Curious Ciuds. The recent announcement that an English ‘'Bald-Headed Men’s eltlh” bad just met—the first time since Wifi, owing to the war—serves to recall one or two odd clubs. • The Fat Man's club," for iuslati -. was known to exist In Baris in ISM.. Its heaviest member turned the scale at pounds and the chief qualification for membership was to weigh at least 2JO pounds. About this time there also met In New York the ‘’Society of the Pointed Beards’*—a most exelnsive club. No one was eligible unb ss he hail a carefully cultivated heard of natural growth and terminniing in one symmetrical point half an inch from the apex of the chin. At two club dinners in 1>!>s even the celery was served wi:li it- leaves trimmed to a point. Thomas a Kemois. "Here in the service of the I.ord Thomas a Kempis lived ami wrote •The Imitation of t'lirist.’” are the words that appear on the foot of tlte nionitjnent to thr author recently erected at Zwolle. In a gentle spot, surrounded by ancient oaks and firs, and with shrubbery around, thi' monument stands on a hill which was presented for the purpose by the van Knyen family. The monument is In •lie shape of a cross with the'tin,nogram of t 'lirist ai d the symbols of the four evangelists. The inscription on the main part is "In (’nice t’.llus." Mat y sidiseriptii'lis were iveeivi-d for tlin monument as soon as the plan was suggested in Wifi. Queen Wilhelmlna was among those who gave. Coating Iron With Lead. Lead as a substitute for tin as a iMitling for sheet Iron, iron wire and wire gauze was strongly advorated at the Buffalo meeting of the Vmerican Chemical society by Charles Baskervilli*, who exhibited some of a process worked out by hint. Iron shingles, so treated, have been exposed to the weather In a roof test fnt two years and eleven months and show no signs of rust. They may be bent without cracking the cnatitig and exposing tin* iron Chicken wire s,, treated is quite as gnnd os the galvanized and cheaper to produce.

Dredging Operations in the Mersey Disclose Remains of Vessel That Had Been Forgotten. For some time past the Mersey docks and harbor board has been conducting dredging operations in tin* neighborhood of the Burbo bank, one of tho huge aeciimulatiotis of sand which impede the navigation of the Mu'.-e,. elitrauee, and these have residted in a •’find" of remarkable interest. It is the remains of st steamer which have evidently been embedded for generations. Her date is long anterior to that of iron shipbuilding. < >f s intid Fugllsli oak were her timbers and framing, to which circumstances doubtless D due the fact that they still retain cohesion nnd shape, anil have so wonderfully resisted the forces of decay its to supply an abundant quantity of nmterfal for the souvenir niunufuiturer. Her beams, in point of fiict, are described as being us f‘hart! as iron." The machinery has practically perished, hut lie* engine bed-plates and the funnel retuain. and relics of pottery and other articles are plentiful. The vessel, elcared of superabundant sand, is not only visible, but accessible at low water, and lists been visited and •xnmined by many Interested people. The prevailing opinion is that site is tlte William Hltskisson. a paddle sti atner belonging to the City of Dublin company, and trading between I.ixerpoot and the Irish capital, which on the Ik’tit of January. 1S-K>. was wreckmi on her passage to the Mersey. She bad 120 passengers on board, of whom were rescued by the ship lludders field, and the remainder perished.

REMAINS OF ROMAN SMELTER Intensely Interesting Discovery Said to Have Been Made in the North of England. A Indy member of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Antiquarian society of England has hud the good forI tune to discover what is believed to be ! a Hotiinn blootnery. or atKdent smelting furnace. H r attention was drawn i to tlte place by tlte work of moles, which recently exposed some of the remains, and again later by the burning of tlte whins formerly concealing the hearth and other features of tlte blootnery, near Forest How. By some exploration witli a spade, site traced tlte foundations of a large hearth, twelve yards In diameter, ami a number of heap^ of cinders, slag and ore; and site also turned up specimens of Roman tiles, with pottery, slag and hematite. The size of the hearth of the Forest How blootnery marks It as quite different from the ordinary north-country medieval Iron furnaces, which run from seven to nine or ten feet In diameter, for the one Just found Is twelve yards across. This appears to tie worth further exploration ami probably money for that purpose will lie found. Hadn't Seemed to Work. An oldish man In rusty-brown clothes I anti with a rusty-brown heard met tip with a pin. It was shining sharply | bright on a flagging, and he stopped tn pick it up. He hud stiff joints ami his fingers were in that state informally known as bungly. So he had trouble picking up the pin. A young man paused to offer his services, hut the old one reflated. He just grunted and grumbled until at last victory came his way. Then he straightened up his rickety joints and put n hand on his back. “I’m not as young ns I used to be.” he admitted, as genially as his Joints would allow. "But you know tlte old saying; " ’See a pin and let it lay, you’ll have had luck all the day. See a pin and pick it up and you are sure to have gootl luck.’ “So I never pass one hy.” And yet he didn’t look ns lucky ns a man ought to he who hud made n life habit of picking up pins.—Washington Star. Flax in the War. Wit j tlte restoration of industry on a peace-time basis, cotton once again, according to recent authoritative state ments, forges ahead of linen in the world’s favor. The exigencies of the recent conflict raised flax to tin* position us leatler among fabrics, a rank which it had held for centuries but had lost almost tflnmUnnootiKly with the advent of the cotton gin. \Virl»,i realization of the Importance of cotton in the making of m^bltlons. there entne a speedy reverslol^kto linen for the more commonphtf^ttaages waistcoats, I sails for ships, pv«W“wlngs" for airplanes having lately consisted of material woven front flic sun lined liher. But flax has reached the end of its days of nidnopoly. King (’niton now rises to'tlii> fore In ordinary pursuits, and linen once again becomes tlte aristocrat in ibis field of supply. High Minded. Thi* tencher was impressing upon Let scholars the need of saying their prayers. To illustrate the lesson site showed the class it picture of an Aral), with head between his hands, nnd ' looking upward. “Now, Billy (’abbs." j she said to a hoy who had not been paying close attention to her words, “what is that inuu doing?" “Er-^er—please, teacher, he’s u-lookln' for er—‘planes.’—Blighty.

8 ngular Admission Said to Have Been Made hy the Members of a Graduating Class. It has long been the fashion at colleges and school-', to take it census ol graduating classes to determin*! such vital facts as these: What N your favorite flower? II w tall are you? Do you smoke? Are you a pniliihllVmisl ? At ;i girls' seminary a recent inquiry was more sweeping. To the interrogation: “Do you swear?” 200 of the 21 « girl- answered yes. But admitting that they swear V not proof that these feminine lip no itter oaths. So tit least says the law in New York state, writes “(Jriant" In the Philadelphia Press. "Four or five people" must hen 1 - s swear, not for a second or twe rut "for about five minutes"—that’s tlte law in North ('urolitta. Down in Alabama they don’t expect y man to swear front the housetops, but the law says that if three or four persons hear you ju>t once, goodnight ! In Temic'-ec it is not neresssrv o repent tin* offensive words when a culprit is Indicted for sweating. I saw on the veranda of a country club seventeen women of whom twelve were drinking an Intoxicating liquor anil seven were smoking cigarettes. But if that cell'll * at the girls’ seminary is an index, more women sm-tr titan dally with John Barleycorn or Lady Nicotine. Query: Why do women insist on being so much like men? OWED MUCH TO STEREOSCOPE How Commanders During the Groat War Got Information of Vital Importance. The old-fashioned Rierposrojw* played an important part in the world war. it s-tTpplied an angle to photographs, snapped from airplanes, that could not he obtained front tlte ordinary camera lens. Before Its tt-e the pictures till seemed flat, but the stereoscope added height, and ihus steep slope*, that appeared In pictures like flat ground, were shown in their true cUaractcristics, and Ibe lives of men who would have to ei>v»»r tlte ground in attack were saved. The airplane eutnera looks directly down on the spot to lie photographed, making a picture as a, one-eyed man would see It. A stereoscopic on tiler*, in which the lenses are two and three-quarters inches apart, would not produce the stejposcoplc effect. Photographers decided to take pictures lot) yards apart to give a view, just as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart, would see It. These pictures were put on cardboard, ami viewed through the stereoscope. At first a cottage looked like a tower, a bucket like a well, a trench like a canyon, etc. The officer*! soon learned to translate tho'e eccentricities, and the problem wns solved. True pictures, giving just the exact Information desired, were then obtained hy the airplane photographers.

The “Bibler*." The Czeeho-Slovaks, having attainpil national Independence, attain also the privilege of reading tic* Bible ini the national tongue, so the British Bible society Is planning to print Czech Billies purchasable for , r *0 cents each. Austrians and Italians have long culled the Ozeeho-Slnvaks "Blblers." The Czech Bible was first printed In 147- r i, hat when tin* Czechs came under Austria the printing and reading o' the Bible in their own language was forbidden. Copies of the Czech Bible were printed In other lands nnd smuggled In, but were burned if discovered. Religious persecution, dating hack to the time of John Muss, the Bohemian reformer of the fifteenth century, combined with political persecution to make the Czech Bible rare, but all the trtore highly valued. Although, in mod ern days, the Austrian government permitted the circulation of the Czech Bible in the army. It continued to prohibit tin* circulation among the Czech* at home. Americana Eat Little Mutton. In (ireut Kritain about 22 per cent of all meat consumed is mutton. In France It Is about 11 per cent. In Canada it is not quite 7, and In the United Stales Is only about .’t'/j per cent. Last year (1018) the consumption of dressed meat (lard excluded) In the United States averaged 150 pounU- p«t person, of which only 5 were muttim and lamb. The British, tho Canadians, and the French- all similar types of people and having habits of life similar to American' use less meat than Atner lean* do, but a much larger proportion gomes from sheep. The i’nlted States gets its meat principally from cattle and hogs. Pork consumption is about II times, and beef consumption about III times, as great as our use of mutton and lamb. These are the annual averages for last year.
