Fire Lando.

The phrase fire lands" originated In
q passage Of early history, which also
gave rise to the term western re-
serve" After the Revolutionary war,
when the colonies consented to cede
their claims to western lands to con-
gress, Connecticut reserved from her
cession a tract embracing a large part
Of northern Ohio. The tract thus re-
served included the present counties OF
Trumbull, Geauga, Portage and Ash
tabula and became known as the west
ern reserve. 1t was settled chiefly by
amigrants from Connecticut and was
sometimes called New Connecticut.
In promoting the settlement OF the
land Connecticut reserved half a mil
lion acres from the western end Of the
.ract for bestowal upon her citizens
who had suffered losses during the
war. and the lands embraced in this
special reserve were called sufferers
lands" and later "fire lands" because
most Of the sufferers had been losers
by fire. In carly times the phrase "fre
lands" was sometimes used In deeds
in describing the location OF land In
the tract referred to. - Philadelphia

Porpoise law Oil.

Practically all the porpoise oil used in
this country. even If not in the world.
for lubricating watches and other deli
cate instruments is made near New
Bedford, Mass, which many years ago
was important as whaling port. The
product is taken from the jaw and GER
tain other parts Of the animal, which
Is caught especially for this purpose.
When the industry was in its infancy
whalers were depended upon to supply
the porpoise, but now the manufactur-
ers maintain fishing department,
which follows the schools Of porpoise
migrating along the coast and furnish
es continual supply Of them. The
history Of the New Bedford industry
reaches back to the early part Of the
nineteenth century to watch tinker

St.la FRIGHT.

Stage fright, If I may encourage star
tied readers. does not appear to have
affected William Cobbett, whose maid
en- speech In the house Of commons
must have been one Of the most aston
ishing performances that even that
seasoned assembly had ever listened to.
Here is the opening sentence: ut ap-
pears to me that since have been sit
ting here / have heard Il great deal or
vain and Improbable talk" BY way
of contrast, we have the case OF Glib
son Craig, whose ubortive eloquence,
ON his introduction to parliamentary
life, was thus described by Disraeli:
Gibson Craig. Of whom the Wings had
hopes, rose, stared like n stuck pig and
said nothing. Ills friends cheered, he
stammered. All chccred; then there
was dead and awful pause, and then
he sat down. and that was his per,

chs.tersield on 1oothbrushes.

When did the English first adopt the
toothbrush habit? In "Esmond" Thack-
cray makes Lord Castlewood spend "a
tenth part Of his day in the brushing of
his teeth and the oiling Of his hair" and
In doing so the novelist commits dou-
BILE anachronism. During the first half
of the eighteenth century all fine gentle
men wore wigs and had no use for oil
on their hair, while the toothbrush was
so late as 1854 unknown to Lord Ches-
terrified. Writing to his son, Chester
field says: II hope you take great care
of your mouth and teeth, and that you
clean them well every morning with a
sponge and tepid water, with few
drops of arquebusade water dropped
into 1t. do insist upon your never
using those sticks, or any hard sub
stance whatever, which always rub
away the gums and destroy the var
nish Of the teeth. "-London Graphic.

etterhead Of western village improve
ment association, Is excellent advice.
What fine things large personal &c
ouaintapce can do for us, provided We
are worthy of 1t! Let US put aside
any petty dislike, engendered perhaps
by fancied faults in other people, and
90 ont and shake hands with neigh
bors whom we probably have never
really known. Let US talk over our
common problems with them; discuss
the welfare of our community, the
state. the nation, SO that we may all
have a better understanding of our
common hopes and aims. All this
pays. Its returns come not alone In the
help We can be one to the other, but
in the greater discernment with which
our personal business can be conduct
ed, and In the better feeling and prog
ress that follows in a town or city
where oil are working for the common
good.-Countryside Magazine.

In Defense Of Conscience.

The meanest thing ever said about
conscience were the words put into
Hamlet's mouth by William Shake
speare: "Thus conscience does make
towards Of us all."
This remark has caused many people
to believe that conscience was nothing
but n coward maker, and consequently
they have refused to have anything to
do with 1t. Never was anything more
unjust. Shakespeare's assertion Is true
only on the assertion that We are all
sinners. To be fair, he should have
said Thus conscience does make cow
ards Of all Of US who have sinned or
who are about to SIM" Then he would
have been more In agreement with Sol
onion, who was wiser. and who said,
The wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth, but the righteous are as bold
Us q lion."-Life

loXa Of Money.

The love Of money can hardly be the
root of all evil, for 1t Is only one per-
verse passion out of many. But there
is kind Of decorum about money
which makes the love Of 1t peculiarly
dangerous, since it conceals from the
lover the nature and effects Of his pas
sion. If man wants too much food,
he Is evidently greedy. If woman
wants too many clothes, she is evident
ly vain. But money is not thing, like
clothes or food, that can be enjoyed by
Itself. It is only means Of getting
things that can be enjoyed, and so
greed for money is not direct greed,
but indirect. 1t is civilized means Of
conducting the struggle for life, which
to a great extent cOnceals from those
who use 1t the ugliness and the animal
nature of that struggle. 1t Is, In fact,
a kind of diplomacy, politely conduct
ed, behind which there is war. But the
diplomats often do not see the war

Curious Old Drink Theory.

baronet, lone Of his doctors told me

WATER MAIN BREAK
DRENCHES SUBWAYS
10000 Gallons Trickle Into

A twelve-inch cut-out connecting
with a twenty-inch water main beneath
Forty-third Street and Seventh Ave
nue. burst last night Just about the
time people were going home from the
theatres 1t took until midnight for
engineers from the Public Service Com
mission and Superintendent e. H..
Clark. of the Holbrook. Cabot & Rob-
bins Corporation. which is construct
ing that part Of the new Seventh Ave
nue. subway. to shut off the water.
About 10000 gallons had escaped
and was trickine around beneath the
street level. Some of il got into the
old subway at the Times Square Sta
tion and gathered in pools on the
downtown tracks. II came slowly. and
Interborough officials anticipated no
difficulty from it. The sub-cellars Of
the Times Building and other struct-
ures near by also got wetting.
The most serious danger was that
the water would undermine the sup
ports Of the planking which paves Sew
enth Avenue above the new subway
and compel a discontinuance of traffic
and possibly cause cavern.
When the flow was finally shut off
the water was about knee deep in the
