An Aid to Memory.

J. NJ. Caldwell, in old Irish Life,
tells story of young peasant woman,
Sally Sweeny, who used to walk into
Galway twice week to do shopping
for her family when they lived in the
country, says the Detroit Free Press.
She could neither read nor write, yet
she never made mistake with any OF
the messages that were intrusted to
her. Once, however, her memory did
fail her. One of the ladies of the fam
ilv had ordered her to bring back a
ward OF some color OF satin, and the
unaccustomed word slipped out OF
Sallvs recollection But she did not
allow herself to be beaten without an
effort to recall the word, SO she went
into the principal shop in Galway still
thinking hard.

An Ingenious "Firs Box"

A very simple but nevertheless eff
fective method OF making fire is used
in the Arfak mountains, in Dutch
North New Guinea. The natives cut
a section of bamboo, usually about
nine inches long by two inches In d.
ameter. and into this are put supply OF
finder and n small fragment Of any
thing hard. preferably piece of china
AZ the natives can get hold of IT, The
finder Is covered from the wet by a
piece of bark, and the sire box" is then
ready for use whenever It Is wanted.
To get n light the native merely takes
the piece OF china and lump OF tim
der between his thumb and first fin
ger: then, holding the bamboo in his
left hand, he strikes its surface sharp
iy with the china. causing a spark.
which soon lgnites the finder. Even
the white man soon acquires the knack
of doing this, and the process Is much
more effective and infinitely less labori-
Gus than the usual method of produc.
ing fire by friction.-Wide World Mag.

One OF the most lucrative of asri-
cultural industries In Denmark IL the
cultivation of beet sugar. Substantial
profits are reaped By the farmers and
for many years shareholders In the
Danish sugar refinery companies have
received dividends of rs per cent and
more. The only drawback 10 that
labor has to be imported from Galicia,
the Danish peasantry declining to
work in the beet fields, and as many
a. $4,000 Galician men and women
arrive In Denmark In the spring and
remain until harvest In October. As

covered how to save their return fare,

their presence in the country Is not

termination of their contract. On be-
Ing paid they Immediately send all
their wages home by post and, being
without a cent In their pockets and
absolutely without any means OF sub
sistence, the authorities have to pay
their return fare. Thousands OF these
cunning Galicians have played this
game this year at the expense of the
Danish taxpayer and the government
mas promised to consider what steps
should be taken. It Is suggested that
the farmers should deduct from the
