Value of Slate.

Slate has long been recognized as
a most valuable roofing material, not
only for its wearing qualities, due
to the fact that it is non-absorbent
stone and therefore does not admit
the factors of decay, but also because
Of its architectural value in lending
itself to the development of various
and attractive color schemes, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nature did
not handicap slate beds by forming all
Of them in one color. Here 1t is Law
ished red, there unfading green or
purple and yonder the coal black or
rustic gray.
OF late the public agitation over
the matter of fire prevention, brought
forcibly home by such stupendous
losses as we have suffered in the con-
f1agrations at San Francisco, Chi
cago, Chelsea and Salem, has brought
emphasis on the fireproof qualities OF
slate. All over fire chiefs are calling:
Give us fireproof roofs and the con-
flagrational hazard will be reduced
to a minimum" When building codes
heed their cry slate roofs will help
solve the fire problem.

Girls as reIeoraph MESSENGERS.

mittee announces that it has arranged

Der of girls as telegraph messengers
in suburban post offices, and it invites
large firms hitherto employing boy
labor to make similar experiment.
1t is pointed out that the placing OF
boys in good situations presents no
difficulty. There were but recently
249 boys seeking employment and 306
employers seeking boys, this being a
complete reversal of the state OF
things a year ago. On the other hand,
there were 80 vacancies in the girls
department and 455 applicants for
them. The problem presented by these

Tobacco and the War.

Much as the man in the trenches
would like to smoke, he cannot smoke
nearly so many cigars and cigarettes
as he would at home. War has cut
down very heavily the tobacco bill OF
all Europe.
Uncle Sam is one of the biggest to-
bacco statesmen on earth, but since
the fighting began our sales of the
weed have fallen a quarter. Measured
by our exports, the soldiers at the
front are saving $4,000 a day on
American tobacco alone.
In the grand economy of things this
reduction of the smoke bill weighs but
a trifle against the destruction else
where. 1t profiteth little to save dol
lar on tobacco and squander hundred

Famous Greek Dishes.

Smyrna under Turkish misrule has
been in serious danger of getting silted
up and left far inland, like ancient
Ephesus. This would be doubly dis
astrous for the Greeks, who form the
vast majority Of Smyrna's population,
because they might thereby be de-
prived not only of Smyrna but of a
favorite delicacy, cuttlefish. The blood
curdling curse called down by the
chorus in the "Acharnians" upon "the
meanest of poets and meanest Of
men," that a dainty dish of octopus.
for which he had been eagerly wait
ing, might be snatched from him by a
dog, would be as quickly appreciated
by modern Smyrniote Greeks as by
the original audience of Aristophanes.
When well beaten to make the fish
tender before being dressed, and then
cut into small pieces and served with
a savory brown stew, a cuttlefsh
makes dish by no means to be de-
spised. The jaded epicure who pinned
for a new animal" should have gone
to Greek restaurant in Smyrna and
ordered stewed cuttlefish, followed by
roast Observation-Disclosures Guar

To Prevent Files.

II, as a certain French scientist
claims, flies dislike the color blue, 1t
might pay to paint the kitchen walls
h vivid cerulean as an experiment. 1t
has been said that flies do not rise
above the second floor, but by actual
observation a fly has been seen to rise
nearly fifty feet and the writer has
been bothered with them on the eighth
noor of an office building where they
were almost too numerous to have
made their way up in the elevator.
Housewives should burn all refuse as
soon as possible, or at least keep the
lid tightly over the garbage can.
1t does not keep out flies to leave
one window unscreened even II all the
rest are protected and all screens
should be put up before the first May
hot spell The only way to keep flies
out is to prevent their getting In in
the first place, as killing the intruders
does not destroy the microscopic eggs

Philosophy at the Front.

War, apparently, is great trainer
in eligibility for the Don't Worry
club.
Owen Johnson, back from the
French lines, reports that 'the prin-
cipal occupations of the soldiers when
not in the trenches are eating and
sleeping-not worrying about the war.
A visitor in France hears more hearty
laughter in an hour at the front than
In a week behind the lines"
Soldiers must take things as they
come and give little thought to what
is coming if they would be anything
but absolutely miserable. That neces-
sity is mother of the philosophy
which takes little thought of the NOR
row or the next minute.-Buffalo En-

Instructions SOUGHT.

Everybody" observes New York
woman, knows one or more of those
conscientious egoists who cannot rid
themselves of the notion that no one
can be trusted to carry out the sim
plest details of routine work without
their personal supervision.
1T was one of this sort who went
West, leaving in his brothers care a
parrot of which he was very fond.
All the way out he worried about the
bird, and at Chicago he sent his broth
er the following telegram:
Be sure to feed the parrot
"Whereupon the brother tele-
graphed back:
Have fed him, but he is hungry
again. What shall l do next?"

EuoenIe and the Crinoline.

Empress Eugene should feel
interested in the threatened revival
of the crinoline, for she helped to drive
this monstrosity out Of fashion. I'm
January, 1852" writes chronicler OF
nineteenth century modes, when
crinolines had reached their largest
circumference, the papers throughout
Europe reported that Empress Eu-
genie had appeared at a court ball
without crinoline. This was an event
which completely overshadowed Ma
poleon's famous New Year speech to
the Austrian ambassador. In the au-
tumn of the same year, when invita-
lions were being issued for Com
piegne, the empress spoke the word
No crinoline! Shortly afterward Queen
Victoria also abjured the crinoline,
and her example was followed by the
empress of Austria" Those were
days when benevolent despotism was
the fashion.
