down on the swell.One minute after Mason had been rescued by the great ocean liner the typhoon struck with shrieking force.Perhaps the tidal wave that followed tossed the sampan back on its native shore; perhaps the hungry wave leaped the embankment and tore away Mason's hut and the snarling guard: fans.He never knew.He never cared.They put him in a cabin and gave him what be asked for\u2014hot water and soap and clean garments\u2014and he cared not for fifty typhoons.He was back among civilized people.He was free from that mysterious imprisonment.+ .» .* LS A year later he had almost forgotten it.He was back in New Hampshire, going daily to his business in Concord.His family welcomed bim home as one from the grave, and his children played with the straw toys he had bought from the street vender.Albert Mason had other troubles \u2018now.Business was bad, and bank- ruptey stared him fn the face.Unfortunate investments had depleted his assets.The years be had wasted in the hut on the China sea had undermined his prosperity.He went home and talked it over with his wife, a helpmate indeed.They smiled at the children playing on the floor.The youngest brought a broken toy to bis father.It was one of the ftraw animals Mason had brought.home from China.\u201cThe frog and the cat and the bird are quite well,\u201d sald the baby earnestly, \u201cbut my dwagon feels very sick!\u201d \u201cThe dragon, eh?\u201d repeated Mason, examining the hollow interior of the curly talled, red fanged toy.\u201cI don't wonder, Molly, look at that!\u201d He withdrew bis fingers and dangled before his wife's amazed eyes a golden chain, from which hung a magnificent girdle clasp of jade set with dlamonds and rubles, the Insignia of some Chinese military official.And carved on the face of the jade was the deep cut figure of a dragon inclosed in a seal.\u201cThe dragon!\u201d he muttered dazedly.\u201cYou were carrying it all the time,\u201d his wife added.\u201cIt must have been within the toy when you purchased it What a mystery it al] is!\u201d \u201cSome one has palmed off incriminating evidence upon.me,\u201d laughed Mason.\u201cI'l write to Wayne in Shaoghal and see If there is any chance of finding the owner.If there Isn\u2019t\u2014well, Mason & Co.will continue to do business.Hurrah!\u201d Two months afterward came Wayne's letter, from which I quote: \u201cImpossible to trace China has turned over, you know.Mandarins have suicided, been assassinated and others cashiered.You better keep it as a reward for your time of imprisonment.\u201d \u201cBut 1 wonlda't go through the expe- rence again for double the price,\u201d said Mason grimly.: tion of death.\u201c1 had time to think over just how terribly hot the boiling water would feel and to wonder bow much of me would be left when the men came back from dinner.Then I felt myself land flat on my back on the mass of floating silk.\u201cTo this day 1 can see the very look of the old smoky ruof as I lay on the {sland of silk with the bolilng water on all .sldes.It was horribly hot there.The perspiration started out all over me, and 1 felt that I must move, \u201cFirst.however, I shouted as loudly as I could.When no one answered I cautiously tried to turn on my side.The bale of fiber began slowly to roll over.Nearly paralyzed with terror, I threw out one arm.It was just enough change in balance.1 felt the rolling motion stop.Then I knew it wouldn't do to move.I lay on my back, poised on the middle of the bale, and walled for help.After a minute or two I began to realize that the silk was slowly sinking into fhe vat.\u201cYou could hardly notice the motion.At first I could look out of the corner of my eye and see the edge of vat No.8 A little later, when I looked again, it was out of my llne of vision.I couldn't move without having the bale roll over, and if 1 remained still \u20181 would go down fiich by inch into the scalding water below, \u201cJ can remember that ! became a little bysterical.It\u2019s funny what tricks the mind plays.\u201cThis is dyeing with a vengeance, 1 said aloud, and | even laughed as 1 said it \u201cIt was growing hotter, Steam had begun to percolate through the silk, and 1 was wet through with the stifling clouds that rose from the surface of the water.| bad no idea of time.By and: by, however, some one answered my shouts.The door opened and two men came running across the room.\u201cGet a pole!\u2019 shouted one.\u201c1 knew that would be fatal; the slightest push and ! would roll over Into the steaming stew.\u201c*Boys,\u2019 cried I, \u2018don\u2019t touch me or it will be all over! One of you turn off the feed pipe.\u201cI could bear t} .chug.chug of the steam belng cut off from the vat.A moment later I could see the wet rim that broadened round the edges, und I knew the water was falling.It took half an bour to empty No.6.Wr awbile the two men ran round like excited June bugs.Then they got & rope and sat on tbe edge of the vat watch- fog me with great staring eyes.\u201cAg the water ran out the silk sank pow on one side, now ou the otber.Crace it started to roll.Both the nen grunted and sat up very straight.Sud- dealy one of them cried out: \u201cThere's the bottom?«I felt the mass of silk settle against sumetbing.1 heard the last water gulp as it rap out.Then Ï fainted away.\u201d\u2014Youth\u2019's Companion.Her Royal Nibs.Well, is our dinner party going off all right tonight?\u201d *1 hope so.\u201d \u201c \u201cAnd wbat are we to have?\u201d \u201c] 4on't know as yet.The cook îs to give me an audience at 4:30.\"\u2014Lou- tsville CuvrierJournal * A Parting Shot, Cholly (making a date)\u2014~Very well; I'll be there bright and early.Miss Reen-\u2014Be there early anyway.1 won't ark the other thing.\u2014Boston Trans cript Very Likely.It's a sad thing to witness goodbye between young lovers, but we suppose the wilkman gets used to Ît.\u2014Florids Timre-Univn.Cooking Up a Reason.Nan-1 like a play with a stirring plot.Fan-#That's the kind that thick- ons, isn't it?-Chicago Tribune NOT TO BUY TOO MUCH RESOLUTION FOR BRIDE-ELEOT TO KEEP IN MIND.EverChanging Styles Make Elaborate Purchases a Wasteful Expenditure =8olect Only Garments That Will Meet Requirements.To put money into costumes that are rarely required is utter extravagance.Tv put money into the clothes that mre most often needed and in which friends most often see one, is to spend wisely.It is what one wears every day that often determines one\u2019s reputation for looking well, rather than dowdiness interrupted by a burst of glory on special occasions.Far too many women argue the other way and cannot reason out why their everyday triends have a slight.opinion of their taste in choosing cjothes.\u2018 Before one gown is bought a bride- elect wants to\u2019 thresh out her prospective soclal life.She usually can determine where the greatest demand will come.Even if her future life is to be spent in a new city, she can come to a safe conclusion regarding her opportunities.In other words, she can draw up a scenario and fill in afterward.She must strive not to overstock on superfluitiés, that's all.It may be a serious temptation to go among alluring garments that are net required in her scheme of life; she is o human in wanting to throw prudence to the winds and put money into a garment that she hopes to find an occasion to wear, but along that path lies danger.> The.money gone in that direction probably is needed in another, and to skimp on a coat, suit or frock that is to be steadily woru because one was uk i!

of bird conservation gives some facts demonstrating their usefulness as insect and noxious weed destroyers that should become general xnowledge.A tree swallow's stomach was found to contain 40 entire chinch bugs and fragments of many others, besides other species of insects.A bank swallow in Texas devoured 68 cotton boll wee vils.Thirty-five cliff swallows had taken an average of 18 boll weevils each.Two stomachs of pine siskins from Haywards, Cal, contained 900 black olive scales and 300 plant lice.A killdeer\u2019s stomach taken in November in Texas contained over 300 mosquito larvae.A flicker's stomach held 28 white grubs.A night hawk\u2019s stomach collected in Ketucky contained 34 beetles, the adult form of white grubs.Another night hawk from New York had eaten 24 clover leaf weevils and 376 ants.Still another night hawk had eaten 340 grasshoppers, 52 bugs, three beetles, two wasps and a spider.A bobtaîled grackle from Texas had eaten at one meal about one hundred cotton boll worms besides a few other insects.A ring-necked pheasant's crop from Washington contained 8,000 seeds of chickweed and dandelion heads.The quail, between his cheery calls of \u201cBob White,\u201d is busy consuming 136 varieties of insects.He will eat on an average 75,000 insects and 6,000,000 weed seeds a year.He is the natural enemy of the boll weevil and the potato bug and the best friend of man, who is trying to destroy him in near ly every state.In fact, there are few birds that are not the friends of the farmer, paying him many times over in the destruction of insects and noxious weed seeds for the small amount of toll they take from his crops.Singing While In Danger.Though there is no definite rule lala down in the British naval regulations, yet It has become an unwritten one for the officers to Instruct their men to sing when they are in great danger, as for instunce, when their ship has been mined or torpedoed and is sinking.Thus many of the men on board the Formidable went bravely to theirs deaths singing \u201cTipperary.\u201d A popular song, as a rule, is ordered to be sung because most of the sallors know it, and collective singing puts more heart in them and helps them tn hang on as long as possible till help comes.Some years ago some sailors from the Vernon were blown up in Portsmouth harbor.It was in the middle of January, and an icy blizzard made things worse than usual.The lieu?tenant in command, who was swimming in the water, yelled out to his men, who were also battling for their lives, \u201cSing \u2018Bill Bafley,'\u201d and

stratigraphy, the structure, the paleontology, and the areal geology, it is at present not only impossible to determine the area and position of many of the beds, but also even the thickness of some of the marble formations which are but partly exposed.The marbles of eastern Vermont, many of which are dolomitic, vary widely in kind and character, and the outcrops, though few in number, are scattered from the Massachusetts line to the Canadian boundary.Many of the marbles are suited only for indoor ornamental use.The greater part of the ledges are to be classed as mineral reserves which will be drawn on in the future.: A Half-Cent Coin, In these times, when every little that can be saved on the living expenses of the poor counts, I would sug- gept that the United States government coin a half-cent, which would be of great benefit to those who must count every cent of expenses.For Instance, if one wished to buy a half-pound of coffee, at 25 cents a pound, one would be obliged to pay 13 cents; with a halfcent piece in use there would be a saving of half a cent.There are many other things, too numerous to mention, that could be bought by poor people, especially fruit.One often sees apples and bananas sold two for one cent.If a poor person\u2018 had a half-cent he cou buy one, when he did not need two.\u2014New York Times.\u201cCorpse\u201d Snored; Arrested.When George

gentleman, whose name she did not catch, would like to speak to her.Miss Lane supposed that it was a reporter on a local paper who desired an interview, and she wearily gave permission for the visitor to be brought into her presence.When, a little later, the manager brought a small, delicate looking man up to ber in the wings she smiled upon him condescendingly and opened the conversation by saying

government as na means of making known their grievances.The most celebrated \u2018round robin\u2019 in.the English language is the one signed by Burke, Gibbon, Sir Joshua [leynolds and others and scent to Dr.Samuel Johnson, requesting him to amend the epitaph to Oliver Goldsmith In Westminster ab bey Lod suggesting that It be written in English and not in Latin.Johnson accepted the \u2018round

which landing grew the story that the cottages at World's End are \u201cstill inbabit- ed by the descendants of Spaniards.\u201d It was from Kinsale that James II.on March 2, 1689, landed and from Kin- sale he sailed after his defeat at the battle of the Boyne.Thirty years ago the house in which he spent the night before his departure was still in existence.Kinsale was greater in the past than
