came aboard the transport reviling my luck, says Robert Palfrey Utter In the Review. My locker and bed roll were in France and I had neg lected to bid them good-by; had nothing but musette and kit bag, in which had been living for a month. The limping old Mudjekeewis was the shabbiest tub in the service, slow. de void of comfort. Her engines took a day off every week. Her smoking room was given over to clacking type writers which manufactured colored tissue paper orders for the decoration of the main companionway. The white and-gold music room was no place for one who was constitutionally unable to derive selase from craps or poker. But when I discovered that the ships library had survived the ravages of war, began to see the hand of provi- dence. As reviewed the backs of the 5O-odd most respectable volumes in tough brown calf. my locker and bed roll fell from my back and began to tumble, and so continued to do" till thought of them no more. was free as air in spite of the livery wore. tossed a polished copy of "Mr. Mid shipman Easy" into my berth, cast off my shining greaves and brass-mount ed regalia. chinned myself on the T. Iron that ran across the top of the state room, swung my legs over the edge of the berth and dropped after them. I opened the port hole to the deck and the summer night, disposed tobacco and other necessities in the wall pockets. started the fire in a we'll crusted briar bowl, and forthwith was In company with an old friend whom had not seen for years-"By g o'clock that evening MT.

And after he had left her he knew he would have to come back again the next evening Ii she would let him.

Irish Travel Stops.

The tourist resorts of Ireland-the Lakes of Killarney and Glengarriff- have suffered greatly during the war and the resumption of normal condi- tons, with freedom of travel for pleas ure, will be required to bring back their old-time prosperity. So Queens. town and, to smaller degree, the city of Cork has been affected by the entire cessation of the extensive pas senger traffic to and from the United States. Queenstown was the princi- pal port for Irish emigration to the United States, and the change in that respect Is highly significant There are more young men in Ireland today than there were for very many years before the war. Emigration, which for the ten years ending March 1, 1911. averaged 38,8O8 from all Ireland. fell in 1917 to 2,111, and in 1918 to 98O natives of Ireland. Embarkation of emigrants and others from Queens town which amounted to 2O,S93 in 1913 and 21, 49O in 1914. stopped altogether in November, 1914.

Salt and Alkaline Rivers,

Many of the rivers in the world are far from being pure. There is salt river in Australia, and another in the Rio Salado, in the Argentine republic in South America. The Athabasca river of Canada has two important salt branches, one of which rises in natural salt spring, and the other has It's source in the Caribou noun tains, which contain vast deposits of salt rock. Another salt river, having its origin in a similar formation, is one of the tributaries of the Great Slave river. Many of the streams and lakes of eastern Oregon are strongly
 alkaline in character. The Rio de Vinagre-the Vinegar river-of New
 Granada, in Central America, Is sour from the sulphuric acid in the water.

WILL BE BOON TO INVALID independence, Comfort and ExsrcIss
 All Provided In New Chair Pro
 peIled by Electricity.

A new era of independence. comfort and exercise Is promised to invalids in an electrically propelled chair that Is now being made by a firm of surgi- cal engineers in London.
 In appearance 1t Is little more than very comfortable, luxuriously-sus- pended bath chair or invalid's car riage. The. propulsiye motion Is cleo tricity. It is silent. travels a distance of over twenty miles on single charge and has four speeds, ranging from a crawl up to five miles per hour.
 The control is said to be so sim- pie that any person, no matter with what disabilities. can sit in the car riage and start right away, and 1t is fitted with reverse on all speeds. It is only necessary to hold the steer ing lever with the left hand and gent ly push over the controller handle with the right hand. The use of the carriage renders an invalid independ ent of chair man or attendant, and the cost of upkeep is said to be trivial.
 Bead Superstition
 Alum beads esteemed to be an eni- caclous charm against the evil eye, were largely worn by children. and In town of Suffold, England, there is said to have dwelt a witch who pos sessed pair of ebony beads, stated to have come from the Holy Land, and to have been sanctioned at Rome. To her there repaired many a mother when her child was sick, In the hope that through the prayers of the ebony beads would be conjured away the evil spirit.

The earl of Portarlington, who was one of the first to volunteer for serv- ice during the railway strike in Eng land, relates the following story: A boy scout on duty at one of the Lon don termini, feeling the bangs of hun ger about eleven o'clock one morning. began a vigorous attack on a substan- tial lunch he had brought with him. A gentleman passing by was moved to remark: My boy, If you eat much now you won't have any appetite for your dinner" To which the smart little fellow replied: "Well, I guess if haven't any appetite shan't want any dinner" The gentleman had no more tO say

Snakes Friends of Farmer.

A correspondent who is interested in snakes as we'll as flowers and birds and the other more popular things in nature writes that he has gratifying success in locating snakes by merely listening for their rustling in the dry leaves. If ones ears are specially trained for snake noises there is no good reason why this method should not be really practical. Unquestionably the majority of wood wanderers are almost blind in this matter of snakes Unless we almost step on him we sell dom know that he Is lurking near at hand and remaining very still in the hope that he will not be noted. All our snakes are practically defenseless They are not only inoffensive and tim i'd creatures, but also highly useful friends Of the farmer. Possibly the baby snakes are in less danger than the adults. The little fellows are less conspicuous, and, as before noted, they can hide in very small refuges.
