FOREIGN Bonds as InyeSfmenfl.

The recent action of American CAPT.
talists in taking $5O,O00,00O of the new
British war bonds gives timely interest
to the article by Prof. Woolsey, in the
May Forum, in which he discusses the
risks in all kinds of foreign bonds. He
tween government bonds and private
loans. A government bond has no
collateral behind it-nO property on
which the creditor may levy in case
of default. The security of such a
loan depends upon the credit and the
good faith of the state that borrows.
Nor can the bondholder proceed sim
gle-handed against his debtor by jul
dicial methods. His only redress is
through the diplomatic interference of
his government. If he be small and
uninfluential holder he may have to
wait long before he can set the gov
ernmental machinery to work.
AS a matter of fact, all government
bonds of all countries are purchased
out of pure patriotism-no else
The bonds sold in this country go to
British residents here anxious to re-
lieve the country to which they owe
allegiance. In other words, the bonds
were taken by branches of British
banks doing business in the United
States.

When. upon the wings OF rainbow hues,
Hope fits across thy pathway here,
And gently as the morning breeze
Her waving pinion dries thy tear.
Oh. yield not all thy soul to JOY
Let not her Establishments allure:
Lies greenest spot hath withered flowers
Whateer thy lot. thou must endure.
II. on the mountains topmost cliff,
The flag of victory seems unfurled,
And Faith. exulting, sees affair
Earth's Idol. Error, downward hurled.
Deem not the triumph thou shalt share
God keeps his chosen vessels pure:
The final reckoning is on high.
On earth thy need is to endure.
With chastened heart, in humble faith
Thy labor earnestly pursue
AS one who fears to such frail deeds
No recompense Is due:
Wax not faint-hearted-while thou toil'st
Thy bread and water shall be sure:
Leaving all else to God, be thou
Patient In all things to endure.

There is matter for more than pass
ing remark in the announcement that
Cornelius Vanderbilt has been elected
a director in the New York Realty
corporation. This concern has q cap
ital of S3,000O 900 and is engaged in
the buying and improvement Of real
estate.
Its command Of almost unlimited
capital and the presence Of men like
Vanderbilt, William F. Havemeyer,
Henry Seligman, Oakleigh Thorne
James Speyer, Charles Steele of J..
Pierpont Morgan & Co. and Charles H.
Tweed in its directory mean that the
same forces and economics of combi-
nation that have done so much for
industry in America are to be turned
to the development and management
of real estate in great cities. It also
means that the best property in cit
les like New York and Chicago will
gradually pass into the control Of men
Of large wealth or corporations which
can afford to improve it to the highest
advantage to secure a moderate and
certain return for the investment. If
the scheme proves successful it will
prove a step toward naturalization OF
all land.

JACK CHASES LAST WAGON.
This Dog, Engaged in singular Pleasure.
Ia Killed.

Is hiIIed.
Jack, the wagon chaser" is dead.
Jack was a diminutive black and tan
dog which knew no other home than
that which he chose for the purpose of
getting something to eat and which
was almost as numerous as the houses
in the thirteenth ward, where the dog
was well known, says the Chicago
Chronicle. He appeared in Sacrament
to avenue early last winter and immo-
diately made himself agreeable to the
hundreds of boys and girls who amus-
ed themselves when there was snow
on the ground by "hitching on" wag-
ons and sleighs with their sleds. Nc
one seemed to krow why the dog was
called Jack, but Inc dog didn't seem to
care what he was called and soon an
swered to the title. He became as per-
sistent a chaser after wagons as were
the boys and girls, and it was for this
penchant that 1.-THE wagon chaser" was
added to his other name. The habit
grew on him to such an extent that he
would case wagons for blocks all by
himself and it was while engaged in
this pastime last week that he was run
down and killed by an express wagon.
He was still alive when found by some
of his boy friends after the accident
and they did everything in their power
to save his life, but without avail
They proved their friendship for tina
homeless dog by placing his body ~
an improvised coffin made from
cracker box and burying him beside
the railroad tracks at Taylor street.

Heirs Form a Combine.

Michigan and Indiana claimants to
the Magness estate in New York, upon
which there is a valuation of $50 .000.-

claim to heirship in the courts. The
estate consists of 5000 acres of land
upon which fair-siZed town has been
built and valuable mines are operated.
Important documents pertaining to
the estate have been placed with a firm
of leading Indiana attorneys and ac-
ton to establish heirship will be
brought into the courts.

birds. Every hunter brings home the
game. No one would think Of bringing
down a roebuck or whipping up a
stream for trout and letting them lie
in the woods.
Bring Them to Church.
If you go out to hunt for immortal
souls, not only bring them down under
the arrow of the gospel, but bring them
into the church of God, the grand home
and encampment we have pitched this
side the skies. Fetch them in; do not
let them lie out in the open field. They
need our prayers and sympathies and
help. That is the meaning OF the
church of God-help. o We hunters for
the Lord, not only bring down the
game, but bring it in.
If Mithridates liked hunting so well
that for seven years he never went in
doors, what enthusiasm ought we to
have who are hunting for immortal
souls. If Domitian practiced archery
until he could stand boy down in the
Roman amphitheater with hand out,
the fingers spread apart, and then the
king could shoot an arrow between the
fingers without wounding them, to
what drill and what practice ought we
to subject ourselves in order to become
spiritual archers and mighty hunters
before the Lord" But let me say you
will never work any better than you
pray The old archers took the bow,
put one end of it down beside the foot,
elevated the other end, and it was the
rule that the bow should be just the
size of the archer. If it were just his
with confidence. Let me say that your
power to project good in the world will
correspond exactly to your own spirit
ual stature. In other words, the first
thing in preparation for Christian
work is personal conservation.
oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
l am sure there are some men who
at some time have been hit by the gos-
pei arrow. You felt the wound Of that
conviction. And you plunged into the
world deeper, just as the stag, when
the hounds are after it, plunges into
Schroon lake, expecting in that way to
escape Jesus Christ is on your track
today, o impenitent man. Not in
wrath, but in mercy. o we chased and
painting souls, Here is the stream OF
Gods mercy and salvation, where you
may cool your thirst, Stop that chase
of sin today. BY the red fountain that
leaped from the heart of my Lord, l
bid you stop. There is mercy for you
mercy thS. pardons, mercy that
heals, everlasting mercy. The II gates
of Gods love stand wide open. Enter
and be forever safe.

NEED A GOOD APPETITE.
Sometimes We Need Change of Foo&
and of Scene.


and OF Scene.
How frequently we hear the remark
made, when persons indisposition is
spoken of, "Oh, he can't have much the
matter with him. He eats well and
Therefore he must be all right" AS a
matter of fact, although a good appe-
tite is sometimes considered as a test
of the state of the health, it is not an
invariable test, for often those who are
seriously i'll have good appetites. This
is the case with many consumptives
and others, but a person with a bad
appetite is not in good health-there is
something wrong with him. Appetite
and hunger are generally used synony
mously, but hunger is more than appe-
tite; it is imperious, but is allayed
after eating. What is the best thing
to do when the appetite wanes? The
usual remedy is a tonic, sometimes II
takes the shape of too frequent "nipS"
of gin and bitters, sherry and bitters,
or some other compound. For a want
of appetite the real remedies needed
are often rest and sleep, together with
fresh air. OverwOrk when feeble is a
cause of loss of appetite. A change OF
food is a good remedy; sometimes the
regimen has not been varied enough,
and the system becomes overburdened
with one kind of H.Sterial, and another
kind is deficient. An entire change of
food may work wonders. A change
of scene, Of thought, and Of environ
ment are some of the best means to
restore a jaded appetite for food. Out
door exercise, work, ea-bathing-all
these have a good effect, and promote
those changes in the body which make
a demand for food imperative. These
remedies are all natural ones, and If
rightly used can do no harm OF
course it requires judgment to decide
which remedies are needed in each
case but if the normal instincts are
needed they will often tell what to dc
it is generally best to trust to them

Where SarSapariIla Comes Ernm.

During the summer many boys and
girls-and grown people, too-line up
before the soda fountains in our cities
and call for sarsaparilla without stop
ping to think, and perhaps without
knowing what that extract is that
gives a rich brown color to the bever-
age. Sarsaparilla is taken from the
root of several species of smilax. a
great vine that grows in South Ameri-
can forests. Jamaica, Mexico and Cen
trail America also export quantities of
the smilax or the extract. One species
of smilax grows to prodigious size in
the great forests Of the valley Of the
Amazon, and the Indians of that re-
gion sell large quantities of it to white
merchants. The Indians dig the root
of this smilax, which sometimes
reaches nine feet in length, growing
horizontally from the stem. 1t is then
dried and is usually shipped in that
state, the sarsaparilla being extracted
by manufacturers. These Indians OF
the Amazon, however, although far
down in the scale Of civilization, place
great faith in the medicinal qualities Of
the juice, and perhaps the nature of
the region in which they abide is re-
sponsible for this. They show much
skill IN extracting the sarsaparilla.
which is done through process of
boiling.

PARIS IS DRINKING MILK.

Has Taken ITO the LacteaI Fluid as a
Substitute for Absinthe.
Paris is rapidly becoming the great
est milk-drinking city in the world.
The increase Of the milk habit has re-
Gently called for extended comment
from the local press. It has now be-
come the habit Of Parisians to drink
glass or two Of milk at the period be-
fore dinner known as the "aperitif'
hour. The change that has gradually
been wrought in substituting milk for
absinthe is said to DE owing to the in
crease in open air exercise among
Frenchmen, which produces craving
for milk rather than for liquor" Most
of the cafes, particularly those on the
way to the Bots, are now supplied with
sealed bottles Of milk, and in some
places a COW is kept in the window,
with a sign informing the thirsty BIZ
cyclist or automobilist that milk made
on the premises is the purest in Paris"
Under these circumstances it Is natural
that the subject Of milk adulteration is
just now receiving the attention of the
health authorities of Paris, and DR.. H
De Rothschild has recommended that
special inspectors be employed to ex-
anime all milk sold. although he deems
that the danger of tuberculosis infec-
ton from milk drinking is really less
than is commonly imagined. On the
other hand, he showed that Paris milk
is adulterated to q great extent and IS
full Of impurities. He further recon-
mends that a measure should be insti-
tuted making it obligatory to have all
milk sterilized according to the Pas
teur method.-Paris Core. Chicago
