SCRAPS

In a statement to Pennsylvania householders urging sifting of anthracite ashes, the Anthracite Operator’s association says mining experiences estimate that an average home wastes about three buckets of coal a week by not sifting, the loss a month being about 12. The amount of light given by a single lightning flash is sufficient to illuminate an aera two miles square, with an average illumination of one candle. To produce such an illumination, an eminent electrician estimates the expenditure of 13,000-horse flower for one second would be required. Raising ranch-bred foxes is an industry that is being carried on extensively in all the Canadian provinces, in at least a dozen of the northernmost states of the United States, and beginning in Japan and Norway, all lying in much the same climatic belt, adapted to domesticating the black fox, under the most favorable conditions. Birds’ nests used by the Chinese are built by a sea swallow with a gelatinous substance taken from the sea moss. They attach the nests to high cliff*- where it is dangerous climbing to get them. They should be soaked, after washing in wsCrm water, in cold water over night, then boiled in milk until they may be pierced with a broom-splint. They are then added to a clear soup.

The Y. M. C. A. was founded In England by Sir George Williams, a London merchant. Williams* organization grew out of meetings he held for prayer and Bible reading among his fellow-workers in a dry goods business in the city of London, and was founded in 1844. Similar associations had been in existence in Scotland at a much earlier date In 1824 David Naismith started the Glasgow Young Men’s Society for Religious Improvement, a movement which spread to various parts of the United Kingdom, France and America. Tenter the name was changed to the Glasgow Young Men’s Christian Association.

LAND INNOCENT OF BATHTUBS

In Turkey the Stationary Tub, So Familiar In Western Lande, la Absolutely Unknown, The Turk In spite of his constant bathing (bathing being enjoined by the Mohammedan religion) has no stationary tubs nor wash bowls —indeed, Turkish houses are quite innocent of plumbing, says Edith Gllfallln, In an article on the colorful ancient capital of th* Ottoman empire. But as the Turk never bathes save in running water the br|ck floors contain drains that carry the water to the garden outside. Always before eating, a servant pours, from a pitcher, water over an oriental's hands; which seems a wise provision, for they do not use knives nor forks; spoons only are used to eat soup or sherbets. They do not sit around a table as we do, but sit on cushions round foothigh table trays. All over the near east they' have but two meals. Breakfast Is a sort of movable feast up to eleven o’clock. It consists of coffee, fruit and various hot breads. Th* Turk is enabled to sustain life until his dinner at sunset by drinking innumerable cupfule of thick, hot, heavily-sweetened coffee. Dinner, which is consumed in the evening, is the only meal the Turk takes in the bosom of his family. It often is an elaborate affair of twelve courses: Tomatoes and squash and eggplant and other vegetables stuffed with rice or minced meat or cheese, fish swimming in oil, mutton stews, goat fricassees, roasted chickens, rich pastries and candles, preserves of plum and quince and fig and peach, and always coffee and the narghile—waterpipe. At some of these dihners they drink a sort of brandy called rakl; but alcoholic drinks are anathema to the orthodox Turk. >

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE PASSES

World Soon to Have Little Use for Picturesque Character Whose Fortune Was Hl* Bword. If It shall now come to pass, as It well may, that there shall be an end put to wars, the old-time soldier of fortune will become art extinct species. The of course, can get along very well without him, and yet he will be missed. For he Is a very ancient Institution, Indeed. He was with Alexander and Caesar, Napoleon, the captains and the kings of every nation under the sun wherever therfc was a knife to stick or a bullet to shoot.. Slowly but surely, however, the ground has been cut from under the feet of the soldier of fortune, and now ft spems that, at last, he is to disappear completely. He had a good time, though, while It lasted, and It did last a long time, at that. For there was always, somewhere, a Job waiting for him. If things went stale on the Spanish Main, he could cross over to the other side of the world and find another banner under which to fight. It was all the same to him, which side he fought with or against. He had no enmities, no hatreds; he had no grudge to satisfy. His business was fighting. The doubloon of Spain looked Just as good to him as the sovereign of England or the yen of Japan.

To Get Cash From Bank Vaults.

An ambitious young yeggman once approached a famous safe cracker in the penitentiary where both were sojourning. The young man was about .to leave prison and wanted to know a sure method of getting money from a bank's vault. “Go," said the famous safeblower, “to your home town. Get a job. Visit the bank every Saturday evening and deposit a small amount of your week’s wages. Thus you will gain the confidence of the bank officials and people in general. Get a better Job as soon as you can. Continue your weekly visits. In time you’ll flnd.yourself universally trusted." "And then?” the young yeggman asked expectantly. "Then,” the wise old .crook answered, “you will be drawing interest out of the bank vault; and that is the only sure and safe method of getting money from such a place."

System Brings Results.

It’s not necessary to become a recluse to gain flthess. The very fact that you grow makes present tasks easy. That gives additional time that can be applied in still greater attainments. Self-mastery begets self-confi-dence that reacts again in greatet self-mastery. And that leads to the mastery of other things. Each new attainment helps to make work easier. The wise man knows he must have recreation and diversion so he does not become a grind. He just systematizes his time and marshals his regources in such a way as to startlt

the ‘careless worker. The result U continued growth In efficiency. Every day brings added satisfaction, sos there is Joy in achlevement.-»-K» change.

Glazing Soles of Shoos.

Shoe soles that are occasionally glazed have exceptional wearing qualfcittes, and it was by this process that our grandparents made a single paly of shoes last an entire season, without resoling. A thin varnish should be used, two coats of it being applied the first time and only a single coat after that. Once a fortnight is often enough to glaae the soles, and it can be done either on new or old shoe*.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Once more I’ve had. my trouseru pressed, once 'more my shoes am polished bright; I feel quite nifty for h’m dressed as well aa any gent in sight. When war wae on the people looked with, scorn on those who wore good rags; they, derned, dodgasted and gadzodked, and talked of treason to dur flags. And so I wore a seedy coat and pants that wrinkled at the knees;: I hoped to get the Prussian goat, by wearing mildewed duds like these, I bought cheap gingham at the store, with other patriotic men; the stovepipe hat my father worn put in service once again. And when I squinted in the glass. I was a wondrous sight to see; I often wept and sold, “Alas! No, wonder horses shy at me!” But while I thought I’d whip the Teute by cutting down the wardrobe bills. I gladly wore my cpwhlde my ginghams, corduroys and twills. But when the ammlotice was signed, I hustled to the clothing stom h and said, “The natons will not mind, if 1 wear real clothes once more. The shadow’s gone from Stricken France, once more the war worn Belgians grin; so I will buy some decent pants, and wear a rfhirt that isn’t tin.’’ Oh, James, it is a pleasant thing, to wear a white nmn's clothes again, nor fear the bitter taunt and fling of ultra-* patriotic imen!

Marriage.

Marriage Is the nursery .of heaven. The virgin sends prayers to God, but' she carries but one soul to him; but the state of marriage fills up the number of the elect and hath In It the labor of love and the delicacies of friend-’ ship, the blessing of society and the * union of hands and hearts. It hath In it less o£-4wnuty, but more of safety than the single life; it hath more eaa*. but less danger; It Is more merry an< more sad; Is fuller of sorrows and fuller of Joys; it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, uuA those burdens are delightful.— Taylor. .
