Lone Distance Laundry.

Some Of the smart set Frenchmen Of
today send their linen to London to be
washed. Their ancestors used to go
even further afield In search Of good
laundry work. So far back as the six
teenth century Frenchmen had their
washing done in Holland, where the
soft water of the bikes was supposed
to impart special gloss to linen. This
practice appears to have lasted until
the close Of the eighteenth century, for
Sebastian Mercier, in his "Tableau de
Paris" published shortly before the
French Revolution, protests against the
patronage by the rich Of the Dutch to
the exclusion Of native laundresses.
Still more remarkable Is the fact mem
toned in the .sMemoires du Comte de
Vaublanc,r that wealthy merchants in
Bordeaux used to send their linen all
the way to San Domingo to be washed.

to allow the pin to hang down in the

However hard you blow, you win not

blow steadily you can even turn the
spool downward and the card win still
refuse to drop.
The card is held in place byssuction.

When England Was Drunken.

In an article In the London Lancet on
drunkenness and the Physiological
Effect of Alcohol" DR.. Charles Mercer
draws this picture Of conditions in
England before it became "a sober ma
tion:'' "In those days the doctor was
often. half seas over when he attended
bis drunken patient; judge, counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocations in
court in a prevailing atmosphere of hot
coppers. The prime minister went
drunk to the house Of commons, where
he was attacked BY the leader Of the
opposition, also drunk, while order was
kept BY a speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits,
and the coarser kinds Of distilled
liquors were ridiculously cheap AS
you passed along the by streets Of Lon
don, and perhaps Of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung out
over the drink cellars, Here you may
get drunk for a penny; dead drunk and
clean straw for tuppence.'

Asphalt and an Accident.

Asphalt. with which so many roads
are paved. was found by accident.
Many years ago in Switzerland natural
rock asphalt was discovered, and for
more than century it was used for
the purpose Of extracting the rich
stores Of bitumen it contained. In
time 1t was noticed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed q mar
velously fine road surface when assist
ed by the heat Of the sun. A proper
road of asphalt rock was then made,
following upon the discovery, and in
1854 an experimental roadway was
laid in Paris. From that time the use
Of rock asphalt for the making Of
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries.
