Potatoes as Penwipers.

One hundred and fifty hotels in
Kansas City use style of cabinet
on their desks in which a receptacle
is provided for raw potato in which
it is the custom of the clerk to stick
the pen after it is used for any pur.
pose. The potato serves as a cleaner
for the pen, and also handy place
in which it may be kept. A fresh
potato is supplied every morning.
A guest at one of the hotels where
this cabinet is used took the trouble
to figure up how many potatoes were
used for that purpose in Kansas CITY
in one year. He not only surprised
the clerk, but other guests who heard
his comment. Counting two pota-
toes to each cabinet and one hundred
and fifty cabinets in the city, he
found that three hundred potatoes
were used in one day. That didn't
look so bad, but when he figured
three hundred potatoes day for
thirty days, or the average month,
the figure nine with three ciphers
after ii looked rather appalling.
Now, just figure up what that
would be in year." suggested
another guest.
The man with the pencil figured:
Nine thousand potatoes a month for
twelve months would be one hundred
and eight thousand potatoes year.
I'm two years enough potatoes
would have been used for this pur-
pose in Kansas City to supply"
That will do" said the second
guest. you have gone far enough
with your figures. Just let it go at
that. kansas City Journal.

Manufacturing Gold.
BY FREDERICK UpHAM ADAMS.

The time has come when gold is an
article of manufacture. There are
practically exhaustless tracks of rock
and soil in which gold is being pro-
duced in enormous quantities with
absolute elimination of risk. | shall
briefly consider two typical instances
of gold manufacture, either one of
which is sufficient to doom gold as a
medium of exchange.
In 1884 the discovery of the great
est deposits Of gold in all history was
made known. This was in the Wit
watersrand district of the Transvaal
of South Africa. Compared with it
the famous Comstock Mines were
nothing. Not until recent years has
it been possible to go ahead in the
extraction of the billions of gold
which are scattered through the
rocks and soil of the Witwatersrand.
1t required new processes, but science
and invention supplied them. Here
is a gold-bearing reef, forty miles in
length, twenty miles in width, and in
which boring to depth of $500 feet
show gold in undiminished quanti-
ties. How much gold is there in the
Witwatersrand? Hundreds, probably
thousand of billions of dollars of it!
The Witwatersrand conglomerate
carries only the insignificant amount
of ten pennyweights of gold to the
ton, but it runs uniform, therefore it
is only question of machinery and
labor to determine the yield.
Money supplies the machinery, and
China the labor. The annual produc-
ton of the Transvaal gold factories
now exceeds S100,000,000, and the
record is. broken every month. If
labor can be had, there is no reason
why the output should not reach half
billion year, and the rock can be
worked for centuries without making
a serious impression ON its vast eX-
tent.
Not many years ago it was discov-
cred that all of the soil in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin Valleys was
filled with gold. We will consider
what is being done in the Sacramento.
For hundreds of miles this river runs
through broad valley of width
varying from twenty to more than
100 miles. When it became known
that gold was scattered through the
soil of this 10000 square miles of
valley, capital called on science and
invention for assistance. The distant
mountains were made to furnish
water power for electricity. Then
there was built floating gold factory
at cost of $250,O00. 1t took a posi-
ton near bank of the river, and
with its dredging appliances began
to eat its way into the soil. The mud
and dirt were carried over the huge
scow, the gold extracted, the tailings
were dumped in the rear. Thus was
| witnessed the strange sight of fac
tory crawling slowly overland toward
the distant foothills. 1t rested in a
canal of it's own making; it was run
with electrical power generated by a
mountain brook; it worked twenty
four hours day, with three shifts of
men; the amount of gold extracted
was as uniform as the thrust of it's
motors; its mine was an ocean OF
mud, there was no more romance
about its operation than there is
about brickkiln, and yet that $780,
600 gold factory made a net profit
of 100000 the first year,-Success.

A Field, Marshal of Thrift.

Harper's Weekly, reviewing Rus
sell Sages life, calls him a field mar
shall of thrift, rather than great
captain of industry. 1t says:
Russell Sage was nothing momen-
tous as a captain of industry, but he
was field marshal of thrift He was
an amusing person, neutral-tinted as
to most things. fond of money for it's
own sake, and good at getting and
keeping it. The most significant fact
that is back of the careers of most
of the great money-getters is that
they wanted money early and wanted
it very much. 1t was so with Uncle
Russell He was poor when he was
a boy, and made up his mind that
he would not be poor when he was
grown up. Accordingly he worked
hard and was very saving. More
over, he was smart, a great deal
smarter than common. What he put
his hand to, went. He was success
full as a grocer's clerk, as a grocer,
a trader and politician. He bought
and sold horses in the intervals of
business, and made money even at
that. One gets better notion of the
quality of the man from reading
about the first half OF his life, when
he lived in Troy, and was laying the
foundations of his fortune, than
about the last half, spent in New
York, for he was already rich man
when he came to New York Tin
1859. 1t was his misfortune that
he learned so thoroughly to save
money that he had not left in him
the power to learn to spend it. That
is one of the risks of forming early
ajts of thrift.

THE YouNGEST KING

Portugal, that little sister country
to Spain, far across the waters, has
just crowned a new King. His name
is Manuel, and although he is
Kings son, he was not the Crown
Prince, the eldest boy, and therefore
few thoughts of ruling a kingdom in
the near future entered his head, says
a writer in the Children's Magazine.
We hear that he was a happy
Prince, with great interest in music
and love OF the beautiful, until the
first of FebruarySof this year. Then,
without a word of warning, his father,
King Carlos of Portugal. and his
brother, the Crown Prince. LUZ
Felipe, were killed in the streets of
Lisbon, while riding with the Queen
and himself.
The loving mother, Queen Amelie,
tried to protect the Crown Prince
from the attack by bravely throwing
herself in front of him, but without
avail. That the present King, Man
uel, was not killed, together with the
Queen, is probably due to bungling
on the part of the assassins. Man
uel was slightly wounded. and the
Queen escaped injury.
Young King Manuel H., is only
eighteen, and was born Novembe r Is,
1889, at Lisbon. To think what a
tragic change for the infante Manuel
to lose his father and brother in d
minute. and from carefree boyhocd
to step in one moment to the King
ship of an ancient race. That he will
make good King seems probable.
1t is recalled that King Manuel L..
who reigned in Portugal from 1495
to 1921, was known as King Manuel
the Fortunate, and that his reign
was very prosperous
Dom Manuel ii. is the youngest
sovereign OF Europe. He assumes
the duties of King with little less
training than his brother had. His
first words to his counselors were, 81

DOM
The King, as Prince Manual. Duke
of Beta, has sufficient names for the
whole OF normal family. How
would you remember your name, if
like the young Kings, it was Manuel
Mario Philippe Charles Amelio Louis
Michael Raphael Gabriel Gonzague
Xavier Francis?
King Manuel was trained for the
navy, his late brother for the army.
The two Princes spent many happy
days with their parents. both in Lis
bon and at their beautiful country
seat, the Castle of Nenha, at Cintra.
1t is built on mountain peak in the
midst of marvellous scenery, where
the King Manuel of long ago spent
much of his time.
Let us all think frequently of the
young King Manuel, and believe that
Portugal's fortunes have fallen into
strong hands that will raise it out Of
turmoil.-Home Herald.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their PEI
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinllham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of otl4r suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public
