A Good Suggestion.

The suggestion of State Highway
Commissioner Hunter, of Pennsylva-
MIA, that the road supervisors of the
various counties of the State form as
soeiations to enable them to work to-
gether to better advantage has been
needed by the county officials in the
State. Commissioner Hunter or some
of his assistants have addressed the
organization meetings to excellent
purpose, and at the present rate the
entire State will have been so organ
lied within the next six months. The
benefits of these county organiza-
tions have already become apparent,
for the bulk of the applications for
State aid are now made with a view
of doing the greatest good for the
greatest number of residents, and
there is a notable decrease of the
here and there improvements which
benefited a single locality to-a limited
e1tent-New York Sun.

Miraoe OF conev IsIand.

Early marine observers on the
SNOWY beach at Coney Island yester-
day morning had a fine glimpse Of
air shipping. The sun was about an
hour high, the breeze light, and the
Eea had Just enough Of a lop on to give
a slightly scalIoped horizon. Strung
6ut in order from the sun track there
were seen coming in a tern, a fisher.
mans sloop, a schooner with topsails
drawing, and a liner making her way
up the main ship channel. This lit
tie feet in the of1ng was held in a
mirage which lifted every vessel above
the horizon by about ten or twelve
degrees, and left a strip of clear air
beneath every water line. Thus float
ing in air, they stood up the harbor
on their way like an argosy iD she
sky.
All at once something happened to
the meteorclogy which had produced
the vision, some invisible air current
rolled athwart the line of vessels.

How a Fire May Start.

The account of the way a fire
started, as printed by the New York
Post, shows that many mysterious
fires which are generally supposed
to be of incendiary origin may very
easily have been caused by an acct
dent. No one can be too careful
about fires, matches, etc.
The ease with which a fire may be
started and the apparently inexp1ic-
able which may produce one
are both emphasized by a happening
in an uptown house last week. The
mistress of the house was seated in
the extension parlOr in the afternoon
alone and perfectly quiet, when with
out warning a hanging bookshelf
broke from it's fastenings and slipped
to the floor. On its way it struck a
small table standing beneath it and
knocked over a box of matches, ignit-
ing two or three of them. These flew
OFF, n touching the light gauze
scarf which had hung from the table,
which fell blazing against the lace
curtain near by. The frightened
screams of the mistress brought a
servant, and it took energetic meas
ures on the part of the two women
to extinguish the rapidly spreading
fire. Had the room been untenanted,
as it had been all the morning and
would have been again fifteen min
utes later, it would have been a case
Of fire department succor to have
saved the house.

A King OF Long Descent.

The Sultan of Brunei is SO years Of
age-at least so he told me-. And
while he stoops as he walks, he makes
the appearance rather of a Temporary
invalid than of an old man. He seem.
ed pleased when + told him tat he
might pass for co; and indeed he
might for his face is singularly free
from Wrinkles. HIS expression CT
benevolence suggests the late Leo
XIII.-his smile is engaging, albeit
tinged with sadness.
His house was ruling when the Ro.
man empire had hardy ceased to
crumble. His ancestors gave the law
to a vast Eastern empire when Eu.
rope was but a patchwork of barbar-
GUS chiefs, and when, after centuries.
Spanish and Portuguese found their
way to the Spice Islands they laid
propitiating gifts at the feet Of the
Borneo Sultan-as ~yassals. humbly
begging the right to live within his

old Time ~curl Upp Skates.

Few of the present generation OF
skaters ever saw q pair of old fash
ioneG "curl up" skates or know what
they are, but if they are native born
their parents or grandparents can
probably tell them about these old
time appliances for skimmiEg over
the ice. The boys and girls Of today
have quick fastening, light and hand
some skates, and in many cases keep
them attached to shoes that are used
only for skating and I put on at the
pond side.
In the old days straps for the "curl
ups were unknown, leather thongs
or stout strings being used with a
sort Of harness" to keep the skates
on the feet. The term curl up" comes
from the name III which the forward
end of the skate irons were curled,
extending over the toe of the foot.
Doubtless many of the old folks can
remember when the cheapest skates
consisted only of a wood bottom for
the foot and a strip of metal for an
ice surface. These were "cheap" in.

RUSTY I R IRONS.

Rusty irons should be well rubbed
with sweet oil, left for twepty-four
hours, and then secured with >urslak-
ed lime; if the stains are very deep
the lime may be laid on as a paste,
and left for a day or two. 1t must be
kept in mind that if the rust has thor
oughly eaten into the steel nothing
will remove it.
Prevention in this cas is better

THE PEACH TREE BoRER.

The peach borer is a wasp-like in
sect, with transparent wings and a
E1chly-ornamented body, banded and
striped with gold, and deposits it's
eggs about the base of the trunk of
the tree. The eggs hatch out, the
larvae bore into the sap-wood, and
cause an oxidation. of gummy matter,
which appears in masses about the
base of the tree. The larvae seem
partly to live in this gummy substance
and partly in the sap-wood of the
tree. Sometimes three or four are
found on the same tree, occasionally
girdling and destroying it, but always
inducing more or less of a diseased
condition ari impairing it's vigor. Al
together it is very Objectionable
and destructive insect.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE SMILE.
Habit Formed by the Association Of,
Agreeable Impressions.

STCcdO 4LAP0OSSAO0CS
Smiling has been studied from a
physical standpoint by George Du-
mas, a French psychologist, and his
conclusions on why we smile are pub
lished in the Literary Digest, trans
lated and condensed from the Revue
Scientifique. M. Dumas produced ar
tifcial smiles by applying an electric
current to the nerves under the lobe
Of the ear.
"The muscles concerned in smiling
were made to contract, and the OPP
posing muscles remained Quiescent,
but the action of the members of the
smiling-group was unequal, 80 that
most of the electric smiles that the
experimenter obtained seemed to in
dictate grief rather than joy, particu-
larly since the contraction around the
eye exceeded that around the mouth.
Nevertheless, he considers the result
a triumph for his theory, and exhibits
with pride a photograph of a 'unilat-
eral smile caused by electric excita-
ton of only one side of the face"
He says a smile may appear with
out any psychologist excitation and in
itself has no expressive value. "And
man." he says, "has. formed the habit
of associating the muscular sensa-
tions and the sight of these move
ments with an agreeable impression,
so that he regards them as a sign ex-
pressive of this state of pleasure. To
manifest it he has formed, by asso-
citation, the habit of smiling and of
considering the smile of others as an
evidence Of their satisfaction. . "
We have learned to smile in different
ways to indicate irony, indulgence,
etc., and the accentuation of the
movements of different muscles has
assumed the same value as a shrug
of the shoulders, the raising of the
syllables or words. It is thus that
psychologist progress has made of the
smile a keyboard on which we play
with more or less skill.
"The Oriental, especially the Jap
anese, always smiles out of polite
ness, even when he is sad, because it
is a social fault to sadden a stranger.
He has reached the maximum of self
mastery and, in a sense, a superior
state of psychologist progress and of
civilization"
M. Dumas says animals do not
smile with their faces because their
facial muscles are not, as. in man, the
most mobile. Those of his tail are a
dogs most mobile muscles, therefore
he smiles by moving his tail, and
this movement has a tendency, even
in his case, to become a real gesture.
Cats also smile with the tail, and per-
haps also birds; the e~lectiIe muscles
of the feathers and tail are, with the
maybe, for instance, real smiling
muscles"
