SNOW IN THE STREETS.
How 1t Is Removed In London at a Very
Moderate Expense.

How 1t Is Removed In London at a Very
Moderate Expense.
The question, what is the best way Of
disposing of snow in the city streets? is
much discussed. One man suggests that
the city should appoint officials to stand
along the docks and buy all the snow
that may be offered at certain price
per CARLOAD, pay for it on the spot, and
see it dumped into the river. The wise
inventor of this method thinks that since
almost all the carts and wagons are idle
during the prevalence of snow there
would be universal turnout of the I'M
employed class, and the whole island
would be cleared of snow in two days.
In London the snow is emptied in
pits excavated for the purpose, with
perforated iron bottoms under which
there is coil of pipes heated by steam.
In these pits the snow is rapidly melted,
and the water runs away into the sew
ers In this manner the snow from the
business parts of the city is rapidly re-
moved at very moderate expense.
In Milan the removal of the snow is
let out by contract at so much per
inch. AS soon as the snow ceases fall
ing the city engineer, in the presence
of certain officials and the chief con-
tractors, measures the depth of snow on
stone slabs which are completely shell
sered from the winds. This measure
ment furnishes the basis for computing
the price which the city is to pay for
Oh, o,.1 nd "a, or
tons of the city which present peculiar
difficulties, and for cleansing these thu
contractors get larger allowance.
On winters day in Milan, after a
fall of snow, there will be as many
sometimes as three thousand men in the
streets sweeping and shoveling.
The remarkable circumstance is the
small sum of money which it costs Milan
to get entirely rid of its snow. In the
winter of 1915 the total fall of snow
amounted to little over three feet six
inches. The expense ofits removal was
about forty-twO thousand dollars. The
winter before last the fall was only five
and quarter inches. which was removed
for five thousand two hundred dollars.
The city, we should add, furnishes all
the implements employed except vehi-
Giles and horses. Generally speaking, it
costs to remove the snow from the
streets of Milan about one thousand dol
lars an inch.
One thing is certain: The snow should
be removed from our cities within forty
eight hours after it has fallen. 1t is the
worst possible economy to let it remain
to thaw and freeze and freeze and thaw
from November to April.-N Y World.

CELESTIAL HUMOR.
Venerable Specimens of wit from the Chi
nese Book of Laughter.

nese BOOK OF Laughter.
The China RevieaO publishes a col
lection of Chinese humorous anec-
dotes, selected from the ''Hsiao Lin
Kuang," or "Book of Laughter"
some of which are interesting, because
they are identical with stories familiar to
Western civilization, while others have
a peculiarly Celestial accent:
Two persons standing over stove
on cold day, warming themselves,
were overheard indulging in the follow
ing dialogue: No. l, apathetic, and
given to verbiage, addressed No. 2, re-
putedly hot-tempered and decisive,
whose clothes he noticed smoldering,
as follows: "My dear friend, there is
something 1 would like to speak to
you about; have seen it for some time
and all along have wanted to tell you,
but as people say your temper is fiery, 1
hesitated; on the other hand, if do not
speak, you may be a loser, so L have
come to the conclusion at last to ask
your permission to do So" ''Out with
it." said the other. 'Well, your clothes
are burning" mildly continued No. 1.
''Why the Deuce" cried No. 2, in pas
sion, as he observed considerable dam
age already done, "could you not
speak at once?" at is true, then,
what people say-what a temper he
has got!' muttered No. 1, as he lazily
moved off.
"Come home to dinner" cried good
housewife to her husband at work in a
field. "All right" he shouted, "as soon
as I have hid my hoe" At dinner his
wife demonstrated with him for shout
ing so loudly about hiding his hoe. II
am certain" said she, ''the neighbors
have heard you, and some one has al
ready stolen it Struck with the re-
mark, the man returned to the field,
and, sure enough, the hoe was gone
On returning to his house, and i'm
pressed with the wisdom of her previous
caution, he whispered into his wife's
ear: "The hoe is stolen"
The following impromptu, though
consequent on fall, can not be looked
upon as the outcome of a deficient I'M
Outstanding. A man stumbled and fell
Trying to rise, he again fell. ''Hang
it., he cried, ''if had known I was to
fall again, would not have tried to get
up"
A spirit about to be re-embodied was,
at the final interview with the lord of
hades, informed that he was to be born
into rich family, and would become
very wealthy. II don't want it," said
the spirit; '.just give me enough for
food and clothes, that is sufficient.
''No, no." was the reply; ''you must at
least have a few thousand dollars; it
would never do to let you have too easy
a life"

CONCERNING LIME.
Its NJ echanicaI and Chemical Actions on
the Land.

the Land.
Lime acts both mechanically and
chemically when applied to the land. 1t
makes heavy clay soils mellow, and cor
reefs the acidity of low, wet soils; but
the principal benefit to be derived from
the application of this material is in the
decomposition of vegetable matter in
the soil. Lime in itself is of little value
as a fertilizer, andno amount will make
poor soil fertile. On low bottom
lands the lime should be applied broad
cast and in caustic state; but on up
lands that which has been exposed after
burning until it is air slaked-as it is
termed-will answer equally as well, if
not better, than when slaked by water.
If applied to clover or wheat it should
be sown broadcast at the rate of ten
bushels per acre, and evenly distributed
over the surface early in spring. When
applied to clay soils or low, bottom
lands twenty to fifty bushels per acre
maybe used with safety. If the soil is not
naturally well supplied with vegetable
matter, the lime may be composted with
peat from the swamps, old sods or even
leaves and weeds; bit it should never
be mixed with fresh stable manure, be-
cause its chemical action on manures
containing ammonia is injurious. II
you have any doubts on this point, mix
little lime with guano, or with SHOW
elful of hen manure, and see how quick
ly the ammoniacal gases will be evolved
and dissipated.-N. Y. Sun

A NOVEL BANK.

The Gigantic Pawnbroking Shop of Bos-

Zone of the things Buffalo needs"
said Collector Irish, the other day, sis
pawnbroker' bank There is one in
Boston, and that is the only one in
America. This bank has already made
itself so necessary that it deals largely
with New York as well as at home. The
manufacturers patronize it entirely. The
way business is done is this: A manu-
featuring establishment finds that it has
line of goods thatit can't sell. No Or
ders come in for them. They are in the
way and the capital of the firm is tied
up in them. What do they doP They
90 to the pawnbroker's bank and turn
these slow goods over to it. The bank
advances about what the goods have
cost, and agree to hold them year.
The firm is now ready to go ahead. II
orders come in for the goods within the
year they are redeemed and sold; if not,
the bank sells them at auction. In this
way the trade is carried on smoothly,
and there are fewer embarrassments on
account of unsold stock. The manu-
facturers of any city would be immense
~ benefited by such bank, but the
trouble is it would require so much to
start one. At the least calculation it
would take one million dollars. l wish
somebody would undertake it, for ]
know from the Boston concern that it
would pay well. 1t would increase bust
ness, and make it safer, too. "-BufaLo

HORSE AGAINST DOG.
The Fierce Battle Between g Spirited
Steed and an Enraged Canine.
Bonneville IN. J.) Special


bonneville IN. J.) Special.l
Yesterday afternoon a fierce bull-dog
and vicious young mare, belonging tc
George Runyon, farmer of Stanley, N
j.. engaged in curious fight. The dog
and the horse were stable companions, but
the latter had strong dislike for the
former. The mare broke her halter yester.
day and seized the dog in her teeth. The dog
retaliated by biting the horses nose. The
two now thoroughly Infatuated brutes then
fought desperately. The dog would spring
at its foe, only to be sent flying clean
across the barn. The wild neighs and
kicking and banks attracted number of
people to the scene, but none dare inter-
fere with the frenzied combatants. The
dog secured firm grip on the mares
neck, and was tossed and knocked against
the sides of the building in the attempts
made by the horse to dislodge him. The
mare finally lowered her head, and, placing
her fore foot on the dogs body, literally
tore it off. In one of its mad rushes the dog
was seized by the mare and thrown nearly
to the top of the barn, but it returned to
the fight immediately.
At last the dog sank its fangs into the
fore-leg of the mare, and in attempting
to reach the dogs head the horse fell
directly on its foe and crushed its life out.
The victorious animal gave a shrill neigh,
and turning, kicked the body of the dog
until it was crushed into shapeless mass.
When Mr.. Runyon returned he entered
the stable and found the mare trotting
about the place, weak from loss Of blood.
Her legs and neck were horribly lacerated
and the sinews laid bare, while her nose
was almost gone. AS the animal could not
live, it was shot
The mare was valuable one, but SO
high tempered that none but her owner
could approach her safely. The dog was
priced very highly on account of its cour-
age and usefulness as watch dog.

A Milwaukee blind man has written O
four hundred-page book. He says: II
started to write my book in 1872 and fin
ished it in 1879, selling musical instruments
in the meantime to support myself and
family. We blind folks write on a paper
with depressed grooves running parallel to
one another. With the index finger of the
left hand we follow up the pencil point 1--WE
can't use pen and ink), and at the end of
each word we cover little blank space to
put the proper distance between them.
The is and the his, the g's and the other
