Uncle Not the Prize-vvinner

Through the Review of Reviews, Baron d'E,stour-
nelles de Constant, distinguished French states
man, sends an earnest message to America il,
which, amongst other things, he says
Nov see the great difference between ythe new
world and the DID, The United States is free, Eu-
rope is not The United States has proven that war
can be avoided
OF course, the United States has not proved any
such thing. In approximately century and quar-
ter the United States has had the War of the Revo-
luton, War of 1872 Mexican war, Civil war, Spanish
war, Philippine war, war at Vera Cruz-a war about
every twenty years. To be sure, that Vera Cruz af
fair wasn't declared war; but if it wasn't war,
what was it?
Not only has the United States been unable to
avoid war; but it has had a taste of every sort of
war, from conquest and invasion to civil war.
Baron de Constants flattery of Uncle Sam is
sweet and soothing, but if he really wants shining
example of ability to avoid war; he might pick one
out Of the middle of the old world so-called-Swt-
zerland. Surrounded by france, Germany, Italy
and Austria, with all the chances for fight which
that means, it is Switzerland, not Uncle Sam, that
deserves the peace prize. incidentally, it may be
remarked that Switzerland probably has more able
bodied trained fighters in proportion to population,
than any other nation on earth.

The Pope's Success

Through the gloom of a ray of the
blessed sunshine The pope has persuaded all of the
important belligerents, save France to agree that
prisoners of war who are seriously wounded that
they cannot return to the fighting shall be sent back
to their native countries 1t is estimated that this
viii result in the repatriation of nearly 100000 men,
Germany, England Austria, Russia, Servia and
Turkey agree to this in spirit of mercfuness but
there is much more in it.

Did you ever see juggler juggle j cannon ball, a
bottle and q scrap Of paper9
II is most interesting and thrilling performance!
How wonderful to see him keep them all in the air
It the same time describing their separate arcs Of
motion; two Of them colliding none falling to the
floor
What if the bottle should hit the cannon ball and
be shattered in the face of the intrepid performer!
What If the cannon ball or the bottle should strike
the bit of paper and send it uterng off into space!
1t never happens The exhibition ends as dexter
ously as it begins.
/ But there is poor little man in New York who is
suffering great misery because he tried to juggle
three women in just the above-described manner.
This man in New York is lawyer. He had df-
yorced wife, whom we will call the cannon ball; a
wife, whom will call the bit of paper; mistress,
whom we will call the bottle. He had them all
"going" beautifully He used to pay call at the
apartments of the cannon ball and the piece of pa
per- the place where he had installed the bottle he
called home There were two children there
But, my goodness, a man who can keep one woman
up in the air and not lose her is a wonder!
You've probably read what happened to this chap
who tried it with three. There was a collision right
in the middle Of the performance the other day The
bottle was smashed the cannon ball dropped to the
floor with thud and rolled into some secluded cor
ner, the scrap of paper floated away to resting
place.
The man means over his misadventure Two wo-
men are horror stricken at the parts they have played
in the CHASTITY tragedy The third faces DEATH with
one of her children, the result of poison she adj
ministered. The other child has died.
Some men are better jugglers than others But
there's no man so good at the game that he doesn't
face catastrophe when womens hearts are the things
he juggles.
What a lot of men have learned this lesson, ndi-
vidualy! And how impossible it seems for the vain
and foolish being called to learn it, collectively!

WANTED-A GENUINE
FIREPROOF MATERIAL
Writer Describes Resisting Sub
stances Which Have Been
Tested.

The demand for building materials
that are not affected by fire has re-
suited in many experiments by manu-
facturers with all kinds of materials
which have given the slightest hope
for attaining d genuine fireproof ma
terial for construction, says the Ma
tional Builder. The only material thus
far discovered that has successfully
withstood all tests is a peculiar rock
known as asbestos. This rock generally
runs in veins parallel to the grotlnd, in
various thicknesses, from a mere line
to three or four inches. Some of the
veins reach a depth of 200 feet, but this
Is extremely unusual. For mining,
after the surface of the earth has been
removed. the rock is drilled and blast
ed. like granite or any other stone.
Deposits Of asbestos are found to a
limited extent in Russia, Italy, Egypt
India, South Africa and all over the
world, but that which is mined in Can
ada is about all that is of great COM
mercial value. other kinds being either
too brittle to utilize or too hard to mine
successfully. The Canadian rock, when
properly worked, produces long. silken
flbers. which are manufactured into

SAVE YOUR TREES
They Add to Attractiveness and
Comfort of Home, Writer Declares.

1t is rare case when we cannot
give the following admonition, says a
writer in the Minneapolis Journal.
Save all the trees possible on your
land. If tree insists on standing in
the way when you are building a road,
let your road take way around. Even
tree left standing at the side of a
road or in the sidewalk may add pic
turesqueness to the land. which in
itself in an attraction to buyers.
If the land bordering the road in a
residential tract is thickly wooded,
trees may not be needed in the plant
ing strip. Indeed, leaving all planting
out of the street tends materially to
widening its appearance. 1t is usually,
however. a good idea to plan for street
trees. Their presence makes for cool
ness and comfort and the general at
tractiveness Of the region.
Forty feet apart is the best distance
for street trees and safe one to fol-
low. Planting at closer distance gives
the trees scant room for mature de-
velopment. 1t Is also more expensive
for the real estate man. Trees may be
planted opposite each other, If the
distance between trees on opposite
sides of the street is forty feet. Should
the distance be less, the trees had best
be .'staggered''-that is. placed alter
nately.

As the walls occupy such a large pro-

AN ARTIFICIAL WOOD.

The mythical New Englanders who

itself in trying to invent artificial wood.
When forests were thought of as mex

were invented and newspapers. and wood

Use Secondhand Bricks.

It has not been necessary to burn
brick on a large scale in the Euphrates
and Tigris valley during the last 1000
years. says Rock Products. In the first
place there has been little fuel available
for that purpose. and In the second place
the region has sunk so low in civiliza-
tion and has been so greatly devastated
by wars that the Inhabitants have been
discouraged from erecting large build
ings. But those who have put up houses
have simply dug the necessary bricks
where ancient cities formerly stood.
This has been going on FOR 1000 years.
