TVhile walking the other day from a ~remote vincinage of the town on the one side to an equally remote purlieu on the other I- chanced to cross Easy street, a thoroughfare with which I have mo longitudinal acquaintance. Just in il‘he middle of the way there came, with a volcanic roar, out of a column of dust, :in automobile. I was thrown fifty feet, and lodged in a locust-tree. l’Vith a sur- viving eye I caught, on the rear of the vehicle, as it tore away, the large silver initials, “1’. Q.” Perhaps I have exaggerated the inci- something hap- pened. Anyhow, I know this Peter Quick. Twenty years ago We were well acquaint- lcd. ’Twas the time when I was making love to Musette. A rather good job of love-making it was, too, I suspect. Nev- ertheless, 1 used up my own allowance, and most of my brother’s, and the not large sum I earned, and the rather neat amount that I could borrow. Mnsette married a man namedâ€"named Hunks, I think, or something of the sort. Peter Quick, also, was making love at the time, and as fervently as I.. Not since the joyous Ionian sea gave forth «he goddess of love has there been a more ardentwooer than P. Q. I thought then not much of the object of his affec- tions, however. I marveled at his choice. Little did I suspect that she was the greatest heiress that the world can Show. l‘eter Quick was making love to Frau- lein Hard \‘v'ork. l-‘cvter Quick wooed Hard “Torkâ€"asuc- ccssfully. No man named Hunks (or something like this) got her away from him. Early and late he made love to her. He sent her, soto say, flowers; and fashioned, as it were, sonnets to her eye- brow. He dreamed of her at night, and thought of her on Sundays and holidays. \Ve never could get him to talk of much else. \Vhen I contrived my ru‘ther cele- brated mixture of Virginia and Daltekia, and offered Peter some of it, he looked at me abstractedly and said that I knew he didn‘t smoke. Miss \Vork, I suspect, objected to smoking. Musctte had a pretty knack at rolling a cigarette for 1110 when I called. I suppose she rolled 111cm just as fetchingly for Hunksâ€"~0r 'w-ha tcver his name was. “’0. all had our fling at P. Q. for his absurd devotion to his. queer sweetheart. He took it good- naturcdlyâ€"and grew more devoted. As She became more and more taken up with her, we saw less and less of him. None of us cared much; We wore so unable to sympathize with his infatuation. Final ly, I lost sight of him entirely, though 'l're heard that he has kept up his court- ship without abatement. I have not sec-r. him for fifteen years, except for the dis solving view 1 had just as I lodged in the “tree. It’s rather odd, now that I come to lhink of it, that none of us ever suspecl .Isd what a vast heiress the damesel Hard 1s’Vork was, and always has beenâ€"and is Peter must have known it. Perhaps llll'. sly chap looked her up in Bradstreet’s. it would be no bad place to find it outâ€"â€" especially if you study the names of those with the highest ratings. She is. too, I know now, the best companion in man ever had. ’Tis impossible long to bv unhappy in her company. I cannot learn that association with her ever harmed any man. 1’.

Diamond teeth for saws seem a. rather costly experiment, but in some manufac- torles it is necessary to have the saw teeth fitted with cutting diamonds in or- der to accomplish their work. The De- troit News Tribune says that anyone who has visited the factories of Pennsylvania Wiere various articles are made from slate will have seen 300 horizontal saws 13 feet in length, each of which is fur- nished with 75 cutting diamonds. each saw being worth $5.600. There are also in the factory jlgsaws, a. circular saw, planers and other slate-working machin- ery in which there are valuable dla- monds. The slate land which furnishes the material for these costly saws to work upon was once so little valued] that the tract upon which the famous (.hcp- man quarry in Pennsylvania. ls sltuated was once sold for a pint of whiskey. Its subsequent owners have taken millions of dollars from the land. The most valu- able slate deposits in the world are found in the central and custern parts of Penn- sylvania. In the neighborhood of the Pennsylvania quarries there are houses whose walls are entlrely of slate. ’Ihe blocks of which they are made are smoothly sawed and are certainly most substantial. Slate is put to a_varlety of uses nowadays, out of it being made floors, stairways, sidewalks, bath tubs, mangers, posts, mantel pieces, black- boards, door and window sills and many other things. When slate is blasted in the quarries the rough slabs are taken to the shantles of the “splitters.” The stone forms naturally in layers and the “splitter,” following the grain or “rib- bon” with his large chisel, separates the blocks into strips. Then these strips are passed through a trimming machine, Where by the blows of a. heavy knife they a/re cut lnto rectangular "shingles." Afterward they are piled up lnto "squares," ready to be used for roof- ing purposes. When slate is cut up for use in other ways the procedure differs. The huge horizontal saw, with its scores of diamonds, in the factory is called into play; it is lowered upon one of the blocks of slate by a. ratchet at the rate of a quarter of an Inch 3. minute. The saw would cut through iron or steel at the same rate. The workmen play a. stream of water upon the slate to keep it cool and wash the dust from the out. After the sewing the block is planed by being moved back and forth by machin- ery, under a firmly fixed chisel. It is afterward pollshed much as marble and granite are by means of a rapidly revol- ving disk called a rubbing bed. which is kept covered with a line sprlnkling of fine sand saturated with water. Then the slate is bored by means of diamond- polnted drills. The value of the slate quarries runs into mlllions. The Cost of Fires. The tollowlng is from Chambers' Jour- nal:â€"'r11e annual tire bill of the United Kingdom may be taken at £20,000,000, that of the United States at £28,060,000. There are besides the fire lnsurance annual bill and the blll {or the lire stations, with their costly sltes and buildings, the fire engines, the other machinery and the horses. All this outlay keeps us poor. But the loss of life is worse, and it is easy to build fireproofâ€"or better, in- combustlbleâ€"houses, such as in the River Plata countries, and probably in Beth~ lehcm and Nazareth. The manner is as followszâ€"ln these countries they neither use the arch lron, but hardwood, which, having mostly to come a thousand miles down the river, is dear. So all the floors and the roof, which is flat, are sup~ ,ported by joists shaped as ln this coun- try, and across them are laid rails of the same hardwood, about a foot apart, upon which rests the ends on thin bricks. on wlllcli another layer of bricks or some- times two is laid in mortar. and on this tiles. Then there is no skirting or pan- elling. In Britain cement should be used for that purpose, and there should be no boxing of doors and windows, the frames being built in securely. The doors are also of hardwood. In that line ell- mate no lath or plaster is ever used, In this country the lathe should be of iron, and if moulding is wanted around the doors it should be of cement instead of dangerous inflammable wood.'In such lie-uses a bonfire made by piling a‘lot of sticks and shavings on the best bed in the best bedroom and setting fire to lt would not set the house on lire. The writer has for sixty-four years lived in or been connected wlth- the great city of Buenos Ayres, the capital of the Ar- gentine Republlc, and the largest, city in the southern hemisphere, with 852,000 in- habitants, and never heard of a life be- lng lost by tire, but there are fires in grocers' shops and such like places. Lat- terly. as pine from the United States is now abundant, some builders have" used it partially in buildings ln the capital, and ‘such are not quite fireproof, but it is a bad practice.
