minutely described by this French

The Modern Sawmill.

Nothing about a sawmill goes to
waste these days. Ten years ago
the sawmill owners would pile their
sawdust until they had large heap,
and then they would burn it, get
ting no return whatever The most
Of them now have Dutch ovens for
drying the dust, and they burn it
in their furnaces, making the refuse
pay for the operation. Still others
have established paper mills and
use their sawdust for making paper.
In the olden days great logs were
taken and squared and the slabs
were thrown away. Now a very
thin slice is taken off. Then board
is sawed and edged, and in that way
hardly perceptible fraction is lost
with the bark, and even the bark has
its uses.

Insanitary Lisbon.

Lisbon is just now the most in
sanitary metropolis of Europe. It's
river slums are in an astonishing
condition, compared with the daily
cleaned streets of Marseilles and
Barcelona. Hillsides of garbage al
most blockade some of the narrow
lanes, and pestilence is averted only
by the cool sea breeze that sweep
through the portals of the Tague
valley, as they do through the Gold
en- Gate of San Francisco. Still,
fevers are prevalent, more SO than
in Constantinople, where three or
four Mussulman health commission
ers are on their good behavior and
patrol their wards with constables.
Naples is less clean and portentous-
ly overcrowded and rather glories in
the prestige of being the free and
easiest city of the Mediterranean
coast lands.

Soldier Monks.

If the Koreans are called upon to
fight foreign foe, they will include
among their troops a curious bat
talon of soldier monks. These east
ern Knights Templars date back to
the beginning of the fifteenth CEN
tury. At that time Buddhism had
fallen into evil repute through the
degeneracy Of the monks, and one
emperor gave the monks military
training to get them under discipline,
so ever since they have been half
monks, half soldiers, and the band
of 500 would be no mean addition
to the army.
