LITTLE TALKS ON* THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS Prxsidenf Ameriean Socier for 1Hrif

He rose to be vice-president, presto dent and at last chairman of the board of directors of the system. He was connected with many other large enterprises in Canada and elsewhere, became patron of the arts and govS -ernor of McGill University. He was knighted for his services by Queen Victoria in 1894 and dthenceforward tho former little railway yard boy of Joliet was known as Sir William Van Horne.
 From the time he started to earn his living in the. Illinois town to tho time he was taken back there for burS ial short time ago, he made every moment count. Not one was wasted. Every boy or girl who wishes to rise will do well to ponder how Sir William Van Horne did 1t, by being thrifty with his time. 3
 Tho European war has been tho means, in many ways, of bringing homo to the American people their lack ot thrift. They have found that many ol the things they have been depending on foreign countries for, could be pro- duced at home. Money has been 60 plentiful with us that 1t has seemed easier for us to send 1t abroad for things which, with the right amount of energy, we could manufacture at home.
 A recent bulletin of the Ohio Agricul- tural station brings up, the subject of the cessation for the, time being of the importation of potash salts used in commercial fertilizers. It is stated in the bulletin that during the winter the barns and yards, loo, ,ooo, 900 pounds 1of potash is produced in Ohio alone. Most of this is absorbed and carried Into the rivers, therefore, lost-a sinful waste when we consider that we have been buying about one-fourth of this amount from Germany at cost, by the time it is delivered at tho farm. of nearly $l ,oo0.coo a year.

Our own farmers are making great progress, but with a. number of men familiar with all the kinds of stock far'ning to set the example, this section could soon be producing beef and pork in sufficient quantity to supply the plant operating throughout the year.

TAKE FISH BY WHOLESALE
Natives Of South Pacific Island Have
Their Own Method Of Gathering
Food From Sea.

The natives of Rarotonga, one OF the
islands In the South Pacific ocean,,
have a singular method OF catching
fish in which the whole community
takes part. On the shore Of the is
land there are many long, narrow
lagoons, each lying between a beach
and an outer reef of coral, that usu-
ally swarm with fish. The natives
choose one of these stretches of shall
low water for the fish drive, and
close all breaks In the reef by lay
ing nets across them or building up
rough barriers with pieces Of coral.
When they have done that, six or
seven hundred men, women and chill
dren wade into one end OF the lagoon
carrying little, plated fiber bags filled
with utu nut. In most cases the wa
ter is about three feet deep. and no
where more than four feet; so the ma
tives march slowly up the lagoon, trail
ing behind them the bags of utu nut.
AS this substance is wet it forms a pc
culiar narcotic, which it ,diffuses
through the water. The process is
called poisoning the lagoon"
Half an hour is allowed for the
poison" to spread, and at the end
of that time all the fish are under
the influence of the drug, and are
swimming about in a confused and
afmless name The natives, armed
with long, pronged spears, form a line
that reaches from side to side of the
lagoon, and march along shouting,
splrshing, and driving the intoxicated
fish before them. When the fish are
all collected at the farther end of the
lagoon, the natives begin to cry, Eth
hu-hu-u-u!" and the barbed spears fly
in all directions. The natives are very
dexterous with the spears, and the fish
are so sluggish, owing to the effects
of the utu nut, that very few of them
escape.
Many of the poisoned" fish seek the
shelter of the coral reef and hide In
the crevices; and SO some Of the ma
tives fish" the reef. They put on
glass goggles and sink beneath the
water, where they remain submerged
for one or two minutes. They feel
about among the coral for the l~istless
fish, which they get with a short,
thrusting spear. These methodical
fishermen usually make the biggest
catches; but the merry men in the
open water enjoy the best sport. MI
merous varieties of fish are obtained,
but all have the brilliant and beautiful
coloring peculiar to the fish of the
tropics.-Youth's Companion.

HOUSE OF PECULIAR DESIGN
Architect of Ancient Abode In Britain
Intended Structure to Typify
the Trinity.

The most peculiar house in the
United Kingdom is probably the tri-
angular one at Rushton, in Northamp-
tonshire. It's design is supposed to
typify the Trinity. 1t has three sto-
ries, and each story has three win
dows on each of the three sides, while
each of the windows in two of the
three stories is in the shape of a
trefoil-the th~reeleaved shamrock. In
each of the other windows there are
twelve panes, arranged in three tours,
and the panes throughout are TRAN
gular.
Three gables rise on each side, and
from the center, where their roofs
meet, a three-sided chimney sur
mounted by a triangular pyramid
terminates in a large trefoil. The
smoke issues from three round holes
on each OF the three sides of the Chin
ney. Three Latin inscriptions, one
on each side of the house, have each
thirty letters, while over the door
there is another Latin inscription OF
three words, the English of which is,
There are three that bear record"
and on each side are the carved fig
Tres of three angels bearing shields.
Inside the house each floor contains
three three-sided apartments; the
length Of each Of the walls, by outside
measurements, is 33 #. 4in.-that is
exactly 33 1-3 IT.

inhalation of the pollen of certain
weeds and grasses. This pollen is
taken up In the air and distributed
over large areas. In our climate the
pollen of the universally distributed
ragweed is especially suspected. II
also has been shown that the preva-
lence of hay fever comedies with the
prevalence of ragweed pollen in the
air. Yet, withal, the disease shows
certain peculiarities. 1t is rare in
young children but often begins after
the tenth year. 1t seldom begins after
the fortieth year, but old age is not
entirely exempt. 1t is more common
in men than in women. Many investi-
gators claim that it is a disease of
the more refined classes, n that the
very poor and uneducated are prac-
, tically proof against the disease. Many
of these peculiarities point towards
the possibility of certain v fac
tors in the causation of hay fever.
Hence, hay fever is now usually con-
sindered a neurosis due to an irrita-
ton of the mucous membrane of the
nose, caused by the inhalation of the
pollen of certain plants.
Many cases of hay fever have doubt
less been cured by various methods
in the hands of physicians. At the
same time many cases have baffled
every method of treatment. The most
recent methods of treatment are
called specifics and fall into two
c~lasses-those made from pollens and
those made from bacteria. The real
value of these methods will not be
known until they have had a full and
fair trial. In the meantime local treat
ments prove effective in most cases.

HAY FEVER.

HAY FEVEh.
Hay fever has ever been a fruitful
subject for discussion and expert
mentation in the medical profession.
II is a disease characterized by a
severe irritation of the mucous mem
brance of the nose and eyes. 1t be-
gins with itching Of the nose, which
extends to the eyes and often to the
ears. Periodic sneezing fits occur,
followed by a p~rofuse watery dis
charge. The symptoms f~luctuate, be-
coming more severe at different times
during the day and IN different days.
They are usually made worse by hot,
dry weather, and moderated by rains
and cooler weather. The eyes be-
come suffused with tears and blood
shot. The throat feels irritated and
more or less coughing may occur. The
most distressing symptom is difficult
breathing, which increases to periodic
spells of asthma especially at night.
In our climate hay fever usually
begins late in August or early in Sep
TENDER, and often occurs on the same
day of each succeeding year. The af-
lection stops, at the latest, with the
first frost and often the beginning of
cool weather, after which the patient
has no further symptoms until the
following summer. The disease re-
turns annually with occasional excep-
tions. If it is not cured it may stop
spontaneously after many seasons.
Most patients. however, do not lose
their annual affection unless a cure
has been affected.
The peculiar seasonal and geograph'
ical distribution Of hay fever has led
to the view that it is caused by the

The shaking up which the school
authorities gave to some of the Negro
elementary teachers in the recent as
signments is doubtless meant as a
warning to those who fail to appre-
ciate the necessity of systematic and
harmonious work OF who place too
much stress upon their individual
merit as a cooperating force. The
new ideals and new order of things
in modern education call for the sub
merging of self into the great pro-
cess of working toward cogent, tang

~preciate this purpose will naturally
be eliminated as factors of the pro
