EASY FOR FRENCH PEASANTS
American Tourists Exnected to Pour
Golden Fiooi Through the War
D.vactated Regions.
Commenting on the American sum-
mer rush to Burcpe, especially to the
French battlefields, Customs Inspector
Henri Duval said in New Orleans:
“I am reminded of a tourist anec-
dote.
“In many French provinces every
peasant raises each year for his fam-
ily’s use one or two enormous pigs.
Nothing of the pig is discarded—the
fat is boiled down for lard; the blood
is made into blood puddings; the hams
are cured; the chops are salted; the
feet are dried; the meat in the head
is chopped into sausage meat; even
the ears are preserved; an occasional
slice of ear being used to enrich the
soup. And the tail? Oh, yes, they
use the tail, too. It is stewed with
vegetables and contains, they say, a
tiny morsel of delicious meat.
“But to return to the anecdote. An
American touring the north of France
one summer before the war, asked a
peasant what the people thereabouts
lived on.
“Pigs, monsieur, in the winter,’ re-
plied the peasant, ‘and tourists in the
summer.’
Customs Inspector Duval laughed.
“Well,” he said, “the tales of extor-
tion I hear from pecple now return-
ing from France make me think that
few peasants will be eating pigs’ ears
or pigs’ tails this winter—they’ll be
eating trufled chicken and drinking
champagne.”
MIXED HUMOR AND TRAGEDY
Writer Tells of Relieving Touch in the
Midst of Scenes of Revolt in
Ireland.
There is no country in the world like
Ireland. Even its serious attempts at
revolution have a humorous side. Just
as there is a touch of sadness in the
wildest Irish merriment, there is a bit
of good humor in the midst of its most
tragic earnestness. Miss Dorothea
Conyers, in her Sporting Reminiscences,
tells an incident of one of the Sinn
Fein uprisings:
The barrier on the Wellesly bridge
was most imposing, and I remember
rushing down to see it and upsetting a
neat stack of bayonets, but no one
minded. An irate old lady in ap ass
cart was trying to pass out just as 1
got there. Wheeled traffic had to go
round by another bridge.
“Young man,” she hailed the sen-
try, “young man, let me pass, if ye
plaze!”
The sentry explained matters pleas-
antly. «Go round be Themond
bridge.”
“No, young man. Young man, let me
pass. Young man, I have three young
.pigs hungry at home, and the male in
the car. Will ye call an officer?”
After a prolonged wait she lost her
temper, backed the cart into a sentry
box and drove off, declaring “she'd
have the law on the military.”—
Youth’s Companion.
Historic Estate on Market.
The Stoke Park estate, once the
home of the Penns, has been placed
en the market. On this property is a
monument put up by John Penn in
memory of the poet, Gray. On threz
sides are quotations from the Elegy,
on the fourth is an inscription saying
that the stone was erected in 1799
“among the scenery celebrated by the
great Lyric and Elegiac Poet,” and that
he “lies unnoticed in the adjoining
churchyard under the tombstone on
which he piously and pathetically re-
corded the interment of his aunt and
lamented mother.” The hope is ex-
pressed that the property will not fall
into hands that will permit this monu-
ment, “which in a sense has become
historic, te fall into ruin.”—London |
Times.

Wartime Lumber Consumption.
The consumption of lumber during
the war has been approximated at 6,
500,000,000 feet, board measure, by
the United States forestry service, Of
this amount of lumber purchased di-
rectly by the various government de-
artments, the army consumption was |
nearly 5,500,000,000 feet, the navy con- |
suming more than 120,000,000. During |
1918 the Emergency Fleet corporation
consumed for ship construction ap-
proximately 800,000,000 feet. Lumber
needed for boxes and crates alone re-
quired approximately 2,000,000,000
feet. Structures, for cantonments,
hospitals, warehouses, ete, used ap-
proximately 8,000,000,000 feet.

Novel Wireless Experiments.
By means of vibratory waves sent
out fromean oscillator cut in her hull,
the battle cruiser Ohio has been con-
ducting some remarkable wireless ex-
periments with the abandoned battle-
ship Towa In the Delaware bay near
Philadelphia. The dot and dash waves
are caught on the sensitive horns of
the Iowa's submarine listener 10 feet
pelow her stern. In this manner the
Ohio is able to control the Iowa’s en-
gines and helm and direct her course |
600 yards away. Insulated wires were !
installed on the Towa to attempt to op-
erate her at greater distances.
