In an article on the Wonders
of the Worlds Waste" William
George Jordan, in the October
Ladies' Home Journal, details
how science at the present day
utilizes the OK. mot many
years ago." he says, "when an
OK was slaughtered forty per
cent. of the animal was wasted;
at the present time nothing is
lost but it's dying breath AS
but one-third of the weight of
the animal consists of products
that can be eaten, the question
of utilizing the waste is a serious
one. The blood is used in rein
ing sugar and in sizing paper, or
manufactured into door-knobs
and buttons. The hide goes to
the tanner; horns and hoofs are
transformed into combs and but
tons; thigh bones, worth eighty
dollars per ton, are cut into han
dies for clothes brushes; fore-leg
bones sell for thirty dollars per
ton for collar buttons, parasol
handles and jewelry; the water
in which bones are boiled is re-
duced to glue; the dust from
saving the bones is food for the
cattle and poultry; the smallest
bones are made into boneblack.
Each foot yields a quarter of a
pint of n~eat's-foot oil; the tail
goes to the soup; while the
brush of hair at the end of the
tail is sold to the mattress-mak-
er. The choicer parts of the fat
make the basis of butterine; the
intestines are used for sausage
castings OF bought by gold beat
ers. The undigested food in the
stomach, which formerly cost
the packers of Chicago thirty
thousand dollars a year to re-
move and destroy, is now made
into paper. These are but a few
of the products of abattoirs. All
scraps unfit for any other use
find welcome in the glue-pot, or
they do missionary work for the
farmers by acting as fertilizers. Z"

The greatest run of salmon
ever known in the Pacific north
west has just ended. 1t is esti.
mated that 1900, 900 Sockeye
salmon were captured in the
Fraser river during the past
season, which was at it's height
from July 81 to August s.
The prices for the season aver
age % and and sometimes Sc
cents for each salmon. The
oversupply this season has been
so great that the fisherman were
glad to get 8 cents apiece for
their fish. AS a consequence.
the market prices of canned sal
mon this year will be the lowest
ever known on the coast.
Upward of 5000 men were en-
ployed during the season, two
thirds of whom were Japanese.
A conspicuous feature in con
nection with the big catch is
that hump-back salmon by the
hundreds of thousands were
thrown out of the traps to die on
the mud fats.

We have received a copy of a
pamphlet issued by the Chicago
Record containing the draft of a
proposed Postal Savings Bank
bill to be introduced at the next
session of congress. The bill as
suggested, contains the combin-
ed thought of many minds, drawn
from the study of the various
systems now in operation in
countries all over the world. It
is by no means an experiment,
but is productive of practical
beneficial results wherever it is
in vogue.
The system presents many
features which distinguish if
from ordinary banking, notably
in absolute security from loss.
The government, being behind it,
guarantees to every depositor a
security for his savings as solid
as the nation itself. 1t develops
habits of thrift and saving by
encouraging small deposits.
Many persons are deferred from
banking savings both from fear
of loss and an aversion to MAX
ing a deposit of small sums. In
postal savings banks it is the
small deposits which are sought,
and all amounts from one dollar
up in multiples of one one dollar
are received. All funds thus re-
ceived r free from taxes by the
government of any State and
cannot be made liable to demand,
seizure or detention by any pro-
cess OF law against the depositor.
Postmasters are strictly forbid
den to disclose the names of any
person who may become a de-
positor under the system. Mar
ried women may make deposits
under this act and control the
same as if they were sole. Min
nors above the age of twelve
years may become depositors
and control the same as if they
were adults. Thus habits of
thrift and economy may be en-
couraged in children at an early
age and the foundation laid for
systematic business habits and a
knowledge of the use and value
of money.
The growth of the system will
naturally be slow, more especial
ly In this western country, but
that it is worthy of Endorsement
by every thinking man there is
no question.

Lines Written by a Grave.

[By T. SHELLEY SUrToN.1
Out OF the darkness, into the light
Into the sunshine, out OF the night.
Out OF the desert, into the flowers
Into the shelter, out of the showers.
Out OF the sorrows, into the joys
Into the silence, out of the noise.
Why are we weeping f-he is not gone,
He is but sleeping until the dawn.
Sleeping In silence, sleeping at rest
Out Of the wicked, into the blest.
Out Of the tempest, happy is he
Out OF confinement, into the free.
Out OF the bitter, into the sweet,
Out OF the battle. into retreat.
Sweet be his journey out of the night
Sweet his EMERSON into the light.
