Ever Coast on SandT Moot youngsters think of sleds as delightful playthings, but. alaaf thgv’re for use only during snow time. However, a group of young cltisens who live near the Hunt's Point station of the N. ¥.. W. and B. railroad have found a hill of a dusty sand which Is slippery enough to allow of the use of sleds at- all times. Any Saturday, or, indeed, any day after school hours they may be seeti there in great numbers coasting down the hill, which is about 200 or 300 feet high and not far from the railroad tracks. Apparently they get all the thrill and fun out of it that comes with snow sledding.—New York Sun. A Good Beginning. The other day John Sullivan of Terre Haute won a prize of a bushel of potatoes for running a good race at the Kiwanis club picnic. And then fats friends began to twit him about getting married, since be had a start at supplies for two. “What good’s a mere bushel of Irish spuds to a real Irish family?" Sullivan retorted. "I’m goln’ to take these home and plant ’em. And when I raise enough to feed two one whole winter through I’ll be open for proposals. but never a day before."— Indianapolis News. —•—*——- Too Deep for Him.

AND HE WAS ABOUT RIGHT Little Newsboy Certainly Had Some Correct Ideas Concerning Success In Business. The homely, freckle-faced little new*boy had not greeted the young woman ’ who works In one of the downtown office buildings for several days. Instead she had had to explain to a serious looking little fellow which paper she preferred. Soon she' began to realize how much the cheery smile and “How are you. miss?" had meant to her when served along with the latest edition. Then one evening he was back at his corner and the youug woman stopped to tell him how glad she was to see him again and that she hoped he was there to stay. “Yes-’m. guess I’m here to stay sure ’nough. That other one was my brother. I thought I could lend him this corner and sell papers myself ct another, but the business can’t run itself and he never was no business man." The young woman smiled and said: “He Is not very old, perhaps he wIU learn." ( “Not him; he never will learn. Twice I have tried to set him up in business for himself and he can’t make It go. Papers won’t sell themselves. YoU’ve got to be happy if you want to sell papers. ’You can’t be a grouch. He don’t know the first tiling about • good business man. He just can’t smile." ? The young woman demonstrated her own business ability with a smile, took her paper and hurried into the ear. But she did not read the paper on her way home. She had other things to think of. TRUSSED FOX IN HAY SHEAF New Zealand Farmer Reports Occurrence Which In Many Respects Is Remarkable. A New Zealand farmer In Pinkertons Plains reports the unique feat of trussing a fox in a sheaf of hay. The farmer was working his binder in a heavy crop, and was frequently in difficulties owing to the density of the cut. He therefore did not take much notice of a severe bumping and jolting of the machine, until he saw something dark pass upder his feet going through the machine. The difficulty cleared itself and the binder went smoothly, but the farmer thinking over the matter, thought he had caught a rabbit, and got down to investigate. He found that the machine was all right, but on the apron were splashes of blood, which caused him to go back to some sheaves that had been thrown off the carrier. To his surprise he found a fox. securely trussed np in the hay, the bintier twine encircling the sheaf. The animal had both hind legs off, one close up to the thigh, where the knives had caught It, pfesuiuably asleep in the crop.

Machinery for South Africa. Imports of mining machinery into South Africa in 1921 exceeded those of 1913 by more than 20 per cent, and show an appreciable increase over those of the intervening years, says the industrial machinery division of the Department of Commerce. The most notable feature shown by these Imports statistics is the expansion which has taken place in machinery imported from the United States. Despite the fact that there was a deckled drop of Imports from the United States in 1920, as compared with those of 1919, the salient fact Is that in 1921 the manufacturers of the United States supplied more than 35 per cent of the mining machinery purchased by the mines of the Union of South Africa, which is more than twice the amount purchased from the United States in 1913. Vitality of Matthew Arnold. Matthew Arnold has been dead 34 years. Most of the men who knew him intimately are also gone. The fusillade of diary, reminiscences, and post mortem recollections have been fired. Now value only is the test of his poetry. What survives? When a Twentieth century publisher was asked this question, he turned to his bill of sales under Arnold. One feels Hike Chesterton when he heard a writer describe to what heights can rise “a Shakespeare, a Burns and an Ingersollan impulse to run and whisper such a delightful incident to Arnold’s tomb In Laieham. Yet, after all. this was a reasonable test. To read an author’s book is a compliment; to buy it a recognition.—Stanley T. Williams in the North American Review. WHY THE KETTLE SING’S It is the pressure of gas coming out of the kettle that makes it sing. When the water boils vapor forces its way out of the spout The kettle trembles, sending vibrations that make your ear tremble. When you speak or sing you nearly close your throat. Air from your lungs is squeezed through a small opening. The pressure of air sets the vocal cords trembling. Thus the song of the tea kettle and the vo.'ce are the result of similar causes.

DIFFER IN VIEWS OF LIFE Orientals Look at Existence In a Manner Radically Different From the Westernere. We feel that the things others desire | from life must be tha same that wo desire. Yet, In fact, the races of Asia and Africa—beyond the primitive belly-need — make quite different claims on life from ours. Most of us desire, among other things and above them, comfort and security Asia and Africa take little account of comfort and still less of security. They want the joy of living and a chance to do their own living for themselves; a life not so much protected, but with color and excitement in It, with the aest of creation and accomplishment in it—a life in which a heavy-handed man would have a chance, and anybody could come to' the top. The life of the Arabian Nights—the real Nights—ls still the Ideal of the Moslem East. For Orientals those stories are not tales from faery, but such reckonings with the wonders of the world and of science as Mr. Wells used to give us before Ihe became didactic. Or, to put the same point a little differently, the Orientals today are like our ancestors tn the age of Chaucer, with an unknown world around them, in which anything may any time happen—a world full of adventure and romance —Exchange. DERIVED FROM ROMAN NAME Tarm “Scandinavian” Frequently Is Incorrectly Used, According to This Newspaper Writer. The name “Scandinavia" Is derived from one the Romans gave to the region now forming the southern part of Sweden. Gradually It was applied also to Norway on the western part of the same peninsula, and then the Danes, who occupy an entirely separate peninsula, came to be Included In the term “Scandinavian" because of their racial relationship to the two countries to which the term was applicable geographically. As the people of Iceland are descended from Norwegian colonists they, too, may be counted as Scandinavians, and the same holds true of some Firtns of Swedish descent, though the general population of Finland Is ethnologlcally no more Scandinavian than are Magyars. The point is made by those interested In clarifying the terms “Scandinavian” and “Scandinavia” that one should refrain from unqualified use of the former unless the first four at least, of the nationalities mentioned, are being referred to collectively, and the latter term should be used only to indicate the entire region occupied by these nations.—Detroit News. Pockets of Marblas In Lava. If prehistoric lads did not enjoy the regular spring game of "mlbs" it was not for want of glass marbles. Pock-

ets of marbles, formed by the molten lava, have recently been found on the west slopes of Mount Adams, W ashington, and indications point to an Eldorado of them. The substrata, under a thin layer of earth and leaf mould, contains an unlimited number of the spheroidal bits of stone. Many of them are perfect in shape and just about the right site for childhood’s old-time game. The theory advanced as to their origin is that the molten lava sprayed high into the air. was cooled by a cold air current and in falling the rounded drops solidified In the same manner as bullets are formed while the hot lead drops from the shot tower. Another German Prodigy. Germany has another memory prodigy in a twenty-one-year-old girl, who has mastered the art of brain control over muscle most completely. She sings a German song, writes an English sentence with her right hand, and a French sentence with her left hand at the same time. Also writes a sentence in one language backwards, and another in a different language in the regular way. She can calculate with one hand and write dictation backwards with the other. She can also begin a sentence at both ends and complete it in the middle, using both hands. She does several other things which really seem beyond the limit of credulity.— Scientific American. Names of Famous Persons. The pupils of the fifth grade in St Joan of Arc’s parochial school were asked to write a story of Christmas. A book was offered as a prise for the beet story. It was derided that the authors should write the name of some famous person on the stories in order to keep the teacher from recognising the writers of the stories. The majority of the pupils wrote such names as George Washington. Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and President Harding. The prise was won by a little red-headed youngster named Mike Fox. The name he bad written on his story was Paul Castner. —lndianapolis News. ALSO HELPS HEARTACHE We read just now that in ancient times kissing a pretty girl was a cure for the toothache. It is difficult to improve on some of those old-time remedies.

CARRY MAIL DESPITE PERILS Storms In the Arctic Often Endanger the Livec of United Statee Postal Workers. Throughout the United States and Its possessions the government has established one of the most efficient and greatest postal services in the world. Promptness in delivery of the malls has always been its motto, as records of the post office department show. In the far north the “mailman" experiences the severest hardships, as evidenced by the history of the Alaskan postal stations. In the Arctic the “mailman” is usually not called upon to make extensive overland trips more than once or twice in the long winter night. These trips, however, are fraught with immense hardship and danger. Working from the seacoast postal station at Tauana, Alaska, from which stations in the bleak interior of northern Alaska are served, the dog sledges which carry the mail must travel 000 weary, perilous miles overland to the “farthest north" office, at Point Barrow. One trip a winter to this office la a season’s work for the mailman on that route. The trip means weeks upon weeks of the most arduous traveling, in utter loneliness, with only the savage, halfwild dogs of the team as companions, all the time under the pall of the long Arctic night, only relieved by the shifting, terrible glory of the northern lights. Many cases are on record where mail carriers, traveling behind their dog teams, have been caught in deadly blizzards and lost. In almost every case the mail has been rescued by searching parties and taken through to its destination.—Joseph Edgerton In the Washington Times-Herald.

WAX IS PRODUCT OF INSECTS Important Export of Chinese Province Deposited on Trees and Gathered In Its Season. White wax, one of the most, lmi»ortant exports of the province of Szechwan, in China, is chiefly found in the districts of Klatlng, Chlewei and Ipln. and along the Yangtze river in the vicinity of these places. It is a substance deposited on trees by insects known as wax insects. Once a year —in March —they are collected from the regions on the border of Yunnan by the wax-worm raisers, and are placed on pollarded trees, either ash or privet, which are mostly grown tn Klatlng and neighboring districts.

Speed is essential in the removal of these insects, or they would hatch out before they get to the wax districts, and would thus be wasted. Therefore, the coolies generally travel in relays so as to reach the destination in time for the hatching. When the moulting period Is over, the worms begin to deposit the wax on the leaves of the trees. This process continues up to the end of August, when the wax is collected. After dissolving in boiling water, it is usually moulded Into cakes of various sizes and shanes.

Embraced by Monkey. A horrible experience befell a letter carrier’s wife of Babylon, N. Y., when a monkey dropped on her shoulders from a tree and embraced her. She was riding In her surrey through a lonely stretch of road, between Babylon and Lindenhurst when something dropped as If from the- sky and landed on the seat beside her. When hairy arms encircled her neck she screamed and an unidentified rabbit hunter appeared on the scene and shot the monkey. The dead monkey was brought back to Babylon, where the woman will have It stuffed as a memento of her unusual experience. The monkey Is believed to have escaped from a ship off the coast near Babylon. Rifle and Shotgun Combined. Four-barreled guns are a recent Invention of an eastern gunsmith. They generally have two rifle and two shotpin barrels, although the arrangement is occasionally varied. Two shotgun barrels of the same gauge are usually placed on top, while below them are two rifle barrels, one of high caliber and the other of low caliber. In some the rifle barrels are placed one one below the two shotgun barrels. This type of gun. It Is thought, will be of particular advantage for hunting in a territory where a wide variety of game abounds. The weight of the guns is about eight and a half pounds. * — To Protact Plants. Growers placed parchment cones over the hills of cantaloupes to protect the young plants against insects at the suggestion of the county extension agent In Dona Ana county. New Mexico. It was found that the temperature under the cones remained from five to ten degrees above that of the outside air, so that plants under them were not injured by a light freeze which killed unprotected plants in that district. The growers stated that the covers paid for themselves tn securing better and more uniform germination aside from the protection against insects and frost.

Utilizing Him. “Obbahooginl Labbadoogoon! Bluggablabble!” cooed the Infant. “Dear me!" sighed the young mother. “How I wish little Hubert would learn to talk!" “Talk —nothing!" shoutejj the prodigy’s sire. “Gimme paper and pencil! If hem just keep on that way Hl soon have enough names for Pullman cars to win us a million dollars." —Kansas City Star.
