investment.

A paper by T. B. Thurber in The
North American Review contains useful
information on the slfest investments
Mr.. Thurber's aiticle is called "Indnst-
rial and Financial Co operation. The
writer regards the gigantic industrial
trusts such as Standard Oil, the Sugar
Refiners' combination and the Cordage
compuny's syndicate, rs examples of
financial and industrial cooperation.
The stock of these great combinations
and of others similar in character are
now bought and sold on the markets
under The name of industrial stocks ard
securities, and of such stocks Mr.. Thur
Der on the whole thinks well. The
worst possible investments he declares
TO be railroad securities, quoting as
follows to show how railroad investors
are swindled:
The Chicago Railway Age publishes
a compilation showing the foreclosure
sales and receiverships of railroads in
tie United States during 1890, which
strikingly reflects the depressed condi-
ton of that interest. Within the past
year twenty-nine companies were sub
iected to foreclosure sale, with fund
ed debt of 800, 1851 900 and capital
stock of SOL, 1854, 900. Discouraging as
this showing may appear, yet it is fact
still more discouraging that the fore
closure OF the last fifteen years show
even higher annual average than those
of 1890. Since 1875 the aggregate fore
closure sales cover 50,525 miles, with
50, 1865 ,000, 600 of combined stock and
bonds, or an average of $101 100000
per annum. OF this huge total $780,
600, 1000 occurred during the three years
1885, 1886 and 1887; and yet so little
was the moral effect of those disastrous
years that, Immediately following, a
furore of speculative construction set in
crisis from which we are now emerging.
The foregoing significant figures, how
ever, tell only part of the story: for
within the past year 2,963 miles of road
have been placed under receiverships,
with combined total-o capital stock
and bonds amounting to $105, ,007, 900.
When may we expect investors to learn
better than put their capital into rail-
road schemes started on wholly spec
ulative basis?
Among the best forms of investment
the writer mentions the poor mans
friend, the building and loan associa-
tions. But these ought to be under
strict state supervision, so that no spec
ulators can form sham associations OF
this kind and deprive the poor man OF
his earnings. OF these associations Mr..
Thurber writes:
The aggregate resources OF the saw
ings associations of the country arc
nearly 60 per cent. of the entire assets
of oil states, saving, loan and trust com
papies and private banks and bankers
from which reports were received last
year. Their deposits were less than 10
per cent. below the national banks,
and were more than twice as large as
the total capital stock Of the national
banks. With this true now, when
ordinary savings banks are practically
confined to small part of the country,
what will happen when the new form
OF savings bank gets its growth
throughout the Union?

Hats and Heads.

1t has been noticed by Henry Heath,
who sends hats all over the world from
Calcutta 20 Peru, that different nation
alities possess heads of distinctive
sizes and shapes. For instance, Ger
mans ave very round heads, pcculi-
arts 7cd by our own royal family.
The aVy-sge English head is what hat
ters call good shape that is, rather
long. The Scotch, ono is not surprised
to learn, are very long-hcadcd.
Canadians are distinguished by cxcep-
tionally large heads, South Americans
by very small ones. Australians,
again, have rather small heads. The
subject is an interesting one and worth
pursuing further if space allowed.
The heads of individuals also vary n
good deal from time to time, shrink
ing during Illness or mental worry,
and generally becoming smaller with
advancing years. As to shape, there
is such thing as fashion, but it only
affects mashers; men stick to much
the same shape year after year. Pail

CarniyOrOuS Parrots.

The kea, or mountain-parrot, of
New Zealand, greenish-brown bird,
formerly as harmless as others of his
class, has developed carnivcrous
habit as fastitlious as that of epicurcs.
1t used TO feed on the berries that grew
luxurantly OIL the hills, but it has
changed that simple diet since the
multiplication of sheep; perhaps fires,
too, made that natural food scarce. 1t
now takes a terrible revenge on its un-
conscious enemy. Fastening itself on
the back of poor sheep, perhaps stuck
in snow-drift, and sayagely tearing
away sooi, skin aud fiesh, il pi0ngcs
its powerful beak into the kidney fat,
which it dcvours, and then, leaving
one victim to die in agony, goes off in
search of another. Though it is as
difficult TO feel individual affection for
sheep where they arc slaughtered by
the millions as ii would be to care for
hogs in Chicago, the most unsenti-
mental shepherd cannot refrain from
plying one of his own flock that he
finds in such a condition, and from in
voking maledictions on the whole race
of leas. How they found out that
kidney fat was such q delicacy can
only be conjectured-perhaps in the
same Indirect manner in which Charles
Lambs Chinaman discovered that
young roast pig was good; kea saw
a sheep dcvouring his regular supply
of food, and defending ms property
with what beak and claws he had, his
tongue came in contact accidentally
with kidney fat. From that moment
the satisfaction of appetite and the
qualification of vendetta were united.

First Use of IIOrsesllOes.

No date can be fixed for the first
use of shoes on horses. Horses were
not shod in Egypt, Assyria or Pales-
tine. Aristotle and Pliny give us to
understand that horses doing service
in stony places had their hoofs pro-
tected from breakage and wear, but
Just how this was done is not stated.
Suctonius refers to the dismounting
of Vespasian's muleteer to shoe his
mules. The horses of Japan are, or
have been until quite recently, shod
by means of twisted straw. The first
mention of shoes nailed to the hoof
is in the works of the Emperor
Leo, Ninth century and the practice of
shoeing horses is said to have been in
troduced into England by William
the practice having, of course, been in
use in his own country previously.
Much remains to be done before horse
shoeing generally is anything like
what it ought to be. Most of those
now engaged in this business are no
better than cobblers of the most or
dinary sort, the result of their service
being no end of horses with ruined
feet, that otherwise are sound and all
right. - TCourier-Journal.

Last of the NOrridgcwOcks.

For many years John Sabattus, the
last of the Norridgewock tribe of In
dians, lived at Vasselboro. There ho
spent the latter portion of his days,
and acquired the high esteem of the
white men far and wide. lie was a
tall man, over six feet in height, and
possessed of great strength and power
of endurance. When General Arnold
marched his army on his celebrated
expedition northward through the
woods of Maine, John Sabattus was
his guide. The services he thus rem
dered are by no means slight.
When the expedition was over he
made Vasselboro his home, and here
is his grave. No stone marks his
resting place, and it is only few of
the Oldest people around that can
identify the spot. Had some James
Fennimorc Cooper written of him as
Cooper did of the "Lnst of the Mohi-
cans" doubtless an imposing monu-
ment would have lowered above his
remains Fairfield (Me.) journal.
