sharing in Doodle fund of several hun
dred thousand dollars gotten up to carry

Province of Quebec. Eight years ago

The Buttons On Your Sleeves,

They were first put upon the
sleeves of soldiers in the British
Army. Prior to the buttoned sleeves
soldiers had the filthy habit of draw
ing their sleeves across their mouths
and noses upon every occasion
when pocket handkerchief or a
napkin could have been used to q
better advantage. AS a matter of
course the cuff became shiny and
defaced. Punishment: and repri-
mand were tried, but they failed to
check the habit. AS a last resort
a board of officers met and unani-
mously adopted plan suggested
by one of their number, which was
"to sew two or three rough beads
or but tons upon the top part of
the sleeve of every military coat"
This had the desired effect. By de-
grees soldiers, as we'll as civilians,
became more tidy. The buttons
were not removed from the sleeves,
however, only slid around to the
back or under side, where they still
linger, a relic of semi. barbarism, an
ornament nevertheless.-St. Louis
Republic.

Sells Snakes,

A Derby boy has found an odd
way of making dollar. He was
seen walking along the bank of the
Naugatuck river, with a glass fruit
Jar in his hand. Every few minutes
he would rapidly twirl a stick with
what was apparently whip lash
on the end, and then walk on in
tently eyeing the ground. When
asked what he was looking for he
said simply: Snakes" In his fruit
Jar he had several small striped
adders, poisonous snake, which
has been quite plenty hereabouts
this season. When asked what he
did with them, he said: "Sell 'em
to de bartenders."
It is fact that Derby saloon
keepers, when they think q man has
drank enough, quietly slip snake
out of a jar and put it on the coun.
ter before the eyes of the inebriated
customer. It is said never to fail
in working . cure, and the man
goes home and sobers up. The boy
hes caught and sold twenty-nine Of
the reptiles this season.-Ex.

Wood Flour.

At Mount Pleasant, on the Ulster
and Delaware Railroad, is a mill
which makes wood flour out of white
beechwood. The logs, stripped of
bark, are forced against cutting
machine which makes 400 revolu-
tions a minute. The thin shavings
are dried and put into a hopper
which grinds them into flour. The
-four is bagged and sent to New
York. Says gentleman who WIS.,
tied the mill the other day: GA man
told me there is a pretty good sale
forthe stuff. He said that part oft
was used as paper stock and in the
preparation OF lincrusta walton.
That is the ostensible purpose for
which it is made, but the workman
told me that a gosd deal of the
stuff went into the hands of con-
tractors for furnishing Indian ra-
tions, and that considerable of it
also went into the cheap breads
sold in the Italian and Hebrew dis
tricts in the lower part Of the city"

A Happy Thought.

The editor sat on hard-bottom
chair trying to think of a thought,
and he plunged all his fingers about
through his hair, but not one topic
they brought. He had written on
temperance, tariff and free trade,
and the prospects of making a crop,
and joking about ice cream and
weak lemonade, till his readers had
told him to stop. And weary Of
thinking, sleep came to his eyes,
and he pillowed his head on the
desk, when the thoughts which
awake had refused to arise, came in
troops that were strong and gro
tesque. And as the ideas airly float.

Do Alligators Swallow StonesP

The Indians On the banks of the
Orinoco river, South America, assert
that an alligator, previous to going
in search of prey, always swallows
a large stone that it may acquire
additional weight to aid it in drag
ging its prey under water. Boliver,
the traveller, related this to a COM
panion, who was somewhat inclined
to disbelieve it; to prove that there
was really something in the stories
related by the Indians, Boliver shot
several while in the presence of his
friend, and in all of them rocks
were found weighing according to
the size of the ''gator." One i'm
mense fellow, over seventeen feet
long, had a stone in his stomach as
large as one man could lift.-St.

Electricity in War.

The possibilities of the use Of elec-
tricity in warfare at present are only
limited by the amount of machinery
that can be handled. Those who
are continually urging the govern
ment to build vessels of war with q
view of destroying life and wasting
the public money, should be trotted
out into some wilderness and given
an opportunity to practice on each
other with lightning as their weap-
on, for the benefit of those who
know that it is time that war should
cease altogether, and those who are
picnicking on government vessels
at great expense in the Mediterra-
mean should be called home and
instructed in the art of earning
their own living. Why should we
fight when national boundaries are
becoming less defined and all peo-
pies. are drawing together as one
people7 Why should we kill each
other? A late invention is the at
tachment of an electric motor to a
Calling gun, increasing its capacity
from 500 to 1000 shots per minute.
This, says a contemporary, is looked
upon as a wonderful increase in
destructive power, but it must not
be lost sight of that electricity is
lightning and that in handling 1t
we are in our infancy. Fortunately
| it is a law of nature that those who
are given the knowledge of its oc-
cult forces are at the same time
disarmed of the desire to use them,
and the desire for money-making
| decreases in the same ratio.-Mln-
| inc and Scientific Press.
