 The government of Roumanla is | planning drastic measures to check drunkenness The new bill regulating drink in that country makes the sale of brandy and whisky State monop- oly and gives municipalities control of saloons Bar Keepers become munici- pal employees. Bars are limited as to number and may not remain open on sundays or sants' days or after s o'clock at night Intoxication is pun ished by fine for the first offense and by a prison term for the second.

 A Norwegian woman physician. pr. Julia Bang Klinck, will be one of the | first persons to spend a winter at Ad vent Bay, Spitzbergen. No one has been brave enough to face w.lter in this place until the present year, when two mining companies decided to keep at work on the coll mines. They adver-- ] tised for two doctors, and Dr. Bang 1 Klinck and her husband, also a physi- elan, responded snd were accepted. The mining colony will consist of about a hundred persons, including seven wom- en. This woman doctor is well known i in America. havllg worked for some years in Wisconsin and Illinois. 
 The forest service has issued state mont regarding the experiments look ing to the increased durability of woods from preservative treatment which 1t has been conducting for some time. Such treatment is recommended especially for fence posts, as by the use of cresote on cheap woods it is ss- serted that they can be made to last twenty years, outlasting cedar and oak untreated ln the East creosote is about ten cents gallon. and 1t costs about four cents to treat post. The most important feature of the plan, from the standpoint of the forest ser vice, Is that it fits other woods to take the place of cedar and oak, which are becoming scarce
 What becomes of some of the old boots and shoes Is told by British trade journal. According to 1t, old boots and shoes are cut up into small pieces and then are put for two days into chloride of sulphur, the effect of which Is to make the leather very hard and brittle When this is fully effected the material is withdrawn from the ac- tion of the chloride of sulphur, washed with water, dried, and ground to pow der It is then mixed with some sub stance that will cause it to adhere to- gether, such as shelac or other resin ous material, or even a good glue, and thick solution of strong gum. It Is afterward pressed into moulds to form combs, buttons and variety of other useful articles. Prussiate. of pot ash is also made out of old leather. II is heated with pearl ash and old Iron hoops in a large pot. The nitrogen and ca.bon formScyanogen, snd. then unite with the iron and potassium. The soluble portions are dissolved out, and the resulting salt, added to one of iron produces the well known Prussian blue either for dyeing purposes or as pig

Fire Board Deeply Cut.

Among the departments which felt the effect of tho cutting most deeply is tho fire department Although granted nearly s26,00O more than was appropriated to it last year there is d slice of almost sl3O,000 taken out of the amount asked for In the first place there is no appropriation what ever for the erection of freproof central station which was strongly urged, Nor Is there any allowance for the changing of the fire alarm telegraph to a central station system which goes hand in hand with the other change asked for. The requests for apparatus are also shaved down quite roughly, the water towers and extra engines being on the missing list as well as the engine house in the Eighth ward There Is an increase of S4,000 in the item for new rolling stock and repairs but this does not provide for the new engines asked for. There is also granted the sum of sS,0o0 with which 10 purchase a site for new engine house In the Eighth or Ninth wards.
