Aa a general rule Uw roads In and around French towns are tarred at th commencement of the summer In or der to abate the dust nuisance. It has, however, been found that tar. al though excellent In the case of macav damlxed roads. Is of little or no Talue where car lines exist and paved street crossings Intersect the roads in every direction, aa tarring cannot be carried ut on stones. The authorities, basing their action on the well known hygro metrical prop erties of common salt, have made a teat of Its value In laving the dust Twenty yards of roadway have been sprinkled liberally with salt and then watered freely. It the results are sat isfactory salt will be used throughout the town of Havre. It being impossi ble to tar the majority of the streets, as tbey are paved with rough stone blocks MODEST GEORGE MOORE.

T believe he was quite a good doc tor, but many people employed him for his personal charm, and the story was current that sometimes when the case was not urgent he would sit talking to the friends and go away without referring to the matter in hand. We youngsters were always delighted to see him, for he had always something unexpected to say or do. ne would take his watch out of one pocket and gravely refer to it, or direct special attention to some article of dress whose nov elty he commended; and once when driving with a friend he leaned out of the carriage as if in search of something. "What are you looking for?" she asked, "some one you know? "Xo." he said. "I'm look ing at a dog I dont know." From Farquharson's "In and Out of Par liament. FIRST VETERINARY SCHOOL. The third fiftieth anniversary celebrating the erection in Lyon of a veterinary school will be held in that city about the middle of May, 1912. Preparations are now form ing to commemorate the event in a fitting manner, and invitations are being issued to all veterinary schools in the United States and elsewhere for the purpose of having delegates in as large a number as possible. It is authentically recorded in the annals of veterinary science that the world's first veterinary school was founded in Lyon in 1761, since which time similar institutions have been inaugurated in many countries, the last being reported from Abys sinia. TRUTH ABOUT SIR WALTER Modern Version of the Episode of Ra leigh, Queen Elizabeth and the Mud. It was a hot July afternoon and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by her glittering household suite, was about to cross the highway, when her further progress was barred by a muddy gutter. Instantly the warm-haired queen looked around at Sir Walter Raleigh, and that worthy knight promptly stepped forward. Fd be very glad, your majesty," he said with a courtly bow, Ho back up tha future story of the cloak epi side, but I don't possess such an ar ticle, and as a charter member of the Ananias society I haven't even a coat. Nevertheless, your Uncle Walt isn't the man to lie balked by a trifling drawback." So saying, he quickly picked up his sovereign lady and, encouraged by the gay laughter of the court, carried her across the miry channel and lightly deposited her on the other side. THE MOVEMENT IN EGYPT. Now it is the Moslem women of Erypt who are taking part in the rten movement, having asked of Li- Moslem congress the right to at tend prayers and sermons in the -rskjues, a privilege already granted o the women of Constantinople. They also ask that the primary edu ra::on of young women be made obli gatory ; that young girls be admitted i scIho1s of medicine ; to nse means to prevent polygamy and the abuse if divorce and to teach Mohamme dan girls sewing, housekeeping and hygiene. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD How to Wash White Pique Waistcoats and Make Pretty Neckties at Home. "Washing a White Pique Waistcoat Remove the buttons with a sharp hatchet, and wash the waistcoat with any soap that is advertised. If there are spots on the garment which do not belong there, use a small scrub brush and white sand. If this does not take them out, dip the waistcoat into hot naphtha. The principal time to be careful is in the drying of the thing. Waistcoats should nev er be hung on a line or clothes horse, but, to preserve their "shape, must be dried on the person. Put on the waistcoat while it is wet and stand in front of the fire. Revolve Tery slowly until it is partly dry, and then go into a dark closet and shut the door. White goods must be dried in the dark. Keep on revolving. As the material shrinks, inflate your lungs to the fullest extent, or, if yon are sufficiently puffed up with pride, this will not be necessary. Homemade Neckties Very pret ty white neckties may be made from ordinary lamp wicks. Choose the flat kind, buying a sufficient num ber to make the necktie long enough. Join the ends neatly with a drawn work stitch, and tie in a four-in-hand or butterfly bow, according to taste. A delightful fob chain may also be made from a single lamp wick. The natural color of the' wick may be used with duck or white serge suits, but for evening wear the wick should be dyed black. Judge's Library. HONORS TO THEIR COUNTRY Old Maids Gain Due Recognition In New Orleans Movement for Their Aid. "Honor the old maids, for they are worth more in push, ability and character than the mollycoddles they are replacing right and left every day. Such, was the announcement made a few days ago by an organizer of the movement to aid spinsters. Since that time more than 500 let ters of appreciation have reached him. One of the latest letters, from Chicago, reads: T read the surpris ing announcement that a man is championing the cause of the 'old maid. I am glad to see that a busi ness man is taking this stand and tel ling whoever can and will read that the woman who is forced to earn her living, or is doing it through choice, has the push, ability .and character necessary to insure her an indepen dent and happy life, without waiting for some impossibility to many her. The man who wrote that letter is a gentleman in two places, and we doff our hat to him in reverence and re spect. And. returning to the subject of women who work for a living, why they're queens of love, light and lib erty and an honor to their country. . New Orleans Piearune. ABDUL HAMID-S JEWELS. One of the most remarkable auc tions ever held in Paris is to take place toward the end of November, namely, the sale of the jewels for merly belonging to the former sul tan, Abdul Hamid. It will be remembered that when Abdul was deposed the Ottoman gov ernment seized this property as be longing to the nation. Since then they have been stored with the Im perial Ottoman bank, but now the government intends to apply the proceeds of its sale to the purpose of increasing the Turkish fleeL The collection is very large and varied, and contains a large number of magnificent pieces, although some what barbaric to modern tastes. SURGICAL SEWING MACHINE. A New York sargeon has invented a surgical sewing machine, one of the kind that will patch up your lac erations just as a dressmaker or tailor sewa 'bolts of cloth together. And while he was claiming this to be the greatest invention of the age, another wizard shouted that he had conquered one-seventh of the law of gravitation, having struck upon a means that would prevent crippled air craft from tumbling to earth. As soon as he covers the other six-sevenths of the situation there is no tell ing what he shall be able to do. MANY DO. "Now, there's Pipps. He never ! bets ou a horse race."

HOW WAR HELPS A NATION Sir Reginald Hart Saya It Consolidates a People While Long Peace Is Disintegrating. , Peace for a nation is like a sleep fcr an individual, it gives time for rest and recuperation. But we must not sleep too long or we infallibly deteriorate. Peace is a disintegrat ing force, whereas war consolidates a people. War is no doubt a dread ful ordeal, but it clears the air, and refines the race as fire purifies the gold and silver in the furnace. Na tions," like individuals, ultimately benefit by their chastenings this is one of the mvsteries of nature. So long as any people, white. black, brown or yellow, hold weapons in their hands we must not commit the folly of beating our swords into plowshares. The sufferings of man and beast in war are horrible beyond descrip tion, and yet, is it not true that it is not in war, but in peace, and in great commercial prosperity that our worst vices are developed, fostered, and grow rank? With our material prosperity we become self-indulgent, luxurious, inconsideraate, selfish and even unmanly. In war many of the noblest traits in human nature assert themselves and a high sense or honor comes before everything. Sir Regi nald Hart. B. C, in Nineteenth Cen tury. MYSTERIOUS RUINS IN PERIL Remains of Great City Near Lake Titi caca of Which Even the Incas Knew Nothing. On the plateau adjoining Lake Titticaca in Peru, the largest lake in South America, are found the ruins of a city as large as Boston. The stone walls of the principal buildings are of excellent workmanship and the gateways are elaborately carved. Some of the single stones weigh over 150 tons. There is some evidence that the inhabitants were the origi nal discoverers of corn and potatoes. At all events, they were skilled ma sons and had attained an organized civilization. The orijrin of these ra ins was as much a mystery 900 years ago. as is shown bv the earliest rec ords of the Incas, as it is now. At present the region in which they are situated is cold and arid and entire ly incapable of ripening cereals. It is inhabited by a few hardy moun taineers. It is evident that the cli mate is entirely different from what it was when the plateau was the cen ter of a large population. This change must be due to the elevation of the mountains on the east, and perhaps of the entire plateau. LATE INFORMATION. The little maid stood in the door way, one hand on the handle. For a moment she gazed thoughtfully at her father, who was preparing . to take his afternoon siesta. "Papa," she said, "do yon know what I'm going to give you for your birthday when it comes 'f "No. dear," answered her fond fa ther. "But tell me." "A nice new china shaving mug, with gold flowers on it all 'round."' said the little maid. "But, my dear," explained her par ent, "papa has a nice one, just like that, already." "No, he hasn't," his little daugh ter answered thoughtfully, "'cos 'coa I've just dropped it!" Ex change. OSCAR LIKED THE TITLE. Miss Kitty Cheatham had an en counter with Oscar Hammerstein which is worthy of relating. Miss Cheatham was making a Fourth of July call on Ambassador Eeid in London, and on the steps she met Oscar, who raised his tall hat and bowed low. He clung to Miss Cheatham's side as she entered the house, and she introduced him to the military and naval attaches as the "world's greatest impresario." "Stay by me" begged Oscar. "You can make them all believe that." LOTS OF MOVING.
