Hens Rfshts-

There Is & story of an old New Hampshire doctor who. on taking out a wagon that had not been used for some time, found that a hen was sit ting in 1t. He merely "harnessed up' without disturbing her, and he and biddy made a series of calls. The Boston Herald offers this true story of the town of Amesbury, which owns small fire appartus: Outside the fire limits is a small community that, on petition, received a appropriation for the purchase of a "hand-tub." It was installed in an abandoned a blacksmith shop, where 1t remained for two years, used only for decorative purposes In street parades.
 Last summer a stroke of lightning started a small fire in a farmhouse near by. The volunteer department rallied at once, but when the arrived at the engine-house the foreman stood at the dcor.
 Don't touch her, boysF' cried he. 'T'ye got two hens settin' in the box. Let's use buckets"
 They agreed, and the hens were al. lowed to pursue their tncubattng ways,

MISS GtNEsIvE MAY CATkRRH OF STOMACH
 CURED BY PE-RU.hA

Miss Genevive May, 1917 S. Meridi- an St., Indianapolis, Ind, Member Second High School Alumni Assn, writes:
 "Peruna is the finest regulator of dis ordered stomach l have ever found. It certainly deserves high praise, for it is skiiIfuIb prepared.
 ''I was in a terrible condition from a neglected case of catarrh of the stom- ach. My food had long ceased to be of any good and only distressed me after eating. l was nauseated, had heartburn and headaches, and felt run down completely. But in two weeks after I took Peruna I was changed person. A few bottles of the medicine made great change, and in three months my stomach was cleared of ca tarrh, and my entire system in better condition. ."-Geneviye May.

Colorado Has . Soda Lake.

One of the most remarkable dlscov cries ever made in the region is that of lake of liquid soda in the inac- cessible desert between Crestone, Colo, and Hooper, in the San Luis valley. The lake Is an acre and a quarter in extent and lies at the bot tom of a little basin valley in the des- ert. On its surface soda crystals have collected to depth of eighteen inches, the whole lake having the ap- pearance of body of ice with a hard snow covering.
 A recent examination by the State School of Mines shows that these crystals are 37 per cent pure soda, purer than most of the commercial soda offered on the market. A Denver man, E. NJ. Fake, has secured a lease of the land containing the lake and is now installing machinery which will convert the native crystals into marketable form. There are 1000 tons In sight.
 The School of Mines experts say that the soda Is q creation of feldspar. The granite masses of the Sangre de Cristo range stand sentinel on two sides of the little valley. The feldspar in the granite, undergoing decomposi- ton, collects in the lake basin, where 1t is held in check by an imperytous clay, and proper conditions are fur nished for concentration and evapora- tion

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates

JuSf Discrimination tn Railway RdfeS
 All railroad men qualified to speak on the subject in responsible way are likely to agree with President Samuel Spencer of the Southern Railway when he says: "There is no division of opinion as to the desirab bility of stopping all secret or unjustly discrim- inatory devices and practices of what soever character.
 Mir. Spencer, in speaking of "un- justly discriminatory" rates and de- vices, makes distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and impera- lively required by the complex com. mercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries Of cities, states and whole sections of our national territory.
 This discrimination between just and unjust discrimination is clearly receg- nized in the conclusions of the Inter- national Railway congress, recently published:
 Tariffs should be based on commer- cial principles, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commercial value of the services rem dered With the reservation that rates shall be charged without arbitrary dis crimination to all shippers alike under like conditions, the making of rates should as far as possible have all the elasticity necessary to permit the de- yelopment of the traffic and to produce the greatest results to the public and to the railroads themselves"
 The present proposal of MT. Walker D. Hines, of Louisville, in his re- markable testimony the other day be- fore the senate committee at Wash. ington, to crystalize the flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some government tribunal, and by this very process increase the temptation to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some overpowering and urgent commercial condition.

HAVE GOOD MAP OF MARS.
Astronomer Know Considerab b1e About
 the Earth's Nearest Neighbor.

We can draw all the geographical conngurauons, seas, coasts, islands, peninsulas, mouths of rivers or canals of Mars with accuracy, and We can anticipate what district will appear tn the lens of the telescope, for the length of the rotation of the planet Is known to the hundredth part of a second. As the planet turns upon its axis more slowly than ours, the calen- dar of the inhabitants of Mars Is composed of two consecutive years Of 66S days and a bisextile one of 669 days.
 It is not many years since Mars en- tered into the sphere of our observa- ton. And one can also say that there is but a small number of the inhabi- tants of this world who have ob- served 1t in all its details, and of these the most experienced is Signor schiaperelli, director cf the obserya- tory at Milan.
 The geographical map of the planet Mars has just been Ioade with infn- its care by the above mentioned as- tronomer. One might really consider 1t . terrestrial sphere of continents, Islands, coasts, peninsulas, gulfs, waters. Moreover, clouds, rains, in- mutations, snows, seasons. winters and summers. springs and autumns, prevail, as they do here, and the in- tensity of the seasons is absolutely the same as with us, the inclina ton of the axis being the same as ours.
 Our problem of the habita bility of the stars is limited to observing the celestial bodies upon which the con- ditons are such that organized matter can exist in a durable form
 In the planet Mars the density of a cubic meter of water, earth or any matter is only the seventeenth of what it is here, and ths weight is only .8s. A kilogram transported to Mars would, therefore, only weigh s78 grains there and a man or woman weighing TO kilos would only weigh % there. The years are nearly twice as long as our own planet and the cli- theological conditions seem much more favorable than they are here.
 The conditions necessary to life gre, we know, multiform, as the struc- ture of the organic matter Is so com. plicated.-Camille Flammarion in Harper's.

An Earthouake specislist.

Professor John Milne, of England,
 was for twenty years in the employ of the Japanese government and dur ing this period established an earth quake survey with nearly 1000 sta tons. The cable companies always appeal to him when their lines are interrupted by earth tremors. Some time since 1t was reported that two West Indian cables had broken on Dec. S1. 'That is very unlikely" said Pro- lessor Milne, but I have a seismo- phone showing that these cables may have broken at 1130 a. m. on Dec. 29." He then located the break at the exact spot 1t had occurred on Haiti.

RUSSELL sAee's MILLIONS.
He Is Said to Have Made Them Chiefly
 by Lending Money.

Dy LeuuthR hOncy.
 How much Is Russell Sage worthy"
 Many bankers and stockholders in Wall street have been asking one an other this question, says the New, York World, for, naturally, the accu- mutation of money most deeply inter- ests them.
 The question was provoked by the report that MT. Sage's lawyers are winding up his affairs and that the dean of the street, who is S9 years old and whose health Is not the best, will retire from business absolutely as soon as he can.
 The answers to the question varied greatly. The few who have some ac- quaintance with the veterans finan- cial affairs fixed his fortune as S25,- 000,000; most estimated 1t at twice that amount; many guessed that he had piled up s100,000,000. All agreed that Russell Sage can, at shorter no- tice, lay his hand on more ready cash than any man In this country, barring John D. Rockefeller.
 "No man in America has been more secretlve nor more reliant In business than Russell Sage. He has never had partner in the street, he has worked there single-handed and with both hands, save for the aid of clerks and other subordinates. He has never practiced the modern high finance; 1t Is doubtful if he knows much about 1t. He has made money breed money and he alone has been shepherd Of his flock with the golden feeces.
 His fortune is the fruit Of the pro foundest prudence, the e1remest thrift He has been fortunate in his investments because he has always made sure of their value before in- yesting. He has never taken risk when he lent money and he has done little except lend money for the last ten years. Always, especially in pan icky times, he has received high rates of interest.
 Yet I am as certain as any man can be that when MT. Sage's estate Is settled up and his securities are real ized on there will be not more than s25, 100000"
 So said banker yesterday who knows as much as any man of Mir. Sages affairs.
 MT. Sage has been arranging to re tire from business for two years or more," he continued. He yielded then to the importunities of Mrs. Sage and of pr. Mum, his physician, to pass the winter of his life away from Wall street When Mir. Sage came here from Troy, after serving two terms in Congress from Rensselaer, county, he had enough money to start q broker age business. He made a speciality of puts and calls and so successful was he that I know of one year in which he did a business of S25 y0OO, ,o0C and came out $1O,000,OO0 ahead.
 But that does not mean that he made a fabulous fortune. A man who took the chances he did in puts and calls stood to lose almost as much as he made. It was not until about ten years ago that MT. Sage gave him. self up to money lending entirely. He took nothing but gllt-edge securities and though he rarely lost his fortune did not grow with leaps and bounds
 "I have heard him say lately he is worth scarcely S25,0O0,0OO. He has been exactng in money matters, but Mrs. Sage has given away great sums of money-of course, with his ap. proval."

them about from school to school like
a book from circulating library. Each
case may contain a dozen birds, small
animals or specimens of mineral. The
birds are easily favorites. A descrip-

write little stories of such common

is rather pathetic, but it is better than
nothing.

done in New York, when the right man
tries. Hartmann is a poor teacher in
public school, a Hebrew himself,

tr1ct is the strongest socialist region in

for Tammany, headed by a typical dis

trlct in the hollow of his hand; he gave
out patronage; he was rich. charitable,
as Tammany leaders have the means to
be. Whenthe votes were counted the I'M
known teacher had beaten him. A re-
publican had been elected in the heart
OF the East side, not one mile from Tim
Sullivan's headquarters. Hartmann is
about to undertake campaign in behalf
