Fad bv Hawks.

A group Of men In Washington
hotel the other night were talking
about lazy people. when one told an
anecdote that broke up the meeting.
The relator, observes the Star, said
that family of his acquaintance liv-
ing in southern Indiana subsist upon
fish entirely. A stream runs through
the little farm upon which they re-
side, and fish hawks are plentiful. The
boys of the household keep close watch
for fishhawk nests, and catch the birds
before they are able to fly. Then these
chicks are raised In a happy-go-l lucky
sort of way until the older birds of the
flock train them how to fish.
The hawks are let loose and the boys
lay In the grass by the side Of the
stream watching them. When a hawk
catches fish, the prey Is taken from
the bird. which, however, is allowed to
eat all II wants when the days fishing
Is over. They have enough howks to
keep fish on hand sufficient to supply
them with food, and to sell a few, by
which their scant clothing can be re
plsuished. Not one OF the family ever
attempts work OF any kind, and they
are supported entirely by the hawks.

The Mind in Disease.

The story is going the rounds Of the
papers Of a young woman who fan
cied she had swallowed a frog in water
that she had been drinking, and was
rapidly sinking, all efforts Of physi-
clans and others having failed to afford
her any relief. Finally it occurred to
some one that ut least she might be de-
luded into health, and tiny frog was
caught and put into tube with which
they were attempting lavation of the
stomach. When the frog was thrown
out of the tube the girl expressed the
greatest relief, and said she hoped they
were satisfied that all Of her complaints
had reasonable foundation. From
that moment she began to improve,
and was in short time completely re-
stored to health.
This may seem like an extremely
foolish affair, but it is only one in
stance in many in which the mind has
had q most marvellous effect on the
physical condition. Strong men have
died from the results Of imagined in
juries. No one doubts that persons
have been frightened to death, and it is
time that ridicule of and unbelief in
statements Of this sort came to an end.
The influence Of mind upon matter is
n subject that calls for the closest in
vestigation and the profoundest study.
There is no question whatever that
mental agitation and irritation ag-
gravate, If they do not actually cause,
disease. Delicate people and invalids
should be carefully watched IL they
are to recover and retain their health.
Many child droops and dies because
1t feels that it Is unappreciated or ne
elected. Many who survive merely
drag out miserable existence, instead
Of being full Of joy, hope, energy,
promise and pleasure, and making of
themselves bright and shining lights

Bet His Whiskers.

William Sells has deserted the circus
business to go into the theatrical bust
ness. He now manages New York
theater, but he likes to tell of the old
show days. He had in those days a
partner known Familiarity as Jim"
Hamilton. Hamilton had black,
bushy beard-hair that would have
driven Paderewski into seclusion-and
a general intellectual air. One night
some one suggested that Hamilton
would look better IL he would shave off
his whiskers. Sells, who knew of Ham
ilton's fOndness for his whiskers. Of
fered to bet sos tina, Hamilton wouldn't
shave. Hamilton, who was present,
replied, 81 will take that bet." nc did,
and barber was sent for. Hamilton
submitted quietly to the operation.
Then he asked gently IL Sells would bet
$50 he wouldn't have his hair cut. Sells
said he would. Hamilton took it, and
then had his hair trimmed until he
looked like a convict. When he got all
through he said, musingly: Il have
been intending to shave and clip my
hair but this makes 1t easier" Sells
did not hear until later that it was all
a put-up job, and that Hamilton had a
habit Of letting his hair and beard
grow to such proportions Just to get
some one to bet him that he wouldn't
shave.-New York Tribune.

PIRACY STILL EXISTS.
In the Chinese Seas the Old Trade Has
Many Followers.

In the Malay Peninsula piracy has
decreased considerably since the expe,
dition of twenty years ago, but Perak,
Sanlangore and RAINBOW still distin-
guish themselves now and again by a
little undisguised business Of this
kind. In China the two great hotbeds
OF buccaneers are the places which
have been celebrated in this direction
for centuries-AmOy and Canton
The Annoy people proper, who speak
the Annoy dialect, and live in the wall
ed city, are very quiet, peaceable and
orderly and have pronounced antip-
athy for fighting, whether on sea or
shore. But back of Annoy is the noun
famous district Of Tongan. 1t is con-
nected with the ocean by many arms
of the sea. Its soil is sterile and it's re-
sources are very few; its people, like all
mOuntainers, are thin, muscular, brave
and resolute. Even to-day they pre-
serve neutrality-suspicious. of mill
tary nature.
These are the gentlemen who make
their living by piracy. They and the
men Of Canton have learned wisdom by
experience. They no longer cruise the
wide seas, attacking any craft that
may come along. There are too many
gunboats patrolling the coast-too
many ri1ed guns aud too many yard
arms. Law and order, in the past half
century, have shot, hanged, drowned,
blown up or burned at least 100000
followers Of the 'black flag" To-day
the work Is done upon smaller, but a
far shrewder and safer, basis.
They keep spies at various places in
their neighborhood, who report to head
quarters whenever some junk is about
to leave that has a rich cargo or car
ries large amount Of money. Along
with this goes the information of who
it carries and how it is armed. The pi-
rates then plan to intercept the craft In
some river or arm Of the sea, or else In
some shoal water near the coast, where
there is no chance Of meeting q gun
boat, and where, after the robbery, they
will have safe means Of escape.
Their calculations are carefully made
but come out right only once In four or
five times. 1t may be THAT foreign or
Chinese gunboat suddenly appears up
on the scene. 1t may be that the junk
they are after goes past their rendez-
vous with European steamer or
river launch, or mayhap the prospec-
tive victim is delayed by adverse winds
and tides, and SO does not appear ut the
time and place figured upon. When
they do make capture they are not so
brutal and cruel as in the old years.
For the rest, any one who knows China
and the Chinese will not need to be
told that the booty is easily disposed of
without risks or questions asked

Where Food Costs Least.

The cheapest food In Europe, con-
sidering that it is of good quality, Is
probably to be had in the restaurants
attached to the homes for the aged pen
sioners of the city Of Vienna.
The Poor Law Department Of that
city allows all citizens who are en-
titled to 1t about II cents a day, and
these are the prices and the articles
they will purchase: Half pint Of vari-
Gus soups for ~ cents; beef cooked
and without bones, three and two
third ounces for 3h cents; corn beef
with sauce, four and one-half ounces
for 2ia cents; roast veal, lamb, or pork,
five and one-half ounces for 8 cents;
smoked beef, two ounces for cents;
potatoes, cabbage, turnips, etc., half
pint for cent; milk pudding, half pint
for 2 cents; boiled buildings, four and
one-half ounces for / cent; old white
wine, half pint, cents; red wine, half
pint, @ cents: beer, one and three-quar-
ter pints, 3 cents; milk, half pint, ~
cents, and coffee, half pint, 2h cents.
All of these articles are carefully in
spected by officials both before and af-
ter they are prepared.

cowardice a Disease.

Everybody despises a coward. Yet
arguments can be made that the poor
fellow should be loved for PHYS sake,
and that he should at least have SYM
pathy.
While every one admires the strong
and brave, no one likes the poor fellow
any the less whom nature has made
weak or disease wasted. But there is
no kindness for the coward, though
cOwardice may be just as inevitable,
Just as uncomfortable In one being as
the spasmodic twitching of the mus
cles may be in another.
Courage depends largely upon the
condition of the heart. 1t also has
something to do with the nerves, the
lungs and the stomach.
DIR. Russell, ut Bellevue, will tell you
that he frequently sees patients whom
the slightest shock will throw into
such terror that they have an immedi-
ate idea Of death. He has had patients
cling to him in the night and beg to
save them from death, declaring they
were either dying or something ter
rible was going to happen which would
kill them. This is what doctors call
pre-cordial fright. Those who are sub
ject to it would likely have an attack
on any occasion serious enough to test
the nerve of any man. Those less at
fected by the disease might be courage
Gus enough under ordinary circum-
stances and utterly Frustrated in the
sudden presence of great danger.
1t all depends on the heart. If that
organ catches the breath sometimes
it will handicap bravery. If the lungs
are remiss in supplying good blood, the
heart may kick and the nerves weak
en-. The courage oozes out at the fin
ger tips.
Irritation Of the nerve centres or
any arrangement of the nerves of the
stomach is as certain to shake the body
with fear as unexpected good news is
to thrill 1t with delight.
A coward may be good fellow, and
might be able to look cannon in the
mouth IL his heart, which he can't con-
troll, would let him alone.

Many Cases of Mysterious IiIesss An
Solely Due TO Canine Pets.

Many Gases of Mysterious IIIasss An
Solely Due TO Canine Pets.
A French doctor Of repute advances
the theory that disease can be trans-
mItted from dog to human being.
He claims that many diseases which
are attributed to other causes are real
| ~ contracted In this manner. Consump-
tion is cited as an ailment to which
this theory il particularly applicable,
M well as diphtheria, typhus fever and
cancer.
DIR. Glover, the veterinarian of the
Westminster Kennel Club, said that
contagion from a dog was unlikely.
but by no means impossible. The
easiest diseases to contract In this man.
ne were the itch and ringworm. He
knows Of at least two cases where
mango had been transmitted. The
parasite Of mango In a dog will produce
the same sort of disease In a human
being, but the affection will not spread.
Wherever the dogs skin comes in con-
tact with human flesh an intense itch
ing will ensue. Little vesicles will
form where the parasite burrows in
and produces the itching sensation.
The disease is, Of course, only commu-
nicated when all the circumstances are
favorable. 1t will not attack the
hands, because the skin is too hard.
1t Is not definitely known whether
cancer Is contagious or not, but the
malignant growth in dog is the same
as In human being. and there is good
reason to believe that contagion is pos
sible.
Dogs are not sensitive to consumption
and very rarely have been fed on tuber-
culous meat for months without ex-
periencing any Ill effects. The disease
however. some times effect a Judgment,
and always kills the animal. So far as
Is known there is no case on record
In this country where consumption has
been contracted from a dog. Y
DIR. Sherwood says dogs also have
rheumatism, pneumonia. jaundice, ETC.,
but, Of course, none of these are conta-
gious. The old idea that dog held in
the arms Of a rheumatic individual will
draw the rheumatism from the sufferer
Is entirely erroneous. The animal heat
Of the dog will temporarily benefit the
rheumatism, but the dog will not fall
heir to the affiiction. 1t is disease
caused by an excess of uric acid in the
blood, and cannot be transmitted.
Doctors and veterinary surgeons
agree that ringworm can be and often
Is caught from dog. 1t is apparently
the same parasite which causes the dis
ease in all animals. Dogs and cats will
contract it from rats and mice which
they kill, and children in turn contract
1t from them very easily.
One fact, however, is beyond ques-
ton. More dogs catch diseases from
human beings than human beings do
from dogs. AS rule, a dog is heal
ther than the average man, and can,
consequently resist disease better.

what would the world be II by chance
Youth held It futile to advance,
Futile to dream Of loftier days
Than those II sees, Of sweeter wayb
Beyond its common paths, Of flights
Beyond tho measure Of its nights?
All, then the heart OF youth would beat
With little OF Its passionate heat,
And hope would move In weary wise,
With listiess soul and unllt eyes.
But youth II mighty with desire,
Untiring In It's faith and fire,
And enters where the seasoned mind
Falters and darkly looks behind;
Where tottering age bends low and
weeps,
Finding no profit where 1t reaps.
III youth were not as youth must be-
Strong with the strength OF earth and
sea,
Strong with the glory of the stars,
Defiant OF any will that bars
The long road winding to its goal
Then life would be cruel whole.
But look-theres promise In the bow
That arches with prismatic glow
The heaven Of youth, that heaven which
lies
Wide as the world-begetting skies.
There's promise in the spring-time flood
or youths tumultuous, thrilling blood;
And there is burning, Frightening life
Amid the clashing steel of strife.
All, days Of youth, they speed too fast
But they are matchless while they last.

The seventy-two races inhabiting the
world communicate with each other In
1904 different tongues, and confess to
about 1000 religions. The number OF
men and women is very nearly equal,
the average longevity Of both sexes be-
ing only thirty-eight years, about one
third OF the population dying before the
age of seventeen. Moreover, according
to the most careful computation, only
one person in 100000 of both sexes at
tains the age Of one hundred years, and
only to In 100 the age Of sixty. The
total population of the earth Is esti-
mated at about 1,2O0,O00,000 souls, OF
whom 32,214,OOO die annually. e., an
average Of 9S.S4S day, 1920 an hour,
and 67 minute. The annual number
Of births, on the other hand, Is esti-
mated at 1912, OO0-i. e., an average
of 1OO,SO0 a day, 400 an hour, and 20 a
minute. Generally, taking the entire
world, married people live longer than
single, and those who have to work
hard for their living longer than those
who do not, while also the average rate
Of longevity is higher among civilized
than uncivilzed races. Further, people
Of large physique live longer than those
Of small, but those Of middle size beat
both.
The amount of money handled by the
Post Office Department In its money
order business last year amounted to
nearly 1925, 100000. The Government
allowed postmasters fees aggregating
$3.50, 900 on domestic and $1,000 on in
ternational business, and their Incl
dental expenses were $14S,O0O. The
Government lost $4,000 through lost
remittances and burglaries and $fS,0UO
through bad debts. And still the money
order business paid a net profit of $751;
900. Twenty-Five million people bought
domestic money orders, and nearly
million people bought international
money orders. The people of New York
State shipped $13,O0O,OOO through the
Post Office department the people of
Pennsylvania, 100000 600; the people of
Illinois, nearly $11,0O0,OOO. The people
of the United States shipped more than
$4,500,000 to England through the Post
Office department; and more than ST.
100000 to Germany. Altogether the
people of this country sent nearly $13,-
100000 abroad by postal order, and re-
ceived less than $6,0OO,OOO through the
same channel. But it is worthy Of note
that we sent nearly a million dollars
less abroad last year than we did the
year before.
