The Modern SaMmiII.

Nothing about sawmill goes to
waste these days. Ten years ago
the sawmill owners would pile their
sawdust until they had a 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.

ing Eddie Morphy," said one of the
old guard the other day.

port the China-Japanese war for

things were expected Of him. DAYS,
weeks and eAen months passed, but

bic tolls on his appeals for money,
however, reached considerable

gan to fret. Finally a request for

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
The Amateur Philosopher on the Man
Who Was In Need of Money.

Once there was man who had
$3.50. Another man who had bust
ness that seemed hopeless wanted
the money SO he took the man
with the $3.50 aside and lied to him
and induced him to bay the bust
ness, which was really worth less
than nothing, because there were
certain debts which the new owner
had to assume. But the purchaser
went to work with grim determine
ton and in short time began to
make money. In twenty years he
was employing 900 men and had be-
come a millionaire.
After that the man who had sold
out went around sadly telling peo-
pie that he had given the rich man
his start in life. And there were
many who believed the rich man was
a monster of ingratitude because he
didn't at least give a pension to the
one who had intended to swindle
him.

lnsanitary 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 anu portentous-
ly overcrowded and rather glories in
the prestige of being the free and
easiest city of the Mediterranean
coast lands.

John Arbuckle, the coffee mer

for aiding the worthy poor that
seems far better than any library
scheme yet devised. He is going
to build a big hotel in New York
City for the accommodation of
working people exclusively. The
rates will be 50 80 per week, or 40
cents day, for women, and So 50
per week, or so cents a day, for
men. The rooms are to be clean
and comfortable, and it is prom
ised that the meals will be of best
foods, wholesome and we'll cooked
Mr.. Arbuckle will supervise the
establishment personally. He will
not take in those who are able q
pay more, but will run the house
for the benefit of workers whose
wages are small. There will be
provided books. papers, magazines
and pianos in the common living
rooms.

Maxim'a TWO HOLIDAYS.

Sir Hiram Maxim says that ne
has only had two thoroughly enjoy
able holidays. The first was on a
Fourth of July, when his father gave
him the whole of 10 cents to spend
as he liked. That was, he declares,
perhaps the greatest of all holidays
to him. The next best one vas a
tour through Switzerland and Italy
with Lady Maxim many years ago.
This, however, he remarked, cost
rather more than 10 cents.

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
fury. 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 800 would be no mean addition
to the army.
