Where Old Cans Go.

Goodness gracious!" exclaims the
housewife, II wonder what becomes
of all the tin cans that are thrown
away" Never fear, dear madam, they
are not lost, nor does one Of them &C
to waste.
A friend of the visitor, who is a
well-known business man, Is thorough
ly acquainted with the tin can from
it's infancy to the day of it's doom
well, what does become of all these
cans?" was asked the authority.
They are" he replied, "reincarnat'
ed, so to speak, and become, in fact
a new tin can, but mostly window
weight" Then he explained how the
old tin cans are gathered up and hurl'
ed into furnace, and how the thin
veneer of tin, which is merely the out.
er covering, is separated, as melted
product from the steel, which forms
the real basis for the can. The tin
is far more valuable than the steel
and it Is used over and over again for
covering cans. The steel part, when
melted, becomes a solid chunk; In
fact, the solidest chunk in the whole
steel family. Window weights must
be small, but hefty; hence the use OF
steel from tin cans.

Paint Needed

While many persons are aware

needs repainting, but few r"9IISe
that, unless the matter is attended
to this summer the fence will be
damaged materially.
In the absence of any superIn-
tendent or special committee ii is
the duty of the trustees Of the Gem
etery to take the initiative IN the
matter, and set on foot move t"
raise the money and have the work
done.
We feel safe in saying that all
that is needed is to appeal to the
lot owners for their part of the IL
naDces, The fact that the man.
agement of this sacred spot has
hitherto been in the hands of the
trustees, places the responsibility
on them, and unless they act the
needed work will probably not be
done.
The care and attention given to

LIKE PIRATE DAYS or CID
Men Who Were shanghaied From
Norfolk, Va, Seek Satisfaction
From Authorities.

The days of the oyster pirates anu
old wind tanners were recalled Wheh
Walter McGirth, son Of a North caro-
lima farmer, and Ebert Cocran, son OF
a former Pittsburs banker, told no"
they had been changhaied at the poln'
of pistol and forced to work tnelr
way as seamen to Hamburg when tney
thought that they were going TO snip
to Boston, says the Philadelphia llmes.
The immigration authorities are manu-.
ling the case and a deputy united
States marshal, accompanied by tne
two men, is on the way to Nor1oik
to arrest the agent who shipped tnem.
The two young men met last NOV
ember in Norfolk, Va. Both were OUT
of employment and sought work about
the docks. They were met, ACCORDING
to their story, by an alleged crew snip
ping agent, who offered to book tnem
on the steamer Dortmund OF the HAM
burg-American line, which was lying
at the docks. The young men were
told that the ship was bound for Bos-
ton. They accompanied the agent to
an Office.
They say that they met SWede on
the way and he consented to go along.
The three were asked to sign Ship
ping papers, but the swede refused to
sign until he had read them. This
angered the agent, who Is alleged to
have drawn a revolver and knocked
the Swede unconscious.
The young men say that they were
given about So worth of clothing and
put aboard the ship. Then they
learned that they we're bound for Ham
burg instead of Boston, but were
forced to work. When the steamer
reached the other side Of the Atlantic
the young men went to Consul Gen
eral Skinner at Hamburg and
lodged their complaint. Mr.. Skinner
sent them back to this country to
make their complaint to the immigra-
ton authorities.

When RothschiId Died.

The general and widespread evil
dences of sorrow occasioned by the
death of Mr.. Morgan are everywhere
apparent, They find some form of ex-
preston not only among the eminent
and the wealthy, but to some extent
among the poor and the lowly as
well. It is always SO. The taking-off
of distinguished people who have cred
itably served their day and generation
affects us all, more or less, in one
way or another. When Baron Nathan
de Rothschild, the head of the great
banking house of that name, died in
Vienna there was mourning every
where. On the day of the funeral a
great man happened to meet a lit
tie, ragged urchin in the street
whose eyes were filed with tears.
why are you sad, little boy?" ask
ed the great man.
"Oh, sir, it is because Rothsehild
is Dead" answered the boy.
But he was not a relative Of yours"
added the great man.
"Ah, no! Therefore I weep" said
the boy.

trees have been known to snap and
split from the biting force of the cold.
Still many Russians even seem to

considerably to the enjoyment of the

SUICIDES, MALE AND FEMALE
Three German Men to One Woman
XIII Themselves, According to
PrussIan Statistics.

II Prussian statistics give any idea
of the relative proportion, then women
must be much fonder Of life than men,
for more than three men commit sui
eide for every woman who takes her
own life.
According to the Berlin correspond
ent Of the Lancet, the number OF sui
cides in Prussia showed q slight de-
crease during the year 1911, when Il
cases were registered for each 100000
of the population, as compared with 70
in 1910. The actual number of per-
sons who took their own lives was g.
422, of whom 1894 were men and 2,O28
were women.
The relatively highest proportion of
suicides-namely, 35 for each 100000
occurred in the province Of Bran
denburg; next came Berlin, with 81
per 100000.
The tendency to commit suicide In
creases with the age, the proportion
per 100000 at various age periods be-
ing as follows: Between fifteen and
twenty-five years, 26; between thirty
and forty years, %; between sixty and
seventy years, 81; between seventy
and eighty years, 81, and over eighty
years, So.
About Is per cent. Of suicides are
said to be caused by insanity. In 879
cases bodily suffering, in 600 cases al
coholic excess, in 942 cases sorrow
and in 6O4 cases remorse were the
causes assigned. In 1,7S6 cases the
cause was absolutely unknown.
The smallest number Of suicides
happened on Fridays and Sundays,
and the highest number on Mondays
and Tuesdays.
