SHIPS OF CONCRETE

A 500ton concrete scow, says an ex-
change, was recently launched at Bal
timore, Md. 1t is Ito feet long, 20 feet
wide and has a depth of 10 feet 6
inches. Others, built before this one,
have shown large saving in repairs
over wooden craft IT is claimed by
the builders that concrete vessels will
ultimately create revolution in ship
construction. The Italians have al
ready made use of concrete vessels
and have found them practicable, it is
stated. Indeed, they seem to be of ex-
ceptionally stout build, for one of
them, rammed by a small war cruiser,
showed no other injury but crack,
which it was quite possible to repair
successfully. This accidental test
gave the constructor much satisfac-
tion.-Outlook.

Whx He Didn't Strike.

There was a large crowd at beer
garden restaurant in upper Broadway
at the dinner hour on Sunday evening
Walters were busy serving all kinds OF
dishes and drinks popular in such
places, with hot sausages and beer far
in the lead. when shrill whistle was
heard, and walters in the act of TAX
ing orders and others delivering steam
ing and foaming specialties responded
to the strike signal. One Of the three
walters who remained, when all the
rest had gone, was asked by woman
whom he had served: "Why didn't
you quit with the others?" He leaned
over and whispered conf1dentially:

woman."-New York Tribune.

EARLY DAYS OF ANTHRACITE

Anthracite as q fuel was once a
much doubted novelty. William Endi-
colt, well-known and highly respect
ed citizen of Boston, now eighty-seven
years old, lately read paper of rem
iniscence in which he told this story:
Somewhere in the early '30s ru-
mors had reached Beverly that in
Pennsylvania or elsewhere anthracite
coal was coming into use as fuel. In
order to make trial of it five or six
gentlemen Joined together and sent to
Boston for {; CARLOAD, there being no
railway.
From my fathers quota l remember
lump of about the size of peck
measure which he placed in the open
fireplace and heaped about it an as
sortment of pine and hard woods.
These burned very well, but had no
effect upon the coal, even with re-
peated trials. Considerable fuel was
burned upon that occasion, but it was
not coal
Some little time later, when CRATE
had been installed in the fireplace and
a good fire was burning in it, an old
gentleman came in to view the novel
spectacle. After looking at it intently
for few minutes he remarked that
1T looked expensive" and retired
from the scene. Little did he think
that his sage conclusion would be
quoted after the lapse Of three-quar-
ters Of century and then, perchance.

REMINDED HER OF OLD DAYS
Real Old-Fashloned House Cleaning
in the City Interesting Because
of Its Novelty.

There's a real old-fashioned house
cleaning going on next door," said the
girl who lives on the top floor, land
it's SO long since | saw anything ap-
preaching 1t that it seems mighty In
teresting. People move so much in
New York that there doesn't appear
to be any more reason for houseclean-
ing. They have rugs instead of car
pets and they hang pictures on tacks
and leave their curtains up all sum-
mer, which no self-respecting woman
would do in the old days.
But next door they are beating car
pets and painting shutters and they've
hung all the winter clothes out on the
lines and washed the blankets and
whitewashed the cellar and put the
window screens out and played the
hose on them, and you can just imag-
inc how clean and cool and shining
the house will be when it's all over
with. OF course it is not so easy as
the new way of hiring housekeeping
companies that bring their air brooms
and other apparatus that do the job
up in twenty-four hours or so, but you
cannot convince an old housekeeper
that the machine way of cleaning
house Is better than the old way any
more than you could make her believe

homemade kind. Press York Press

culnahle Bank Officials Punished.

The tribunal at Buiach, near Zurich,
Switzerland, after a three days trial
of the chief officials Of the local saw
ings bank, which failed for the huge
sum OF S1,4OO,0OO in 1910, involving in
ruin thousands of the Swiss poorer
classes, has given it's verdict. Three
directors were acquitted, four were
sentenced to Imprisonment for terms
varying from IS days to three months,
whilst the cashier, Albrecht, received
one years penal servitude. From the
point of view of British justice the
sentences are very lenient, but the
principal culprit, Muller, who lost all
the money and shot himself soon after
his arrest, was the chief manager, and
the directors, who had too much faith
in him. also lost heavily. Since 1915
several directors of this bank have
died and a number of ruined creditors
have taken their lives.

SUGAR AND THE TEETH

There is prevalent notion that If
children are allowed to eat sugar they
will have bad teeth as consequence,
says Health. There is no foundation
whatever for such notion. The ne
groes of the West Indies are exces-
sive consumers of sweets. They eat
an enormous amount Of sugar cane,
molasses and raw sugar. Yet these
people have particularly fine teeth.
Whatever other injuries sugar may
be capable Of doing to the human
system, it is very certain that. it does
not do any injury to the teeth.
