FILTHY LUCRE.

/ Z IL H Il AC S0AH-
| Most people are afraid that they can't
get money to handle, and now they are
told to be afraid to handle 1t even If they
are lucky enough to get it. The great
trouble with money now is it's "bacterious-
| ness." The little devils that go about
seeking q chance to kill a man, woman or
child have discovered that good way to
deal their deadly blows at the human race
is through money, which goes from one
hand to another, from one pocket to
another, and sometimes from one mouth to
another.
Let those who are rejoicing in the
thought that they are likely to get hold of
some money pause and reflect upon the
danger they are willing and eager to incur.
Let them pay attention to some recent
revelations of the sanitary microscope
Let them take note of the fact that an
"emtnent bacteriologist" of this country
reports that one dollar bill, he examined
contained three kinds of bacteria, and
that the culture made of the notes sub
mitted to him showed that there we're
bacteria colonies on each one of them
capable of invading the human system.
An examination made by an equally emil
nent bacteriologist in England showed
that two bank notes were inhabited by
exactly 10000 germs The researches
of an eminent Spanish bacteriologist re-
vealed the presence on notes of the Span
ish Bauk of Havana of considerable
number Of microbes, and on some notes
as many ns 10, ,0C0 microbes were detected.
Eight pathogenic species were encoun-
tered, including those of diphtheria and
tuberculosis. And an eminent bacteriolo-
gist in New York city has told his little
daughter that if anybody has occasion to
hand her any money che must not touch
it, but must considerably turn over the
rick to her maid by making her handle the
vile stuff
With arsenic in our wall papers, our
dress goods and our pigments, with all
sorts of adulterations in what we eat and
drink, and with thousands of deadly bac-
terra on the money that We may b> allowed
to hold long enough to pass it to some
body else, we seem to be surrounded. The
only safe thing to do is not to wear any
thing, eat or drink anything, or have any
money. We must go into training to break
ourselves Of these dangerous habits. 1t is
possible that we ehau come out as the old
Greek did, who found that just when he
had his horse trained to live on one straw
q day the animal died. But if that should
be our fate we can console ourselves with
the thought that we have done our best to

were dropped in as many places by report
ers of the Tribune. They were dropped in
crowded places, where there was little
chance of their being allowed to lie undis-
covered for any length of time. The re-
porters watched five people pick up the
various wallets. Of the five finders one
was dude, another a barber, the third a
fashionsbly dressed woman, the fourth
printer. and the last a woman who rides
in her own coupe. The barber was the
only one of the five to return the property.
He did not even wait until the following
day, but started out after supper to return
the wallet to its rightful owner. Honor to
the honest barber!
Most races between truth and fiction
result in victory for the latter. A story
telling about the establishing of a ranch
on an island on Puget Sound, by James
Wardner, a wealthy citizen of Fsirhaven,
Washington, for the propagation of black
cats for their alleged valuable fur, was
printed, with considerable interesting de-
tail, in Washington State paper about
year ago. The story, copied all over the
country, turned out to be ''joke." But
for months afterward Mr.. Wardner was
annoyed by letter. from all over the coun-
try making inquiry about the ranch, offer
ing cats for sale, and making all manner
of propositions touching the novel indus
try. His denials of the whole thing were
printed, but they never completely caught
up with the story. Now an Iowa paper
gives the picture all over again, and adds
that the writer has been to the ranch and
seen the cat colony, and that black cat
skin is worth 50.
Letters patent have been granted to Fl.
Augustus Hunicke, mining engineer and
chemist of st. Louis, on a process for the
treatment of argentiferous lead ore con-
tanning zinc. Mr.. Hunicke claims that his
process will bring to use large amount of
zinc which has hitherto gone to loss. There
are annually mined in the Western States,
he says, thousands of tons of valuable ore
which has only had the great detriment
that 1t contains zinc. The zinc cannot be
expelled but by crushing and washing
processes, aud that only when the ore is
coarse grained, and although this washing
process is quite effective in getting rid of
the zinc, it also washes out some silver. |
The Zinc which has thus been washed out |
cannot be treated as zinc ore because there
is present with 1t too much iron, SO the |
only place for it is the dump pile. He |
can smelt this ore in such way as to not |
only save the lead and silver as usual, but |
also large part of the zinc. The zinc col |
lector is then treated to produce spelter. |
From Mr.. Hunicke's experiments 1t was
found that profit of from S. to $40 per
ton of ore is earned over and above the |
usual profit in the smelling of these ores.

Fur muffs are likely to be more fashion
able than made ones, although the latter
are en- suite with the hat when the costume
ia not trimmed with fur or feathers. Fur
boas of the sort worn by the girl in the
picture will again be in quite general use,
though many smaller ones are seen which
end in head. 1t makes us wonder If wo-
men are really cruel. Just as it seems,
they have at least been shsmed into quit

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The climate must be Changing back. "

Kansas City has a clause in it's charter
fixing penalty of So so per capita on all
who do not vote. The record of voters
books show that is, ,271 voters did not vote
last year, and consequently they owe the
city $45, ,677.50. The city counselor has
begun suits for the money.
Canadians complain That they cannot sell
their butter in England because so much
oleomsrgarine is used there. The imports
of the bogus butter average nearly 3,000,-
0G0 pounds per week. The law regarding
its sale is practically dead letter, and it
is everywhere used in coffee houses, cheap
boarding houses and among the poor who
can afford such a luxury on their bread.
The new South is all right. According
to the census reports, Augusta, Georgia,
has made a greater percentage of increase
in manufacture during the decade from
1880 to 1890 than any other city in the
country. The increase in number of man
ufsctories is sos per cent in capital en-
ployed in manufacturing 24l per cent. and
in number of hands employed PAT per
cent.
The officers of the Maine State prison in
their annual report make the rather sur
prisipg statement that, according to an
examination of the records since Maine be-
came state in 1920, almost 16 per cent. Of
all the convicts committed to prison have
gained their freedom by virtue of a par
don. The situation is now worse than
ever before. "There is not . convict In
prison today" says the report, "who can.
not obtain pardon If he Is the possesso,
of few dollars with which to pay some
ghb.tongued advocate or friends who have
some political influence, when some fel
low convict far more deserving, but with
out money or political friends, is obligst
to serve out his whole term"

mouths painted bright red inside and they
are given q cheerful expression and bright
bead eyes, This is enough to please the
tender-hearted woman who has money
enough to satisfy her taste for "cuteness."
The heads are used for buttons on fur and
other oloaks. They make unhandy but

As for muffs-well, it is so nice to have

finally, comes that butcher-nke custom of
putting an entire animal about the throat:
The head being at one end and couple OF
claws, and the body wound about the
throat till the tail can be made fast to the
neck of the little thing, and all four claws
hang on the breast of the gentle creature
who thinks 1t such sweet idea.

A NEW DANGER.

The return of the pocket is something
to be prayed for, and yet, when it arrives
and is unanimously adopted, will women
be allowed to possess them unmolestedl
As the bearers of shopping bags they have
become objects of suspicion, as wesrers of
pockets will they not still be under the ban
of the hoor-walker and emporium" detec-
tivea
1t has been announced in one of the New
York papers that sit is part of the ethics
of the store detective to follow anybody
with handbag" There are numbers of
women who like to carry home their
own smaller purchases, especially essen
tials for which they are in haste,
and cannot "wait for the wagon" and
its sometimes belated delivery. And the
handkerchief, the purse, the card case, the
memoranda, behold, are they not all con-
veniently contained in the hand bsgl The
honest matron, the professional woman,
sometimes the woman of wealth, even,
finds the bag a necessity, upon occasion.
Is she then to be followed about by the
floor walker, in order that he may be sure
that she bought and paid for the paper of
pins, and that when she slipped it into her
bag, she did not deftly crowd in with 1t a
pair of ffteen-dollar blankets and a suit
of boys clothes!
To be Swallowed ON account of a shop
ping bag, to be, If shabbily dressed,
looked upon as common thief, or, If in
purple and fine linen, to be suspected of
kleptomsniacsls sins, this is a danger which
Woman well may dread. Without her
bag, and with the big pocket which she is
going to have in her new e-yards-in- cir
cumference gown, she will still be in i'm
minent danger of offensive questioning or
surveillance. Must she 60 shopping with
her hands tied behind her, and q printed

of doing business.
This is a matter that ought to be attend
ed to before the Spring Openings begin to
open. Both for the sake of the shopping
woman and the shopkseping man, who
without her generous aid, must go out of
business entirely, will not the board of
ethical Investigators devise some plan by
which this dreaded danger may be sverted.

years of his life were spent there, and
there his school days began. His edu-
cation was limited, and while still only a
boy he was apprenticed to a house painter,
but he spent all his leisure in reading, in
studying the romantic and historic legends
of his country, and the open page of the
book that Nature held before him in his
solitary rambles over the moors and hills,
and along the banks of singing brooks.
When he was fifteen the family moved
back to old Glasgow, and for q time, owing
to the failure of the City bank and the
consequent depression of trade, they were
in great poverty. The young poet walked
the streets for three months in search of
employment, at last being obliged to take
up the work of a common porter. Even
ing found him at night school, and there
he began the study of French, acquiring q
skill in translsting which he used to ad-
vantage in the exquisite translations of
French poems now to be found in the little
literary efforts.
In his early youth he began contributing
verses to the newspapers, and in 1882. in
connection with Christmas poeticsl COM
petition, he won the first prize for his
"Leddy May" the ballad which gives the
name to his volume. He was i'll at this
time, and long months of suffering were
before him. He was only twenty-three
when he died, his songs unsung, the grand
possibilities of life unsttained.
His ballads show genuine feeling, and
much of westness, with the promise of
power when his poetic gift shor,d have
had opportunity to expand. His dialect,
instead of detracting from the beauty of
his poems, seems to give them additional
grace and force. Fortune was not kind to
