NECKTlE HALTED A ROMANCE
Lovers Who Had Been Apart for
Forty Years Made Up When Man
Wore Woman's Present.

Forty years ago John Emmons and
Charity Timmons of Bislhopville, Del,
were twenty years old and sweet
hearts. With her own hands Miss
Timmons made a necktie as gift for
her young gallant. The evening Of
the day he received it Emmons put it
on. He didn't like the colors and re-
placed it.
AS usual, he visited Miss Timmons
that evening, according to a Selby-
vile Oel) dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. 1t was nice summer
night. The moon revealed that he
was not wearing loves token and Miss
Tmmons demanded the reason.
"It's too loud" replied the youth.
DO you mean you will never wear
it? Then you don't love me- sobbed
the girl, and she went into the house.
That apparently was the end of the
romance. Emmons went to Portland.
Ore, and prospered. AS the owner of
a big department store in the far
Northwestern city, he returned to
Bishopville last Christmas for visit
1t was inevitable that he should
,, meet his former sweetheart in the vii
lage. Soon each learned that the old
love would not die; that each had con-
sidered the other the only mate and
that neither had married.
Of course, Emmons proposed. Miss
| Timmons did not refuse him, but she
| bought a tie as nearly like the one
that started all the trouble as she
| coulG find Then, when he wore it
| without finching, she coyly murmured
| 'yes" And so they were married the
other evening.

Be Square With Yourself.

The habit of making excuses to your
self and accepting them will soon
undermine your intellectual stamina
and begin TO sap your moral fiber.
Be square with yourself at least.
Tell yourself the truth, and take no
excuses whatever
List your faults and your failures,
and blame yourself for them. List
your bad habits. and try to get rid
of them. Admit that it was Incidence
that made you let Il job so over till
1t was too late to do 1t, and bad tenn
per and not bad health that made YOU
peevish with people who had a right
to expect cheerfulneSs and courtesy
from you
Be your own severe but just judge
Make no excuses and take none. And
you will soon find that you will need
to make none, for you will have no
derelictions to excuse.-John Blake in
the Chicago Daily News

In the big desert of Chile there is
q considerable amount of brackish
water, but no water that either hui
man beings or stock can drink
Science, however. has come to the aid
of the rainleS section Of the coun-
try in the form of an ingenious desert
vaterworks, consisting of Il series of
frames containing 10000 square feet
of glass. The panes of glass are ar
ranged In the shape, of Y, and IN
der each pane is a shallow pan con-
tanning hrackish water. The heat of
the sun evaporates the water, which
condenses upon the sloping glass and,
made pure by this operation, it runs
down into little channels at the bot
tom Of the Y and rs carried away into
the main canal. 1t is said that nearly
a thousand gallons of fresh water is
collected daily by this means.

Results of Hybrid Mating.

Here is strange set of facts, prov
en- by three different investigators In
three different parts of the world at
three different times.
In natings of se-called pure" races
that is to say, Engiishman with Eng
lish woman, Frenchman with French
woman, German with German woman,
etc, 1O454 more males are born than
females.
In hybrid matings, that Is to say, OF
different nationalities, there is more
significant excess of male over female
births.
In matings of United States whites
the ratio Is about the same as that OF
European hybrids-
In matings of United States colored
folks there is a significant excess OF
females over the ratio Of British West
Indian colored who are relatively pure
. bred.

PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL
Flew Method, Said to Have Originated
in Russia, May Result in ReIiev-
ing Shortage.

A new method of drying turf to re-
'lieve the serious fuel shortage in Fin
land has been put in operation in yarl-
Gus Scandinavian countries. The new
method was invented by engineers
working under orders from the Rus
sian soviet government, to find q more
llabor-saving method of preparing turf
as fuel Tor the great central power sta
ton near Moscow, the process being
made known in Finland through an es-
Gaping engineer. The fundamental
principle OF the process is quite sim
pie. The raw turf in the swamp, by a
powerful JET of water under a pressure
of 70 atmospheres, is freed from all
old roots and changed to thin mud.
This is pumped out on drying field
and spread in layers. When sufficient
| Il dry it is cut into bricks of uniform
size by means of q tractor. The turf
pump is constructed like an ordinary
/ water turbine, is reversible with aid Of
electric motor, is equipped with cut
ting apparatus which completes the
work of the water jet, and can be
4 raised or lowered as the surface of the
.nuh varies. The entire equipment is
n1ounAad ON car which can be pushed
forward or backward on rails along the
lline<of work.-Scientific American.
