Cobble stones may not appeal fa th uninitiated a Ideal for coasting pur pose, tint they admirably serve thn purpose. It all depend on how steep Is the hill the cobble pave. In other words. It Isn't the material .that raaket the "slide," tint lit pitch of 'the slop. Those of ns who are accustomed to sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny ascents made slippery by Ice know lit tie of the thrill slide may posses. For some measure of the delight lo the port I frequently minimized hy the frigid air that rushes past our tingling ears and aotne measure of the enjoy, ment la entirely lost by the chill that grip our shivering bodies. Imagine If yon can the thrtlj a? coasting down a hill so steep (hat your "sled" files over tit cobbles much ai la would jeed. over crusted now or an Ice glare. Instead of Icy air that al most chills yon to the marrow at the thought, picture yourself In springtime, Ciirnteiitj and fanned by sumtut.r bree.es.

A dramatic incident In which a he roic young officer faced death In sol dierly manner Is the cllmnz of a true story that recently appeared In Stars and Stripe, the official newspaper of the American expeditionary forces. . He was Francis M. Ieahy of Law- j rence, Massachusetts, and he had ! served In the ranks before he won his commission. He used to tell of the days when he was orderly to Captain Pershing In the Philippines. One day while he was restlag with bis men by the wayside a German shell came whizzing out of ppace Just as the order arrived that the regiment full In and move on. Tbe. shell plowed up the earth and stretched on the ground several men who were Just getting to their feet, ft hit tbe tree against which Captain I.cnhy was leaning and snapped it off like a stHlk of asparagus. A piece of shell struck him in the back and tore Its way through bis chest. "tioodby. boys!" he siiid, and his head sagged forward. Then it was its if. somewhere In the universe, an invisible commander had called, "Attention !" Captain Leahy r.-iised his bend. With clearing voice he calh-d the mime of the otlicer next in command. "I.ieurciiiinf Ilrnisi 11." said, "the command is 'Forward!' Sire the buys through!" '1 In 11 It died. Development of Army Searchlight. A review of the work of the army engineer corps In the war, first Is sued by tbe war department, snys that tbe corps produced a new form of searchlight more powerful than any that bad pr ded It In any army, with which the Second field army had been purtinlly equipped. "It weighed," the report says, "one-eighth as much as Inmps of former design, cost only one third as much, whs about one-fourth as large In bulk, and threw a light 10 per cent stronger than any other port able projector in existence." Still fur tlser to perfect the searchlight, our en gineers wi re at work on a remote con trol when hostilities ceased. Scientific American. Honey 92.1 Per Cent of Normal.

He was greeted as newly married men are greeted, with a kiss, and this, In fashion of hut kind, he returned with Interest "Of course we shall go out to dl ner, darling." he remarked. "Tes, dearest," replied the happy young woman. "But one of tnese days we shall have a dinner here, darting, shall wo not, of your own cooking?" "Of course, dearest," she replied. "I am getting along famously with my cooking lessons." "And It will be uch a change." he continued, "from the monotonous far of the restaurants." There were more kisses.

Ohio Observer. , Something to It After All. Tin- hostess had talked about her wonderful ancestry until her guests were bored to distraction. No one made any comments, but still she was determined to w in some. So she turn ed to the young woman next to her mid said: "Isn't It splend'd to have an ancestry of which one can bo proud?" The young womasi. who was very successful indeed, smiled and calmly rejoined: "I really don't know. You see I've been so busy all my life try ing to do something worth while ao that my ancestor, should they sud denly come to life, would not feol ashamed of me. that I've had very lit tle time to bunt information about them." Temperament and Witch. That particular, kind of tempera ment exercise a baleful Influence on wt'tches seem to be a common erpe rienee.
