Sparrows as Good Samaritans.

The sparrow has never been noted
for it's good works and kind deeds,
but the following little story throws
a new light on these despised little
scrappers.
Last spring young robin was
found f1oundering about gentle
mans lawn 1t was unable to fly and
had evidently fallen from it's nest.
Fearing that the cats might devour
it in the night, this gentleman took
the bird to the rear of his yard and
placed it in an inclosure covered with
q wire screen. While dressing the
next morning he looked out of his
window and was amazed at the action
of couple of sparrows who were car
rying worms to the young robin in the
inclOsure They would fly away only
to return few moments later with
worms, which they dropped through
the screen into the upturned mouth
of the captive. They kept up this
charitable feeding until the robin was
liberated, and even then they hover
ed around like self-apopinted guar
dians-N. Y. Journal.

OLD AGE PENSION IN WALES.
Has Markedly Increased the State
Debt.

Among the claims made for the New
South Wales oldage pension act, prior
to its passage, were that (tIrst) it
would lessen the number OF INDECENT
persons in the various state institu
tions; (second) it would remove much
worry on the part of people growing
old as to provision for the future;
(third) it would have a tendency to
encourage relatives to assist in the sup
port OF the aged, thereby avoiding the
reflections usually cast upon them when
aged relatives became objects OF char
ity, and (fOurth) it would ultimately
diminish the taxation required under
the old system. The act was passed
and has been in operation five years.
The labor members of the federal par
/ lament, desiring to pass similar laws,
appointed commission to inquire into
the results obtained from the New
South Wales act. Among those who
testified before this commission was
the director of government asylums for
the infirm in New South Wales, who
stated, in substance, that about six
months after the act came into force
500 old people secured their pensions
and left the benevolent asylums; that
the majority returned to the institu-
tons and surrendered their pensions,
there now being almost as many in
mates as there had been prior to the
passage of the act; that the reasons
given for returning were that they
were better cared for in the institu-
lions and could live more comfortably
there, and that the annual cost OF
maintenance per inmate at the asylums
was $50. From a statement made by
the state treasurer it appears that the
amount expended for the Old-age pen
sions last year exceeded $2,5OO,OO0,
while the amount necessary to support
the infirm was greater than ever be-
fore, yet the population had not mate
rally ncreased-Brooklyn Eagle.

PURIFYING Drinking Water.

1t is probable that electric purifica
ton of drinking water will soon be in
troduced into the home. This method,
already used by number of municipal
water works in Germany, is based upon
the germ killing effects of ozone, which
is cheaply engendered by electricity II
an electric discharge takes place be-
tween two glass tubes, one inside the
other, whose surfaces facing each 9th
er are coated with metal, ozone is de-
veloped in the space between the tubes.
Electricians have tried in recent years
to simplify the means of electric ozone
development for purifying water. The
ideal apparatus would be one which
housekeeper could put up in the kltch-
en-, and by utilizing the electric current
of the common electric light wires, pur-
ify every glass of drinking water. In
fact, such an apparatus seems to have
been successfully made by Mr. Otto, a
French engineer.
This apparatus is of very simple con-
struction and takes UP little space. 1t
consists principally of small, closed
DOX, the mcCdl cover VI WHlCH 10 iudue
conductory with the bottom. In the
box is an ozone developer, an inter-
rupter and tin tube. Through the lat
ter the ozone, which first has to pass
through cotton stopper to free it from
dust and germs contained in the air, is
conducted into the water and mixed
Herewith If much ozone has been alb
sorbed, the water becomes phosphor-
escent in the dark. The most impor-
tant part of the apparatus is the mix
err" action of which can be interrupted
at will. The apparatus is capable OF
purifying about 60 gallons Of water in
an hour, and the cost per hour is about
the same as that of an ordinary cleo
trio incandescent light.-Chicago News.

Educating ChiIdren's Memory.

AS children, part of the Jap's educa-
ton is learning to notice. A tray with
a dozen things on it is given to the
child for few minutes, when it is TAX
en- away from him and he is required
to repeat from memory the name of
everything that was on the tray. Grad
ually the numbers of things are in
creased, and the time he is allowed to
look at them decreased, until noticing
becomes a habit, and in single, cur
sorry glance catches UP the main idea
and details in an almost magical way.
One mother, who heard of the method,
was so struck by it's simplicity and by
the value of quick observing that she
tried the experiments with her own
children-not with trays and objects,
but in their walks She found that the
children develop splendid memories as
we'll.

Frog Cure for Typhoid Fever.

Your correspondent, like other peo-
pie, lives and learns. He discovered
yesterday that toad applied to the
foot of a fever patient, and kept there,
would certainly cure the patient. 1t
may be that the same is well known
remedy, known of old, but it is new
here A young man in this county has
been very low with typhoid fever for
several weeks; SO ill, in fact, that the
physicians gave him up to die. Anoth-
er young man once suffered with
typhoid and took the frog treatment
and was cured, and so the treatment
was applied to the patient mentioned,
with gratifying results. The young
man is reported as convalescing. The
toads, the story runneth, turn green
and die, having drawn all the fever
from the patient. 1t seems to be an
excellent remedy, but it is tough on the
frog.-Charlotte News.

Odd Form Of Coal.

One of Colorado's greatest discov-
cries in the form of innovation in coal
is interesting experts and scientists in
that state, where a deposit four and a
half feet in thickness has been pros
pected for two miles in extent and has
yielded coal in the strikingly peculiar
form of little cubes and hexagon-
shaped columns 1t separates easily
the seams give off little dirt or dust, it
burns with a blue fame, retains heat a
long time and makes little ash.
It breaks to a small nut size and is
considered suitable for hard coal burn
ers and CRATES. Many regard the new
coal as one of the most valuable finds
in this almost unknown empire OF
riches.

The Oath in Siam.

The formula of the oath of office in
Siam is long and complicated. 1t is
also very violent. For example, here
is such a form of it as high functional
ries go through in swearing solemn
fealty to their sovereign:
May the blood drop from my body;
may my head break in two; may the
crocodiles d3vour me; may | be COM
PEELED to carry water in wicker baskets
to Quench the flames of hell; may | SUI
fer the most horrible tortures until my
years are as many as the grains OF
sand by the sea if I violate this, my
solemn OATH"

DistiEiers Find 1t Cheaper Than Pay
inc Taxes in This Country.

Wy axes III niS COUHli
1t is not generally known that Louis
vile distillers and warehouse men own
warehouses in Germany in which con-
siderably more than million gallons
of Kentucky whisky is stored and will
some time be returned to this state,
says the Louisville Herald.
The reason for storing whisky in
Germany is to save money, although
there may be the contributing reason
OF securing a sea flavor. The national
law formerly provided that whisky
must be taken out of bond inside of
Ion must be paid on it when taken out
1t also provided that if whisky be eX-
ported such tax would not have to be
paid on it at the time of the taking it
out, and, further, that it might be re-
imported upon payment of $1.10 gal
lon. The duty on imported whisky
which is not made in America is 1925.
Many distillers and warehouses;
found it cheaper to export the whisky
and import it later than to borrow the
money for internal revenue taxes. An
enormous quantity of whisky was then
sent abroad, and, as Germany is the
only country which will admit it with
out payment of duty it was sent
there Both Mexico and Canada i'm
pose heavy duty. The distillers fig
ured that the cost OF transportation
both ways was cheaper than the inter-
est on the money with which they
would have to pay taxes at the time.
They could keep the whisky stored in
Germany many years, or as long as
they wanted to, and bring it back in
small quantities, so they were not put
to the embarrassment of borrowing
very large amounts of money for taxes
Congress has since passed law allow
ing whisky to remain in government
warehouses eight years before the in
ternaI revenue taxes are paid.
