SEWAGE FOR FUEL.

For a considerable period the met ropolitan water and sewerage com mission of Massachusetts has fol- lowed the practice of compressing into blocks the material screened out from the sewage before it enters the pumps and utilizing it for fuel be- heath their boilers. They early learned. however, that the brickwork was burned out very rapidly when- ever this fuel was used in connec- tion with the externally fired boilers, On the other hand it was found to have no effect upon the steel plates. As result internally fired boilers have been adopted.

GOOD STIMULANT.

For the woman who is tired out with the warm weather there has been prescribed a new kind of stim- ulant. This is mixture of grape juice and olive oil. One tablespoon ful of the latter to four of grape i.I;ce is taken after each meal. Ii the taste of oil is too strong for some stomachs, two more tablespoonfuls of the grape juice may be added. It is claimed that both serve as excel lent medicine. The dose becomes palatable after a while It builds up the appetite and the oil lubrlcates the stomach in a most beneficial way

STOCK MARKET GONG.

Tom Lawson's jewelry bills for a year would margin good bunch of stocks. One of $16,000 bought him a chronometer that he regards as his best bargain. To behold this watch in full action is more daz- zling than a three-ring circus to a country urchin. It has suns, moons, zodiac signs, calendars and other educational factors embroidered up on a surface the size of demltassC saucer. Of course the works are thicklv studded with rubies and dia- monds. Its really sensational fea- ture. however, is its alarm bell. This gong, hidden among the springs. rings on week days 15 minutes be- fore 10 o'clock in the morning, the hour when the stock exchange opens and 15 minutes before 3 in the aft ernoon. when it closes. But on Sat urday it sounds quarter of an hour before noon and on the Sab bath it makes no noise at all.-New York Press.

Frenchman's Delicate Satire Was Con- ceaIed in the Phrases of a Neat

At a iplomatic reception in Washington, Mrs. Taft, on being complimented on her exquisite French, told little story about sen- ator whose French (acquired in 12 photographic lessons) is by no means exquisite.
 The senator. fresh from one of his photographic recitals, bounced upon an under-secretary of the French legation at dinner.
