No wild bird ever sang SO sweet
That some who listened woud not say
Its melody could not complete
With music Of another day.
And when a future summer CLOVIS
And present joys are far away:
Will love the song and miss the rose
That all unheeded pass today.
So when grave sages bid the throng
Beware Of modern joys | VOW
I'll heed him not. but bless the song
That comes to cheer me here and now.

RIDDLES SERMONS.
He Makes a Big Profit at Novel Syn
 dicating Business.

Philadelphia Record.
 An English clergyman makes a busi- ness of syndcating sermons" said a drummer who had just returned from London.
 How do you mean?" someone asked.
 ''Why," explained the drummer the clergyman writes a sermon, and then he prints about 40 or 50 copies of it, and be offers to one preacher in each of 40 or 50 towns the exclusive use in his own town of the production The price of the sermon to each man is only shillings but if IS or 20 men take it it brings to the syndicator. you see, about 100 shiNings, or $2.25. And since the sermons are so short that one can be done in a morning, that is pretty good pay. The syndicator advertises his sermons in a religious pa paper. The notice reads:
 "A clergyman of experience and mod crate views. who distinguished himself during his university course in divinity and English composition. will furnish original sermons. in strict accordance with the Church of Engand. In good print at shillings each. Only one copy will be given in any diocese. specimen will be sent if wished for. Sermons made to order on any required subject, on req sonable terms"

Peat from the bog contains S5 per cent of water with only 13 per cent of com bustible matter To condense the material into an efficient fuel has long taxed the ingenuity of inventors. and Consul Gen eral Mason of Berlin reports that the process of c. Schlickeysen has been worked since 1859. having been put in op- eration in Russia. Holland, Hungary Switzerland and Germanq, with constant Improvement in details. The peat is ground, air dried and kiln dried until the water is reduced to 15 to IS per cent. Pressing into briquettes with heat gives increased value. and another improve ment is the addition of bituminous coal dust, anthracite culm or sawdust to the peat pulp. A more modern and scientific process Is that of Martin Ziegler. The peat is converted into coke in closed ovens, the waste gases furnishing heat for both and coking and the preparatory drying, and the product is hard black smoke less fuel selling in Germany at an equiv alent of $10 to SIS per ton. It is a high grade coal, especially prized for various metallurgical purposes. Peat coke Is now made at Redkins Russia, and extensive factories are to be established in Ger many.
