Naturally all people who have their say about society" do not care to have their views published and applied to all society. Doubtless the actress, Ethel Barrymore, some- times indulges in the thoughts re- gently attributed to her with regard to some people she has known who are in society,"" She put in de- nial for herself without disputing the main drift of the argument that had been placed on her lips says one writer. Society Is very ambiguous term, and Miss Barrymore or Mrs William Astor, whose views also were recently published, or any other woman of experience can criticise certain social elements without meaning to condemn all society. In this country it is difficult to say who are and who are not in society and, above all, to say which is the best  society," of any community. In monarchical countries the royalty and nobility stand at the head and all other elements of society are graded upon them. Here there can be no leadership except that which may be voted by given set or circle. Some one gives function, and invi- tations, like kissing, go by favor. Empty parlors mean that the would be leader has made mistake. The truth is that America has no best society" and no arbitrary extremes. There is variety of society, and those who are socially disposed can take their choice. If there are any who cannot fit in somewhere the fault does not necessarily rest with "society.'

In a recent publication treating of our mineral resources and issued by the geological survey considerable attention is given to the common brick. Here at least is a natural re- source which is not likely to be soon exhausted. Good clay for brick is found in every state of the union, and the annual product of the whole country ranges up to nearly $20,000, 900. Last year the two states lead ing in this industry. New York and Illinois, produced nearly 3,000,0OO,- 900 brick. having a market value of 13,500,000. The average price of brick for the whole country in 1907 was ss per thousand. It has been supposed that concrete was destined to drive brick out of general use
 For foundations to frame buildings concrete is much used as substi- tute for brick in regions where it is produced in convenient form. But concrete is still on trial among con- servative people. The cheap con- crete building block has not been thoroughly tested for structures higher than two stories. Even with concrete as a competitor brick must hold it's own. It can be produced

The expert of the agricultural de- partment, Dr Wiley, has been de- monstrating how to turn farm waste into wood alcohol. The product ob- tained is not denatUred alcohol, al- though it is used for the same pur- pose-that is, for fuel and in certain manufacturing arts. It is species of wood alcohol, and there is talk of utilizing melons as well as corn and potatoes for it's production. If the small farmer finds a good market for his small potatoes and imperfect corn and melons at the still, one of the evils of farming which impor- erish the soil may be increased by this new industry-that Is, the re- moval for sale of what grows on the farm instead of feeding it to stock and returning it to the land. Pos sibly the refuse of the still may be returned to the farmer for fertiliz- ing. But some of the important chemical clements will be lacking. With the profits of the crops also some of the commercial fertilizers may be bought; but, however it goes, natures system of returning vege- table products direct to the soil will be evaded. perhaps to the detriment of the soil.

pread Disease Robbed Of lee Terrcrs
by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence OF pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health
In northern New Jersey have been TAX
ing measures to protect the citizens of
their towns from the disease. The
health board Of Washington, N. J., has
published a remedy which is said to
be sure cure for pneumonia. and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with view Of having the
same thing published for the good of
the general public This is the pub
hcation .as 1t has appeared In the pa
pers Of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put In a large
spider over hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly, let
ting 1t simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
and in few hours the patient will be
out OF danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be SUFFICIENT, but con-
tinue always until the Precipitation
starts freely from the chest. This rem
edy was formulated many years ago
by one Of the best physicians New
England has ever known, who never
lost q patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

that among them all there is not one
pair. They are all odd gloves, mostly
'1efts." You see most men carry their
money in their left-hand pockets, and
when they're buying railroad tickets,
they take off the left glove. Then

It's surprising, too" they say at the
ticket Office, how many men have
one or two fingers missing. Out of
the lot of old gloves now there, q
dozen or more have at least one finger
gone. The ticket sellers watch for
men who have fingers missing and
try to match them up with gloves that
correspond. With that exception,
most of the gloves go to waste

The great practical utility of the
magnetic survey made in the Pacific
ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905
is shown by new magnetic chart,
from which it appears that the charts
previously used by navigators in the
pacific ocean were erroneous along
some much-traversed routes to the ex-
tent of from three to FIVE degrees,
and the errors at times were syste-
matte. Errors Of this magnitude are

The term internal revenue" has
been restricted in its meaning to such
revenues only as are collected under
the internal revenue bureau con-
nected with the treasury department,
and does not include all revenues that
are, properly speaking, from internal
sources, that is, from sources other
than duties levied at the frontiers

moneys arising from the sale Of public
lands. from patent fees, or the reve-
nues of the postal service, are not gem

SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH MONEY
One Pupil In New York Acted az the
Family Bank.

Where do school children get all
the money they take to school?" was
asked New York teacher who was
worrying over the frequent thefts
from the pupils In her room.
Il don't know" she said. "Ths stu
alton is puzzling. It is q fact that
almost every child brings money to
school. Many of them have only q
cent to buy doughnut or a stick of
candy. but others carry surprisingly
large sums. Not long ago the charges
OF theft were so frequent In my room
that / tried to stop this universal
carrying Of money. / asked the moth
ers not to give their children money
during school hours, except In cases
where 1t was really needed to buy
luncheon. Many of them promised to
cut on the allowance, but the small
coins continued to circulate Just the
same. A few mothers declared that
they gave the children money for safe
keeping. / learned that one girl in
my class came to school day after day
with from $40 to $50 pinned in her
clothes. The father spent everything
he could lay his hands on, and as the
little girls garments were the only
place where he could never find the
money she was converted into the
family bank"
The plan seemed to work, so far as
the spendthrift father was concerned.
but 1t worried the teacher
