Important Financial Question.

The reformation of our financial
and banking practices is the most i'm
portant economic question hat a
ever confronted the world.
The financial resources of France
in 1903, when the Bank Of France
was established, were comparatively
small. So were the bank resources
If Great Britain small in 1874 when
the bank act, under which the Bank
of England is administered, was
passed. Nor can it be said that a
comparison between the banking con-
ditions of the German empire and
those of our own country can be rea-
sonably instituted, 80 vast is the dis
parity from every point of view.
The significance Of u problem be-
comes most impressive when consid-
cred in the light Of two comparisons.
First, Great Britain has only 12O,-
900 square miles; France only 2O4,-
600 square miles; Germany only 2o8,-
600 square miles; while the United
States has 100000 square miles.
Second, the banking resources Of
the entire world, including the United
States, we're only SIS, 900,000,000 in
1890; while the banking resources of
the United States to-day exceed $780,
600, OOO,0 900, or are twenty-five per
cent. larger than the banking re-
sources of the whole world were, less
than twenty yearsago.-Hon. Charles
N. Fowler, in the Atlantic.

Brennan had his wife summoned
to court because she drew money
from the bank. Mrs. Brennan
claimed she used the money for
household expenses.

RECOMMENDS FISH PONDS,
Following the Lead of a New York
State Expert.

If Professor Dyche succeeds IN con-
vincing the farmers of the State, or
a large part of them who have the
requisite facilities at hand, that a fish
pond on their premises will be OF
quite as much value to them and
their neighbors as many of their var
led enterprises, his services as State
fish and game commissioner will be
of untold value to the people of the
commonwealth.
AS Professor Dyche 10 we'll said in
an interview with him the other day:
1.-The existence of well stocked ponds
all over the State would be of i'm
mense food value to the people,
How true such a condition of affairs
would be of the present day, VIXEN
all kinds of meat are selling at fancy
figures? Most people are fond Of fish
if they can get hold Of any. Its nu-
tritive qualities are great, and it is a
most welcome change from a more
or less steady diet of meat.
There are no indications that the
price of meat will ever be much lower
in this country than it now is. The
chances are it will keep getting
higher and higher. So if Professor
Dyche's suggestions in this regard are
followed it will not be many years
before the people of Kansas can prac-
tice considerable household economy
by calling on their fish ponds to make
material and satisfying additions to
their food supply.
No reason exists, either, why such
ponds should not be sources of con-
siderable revenue to their owners.
The number Of fish that will live and
thrive in a small body of water is sur
prisingly large. In the course OF a
few years after the establishment of
one of them, the yield of fish that
would be ready for the frying pan or
the oven would be much larger than
any one family could use, regardless
of it's size. The surplus would find
q ready market in the immediate
neighborhood of the pond at prices
that would more than recompense the
owner for all Of his trouble in keep
ing it up.
Professor Dyche has pointed out
another way in which Kansas can
take the lead and show the other
States of the Nation a desirable path
to follow. It rests with her people
whether or not they take advantage
of it. If they do not they will only
be taking a considerable slice off
their own noses.-Topeka (Kan.)

Diet of the Old.

A sane diet fol- a person of seventy
or seventy-five should be made up
largely of vegetables and fruit, some
fish, some eggs, a little meat and sim
pie cereals. if there is no inclination
toward obesity.
Drinking with ones. meals is not
considered advisable, especially as
liquids are apt to wash down the food
before it is properly masticated Two
quarts of water, or more. should he
taken between meals, however DIR
ing the day. Hot water is especiaH'r
good for one who does not exercise
much, as it Pushes out the entire svs-
tenn. Stimulants, such as tea and
coffee, should not be very strong

Forbid Cows TO Chew Tobacco.

The domestic COW is one of the
most persistent tobacco chcwers In
the world. In many Of the tobacco
raising States where cattle are al
lowed to run at large, statutes have
been passed to prevent COWS chewing
tobacco. That manufacturer OF to-
bacco who allows a stray cow a
Chew" is subject to penalty under
the law, says the Chicago Tribune.
Naturally the manufacturer of to-
bacco doesn't present her with any
fancy leaf tobacco, or with any of his
best or most inferior plug product.
Simply after the stripping Of the
stems from the leaf was accom-
plished, he was disposed to dump
wagon loads of tobacco stems some
where in q vacant lot, there to rot
and enter again into soil.-or into the
family cow.

The Record of Raindrops.

\ It is by carefully noting small and
apparently insignificant things and
facts that men of science are enabled
to reach some Of their most surpris-
ing and interesting conclusions. In
many places the surface of rocks,
which millions of years ago must have
formed sandy or muddy sea beaches,
is found to be pitted with the i'm
pressions of rain drops. In England
it has been notice. that in many
cases the eastern sides Of these de-
pressions are the more deeply pitted.
indicating that the rain dro0s which
formed them were driven before a
west wind. From this the conclusion
is drawn that in the remote epoch
when the pits were formed the ma-
jority Of the storms In England came
from the west, just as they do to-day.

For instance, when some one has been

of the drowned person dry and warm,
