Worthless Money.

Farmers, you will soon be disposing of your
surplus wheat and other crops. Remember
well that this is just the time for the sharp
ers and money shavers to put in circulation
large amount of unbankablc funds, with
much that is issued by banks with insecure
securities, and some that is quite base and
counterfeit. In years past, it has been sys-
tematic game to palm off this trash on the
Woodworking farmers, as they dispose of
their produce. Then beware; the operation
will very likely'be tried again this season
We will endeavor to keep the readers of the
Times well posted up on money matters, es-
pecially at this season. Cut this list out, and
when you take paper money, be sure that
you get none of it. We will continue the
list from week to week, with such additions
as we are able to make.

It's announced that Prof. w. p. TRow-
BRIDGE has again been commissioned in the
coast survey service, and that he has resigned
the chair of mathematics in the University
of Michigan to accept the position. Prof.
Trowbridge is justly very popular with all the
students, and we regret to chronicle his resig-
nation. There are now several vacant Pro
fessorships in the University. The principal
reason for this is that the Professors can com
mand much larger salaries elsewhere, and the
action of the last Legislature, leaves little
room to hope for an increase here.--A@a ar

AVERAGE DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE
Professor Buchanan, in recent lecture before
the MECHANICS institute at Cincinnati, said
that in the latter part of the sixteenth cent
ury, one half of all who were born, died un-
der five years of age; the average longevity
of the whole population, was Is years. In
-therseventeenth century, one half of the pop
ulation died under IL. But in the first go
years of the eighteenth century, one half OF
the population lived over 81. In the latter
40 years, one half exceeded 80 years of age.
At the beginning of the present century. one
half exceeded 40 years; and from 1888 to
1916, one half exceeded 43. !, The average
longevity at those successive periods, has been
increased from Is years in the sixteenth cent
ury, up to 49, by the last reports. ioa,
