When was young mother I believed,

came a time when I realized that every
child on the street my child stopped to

sons and daughters. One week in school
was enough to upset all the training of
years. They learned faster from their

Could Tell It Another Way.

Many years ago an old and well-to-do
farmer in western New York had some
thing of reputation as a litigant. He
had peculiar twist about his mouth when
he talked, due to some muscular affection,
which gave striking effect to his utter
ances.
His old neigbbors tell of a trip that he
made to see his lawyers on a certain &C.
casion when he had made up his mind to
have a lawsuit. He sat down with his
lawyer and laid out his case before him at
length The lawyer said: We'll. on that
statement you haven't any case" The old
man hitched his trousers nervously,
twitched his face. and hastily replied:

He says that the secret OF the hiding
place was revealed by an old sailor on his
deathhed some twenty-eight years ago, to
a ships doctor named Dawson. According
to the sailors yarn, as Small subsequently
got hold of 1t, he was serving on a mer-
chant ship which was captured by Latrobe
and to save himself from the only other
alternative that was offered him-walking
the plank to a watery grave-he turned
pirate himself. Apparently the zeal he
showed in the profession gave so much sat
isfaction to Latrobe that he was employed
by the old cutthroat to help bury the treas
ure.
DR.. Dawson chartered yacht to find the
treasure, but found his efforts baffled by
quicksand, and had to abandon his attempt
to dig his way to fortune through it. Eight
years later one Cornelius Healy tried to
organize an expedition to seek for the
treasure, but could not raise sufficient
money. Small asserts that in the course of
his sea wanderings he has picked up some.

PARIS, August II, 1906.
A LOT of smart Parisiennes who are

tainly the deadliest Of sartorial sins just

revelations Of the decollete bodice. And
how much we are learning by this vigorous
thrashing out Of the subject Of adipose It's
sue and the experiments that are going on
for its reduction and destruction! While
one patient Is experimenting with radium
light baths another is testing the merits Of
some system of gymnastics or deep breath
ing, and still another victim Is investigating
the effects Of rigorous diet or a much ad-
vertised medicine. I am inclined to think
that the question resolves itself into mat
ter OF fndividualism.
Light baths that will make skeleton Of
one will put even more flesh on another,
and dieting, deep breathing and the like
are not all ipfallibie treatments. Once upon
time the stout resigned themselves to
their fate and looked upon this accumula-
ton Of fat in their anatomy as something
to be borne with resignation. That theory
is not good enough for the modern. who is
not prone to resignation and looks upon
adipose tissue as something to be wrestied
with or, better still, to be prevented. 1t Is,
too, looked upon not only as sin against
beauty Of form, but as something indicating
mischief inside.
Probably there is only one universal rem
edy for reducing superfiuous fesf-the sim.

motor car is not In its favor and the rush
and pressure Of our modern existence make
1t SO difficult to devote time to walking that

time for this best and cheapest OF all

Though Earl Fitzwilliam's and various
other Cocos Island expeditions have failed.

who have an abiding faith in their existence

Among them is w. H. Small. an old salt

laborious seafaring life he has amassed
money enough to become the owner Of a
stanch little fishing ketch, the Catherine.

IRELAND'S FUEL INDUSTRY.
Land of Erin Certainly Is Entering
Upon Another Era, According
to Ali Indications.

1t now looks as if ireland had
entered upon a practical develop
ment, in a new fashion, of the vast
reserve of fuel stored in her boys,
says the Boston Transcript. The
coal deposits, though worked to a
small extent, do not at present
encourage a considerable invest
ment of capital. Prof. Hull, wher
head of the geological survey de-
partment, fixed the native coal re
sources at a substantial total, and
the day may come when, through
the improvident system of Eng
lish mining, they will constitute
a very valuable property. Mean
while the peat is at the surface ami
invites enterprise. The wonder is
that this great accumulation of
potential wealth has remained so
long almost ignored. 1t is true
that at least 100000 of the popu-
IatiOn have used peat from time
immemOrial for heating, but they
were merely touching the fringe,
and the current methods of pre-
pairing it for burning were utterly
primitive and incidentally waste
full. No one seemed to think until
very recently that a material so
abundant might be capable Of
utilization in some other way and
for other purposes than for do
nestle fire. Men of science, active
enough in various directions, ig-
nOred mere boys as scarcely
worthy of their study. They didn't
even appear to be aware that Ger
many was experimenting with this
"brOwn coal" with view of bring
ing it into the domain of com
merce, and that Sweden, Denmark
and Holland had machines in use
to compress the clammy stuff into
hard and dry cakes which would
meet the needs of manufacturing
industry.
