The use of peat as a source of heat goes back beyond the historical period In the ancient history of the earlr tribes In northern tJerniany. Pliny, the Ttonian naturalist, give n possibly the first Indication of the use of peat. He reports that the Teutons on the bonier of the north sea dried and hurned mud. what we now would cull peat. In Ireland, Great Brltnln. litis, sla, Scandinavia. Germany, IIoIIhiuI. and parts of France peat has been nseil as a fuel since time Immemorial. The peat was cut from the bog very much In the same manner as It Is atlll being done In many parts of Kit rot, where It is cut In brick shaiea, allowed to dry In the wind and sun. She Knew a Windfall. Mrs. Youngliride thought the apples the farmer had brought her were rather dirty, but he explained that this was because they had fallen off the tree onto the ground In short, they wore windfalls so she bought them. A week later she called the farmer's wtfe np on the telephone. "I ordered the best encumbers for pickling," she said shandy, "and you sent me wind falls." "Sent whstT gasped the farmer's wife. "Windfall encumbers! I ran tell; you needn't think I can't There's dirt on them." " BOARDING HOME FOR BABIES Institution In England Had It Incep tion In th Shortage of Houaea and Housemaid. A small private hotel for babies Is the latest idea of domestic life. The' hnhy gets a change and tha mother gets a rest. The baby's hotel or boaiSllnj house la the product of the shortage of houses and nursemaids. I'arenta have been forced Into hotels and furnished apartments, and as many hotels have not the conveniences of the nursery, tha heby'i hotel, where he or aha may he received as a paying guest, la mak ing Its appearance. There Is, of course, aevonimodation for tha baby carriage. Two certified nurses conceived the Idea. They have established a nursery in Hempstead. London. The walla are decorated with ducks snd chickens, snd each little guest has a white cot with curtains. A medical man and a dentist are In attendance. The tariff la about $13 a week. Tha little guests may stay a week, a year, or merely for the week end, while their parent! go house hunting or holiday making. "A young war widow, who has re sumed her former post as secretary, brought her baby to the nursery, aad Saturday afteninou and Sunday they spend happy hours together, while an other woman left her little one In oar charre w hile she rejoined her hnshand tn " - tropics."

"A public school Is Impossible," the good folk of I'.onleuiown, N, J told t'luia I'.arton, the greatest woman teacher of her time, and one of the host friends to W.iiilivn In all tl'"'. "It has been trio I m.d always It has failed." She had lunch! nt ttlghtstnwn In ISTiM, and the fume of her conquests of expertly had ho.va had spread. Her pupils were her champions, and wher ever their enthusiasm could reach some of the general prejinlhvs against public schools were shaken. Hut llor ileiitown was ten mllo away. The new teacher took a tumble down, unoccupied butliNng, with alx pupils, hut In six weeks the place was ton small to hold half of the little Hor dentowners who wanted, at last, to go to school. It had become though no one knew It then an educational landmark. Tha old at met ura where she proved that there was Ufa to Pub lic schools will be taken cars of for the future. Since Clara Barton was tha founder f the Red Cross In America, that or ganisation took the responsibility of buying the school when It wss In dan ger of destruction, but they could not buy the site. Now the building has been moved snd the land on which It stands hss been donated. Burlington county teachers hsve re stored the Interior so skillfully that It la almost exactly as It was when Miss Barton taught there. AS A FRENCHMAN SEES US Americana Are Gamblere In Buslncsa and Caret In Thrift, Is Verdict H Rtndcrs. Half a doren British writers having looked ns over this summer snd record ed their Impressions, a Frenchman, Louis Thomas Is now doing the same thing for the French Cupper's Weekly, the Opinion. "American wastefulness Is a stupefy ing thing to Frenchmen," says Thomas. "We are thrifty and even we must admit, avaricious. Our experts, who co-operated with them in war enter prise, found them sbomlnsbly waste ful, Indifferent to costs snd Improvi dent to the last degree." The reason Is almple. savs Thomss. "Americans are gambler. They do uot wsnt to make a mod erate profit, a ateady, regular, perhaps mediocre income, but, on the coutrary, to make a great deal of money la very abort time, to 'gel rich quick.' "Tbey gamble at business not at roulette or baccarat; but It Is gam bling all the same." I As for wastefulness: "8o many people here have mad their money by chance, by good luck, by a flash of Imagination, and not by the aweat of their brow, that they are nsturally wasteful and spendthrift to an extent which we can hardly Imagine In Europe. "Everyone wastes, even the poor, and particularly the women, who. for the most part do not seetu te have time to acquire the hsliita of economical housekeeping p.ses.sml by omen of the old world."
