Because any hank that had good bills

You must put per cent, 5000, on de-
post with the Treasury to meet bills pre-
scented for redemption or exchange-so
that you have only $4,000 to invest. Then
you pay taxes, one-half per cent on your
circulation; SO that you have your $4,000
in bills to loan, and you receive from
the bonds 5000 year income. But you
pay $500 taxes and lose interest on 5000

is profit left over Of $1,000, against
which you must take all the chances OIL

WIND HARD ON OUR NERVES
the East, West and North
west.

The east winds hug the earth
more closely and gather moisture,
dust and bacteria. They are cold
and humid, altogether forming an
enervating influence on human and
animal life, and rendering it suscep-
tible to the disease germs which the
winds carry and disseminate.
The cool, pure northwest winds
come from a region of dry, highly
electrified air where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. They
are invigorating. The framework
of nerves in the human being is like
delicate electrical apparatus, the
nerves being the wires and the brain
and ganglia receiving apd distribu-
ting centers.
Every one knows that telephone
works better on a clear, dry day
than on a wet, muggy one. The
moist atmosphere lessons vitality.
The nerve wires grow Aaccid and
heavy. The messages become con-
fused. Hence, low spirits, melan-
choIia, distorted mental outlook,
faulty assimilation and disease.
The opposite effects flow from the
northwest winds. The west and
northwest winds keep the mucous
membranes of the body in good
working order. The coating of moist
ure which is always present with the
east winds disappears. Absence of
any wind if long continued has a
bad effect on the human body and
mind.
A prolonged calm means lack of
ventilation on a great scale. The
winds serve to mix in normal pro-
portions the gases which compose
the atmosphere, and in this way
they are conducive to health up to a
certain point. Beyond about twenty
miles an hour their influence begins
to be unfavorable.

MAKING THE WILLOW PLUME
Tying the FIues of Artificial Ostrich
Feathers Is Big Industry Of New
York Tenement District.

The tying Of the fues of willow"
plumes-the sweeping artificial os-
trich feathers Of the present fash
ion-has become during the last two
years a very extensive industry in
New York tenements The factories
where these feathers are made are
chiefly located in the Italian dis
tricts of the upper East side. On
some streets the ground floor and
first floor of almost every house is
occupied by small factories and
workshops, and during the season.
from March to June and from Sep
tember to December-the window Of
every factory has sign in Italian: !:
"Women wanted to work in willow"
Most of the curling and dyeing of
the feathers is done in the factories !;
but rs per cent. of the "willowing"
the most lengthy and monoto-
nous part of the trade-is done in
the tenements.
'Willowing" consists in tying to
every Glue" or filmy strand of a
good ostrich feather two strands
stripped from inferior ostrich feath-
ers. The work is paid for by the
inch; five or six cents an inch in
factories, and four or five cents an
inch in the homes for black plumes
and cent less for white. The inch
is measured on the stem of the orig
inal feather and therefore involves
the tying of innumerable delicate
knots for each inch of finished work.
A tenement worker cannot make an
18-inch feather in less than one and
half or two days. She is paid 70
or 80 cents for this work. The
feather sells at retail anywhere from
$3.50 to $25.-McClure's Magazine.
