Now if Arizona will put a closed
time on ostriches for period of five
years. The hunting ought to be almost
equal to the moose hunting in Maine,
at the expiration Of the proposed bull
moose law. The prices Of ostriches
having dropped from the neighborhood
Of $3.50 TO IS. and ostrich farmers have
turned their stock loose in the wilds
rather than to feed the voracious
birds. This is all on account of the
war. and the inability Of the ostrich
trust to convince the :@eating public
that ostrich meat is equal to the flesh
Of the New England Thanksgiving
bird. Because Of misplaced trade reg
ulations in Europe just now. the os-
trich feather market has fallen off,
and the bird himself Is in as about as

preached sermon with sunshine, opti-

ren." he said. "They will flood your soul
with a new happiness, a new optimism"
One of the optimistic minister's parish
toner's is business man whose cash
register has suffered slump during the
financial depression. On the way home
he got to thinking Of the minister's talk.
1t was 30 optomistic In tone that it made
the parishioner sore.

ises." the business man kept repeating.
That's what he said. dear. and we
must do it." said the faithful wife.
Eyes, read the promises" he blurted
back. Just wait till his salary comes
due and my check isn't in the pile, and
he comes around and tells me agreed to
pay a certain sum. then I'll say"
Read the promises" his wife broke in,

Editorial from Boston News Bureau.
March 81
Once again testimony has been pre-
scented to the public indicative Of the
comparatively small profits made by
bankers in connection with railroad
financing handled by them. 1t is an

peated at times-t11at this or that system

James Speyer, at the recent investiga-
ton into Rock Island affairs by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, stated
that Speyer & Co. had purchased sl70,-
409,5 500 of bonds and notes from the Rock
Island between 1904 and 1919, and that
the total profit to the banking firm in
handling this aggregate of securities
was $1,43S.750, or about S Of / per cent
and this in a period Of eight years.

was realized a total net profit Of approx

According to the annual report IT
the Coroner which has just been is
sued there were 494 suicides in New
York City during 1914. The report
calls attention to the fact that the
methods Of suicide have changed.
Ten years ago 40 per cent. Of all the
suicides in the city were by carbolic
acid. Then law was passed making
it difficult to obtain the acid, and the
percentage dropped to fifteen. The
respondent then turned to shooting.
In 1911 there were los suicides by this
means. A law regulating the carry
ing and purchasing of firearms re-
duced the suicides by shooting to SO
in 1912, Sc in 1918 and So in 1914.
With the restricted sales Of carbolic
acid and pistols. bi-chloride Of mer-
curry tablets have come into use. In
1914 there were "a suicides by this
means, whereas ten years ago the
drug was practically unknown as a
means of ending life The report
also shows that ITO persons were
killed in Manhattan last year by auto
mobiles. OF these SO were under IA
years. Street cars and wagons took
