On March 10, 1755, avalanches buried the village of Bergemoletto, in the Italian Alps. and on April 25 three women were diz out alive from a stable in which they had been immured for thirty-seven days in the dark beneath the mass of snow which lay forty-two feet higher than the roof. With them had been buried a little boy, six goats, a donkey and some hens. The child, the donkey and the fowls soon died, but the goats helped the women to survive, their milk supple- menting the thirty or forty cakes and the pocketful of chestnuts upon which they depended for food. Hope of find- ing the women alive had been aban- doned when far in April the brother of one had a dream in which she ap- pealed to him for rescue. The weather then at last made ex- cavation possible, and the women were restored to the world and presently to health.—~Chicago News. Dew as Drinking Water. The English administration at Gibral- tar. where water is very scarce, col- lects dew by the following very sim- ple method: A large pit is dug in the earth and covered with dry wood or straw, which in turn is covered either with earth or with sheet iron. The straw or wood serves as a heat in- sulator and effectually prevents the conduction of heat from the ground to the layer of earth or the sheet iron above. Consequently this earth or iron cools after sunset much more rap- idly than the ground. so that its tem- perature soon falls below the dew point of the surrounding air; hence dew is formed upon the iron or the layer of earth in very large quantities The water thus obtained is drained off into reservoirs and after clarification is used for drinking.—Scientific Amer. ican, Sheep as Land Cleaners. In discussing the value of sheep on a country piace their service as land cleaners should not be ignored. They like pasture grasses, but they seem to like weeds and bushes even better for browse. They will often clean up an old field in a year or two, so that what was a tangle or unsightly weeds and shrubs will appear a smooth shaven lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at this sort of thing. but the common, everyday sheep of the ordinary breed will do mighty good work if you con- fine her to her job and put in enough of her. Five years ago one small pas- tion | ture of mine was a veritable chaparral of thorn bushes and solidago. 1 set the ewes in it, and today it's as pretty a bit of sward as there is on the ranch —~bushless and weedless and thick turfed.—Country Life In America. Soon Tired of His Books. The 7,000 volumes of chronicles and travels from which Gibbon distilied the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” were purchased by Beckford after the writer's death. *1 bought it,” said the author of “Vathek," “to have something to read when 1 passed through Lausanne.” There were few rarities in the collection, but most of the authors were in the best obtain- able editions and in perfect condition. The fastidious Gibbon was incapable of behaving disrespectfully to a book. For six weeks Beckford reveled in his purchase and read himself nearly blind. He soon tired of his books, Gowever and presented the whole collection to a German physician named Schell. The recipient showed his appreciation of the treasure by promptly selling it. Not Moved by Kindness. A stout woman entered a crowded car and took hold of a strap directly in front of a man seated in the corner. As the car started she lunged agalust his newspaper and trod heavily on his toes. As soon as he could extricate himself he rose and offered her bis seat. “You are very kind, sir.” she said. panting for breath. “Not at all, madam,” he replied. “It's not kindness.

The man at his right can tell more about the tirst baseman’s peculiarities than he could tell about the manners of his own wife. The man at his left has trouble remember- ing the size collar he wears, but he can pame every man in every club of both major leagues, tell the age of each, give the complete table of bat- ting records offhand and recite, item by item, every feature of every game played on the home grounds during the last five years. That is why baseball is our national game. game not because we are Chicagoans and the Chicago nine wins nor be- cause we are Pittsburgers and the Pittsburg nine is winning, but because we are educated in baseball and like to see a good game played by the best We love the men in their field that can be found in the world.” Her Father's Job. The young daughter of a popular Chicago clergyman some time ago manifested a quick wit. Her father had gone on a brief holiday with a business parishioner and associate, and the talk of the children turned on the problem of which father needed the rare rest most sorely. “Well, I think my father works the hardest,” sald little Miss Business, “and his work keeps him stirred up and anxious most of the time.” “Your father may work the hardest in one way,” was little Miss Clergy- man’s answer, at once thoughtful and let down diplomatic, “but I think he gets more rest as he goes along. You see, he can a little evenings and Sun- days, and if he gets cross and nervous nobody says anything. But my daddy has to be better than ever Sundays and evenings, because then everybody's taking notice and the whole lot of us children are around.”—Chicago Rec- ord-Herald. Shortened His Wait. “Experience,” said Mark Twain once, “makes us wise, but it also makes us hard. Consider the old, experienced man in the busy restaurant. He took a seat, looked round him and, point- ing to a well dressed gentieman who had not yet been served, said to the waiter: “ “Waiter, how long has that gentle- man been “About twelve minutes, sir, here? the waiter answered. “ ‘What's his order? “ ‘porterhouse and French fried, sir, with mince pie and coffee to come.’ “The old man, hardened by experi ence, slipped a quarter in the waiters hand. “ ‘Waiter,’ he said, ‘I'm in a hurry.

A little salt in one’s drinking water is “good medi- cine.” Salt applications to the skin are wonderfully soothing und whole some. There is nothing better as a wash for the throat and the nasal pas. sages to prevent or to cure catarrhal troubles than a solution of common salt in plain water—the cheapest rem- edy one can find.
