and Sisters From Flames.

BAYFIELD,, WIS. = Paying with
blistered body, charred hair and smoke
b,ackened lungs for her heroism, the
little ten year old daughter of a farm
er named Talbert, is at Coruncopia, on
the south shore, recovering from in

children alone in the home, and in a
moment when unnoticed, one of the
youngest secured a box of matches
and began playing with them. The
result was as usual and almost before
the elder child was aware of it the
house was a raging furnace. The small
er children began running about and
it was with great difficulty that their
sister was able to get them together
and outside. The house was past saw

damage which amounts to more than
$159,OO0.
Two steel hoists of the c. Reiss coal

Sinhtinn the saroines.


The shoals of sardincs appear SUD.
denly along the Breton coast in June.
They come by millions. and the water
takes on a slaty tint from their pres
ence beneath the surface. This phe-
nomenon is awaited intently by thou
sands of fishermen, and when the cry
of Here they arer' goes up there is
as much excitement as is occasioned
by the whaler's shout of Thar she
blowsn' Each boat carries from three
to a dozen nets. Cod roe is cast out
as bait, and the average catch is
about 1000 each casting of the net.
When first drawn from their element
the sardines glitter like jewels, reflect
ing many colors, but they soon lose
their brilliant tints. Every village
along the coast has it's cannery, and,
as these are mostly individual enter
prises. there is much competition. The
sardine fisherman who does not own
a boat of his own seldom makes over
1000 francs, or about 5000, from his
labor of five or six months, and in
bad seasons his earnings are much less
than that.

BYRON on Dentists.

The profession of dentistry stood
higher in Byron's esteem than the pro-
fession of arms. In September, 1920,
on hearing that his favorite dentist
had died, Byron wrote to John Muir,
ray: ''The death of Waite is shock
to the teeth as well as to the feelings
of all who knew him. I left him in
the most robust health and little
thought of the national loss in so short
a time He was much superior to
Wellington in national greatness, as he
who preserves the teeth is preferable
to the warrior who gains name by
breaking heads and knocking out grind
ers. Who succeeds him? Where is
tooth powder, mild and yet eficacious:
where is tincture, where are clearing
roots and brushes now to be obtain
ed? / knew that Waite had
married, but little thought that the
other disease was so soon to over
take him."

less persistency Of our sturdy ancestors,
principally during the early part of the
eighteenth century. when some Of our
largest cities were founded.
In those days the ambitious builders OF
villages, towns and cities had to contend
with hardships and dangers which. for
tunately for us, have long since been
eliminated
Yet there are builders to-day who by
their initiative and courage are extend
ing the area of the citys residential ter
ritories to a degree never even dreamed
OF by the pioneers and builders OF earlier
times. Now, although our twentieth CEN
fury builders are unhampered by the
physical obstacles of wilderness condi-
tons and Indian warfare. the financial
risk involved in a large building opera
ton Is to-day so great. due principally TO
the greatly increased cost of building ma
terial. that the builder nowadays is en-
titled to fully as much praise as those
of whom history makes so much.
For instance, consider the evolution OF
all that vast territory contiguous to the
Sea Beach line OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit This territory comprises APP
proximately 1000 acres OF land. which
within the last ten years has been trans
formed from farm land 10 a thriving
suburban community OF some five thou
sand families To whom is the credit due
for this prosperous growth? To the
builders and developers, whose confidence
in the future expansion OF our cities has
led them to invest their time and their
capital in upbuilding section after section.
Take Mapleton Park. for example. This
is a great development along the Sea
Beach Line. consisting OF about sew
enty-hve acres on which the Alec
Building Company has erected some e9
private one-family houses. These We're
practically, all vacant four years ago. yet
to-day thereiis not a single completed
house unoccupied in Mapleton Park.
Prices have increased from $500 TO $500
on some streets and on 9th St. between
/ Twenty-frst and Twenty-second ayes.
the only remaining house is being held AZ
$500 although the other torty-nine
houses that comprise this block sold two
yearsmgo at $500 each.
The Immediate cause of this remarkable
enhancement (Which has taken place dur
ing the current YEAR, is the building OF
the four-track. sea Beach subway. which,
through its connection with the Broad
way subway I'm Manhattan. will bring
Mapleton Park within eighteen minutes
OF Park Row. This subway is promised
to operate early nsSt AIa4l, coming across
