His Life for Duty

Last of all they told the story of
old Captain Conkling and the Holyoke
dana story known to every diver.
1t seems there was a leak In this dam,
and the water was rushing through
with so strong a suction that it seem
ed certain death for a diver to go near
enough to stop the leak Yet it was
extremely important that the leak be
stopped-in fact, the saving of the
dam depended on it. So Capt Conk-
ling, who was in charge of the job, In
duced one of his divers to go down,
and reluctantly the man put on his
suit, but insisted on having an extra
rope, and a very strong one, tied
around his waist.
Whats that for?" asked Conkling.
That's to help get my body out if
the life line breaks" said the diver.
go on and do your work" replied
Conkling, who had little use for SEN
timent.
1t happened exactly as the diver
feared. He was drawn into the sue
ton of the hole, and when they tried
to pull him up both hose and life line
parted and the man was drowned, but

Couldn't Sell Her Doll

1t Is said that conditions and ones
station in life create the difference in
the sense of appreciation of men, and
this morning this was plainly demon
strated when Constable p. d. Doyle
conducted an auction for some time
in front of the Office of Squire Will
liam Sellers, selling the trunk and con-
tents of Mrs. Mollie Smiddey. This
woman lived in a suite of rooms in
the vicinity of Vine avenue, with her
little girl, a bright-eyed child with
waving curls of raven black, and
every one who saw the child was at
tracted by her happy disposition and
beauty. The woman started to leave
the city few days ago for Augusta,
Ga, it is claimed, leaving a number of
unpaid bills, and an attachment proc
ess was procured before Squire Sell
lers, and Constable Doyle was given
the paper to serve. He attached a
trunk and published the sale for to-
day before the magistrates office. He
began the auction with a small bevy
of court officers, lawyers and casual
passers, and the officer rapidly dis
patched the business. He sold several
articles of wearing apparel of the
woman, many articles of furnishings
for the mantel and parlor, and when
nearly through, or to the bottom of
the trunk, he grabbed down and Sc
cured bundle of clothing which the
little girl had worn.

How the Employe Is Personally Benes
by Being Careful with the Emplovs
Stationery.
BY Earl Pratt, Oak Park. Illinois.

The manager of the purchasing de-
partment Of large concern, was tell
ing me about his troubles and l was
sitting on high stool by his clerks
desk was also on the pay roll OF
the concern and studying methods.
The manager said something that
made me think of something, and
grabbed a finely engraved letter head
to write my thought on.
You had better not let the general
manager see you do that-he would
go for you If he knew that you used
that sheet for pencil paper"
Then / began to think about such
things II done by many people, and
decided that II all the employees were
as careless as in the use of expen-
sfve paper the destruction of station
cry would cost the house more than
my idea was worth.
While speaking to a group of en-
ployes a manager asked me to men
ton the waste of stationery. 1t is
not much for one, but there are large
concerns which could afford to hire
more help and pay larger salaries il
the employees would be more careful
and earnest in their work.

Iona confined aa Lener.

A remarkable story which has late
ly attracted great sympathy in Cape
Colony, is that of man named Apros-
kie, who, after having been confined
on Robben Island for eight years as
person suspected of having leprosy,
was recently allowed to Seturn to his
family as non-aff1icted. He was for
merly shipwrecked sailor who took
farm at the Cape, married and pros
pered exceedingly. Mosquito bites
were mistaken for leprosy by a field
cornet, who sent him to Robben
Island. He returned home broken in
spirit and financially ruined, his prop
erty having been sold for the upkeep
of his children.

pustless Roads of France.

The engineer for the Seine and Ma
rine departments in France reports
that trials of a mixture of oil and
petroleum as dust preventive have
been unsuccessful. In the summer of
1902 coating of tar was tried on
seven different lengths of road. After
careful investigation during a period
of twelve months, it was found that
dust and mud had wholly disappear
ed and the cost of maintenance had
been reduced. The tar forms an elias
tic skin, which deadens the sound of
traffic and reduces the resistance. It
appears that the tarring method in
wolves no greater outlay than that for
coating with oil.

Rlvers swallowed By chasms.

One of the most singular features
in the scenery of Idaho is the occur
renee of dark rocky chasms, into
which creeks and large streams sud
denly disappear and are never more
seen.
The assures are old lava channels
produced by the outside of the mass
cooling and forming a tube, which,
when the fiery stream was exhausted,
has been left empty, while the roof,
having at some point fallen in, pre-
sents there the opening into which
the river plunges and is lost.
At one place river appears gush-
ing from cleft high up in the rocky
walls. Where this stream has it's
origin, or at what point it is swallow
ed up, is absolutely unknown.

Jewels of the Sultan.

A correspondent writing from Con-
stantinople to Paris journal claims,
as the result of personal inspection,
to give details of the collection of
jewels in the sultan's treasury. The
turbans of all the sultans since Ma
homet II. are there, all glittering with
large gems of the purest water. There
are also the royal throne of Persia,
carried off by the Turks in 1914, and
covered with more than 10000 rubies,
emeralds and fine pearls, and also the
throne of Suleiman l., from the dome
of which there hangs over the head of
the caliph an emerald six incres long
and four inches deep. These two
thrones are the chief objects of the
collection.

with a three or four-inch hollow space
between the stone and brick, it would
make the cellar very much warmer,
and would be far better than one
lined up with lumber. If the top were
ceiled over with matched lumber and
covered with sawdust 1t would keep
the cellar from freezing from the top
The only drawback to putting in a
wood ceiling is that 1t decays very
quickly. The writer has arched a good
many outside cellars with a four-inch
row of brick giving the arch a two
inch rise to every foot in width,
hree-quarter-inch rods were placed
through the cellar at the spring of
the arch six feet apart to keep 1t from
spreading. This was covered with
earth or sawdust; the brick never rots
and makes clean pure cellar.

Marrlaae Brokers Of RAIN.

In Italy there are any number of
matrimonial brokers, and the business
is quite regular institution. In their
offices there are books with the names
and particulars of all the marriage
able girls, rich or poor, who live in the
district, and the brokers go about en-
deavoring to arrange engagements in
exactly the same way as they would
do ordinary trading business. It de-
ponds entirely upon their success
whether they receive any payment

Well rotted yard manure with an
admixture of poultry manure is con-
sidered the best fertilizer for pota-
toes. An application of ashes is also
good. 2. New land is well adapted to

to plow it, harrow it down we'll and
plant the potatoes with hoe. 8. If
