"sNow FIGHTING"

This is the name which has been
given new method Of keeping the
streets of New York clear OF snow
recently adopted by the street clean
ing department Of that city. 1t con-
sists in sweeping the streets clean
Of the snow as fast as it falls. in
stead of waiting until the storm is
over. AT a glance, this would seem a
laborious task, necessitating doing
over and over the same area, but it
has been estimated to be much the
cheapest and most efficient where a
large force Of men is available The
greatest advantage in the method is
that the sewers of the city may be
used to carry off the snow as it falls,
while il no work is done until the
storm is over, all Of the snow must
be carted away.
The new method will also enable
the street cleaning force to have the
streets entirely cleared of snow with
in few hours after the storm is
over. 1t is estimated that It requires
an average Of 1853 hours to clear the
streets of New York after a heavy
snowfall, by the old method; while,
by the new it is believed that the
streets will be clean within four hours
after the snow stops falling. The cost
Of the new method is estimated to
be about $4,000 per million square
yards cleared, as against about s22,-
600 by the old method.

LEAD.


The English lead pencil industry,
which is receiving notable impetus
through the war, dates back to the
early half of the eighteenth century,
when plumbago-which hitherto had
served mainly for the manufacture
of shot and crucibles-was first used
for writing purposes. All the black
lead used in pencil making then came
from Searthwaite, which enjoys the
double distinction of being the rain
lest village in the British Isles, and
of being the only place in the world
where pure plumbago may be found.
This mine yielded huge fortune to
the Bankes family. who owned it, the
output in 1878 amounting to thirty
one tons of pure plumbago, which
realized f105,000 Twenty years la
ter, foreign graphite began to take
the place of plumbago in pencil max
ing, and in 1850 the Seathwaite mine
was closed down.-London Chronicle.

COMPENSATORY.


A New Yorker tells of a young
Irish couple in his employ, not long
come from the "ould counthry.'
Shortly after their arrival the young
wife, ambitious for learning, entered
a night school, since her duties per-
mitted of that.
One evening, when she returned to
the servants hall from school, the
husband asked:
"An phwat are ye learning now,
Molly?"
"Tonight," said Molly, thinking to
have bit of fun with Malachi, ito
night the teacher read to us about
the laws Of compensation"
Compensation? What's that?"
"It's hard to explain, but it's some
thing like this: II your sense of
smell is poor, the sense of taste is all
the sharper; and if you are blind, you
can hear all the better"
Malachi reflected. "Sure," said he,
"T see. It's loike this: For example
if man is born wild wan leg shorter
than the other, the other is longer"

100 HORSEPOWER TRACTOR.

There were 10000 people in attend
ance at the Power Farming demon
stration at Fremont, Neb., this year
They came from twenty-seven diff
fcrent states and were practically all
farmers who were interested in pow
er farming, as is shown by the fact
that tractors were sold on the
grounds into fifteen different states.
The smallest plow on the grounds
was two bottom, and the largest
was twentyfour bottom 14-lnch
plow. This was used with the big
100 horsepower tractor, which is the
property of the Austrian government,
but which the manufacturers are un-
able to deliver on account of the war.
The amount of horsepower that
could be exerted by all the machines
on the demonstration grounds at one
time was 1000. With the plows they
pulled, these machines were capable
of blowing in one 10-hour day 750
acres, s inches deep.

Honest John" is the greatest
four-flusher the state ever produced
in way of public man. He played
the game successfully by benefiting
through election frauds, then resign
ed to escape being ousted by the
house of representatives and because
of this four-flushing was taken up
and elected governor when he fooled
the people four years through what
are known as "Shafroth policies"
wherein he burdened the taxpayers
with every kind of board and bureau
where it was possible to place po-
litical henchman, thereby landing him
in the United States senate, where
he is again playing the game. Four
flushing wins for a time and "Hon-
est John" is an adept at the game,
but the time is coming when the eyes
of Coloradoans will be opened to the
truth that this man has been holding
only four hearts and spade.

into the insurance business, that pro-
viding that the government should
write war risk insurance when pri-
vate corporations would not under
write business at reasonable terms.
This has proved 4 great boon to ship
ping since the outbreak of the war.
Congress made two distinct appro-
priations to bring stranded American
citizens home from war-stricken Eu-
rope.
Another emergency war measure
was that sweeping aside the tariff
duties and other restrictions which
had hitherto prevented the placing OF
foreign built ships under the Ameri.
can flag. The same measure also
lodged with the president discretion
to waive the restrictions regarding
all the officers Of such ships being
American citizens, thus laying the
foundation during the war for an
American merchant marine, which
would carry American products
abroad regardless Of the war condi-
tions.
Congress also so amended the Aid.
rich-vreeland emergency currency act
during the early days of the war, but
before the federal reserve banking
system had gotten into operation, as
to make that workable, and it was
availed Of for the first ime since its
passage, years before. The senate
passed cotton warehousing bill dur.
ing the early days Of the war, pro-
viding for government inspection ant
supervision of the warehouses, bui
this was lost in the house. A tire.
mendous fight to have the govern.
ment buy cotton from the southern
planters at 10 cents a pound was de.
feated and the bill voted down.
Another result Of the war, and fol
its cutting down Of imports from for.
eign countries, with accompanying
reduction in the tariff duties, was
the war tax bill. This measure, pro.
viding for the raising Of more thar

THAT BREAKFAST SMILE.

II dinner smile is worth a dol
lar, breakfast smile is surely worth
two, for then the need is more than
twice as great, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. In many homes breakfast
is a disordered rout, with time in
hot pursuit. 1t is merely an inter
ruption in the flight from bedroom
to office, school or shop. And where
haste is the rule it is no wonder that
facetious witicisms fly thick and
true, and that things are said which
cause unpleasant recollections when,
an hour later, the day is in full swing
and the mind has lost its abnormal
sensitiveness. Happily, the haste
that engenders satirical gibes also
serves to mitigate their severity, and
by the time the family is assembled
for the next menu, much that was
said at breakfast is forgotten. But
not all of it. A chance remark ut
tered without thought is very likely
to open an old wound and send some
member of the family about his bust
ness with crouch that will make
his day one of pain to him and his
associates.
1t is this occasional shift that con-
dennis the whole petty annoyances
at breakfast time. One way to avoid
it is to get up ten minutes earlier.
This affords time for leisurely dress
ing and an opportunity to put the
mind in order. Another, and a bet
ter way, is to rise with song on
your lips Let it be rancous droak,
sadly out of tune, if you can do no
better, but be sure that it is a merry
song. And for the person who has a
strong mind and modicum of will
power there is the simple plan Of re-
solving to be pleasant. But what
ever the scheme, its success will bring
new and fresher outlook to the ex-
perimenter. Nor will it affect him
alone.

There Is u settled and assured fu-

In the December Strand. There is
darkness and trouble IL we lose. But
If We take q broader sweep and trace
The meanings Of this contest as they
sffect others than ourselves, then
even greater, more glorious, are the
issues for which we fight. For the
whole world stands at tuvning point
Of its history, and one n other of
two opposite principles, the rule VI

musi now prevail. In this sense we
fight for the masses of the German
people, as some day they will under
stand. to free them from that form
liable military caste which has used
and abused them, spending their bod
les in an unjust war and which could
inflame them against those who wish
nothing save to live at peace with
them. We fight for the strong, deep
Germany Of old, the Germany Of mu-
sic and philosyphy, against his mon-
strous modern alteration, the Ger
many Of blood and of iron, the Ger
many from which, instead of the old
things Of beauty, there comes to US
anIy the rant of scolding professors
with their final reckonings, their
welt-politik, and their Goddess the

above morality, and to whom all hu-
manity shall be subservient. Instead
Of the world-inspiring phrases of a

A general census of Belgian refu-
gees in England has been ordered
that King Albert's cabinet may know
where the Belgian subject to mill
tary service are quartered. 1t has
been estimated that 10000 Belgians
of military age came to England. The
employment of Belgians in England
has raised many stubborn questions.
Relief committees have not encour-
aged Belgians to accept employment
where they would compete with Eng
lish labor and there has been stud
led effort on the part Of English COM
mittees throughout the island to pre-
vent Belgians from accepting low
err wage than that ordinarily paid
to Englishmen or Englishwomen. In
France the refugees have almost in
variably found employment especially
the men Of all ages. The Frenchmen
have nearly all gone into the service
with the result that Belgians who
have any knowledge of railroading,
bridge building, electrical construc-
tion or engineering work of any sort
are instantly put to work. Some Bel
gians have been leaving England for
the United States but they are chief
ly older men and women who former
ly lived in America and have rel
atives and friends there. There has
been no large movement of Belgians
toward America, as yet, and no OBJ
lection has been raised to their de-
parture from England where they had
papers showing who they were and
what their reasons were for leaving.
Domremy, the village in the vos-
ges where Joan of Arc was born, con-
tinues to attract the visitors. They
go to the cottage of the heronie, not
merely through curiosity, but to reg
lister wish that the Germans be
driven out Of France. This has been
the prayer Of all those who have been
to Domremy since the beginning of
the war and who have registered at
the little home.
From \ song German troops are
singing: "For every Briton a kick,
for every Russian a shot, for every

There seems to be no falling off
in the demand for new ships by Eng
land. Further orders have been plac-
ed for new steamers in the Clyde and
northwest coast yards. The orders
for Clyde yards are said to be eleven
steamers aggregating $4,000 tons in
cluding = passenger steamer for the
Atlantic trade Of 10000 tons. The
northwest coast yards are asked to
supply about twelve cargo steamers
and two oil-carrying vessels. Steel
makers are reaping rich harvest
