If allowed to live. the ordinary barn
yard hen Is a wonderful combination Of
productive forces. In five years time
she will lay 700 eggs, each contain
ing $50 grains Of water, 125 of fat,
1OS of lime. so of albumen, 20 Of sugar
and 10 Of ash-the most condensed ana
strengthening form of food offered to
man. Every person having a little
plot of ground is able to keep from
half a dozen to many dozen Of these
wonders and so add to the family In
come. To do this to the greatest ad-
vantage, one must know how to care
for his fowls-to guard against. de-

A New Use For Corn Stalks.

A western paper is authority for
the statement that an inventive
American has turned his attention
to one of the farmers crops that has
been sadly neglected, principally be-
cause the farmer is not aware of it's
value, and has invented a way Of
making paper from corn stalks.
Interested parties claim that it can
be produced at one-third the cost
of that from wood fibre and rags,
and that the quality is equal to that
made from linen. The cost of paper
made from corn stalks is SOP to $25
a ton, while that from rags and pulp
reaches $50 to SIS. 1t is estimated
that there goes to waste annually

RUSSELL SAGE DEAD At 80
Venerable Financier Passes Away
at His Long Island Home.
His Remarkable Rise From Country
Grocer to Money Power in Wall
Street-Worth $1OO,0 O0,O 900. 7

New York City. - Russell Sage,
nearly ninety, and the possessor, &C
cording to general estimate, of a for
tune of $S0,OO0,000 or more, accu-.
mulated during a long career as n
of the foremost figures in Wall Street
finance, died at his country house, at
Lawrence Beach, L. I. The cause Of
death was general debility and old
age. On August 4 he would have
reached his ninetieth birthday.
Mr.. Sage passed quietly away in a
state of inconsistencies. By his
bedside were Mrs. Sage, Colonel J.
]. Slocum, her brother; DR.. Theodore
Janeway and Dr.. Carl Schmuck, the
physicians in attendance, and the
trained nurse.
Mrs. Sage was reported to be bear
ing up we'll under her bereavement.
She was a good deal worn by the
strain of the last few days, but vas
calm and resigned.

His Long and Busy Career.

Russell Sage, financier, railroad
man, stock broker, public leader and
man of affairs, was one of the most
remarkable men who have attained
prominence and amassed great wealth
in Wall Street, which has produced
| so many other men of striking traits
and extraordinary abilities.
He was born August 4, 1916, in
| Verona, two miles from Oneida Cas-
tie, Oneida County, N. Y, the son of
a small farmer, and, when he was
twelve years old he found himself an
errand boy in the grocery store of
his brother Henry, in Troy. He
worked for his board and 81 a day.
Although Russell Sage was one of
the richest men of the world, with a
command of more ready cash than
any other. individual in this country,
and for more than forty years a dom
inant factor in Wall Street, his
death will hardly cause a ripple in
the financial world, so carefully have
his affairs been arranged to discount
any effect of his death.
Mr.. Sage'S retirement was so COM
plete, his friends say, that he rarely
came into New York In summer once
he went to his summer home. For
several months past it was observed
that he was a bit childish and felt
the weight of his years.
Mr.. Sage's first wife, whom he
married in 1S41, was Miss Marie
Whine, of Troy. She died in 1867.
His second wife, whom he married
two years later and who survives him,
was Miss Margaret Olivia Slocum, of
Syracuse, and to whose constant care
he owed much of his habitual good
health and his ability to attend to
business with such regularity. He
had no children, and the disposition
of his vast wealth will be Of great in
terest.

How to Overcome Fear.

In overcoming your various fears,
follow each one out to its logical con-
clusion thus, and convince yourself
that at the present moment the things
you fear do not exist save in your
Imagination. Whether they ever
come to pass in the future or not,
your fear is a waste of time, energy
and actual bodily and mental
strength. Quit worrying just as you
would quit eating or drinking some
thing you felt sure had caused you
pain in the past.
