old Cuckoo superstitions.

In the spring the cuckoo's first call
of the season formerly played q great
part in love divinations. A common
English belief was that an unmarried
person hearing cuckoo call and I'M
mediately taking or boots and stock
ings would find on the grent toe OF the
right foot hair whose color would be
that Of the poll of the destined lover.
Another idea. mentioned by Milton.
and persisting till this day, was that
IN unmarried man or maid would re.
main single for just as many years as
the number of the cuckoo's calls when
first heard In the spring.

R.dium for Everybody.
1900 TONS OF MATERIAL YIELDS LESS
THAN WEIGHT OF A HALF DOLLAR.


Do Won know that this country now
leads not only In the mining Of radium,
but also 10 the scientific exploitation
and practical application Of radiomr
In Moutrose County, Colo. thsre are
Oh ore claims. covering about l.VO
acres, controlled by tho Standard Chemi-
cal company. The mines have 40 out
put OF 100 tons per month, from which
is derived yield, BY . special refining
process of only one gram of radium.
Think of handling 1900 tons OF raw
material per year in the most elaborate
manner imaginable, In order to extract
twelve grams of finished product, OF
less than the weight OF fifty cent ooin!
The deposits found have been thor
oughly tested, writes Ernest d. Helm
richs In the current number OF the Min
Ing and Engineering Journal, and have
been shown to contain . high grade
oaruotite orc containing uranium, vana'
dunn and radium.
The company's "rsdium research
laboratory In Pittsburgh, where the
radium ore is taken for treatment, is one
of the most unique institutions In the
world. There is no other that can be
compared with 1t either In completeness
or equipment or In the scope, ss we'll az
elaborateness, OF its. operations. There
is no other radium laboratory producing
so large . quantity of this precious
metal, nor Ia there place where radium
applications and radium effects are 81
thoroughly studied through all their
various ramif1cations as here. The
most modern methods by staff oil
scientific men, who have been gathered
from many institutions OF learning at
home and abroad. The chief OF the
laboratory is DR.. Otto Brill, a graduate
of the University OF Vienna, and CO.
worker OF DR.. Walter Nernst, the invent.
OF of the Nerns, lamp.
The product Of the laboratory Ia used
for scientific as we'll as for medical and
therapeutic purposes. Its applications
and effects are made most minute
study and experiments for new develop
ments are constantly carried on. With
it's large supply of ore this laboratory
expects within the near future to be in
position to furnish the world with
radium in large quantities.

Forestry as Vocation.
MORE PLACES THAN PERSONS TO FILL
THEM-EMPLoYEEs WELL PAID.

A young man can become q forester
now Just as he can become y lawyer, a
minister, or q doctor, except perhaps he
may have to 60 farther to attend pro-
fessional school. More trained men are
needed than the schools are turning out.
The national government, with Its 1885,
600, 900 acres of national forest area, EN-.
ploys about 1900 foresters, rangers and
guards and needs q much larger force.
Timber land owners, lumber companies,
educational institutions and states which
are beginning to take up forestry are oil
seeking good men. -.
To be q good forester man should
combine something Of the naturalist
with . good deal OF the business man.
He must have tho power Of observation,
q fondness for nature and the ability to
penetrate her secrets. But X he ID to
succeed be must also have practical
judgment and the ability to handle men.
A forester must combine . vigorous
mind with q vigorous body. he must
be Of the kind that likes to get things
done and does not give up when things
are not going his way. He will have to
face difficulties and work out problems
for himself, far from outside help. rely.
ing solely upon bis own resources, sup.
ported by Ills own courage. he ought
to be hard to whip.
The professional forester cannot hope
for big fees and certain pleasant sur.
roundings of life which crown distin.
guished success in some other profession
He must be content without much
luxury; he will have to spend q good
deal OF time out of the reach of the
ordinary comforts. he must be able
and willing to rough 1t without com
plant, to sleep on hard beds, sometimes
with only the ground for his pillow and
the sky for his blanket, eat homely fare,
endure prolonged exsrtion and get
along we'll with plain people. On the
other hand, II he is we'll fitted for bis
profession, and a few weeks Of actual
forest work will tell him whether he IL
or not, he can count on q pretty sure
though q moderate success.

BLOATED BONDHOLDER.

Copyright. 1915, BY c. NJ. Keys. New York;
About a year ago a little old-fashioned
Irish woman came TO visit a bond house
in New York She had seen their ad-
vertising in the newspapers. By profess
sion she was a masseuse, and her in
come was pitifully small She had
worked for ten years in New York and
saved an average of $50 year, so that
she had $500 TO invest. She wanted a
$500 bond. and she had to have one, she
said, that could be cashed in ireland as
well as in New York.
She told her story very simply. 1t
was a story of hard luck in the begin
ming and of hard work for the rest of
1t. Always. she had had one ambition:
it was to be able, when the time came
that she could no longer work. to go
back to Ireland and buy a little bit of
cottage in the village where she was
born and brought up, and settle down
to live on whatever income she could
accumulate by years of hard work She
figured that an income of s75 a year
would see her through.
The $500 that she had to invest was
about half of what she hoped to be able
to accumulate in her life time of work.
Therefore, she wanted to be very care
full, and at the same time she wanted
the $500 to work for her as hard as ii
could. She seemed to feel as though
the money was part of herself and that
her future depended very much on
whether both she and this little fund
worked successfully for the rest of the
time that they would be working.
Her money was safely tucked away in
a first mortgage railroad bond with in
ternational coupons. The bond house
went to a good deal of trouble to find
exactly the right thing, and made ex-
actly g. cents on the transaction. It
is keeping her bond for her, collecting
no deductions. In all probability 1t will
spend a good deal more than it ever
got out of the trade; unless, by chance.
the heartfelt gratitude OF a helpless in
vestor may be considered worth some
thing.
This little Irish woman went back to
her work a bondholder. II any one
should tell her that she Is now a rep
resentative of the capitalist class she
would laugh; but. nevertheless, 1t is
true. She represents in a very humble
way the class of people that have come
to be the mainstay of the great invest
ment markets of the world. In the
United States more than in any other
wealthy country, the army of little
bondholders and stockholders has in
creased in the last few years. In other
times, only the wealthy ever aspired to
own a bond. and the little people who
accumulated savings by hard work and
