WEALTH OF THE woRLD.

The total wealth of the world is
estimated at S40O,000.OO0, ,OOO.-
These figures are probably lower
than they should be, for the rca.
son that statistical returns from
South and Central American
countries and from the semicivili
zed portions of the globe, such as
Aslatic nations and the Ottoman
Empire, are very inaccurate and
incomplete. But takiug the estl.
mate as correct, the United
States owns one.fourth, or Slp0,.
100000, 900, of the entire accumu-
lated capital of the world. This
fact, however, does not mean That
the Americans are the best off
financially of all the people Of the
earth. The English are the
wealthiest, with the Scotch Il
close second. Australia comes
next, than France, and after her
the United States.
The per capita wealth of Eng.
land is 81, ,5S4; Scotland, 81 251
Australia, 81, 1913; France, Sl,2lO.
United States, 81. .123.
The per capita wealth in 1900
had risen to 81, ,235. Although
our country is not at the top so
far as wealth is concerned, yet
as regards to the public debt it
is better off than any other nation
The percentage of debt to wealth
here is the lowest. being less
than ! per cent, while that Of
France is the highest, being over
Il per cent. A conclusion very
favorable to the United States
may be drawn from these figures
Excepting Australia this nation

II is reported that the Cham

Company intend 10 erect a toll
gate at the old Buzard property
on the top Of Rays Hill. Since
the abandonment of the pike in
Bedford county the company had
no toll gatherers between Green
Hill and Rays Hill a distance OF
about eight miles. One erected
at Saluyia and one at the top OF

near Liverpool where she is now kept un-
der observation, owing to the occasionally
sudden visits of less desirable selves
One of the strangest of the personalities
was one that named itself "Adjuica Unena."
This self stayed only q fortnight and was
unable to walk, but proved to have a re-
markably memory for the small events of
her childhood up to the date of her in
fuenza, knowing nothing of what had hap
pened since. Another self was only few
hours old, although she could read An
other self was blind and yet manifested
marked ability In drawing and could copy
pictures guided only by the sense of touch
which seemed almost miraculous. Her eyes
were normal. but repeated experiments of
holding book between her eyes and the
drawing she was copying proved that she
was following the lines of the picture to be
copied by some miraculously delicate sense
or touch and not by sight. When the
picture was moved away from her she could
not proceed with the copy until she had
cropped after the original and placed her
fingers on its lines. In this stage she US
ually understood nothing that was said to
her. When she emerged from this stage
Germ color more than four inches away,
but in compensation her hearing became as
mysteriously acute as her sense of touch
had been in the previous stage
Two of her selves were terrifying. In
one of them she named herself 1.-The Dread
full Wicked Creature She was violent,
she was caught trying to throw her little
sister into the fire. The other self, which
developed when she was about seventeen
took the form of desperate affinity for the
opposite sex. but this stage did not last
long and at last accounts Pretty Dear
seemed to be getting the upper hand of
the syndicate.
All these personalities came and went,
usually without warning, beginning where
they left off before, however long ago that
might have been. Sometimes the girl
seemed conscious Of the fact that she had
more than one personality, but in other
phases she seemed cut off physically as
well as mentally from all that had gone
before. In one Of them she usually suffered
greatly from toothache, which always
vanished when her other self came on
the stage. One of these periods of tooth
ache became so severe that the tooth had
to be pulled. Another self who came along
soon after was nightly surprised to find
that tooth gone.

The New York Herald estimates that the earn

chance TO see how Ii Is done In Washington,
because a great many live In the woods up

from the mountains, where the deep snow
lies all the year round.
One day a man who was out In the woods,
In walking around the bend OF a stream,
saw Just before him a small black bear
standing quite still upon the bank
He at first thought OF shooting il, but re-
membered that IL could not be killed with
the fine shot In the gun he carried and IL is
very dangerous to merely wound a bear.
He was anxious To go down the stream,
yet could not so long as the bear stood di-
rectly in his way and would not run off
into the thick forest as they usually do
when a man comes near.
This bear did not seem to know that any
one was around. and stood as still as the old
log beside him, with his eyes fixed upon the
water running at his feet.
He stood still that a little bird. who

the bear did not move.
The man began TO wonder what was the
matter. and, forgetting 10 be afraid, walked
a few steps nearer, but still the bear stood
and looked at the water.
All or sudden there was a great splash,
after which the man noticed a large, shin
ing salmon trout fioundering upon the
shore; for quick as a flash the bear had
dashed his great. fiat paw into the water
and thrown the fish out of the stream,
almost before * had time TO even think OF
danger. Then he began to make his dinner
upon IL. This did not take him very long
and after IL was eaten he bolted off into the
woods and the man was able TO go on his
way.
He met more bears that day, but all
along the stream he saw the scales or
pieces OF half-eaten fish. and knew that
this must be the usual way for bruin 10
