THE SLEEPING PORCH
r|pIlE sleeping porch is something
A. which is added to a house in
order to provide more room for fr< h
air and feet. Every night during (In*
heated term thousands of new, expen¬
sive sleepin’?* porches are crowded
with feet which protrude carelessly
from the coverlets, instead of having
to lie run out of a hall bedroom win¬
dow in the effort to cool off. All over
the middle West, at tin's time of tin*
year, myriad number of faithful feet
wearing patent corn pads are led into
sleeping porches by their owners and
pul where the mild evening zephyr
and the stray lightning bug can roam
over their surface.
Nino times out of ten the sleeping
porch is an afterthought. It is one of
tlo 4 most high-priced thoughts a man
c: n have, if he is going to keep up
> h some neighbor who started his
si (phig porch immediately after the
cistern was dug. It costs more to tie a

story of an old house than it does to
build a bungalow from the ground up,
,including a hot-air furnace and open¬
work plumbing. This is because the
work is never started until a hot night
comes along and parboils the entire
family to a delicate pink hue.
Most people never use the sleeping
porch except when it is necessary to
• si ve human life. It is sad to see men
put hundreds of hard-earned dollars
i 'to a capacious, hard pine sleeping
j porch and allow it to stand idle and
a elect dust and autumn leaves. It is
■equally sad to see a large family troop
into one of those porous porches on
the first hot evening and discover that
the beds have not been made up since
the 31st of the preceding August. This
causes much discontent on the part of
husbands who were led to expect dif¬
ferent treatment prior to the wedding
•morn.
| Some enthusiasts use the sleeping
iporch the year around, retiring in the
• dead of winter with a soapstone, a set
of earlaps, a fur boa and four pairs
of woolen underwear. This gives them
;plenty of fresh air and also encour¬
ages the growth of the unobtrusive
chilblain. After a while they get so
accustomed to it that they can remove
ore layer of underwear and substitute
a hotwater bag, located in the small of
t .e back. Those who think that all of
|the heroes and heroines were in the
European war should try this next
v ater for one week, and jot down
tl eir impressions after coming out of
the hospital.

PAYING FOR WANTON WASTE
i
Settlers Have Lived to Regret the
Ruthless Destruction of Their
Black Walnut Trees.
Not many years ago the settlers of
the middle West were girdling black
walnut trees In order to kill them, the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ob¬
serves. They were too lajzy to cut
them down and took this method to
destroy the life of the trees, so that
they might plant corn and sow grain
among , the dead and leafless trees.
In some localities mills were sawing
(he walnut logs Into lumber for all
purposes, even for boarding, floors
and clapboards, inside finish and
everything that could be made from
, it; and many a good walnut board has
been split up for kindling.
Walnut was then cheap and plenti¬
ful. The settlers wanted to clear the
land, and no one thought that the
timber would become exhausted. Then
the forests were full of grand old
trees, any one of which would today
pay the possessor the purchase price
of many acres of land.
Today walnut Is hard to find and
the price Is very high, as Is Illustrated
by the fact that a Maryland farmer
recently sold four old walnut stumps
for $1,000—just such stumps as the
farmers worked hard to pull and burn
to get them out of the way.
Walnut Is not alone In Its scarcity,
but the many purposes for which wal¬
nut could be used made It a wood of
great value, and now efforts are being
made to reforest the denuded lands
with black walnut. It is safe to as¬
sume that those little trees will be
watched with great care until they
grow to merchantable size, and then
others will be set to replace the cut¬
tings. There will be no more ruth¬
less destruction of the forests, wheth¬
er it be walnut or any other variety
of wood. The people have learned a
lesson; a costly one, It Is true, but
one that will never be forgotten.
The demands for timber are such
that all governments are now pro¬
tecting the forests, and the time is not
far distant when the owners of timber
and timber lands will be the men to
whom the people will take off their
hats, and to whom they will even get
down upon their knees, so to speak,
for timber will be king.
Famous Meeting Places.
Periodical gatherings of men with
n common object In view go back to
nnclent history, for man Is gregarious,
likes to meet with his fellows to air
his own opinions and to become ac¬
quainted with the views of others. It
was In England that such meetings
were first designated by the name of
“club” when wits, writers and actors
met "good thoughts to exchange.”
Should you ever walk along Cheap
side In London you will see between
Friday street and Bread street the
spot whereon once stood the famous
Mermaid tavern, where Ben Jonson
founded his club, numbering among
its members such great lights as
Shakespeare, Beaumont, and Fletch¬
er. Brilliant must have been the
flashes of wit that selntllated within
those walls. There is also the famous
Will’s coffee house, a favorite resort
of Dryden and other literary men of
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen¬
turies. When they began to sell "tea
In the leaf and drink” in those
rendezvous of refreshments, the Eng¬
lishman must truly have come into
his own, for who so devoted to that
amber beverage as the sons of John
Bull?
A Missed Opportunity.
A mayor of a small Indiana town
was making a speech at one of the
town school houses. Naturally he was
telling of all th,e accomplishments of
his administration. And always af¬
ter he had told one he turned to¬
ward his wife who was In the audi¬
ence and said. “My wife will hear
me out In what I have Just told.”
Over and over he repeated his
proof; over and over he repeated bis
rather long drawn out boasts despite
his yawning audience. And finally at
last he stopped. Then an Irrepres¬
sible liigh-school youngster turned to
his companion and said in a tone
loud enough to be heard by the people
in his vicinity, “Gee I’m so tired that
I wish his wife had borne him out the
first time he suggested It”
Modern Warfare.
Fresh troops were coming up to re¬
place a regiment of color that had
been unsuccessful In a recent attack.
On the way In one of the debonair
arrivals undertook to extract a little
information on the subject of said at
tack from a member of the retiring
force.
“Hey! What’s the matter with youse
guys, anway? Ain’t your outfit got
any punch?’
The discouraged one rolled a bale¬
ful eye In the direction of this un¬
necessary addition to his trials, and
replied:
“You tell ’em, boy 1 You tell ’em!
But we didn’t get no suppoht. That
there ahtlllery didn’t give ns no ga¬
rage!”—Saturday Evening Post.
Immense Telescopes.
The largest refracting telescopes In
the world are In the United States—
at Yerkes observatory, Geneva Lake,
Wls., at Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamil¬
ton, Cal., at the United States observa¬
tory, Washington, D. C., and at Har¬
vard university. Two of the most per¬
fect reflecting telescopes ever built
are at Mt. Wilson observatory, Pasa¬
dena, Cal. The latter Is moved by
electric motors In right ascension and
declination. An Important feature In
this Instrument is the different focal
lengths that can be obtained, ranging
from 80,100 to 150 feet.
