Indians Who Live on Clover.

There are some Indians in Mendo.
cino that may not live in clover as
we understand the phrase, but it is GER
tain that they live on it. Strange to
say, they make it a regular article OF
food, going out into the fields aud
pulling up the plant and eating it by
handfuls-lcaves, stems, ilower-hcads
and all. These same Indians use many
plants that white men find no value in,
among them scaweeds, fungi, lchens,
ferns and coniiers.

HELP THE WEAK CONCERNS.
Solid New York Ban Frequently Go
to the Assistance of Shaky
Financial InxtltutiOns.

Developments of late have given un-
usual interest to the methods followed
by important New York banks i'm as
sisting crippled business concerns.
Every now and then hurried confer
ence is called to prevent the suspension
of some house whose operations are
extensive enough to affect business in
terests disastrously were it's failure
announced. In such an instance half
dozen bankers are usually assembled
and the situation thoroughly dis
cussed. If the concern has!;.ssets suffi-
cient to meet it's liabilities it is gener-
ally allowed to continue in business !;
if not, it goes to the wall, says the
New York Post.
In outlining the usual procedure a
Wall street banker whose advice is
sought by powerful interests every
where when failure is imminent, said :
"The aim always is to save a firm if
failure can be prevented without as
suming undue risks. In this respect
the community of interests idea has
been developed remarkably. for the
cut throat policy of asserting ones
rights irrespective of what happens to
the other creditors is nowadays sell
dom followed.
"The work is difficult, however, and
calls for clean-headed management to
overcome in few months the compli-
cations and mistakes Ct years. 1t
usually takes from one to three wears
to put crippled concern on its feet
again. The process involves a COM
plete overhauling of the accounts and
necessitates shaking out the dry rot
which has crept into the establish
ment. l think that fully 60 per cent.
of such cases result from outside spec
ulatlon, about Is per cent. from incom-
petent management. Ny experience
has always been that where a man at
tends strictly to his own business with
out engaging in outside ventures of
any kind he is seldom in need of bank.
ing assistance. His business booms
itself.
"Of course there are times when the
banks find it impossible to extend the
assistance they would very much like
to afford. Such cases are usually en-
countered when firms assets are tied
up and no sufficient margin exists to
furnish free and clear basis on which
to work out its salvation. Then, too,
a corporations affairs present some-
times such tangled mass as to make
it very difficult or scarcelyworth while
to resuscitate it,"

Statistics of suicide in the Austrc>-
Hungarian army tell dark story
Even among the civilian population OF
that empire the percentage of suicide
is high-l.03 per 10000 inhabitants, as
against 0.76 in England, though still
lower than Germany, whose percent
age is 2.71. Austrian army suicides,
however, are equal to those of any
three European armies put together.
England's army of free men does not
weary Of its own existence. The per-
centage is 2.06 per 10000. while in the
Austrian army it rises to 1883, even
double that of the German army, which
may be described as a bad second, with
rate Of .33.-Indianapolis News.

grapes.
Germany has 81 firms manufacturing
fuel briquettes. These make 1,650,000
tons between them every year.
Only 1916 acres of flax were grown
in Ireland last year. This is a decrease
of 1913 per cent. on the figures for 1901.
Steps were taken recently toward
forming in Paris a Canadian chamber
of commerce to extend commercial re-

given by the hospital to a new methoG
Of Koeing, of Berlin, by which he avoids

much as we eat our meals by aid Of
forks and spoons instead of clawing

devised metal instruments which, of
course, are capable of complete steril-

through very many operations. even
that for appendicitis in the quiescent

READING THE FUTURE.
HOW FOrtune-Tellers Work Their

Ever since Saul proved the incon-
sistency of man by rushing off to con
suit the Witch of Endor after taking
severe measures to extermnate witch

us the good and evil of the future"

Danger In Mountain CIimbin~.

Danger is by no means an attrac-
ton to the true mountaineer. Some
people may SO affirm, but scarcely ever
does an expert place himself in dan
gerous situation, and if he does it is not
from choice, and he does not like it.
Sometimes he may take risk, but sell
dom, unless all the chances are in favor
OF the climbing party and the possibil-
ity of accident exceedingly remote.
What he does love is to eliminate by
experience and skill all danger from
climb, which, to novice, a clumsy
worker or party unsupplied with or
neglecting to use proper equipment
for mountaineering, would be hazard.

If some of the learned scientists who
are devoting their talents to the study
Of germs would turn their attention
to South America and the islands of
the Caribbean, they might make dis
coveries which would prove a bles sing
to mankind in that disturbed quarter
of the world. Why should the South
riot and revolution as naturally as a
duck does to water? asks the Baltimore
Sun. Is it because they are Gf a fercer
and more turbulent disposition than
the inhabitants of other parts Of this
hemisphere, or is it because they are
the victims Of sinister bacilH, germs
Of rampant and irresistible strenuos-
ity?
Not long ago an American savant
announced that in certain parts of the
United States there is bacillus which
makes its way into the bodies of it's
unfortunate victims and produces an
ln7ncfble aversion to physical and
mental activity. If there is germ of
inertia, why shouldn't there be bacil-
lus of pernicious activity and misdi
rected strenuosity as well? 1t is not
fair to the South American b, ethren
to assume that they are totally de-
praved: that they engage in throat
cutting and other bloody diversions
from pure love of doing evil. In some
degree. at least. they have been under
the influence of American and Euro
oiyi1;x,4;D-
years. To some extent they have IN
troduced the forms of civilization into
their governments and social instiiu-
tions. Yet, despite their ct intact with
citizens of the mCst enlightened ma
tlOns and their commercial and CipiU-
matte relations with Europe and the
United States, they have scarce y more
respect for law and orLer than the
human race displayed in the days cf
primitive man.
If there are bacilli in the western
hemisphere Indigenous to the tropical
"egions which incite a people against
its will and natural disposition to com
nit deeds # violence and murder
'avants ought to be able to find rem
dy. The antidote commonly used in
ases of pernicious strenuosity has not
roved success. Repeating rifles.
ayonets and cannon have failed to
work cure. When the South Amer
can has introduced the germs of revo-
'ution and riot into his body nothing
sill deter him from stirring up trou-
ole-not even the fear that he will be
shot or bayoneted to death. When he
IS under the influence Of the bacillus
of strennosity-and that seems to be
chronic condition with him-heis like
The Malay fanatic who runs amuck
xilling right and left. The scientist
who discovers the remedy for this dis
ease will deserve much of mankind
t would be one of the greatest tri-
lmphs Of this century if the ever-war-
ing inhabitants of the Latin-Amer-
can republics and of Hayti were in
oculated with the bacilli of slothful-
hess and reduced to a state of innoc-
uous inactivity. The implements of
var have failed to produce the desired
result. Now let science take hand
and if possible transform the turbu-
,ent folk of the tropics into peaceful
and law-abiding citizens of the new
world.

CALCUTTA'S SUBTLE CHARM.
Fascination of the Indian City where
the Goddess Kali IL Devoutly

The charm of Calcutta works slowly,
and, apart from government house and
its garden, there is nothing which at

pheres do, fills the ina agination. and
there is nothing Which, by enchanting
grace or romantic history, at once stirs
the mind. But the charm is the more
