One of the modern methods of dis- posing of garbage is to burn it. In England experiments have been made, in the interest of economy, with the immediate utilization of the heat thus produced. Steam engines and dyna- mos for electric lighting have been as- sociated with garbage ‘destructors.” Lord Kelvin evinced great enthusi- asm over and confidence in this prop- osition three or four years ago. The latest development of the idea has possibly been suggested by the presen: high price of coal in Europe. - At-any rate, a new form of fuel has just made its appearance in London, and it is composed chiefly of street sweepings and Thames mud. This material is subjected to chemical treatment the precise nature of which {s not ex- plained. But, as in the manufacture of brignettes from coal dust—an ex- tensive industry in Europe—some substance like pitch is employed to bind the solid or semi-solid particles together. The compound is subjected to high pressure and a temperature of 300 or 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When burned the fuel yields a small amount of powdery residue. The blocks produced by this process are called “fuelettes” apd are sold for three farthings each. One is said to be sufficient to cook a ght breakfast. Literary Men Neod Brotherhood. Anthony Hope Hawkins believes much in men of letters standing by each other and he has worked tre- mendously hard to help on the fund which the Authors’ Society of London is trying to accumulate, from which pensions are to be paid to authors whose literary merit has not brought them a corresponding income and who view increasing years with fear. Re- cently an unfortunate writer, wlfo vis- ited Mr, Hawkins at his rooms in Buck- ingham street, »y the Embankment gardens, exclaimed, on leaving with something in his pocket: “Oh, sir, I feel that providence must have sent me to you!” And the reply came with a twinkle in his benefactor’s eye: “Let us hope, however, that providence will not acquire a habit of doing so.” \ DRUG-TAKING HABIT. Laxatives Swallowed in Almost Infinite Variety. Besides the abuse of drugs in rheu- matism and its sad results, another serious abuse of the same kind was discussed at the scssicn of the Interna- tional Medical Congress at Paris, says the New York Post. This is the pres- ent fashion of taking laxative medi- sine in large quantities and in almost Infinite varicty. Several distinguished specialists from Germany a:iributed to this habit, which is common in nearly the whole world. the orgin of several intestinal affections practically unknown before our generation and which are spreading. One of these, a muco-membranous affection of the intestines, is a most puzzlying patho logical condition. A number of phy- sicians attributed the present preval ence of constipation, which is prim- arily responsible for the new fashions in laxatives, to an insufficiency of fat in the modern dietary. The frying pan has gone out of fashion, to ‘ae benefit of digestion, but ways and means of supplying the fats that used to be consumed with the fried mater- ial have not been forthcoming. The present generation is distinctly an eater of sweets, not of fats, but while the former supply the heat that would be obtained from the fats, they do not supply certain lubricant qualities which are so important for the proper performance of the intestinal func- tions. The use of the milk fats, that is, butter and cream as well as milk itself was recommended. aa this form A Remarkable Turk. In the village of Bodra a Turk named Ismall, aged 120 years, is in such good health that he frequently walks to Bartin, six miles distant, to sell eggs, for he is a poultry dealer. He has had thrity-four wives, the last of whom he married recently. The bride is 60 years his junior, and the mar- riage was celebrated with much sol- emnity, to the sound of drums and fifes and volleys of fireams. The whole village was en fete. The wedding pro- cession included all the male progeny of the patriarch bridegroom, consisting of 140 sons, grandsons and great- grandsons. Effextive Bird Laws, From many parts of New England this summer comes the news that the song birds seem to be. more in evi- dence than they have been for many years. An old Rangely guide said re- cently that it was hardly within his recollection of the past twenty years that the birds had been so aboundant or of so many species as they may be seen this year. In the want of any ‘other reéasott to ‘account for the wel- ‘eomé change it seems fair to assume that the New England laws for the protection of insectivorous birds are beginning to have some effect, ALASKA FLOWERS. A Well-Known Lover of Nature Tells | Us About Them. John Burroughs, the- well-knowa bird, lover and naturalist, describes in the Country Magazine a trip that he made to Alaska. Among other things he says: “But we all climbed the mighty emerald billow that rose from the rear of the village, some of us re- peatedly. From the ship it looked as smooth.as a meadow, but the climber soon found himself knee-deep in ferns, grasses and a score of flowering plants, and now and then pushing through a patch of alders as high as his head. He could not go far before his hands would bé full of flowers, blue predomi- nating. The wild geranium here is light blue, and it tinged the slopes as daisies and buttercups do at home. Near the summit there were patches of most exquisite forget-me-nots, of a pure, delicate hue with a yellow cen- ter. They grew to the height of a foot, and a handful of them looked like something just caught out of the sky above. Here, too, were a small, delicate lady’s-slipper, pale yellow striped with maroon, and a pretty dwarf rhododendron, its large purple flower sitting upon the moss and lichen, The climber also waded through patches of lupine, and put his feet among bluebells, Jacob’s-ladder, iris, saxifrage, cassiopes and many others. The song birds that attracted our notice were the golden-crowned | sparrow and the little hermit thrush. The golden crown had a peculiarly piercing, plaintive song, very simple, but very appealing. There were only | three notes, but they were from out the depths of the bird’s soul. In them was all the burden of the mystery and pathos of life. ‘ee ee AN EE eT A EEE INCORRECT NAMES. Game Birds of America Misnamed by Hunters. It is remarkable that most of the game birds in the United States are known by names which are not honest- ly theirs. A man talks of going quail shooting or pheasant shooting. Neither of these birds is native to America, and the sportsman means he is going after partridges and grouse. There are indeed some pheasant preserves in the country, but in spite of assertions to the contrary the quail does not. live on the North American continent, ac- cording to the authority of D. G. E!- liott in Quting. In the first place, quaii are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two, much-confused birds are: The “ill of the true quail is small, weak, entirely different from the strong bill of the English partridges and of our own “Bob White,” and the groove of the nostril is mostly feathered. The nostril of the American ‘‘quail’”—really re rtridge—is uncovered. Partridge legs are scaly and spurred, while quails’ legs are never so adorned. The quail’s tail is short, the feathers soft and light and not half so long as the wing, The partridge’s tail has from sixteen-to eighteen feathers and is de- cidedly. stiff. All the birds here gen- erally called quaii, from the Bob Whites, the Messena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the southwest, to thase of the Pacific coast, are seally partridges, as will be found by judging them scientifically. The ruffed grouse rarely receives its correct name, being called partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to locality. The grouse is knowi by the fact that its legs are always completely or partially feathered over. The partridge never has feathers on its legs. Girl Tramps Are Numerous. New Jersey has come to the front | with a product entirely its own. It is nothing less than the female tramp dressed in boy’s clothing and stealing rides on freight trains, She is be j coming common. Recently “James” Robinson of Philadeiphia was released from the county correction farm at Trenton on payment cf 2 §3 fine, the money having been here by tele- graph from Phila “James” igs a girl about 16 yea: She was arrested by a ctive and sent to the farm cha ned to ix tramps. | When captured ske had a large revol- ver strapped to a beit around her waist, and upon being questioned promptly admitted her sex. She re- fused to give her name, but said she was trying to reach the home of her uncle in New Brunswick. The justice committed her to the stone quarry for thirty days in cefault of the $3 fine imposed. This is the third girl tramp the detectives have arrested at the coal chutes within a few days, The Home Interest of Children, Unquestionably children are the clearest facts on which we build our social structure of the future, but it should be held axiomatic in all such social reform work that the home idea is inseparable from every problem into which child life enters. Separate a child’s life from his home, no matter how wretched his home, no matter how worthy the interest in the abstract, and you have made the poor little in- dividual a seat of discord. You have set him at odds with the life in which resides his origin and support; you have created in him a social tendency that threatens our political constitu- tions.—Harper’s Bazar.

No Friends of Mer Own Age in Royal Family, Wilhelmina, the young queen of Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run on somewhat massive lines. Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur to an’ acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty?” The young queen has fine eyes, a n and a glorious tinge ef rose-pink in her cheeks. Then her hair is the rich brown that painters love, and there is plenty of it. Wil- ation for dignity, e enjoyed he: so much at a court ball, waltzing w:th the energy of a healthy girl who has temporarily forgotten she is a queen and only remembers she is young and happy, that a coil of her hair fell down and had to be pinned up again by a thy | lady-in-vwaiting. This little incident set all tongues wagging. Ij was exaggerated commented upen a!l over Holland with an anxiety only abated by the dis-_ very that the queen’s partner in the ddnce had been her uncle, her moth- er’s brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his wife, | who are both still young, are the only people with whom Wilhelmina real y fraternizes in a natural jolly way. She has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal! family is limited to The two or three are middle-aged, dowdy, and dull, Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys her “splendid isloation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her accession, that she liked independence, and in- tended to preserve it as long as pos- sible. Fun with Rubberneeks. In front of a five-story Main street block there was the usual crowd of passersby. A heavily loaded electrie car was just coming along. Suddenly a@ man rushed out from a store in the block into the middle of the street. Gazing up to the top story, he cried out: “You'll fall, you will certa.nly fall.” Everybody in sight stopped and gazed into the air. Those who were on the wrong side of the electric car clambered over to the right side to see their share. And there was noth- ing to see. No one was about to fall from the fifth floor; in fact, there was no one to be seen there. It was ail a bluff, and the wicked bluffer hurried away to escape the verscance of the bluffed.—_Worcester $ Heavy horses—good stuck for salé Itasca Mercantile Co, and | men servants Disappens: Varisians are giving up keepiuc Men servan male do replaced by female. set the exampl> by wale cooks and er dos blues.
