There will be no additional wing built

legislation which will enable tine Board
Of Freeholders to raise the necessary
money for the same by the issue Of

is necessary before the county can

erection of an addition will probably be

Iunchtima In San Francisco.

For q year q wholesale house in San
Francisco has experimental with the
plan Of closing its place of business
each day from II to O'Clock, during
which hour all the employees obtain
their monday meal. The arrangement
was found to have many advantages
over the old way of permitting the
clerks to go to luncheon by relays, and
it has so commended itself to other
wholesalers there that movement is
on foot to mako the plan general.
In most of the large houses the first
relay goes to lunch at II O'Clock, and
generally it is well on into the after
noon before the. last Of the clerks get
chance to get away from their work for
the midday meal. The managers of the
houses say that the working forces OF
the stores are demoralized for at least,
say, three hours each day on account OF
the lunch hour system now in vogue.
With the proposed system the store
would be closed for all hour every day,
but during business hours all hands
would be ready for service, making less
friction in the transaction of business
and securing greater attention to Gus
toners.
If this plan works we'll in San Fran
cisco, there is no reason why it should
not work we'll in other places, and per-
haps the retail stores might also find
pleasure and profit in it.-New Haven

The Car glove To-"

An old bo'sun's mate Of the U. S. S.
Princeton, a bit wabbly as to his under
pinning, at the corner Of Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue the other
night was waiting for navy yard car.
Two or three of the cars passed him by
whizzing because, in the obscurity, the
motorman couldn't make out the figure
of the old time fatfoot. The old navy
bluejacket didn't appear to like this,
and when the next navy yard car came
whizzipg around the corner of Fifteenth
street he took his stand in the middle
of the track and let out ships call
that could be heard two blocks.
"Heave to, till l board ye!" he shout
ed. The car "hove to-" and the old
bo'sun's mate pulled alongside, climbed
over the gangway and was off in a
bunch. Washington Post.

A CURIOUS CURE.
Tho Healing Power Of Light, Sun and Air
Applied.

The Healing Power Of Light, Sun and Air
Applied.
We had come to Veldes, in the Julian
Alps, for month as the paying guests
among hundred others of a man who
for 80 years past has been preaching
not altogether in the wilderness-the
healing power Of light, sun and air ap.
piled to the body of man as God made
it. The tailor's art, he insists, is anti
hygienio, asource of moral and physical
degradation. There may be occasions
for simple covering, but there are equal
ly, in the interests Of wholesomeness
and vitality, occasions for absence OF
clothing.
In accordance with the rules Of the
game therefore we rose every morning
soon after 5 and, having walked, my
friend and I to the Hill of Men, our
wives to the Hill Of Women, in the
scantiest clothing consistent with what
is called decency, we forthwith spent
the early hours wandering or reclining
in sun or shadow, jumping, digging or
reading, according to temperament, and
breakfasting on the milk, bread and
honey we had brought with US from the
hut.
After our strange air bath on tho top
Of the hill we used to walk back, cloth
ed, to another strange bath at the bot
tom, where for the best part of an hour
we lay out on slanting roof bare, save
for our heads, to the full blaze Of the
sun. Then for 90 minutes by the clock
we were swathed tight in our blankets
and then taken indoors, plunged into
tub Of tepid water and massaged by ex-
pert attendants. By the time we got
back on our bare-and not infrequently
tender-feet to the huts we were quite
ready for the simple vegetarian midday
meal that awaited us under the huge
common dining room.
The virtue Of strenuous laziness dur
ing the healing time being also sternly
inculcated by the healer, the afternoon
generally opened with delicious sleep
followed at the option of the individual
by either a modified repetition Of the
mornings airing and summing or by
lazy stroll with camera or book. Soon
after the evening meal of soup, vege-
tables and sweets was over, and by g.
coffee, tobacco and chatter having
achieved their purpose-we were gem
orally sleeping our Adamic sleep. On
the nights when, for the purposes of
the cure, the body or some part Of it
was "packed" in cold water bandage
dreaming was sometimes delayed, bnt
if that particular part of the treatment
was distasteful you were free man as
soon as the attendants back was turned.
The first and every subsequent night OF
our stay we spent upon the edge of the
lake within few feet Of the water IN a
couple Of rough wooden huts without
fronts-with some forebodings it must
be confessed, although it was in Au-
gust, but as We afterward found with
only good effects. Magazine.

Fall of Murat's Lime Tree.

Murat's lime tree OH the battlefield
Of Leipsic has fallen victim to vlo-
lent storm. The tree which witnessed
such terrible carnage was already, ac-
cording to popular belief, 200 years old
and more when the three days battle
was fought. Perhaps it drew new
strength from soil enriched by the
countless dead; perhaps, like proud
Bolingbroke, "blood watered it to make
it grow" In any case it has survived
for more than fourscore years the great
event of its history and now lies pros
trate on the battlefeld-tbo last fallen
in the battle of giants. The tree has
sometimes been called Napoleon's lime,
and the legend has been told that the
leader in the battle of nations used it
as a watchtower at a critical period Of
the fight.
But, according to authentic evidence,
it was not Napoleon, but Murat, who
made it famous. The great captain OF
squadrons, who headed the veterans Of
Spain, seems to have climbed into its
branches and established his observatory
here on the morning of Oct 16, 1913.
and here for some time he remained
till an intrusive cannon ball passed
through the branches and drove the
bird from the nest. 1t is grand old
veteran, grand even in death. Its trunk
is 20 meters high and l q meters III
diameter. 1t has several times been
struck by lightning and is at last over
thrown by tempest. Near it is the ivy

fell, whose epitaph it may justly share,

Bog Butter.

Mr.. David Boyle, the curator Of the
Ontario Archaeological museum, is in
receipt of an exceedingly curious sur
vival from prehistoric times in the
shape Of good sized lump Of "bog but
ter" In Ireland in the very old times
the art of making butter was known.
but the preservative effects Of salt were
as yet undiscovered. Nevertheless the
people CT that age possessed some means
of preserving it, burial in a bog being
part Of the process. Firkins Of it were
frequently left there for safekeeping,
and from time to time these relics OF
prehistoric housekeeping are unearthed.
Mr. B. St. George LEROY Of Toronto,
who is now in Ireland, is the donor Of
a good sized piece of cheesy looking
stuff to the museum. Mr.. Lefroy's let
ter to Mr. Boyle is in part as follows:
II have just sent off per parcels post
q piece of bog butter to you. / don't
know whether it is thing Of sufficient
antiquity and rarity to be Of any value
or interest to you, but as the Dublin
museum has keg in prominent posi-
tion perhaps you may consider it worthy
Of admission to place in the museum.

Substitutes OF limitations Of butter I

"The keg Of which this is portion
was dug up recently this year in bog
near Dunlavin, County Kildare. The
slaves are said to have been round it,
but to lave fallen off on removal. 1t
lay in peasants garden, and the dogs
fed en- it for a time. Mrs. Hopkins Of
