oLDTlME SUNDAY.

Sunday was then essentially differ
ent from other days-you could tell
it without looking at the calendar.
The sun knew it and changed the
quality of his light; the very ami
mails, dogs and cats and horses, knew
it; and most of all the children knew
it, by Sunday school, by DR.. Gilman's
sermons, by a dizzy afternoon con-
nected in some of their minds with
ceramics and a lack of exercise, by
cold tea and by church bells. You
were not allowed to forget it for one
instant. The city suddenly became
full Of churches, as though they had
been magically let down from heaven
during Sunday night. They must
have been there on week days, but

Mother" Jones, the miners

interview in New York a mining
story she had brought back from the
Virginia coal fields.
"Therc was once a miners wife"
said Mother Jones, "who complained
about the paucity of her husbands
earnings. She imputed this paucity
to Incidence. She declared that if
she had a job down in the mines she
could earn more herself.
"The miner tried to explain to his
wife that mining didn't consist solely
Of digging coal-that there were a
lot Of other necessary operations that
ate up great deal of time.
"But his wife insisted that he
must be lazy SO he asked her by way
Of illustration, to do little mining
herself-to try to get the bricks out
from underneath the fireplace.
"She agreed. She fell to vigorous

CLAIM DISCOVERY OF VALUE
Scientists Believe "Micarta" VIII Take
the Place Of Glass and other
Substances.

A substitute for hard fiber, glass,
porcelain, hard rubber, built-up
mica, pressboard, rawhide and mold
ed compounds has been developed,
says the American Machinist. 1t is
known as "micarta" and is used for
commutator bushings and brush
holder insulation, noiseless gear
blanks, conduit for automobile wir-
ing, etc.
1t is a tan-brown, hard, homogene-
Gus material having a mechanical
strength about so per cent. greater
than hard fiber. 1t can readily be
sawed, milled, turned, tapped and
threaded, if sharp-pointed tool is
used and the work is done on a lathe.
1t can be punched only in thin
sheets and cannot be nodded.
'Micarta" is not brittle, and will
not warp, expand or shrink with age
or exposure to the weather; it takes
high polish, presenting a finished
appearance.
Two grades of the material are
made. The grade known as "maxel-
lite micarta" will stand a temperature
of 800 degrees Fahrenheit continu-
ously, or 500 degrees Fahrenheit for
a short time. 1t is infusible and viii
remain unaffected by heat.

WILL LIVE IN THE MEMORY
Return of scott's Ship to Prooaic
Work Its Best Disposition, One
Writer Thinks.

There is something peculiarly
British in the fact that SCOTS IA
nous ship is to return to sealing on
the Newfoundland Banks. There
are people who attribute this to a
lack of imagination, sentimental
people who think that the treasure
house of so many illustrious memo
ries should have a more spectacular
destiny. They would bespeak for
the ship some place where it would
be conspicuous as a monument to
Scott and the brave fellows who went
with him to their death.
But we feel that the right thing
has been done. There are certain
deeds of heroism that stand out the
greater in history because they were,
so to speak, accomplished as part of
the days work. 1t is when heroism
becomes a matter of course that the
superhuman is evolved. SCOTS ship
goes back to its sealing, to a peril
GUS calling which demands of those
who follow it qualities of logged grit
and patience that Scott himself
would have been proud of. Its return
is in keeping with the quiet glory
of the greatest incident with which
its name is lfhked.-Montreal Star.

BURIED TREASURE is SOUGHT
Minneapolis Workmen Find Coins in
Wrockins Aged House and May
Discover Fortune.

Minneapolis treasure on
the famous Elder" Stewart property
may be disclosed in the tearing down
OF the old frame buildings which have
stood for decades in the heart OF
downtown Minneapolis. Workmen
have found coins in the flooring so
frequently that 1t is believed they
have shaken from some place In the
walls OF the building.
ELDER" Stewart uied in Minneapolis
two years ago. He was an eccentric
millionaire: for fifty years he had
lived in little white house on the
corner OF Fourth street and Hennepin
avenue. proof against repeated attrac
tive offers for his property 1t was a
most desirable business location. His
shiny black coat and long white hair
and his miserly living were familiar
to the whole city. He lived alone In
the little farmhouse structure. refus-
ing to bulge before the city's business
life,. attacking on all sides.
Now the buildings are being torn
down and the finding Of the coins
leads to the belief the old "miser"
had hidden part Of his big fortune in
the property. Some of the coins al
ready found date back to colonial days
and others are more recent

STATE HELP FOR ROAD WORK
Wisconsin Highway Commission Re-
eelve Reports That Large Increase
In Fund Has Been Voted.

Full reports have been received by
the Wisconsin highway commission
OF the money voted for state aid road
and bridge construction in 1918. There
are 1,195 towns in Wisconsin. of which
S65 voted for state aid road construc
ton on 1,267 different pieces of road,
asking for state aid to the total
amount of $757,273. Two hundred and
five towns voted for the construction
of 337 bridges, a total amount OF
$107.754, which calls for $53.S77 state
aid. In all, SS3 different towns in 6s
counties voted for state aid. total
amount of $S65.027, calling for the
sum of $S11,15o in state aid.
These figures show very large In
crease. both In number of towns vot
ing and amounts voted, over last year
Last year ell towns voted total OF
$422,200 for roads, and 125 towns vot
ed $55,100 for bridges, in all. 532
towns in 65 counties calling for $452,
500 state aid in 1912.
: The state highway fund for 1918
work is $350.000. to which is added in
accordance with law, one-quarter OF
the net proceeds from the automobile
license of SIS per car, amounting to
about $4,000 This total sum OF
$37S, 900 is $433,1 less than the full
amount of state aid requested. Some
few counties will get the full state aid
requested, as the votes of the towns
were light. but about go of the coun
ties will get less than they asked for,
many of them getting less than one
fifth of the amount requested.
1t is hoped that some method will be
devised whereby the state may give
each town what it expected to receive
when 1t made Its appropriation, says
the Wisconsin Agriculturist. The
growth of the movement for better
roads in Wisconsin has been SO rapid
that legislation has not kept pace with
it. In 1907 permanent road construc
tion was practically nothing; in 1913
IL the state could pay it's full share. II
