The Farthina Is Mighty.

The significance Of the farthing
{half cent?, which is being driven
home to us by increasing prices, has
always been clearly realized by the
big men Of finance. Grant Duff records
how the late Lord ROthschild, when
someone expressed contempt Of the
difference Of farthing in the value
Of certain gold coins. quietly re-
marked, "This young man has evil.

MAKING TEST OF FRIENDSHIP

break il off as to change anything else
in our manner Of life. This is not

regard or both sides.
rUt what arc the causes Of the re-
e0rd? Perhaps certain similarity in
position. in tastes. For, after all,
among erown-up persons friendship
cannot be active without some such
conditions. You may once have been
the dearest friend with somebody who
IS now much richer or much poorer
than YOU. The affection still cndures
But you are not really friends. 1t Is
practically impossible to share each
others interests, the accidents Of each
others life
You may say, if you choose, that
Friendship Is a spiritual thing. an af-
fair Of the soul; and that is true, but
not all the truth. 1t is merely playing

Black Hole of Calcutta.

If the prisoners in the famous Black
Hole had been as we'll informed as
modern scientists. there would have
been no such death rate as actually
occurred. The men died of sutfoca-
ton and panic. Modern discovery has
shown that air can support life if it
be kept in motion. even though it has
but Il small amount Of oxygen in it.
If the prisoners in the notorious dun
ScCn had therefore formed in a mass
and rcvoived round and round at
pace that would have been easy to
keep mp, not only would the contained
air have been stirred up, but each
man on the outside Of the revolving
mass would have had his face present
ed periodically to q small window.
In fact, in the light of recent dis
cOvcry, the same Incarceration could
now take place without the loss Of
a single life; that is, provided the
men we're reasonably strong and
healthy.

Josephus Daniels. secretary OF the

Two enthusiasts over the game lent
a large set of clubs to Lane and they

FARMERS NEED THE BIRDS
For Purely Selfish Reasons the De-
struction of Feathered Songsters
Should Be Stopped.

Birds are the chief protectors of
our trees. Who ever heard of cod
ling moth and San Jose and other
scales when the orchards were full
of birds? Now that these feathered
helpers have been driven out of wood
and field, man is compelled to resort
to all sorts of vexatious and difficult
struggles against the enemy of fruit
and tree.
The birds are the very best destroy
ers of weeds. Native sparrows, finches,
grosbeaks, redpolls. longspurs, cow
birds, mourning doves and similar
birds feed hungrily upon the fall
weed seeds at time when the crops
have been gathered and they can do
no harm to it.
The best helper farmer can have
is a host of birds. But instead of rec
ognizing these efficient helpers, so
generously provided by nature, we
wantonly slay them by the hundreds
for fun.-Kendallville News-Sun.

Roof-cIeanine Crusade.

Something new to worry about has
been suggested by the citizens street
cleaning bureau in Chicago. Dirt
and rubbish removed from the roofs
of downtown buildings filed, 1t is said,
IA wagons, as much as would be swept
up In day from four and a quarter
miles of downtown streets. Now 1t Ia
proposed to have the street cleaning
department sweep the roofs also
Most of the buildings, II is believed,
have not had their roofs cleaned since
they were put on. And much of the
dirt that fills the air and filters the
streets is thought 10 be blown OF
these roofs.
The promoters OF the roof-cIeaning
idea have undertaken the campaign
with all the enthusiasm of discover.
ers. They say to sweep the streets
and leave the roofs dirty lis like the
housekeeper who sweeps the dust un-
der the sofa. Strange to say this
new wrinkle in municipal houseclean-
ing did not originate with the newly
enfranchised feminine voters. Some
man thought 1t out all by himself, But
who can say that he did not get his
idea from the vernal stunts back
home?
