No Wonder He Killed Himself.

William Hsrman of Huntsville, Penn, has committed suicide from melan- choly conviction that he was his own grandfather. Here is the singular letter that he left:
 1T married a willow who had a grown up daughter. My father visited our honse very often, fell Tn love with my atApdaughter, and married her. So my fa her became my son-in-law, and m> steplanghter my mother becanse she was my fathers wife. Soon afterward my wife had son-he was my fathers brother-in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother. My fathers wife. |. e.,my stepdanghter. had also son; he was, of course, my brother, and in the mean time, my grandchila, for he was son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother. because she was my mothers mother. I was my wife's husband and graudch;Id at the same time And as the husband of a ,person's grandmother is his grandfather, I was my own gran father.

A Lunch Room for Women.

A new business venture for women is the lunch or tearoom, designed to help working women obtain meals reasonably. One has been started at 37 West Twenty-second street, New York, and those who know the poy- erty of Brooklyn in this respect are wishing that one could be started here near the main shopping quarter. It would be patronized by many women, for in spite of the small cost of the edibles everything is tasteful and pretty in the one which has be- come fact. Not only would it be a kindness to the business woman. but the shopper also would be glad of a chance to eat sandwich and drink a cup of coffee without being looked at as if she were mean for not desir- ing something more hearty.
 Some of the items worth mention ing are coffee or tea, three cents; bread and butter, the same. A reg ular lunch consisting of soup. meats, potatoes, pudding or pie, coffee, tea or cocoa, twenty cents; bowl of soup, with bread and butter. eight cents, and a hot breakfast thirteen. Brooklyn Eagle.

International Linen Washing

Smoking with the gravity of sages and deiberating with an intelligence rarely equaled i'll business assem- plies, the National Laundry associa- tion recently combined the pleasures of good fellowship with lively in terest in the washtub. Does France wash linen better than Englandf" was the international topic of the hour, and to the elucidation of the problem M Camille Simon read a paper stocked with information which only an expert could acquire. On the whole this country came out of the fray with untarnished colors.
 In finishing certain classes of fine work our neighbors were credited with an uncommon degree of pro- ficiency, but the balance of opinion inclined to the insular belief that it is hard to beat England at anything. Of course London had many disad- vantages compared with Paris. where fogs and smoky chimneys are not regular institutions. A laundryman who wore shirt for two days in England candidly avowed that the same article would do service for three in France, and even then re- sent imputations upon the cleanli- ness of its starched front. Stew ing" was generally approved, and the too often sadly misleading words ''Blanchisserie Francaise" condemned IS not always conveying what they seemed to indicate.
 Purified English table linen was held up as pattern the foreigner might envy, but the feeling prevailed that our home washed and ironed material might appeal more kindly to the eye if it were wrapped and folded with the artistic expressive ness affected by our Continental friends Teie.raG,a

 James Il. Smith writes to the Tor rington Register some very interesting "reminiscences of the relnarkabie au. mer of 1916 aud the winter following, ae related by his father, Horace Smith.
 He writes that on the first of June ii was so cold that sheared sueep hai t. be kept in at night. Tue corn au,. buckwheat crops were a failure A Nor folk ia mer who had a coru patch pr tected by hill and woods, aud the soi. full of flint boulders that retained the warmth, had 1t ripen and sold all he could spare for seed at S3 bushel. To illustrate the shortness of the hay crol, the farmers supposed their stock would perish during the winter. and so when Eliada Peck and Hiram Wallace, a mer- chant in Litchfeld, offered 50 cepts per head for sheep to kill for their pelts and tallow, they had 10000 head to kill OH Chestnut Hiil.

A Remarkable Invention That Will Cut
 Lumber with n Heavy Knife.

A Remarkable Invention That Wfl Cut
 Lumber with Heavy Knife.
 A new lumber cutting machine has been tried at the works of a lumber cutting company at Greenpoint. L. |. The experiment was highly success ful. The machine, upon which Dr. Bradley and Thomas $. Crane, o; Newark. have been working for tn, past five years is 42 feet long. I5 feet wide and $ feet high. Its weight i; forty-Gve tons. The object of tn, invention, which may largely d, away with the Use of buzz saws is to economize time and lum Der itself. The machine will talk, log eight feet long and cu. boards from 1t at the rate of forty |; minute of any width from l-32 of all inch to one inch ill thickness. Ther IS not the slightest waste of materia in the cutting It k calculated tha. when saws are used one-fOurth O. the wood is wasted in sawdust ant blaming if inch boards are being cut In saving boards l-16 of an inch Il. thickness the loss k 2l5 per cent O. the boards turned out.
 The knife is three feet long anC weighs 800 pounds. It works with |. draw motion. sort of combination of knife and saw, which prevents tn, 6be1s of the wood from breaking The roller preceding the knife com presses the wood and aids i'll tn matter, which the inventors fount. was the most difficult of the ends l., be attained. The knife is moved by wooden connecting rod. fastened tt d wheel ten feet in diameter. Every revolution of this wheel makes |; board
 The machine is fed by an apparatus which is controlled by two screws set in Rabbit metal. A chain gear connects the two screws, so that they move with absolute accuracy. thus making the boards exactly the same width from one end to the other A system of cogs is so arranged that by changing the size of the cog wheel the width of the board to be cut t regulated. The total output of the machine when in running order will be from SO. GOO to 100. O0u feet a day.
 The new invention, it is said, vii revolutionize the making of boards for cigar boxes, backs of pictures butter boxes and the like. Ash cherry. birch and basswood logs car be cut. The boards drop from tht blade as smooth as if rubbed with sandpaper.
 With our saws" Mir. Lewis said i've cannot cut dry lumber at all and this machine cuts anything Neither could our saws cut a board 1-32 of an inch in thickness as thi. will. But the best tbing it will ac complish will be the tremendous say ing in the wood itself"
 Dr. Bradley and Mir. Crane have consistently stuck to this project fol five years, and at last they thinl their reward has come. The machine will undoubtedly be introduced i'll al the big lumber tracts of the country The logs can be foated by stream right down to it and then shipped out to civilization all ready for use a. boards.
