BLOCKS FOR STREET PAVING.

tractive thoroughfare, but cities every
where are experimenting on some
thing cheaper and at the same time
Just as Substantial, and something
new 10 being learned every day. 1t
is now claimed that wooden blocks
treated with creosote make . fine
street. Il 10 only within the past
few years that the effect of creosote
on wood was learned. and now rail
load companies are saved thousands
and millions OF dollars In the cost Of
ties for their tracks by treating them
with creosote. The average tie lasts
seven years. Treated with creosote it
lasts fourteen. One of the tie COM
panies now has two big treatment"
plants where the ties are soaked with
the drug before being placed on the
market.
The effect Of crecsote on ties called
the attention of thinking people to
treating In the same manner the
wooden blocks used to build streets,
and az result many fine streets are
now being built from them. In ad-
sition to durability, the wooden street
is noiscless.

LONELY POLICEMAN

ICELANDS' LONELY POLICEMAN
The people of Iceland have the re-
putation of being the most peaceful
and law abiding citizsns in the
world Although the population Of
the country is 20. 600, only one police
man is necessary to preserve tie
peace.
In 1874, when the Icelanders we're
celebrating the thousAndth snnivers.
airy of the colony's founding nearly
the entire population gathered in one
spot to hear speech by the King Of
Denmark. Then the solitary police
man of Iceland became alarmed. He
feared he might lose control Of so
great . throng of people. SO he petit
toned the Lieutenant Governor sew
eral days before for an increase in
the police force by one man. The
Lieutenant Governor referred the mat
ter to the legislative body called the
Althing, who voted favorably on the
petition. and the policeman of Ice
land was granted an assistant while
the festivities lasted.

Nowadays garters are very generally
ousted from favor by the more hygienic
suspenders, but many superstitions
about them still survive. Here are a
few:
The marriage of bride who wears
any but white garters on her wedding
day will have an unhappy ending.
The girl who wears her garters below
the knee will early lose her beauty.
To put on the left garter before tbs
right on dressing in the morning will
bring bad luck all day.
Gold garter buckles are lucky and
silver ones the reverse.
The luckiest colors for garters are
white, blue and black. The wearer OF
yellow carriers will lose a friend within
a year.
If a garter breaks in church tt.s
wearer's marriage will be happy, but if
the accident happens at a dance it is
sign that the wearer's sweetheart is
faithleSS to her.

How to Fit q Sleeve.

The long shoulders of the moment
sometimes give a lot of trouble to the
amateur dressmaker. The correct way
to fit them is to put the underpart in
first. Tack the full portion of the
sleeves into small plaits and make them
perfectly fit the size of the armhole.
The effect is prettier if the plaits are
loosened after the bolero is fitted, but il
desired they can be left stitched for
few inches from the armhole. There
are many devices for obtaining the long
shoulder effect without actually cutting
the long seam, which is so difficult. For
example, embroidery and lace can be
arranged so as to have the points rum
ming down over the top of the arm, and
this will be found very effective.
