cropped out one day at a dressmak-
ing establishment where he was in
company with his mother.
Mrs. Gould noticed that for some
time her little boy had seemed fond
of going with her to the dressmak-
er's, and she soon realized that the
clever little fellow was not without
motive other than his natural fond
ness for her society. He knew that
in these centers of fashion making
there were pins, really riotous
waste of pins. One day at the Fifth
avenue establishment when Mrs.
Gould and a friend she had brought
with her were busily engaged in criti-
cising the various imported gowns
brought out for their inspection, Miss
Ward, the head saleswoman, noticed
young Edwin Gould bending over a
! spot on the floor where a box of pins
had been carelessly upset some hours
before. Noticing that he was pick
ing them up she smilingly offered to
give him some.
NO" explained Mrs. Gould, he en-
! joys collecting them. At home 1
sometimes strew them over the floors
| just to give him the pleasure of pick
ing them up"
Apparently unaware of the COM
ment he had excited, the child con-
tinued his researches, and later,
when Mrs. Gould had gone into an
other room, and a saleswoman APP
preached and offered him a hairpin
to dig the more recalcitrant pins
from the cracks, he was so much alb
sorbed that he did not even look up
to reply.
Even when she told him that he
would break his finger nails in the
pursuit he did not falter, and only
when she explained that the hairpin
would greatly increase his speed in
acquiring pins did he accept it.
why do you pick up pins?" she
asked, encouraged by his gracious ac-
ceptance.
Il get pennies for Them" answered
young Edwin, promptly 81 pick up
all l can find. and when 1 have 200 1
get cent. 1 can make lots of
money"
He did not stop working to give the
information, and even when Mrs.
Gould was ready to go to her car
riage he left the house of many pins
with evident reluctance, but enriched
by several cents.
The Goulds have always known the
value of money, and the early COM
mercial instincts developed by the
scion of the Edwin Gould family are
the natural result of influences of
heredity and otherwise. Jay Gould
was the son of poverty-stricken
farmer in Delaware county, n. Y.
When IA years of age he started out
to make his way in the world with a
total capital of so cents, and in the
next 80 years carved his way to q
| fortune of more than $4,000, 600.

How to See the Wind.

We know very well when there is
wind, without being able to see it, but
under proper conditions it is possible
to see the wind. Choose a windy day,
then secure polished piece of metal;
handsaw will be the best. Hold the
metallic surface at right angles to the
direction of the wind. For example, if
the wind is in the north, hold the saw
east and west inclined about As de-
Grees to the horizon. Now look care
fully along the back edge, and you will
shortly see the wind pouring over it
like waterfall.

Snakes Sent to Patti.

Patti had a terrible shock this week
at Paris. Some one sent her from
Mentone box containing three snakes,
each about a yard long. She thought
she was getting a nice present, and
on opening the box and seeing nothing
but dry grass, confidently ran her hand
to the bottom into cold, Shiny, wrig-
Cling mass. She uttered cry ana ran
into another room. and was hysterical
for two hours. The snakes escaped
and crawled about under the furniture
until finally they were killed. On ex.
animation it was found that they were
not poisonous reptiles

YOUNG EDWIN GOULD.
Although But Eight Years of Age He
Is Displaying Rare Talent as
a MOney-Maker.

The Gould family heritage, which
seems to be to make millions out of
pennies, has developed in a new CEN
ter. Edwin Gould, Jr., has set up
in business for himself. This is sur
prising, for Edwin Jr., is but eight
years old. What is more, he is much
in earnest over his money making
venture, and, like his father and
grandfather, has chosen to begin in
a small way. He is in the retail pin
business and his scale of prices is one
cent for 200 pins.
Young Edwin drifted into the pin
business rather unconsciously, but
his efforts were well directed from
the first, nevertheless. He is a
grave child and among his earliest
reflections was one on the waste of
things in general and pins in partic-
ular. He conceived the idea that the
pins thrown away should be saved,
so he started out simply as a collec-
tor. He gathered hundreds of these
little brass strays and castaways
with no thought of gain.
At this stage of his development
heredity asserted itself and young
Edwin came to the conclusion that q
thing could>not be pleasurable unless
profitable. So he put price upon
his labors and in the Gould pin es-
tablishment the motto, 1900 pins for
one cent" was created.
Edwin had the pin collecting fad
for some time before it was known,
but his unnatural business instincts

Sacred to the Memory
of
MAJOR EDMUND OGDEN
Erected by His Friend,
Joseph o. Sawyer.

1t will be recollected that several
years ago the government sent out
surveying parties to find the geOgraph-
zeal center of the United States. These
parties, coming in from different di-
rections, met at the grave of Maj. Og-
den, and the monument marked the
exact spot they were looking for.
Truly, Truth is stranger than fiction"
1t is situated on an elevation which
can be seen for many miles, and it
seems fitting that the center of this
great country should be marked by
the last resting place of one who gave
up his life for it and was promising
pioneer officer of the frontier army
service.
Dr. f. o. Sawyer, says the Los An
geles Herald, has in his possession a
silver mug presented to him by the
major when he was named for him. and
also gold-headed cane which was once
the property of the major and which
was presented by his widow to J. o.
Sawyer at the time the monument was
erected,

and broken shoulder, but Pablo never
yielded an inch, once fairly within that
embrace and he would have been
crushed into lifeless mass. For a
moment, God, it seemed an hour, they
stood, then the jaws relaxed, the bears
head and shoulders swayed, his paws
slipped from their hold and the Indian
stepped back as the huge beast crashed
to the ground. Pablo turned to us with
something between smile and a
grimace, but there was pride in his tone
and bearing as he quietly said:
EEL oso is dead, senors, and Pablo, Of
San Ysidro is yet living" then he stag
gered toward his old pinto pony. A
messenger was hurried to the nearest
station for a surgeon, but by the time
he arrived we had the bleeding stopped
and the wounds made by the claws
dressed in homely way. The surgeon
pronounced the most serious injury
only broken collar bone and that. with
the flesh wounds, would heal quickly
owing to the patients pure blood and
iron constitution. Pablo's necklace is
heavier, and now when bears are the
subject of conversation he sits quietly
in his place rolling cigarettes while
others do the talking-Pittsburg

A new ANBMIA
GERM DISCOVERED
Disease Peculiar to South
ern States.
One Case Found in This City-Parasite
Discovered by the Bureau of
Animal Industry.

At the fifth annual meeting of tho
American Castro Enterological Associa-
ton held at the Shoreham. May /. Dr.
Z. w. Stiles, zoologist of the Bureau of
Animal Industry. announced i new dis
covery in connection with anemia in man.
which has very important and prac,i-
cal medical bearing, more particularly for
the Southern States
During the past two years, about thirty
five cases OF a special kind of anemia
In man. known as tropical or miner S
anemia, or uncinariasis, have been recog-
nized in this country, but il has been
supposed that the disease was ouly spor-
adic. and that these cases represented an
infection which had been introduced into
this country from Europe.
Uncinaria Americana.
During the past week, however, the
Bureau OF Animal Industry has been able
to prove that two totally distinct para
sites have caused the American cases.
One of these parasites is identical with
the worm which causes the same disease
in Germany, Italy, and Egypt. and is
known as Uncinaria duodenalis. The other
germ is entirely new to science and has
been named Uncinaria americana.
The natural conclusion following this
discovery is that besides the few cases
OF miners anemia or uncinariasis which
nave been imported from Europe. there
exists In this country a distinct American
disease which has thus far been confused
with anemias due to other causes, or the

This new discovery will probably clear
up many a doubtful case of disease which

only one case OF this maladv has ever
been recognized In this city. This was in
the service Of DR.. Claytor, at Garfield Hos
pital 1t was in part in connection with
this case that the Bureau of Animal In
dustry made the new discovery.
Lively Interest in Discovery.
The physicians present at the meet;,e
expressed very lively interest ia the dis
covery of the new parasite. which was
demonstrated to them under the micro
scope. and DR.. Stiles received numerous
congratulations upon his work.
Several years ago, during the seal con-
troversy with England, the bureau dis
covered that about II per cent Of all the
young seals which died were infected with
a very similar disease, and this same
malady has also been found to cause Sc
rious losses among the sheep, goats, and
dogs of the South
The so-called typhoid fever of cats Is
another malady which is almost identical
with the newly described human infec-
tion.

Deadly assaults upon aw-abiding men,
