My locker and bed roll were In France and I had neg? lected to bid them good-by; I had nothing but musette and kit bag, In .which I had been living for a month. The limping old Mudjekeewls was the shabbiest tub ?n the serylce, slow, de? void of comfort. Her engines took a day off every week. Her smoking room was given ever tb clacking type? writers which manufactured colored tissue paper orders for the decoration of the main coinpanlonway. The white anti-gold music room was no place for one who was constitutionally unable to derivcuaolnce from craps or poki?r.

I was free as air In spite of the livery I wore. I tossed a polished, copy of "Mr. Mitt shlpmnn Easy" Into my berth, cast off my shining greaves and brass-mount ed regalia, chinned myself on the TP Iron that ran across the top of the state room, swung my legs over the edge of the berth and dropped after them. I opened the port hole to the deck and the summer night, disposed tobacco and other necessities In the wall pocgetg, started the fire in a well crusted briar bowl, and forthwith I was in company with an old friend whom 1 had not seen for years?"By 9 o'clock that evening Mr. Jack Easy was safe on board his majesty's sloop Knrpy." ? WILL BE BOON TO INVALID Independence, Comfort, and Exereiee All Provided in New Chair Pro- ' palled'by Electricity. A new era of Independence, comfort and exercise is promised to invalids in an electrically-propelled chair that Is now being made by a firm of surgi? cal engineers in London. In appearance it is little more than a very comfortable, luxuriously-sus? pended bath chair or Invalid's car? riage. The propulsive motion is elec? tricity. It Is silent, travels a distance of over twenty miles on a single charge and has four speeds, ranging from a crawl up to five miles per hour. The control Is said to be so sim? ple that any person, no matter with what disabilities, can sit In the car? riage and start right sway, and It Is titled with reverse on all speeds. It Is only necessary to hold the steer? ing lever with the left hand and gent? ly push over the controller hnpdle with the right hand. The use of the carriage renders an Invalid independ? ent of chair man or attendant, and the cost of upkeep is said to he trivial. . Irish Travel Stops. The tourist resorts of Ireland?the Lakes of Klllarney and dengarrlff? have suffered greatly during the war and the resumption of normal condi? tions, with freedom of travel for pleas? ure, will be required to bring back their old-time prosperity. So Queens town and, to s smaller degree, the city of Cork has been affected by the entire cessation of the extensive pas? senger traffic to and from the United Stntes. CJueenstown was the princi? pal port for Irish emigration to the United States, and the change in (hat respect Is highly significant. There are more young men In Ireland today than there were for very many year;! before the war. Emigration, which for the ten years ending March 1, 1911? averaged 38,808 from all Ireland, fell In 1917 to 2,111, and In 1018 to 1)80 natives of Ireland. Embarkation of emigrants and others from Queens tewn which amounted to 20,883 In 1913, Mini 2t,4M in 1914 stopped altogether In November, 1914. Snakes Friends of Farmer. A correspondent who Is Interested In snakes as" well as flowers and birds and the other more popular things In uature writes that he has gratifying success in locating snakes by merely, listening for (heir rustling In the dry leaves. If one's ears are specially trained f >r snake noises there is no good reason why this method should not be really practical. Unquestionably the majority of wood wanderers are almost blind in llii-; matter of snakes. Unless we almost step on'hlm we sel? dom know that he is lurking near at hand and remaining very still in the hope that he will not be noted, All our snakes are practically defenseless. They are not only inoffensive and tim? id crealures, but also highly useful friends of the farmer. Possibly the haby snakes are in less danger than the i.dults. The little fellows are less conspicuous, and, as before not*ed, they ? ?an hide in very small refuges. Biddy's Logic.
