 It gives reformers pause And starts them to discussing plans To fashion further laws. Old Satan's at the steering wheel,
 The motive powers gin And down they whirl, that boy and girl, Along the road of sin. The joy ride, the joy ride,
 It is a dreadful thing, And yet you can't ignore the fact
 That youth must have it's fling. Although I never venture on
 An early-morning whizz, hope, egad, it's not as bad

PEAT ,BOGS TO BE UTILIZED
Commercial Value of Immense Deposits in Northwest Germany Has Not
 Hitherto Been Realized.

The more or less successful install lations in northwest Germany for the utilization of the immense peat bogs that exist there has led to the Sug gestion in England that the huge bog of Allen in Ireland may next become a great center of industry. The Ger man undertaking has contemplated the bringing of large part of the bogs under cultivation, together with the conversion of the peat into fuel, to be employed in the development of electrical energy for agricultural purposes, as well as for supplying light and power to a number of towns situated within a radius of fifty miles. A network of canals is, it is reported, in process of formation to drain the ground, and the peat dredged out is to be utilized in the way just de- scribed. It is estimated that the gas produced from the peat will furnish work to the amount of 600 horse power hours for each ton, and a large quantity of ammonia will be recovered for use as ashingtOn Star.

They were the misshapen, distorted part of each baking and the manufacturers were glad to dispose of them. But finally a builder with an eye for the artistic noticed their colors, which ran from the natural red to odd browns and blues. He eXperimented and found they had an ancient appearance even when newly laid and, when capped by rough roof of off-colored slate carried distinct atmosphere of antiquity. AS a result, strange, queer ly attractive houses are appearing all through the country and brick "sec- onds" are quoted far above their per feet mates.-Wall Street Journal.

 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys: also to neutralize the of irritation. thus often ending bladder weakness.

Steel Has Great Cutting Power.

"liigh-speed steeP' for cutting tools has been well known for years, and an improved form of this material has been introduced in Sheffield, England. It is reported that this steel has four times the cutting power of any other in use. The composition is, it appears, still a secret. but it Is said to be the first "high-speed steer' that can be hardened in cold water without dan ger. It can also be hardened with oil or in a cold blast.
 Tools made of it wear out much less rapidly and require much less grinding than those of the older kinds of steel. They will also go on working at high temperature longer. But the makers themselves say that this steel does not by any means mark the final develop ment of "high-speed steel. ashing. ton Star

FOR THE EYES OF POSTERITY
Satisfactory Way Said to Have Been Found to Preserve Newspapers
 for Indefinite Period.

How to so pickle newspapers that they can be preserved indefinitely in the public libraries is a problem which has apparently been solved, according to the American Paper and Pulp asso- citation.
 Eight years of experimenting, par ticipated in by three big New York newspapers at a cost of $5,00O a year each, under the supervision of the New York public library,1 has taught librarians how to preserve for poster ity newspaper files. The solution seems simple being the mounting of each newspaper sheet between two sheets of thin Japanese tissue, shut ting the air from the original sheets, reducing it's legibility but slightly, and strengthening the page. Bound vol ames of the mounted pages are now in constant daily use, and are free from the wear and tear which de- stroyed the untreated newspapers.
 The New York experiments have been so successful that big Western newspaper has sent representatives to New York to study and adopt the practice for use there.
 The first investigation was made in Boston, and the library there tried to persuade the newspapers to print library editions on an extra paper, but the expense was too great. This is now done by a London paper, and was tried by Brooklyn paper, but the cost was prohibitive.
 In the New York experiments silk was first used, but the Japanese tis- sue was found the best for the pur- pose, as 1t dramatically sealed the newspaper pages from the air. Shel- laos, varnishes and other substances were tried, with little success. Under the method now in use the operator vets a glass or steelcovered table, lays down a sheet of tissue; with the pasting machine, rice paste Is put on, then in turn the newspaper page paste and tissue, when the page is dried and pressed under a gas-heated man. gle.

SEEN THROUGH ENGLISH EYES
Traveller Declares American Women SpIendidIy Domesticated and
 Versatile to High Degree.

An entertaining way for the Ameri- can woman to see herself as she is seen is to follow the comments made by the Manchester Guardians core spondent in America, Muriel Harris:
 In her home the American woman is domestic almost in the German sense There is no handing over the kitchen entirely to the cook, for instance. There is no hard-and-fast line which leaves this to the maid and that to the mistress. Domestic crises are more frequent even than in England, but when they occur it is no special tragedy, because the mistress of the house is practically always able to fill in the gap without shaking the founda tiOns of the household. American women can nearly all of them cook and sew and do anything in the house from managing the furnace to seeing that the electric fuses are in order.
 In our sense, shp is far more domes- ticated and less well educated than is the European girl. The rather casual education of the girl gives full play to any versatility she may have, and there are, correspondingly, brilliant flashes in her, as also unexpected fall ures. To the foreigner, it is odd to see her scrubbing her own sink-a very nice white sink, by the way-and at tending assiduously lectures on French all with the same enthusiasm. It completely dispels the idea of the luxury-loving, restless woman that in Europe she is commonly regarded as being.

Wedding Customs in Serbia

Curious wedding customs stll survive in some parts of Serbia. In some dis. tricts the brides father requires that certain conditions must be fulfilled be- fore the gates of the courtyard are opened to the bridegroom and his friends. He may send a good wrestler to challenge any or every man of his prospective son-in-law's party, and one of the wedding guests must overpower the challenger before the gates are opened.
 Another condition which is some times imposed is that the newcomers are not to be admitted before one of them by firing his pistol, has destroyed a pot or other terra-cotta vessel fast ened at the top of the chimney.
