FUEL FROM GARBAGE. London Has Found a Way of Utilizing Strect Sweepings. 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 ‘atest development of the idea has possibly been suggested by the presen: high price of coal in Europe. At any rate,.a mew 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 is not ex- plained. But, as in the manufacture of brignettes from coal dust—an ex- tensive industry in Europe—somie substanca 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 prodticed by this process are calied “fuelettes” apd are ‘sold . for three farthings each. One is said to be sufficient to cook a light breakfast. Literary Men Need 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, who vis- ited Mr. Hawkins at his rooms in Buck- ingham street, ry 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 Aimost Infiatte Variety. Besides the abuse of drugs in rheu- matism and its sad results, serious abuse of the same kind-was discussed at the session 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 Cermany attributed 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 *t#¢ 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. as this form er dey “ 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 pregeny 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 eyi- 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 reason to account for the wel- come change it seems fair to assume that the New England laws for the protection of insectivorous birds are beginning to have some effect, another! ! them scientifically. bird lover and naturalist, describes in the Country Magazine a trip that he made to Alaska, Among other things he says: “But we all elimbed the mighty emerald billow that rose from the rear of the village, some of us re- peatedly. Irom 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 be 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 ot of the sky above. Here, too, were a small, delicate lady’s-slipper, pale yellow striped with marcon, 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-laddcr, iris, saxifrage, siopes 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. INCORRECT NAMES. Game Birds of America Misnamed by Hanters. 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. 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. El- liott in Quting. In the first place, quaii are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two thuch-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 rertridge—is uncovered. Partridge legs are scaly and 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. Thé partridge’s tail has from sixteen to eighteen feathers and {s de- cidedly stiff. All the birds here gen- erally:.called quail, from the Bob Whites, the Megsena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the southwest, to thase of the Pacific coast, are yeally partridges, as will be found by judging The ruffed grouse rarely receives its correct name, being ealled partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to locality. The grouse is known 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 ciothing and stealing rides on freight trains. She is be coming common. Recently “James” Robinson of Philadeiphia was released from the county cocrection farm at Trenton on p: nt cf a $3 fine, the money having been seat here by teie- graph from ladeipiia. “James” is a‘girl about 16>y:a:s old. She was arrested by a railro:d ¢ sent to the farm chained to six tramps. When captured sie had a large revol- ver strapped to a beit around her waist, and upon Db 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 default 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 Chiliren, Unquestionably children are the clearest facts on which we build our gocial, 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.

Then her hair is the rich brown that painters love, and there {3 plerty of it. Wil- helmiaa has a reputation for dignity, but not long ago she enjoyed herself so much at a court walizing with the energy of a healthy girl who has temporarily forgotten she is a queen and only remembers she is young and nappy, that a coil of her hair fell down and had to be pinned up again by a lady-in-v-aiting. This little incident set all tongues wagging. It was exaggerated and | commented upon ail over Holland-with | an anxiety only abated by the dis- covery that the queen’s partner in the dance 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 a very small circle. The two or three princes and princesses available 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. in the Fan with Rabberneeks, In front of a five-story Main street block there was the usual crowd of ‘passersby. A heavily loaded electric fear was just coming along. Suddenly @ 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 certainly 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.
