Let me give you a picture of a
French peasant saving wood. He
takes an ordinary buck saw, stands
it on end and steadies it with his
feet, grasps the stick of wood to be
sawed firmly in his hands and draws
it back and forth across the saw.
1t looks as if he were pumping a
hand car.

garbs and sabots wooden shoes

How They Get Shoes

A French officer tells the follow
ing story: Good boots are scarce
in the army. His orderly came up
on the body of a Prussian who had
fallen in an advance. The orderly
saw the boots and decided to possess
them. He Strengthened out the
body and proceeded to pull off the
boots. AS he was doing so, the
body Strengthened itself up and
shouted. The orderly did not stop
running until he reached the rear
lines and then he declared, "You
can't trust these damned Prussians
even when they are dead" The
Frenchman vouched for the forego-
ing as true, but the next he only
gave as perhaps true. One of the
French soldiers appeared with a
fine pair of boots which he had
taken from dead German. A COM

The following extract from
financial letter published by one
of the largest bonding companies
in the United States, gives very
optimistic view of the financial con-
ditions after the war in this coun-
try:
That.there must be some disrup-
ton to the business of the country
in passing from war to a peace
basis seems inevitable just as the
passing from peace to war basis
temporarily disorganized business,
but the change will be less revolu-
tionary and drastic and will be more
easily accomplished and more heart
lily entered into. Farm products
will remain high in price for at
least two years after the close of
the war which will insure the pros
peritv of the farming communities.
There will be an enormous amount
of work to lie done in building up
our railroads and the making Of
public and private improvements
that have had to be abandoned dur
ing the war period. A large
amount of material and equipment
will be required in building up the
devastated places in Europe, in fact
the whole world will be in need of
many things that have had to be
done without during the war, so
that it seems certain that there will
be an abundance of employment
for both labor and capital and the
period of readjustment should be
short. As a result of the war we
shall be vastly richer and will have
become creditor instead of a debt
or nation, and stronger commercial
ly in every way. and with our vast
shipping and manufacturing facili-
ties we should be able to take
much more prominent part in the
trade of the world than heretofore.

Last year the American people

Last year the American people
went to the extreme of raising one
of the largest crops of potatoes on
record. 1t is possible that this
year they will go to the other ex-
IRENE and the result will be short
crop. The old rule usually holds
good that high priced seed makes
cheap potatoes at harvest time so
with potatoes selling. at a very mod
crate price this spring, it is rea-
sonable to suppose the market will
be good next winter. Aside from
the purely financial aspect OF the
case, it will be good American doc
trine to plant the same acreage this
year as last or even enlarge on
your patch.
1t is stated on good authority
that last year the United States
produced 442, 100000 bushels of
potatoes and the year before 1885,
100000. 1t is estimated that the
normal demand is 100000, 900
bushels for food consumption and
seed for the following year. If we
fall short of this amount other food
products will have to be used to
make good the shortage. If there
was a good reason last year to plant
a big patch of potatoes there is I'M
doubtedly just as good reason this
year for doing so.

According to Mr.. Houdini, such -

logical value, tracing the HISTORY of
magic from the earliest pre-Christian
days to the present, with its elaborate
mysteries made possible by an ever
advancing science. A part Of each pro-
gramme would be devoted to demon
STATIONS of the tricks of these ancient
magicians. Less remote periods would
also be exploited.
one act would be given up to autom-

lection of these strange little mechan-
zeal figures includes, among the older
ones, vaulting figure made for Signor
flnettl, trapcze performer belonging
to the great Robert Houdni, and the
rope walker of Opre. the Holland me-
chanic who created many Of the most
Intricate of these manikins for the
older European magicians.
The blossoming orange tree Of

OF Plnchbeck, the crystal casket used
by Houdini, the first vanishing chair

would make it possible to vary the
programme with new delights Of mys-
terry almost every day.
This is not the first theatre of magic
to be established in this country. al
though none of the others has had so
wide scope. Kellar had his own theatre
in Philadelphia, known also as Egyptian
Hall, in which he sank many thou

marvels of the magician's art.
