Tlflis, Persia, Feb. 15.-Two hun.
dred bodies of victims of the earth
quake which destroyed the town Of
Shamaka, had been recovered up to
last evening. 1t appears certain that
several hundred bodies are
buried in the fissures and debris
caused by the shocks. The quakes
continue at intervals and the work
of excavating in search of the victims
is proceeding with difficulty. Among
the dead are many women, who, at
the time of the principal shock, We're

FIVE DOLLAR BONDS ON NEW
YORK SKY SCRAPERS.

There is no good reason why one
hundred, or one hundred thousand
people for that matter, should not own
million dollar mortgage on a two
million dollar sky scraper building in
New York, as well as any of the hun
dreds of big corporations which now
hold these securities. After all, it is
the policy-holdcrs of the great life
insurance companies and the depositors
in savings banks who contribute their
funds of these concerns which are thus
invested; but how little of the earnings
of these contributions do the deposi-
tors and policy-holders get?
A plan has at last been devised
whereby Il mortgage for any amount
can be divided between any number
of people so that each individual shall
be independent of the others and re-
ceive his share of interest and at
the same time pro rata part of the
profit his money helps to earn in the
operation for money always earns
profits for somebody More than that
he can convert his share into rent, a
proportion each year for term, and
in certain cases, as in lot operation,
he can take "a little bit off the top"
and own that bit free of the mortgage
All the time these share bonds are
held they draw 6 per cent interest;
when they are surrendered they earn
an added profit.
This is the new Share Bond plan
advertised in Saturdays paper.

When the all-important day arrived
Mrs. Whippleton arrayed herself in her

change. took her little boy Harold by
the hand and sailed forth to meet

Miss Schubert. as her musical friend

to Mrs. Whippleton that since her com.

only be just to invite her to lunch.
This she did. and Miss Schubert gra.
cicusiy accepted the offer.

Does Bri.ssh Fsrmips Payf

An apparently forrishing farmer
was asked the other day by an In
qSirer into the state Of British agri'
culture. what his usual profits were.
He made the unexpected reply tbat he
had not made penny for five years.
What he meant was that he had put
nothing by. He had kept his horses
and his carriages. gone about when
and where he would. and lived. rs they
say, we'll. All these personal and
household expenses were not reckoned.
but he was so!emnly Of the opinion
that his five years farming had shown
no profit. This method Of economic
reckoning Is still occasionally found
among farmers. Some Of them keep
no account Of personal or even house
hold expenditure, and there are others
who spend too much on lu1uries. 1t Is
by avoiding this mistake that several
laborers who have risen to be farmers
have succeeded where the farmer born
has failed. It Is commonly acknowl.
edged In the Midland counties, where
farming is not more posperous than IN
other places. that the working farm.
ers" earn a good living. Those who
fail are either poor farmers or under.
take farms Of O greater extent than
they can personally supervise. This
experience bears out Mr.. Rider Hag-
CARDS contention that the encourage
ment of fifty or sixty acre holdings
would in nearly oil places confer ben.
aft on the community. It Is absurd

prospered to such an extent that his

shone and broadened under the nutri-

At this point. In order to inculcate
In their progeny taste for music. and
as their modest household had not yet
assumed the dignity Of having q piano
located In one corner Of the parlor.
the whippletons resolved to purchase
one Of those necessary instruments;
for, though neither could play even a
ragtime symphony without the aid Of a
pianola. they thought that the children
could not fail to all become Paderew-
skis Just BY looking at the piano. and
imagining what sweet strains It could
produce were it ever opened and played
upon.
For the acquisition Of the instru-
ment II was agreed by the husband
and wife that the latter should seek
