Now that British consols are again

able to remember what was pointed
out by English financial journals sew
eral months ago, namely. that these
comparisons are misleading because of
the different rates Of interest. Up to
1889 consols brought in three per cent
interest; from 1880 to 1908 the rate was
two and three-fourths. The present
rate Is two and one-half. In 1870 the
three per cent. consols sold at low as
eighty-eigh and one-half To reach
the same level of net yield as then, con-
soils at the present rate OF interest

In the Northern Shan States on the
border of Burmah there is tribe
called the Wild Was, announces the
st. Louis Star. These people propitiate
with human skulls the demons whom
they worship. Outside every village in
their country there are many posts, all
in line, decked with human skulls. A
niche is cut in the back of each post,
with ledge on which the skull can
rest and grin through hole in front of
it. Every village has dozen and
some as many as a hundred of these
head posts. Fresh skulls are In special

THE AGE ORACLE.

A pleasant evenings amusement for
young folk may be obtained by the fol-
lowing simple combinations of figures.
Tell your friends as follows: Write
down the day of the month on which
you were born, and on the right hand
o this number write down the number
OF the month. Multiply The number
thus formed by two; add FIVE; multiply
the result by fifty; add your last birth
day: then add 1856.
When he has performed these oper-
atoms let him hand you the paper, ana
you then slyly deduct 615, when the
remaining figures will give you the
day, month and age. Thus, supposing
he was born on November 8, and Is

your instructions, he first puts down

We're no chairs or tables, because the

either, and yet the father and mother

home very nice and comfortable one.
Perhaps you think they lay on the
floor, but. indeed, they did just the
opposite; they hung from the roof with
their heads down!
These queer creatures slept all day,
and at night went out to take the air,

A Belgian inventor has devised
means for extracting the energy from
black smoke and turning it to practical
use. In certain factories where his
apparatus has been introduced the
smoke arising from bituminous coal is
driven by fans into porous receptacle,
over which flows spray of petroleum,
and the smoke is thus ignited. 1t Is
stated that the combustion gives out
