Fortunes from Rags.

It is astonishing what immense sums
ragpickers receive in the course of 4
day. The combings of women's hair
sell at eighty cents q pound: this
means three hundred dollars to the
knights of the hook. "Merinos." as
they are called, are another source Of
profit. They are the scraps of tailors
and dress-makers and bring about
thirty-six thousand dollars = year.
Old bones bring about one hundred
Thousand dollars year. Papers, corks
and crusts Of bread all go to different
industries and bring large sums. Elec-

Unsel6shness, it has been said, is the
greatest virtue of all, yet it is possible
to carry even this amiable quality too
far. It would seem that nothing but
good could result from our efforts to
help others, and we cheerfully deny
ourselves pleasures and luxuries that
we may minister TO our fellows Too
late We find that when we have not
fostered shiftlessness and laziness we
have produced the bitter sense Of loss
Of Independence and thanklessness
Also we can Be 50 loyal that we de-
ceive and lead astray those who trust
us, and suddenly hsd we have been
harboring . wrong-dosr and shielding
IN evil. We have allowed loyalty
TO crowd out our judgment and
70 blind our sense Of justice.

was properly impressed. Jimmie, too,

her angriest moods never invented.
There is always glare of light al
night. There is no constant expecta-
tion of reaching port, and life soon be-
comes dreary monotony.
In case the light-ship should be cast
adrift, it has been fitted with sails
which will enable it to hold its own in
storm and stress. The hold is fitted
with spacious Sstore-rooms and sleeping
quarters, and . machine for compress
ing the air which blows the fog horn.
These fog-horns are what are known in
this country as ''siren. whistles. They
are called sirens probably because that
is what they least resemble. They be-
gin their noise with . very thin high
note that distresses the ear. Then
they descend to the low note. and mp
and down in rapid succession the
shrieking demonlike noises race. One
French writer has said that the possi-
bilities of this fog-horn are such that
he wonders that some music-leader
has not introduced it in the orchestra
when the Wagner operas are played.
A compressed-air trumpet, he thinks
and il is just possible that there may
be little national prejudice in his
opinion-would go well with mytho-
logical characters and dragons apd
uncarthly storms and noises.
The writer says the foghorn
is simply terrible instrument" and
therefore in time the Wagnerians must
adopt it. A big bell is placed on the
ship for use in case the fog-horn should
