A Lord In a Ditch,

Lord Mulgrave was distinguished by
singularity of physical conformation,
having two distinct voices, the one
strong and hoarse, the other weak and
querulous, of both of which he occa-
sionally availed himself. So extraor-
binary a circumstance probably gave
rise to a story of his having fallen into
a ditch on dark night and calling for
aid in his shrill voice. A countryman
coming up was about to help him, but,
lord Mulgraye addressing him in a
hoarse tone, the peasant Immediately
exclaimed, "Oh, if there are two of
you in the ditch you may help each
other out of it."-London Tit-Bits.

In the Isle of Man, as in Scotland,
much of the humor depends upon odd
turns of expression. eff aver 1 get to
heaven, passn" parson), said an old
parish clerk, It'll be under your pat
ronage." The notion here is funny
enough, giving a vivid glimpse of the
future state as depicted by a man who
had seldom been outside his own par
ish, or the humor may consist merely
in the unexpected use of some partic-
ular word.
A queer old character who had been
given new muller and kept it care
fully wrapped up in paper, instead of
using it, replied to all remonstrances,
"I'm not goin fur to make a hack of it
at ALL" Upon another occasion he re.
marked to a visitor, who had been
much benefited in health by a residence
in the island, "You ISIS a much batter
gentleman now till you wass when you
came" with which may be compared
the courtly minister's "who putteth
her ladyship's trust in thee."-London

Notice to the Public.

At a meeting of the school board
of school district No. 5, held May 81,
1902, on account of the lack of school
room, and lack of funds for the en-
suing year, it was ordered that no
pupils from outside the district could
be accommodated next year except
on the payment of tuition. The tut
ton was fixed at $40 for the school
year, to be paid in advance, half at
the beginning of the school year,
half at the beginning of the second
term after the holidays. Pupils re-
siding outside of the district will not
be admitted to the schools except on
producing a receipt from the clerk
for the tuition as stated above.
This action is taken not for any
desire to exclude outside pupils from
the schools, but because the school
buildings are overerowded and there
is not sufficient room to accommo-
date the pupils belonging in the dis
trict.
By order of the board of trustees.

Chairman.

Invention of the Fire Engine.

Toward the close of the seventeenth
century NJ. Duperrier in France, Herr
Leopold in Germany and Mr.. Newsham
in England introduced almost stimuli
taneously fire engines having an air
chamber, which rendered the stream
of water continuous and uniform. In
addition to this, these engines were
equipped with flexible leather hose, in
vented by Jan Van der Heide and his
brother, which was first put into
practical use in Amsterdam in the year
1872.

They all started at the sound of a

 Take the case of a monarch with lim- ited powers, such as Edward of England. He, top, IS prisoner within that wall of majesty which does hedge about a king. His high eminence curtails his freedom. He has many masters-the people. par liament, the Prime Minister. the press. the London tradesmcn, who clamor if he buys hat In France.
 ,So, too, in humber stations every man has his master. There is no boss so powerful that he has not to do rever- ence to another Boss. The errand man in the bank takes orders from the junior clerks, the junior clerks from the se- niors, the seniors from the cashier, the cashier from the president the presi- cashier from the president, the presi- from the stockholders and from the mag mates of finance. The magnates of one million dollars takes orders from the magnates of ten millions, the magnates of ten millions from those of one hundred millions, and the latter areslaves of their valets or their vices or of some titled person through whom their wives hope to be introduced to smart society abroad
 Put two human beings together and each will acquire mastery In some re- spect over the other. The human race is a social body Men are interdepen- dent. Absolute freedom and splendid is- olation are alike impossible. Every one must obey orders or suffer.

 The production of acetic acid, wood naphtha, and tar from sawdust is one of the latest enterprises in Norway, a fac tory being now in opertion at Fredrikstad capable of distilling 10000 tons of sawdust in year. It also manufactures charcoal briquettes from sawdust.
 By the recent English patent, sawdust may be so prepared as to be noninhama- ble and may then be applied to the jack eting of boilers and used for similar oth- CT purposes.
 Experiments have been made by which a high yield of sugar has been obtained from birch sawdust, and alcohol can be profitably distilled from either coarse or fine sawdust, the product being of high quality and the trifiing impurities con tained in it being susceptible of ready re- moval.
 Cotton From Pine Needles.
 The utilization of the needle-shaped leaflet of the pine tree, either alone or in combination with some other fibre, as cotton, faJ frequently been attempted, latterly with success, to produce an arti- cle of commercial value for textile or other purposes. Near Breslau, in Silesia. there have been erected factories that COnNeTI the pine leaves intO what Is known as forest wool for waddng.
 Other factories have been erected in different parts of Eurore lor similar use of the leaflets. The products made from these pine leaflets have been exhibited at number of expositions, where they have attracted great attention as furnishing suitable material for stuffing mattresses and articles of furniture in place of horse hair. for manufacturing into hygienio fabrics for medical use. and for artiolea of dress, such as underclothes, chest pro- tectors, etc.
 Attempts have been made very recently in Oregon to make use of these leaflets by reducing them to a fibrous condition suit able for mixing with cotton, to be spun into yarn for weaving. Tn the prepara- tion of the textile material an oil is pro- duced which Is employed as a curative agent and oftentimes as useful solve ent.
 Mir Kittredge treats of great number of instances of the utilization of the wastes and by-products of other indus tries. but they are either too well known to the general public to make mention of them necessarily, or else involve techni- cal discussion of discoveries in purely scientific branches of industry. Those described are the instances which re- ceive a prominent place in the report and which are mentioned as among the most important discoveries of the last decade in the utilization of material that not many years ago it WIS not dreamed could be made of use or commercially valuable

Character in umbrellas.

Ones character is said to be revealed with infallible accuracy by the way he holds and carries an umbrella. One en- thusiast, who has made a study of the public's umbrella manners. has announc- ed that he would want no better guide in choosing his wife than to watch her furl and carry her umbrella.
 The man who pokes you in the ribs with his umbrella, for instance, does not alone announce by such an act that he is rude or careless. To the experienced eye, he actually lays bare the innermost secrets of his character.
 The man or the woman who carries an umbrella with the point backward and downward is unassertive. On the other hand, persons who in walking carry their umbrellas by the handles, with the points continually extended or pointing forward will be found self-assertive and energet- ic. The pedestrian who grabs an umbrella in the middle and goes forging ahead with 1t in this position is likely to be found alert, but of a selfish, even conceited dis position

 No man is completely free. Every man has his master. The supremest despot is q thrall, for there is somebody whom he fears and must court. If he does not dread the plebs he dreads the patricians.
